Fans of Production I.G's 2005 vampire action series Blood+ will soon get to experience a new narrative within the franchise. This upcoming series will explore an alternate reality for Saya Otonashi, the amnesiac protagonist who battled chiropterans.
While details are still emerging, this new entry appears to be a side story or alternate universe take, rather than a direct continuation of the original 50-episode anime. The original Blood+ followed Saya's journey to reclaim her memories and defeat the winged beasts threatening humanity, often with the help of the enigmatic Haji. The series, adapted from a manga of the same name, garnered a MAL score of 7.61 and is known for its blend of supernatural horror and intense action.
This expansion offers a fresh perspective on the established world and characters, allowing for new explorations of Saya's unique existence and the supernatural threats she faces, separate from the established continuity.
