I enjoyed the killings too, but the ep. 8+9 monster was just TOO disgusting. I was thankful for the censoring.

You have the recurrent themes in CLAMP-universe like:
- absent mother
- what is real what is a dream
- getting stopped JUST before you're about to find out
- mysterious woman with creepy interest in younger female lead
- SLOOOOOOW pacing

Anyone who watches Blood C expecting Blood+ and not knowing/liking anything from CLAMP is majorly disappointed, as I understand from the comments in various boards.

I'm hanging in there, just to see to what extend I was right with my predictions, based solely on extended knowledge of everything CLAMP ever produced.
Oh and for Watanuki of course ( you know what I mean)

Even myself being a CLAMP fan am very disappointed, and I'm really sad that the "CLAMP" factor of this collaboration is not making people interested in it. They brought up this cuteness which really doesn't suit "BLOOD". It should have been dark all along =_=

It should have been dark all along =_=
I think it was to take people by surprise. And if it hadn't been for those carefree days episodes in the beginning, nobody would have cared for the whole class to be butchered. But it did seem odd for Tokizane to be introduced as the mysterious bishonen and then be slaughtered off like nothing mattered. Nene and Nono had a lot more focus.

Sad but understandable =(

uhhhh

Yeah didn't enoy the killings. Do you know how censor pissded me off. Not to mention all the character as completley stupid. I only watch it now because of the art. Nothing else matters. Oh and WHY WAS SHE SINGING AGAIN!!! ALL UR FRIENDS ARE DEAD!!! EXCEPT THE PRESIDENT. (wait why isn't he dead) Clamp please make another anime pretty please

Maybe everyone's in on it plus the government, or everyone's an Elder Bairn, or it's a fake world she came up with, and the coffee's drugged, the food has blood, or her dad's a vampire and she's a clone or a twin and someone's going to lose an eye... I hope for something good the last two episodes, but over all I struggle with the slow pacing and the unreal characters. Even if the last two episodes are mindblowing, I don't know if I'd be able to watch the previous few episodes again due to the pacing (and re-watchability factor is important for my viewing experience).

They may have "done it on purpose" as the commenter above states, but just because it's on purpose doesn't help that it's become boring to watch.

Randomly, I was a little interested when Saya started to ask Tokizane those questions about why does he like her and how long has he known her - it seemed like she was waking up, and his creep factor went up.

I'm with you on this in that, if it weren't CLAMP, I would've dropped this series since episode three. Though as you say, all the butchering in ep 8 and 9 was kind of entertaining, for me it was also immensely frustrating. I mean, is everyone in this town completely stupid? They obviously lack survival instinct if all of them just decide to watch in horror and wait for the monster to come and kill them or run towards the monster or even better, hide in the roof where they can be easily cornered instead of running away. The story is quite sloppy and the pace is awfully slow, even their steps when they walk are super slow.
