If you live in North America, you can watch this series on Crackle ([[http://www.crackle.com/c/blood here]]), Hulu ([[http://www.hulu.com/blood here]]), and Website/YouTube ([[https://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3D38nqabw7I58 here]]).

* BuryYourGays: Subverted in that [[spoiler:Nathan survives 'til the very end, outliving his boss, associates, underlings and several main characters. After Saya ''cuts him in half.'']] He makes a passing statement that implies [[spoiler:that he is not actually Diva's chevalier, but the chevalier of Saya and Diva's ''mother'']]. Saya's blood might not have ever been a threat to him. If this is true, [[spoiler:Nathan would be completely impossible to kill, unless Saya and Diva's aunt (who must have existed since Chiropteran queens are always twins) is still out there somewhere]].
** [[spoiler: He's killed in the manga after he murders Diva due to pent up rage from Diva's indifference over James' death]].

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: In the manga, [[spoiler:since [[SparedByTheAdaptation Riku and George don't die]. In addition, since Diva is [[AdaptationalNiceGuy nicer in the manga]], Diva never rapes and kills Riku, and her dying words are reconciling with Saya, though her daughters don't exist.]]

* InfantImmortality: Horrifically averted when [[spoiler: [[MoralEventHorizon Diva kills Riku after]] ''[[MoralEventHorizon raping]]'' [[MoralEventHorizon him]]]]. Also the Chiropteron children.

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: In the manga, [[spoiler:since [[SparedByTheAdaptation Riku and George don't die]] and Saya doesn't fall back into hibernation, Saya returns to her adoptive family and lives the rest of her days in peace. In addition, since Diva is [[AdaptationalNiceGuy nicer in the manga]], Diva never rapes and kills Riku, and her dying words are reconciling with Saya, though her daughters don't exist.]]

* ActionGirl: Saya, although reluctantly at first. Lulu on the other hand finds fighting fun.
* AdaptationExpansion: Blood+ Adagio and City of Night Walkers. Also the Light Novels to an extent.

** [[spoiler: Collins' entire reason for betraying the Red Shield for Diva's group was because he wanted to make his findings about chiropterans public, which the Red Shield refused to let him do.]]

* AmnesiacDissonance: Saya

* AnAxeToGrind: Lulu
* [[AnimalsHateHim Animals Hate Her]]: Poor Saya

* RevolversAreJustBetter: [[BadassNormal David]]'s WeaponOfChoice
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Diva's first action when Saya let her out was to kill [[spoiler: Joel and his staff]]. Things probably wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't extend it to all of humanity.
** Saya after [[spoiler: Riku's]] death.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Saya and Kaori act more like lovers than friends.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Given by Kai to David after his [[HeroicBSOD BSOD]] as a part of [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan snapping him out of it]]

* TheWoobie: Riku... let's see. When first introduced he's a HappilyAdopted orphan with Saya and Kai [[spoiler:until their father's death]]. The neighborhood girl he was friends with is [[spoiler:miraculously bypassed by the storyline, considering that]] then the first girl he really noticed was Mao [[spoiler:who's then transformed into a pint-sized Chiropteran]], then Liza [[spoiler:(killed and impersonated by Amshel)]]. All of that is just the warm-up for when he spots "Saya" in the Zoo [[spoiler:and Diva drains his blood, forcing Saya to make him a chevalier]]. And then [[spoiler:Diva returns to rape and kill him.]] Even after that [[spoiler:Diva is still carrying his Chiropteran children and wearing his face just to taunt Saya]]. He was about age TEN.

* BookEnds: The first and last episodes have [[spoiler: Saya talking to Julia while getting blood transfusions]] and [[spoiler: Kai and Saya on a motorcycle]]

* AnimeFirst

* BreathWeapon: One of Amshel's powers.

** Also, technically speaking, [[spoiler: Diva's rape of Riku, seeing as he's the adopted brother of her identical twin sister.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Saya gets broken ''twice'' thanks to her amnesia.
** And how about [[spoiler:Riku]]? Sucks to be him.
** Also, Hagi. Through a flashback, [[spoiler: it is shown that the reason he went from being somewhat stoic to made of stone was because his blood turned his OneTrueLove and reason for living into a murdering psychopath who forgot who he was and cut his arm off during her rampage.]]
* BreatherEpisode: The return to Okinawa after Vietnam and the shopping trip in New York.

* BattleCouple: Hagi and Saya. They also share at least one BackToBackBadasses pose.

* ButtMonkey: Riku... let's see. When first introduced he's a HappilyAdopted orphan with Saya and Kai [[spoiler:until their father's death]]. The neighborhood girl he was friends with is [[spoiler:miraculously bypassed by the storyline, considering that]] then the first girl he really noticed was Mao [[spoiler:who's then transformed into a pint-sized Chiropteran]], then Liza [[spoiler:(killed and impersonated by Amshel)]].

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Completely [[spoiler:averted with Diva and Riku]].

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: A gender and age inverted example.]]

* BittersweetEnding: True, Diva is defeated and the Chiropterans are gone save for Saya and her nieces, who will receive a healthy and loving human upbringing courtesy of Kai rather than being brought up to be monsters like Diva was. Saya can finally live her life without fighting and killing, and [[spoiler:it's implied that Hagi also survived the bombing of the Met and will rejoin her]]. Unfortunately, she'll have to go through thirty years of hibernation first, and will miss out on a lot of the lives of her family and friends in the process.

* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Karman has blocked a bullet from David in a fight.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Two American politicians are based on Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice; also note the hidden references to the Rothschild family in the names of the Chevalier. And "David" looks [[http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pureanimegallery.com/d/1508-2/david-from-blood-plus.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.pureanimegallery.com/v/bloodplus/david/david-2.jpg.html&usg=__6-Gr3AOmdy6-AYUQESoycNUAtvg=&h=150&w=200&sz=8&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=QH0MgfaQTon15M:&tbnh=78&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3DBlood%2BPlus%2BDavid%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN just a bit familiar]], especially to fans of [[DavidBowie another David]].

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: [[spoiler: If Joel I had treated Saya and Diva the same, instead of pampering one and letting the other be locked away to be experimented on, the entire plot wouldn't have happened.]]
