It seems that the plagiarism show has spawned homoerotic wallpapers. Joy.....

Out of curiosity, what does it plagiarize?

It's more a case of what it DIDN'T plagerise. Hellsing was the main one for me (and fuck, Hellsing's a massive ripoff itself!), but it probably went after a few others that I don't recognise. I'm pretty certain that there was some Nightwalker in there but seriously, Nightwalker is how old?

Ultimately the Trinity Blood anime seemed to me like the producers got a long list of hit animes and started ticking off the points that made them great. Angsty vampires? Tick. Pet vampires kept by religious institutions? Tick. James Bond and friends, plus interesting devices? Gott'em. Hot blonde chick with glasses keeping vicious vampire on a leash since her puberty? Check. Steampunk in a post-Apocolyptic world? Yah.

It goes on forever.

The thing that really sucks is that Trinity Blood had so much potential. The character designs are brilliant, the idea is great, the animation is excellent, but the producer and writer need the shit kicked out of them. It ticks the boxes, follows every formula it can get its hands on, and the characters are beyond irritating. I'm sure you're meant to feel sympathetic, but meh. They're just whiny little bitches. The English dub doesn't help the cause much either.

The novels and manga are much better. Still not brilliant, but much better than the anime.

Thank you for responding to that question. I heard many people RAVING about Trinity Blood, so I watched the sub and I was... so disappointed. The art was fairly pretty, and the show seemed to have potential, so I dredged through all twenty-some-odd episodes hoping that SOMETHING would tie it up nicely, answer all my questions, etc. and make the series worth it.

I was sorely disappointed. The show seemed more concerned with finding interesting ways to introduce new characters, and focused its episodes moreso on the characters that would never show up again than the members of the clergy or the reoccurring villains.

For character development, there was absolutely ZERO in the anime. Despite Abel Nightroad being in nearly every episode, I knew almost nothing about him, other than really generic characteristics. Esther started off being a vengeful girl killing people to a sweet girl in the vatican (who, out of the whole group, had a really poor fighting ability in a sea of awesome fighters), and then switched from being strong to weak throughout the show. She was BORING. And she wound up being the next ruler or whatever of that kingdom that they only started talking about in the last few episodes... Argh. What kind of storytelling IS that?

In fact, the last few episodes were even more confusing than the rest of the series. Abel is dead, but then he's not, and there's little explanation as to why? And then in the last episode, there's a flashback--but wait, ABEL is the really bitter Krusnik, not the other guy who's out to kill everybody now? And what IS that flashback all about?

Yes, there's a lot of spoilers in there, but you know what? No one should watch that show. It was bad, and it didn't redeem itself.

I read a review of the show somewhere that I really agreed with, and it said that thew series spent so much time and effort on keeping the atmosphere of the show intact. It did that really well, and is one of the few vampire anime that really kept traditional vampire superiority intact. It just didn't focus on any central story.

It was also gorgeous. No one can argue with how slick the art and animation was

i liked it cause i don't really care if it is similar to other animes, only thing i didn't like is there hasn't been a second one to continue the story where they left it
