Blood+ Had Multiple English Releases From Episode One
Live-eviL · Shinsen-Subs · Bakakozou
AnimeSuki's early Blood+ page shows the release field forming immediately. Live-eviL has episode 1 dated October 11, 2005, Shinsen-Subs follows on October 14 and Bakakozou on October 15. All three continue into the opening episodes, while Anime-Kraze circulates promos, trailers and its own episode 1. Blood+ was being followed as a current-airing series from its first week, not rediscovered later as a finished catalog title.
Shinsen-Subs Left a Direct Blood+ Release Manifest
Episodes 01–45 · Dates, CRCs and a Separate DVD Release
Shinsen-Subs' own archived Blood+ project page gives us something much better than a later group list. The August 31, 2006 capture directly records Blood+ releases 01 through 45 with release dates and CRC32 values. It also lists a separate DVD release of episode 01 dated January 23, 2006.
AnimeSuki independently places Shinsen in the Blood+ release field from episode 1, while the period mirror Anime-Treasures preserves later [Shinsen-Subs] filenames whose CRCs match the group's own page.
Why it matters
This is a primary-source production trail, not just evidence that somebody remembered Shinsen working on the show. Episode numbers, release dates, filenames and checksums can be matched across the originating group site and an independent period distributor.
The surviving own-site capture reaches episode 45. The database may preserve later completion evidence from other sources, but 45 is the hard endpoint directly visible on this specific primary source.
Bakakozou's Own Blood+ Page Tracks the Weekly Work
Promo + Episodes 1–11 Directly · Tagged Files Through 33 on Anime-Treasures
Bakakozou's own archived Blood+ project page, captured February 7, 2006, marks the series In progress and directly lists the promo/trailer plus episodes 1 through 11. Each row preserves the tagged filename, CRC, Japanese air date, Bakakozou release date and torrent link. That makes the page a genuine production manifest rather than a later list of remembered credits.
A period direct-download site, Anime-Treasures, later preserves [Bakakozou] Blood+ filenames continuously through episode 33. That second source proves those tagged releases were circulating, but it is still a mirror rather than Bakakozou's own declared endpoint.
Why it matters
The two sources together show the difference between primary production evidence and independent circulation evidence, and they document another substantial Blood+ release line alongside Shinsen-Subs and Your-Mom.
Static-Subs & Secondary IRC Speedsub Alternatives
IRC XDCC Distribution · Alternative Bitrate Encodes
Alongside Shinsen-Subs, Static-Subs reportedly provided weekly speedsub alternatives and lower-bitrate AVI encodes for fans on slower connections.
[UNCONFIRMED]: This group and its release history are not independently verified here.
Your-Mom's Own Blog Preserves the Parallel Blood+ Run
Blood+ 40, 43, 44 and 45 Visible in the August 2006 Archive
Your-Mom Fansubs is one of those group names that sounds like scene folklore until the original site turns up. The archived Blogspot is the group's own release/news page. A post dated August 22, 2006 announces Blood+ episode 45 and provides a torrent link; the same capture's recent-post trail also preserves Blood+ 40, 43 and 44.
Other material on the blog discusses the AVI/MKV playback and container problems viewers were dealing with at the time, exactly the kind of technical friction that defined the mid-2000s transition away from the old AVI workflow.
Why it matters
Your-Mom is now a P1 Blood+ project, not merely a name inherited from AnimeSuki or AniDB. The direct page proves an active release line through at least episode 45 while Shinsen-Subs was covering the same series.
THORA's Later Archival Restoration
Blu-ray Disc Master Rips · High-Bitrate x264 Preservation
Years after the original broadcast, THORA produced archival-quality 1080p batch encodes sourced from Japanese Blu-ray releases, the same group already documented elsewhere on this site for definitive high-definition restorations of classic-era shows.
