Blood Lad - Only 10 episodes, seen two so far


My main reason for watching this series is because of its short episode count  at a mere 10 episodes. A really odd number for a TV show, which has me quite wary of the fact that this Anime may possibly have no resolution at all! That would be terrible.  This number count would be more normal for an OVA series released over several Months. Makes me really wonder if this show didn't get good ratings in Japan or something...


I kind of like the male Protagonist Staz.  He's a vampire or some other type of blood sucking demon as he doesn't really catch fire or glow when exposed to Sunlight. His quirk is that he's a bit of a Anime/Gaming Fanboy. In episode two there's actually a part where Dragon Quest / Dragon Warrior 1 gets referenced.

===Thoughts on what I've seen so far===
Episode 1 was the  Girl meets Boy kind of episode except the Girl gets turned into a half-Ghost/Spirit. Reminded me quite a bit of Rosario + Vampire just with the Genders flipped around.

Episode 2 Introduces Magic/ Magical Items to the show along with another female character. We jump from the Demon world to the Human world.  Staz is kind of strong despite his weakly looking character design/appearance.


Only 8 episodes left to see... Will the girl get brought back to life again?
