I thought it was interesting that its about a jolly young priest who is actually a vampire and works for Cardinal Catherina. Yknow this kind of anime does have sorta the same concept as 'Hellsing'. The character Alucard is a vampire prince who works for Hellsing who is also considered a girl. Seriously I really like how some anime replace male dominated roles to women because it just works so well. I wish there was at least some equality in real life! Although I do wish Catherina was the pope tbh, the pope was really a rather clueless teenager that'll make you irritated by him lol! Sister Ester was not bad of a character like she did the good of the world by being a sister and not realising that she was born in royalty. I have to say in the last episode when she finally became queen, she was so kawaii! Honestly I wish someone in this world was like her and not care about their status lolThis is a pretty good anime, it's grand that its different but I wouldn't be over the top about it as much Hellsing did for me. I'll let you be the judge of that and honestly I definitely would recommend anyone who likes vampires to watch this!

I've honestly been a fan of this series since it first aired on Adult Swim way back in the day. The first episode I ever caught was episode 5 "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" and trust me...I've never looked back. If you still haven't seen this series and you're reading this review then please...stop reading. Just stop. Leave this page, go watch the series on YouTube (Funimation has all 24 episodes free to watch) and when you've finished all of the episodes, then you can come back and tell the world the same thing that I just told you. Please don't look anything else up, just experience the magic as it unfolds.

This is an excellent anime action/horror series set in the apocalyptic future. The series is also great for the October month (close to Halloween), or any month.Like I said before, I have an interest in ghosts, werewolves and vampires - the key theme for the show. And you know, to me both Father Havel looks like Viggo Mortensen's Aragorn, and Father Leon looks like Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing. In the series, I was surprise the Vatican had survived for over 900 years. When I saw that the Lady Caterina is a cardinal and Esther's (the heroine) mother-figure Laura Vitez is a bishop, I thought: "can a woman be a cardinal or a bishop?" I had gotten confused, so I had asked my grandmother, because she knows about such things about the church.My favorite episode from the show is episode two, where Father Abel and Tres meet a little girl named Elise Wasmeyer, who has telepathic powers and the ability to take over people's minds. So anyway, I really love this series.

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.
