Blood+: Volume Two

Be warned
The show is great but the packaging is very deceptive. Both Blood+ Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 are disks 2 and 3 of the Blood+ Vol 1 collection. If you already have the 5 disk Blood+ Vol. 1 collection then you have these. There evidently are another 25 shows somewhere but these 2 disks aren't them, not sure where they are.

So don't get duped like I did and spend almost $50 buying Vol Two and Three only to find out you already own them. I am unhappy with Amazon for not including an episode list with this item to prevent this from happening. So I will post this, write the $50 off as experience that you can get ripped off at Amazon like you can any other web retailer.

In fact, the episodes on "Blood+: Volume 2" are where the story really takes off, wrenching Saya's family away from their comfortable lives, and into the middle of a dangerous conflict. There's tragedy, family togetherness, a little humor, and buckets of gore -- as well as the first glimpses of the series' antagonists.

David, Haji and Saya infiltrate a nature preserve with a secret underground facility -- and not only do they find a longtime military conspiracy, but loads of Chriopterans. Meanwhile, Julia finds out that the US military is planning to bomb the preserve -- because of the presence of chiropterans. Even worse, there's no way to alert the people inside the preserve.

Unfortunately, George has problems behind that -- he's been injected with something called Delta-67, a mysterious substance that the US military is using...
