Anime Craze continues: Trinity Blood
May. 6th, 2008 04:06 pmI must say huge "thank you" to all of you who recommended "Trinity Blood". This one was clearly written for me. I have almost finished it, and the only bad thing so far is it's 24 episodes length. I think I would have liked 3 or 4 seasons of this. Anime goodness abounds:
- Angels! Fighting the enemies of humanity with big sickles rusted with blood!
- Eternal battles between good and evil!
- Cain and Abel! Father Abel in particular, as a model exemplar of a tortured conflicted hero with a dark past. Also he turnes into an angel by will and wears glasses in his human form!
- Abel has a beautiful platonic OTP with a nun/future queen of humanity Sister Ester!
- Vampires, but not so much in blood-sucking way as in different species of humanity way.
- Animation and the music score that make it all feel like The Phantom of the Opera set in the future.
- GORGEOUS ending song. I am usually not a fan of Japanese and Korean music, but this song just got under my skin.

Lyrics:
I know this will not remain forever
However, it's beautiful
Your eyes, hands and you warm smile
They're my treasure
It's hard to forget
I wish there was a solution
Don't spend your time in confusion
I will turn back now and spread...
My broken wings still strong enough to cross the ocean with
My broken wings, how far should I go drifting in the wind?
Higher and higher in the light...
And my broken wings still strong enough to cross the ocean with
My broken wings, how far should I go drifting in the wind?
Across the sky, just keep on flying...
