A Review of Trinity Blood-
"After watching the first few episodes, I have to say I like this anime, but I have to agree, it does resemble Hellsing. The animation is similar (daaaa) and the idea of a "vampire hunter" being himself a vampire. There is also the organisation led by a female (a strong female at that). But Hellsing wasn`t the first anime I thought of in terms of similarity. After watching the first half of the first episode I found many resemblances to Trigun, like the lost tehnology, and Abel Nightroad being an always cheerfull guy, serious only when fighting, knowing a lot about the lost tehnology and sprouting weapons (like the blood scyithe) out of nowhere (Vashe's mysterious hand) ...................... But I hope that after a few episodes more, a few twists and charachter developement this anime will become much more than just a rip off of good ideas from older anime and it will stand on its own "two feet". It shows a lot of promise."

Folks, when you're given the option to leave a review...leave a review, not some moronic comment you'd find on a forum.
WHY do you like the show? The animation? The music? The characters and plot?
Was there anything bad about the show? If so what?
Do you recommend it? Should those who haven't watched it, skip it?
*sigh*
Trinity Blood is an okay anime. I'm enjoying it for what it is. The animation is beautiful, the characters are interesting enough to hold my attention, and I love the music. The plot is pretty watered down and it lags quite a bit. I recommend the manga (I haven't read the novels) over the anime. However, it's a good show to fill in the gaps between other hits like Bleach and Naruto (or whatever tickles your fancy).
Yes, there are similarites between Trinity Blood and Hellsing. Abel does have restrictions on his power. Yes, the leader of their organization is a powerful woman like Integra. Yes, Abel goofy like Vash from Trigun. Yes there is lost technology like Trigun. Yes, Abel does have a HUGE ASS SYCTH that comes out of his hand.
Similarities like this are STUPID! Stop pointing them out!
Why? Name me one anime/manga that ISN'T similar to another? A popular anime/manga.
Lets take a look at some examples.
D from Vampire Hunter D is a vampire halfbreed. Alucard from Hellsing is a vampire. Abel from Trinity Blood is vampire that eats other vampires. Shido from Nightwalker is a Vampire. What do they all have in common? WIERD SHIT COMES OUT OF THIER HANDS! THEY ALL HUNT OTHER VAMPIRES/DEMONS/KILL LOTS OF SHIT! THEY ALL HAVE FANGS! THEY ALL HAVE SERIOUS SOCIAL ISSUES!
OMGWTFTHEFT!
Hardly.
As for the Trigun comparison...I suppose Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist is more like Vash (niether of these characters are vampires, BTW), since he has a mechanical super special arm and wears a red cape. Well, shit, Alucard wears a red coat too! So does Dante from Devil May Cry! CRAP! ONOES!!111!! MORE RIPZOOFFS!
STFU
News flash morons. Red is a symbolic color in Japan. A lot of heros are going to be wearing it. Same goes for white. Not to mention, trench coats and capes are cool. Get over it.
Lost technology? Don't make me laugh. How many anime/manga use the theme of Lost Technologies/Powers as a setting/plot device? Full Metal Alchemist (Philosopher's Stone). Trigun. Trinity Blood. Scyred. Generator Gawl. Texhnolyze. Vampire Hunter D.
Friggen Duh.
Goofy, strong characters? Holy shit. Where do I begin? Ummm...Goku from DBZ anyone? How about Naruto? Luffy D. Monkey from One Piece? Gawl from Generator Gawl? Lets not forget Ginji from Get Backers or Goku from Saiyuki either. Kenshin was pretty silly himself as well.
You'll have to do better than that.
Don't get me started on samurai anime/manga. They're almost ALL THE SAME. *but for some odd reason people don't bitch about this*
And if I hear one more comparison between shonen jump anime and DBZ I'm going to crawl through my friggen screen and start mutilating people with a spork. Of course they're similar, you dumbasses. WTF do you expect?
Sheesh...
I hate my fandom.
Posted by Zoso at May 31, 2005 07:31 PMOh how I love this little rant. ^.^ If I can add something to it though... Chrono from Chrono Crusade is a demon killing other demons and so does Inu Yasha, though he is only a half demon. Also, it seems that there is always some sort of sibling thing going on. Like Sasuke and Itachi, Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru, etc. You have a good point in saying that a lot of anime are similar.
Yes, you're right. And along that same theme, the guys from Saiyuki are demons killing demons too! There's almost always some sort of sibling rivalery going on...and one things we've both forgotten to mention, most anime/manga characters don't have parents!!!
Posted by: Zoso at September 21, 2005 07:20 PMLol. Yeah, I think in most anime/manga I've seen, you always just hear or see the mom or dad saying something to the kid or whatever rather than being drawn in, like in one of the first episodes of Naruto where Sakura's mom is yelling to her from outside her room. (Though I think it would be a lot easier if you talked to someone face to face, but hey, anime artists can be a little lazy too.) Except in Inu Yasha, which seems to have its own little thing going on seeing as you see Inu Yasha's mother and not his father, and the same thing with Kagome. With Sango it's the exact opposite. But there is one exception when Shiori's parents are revealed during her little 2 episode thingie.
