The very brief Araki interviews at the back are a lot of fun, I just wish it were more than one page a book.

Part 1 I think is a lot of fun
 It's certainly simpler than others and not as bizarre, But I have fun reading it.

Full Review of Phantom Blood

Be sure to look into the Content Warnings before reading if you need them.

I think that Phantom Blood works better animated. Sure the Manga came first but it does fit the Anime format much more. To give some credit though the art is amazing, it is absolutely worth the time just to see all of the art. One thing that bothered the absolute hell out of me is how they kept switching between Vampire and Zombie. Dio clearly is a Vampire and Vampires make more Vampires… I dunno if that was all intentional but it bothers the heck out of me. Just call them Vampires, don’t switch between the two! 🫠

Also note: The story is set in Victorian England so expect some racial stereotyping particularly in volume one.
