A vampire-anime that'll make you hate humans

Okay, finally after a while I decided to watch this show...and Oh my god...its not what I expected. Even though it already ended, I don't want to say what happens. But honestly it makes you think on who's the real monsters, vampires or humans? This show deals with the feud between the two races and how they're unable to peacefully coincide with each other, which leads to a bloody all out massacre for both sides. At first it seems like the vampires are the evil ones, stealing people to use as food and turn them into a vampire themselves. But all they wanted to do was not be lonely or persecuted. The humans on the other hand of course don't want to be eaten, and are furious that their loved ones are being killed or "Risen" in this case. But as the series goes on, you'll notice how their hatred towards vampires quickly turns into pure Prejudice and superstition.
Pros:
You'll actually feel sorry for the vampires, this is SO EMOTIONAL! You will be emotionally tested while watching this.
Pretty good character animation
The dialogue and character development are both great
They actually have werewolves in here that basically are the boss's among the vampires.
Cons:
Their hair-style....is really weird, even weirder than Yugioh.
It starts off really slow. The vampires don't really appear until ep 9 or 10, so basically the first 8 it just seems like a medical anime when they try to decide how the people are dying.
Note: It isn't gory but it does get pretty graphic and bloody. Though I recommend the Blu Ray version if you can find it so that the blood isn't edited out. There are scenes that'll make you cringe in your chair and cry along with the vampires as they're put through this ordeal of complete genocide.
