![]() ![]() In case you don't know, the original writer died before he could finish the story, and it shows. But in my opinion 24 episodes are too few for the complexity they seemed to be aiming for, and in the end you're left wondering why did they include this and that character or storyline if they didn't plan to develop them at all. * The story was promising (not particularly original, but it had potential). But you have to know how to use them, and how to fit them into the episode. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against slow-paced scenes. * The direction was poor, at least in my opinion: they alternated fast (and quite well directed, yes, I have to give them that) action scenes with slow-paced, serene scenes -without any kind of transition, sometimes-, which kept me wondering about the director's sense of rhythm instead of letting me enjoy the series. ![]() There were some potentially interesting characters, though, but, of course, they weren't developed further than the first short introduction. Ion was the typical character who acts without thinking all the time and, although they try to present it as "noble", I just found it stupid. The pope invariably made me want to get into the TV and slap the "whiny-ness" out of him. ![]() The heroine was the stereotypical big-eyed, cute and good-hearted, not-particularly-interesting-or-intelligent anime heroine. Abel, the main character, was really annoying most of the time. Well, this is one of the downsides of the series. On the bright side, you have to love the main Crusnik's design, and Gunslinger and the Sword Dancer look really good too. I wish they had gone for a darker style, though, there were too many huge-eyed girls and sunny scenarios (with birds singing and all) for my liking. * The art is quite good (really good sometimes). I'm sorry to say this but, for me, Trinity Blood was a disappointment. ![]()
