Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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!

Two races form in the fallout of a world war – humans and vampires (humans who evolved from colonies on Mars) – and maintain a fragile truce. However, both sides have enemies who would break the truce and enable their respective race subjugate or annihilate the other. It takes the intervention of Abel Nightroad, a super-vampire far beyond either race, to ensure peace between both races. This show stands out from the standard vampire anime for being a space opera. The story is a grand and epic tale, combining elements of sci-fi, horror, political intrigue, drama and even a touch of humour. The use of religious terms/themes makes this an intriguing and intricate story to explore. The characters are well-written and have interesting background and characterization to explore, and their voice actors are well-chosen (Troy Baker in particular is wonderful as the complex protagonist Abel). And the art is magnificently ornate and expressive, capturing the baroque world and its engaging characters in a stunning format. The story lasted only one season, though. It was dealt a heavy blow by the untimely passing of writer Sunao Yoshida, and though the comic continued the story it didn't really feel right; the anime had to end where it did. It's a tragically underrated and incomplete anime. Also the show tends to draw influence from other shows (TRIGUN, TO TERRA, HELLSING, VAMPIRE HUNTER D); it's only a side- effect of the incredibly abundant anime industry, but these inevitable comparisons can take away from how unique and wonderful the show is. On the whole, it's a very intricate and ornate anime that would have turned out to be one of the greatest vampire stories ever told, had fate been kinder to it.

The one thing I hate about anime is that the keep recycling shows over and over again. Gundam copies from the previous series over and over again. All romance anime copy from each other. I know, I know most people who've watched enough anime already know this. I don't always have a problem with it.For example Gundam Seed, it copies the almost exact story line from the original Mobile Suit Gundam ...which came out over 20 years ago. I gave it a 8, it gave me a couple of new things to keep me watching. That's what I want from a show that almost copies everything from a different anime. Now to a show that doesn't. For example Gundam Seed Destiny. It copies everything from Moble Suit Gundam and Gundam Seed, and does the same thing in every episode with nothing new to the story. It also goes on for another 50 episodes, I mean come on. This show was a complete waste of time. That's why I gave it a 1.I just need to explain one of the reasons why I am giving Trinity Blood a 1. Trinity Blood is a rip off of Trigun. When Trigun came out in 1998 it was original anime. I've never seen anything like it before then. I gave it a 10, and even now it's one of the best anime I've seen, I still watch it at least once a year. Trinity Blood is just Trigun recycled eight years later. Able Nightroad is a exact copy of Vash. He acts the same and has the same past. I truly like the story of a kingdom of Vampires and humans living right beside each other. If they made a anime about that it could have been great, but instead they made it about Able aka Vash, and it turned into crap. I would recommend you skip this show and instead see what Trinity Blood copied from a classic in Trigun.

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!
