  • A great action adventure anime and a personal favourite of mine.

    9.0

    The show is set in a world where vampires have existed in secret for generations. However a new group of vampires known as Kowloon Children emerged and threatened to destroy humanity. As such humans and vampires teamed up to defeat them and in the aftermath established a city where the two groups could live together in peace. Now, many years later the Kowloon Children have returned to threaten the city.



    The hero of the show is Jirou a veteran of the original war with the Kowloon Children, a Vampire who is known as the Silver Blade and who is once again called upon to save humanity.



    The plot is what you would expect but it is done very well and has some great fight sequences. The animation is also very good and the overall tone of the show is beautifully formed.



    This is a personal favourite of mine and no matter how many times i see it I am always impressed.moreless

    i found that this series was very enjoyable but there was on major flaw....the ending. it was great and i had high expectations for the series but the last episode was so abruptly and left a huge cliff hanger that i really cant see the the series end like this. So if the producer ever wanted to continue the series i would be happy to see that. All and all this show was very good and i could totally see it going some where if the producer ever decides to start it up again so i hope they do. latermoreless

  • This show is basically about Jirou and his younger brother Kotarou trying to live in the Special Zone. Unfortunatly it seems that not a lot of people want them staying there, due to the fact that Jirou is the Silver Blade. A Vampire hero from Hong Kong.moreless

    I've only recently started to watch the show but so far I love it. I love the characters especially Jirou and Zelman^^ The show has alot of action, so thats good but its also very funny at times and has a little romance. Also I just love it cuz it involves VAMPIRES. (vampire fan)And another plus is that Jirou is voiced by the guy who does Kanda's voice in D.Grayman so I'm happy, *fan girl sigh*. One of the problems I have with the show is that its short only like 12 episodes, that sucks!!! But what ever the show is still really good so I encourage everyone to watch it.moreless

    During a War called the Hong Kong Crusade, an Old Blood vampire, Jirou Mochizuki, aka the Silver Blade (Gintou), fought and defeated most of the Kowloon Children. Ten years later, Jirou heads to Japan with his little brother, Kotarou, in hopes of reaching The Special Zone, a thriving secret city where vampires live. They soon realize that a plan to infiltrate The Special Zone is being hatched by the Kowloon Children survivors. As they travel to The Special Zone, Jirou encounters enemies from the past and new threats that may endanger the safety of the Special Zone. The abduction of Kotarou, by one of the Kowloon Children, thrusts him even further into the battle.



    Kowloon Shock



    In 1997, a vampire who would later be known as the Kowloon King emerged in Hong Kong and began spreading his lineage to others. The Kowloon Children, as his bloodline came to be known, differed from other bloodlines in that all humans bitten by a Kowloon Child would become Kowloon Children themselves, even without a kiss or other infusion of that bloodline's blood. Any existing vampire also bitten by a Kowloon Child would become one of the Kowloon Children. The ensuing chaos made the existence of vampires, which until then had been living in secret, known to the entire world. The conflict culminated in the Hong Kong Crusade, a final battle in which humans and vampires worked together to exterminate the Kowloon Children. After the crusade, the Special Zone, a city for vampires to live, was established on the sea outside of Yokohama, Japan. After the war, it was announced that all vampires had been killed, and most humans were kept ignorant of the existence of the Special Zone. Jirou Mochizuki, who became known as the Silver Blade, is a hero of the Crusade who defeated the Kowloon King, although he lost his lover and was betrayed by a close friend in the process.moreless
