Friday Frights – Week 6 – BLOOD-C: The Last Dark

October 25, 2013 by Funimation

Halloween is almost here, but Saya’s already back for revenge. This has been a banner year for horror in anime, so we decided to get an early start giving the terror lovers, costume fanatics, and party animals among you a whole heck of a lot to watch! Every Friday until Halloween we’re going to deliver up a series or movie to enjoy during the weekend as we start ramping up to fright night!

 

We’ve been very excited about the BLOOD-C TV series winning Best Animation in the 2013 Reaper Awards, especially because we’ve just released the film that finishes off the series: BLOOD-C: The Last Dark. Production I.G has brought their A-game to this gorgeous partnership with manga superstars CLAMP, and if you only watched the first episode or two of the TV series, we think the movie will shock you…in a good way!
