With school starting this Monday, my anime budget will be a little smaller in the months to come so I am looking for a shelf worthy Anime series. With Gankutsuou Volume 6 already payed off, the only series I am currently collecting is Basilisk, so I figure 1 more would be well within my budget.
I've heard many different things about this series. I've read on this forum that people have liked it, and many others have hated it. One of my friends has this series fansubbed, but I am trying to avoid that because then I would really have no incentive to purchasing the series. I'm one of those people that just can't watch a series too many times, and sometimes can't even watch it twice because I already know what's going to happen. Back to the original question, is this series shelf-worthy? I am not just reffering to the first volume, but Trinity Blood as a whole. I guess that my real question is that if this series has atleast a decent conclusion that won't leave me hoping for a second season? Oh and I know Cartoon Network will be airing it, but I don't have TiVo and college life doesn't allow you much free time. |

I think the series will be very shelf worthy. I was at Otakon and saw the preview and talked with some of the voice actors. The show looks gorgeous and has some really good talent for the voices; Troy Baker, Greg Ayres to name 2.
The box itself to hold the series is also supposed to be really awesome. One of the voice actors at Otakon, Antimere Robinson, is the head art designer for Funimation. he designs all the art boxes and he said this one will be the best one they've ever done. It'll have this really cool top loading function to put the dvds in (hard to explain). Anyways, good series + hopefully kick ass box = shelf worthy |

I know it looks cool and all but don't be fooled. Its not complete crap but its not really shelf worthy either. The storyline is very monster of the week for a while and when it kinda starts getting good it goes nowhere. The ending doesn't even remotely solve anything and whole monster hunting smaller monsters bit has been done to death and often much better. The show was based on novels. The author died before finishing them. Have heard of no plans for a sequel. Thats the bottom line as far as how satisfactory it is when its all said and done. |

It does look like an interesting box indeed. The art on it looks cool as well. I am just wondering how easily it opens up. I am not so sure I would want it if it is always flying open on me for no reason. |

This is exactly the type of post I was looking for... well I was hoping it was better news. Thanks a lot for making my decision clearer. I also just found out that Ergo Proxy will be out in Novemeber, and Fate/Stay Night in December so those should be far better than Trinity Blood. |

If Ergo Proxy sounds interesting to you than you might want to check out Gilgamesh from ADV. It's a darker end of the world type series but the ending is quite different from most series like it. The show starts off a bit slow but by the second dvd you're really drawn in and your opinions of both sides could change multiple times throught the series.

Trinity Blood has the honor of being the first show i ever quit in mid-run. i don't know if it got better later, but up to episode 7 it was pretty damn unbearable. cliche characters, dry dialogue, really really horrible action sequences... it's almost like they spent the whole budget on the intro.

Actually I think Trinity Blood is based on the manga that is based on the novels, so things get a little water down. That said the story will never be finished, at least I think so. I don't believe I've heard anything about anyone finishing the novels. I think that I would rather collect Ergo Proxy (Just because I have not seen, but I am still really interested) over Fate/Stay Night and Trinity Blood. Both TB and F/SN suffer from incomplete stories, whereas you would have to do some additional reading (or playing in F/SN case) to get the entire story. Here my comparison for Trinity Blood, I was originally watching the show fansub with Speed Grapher (I am currently buying both now) and they are both interesting series, that I think fail to become great series. In TB, the show suffers from berserk's ending issues, and with no OVA or second season the novel/manga look to be our only hope. Till next time, Delta Kiral |
