Asura Girl: Blood-C Another Story (Japanese: 阿修羅少女〜BLOOD-C異聞〜, Hepburn: Ashura Shojō: Buraddo-Shī Ibun)[a] is a 2017 Japanese action horror film directed by Shutaro Oku and written by Junichi Fujisaku based on the 2011 anime television series Blood-C, co-created by studio Production I.G and manga artist group CLAMP. Distributed by NEGA, Asura Girl is set in the pre-World War II era before the events of Blood-C; in the universe Blood-C, humanity is secretly preyed upon by a race called the Elder Bairns,[b] whose feeding is kept under control by an ancient agreement called Shrovetide. Asura Girl follows the backstory for Ran (who was introduced in 2015's Blood-C: The Last Mind stage play), and a bloody conflict between a small village and Special Political Police force.[3] The film stars Kaede Aono as Ran, with Kanon Miyahara as Saya Kisaragi, alongside Ryūnosuke Matsumura, Arata Furuta and Eiji Takigawa.[4] Asura Girl was released in Japan on August 26, 2017.
The film marks the first live-action film adaptation for Blood-C series, and the second live-action film adaptation for the Blood franchise, following Blood: The Last Vampire (2009).[5]
