The anime ran for twelve episodes, and continued with the sequel anime film, Blood-C: The Last Dark the following year, with Fujisaku as a co-writer once again.

In 2017, Fujisaku wrote a novelization of Blood+ anime titled Blood#, which takes place after the series finale, focusing on Diva's grown children, Hibiki and Kanade.[22] That same year, he was in charge of writing the script for the first live-action film adaptation of Blood-C, titled Asura Girl: Blood-C Another Story, acting as a prequel to the series.[23][24]

In 2018, Fujisaku co-wrote the script with director Shutaro Oku on the second live-action film adaptation for Blood-C, titled Blood-Club Dolls 1,[25][26] and its sequel, Blood-Club Dolls 2 in 2020.[27][28][29] Both films take place before the events of The Last Dark anime film.[30]
