Watching Trinity Blood. It's pretty good. Not as good as i remember it being, though.
Trinity Blood is the absolute worst anime I have ever seen.
I caught three episodes of it on Adult Swim, and really liked what I saw, and my mother ended up getting the box set for me as a gift. Turns out those three episodes were the only enjoyable mini-arc in the entire series. Everything else is absolute garbage.
The series jumps into the action, which normally works all right - but there's usually a time where some backstory is given. What's eventually explained - much later - is convoluted, and doesn't get much clearer. The plot just ends up decaying, becoming more senseless as it goes on. Little of what you want to see is ever shown or explained. The ending is an absolute cop-out that had an incredibly disappointing rise in action, no "conclusion" - it solved nothing. I don't remember much about the characterizations - which maybe says more than I really need to.
It's been maybe four or five years since then, and I still hold the strongest negative feelings towards it.
Also @Clyve and @Silver_Wolf, Gurren Lagann was refreshingly original, and has great animation, so it's worth watching. I don't think it warrants the obession its garnered, but what some characters lack in substance they make up for in other ways.
