Blood : The Last Vampire (2000) 7/10

Starring : Youki Kudoh, Saemi Nakamura, Joe Romersa
Director : Hiroyuki Kitakubo
Running Time : 46 mins

Saya (Kudoh) is a young girl who works for a secret governmemt organisation, and is sent undercover as a schoolgirl to investigate a military college that has been rumoured to be overrun with vampiric creatures and, once she's found them, she is tasked to destroy them before they can infect America's young soldiers.

This is a beautifully animated movie which takes a very simple horror premise and turns it into more of a mystery piece. The plot isn't dragged out for too long, though I'd have preferred if there was a little more exposition along the way, but I guess they had to save something for the TV show.
