Is this a movie or an OVA or what?

It's a TV series. I think it's 12 or 13 episodes.

Trinity Blood is a 24 episode series and this looks like they took the first few episodes made them into a "movie." Funimation is probably trying to find new ways to sell their series and it is a good idea. Show people the first few episodes to get them interested in it.

Hmm.. Im not sure I like this. However, It would be cool to see some anime series on the big screen, especially GONZO productions, but this will give the MPAA rights to shutdown sites that might host torrents from Funimation series..

Funimation is known for hating fansubs, and the MPAA is gung ho about closing down torrent sites that hold their material.

Just a theory on my part, but it seems perfectly plausable..

my compliments to whoever makes their traliers. they actually managed to make something this boring look like an action-packed thrill ride.

Um....don't all anime trailers do that? I mean heck, sometimes trailers miss the whole point of the anime intriely and make it seem like something it isn't.

Not to mention that it's actually going to be in theaters, so they have to draw a lot of people in....anime, be them movies, or compiled episodes like this, doesn't do that well in movie theaders due to the 'anime is cartoons and cartoons are for kids' misconception. So it would appear that Funi's doing everything they can to draw in the age group that Trinity blood is aimed at, even if it's making the anime seem like "an action-packed thrill ride".

I don't think the anime was that great, but I still liked it.

This trailer shows nothing of what the anime really about, in my opinion...

I agree... I just saw it and did a "wtf". Total misadvertising. Most of that animation was from episode 1 anyways from what I remember.

Well the thing they will be showing in theaters will probably be the first four episodes spliced together into a movie.

The word "Genesis" implies the beginning, and since this is apparently made from the first (few) episode(s)... it's as good a name as any.

Well, they could make it into an action packed thrill ride if they cut the entire series down into about 20 minutes.

Are they seriously gonna make a movie out of scenes cut from the TV series? The animation quality wasn't really near that of most animation movies and the series itself isn't always as dark as the trailer shows it to be. Even the main character is pretty much like Vash as a vampire. I still liked the series though, just do yourself a little bit of research before you start shelling out your money and I still don't think this'll be made into a movie. At least not in theaters.

Someone had told me that it was just the first four episodes without the OP/ED. Now, if that is how it is going to be on the DVDs, then what the heck is up with that? I mean, I want to watch a series not a meshed together "movie".

It will be shown in a few theatres... (the first four episodes) at least. Check out www.funimationfilms.com . I for one have not seen the series, but I love the character design, the look, I enjoyed what I read of the manga, and I'm a vampire fan. So, I really cannot wait to see this in the fall (dvd release). Don't worry though I do not think the series will be spliced or anything like that at all for the dvd release. This is just a trailer.

I'm the same, though I've already seen the series (loved it) as well. I found the trailer very weird, but I hope it at least gets some more people to watch and like it.

I'd much rather have a normal DVD release, skip the whole theater thing now, and wait for the FMA movie to get released later. Very Happy
