Blood: The Last Vampire is a dark, action packed anime movie. If you watch it first, it may leave you wanting more. The reason for that is because it has an anime series that is meant to follow it. I watched this movie after having seen the first season of the series and I don't really think it matters what order you watch it in.
The theme and artwork in this movie are really the highlights. The story is not very complicated, but not very obtrusive. Overall a great vampire movie.

The series that follows this movie is also very good. However, the themes and styles are very different. The anime is much more upbeat and 'shoujo' with vampires flash stepping and showing off their power levels. However, I thought they did a good job keeping the story going at the same time. The first season of Blood+ is much like the first season of Bleach. I hope that doesn't mean that it also follows the same trend Bleach did later on.
Wasn't/isn't Blood + on Adult Swim?
