Do you have to watch the main/parent story to be able to watch the side story?

Basically I want to watch Blood C without having to watch Blood +, but would that mean i wouldn't be able to understand the story/plot of the anime as a whole.

I don't think so. For example, I started watching Fate/Zero with absolutely no knowledge about the Fate universe. And right now, I'm watching Lupin III: Mine Fujiko to iu Onna without ever seeing any of the other Lupin III series. I think as long as they are spin-offs and not direct sequels it's fine.

You don't have to do anything in this life but die. Watching the main story before side stories/direct sequels is always more help than coming in with no attachment to the characters.
In the case of Blood-C, it is not a side story or sequel to Blood+. The only similarity is having a chick named Saya kill stuff with a sword.

The question is can you tell the difference between a remake vs a sequel.

No, but I'd suggest not watching Blood-C at all because it's shit.

so true, actually go watch Blood+ if your going to bother watching Blood-C
at least Blood+ has a good story
Blood-C is just a girl with huge tits bouncing around with a sword....

Maybe it's CLAMP's style but the tits did not look huge to me. Her breasts were just there,...nothing special other than just showing that she is a she. I didn't see bouncing either...

Watch Blood+ and skip Blood C.

Its more like an alternate setting for now but we'll see when the movie comes out if its connected in some way.
