Blood+ is an anime series produced by Production I.G and Aniplex, directed by Junichi Fujisaku. The series premiered in Japan on October 2005. It was inspired by the 2000 anime film "Blood: The Last Vampire", however, there are only a few allusions and basic elements from the film.

Story: Throughout the passage of time and the shifts in backgrounds, a particular war continues to leave its mark on history, extending its influence into the modern world. There are two major groups involved in the ensuring war. The first group consists of monsters known as Chiropterans who can change their appearances into that of human beings. They are actually immortals who feed on the blood of the living. The second group is an organisation known as the "Red Shield", formed to track down these monsters and exterminate them. Otonashi Saya is a high-school girl who lives a peaceful life with her family. The only problem is, she has no recollections of her life beyond that of the past year. However, her happy life will be destroyed by an event that will lead her to her destined fate.
