This anime had a whole lot of potential. It has all the right elements for any avid vampire or action junky. Sure, it steals some things from Vash (especially toward the beginning when Abel is half goofy klutz half amazing vampire hunter) and also several things from Hellsing but that in itself would of been just fine.
My main problem with this anime is the fight scenes. Everytime, what could be, a epic fight scene comes up they do a few blows then immediately switch scenes, half the time never showing what happened. This happens in basically every good battle.
Another issue, is they seemed ... afraid to push the envelope. For example, without spoilers, someone bleeding profusely only for them to be fine a few minutes later. ______________________________________________________________

Art:
I Liked the animation in Trinity Blood. It's nothing too fancy, but personally I dislike anime that tries to distract you with beautiful visuals. Certain scenes had great detail and the character design was superb.

Sound:
Most of the time I hate the music in animes. There are very few exceptions, but this is one of them. They seemed to match up the soundtrack very well to the mood of the individual scenes.

Character:
This was the animes strongest suit. After watching it completely, I'm sure that if the character development and interactions between different characters weren't so enjoyable, I'd of never finished.
The main character, Abel Nightroad, was fun to watch every single episode. You never knew what he was going to do next. They also did very well with the scenes between Abel and his "friends". The scenes with Abel and his "Tovarish" were especially compelling.

Enjoyment:
I did enjoy this series, but it was certainly a big let down in many ways, as I stated above. However, due to the great character development, above average comedic elements, and decent storyline, I still liked it.
I imagine reading the manga would answer many things, but I feel as if animes need to be made viewer friendly. As if the manga doesn't exist in the viewers world.
