What does the animated film “Blood Resistance” talk about? What is remarkable about this television project? What allowed the series to win the hearts of thousands of anime fans around the world? About all this - further in the material.
The idea of creating a series
The plot of the series "Blood Resistance" is based on the novel of the famous Japanese writer Gakuto Mikumo. Since 2011, individual episodes of the story have been regularly published in the popular magazine Dangeki Bunko. The idea of adapting the novel in the format of a television animation series arose in 2012. The famous illustrator and creator of the anime Manyako took up its implementation. The first episodes of the project appeared on the screens in 2014.
Until recently, the box office had only one season of the series, which consisted of 24 episodes. New series began to be released relatively recently, despite the assurances of the authors of the project that the “Blood Resistance” (season 2) will appear in 2015.
What is the story about?
The events of the animated series “Resistance of Blood” (season 1) unfold in a fantasy universe where mystical creatures and people are forced to coexist in one world. Humanity concludes a non-aggression pact with demons. The side of fantastic creatures is represented by the princes of ancient vampires. However, only a few inhabitants of this universe are aware of the existence of the highest, most powerful demon. The latter decides to transfer his supernatural abilities to an ordinary student named Kojou Akatsuki. Despite the fact that the guy leads an unremarkable life, in the eyes of people he becomes potentially dangerous. Those around him begin to realize what threat the boy poses to the continued existence of mankind.
The main action of the series takes place in the city of Itogi, in which demons and people live side by side. The local inhabitants intend to solve the potential problem by surrounding Kojo with beautiful girls who possess outstanding combat skills. The patroness and protector of the protagonist becomes his teacher named Natsuki. The latter is an unsurpassed battle mage. In addition, a schoolgirl Yukina, expertly wielding a magic spear, is assigned to the boy. How will the newly minted high vampire behave, surrounded by a guard of pretty girls?
While the main character feels absolutely safe, insidious demons appear that have awakened, having felt the revival of an ancient, powerful force. The latter are trying to lure the boy to their side with all kinds of temptations, forcing him to commit crimes that plunge the world into chaos. The protagonists of the film clash with the secret organization of otherworldly creatures and try to prevent the destruction of the fragile world between vampires and people.
About the protagonist
As already noted above, the central character of the series “Blood Resistance” is a student of Koju Akatsuki. The guy just seems like an ordinary teenager. In fact, in its essence lies the abilities of a powerful demon, about which others know only from ancient legends.
The protagonist is by nature a vulnerable person. He is not able to take control of the supernatural powers bestowed upon him, since he became a demon for reasons unknown to himself. At the same time, Kojo is potentially such a formidable vampire that, if desired, he can easily deal with a whole crowd of enemies. However, if this happens, the fragile peace between mystical creatures and people will collapse, which has been supported by common efforts for centuries.
Natsuki Minamia
Natsuki is a Koju school teacher and an experienced wizard known as the Witch of the Void . She is one of the few who know about the essence of the boy’s supernatural abilities. The heroine is incredibly strong. Despite this, she tries to act as an observer and once again not interfere in the development of events.
Yukina Himeragi
Yukina is one of the main characters in the series, along with Kojou Akatsuki. The girl is a member of the secret service "Royal Lions", which was created in order to protect the human race from demons. Yukin is sent to look after the boy and protect him from rash acts. Initially, the guy she described as an insidious, indifferent to the suffering of a monster. However, soon the heroine becomes convinced that her ward absolutely does not meet this characteristic. In order to protect Kojo, she settles in a neighboring apartment. Soon, a romantic attraction is established between the characters.
Blood Resistance Season 2 Release Date
At the end of the first season of the series, its creators began to assure that the release of the continuation of the story will take place no later than 2015. The exact date was not called. However, it soon became clear that the premiere of new episodes of the multi-part animated film was postponed indefinitely. At the same time, the closure of the project was not officially announced.
At the end of 2016, the authors of the series decided to resume the animation adaptation of the popular novel “Blood Resistance”. The reason was the dissatisfaction of numerous fans of the project, as well as the desire to maintain the highest television ratings. Despite this, fans of science fiction have quite a few reasons to rejoice. At the moment, only a few episodes of the second season have been released. To find new series, fans of the series have the opportunity on popular file hosting services on the Internet.
