Yahoo! Japan's Movies website began streaming the first eight minutes from the Blood-C: The Last Dark film on Tuesday.
Manga creator team CLAMP developed the story and original character designs for the earlier Blood-C television series and this upcoming film.
Production I.G has been animating both projects, but Naoyoshi Shiotani (Tokyo Marble Chocolate, key animator on Blood+ and Blood-C) is directing the film instead of the television version's director Tsutomu Mizushima. Writers Junichi Fujisaku (who also wrote the novelization of the film that Kadokawa Shoten will publish on Saturday as well – CLAMP illustrated the novel's cover) and Nanase Okawa (CLAMP), animation character designer/chief animation director Kazuchika Kise, and voice cast members Nana Mizuki as Saya Kisaragi (she is also one of Japanese famous singers) and Kenji Nojima as Fumito Nanahara are all returning from the television series.
Plot summary:
“Tokyo, Winter. Despite the use of the Youth Ordinance Bill to enforce curfews for minors and regulate the use of the Internet, young people continue to fight for their own freedom through underground methods. One such group calls themselves Surat. They have decided to take on Fumito Nanahara, a man who has great influence on the political world, and basically controls Tokyo with an iron fist. While using the Internet as a weapon to discover more information about Fumito, they learn about ‘Tower', the secret organization behind Fumito which engages in human experimentation. When members of Surat attempt to set up an ambush in the subway to expose the truth behind ‘Tower', mysterious creatures suddenly appear and attack the passengers. During this crisis, Saya appears – a young girl who uses a Japanese blade to slay the Old Ones. The same Saya who lost everything dear to her in that horrifying incident in Ukishima Province. What sort of ‘experiment' are Fumito and ‘Tower' trying to conduct using the Old Ones? And can Saya finally deliver vengeance to Fumito? Now, the final battle begins…”
