Special screening at Jump Special Anime Festa 2014

Jump Special Anime Festa 2014 is an event that provides fans with the latest information and special footage of anime based on popular manga from Shueisha. The special screening of "Blood Blockade Battlefront" at this event was a great delight for fans, and was an important opportunity to build anticipation for the work. Although it was only 30 minutes long, it condensed the appeal of the original work and the quality of the anime, attracting many spectators.

Story and Characters

The story of "Blood Blockade Battlefront" revolves around the adventures of the protagonist Leonardo Watch, who suddenly appears in the otherworldly world of Hellsalem's Lot. Leonardo has the power of the "Evil Eye" and is a member of an organization called Libra, where he fights demons and monsters. The members of Libra are all unique and have different abilities. For example, Chain is a vampire, and Claudia is the leader of Libra, bringing the team together. The exploits of these characters add excitement to the story.

Animation quality

Bones' animation has succeeded in faithfully recreating the visuals of the original work while also creating a unique presentation. The movements and use of color in the battle scenes in particular are visually very impactful and have the power to draw the audience in. Additionally, the music and sound effects are also important elements that enhance the atmosphere of the work, giving the film an overall high quality feel.

Special screening review

The special edition of "Blood Blockade Battlefront" screened at Jump Special Anime Festa 2014 was a short 30-minute film, but it managed to fully convey the appeal of the original work. In particular, the scene in which Leonardo's "Evil Eye" power is activated for the first time and the scene in which the members of Libra gather for the first time left a strong impression on the audience. Director Rie Matsumoto's direction was also exquisite, and the film will appeal to not only fans of the original work, but all anime fans.
