Congrats on finishing not just Blade, but also the Heisei era in general!

IIRC you once mentioned reading Die's' thread alongside your watch, so you probably already know my general thoughts about the show.

So, I'll try to make my general thoughts short. To me, Blade was a much better version of Faiz, in terms of the experience. Especially since I watched Blade almost directly after I'd finished Faiz up.

What I mean is, with Faiz, I loved the first two acts, but couldn't stand the third. The same applies to Blade. But what differentiated the two for me, and made me appreciate Blade alot more, was that absolutely perfect ending that Blade has. "Bench" is a long standing Blade meme for a reason, ya know?

I'm like the one guy who preferred the first half to the second. The first half kept me really interested all throughout. I was constantly wondering just where the heck this crazy train was going. Meanwhile, when the second half hit, and the show got more "normal"... it just lost alot of appeal for me. Add to that me not jiving with the way Mutsuki and Tachibana were handled and I was not happy.

Still, I'm glad you found a good amount of enjoyment out of it, judging by where you placed it on your list.
