...Wasn't that already done in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer book?
Although I guess the entire show is about doing things that already have been done...

I dunno, I think the review is a bit too harsh. Theres no crime in not being one hundred percent original, sometimes the old cliches still work.

But they don't work here. This show is a disjointed slop of ideas given a really paper-thin reason for co-existing. I mean we got robots, vampires, "Catholics" (and I use that term about as loosely as I use the term "vampires," given how many liberties this show takes with both concepts), steampunk sky navies, secret super powers, mafias, mad scientists, and very little of it clicks well together, much less all of it. Add the fact that Trinity Blood's approach to all of these ideas is horribly, horribly cliché, and you have a show that's just simply terrible. The show has trouble getting its basic premise to function (dragging the entire series down, as a result), and that premise doesn't even have redeeming luxury of being made of unique parts to compensate.

I think that's the key reason I don't like this show. It just doesn't give me a reason to care, so I don't. It then becomes boring and I stop watching it back at episode three.
