If you're a big fan of anime, then you won't want to miss this live-action adaptation of the popular Blood series. The hugely successful original anime film by the same title was released in 2000. It spawned a franchise; several comic novels, a video game and a T.V. miniseries all came out of the original film, directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo.
In this 2009 version, the protagonist, Saya, is played by a Korean, Gianna Jun. Saya is a vampire, employed by a covert government agency in a post-WWII Japan to hunt and destroy demons. The plot thickens when Saya is inserted into a military school to discover which of her classmates is a demon in disguise. There's plenty of blood, sword fighting and walking on air, a la Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (same producer) to make it a worth while watch.
