>>456623 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.
