Black Blood Brothers: Episode 04

Power. Immortality. Sensuality. Seduction. Vampire.

Black Blood Brothers lures unsuspecting audiences into a web of folklore, modern myth, and primetime TV. It imparts the undead’s, arguably, most enviable facet. Raw sensuality. The forbidden act of tasting from another flesh conjures images of power and seduction. The sinful pleasure of one bite arouses sensibilities. In this episode’s case, a virgin’s sensibilities.

A Kowloon child seizes his opportunity to play his king of spades. Alas, Jirou a.k.a. Silver Blade dude, holds on to his aces. He sets out to end the match but not before partaking in an erotic halftime. Be still my heart.

The rest of the preliminary arc can be forgotten yet the introductory act between Jirou and Mimiko cannot be ignored. Long after the season ends, the memories of a relatively chaste bite will linger in this blogger’s mind. The feeding is an intimate moment between the hunter and his prey. In BBB, Jirou’s role does not stop in taking blood from Mimiko. He gives as much as he takes. He relinquishes scattered thoughts and hidden anguish tucked in his innermost sanctum, albeit temporarily.

Will this blogger be sucked into a whirl of BBB madness? Possibly. Can I imagine a potential obsession in my hands? Most likely. Will I be seduced by the Sakurai Takahiro’s Jirou? Oh, lordy. Sakurai can seduce me any time he wants. Jirou has to wait in line.

I apologize for the excessive drooling, dear readers. Vampires and Sakurai are a lethal combination for a rainy day. It makes me sappy and romantic. Yes, I thought that Jirou and Mimiko scene was quite sensuous and romantic. How do you define romance, anyway? Hee.

Beware of Spoilers. You have been warned.

Aaahh..a vampire’s sensuality, finally ^_- after 50 weeks deprived from any single trace of vampires’ immense prowess put into use (read:BLOOD+) BBB finally uncovers it and initially I was shocked though there was a foreshadowing in the eps before but boy, was I hit with this one-I bet if Mimiko had been ‘necked’, it will not unfold and affect so much as this one..oh, and your drooling is forgiven (so as mine) ^0^

I’ve always love the metaphor surrounding vampires and the seduction of the innocents. It is barely utilized in the anime genre. It seems that it always focused on power and immoratlity while living out its most appealing selling point. Then again, that’s just me. XD

I haven’t even watched BBB yet and I’m already drooling, too… ^^; ITA on Sakurai–hope he does his “surly” rendition for Jirou.

Oh, you wicked, wicked woman. ;p I’m a Sakurai fangirl myself and I understand the sentiment. =D B3 is turning out pretty decent, btw.

The one who made me into Sakurai Fangirl was Susumu from Peace Maker Kurogane at first. His voice acting is getting awesome nowadays.
,,,and YES this series is worth drooling. ^O^

Oh, yes. *grins* I’ve frequently mentioned this on forums and the like, but Takahiro Sakurai should be a DJ. A -late night- DJ. He would rake in the ratings, although I suspect the listeners would comprise mostly of girls sighing over the smooth, rich quality of his voice.

Then again, if he ever became a DJ, we would lose one of the most talented seiyuus in the anime world. ;~; And it must not be so!

I’d just like to note… He looks so, um, fulfilled after feeding on her blood. *blushes and squirms*
