I seem to be watching a lot of Vampire Anime recently. One of the best to come out in the last year that I finished last night is 'Black Blood Brothers' which is distributed in Region 1 by FUNimation...
The Official Black Blood Brothers Anime Website from FUNimation
The basic premise of the series is that 10 years before, Hong Kong was destroyed by a pandemic infective Vampire outbreak... The city was rebuilt in an adjacent region called the 'Special Zone', but powers behind the scene maintain the district as a secret vampire sanctuary, where humans and vampires clans can live and interact in peace. But something is not right behind the scenes, and these are the conditions where the two main vampire characters (Male adult and 10 year old child) enter the scene...
Basically, the entire 12 episode series is just an excuse to show a good old fashion Vampire Clan War in the last DVD, with enough loose ends for a possible continuation. The episodes have a distracting habit of mixing scenes from the characters past with the present, but everything is tied up neatly in the end. The series isn't as bloody and violent (or as good) as 'Hellsing Ultimate' OVA series, but being a TV series for broadcast, (and limited by broadcast censorship standards), its understandable to expect lower quality standards...
So... IMHO, better the 'Tsukihime Lunar Lengend', 'Trinity Blood', 'Moonphase'
8 out of 10, a series to recommend...
