Blood Lad English Sub & Dub

About Blood Lad

Looking for background on Blood Lad (ブラッドラッド)? This action, adventure and comedy series by Brain's Base (2013) starts out like this. What the story covers: Staz is the vampire boss of a section of the demon realm, but he has little interest in human blood. He's more infatuated with Japanese culture.

As things develop, when he learns that Yanagi Fuyumi, a Japanese teenage girl, accidentally wanders into the demon city, he jumps to the occasion. However, while Staz deals with an intruder on his turf, the oblivious Fuyumi is killed by a monster and turns into a wandering ghost. The disappointed Staz vows to her that he will find a way to bring Fuyumi back to life.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Fuyumi Yanagi (Iori Nomizu) and Staz Blood (Ryouta Oosaka) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 10 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Brain's Base, so the studio's house style defines how Blood Lad looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.9/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Iori Nomizu voicing Fuyumi Yanagi gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2013, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
