After finishing the series Trinity Blood (On my recent Vampire Anime Hunt) I can say but one thing on the matter.Sign Me Up For the Vatican!! The Bacic story consists around a Post-Apocolyptic struggle between two similar races, Methusalah (Unsure of Spelling), a race of Alien vampires. And Terrans, our very own traditional Human race.The anime basically revolves around Abel Nightroad, An ancient Vatican Priest, en fused with alien technology, making him a hideous Being. Abel is not a run-of-the mill Vatican priest however, he belongs to an Inside organisation of "Gods Gun Weilders", as I like to call them. Otherwise known as the AX.However, as not to go on too much story wise (I do get carried away), I must give this Anime a simple summary of Rating..Visuals: 9/10 - This IS how a Modern Anime should look. Nothing Cheap Here. Sound: 7/10 - Amazing Ending and Opening tunes, yet alone sound effects. But often Background Music covers the Amazing Dubbing. Story - 10/10- Not Too Unique, But with the details, who cares!?

Trinity Blood does not only have interesting characters and a twisted and spectacular plot, but it is probably one of my favorite anime shows ever. The only thing that I dislike is that the series was rather short and the ending unsatisfying, but despite this it is worth watching.Of course the show is confusing, and you have to pay close attention, but it helps if you read the manga and novels.The show is not just about vampires and religion, though the story line has a great supply of it, but it's also about revenge, angst, and coexistence, with action I assure you. I applaud this great work, and I wish I had thought of it myself.So if your looking for an anime with vampire and gun action, look no further!

I'm sorry to say this but, for me, Trinity Blood was a disappointment. It could've been so much better.* The art is quite good (really good sometimes). I wish they had gone for a darker style, though, there were too many huge-eyed girls and sunny scenarios (with birds singing and all) for my liking. On the bright side, you have to love the main Crusnik's design, and Gunslinger and the Sword Dancer look really good too.* The characters... Well, this is one of the downsides of the series. Abel, the main character, was really annoying most of the time. The heroine was the stereotypical big-eyed, cute and good-hearted, not-particularly-interesting-or-intelligent anime heroine. The pope invariably made me want to get into the TV and slap the "whiny-ness" out of him. Ion was the typical character who acts without thinking all the time and, although they try to present it as "noble", I just found it stupid. There were some potentially interesting characters, though, but, of course, they weren't developed further than the first short introduction. *sigh*.* The direction was poor, at least in my opinion: they alternated fast (and quite well directed, yes, I have to give them that) action scenes with slow-paced, serene scenes --without any kind of transition, sometimes--, which kept me wondering about the director's sense of rhythm instead of letting me enjoy the series. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against slow-paced scenes. But you have to know how to use them, and how to fit them into the episode.* The story was promising (not particularly original, but it had potential). But in my opinion 24 episodes are too few for the complexity they seemed to be aiming for, and in the end you're left wondering why did they include this and that character or storyline if they didn't plan to develop them at all. The ending made me feel frustrated. In case you don't know, the original writer died before he could finish the story, and it shows. The series keeps building up to something and when it ends... well, it doesn't live up to what you expected.And just another point: I've heard people describe this series as "dark", and I keep wondering why. If you're looking for a dark series, I wouldn't recommend this one at all. You've been warned.OK, after re-reading this it makes me wonder why I even gave it a 5 out of 10. OK... the series isn't *awful*. I guess you can enjoy it on some level. But it certainly didn't work for me. I kept watching it expecting it would get better, but it actually ended up worse.Hope it helped.

Trinity Blood is the next best thing in Anime. We start with our hero Father Abel Nightrode. A part of a special forces lead by Cardinal Catherina known as "Ax". Father Nightrode is a special type of being himself. His past is shrouded in mystery. He wants peace between humans and vampires but other Vampires are not so kind. The animation is terrific. Stylish and beautiful. The voice acting is also great. Character development shows itself later on and we begin to gain more interest into the them. The story is very interesting. One of the characters is also an android. With precise aiming and accuracy, it is a force to be reckoned with, and cool too. Also lookout for a really cool assassin named Sword Dancer. A fitting title indeed.The Last Word: Awesome. A mix of action, drama, and intrigue. Trinty Blood is overall a fun show. Recommended.
