Blade
Original title: ブレイド
Screenplay
Warren Ellis
Half-human, half-vampire and permanently at war with his own bloodline, Blade tracks his mother's killer across the neon sprawl of Southeast Asia in this stylish anime spinoff of the Marvel vampire hunter. Deacon Frost, the target of his hunt, commands Existence, a shadow organization of vampires with ambitions far bigger than one dead woman's revenge. Produced as part of Marvel's early-2010s anime push, it trades comic-book brightness for something moodier, bloodier and more grounded in genre horror.
