Hi there : )
I am Akira
New to this forum. I wanted to talk about Blood-C but I couldn't find a good forum for it until now.
So first I wanted to express my thought about Blood-C
for first 2 - 3 episodes, I have read many people were disappointed about Blood-C or that it lacks impact and saying it's a disppointment + a bad show.
I do understand where they are coming from because I would say that the first few episodes did not have as much impact if compared with Blood+
But how could a person say if they have not seen the final of the End of a show? It just seem very impatient of people to say so.
Blood-C didn't give me a BIG impression but watching it and knowing the fact it's made by Clamp
I enjoyed it.
Clamp always had a pattern of starting things slow or having a bit of innocent / light elements to their shows.
Clamps is also good at giving or making us wonder about things, there's always a mystery to the story.
This is shown through
- Card Captor
- Tsubasa Chronicle
- Code Geass
e.g.
After thinking of this fact, I reckon Blood-C started of great with the slice of life element.
Episode 1 - 3
The pattern of the episode start of with a very cheerful girl having her normal daily rountine
And then half way, we see myterious creatures which she has to defeat for unknown reasons.
Have anyone notice even tho the pattern is pretty much the same, there are all these little things that makes us question about stuff?
The suspicous Dog
The vision that Saya kept seeing.
The weird eyes turning Red when Tokizane walked away from Saya at school e.g.
Anyway, to me the episodes were great, I believe they are done for the purpose of showing the pattern of Saya's everyday life. I believe we could take this and believe This Lifestyle of Saya has gone for Days, Weeks or Months e.g.
So when Episode 3, a monster talked to Saya we can already know that this is not normal and therefore, it's the start of bring us into the big picture Just by such a simple line "Honour the Convenant".
Anyway, I should talk about Episode 5
I totally agree with the idea that Fumito is the Mastermind as he is a Fai (TCR) Type of character, smiles innocent but hides his true colors.
I must state, some Anime Openning tells or gives hints to you what we should expect, or the mood of the show or hints to what to focus on. Blood-C's op is definitely something we should take more care to look at the details it gives me.
From the Openning Video,
After Saya is introduce, FUMITO is the SECOND Character to be quickly introduce!!!! followed by the Father.
Then the class rep and Tokizane.
The tall girl who is friends (suppose) in the opening seem like she may could be something too.
Anyway
My thoughts of the show.
I have reasons to believe that Saya might be living in an illusion
or her everyday daily routine is not what it seems.
I aren’t certain but something seem odd.
Episode 3 – when she encounters the dog and go and grab it saying “Don’t go off the road, a car might come and hit you”.
Did anyone catch on that the street always seem very quiet to be normal?
This has been happening for almost every episode.
That no one seems to be around or on the street?
Yes it can be Clamp is showing that it’s a peaceful town
But really, do you really think so?
Another thing, has anyone notice that we don’t get to see any other classmates talk or interact or does anything in the episodes?
We only see Saya and her friends. Yes it could be possible Clamp is just focusing on the main cast. But even in Episode 5, no one reacted when Saya faint.
Maybe some/all of Saya's Friends aren't human.
If Fumito is not a bad guy. He is just a guy who is aware of what Saya is.
Maybe the talking Dog is the Eye / Head of the Elder Bairn?
(Talking, Yeah I am pretty sure it can talk (Clamp always have some sort of talking animal. Kero, Mokona, Talking Dog in Kobato)
Episode 3, Fumito serves something different to Saya’s father. He say that the father can only stand weak coffee is a lie as Saya is actually being served Blood without knowing. If it’s not blood it’s some sort of drug / chemical that control her instincts.
Have anyone notice that when Fumito is touching Saya’s face with his hands, that could be a sign of caring or trying to connect with a person, but if you have seen Detective Conan
It is said that it’s a way that an FBI agent use to tell or sense rather a person is lying or not.
The Father of Saya is a Shrine Priest, so maybe he is the one that made a contact with the head of the Elder Bairn
A Convenant in which Elder Bairn may devour humans only on certain nights of day, week, year e.g.
Opening the part where there is two moon might symbol human and Elder Bairn. The mysterious figure might be Fumito (if you look closely, it might be proof it is because of the figure shadow)
Anyway, the father cannot stand the thought of so many innocent lifes being eaten so.
Somehow, Saya was born / created / summoned / he discovered in Saya’s Sleeping Spot (Like Blood+ Saya)
therefore the father of Saya is likely not Saya’s biological father.
P.S. Nene & Nono might not be Clamp's usual pattern of Twins
There is 3 Nene/Nono. The Preview of Episode 6 shows this.
So this really makes me think that maybe what I said above is true "Some/ all of Saya's friends aren't human"
Something RANDOM
but Tokizane has Blue Eyes + the fact that Saya has some sort of attraction to him
Could he be somewhat like a Diva in this Blood-C?
I am not saying he is a Twin of Saya or Diva reborn e.g. but could his eyes glow? : P
Too much to write not enough time to write it all and proof read so
I will leave it at this for now. What do you guys think?
