PLOT:
Under the care of her adoptive family, Saya Otonashi has been living the life of an anemic amnesiac, but otherwise ordinary schoolgirl. However, her happy life is shattered when she is attacked by a Chiropteran, learning that she is the only one who can defeat them. Armed with her special katana, Saya embarks on a journey with her family, allies, and her chevalier Haji, to rid the world of the Chiropteran threat and recover her identity. The course of the journey reveals the background history of the Chiropterans and Saya's past, which extends into the mid-19th century.
VIDEO GAME:
Two Sony PlayStation 2 video games have been created that are based on the Blood+ series. Both games are currently only available in Japan and have not been licensed for release in any other countries.
Blood+ - Souyoku no Battle Rondo, from Sony Entertainment, is an adventure game released on July 27, 2006.[21] Set during the year between episodes 32 and 33, after Riku's death, the game alternates between an "Active Demo" section where the player can make decisions that change the story line, and full action sequences where the player, as Saya, fights with her sword to collect chiropteran crystals.
A kinder and gentler looking Saya Otonashi showcases her sword thrusting skills in a new interactive story based on the Blood+ animation series. With a prettier face and a more athletic body than the pudgy Saya of old, the newtype acts like an actual girl and even smiles from time to time. Saya goes to high school and makes friends like other kids but she has a dark side to her life where she's part of an organization known as Red Shield. Protected by a cellist named Hagi who appears in emergencies with sword in hand, Saya is the first line of defense against creatures known as Yokushu or Chiropterans which subsist on human blood.
Blood+ is primarily an interactive novel which depicts key events of the animated series of the same name. In addition to viewing the Blood+ story, players also engage in full-blown action sequences where Saya battles Yokushu. For the story portion however, players watch as Saya (who has no recollection of her previous life as a vampire slayer) slowly begins to realize her position in the world and her affiliation with the Red Shield group. In the first scene, Saya is walking to school when the first memory of Hagi hits where the cellist fed her blood from his hand and gave her impetus to destroy a rampaging Yokushu.
