Strike the Blood Complete DVD & Blu-ray TV Series Collection - Perfect for Anime Fans & Collectors

I first saw this on Crunchyroll. I liked it so much I bought the disks. This is a Blu-ray/DVD combination package. It has two Blu-ray discs and 4 DVDs. The audio quality is great. There is no English dub though which is no real surprise as this is a "Crunchyroll edition". This doesn't bother me too much. The subtitles are pretty good but if you want an English voice-over then this isn't for you.Each of the blu-ray disks holds 12 episodes for a total of 24 episodes in all.This is the story of Kojou Akatsuki who was a normal high school student before he became a vampire and the fourth progenitor. The Progenitors are vampire warlords who control large domains and were responsible for the peace treaty between humans and monsters. The problem is that there are only supposed to be three of them. The episodes take place on a manmade island where humans and monsters live together.Of the two disks the first one (episodes 1 - 12) is the best. It has a lot of action and a light-hearted sense of humour as Kojou grows into his powers and gets used to his observer. Such a powerful vampire can't be left un-attended after all and he is followed by Himeragi Yukina who is a sword shaman of the Lion King organisation.The second disk carries on with the adventures of Akatsuki and Himeragi but has a darker tone. The stories in the second disk are darker with less humor. The final two episodes are a bit bland and it seems like they weren't expecting to get the full funding for 24 episodes and when that funding was granted they hadn't written anything.This is overall a light-hearted, harem anime with some good action sequences. There is a bit of fan-service with one very brief moment of female semi-nudity (topless). The characters are generally well rounded and the script is decent enough. The stories move along swiftly and are focused without too many digresions.This could support a third series as there are enough unanswered questions to fill at least another 12 action/fun/funny episodes. Highly recommended.
