    Bring it back to Prime subscribers

    I love it but can't see all episodes and Prime Abo had it no more to watch

    Really good needs more sessions

    Although it has some basic tropes it really goes all over the place in a good way and kept me interested. It needs some work must spend a little bit more time behind scenes pick up backstories and continuity.

    Up time to go I'm really hoping for another revamp it would be super cool I would watch a little bit more fighting would be good too I'm trying to fill in all the characters because you know you have to and also and me personally would like a little less fan service and a little bit more character development into the main female lead other than that it's really good but then again all this can be fixed by a little bit more backstores and continuity.

    We want more!!!

    I honestly love the series, but I was disappointed that there is still not a season 2. Please make a season 2.

    Had potential, but turned out as trash.

    "Blood Lad" is an anime that I was really looking forward to because I thought that the drawing style and the character design of the main protagonist looked very appealing.

    The references to other animes sometimes made me exhale more forcefully from my nose.

    But unfortunately none of that is of any use if the anime loses itself somewhere and no longer knows what to do with itself.

    There is a goal to revive the girl, but the way to get there is clunky and boring.

    In addition, I'm not a fan of fan service at all, which unfortunately is very present here...

    I would not recommend this anime.

    Not Good Enough

    Blood Lad had some solid first two episodes and then nothing. The story isn't something you haven't watched before and it was all over the place. Only the lead character was interesting and maybe one or two others characters tops, whether the lead lady was just there for fanservice and nothing else. Also, the humour was less and less as the anime proceeded. So, I'm overall disappointed.
