A being which preys upon the vampires.” - Abel NightroadĪn interesting idea, especially since he looks and acts completely human until he unleashes his crusnik power. So then, why not a being still further up on the food chain.
“Has it never occurred to you that there may be something beyond the two. I think I will let Abel explain what a crusnik is in his own words: The main character, Abel Nightroad is neither human nor vampire.

There is a fourth faction, the Order of Rozen Cruiz, which seems set on ending the uneasy peace and changing the cold war to a full fledged world war. And Albion, or England, with its capitol in Londinium, is a technologically advanced society made up primarily of humans and a “ghetto” of vampires. The Vatican leads the New Human Empire and opposes the vampires in what is pretty much a cold war. The Empire of the True Race, is a vampire kingdom with its capital in Byzantium. Trinity Blood takes place several hundred years in the future in post apocalyptic Earth divided between three kingdoms. You can tell the elements are there for something good, but it just doesn't manage to deliver. And it's a pity because if both characters and story had been presented and developed better, it would have been a good watch. So, all considered, I found this anime to be lacking in regards to the characters and the plot. And this is true also for Esther, the female protagonist, who is on top of that also incredibly annoying.
But, as already mentioned, nearly no backstory is given for any of the characters. Another decent character is the Vampire Empress, Seth.
And, given that he is so powerful, I couldn't really understand why he never seemed capable of acting on time avoiding thus nefarious consequences but just waited for the worst to unfold. He reminded me a lot of Vash in Trigun, clumsy, kind-hearted and good-natured, he becomes totally cool as soon as he activates his crusnik powers. Abel Nightroad is practically the only reason why you go on watching the anime. Just a few characters are fleshed out and nearly none are developed. And the ending too is quite lame and absolutely unsatisfying. There are just a few hints here and there but none of your questions get an answer. The backstory isn't clear at all, so you don't understand why the bad guys are so bad (and the main antagonist btw is introduced really late in the story), you don't even understand why the main protagonist is as he is and exactly what his motives are. There are plot-holes and inconsistencies and quite a lot of contradictions. The story isn't developed well, it's slow to start and there are several filler episodes.
And this is basically the only interesting part, because the rest is all so disappointing. Humans hate vampires - backed by the religious beliefs of the Vatican - and vampires of course believe humans to be an inferior race, so we're on the brink of a full-scale conflict. There's the Vatican in Italy with a teenage pope manipulated by his older cardinal siblings, the Vampires ruled by a Vampire Empress in their own country somewhere east of the Vatican, Albion which is our contemporary UK under the reign of an ageing queen, and then a covert and obscure Rosen Cruiz Order that wants to undermine and overthrow the existing balance of power. The premise is interesting, presenting all the elements necessary for an exciting political intrigue story, but the shortcomings and drawbacks are so many that I'd say you can safely avoid watching it. Trinity Blood could have been a good anime, but it fails to deliver.
