Irishchatter 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!

ESPAlexi600 This show exceeded my expectations. People on here say the story is a bit cliché....ehhhhh, not really. It did have some cliché themes in anime such as brother hating brother and stuff which i thought at first was just stupid until the story progressed and I found out they actually have a REASON to hate one another. Over all the story seriously dropped my jaw.Characters: The character development in the show is VERY well done. I was amazed at the differences and mysteries surrounding each and every character. Abel Nightroad seems like a goofy idiot(which is entertaining) yet when he transforms becomes Serious,brutal, vicious, yet warm in it's own way. Esther's character i have to say was better developed in the novels but I'm not complaining since I like her story in both. The other characters.... you'll just have to see for your self. Art/Animation: The Art and animation is incredible. The detailed landscapes and settings are eye candy and so pretty to look at. The character designs are amazing as well and have fine little details that truly amaze me. The Crusniks' designs are truly beautiful and creepy in it's own way.Story/plot: I remember when I first heard of the show being about Vampires (methuselas) I was afraid it was going to turn out like a Twilight rip off in anime form. I was sorely mistaken. This story reinvents the entire concept of Vampires. The political turmoil and cold war that takes place in the series is amazing but the real mystery is the back story of the main character Ax Agent Abel Nightroad Code Name Crusnik. If you watch the story. The main question you will ask your self is "What is a Crusnik." Well you'll find out soon enough if you watch it. Action: This is a show that doesn't rely on over the top gore and massacres to be scary. The action it self is rather tame compared to other animes. Don't be fooled. Just because the action is tamer doesn't mean it's not as good or creepy. Whenever the Crusnik appears it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The first time he appears will leave you saying "What the hell just happened?!"overall: I love this show.. It's amazing. Check it out it's really worth the watch. It's short yeah but good news. If you watch the entire show and still wanna learn more about it skip the manga(it's not really that interesting) and Go read the Novels. They're sold in normal bookstores. One more thing. Those who only watch the anime only know half the story ;)

langaer The movie is great and is definitely worth watching, if you are not obsessed with idealistic stuff. If you're expecting perfection, then don't watch it; don't watch anything at all – it will only add to your feeling of frustration. But if you simply like anime, then it is a good film.Actually, the basic rule of any movie-lover is to watch movies before reading any comments or reviews on them. Comments and reviews are actually useless; they make you biased, since they present only personal opinions of people who are complete strangers to you. So why should you listen to them if you are clever enough to form an opinion of your own? I was lucky to watch this series without this extra "educational baggage", and I liked it. If I had read the comments or reviews before, I probably wouldn't have watched it, and I personally think I'd have lost a lot. The plot seemed to me good enough; the characters (all of them taken together) were quite balanced; enough action, enough saliva; some very hard to find values, a lot of big words and actions, and some characters developing through the movie, which is on the whole a rare thing in anime and sure, interesting to watch. Some moments were fantastic, some were so-so, some seemed too short, some felt too long. Just like in any other anime film you care to name.The basic problem of people who hate this movie (I can't even think how anyone can HATE a movie) is misunderstanding of the plot, or rather, not understanding it at all. And instead of trying to make it out, these people flood forums with negative reviews saying that the plot is awful. I actually never read the novel, and I never saw the manga, but still I had no problems with understanding the plot, the characters, their backgrounds and their complexes. I think anyone with some common sense and a tiny bit of imagination can grasp what is going on in there. 8-) And then again, there are dozens of sources that can help clarify some places.I'm not arguing with people who dislike the director's work, drawing style, color schemes, or scene arrangement – those are sensei, they probably know better, they're the experts. I'm just a humble TV-rat, these things are beyond me, I never notice them.And there are people who just were not touched by what they saw. Ye gods, that does not make it a bad movie, guys. There are a lot of films that raise problems we are not interested in – can we call these movies bad and advise others against watching them? This film is not a masterpiece (though I'm sure the criteria are different with each individual person among the audience), but it surely does not deserve to be labeled a failure (though the criteria are different again). The ending did seem a bit abrupt, and I can say I wanted more, looks like it ended two or three episodes earlier than it should. But, considering the circumstances, what can I do about it? Just accept it the way it is. There will be nothing more, alas.My point is: watch the film, if you feel like doing it. If you're not biased, if you're not taught how to think of the movie, you will most likely find something that will compensate for the time you spend watching it.P.S. (About people who write reviews) In one of the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children reviews (not on IMDb) some guy wrote that it was so stupid when Cloud jumped with that big sword of his; considering the size of the sword and Cloud's constitution, Cloud shouldn't be able to even raise the sword, let alone jump with it so high in the air… (8-(

CrassActionHero 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.
