Trinity Blood is definately one of the best new animes out there. Better than Hellsing imo.
Look at this world and tell me the pleasures of sanity.

Well, I'll be the voice of dissent and say that except for the part in the first episode where he makes the guy rip out his own heart, I was extremely disappointed by this series. I thought it was horrible. :x

It's not about the blood...it's about the story and the characters. Neither of them were especially interesting or compelling. *shrug* It was hard not to compare it to Hellsing when I was watching it, and every time it came up lacking.

Trinity Blood's biggest fault is that a good chunk of the story makes no sense unless you've read the novel.

That said, the middle of the series is incredibly good. (Some of the endings to some episodes are just brilliant, especially with the ED song..)

i didnt think it was about the blood either! xD
I just wanted to know your reason since you didnt explain before.I wonder if it'd be the same if you saw Trinity Blood BEFORE Hellsing. =O

Seen 10 eps so far...
And i must say it seems a bit too stereotypical...
Especially Abel gets on my nerves...I cannot stand those gooddoers who won't kill their enemies...
But there may be some interesting twists in the next 14 episodes, so I cannot finalize my judgement yet...

I like Abel, but he's too much a rip-off of Vash the Stampede. But I suppose that's Trinity Blood in a nutshell - it's awesome, but it rips off far too much from other anime and popular entertainment... like the scene in one of the beginning episodes that's straight out of Equilibrium.

I enjoyed the show quite a bit, but I still don't think it has much on Bleach. Maybe if it had more originality and didn't end abruptly...

Too be fair, most shows arn't that original. I don't see why Bleach is original either. But yeah, I ignore originality. Even if a show isn't original, as long as it's solid it would be alright. That said, Trinity Blood isn't exactly solid in some aspects. The ending is just terrible and makes little sense to non-novel readers.

I still like the ending to some episodes though. With the ED song. Just so beautiful at times.

I haven't seen Trinity Blood but I know that Bleach isn't all that original. Most shonens use recycled motifs and themes anyway. In fact, the term "Shonen" might be better used to describe this collection of motifs and themes instead of describing a genre.

Most shows aren't that original, but Trinity Blood is much more blatant in 'borrowing' things. For example, Abel's personality, or the way that he unlocks his power being almost exactly like Alucard in Hellsing.

In the gunfight scene I mentioned, they even copied poses and camera angles and such straight out of Equilibrium. Check here for more info.

Most shows at least make an attempt to alter things a little instead of just copying them outright. Still, I suppose I enjoyed Trinity Blood quite a bit despite all that.

AHA!
I dont believe it!
I was right!
The first time i saw Seth, i thought...
and then i thought that maybe...
And i was right! Yosh! i rock!
...
On the other hand, to be able to predict the plot with such accuracy, this might mean i have watched too much anime...
...
But yeah, ok Abel is a complete ripoff of Vash, and the series is copying from Equilibrium and Hellsing, but still, it is carried out skillfully...so the score goes up a point...

I agree. Even if it is completely ripping off other characters and scenes and such, it's definitely well executed and enjoyable. Except for the ending and the plot gaps and such - I'm definitely going to have to read those graphic novels.

well, I just completed it and I would say it was rather enjoyable...perhaps some minus points for the religious undertones, but sure, I can ignore that...At least the vamps were cool...And of course, the very Trigunish cliffhanger ending is a tad annoying as well...
I say it deserves a 7.

I didn`t know it had anything to do with religion until i watched some extras on adultswim`s site.
I was like.."Abel & Cain are people in the Bible?! WHAAAT"

I still love those names though <3

I dropped it too. Didn't seem to be going anywhere though the animation was pretty good. I was bored. Bleach isn't a favorite of mine either...kind of "Yu Yu Hakusho done right" vibe...but I've enjoyed Bleach much more than Trinity Blood.

First off id like to say both of this are fairly mediocre to lackluster shows....I would put bleach above trinity blood for this reason and this reason only... TB is finished and the ending and the majority of the show was just awful and uninspiriing. Bleach has yet to finish soo it has a sliver of a chance to redeem itself to become a half decent show. so i guess Bleach ftw? ( i cant believe i just said that)

EDIT- Before people go and start bitching all i did was give my honest opinion so suck it up and move along

I just started watching TB and the first thing I noticed was that Abel looked damn familiar. Like I've seen him somewhere in some other anime.. Hmmm..

Frankly I hated it. Plot was everything than interesting and I just wanted to choke Abel just because "noooOOO! I won't kill" attitude. Abel didn't do it right, Vash did, he was actually funny sometimes.
Music and transformed Abel was only good things I was able to found. But he transformed way too rarely. And even when transformed, he usually wouldn't kill anyone. I don't see any similiarites between TB and Hellsing, so I can't compare them.

I'm suprised I actually finished it, maybe I hiped ending would make teh shit better but no. It only digged itself deeper in its own shit.

ohhh.....wow
well first off i love trinity blood, and i also loved bleach - with the emphasis on loved. Bleach is overdrawn, makes a mockery of itself, and ruined a chance at a great story by randomly entering a new story arch - but i still watch it (i have it on hold right now) hoping that it some day go back to the greatness that was the soul society arch.
and yes trinity blood is confusing, strays from the manga and novel (so i have heard) and has a bad ending (damn you!!!) but it is still better, far better than bleach
