Trinity Blood

This anime contains 24 episodes! And sadly I have to report it has an open ending! Some matters don't get explained! My guess is that there was going to be a sequel but because of low ratings never got made! After reading some articles on the net it seems that only a small Japanese audience are interested in a dark,Gothic series like this! Well to be honest I don't know what they mean by that because "Trinity Blood" isn't dark and certainly not in comparison with other anime about vampires! I suspect that it has something to do with the biblical references and the catholic church that have a prominent role in the series! But don't let these references put you off! They are not trying to convert you! And the reason why the Vatican are in charge of the human world will be explained! The story is not that difficult to follow! Mostly the story is about the battle between good and evil!(The action scenes depicting these battles are quite impressive and effective!) Very predictable at times! That doesn't mean that you won't be surprised by the events! Because you will! There are a few twists and turns that made the story more interesting! The story works thanks to the drama the characters endure! The main characters are very likable and that is why you will care for them! I could go describing the different characters! But I am not going to! Part of the fun for this anime is discovering who these characters are! "Trinity Blood" is beautifully animated (good mix of animation and cgi)and very stylish! The musical score is superb! (There is this exciting battle theme! When you hear this theme you know that something spectacular will happen.) In comparison with other anime about vampires "Trinity Blood" isn't entirely original! But it does add some new ideas and elements that makes it worth watching!

If you liked Hellsing and want to see another vampire-centered anime, maybe you should give this series a try.

Personality wise, the main character is like a mixture of Alucard and Vash the Stampede, and while I overall prefer Hellsing, the setting and several plot elements from this anime were quite interesting and it would be nice see another Trinity Blood series in the future.

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.

Take Vash Stampede's traits and Alucard's abilities and you have Abel Nightroad - the main character of Trinity Blood.

I didn't like "Trinity Blood" at all. I fought my way through 6 episodes hoping that the anime would still grab me somehow because the description sounded really interesting, but it just got boring as time went on.

The only highlights I remember are the moments when Abel Nightroad uses his abilities and leaves his opponents frozen in fear - but even for those moments it's not worth watching this bland anime any longer.

This anime has aged really badly in comparison with other older Animes.

This is an excellent anime action/horror series set in the apocalyptic future. The anime series is also suitable for October (close to Halloween) or any other month.

Like I said before, I have an interest in ghosts, werewolves, and vampires, the key monsters for the show. I believe that both Father Havel and Father Leon remind me of Viggo Mortensen's portrayal of Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings, and Father Leon also reminds me of Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Van Helsing. As I watched the series, I was surprised the Vatican had survived for over 900 years. At first, I wondered if it was possible for a woman to hold the positions of cardinal or bishop. This epiphany came to me when I discovered that Lady Caterina is a cardinal and Laura Vitez, who plays Esther's mother in the series, is a bishop. My query to my grandma, who is knowledgeable about religion, perplexed me.

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.
