I really had to restrain myself from reviewing anything to do with Kingdom Hearts, which I am obssesing over. Trust me, it's for Mary's health and mine. .___.
Anyway, enter Trinity Blood, a recent enough anime licensed by Funimation. 4 DVDs are out so far, and here I shall review the first one, or, the first 4 episodes.
Trinity Blood is about a world inhabited by humans and vampires. Years ago, they waged a war, and are still hostile amongst eachother. Now, enter Abel Nightroad, a traviling preist. He seems innocent enough, but who is he really? By episode 1 (which involves s hot air balloon and a vampire attack), we find out Abel is a Crusnik, a vampire that drinks the blood of other vampires. Sounds pretty scary, hm?
Some (or, many) things confused me with Trinity Blood, unfortunatly. Mabye I wasn't paying enough attention? Well. The whole vampire-human war left me confused, not exactly knowing what was going on. In every episode, Abel is somewhere else and ends up in some sort of vampire-or-other-paranormal issue. The fights are interesting enough, but I'm always wondering what he was doing in the first place. Why is he at this certain place? Meh. I may just be stupid.
The art is pretty good, though. Clean and fresh, you could say? And the music is nice too. I rather like the ending song, "Broken Wings".
All in all, I will continue to buy the Trinity Blood DVDs, but I must have some rewatching to do to catch all those confusing parts I misunderstood.
Ah, and I watched the sub, in case anyone was wondering, so I cannot review the dub here. :]
