Under the care of her adoptive family, Saya Otonashi has been living the life of an anemic and amnesiac, but otherwise ordinary schoolgirl. Saya’s happy life is shattered when she is attacked by a chiropteran, and learns that she is the only one who can defeat them. (Chiroptera is the name of the order of biological classification that bats are in. This is the most likely reason for the vampiric creatures being called "Chiropterans"). Armed with her sword, Saya embarks on a journey with her family, allies and faithful servant, Haji, to rid the world of Chiropterans and rediscover her identity.

The series is initially set in present day (September 2005) Okinawa City (Koza), on Okinawa Island, near the US Kadena Air Base. In the course of the series, Saya visits locales across the world, while fighting enemy chiropterans and searching for her origins.

The anime consists of 50 episodes.

There is a PS2 game called Blood: The Last Vampire with two volumes based on the Blood: The Last Vampire film. It contained over two hours of animation that was produced by Production I.G. In the game the player is given the choice of how they wish the story/plot is to be developed and the gameplay leads to 42 possible endings. A PSP version of this game has been made and it contains both parts of the PS2 game on one UMD. The PSP version contains a strategy flow chart, a CG gallery and specially edited movies.
