Blood-C
Anime Like Promised Neverland
On the surface, Saya’s life is one of peace and tranquility, with a slight twist.
While she spends her days hanging out with her friends and enjoying a typical high school life, her nights are spent battling ancient evils that are drawn to the town. Fortunately, she carries within her the blood of revered shrine maidens, allowing her to do battle with these beasts via a special sword handed down through her family.
For this reason, she shoulders the burden of this responsibility without complaint; or at least, she does until she realizes things aren’t as they seem with her village, her family or even herself.
Though it can be a bit of a slow burn, Blood-C is a mystery worth unraveling. Each revelation offers just enough bread crumbs to make viewers want to keep watching, and its biggest twists send the story into overdrive in all the best ways.
Funimation has both the initial series and its sequel film available for streaming too, meaning one can dig into the entire story without delay.
