Well, at Least the Live-Action Blood Movie Knows What Its Fans Want
And what its fans want is a Japanese girl in a sailor-style school uniform killing the bejeezus out out of some vampires with a samurai sword. And that’s all this trailer has! Amazing. Imagine if all the other nerd movies were so dedicated to its fans; we’d all die of bliss. Now, I’m sure the Blood movie will be boring in that way that 95% of Japanese movies are — I know there’s some white chick named Allison Miller who co-stars, and I’m pretty sure she’s going to waste valuable screen time teaching Saya about friendship or something — but for now, I’ll simply bask in the awesomeness of the trailer.
