Well, since this anime started being discussed in the Bleach thread, I decided to make this one to keep that one on topic, and so that people would have a place to blabber on about it.

So, go nuts!

As for me, I've only seen a couple of episodes. I have seen Abel's transformation though, and it is freaky.

But, so far I don't actually find the "funny" moments of the show to be, well, funny. I think they're poorly-written and distract from the main storyline.

Again, that's based off of only about two-three episodes, but that's my impression thus far.

I have watched about 5 episodes... I have the whole series but it's one in the few hundred I have yet to finish :P I have heaps of anime to watch it's not funny.

But yeah, Abel is AWSOME when he transforms. I especially love that red scythe weapon of his :o Oh my god, one of the most sweetest weapon designs I have ever seen.

The first episode is still the favourite one I have watched thus far. I guess mainly how the story was introuduced and the mysteriousness and Abel :^_^: Must get around to watching the rest of it soon :roll: Like everything else :P

Here are some pictures for those who don't know how it looks

I haven't bothered to look, but I like what I've seen of the anime so far... sad thing is, I dunno how much I was into it, so I don't remember if I saw that transformation or not..

It looks hugely impractical to use and wield, you know though. If they do end up getting hit by that bastard, its going to very well hurt.

I guess that's why they never get hit by it. O_o But yeah, I agree with Shane.. it's pretty hardcore.

Eh?? From what I had seen, I have loved the animation. :blink: But I have to admit from the first episode to what I had seen to the fifth it seemed to have settled a bit and drift away from what it was trying to portray in the first episode. I guess it wanted to wheel everyone in with the first episode then start going a bit random for a while until it starts going into story-ness again :P Meh, not the first time it's happened, lots of anime do that but still end up turning out good in the end so I'll wait and see what happens (when I eventually get back to watching it again :roll:)

Eh, I'm really not sure what's wrong with the animation compared to other "recent" anime, like Naruto. Lots of shows have incredibly poor animation quality, because they don't have the greatest budget in the world. I notice a lot of anime (well, with what little I do watch) where certain frames of animation will be insanely detailed, and then the next few the backgrounds will be nauseatingly blurry, and the characters suddenly won't have the detail they just had.

Unless I'm watching an OVA, to me personally, a fair amount of the animation quality in most shows is mediocre. I dont think Trinity Blood's animation quality is bad by any means, I just think it's average. Hellsing this is not, but then that was only 13 episodes.

As such, I tend to just wait for those moments of detail, and instead judge it on its character design. Which, so far, I like Trinity Blood's artisitc design, so I don't find it a bore to watch. Well, except for the fact that I've watched a bit more, and I'm still really annoyed with the placement of their "humor". They'll place an extended "funny" scene right in the middle of an episode that is supposed to be extremely dramatic, and it just ends up sucking me out of the story.

Not to mention that Abel's seemingly bipolar personality is grating on my nerves. A lot.

I had a chance to watch it this past weekend, but I was too tired, and I had other things to do, so.. yeah.. But from what I've seen of it, I've liked it. Thing is, I'm easy to please on a lot of things entertainment-wise.

[size=1]I guess im just hard to please when it comes to stuff like this, I still think trinity blood sucks, it puts me right to sleep, the american version is painfuly slow, like DBZ, and to me i think the characters are poorly developed, but thats just me. There arent many animes that delight me, close to none actually, but thats just because im only up for the best. If animation is lacking, pick it up with story, if story sucks, make it up with voice actors.[/size]

I've re-watched 1-5 and watched episodes 6 and 7... The animation is definately good compared to a lot of anime I have seen. The backgrounds are very detailed if focused on the surroundings to actually SHOW you the scene. But even when it's focused on the characters, the backgrounds still look decent compared to the stuff you see in say, for example Naruto with the blurred tree and bush background which goes in a loupe if the characters are running or something :P But even the character designs and animation for them is great. Definately not bad in my opinion.

And the show is not bad if you watch it in japanese. Yes I know I probably say that a lot and it may annoy some to read subtitles but if the dubbed version is bad, I see no reason to try the japanese version then as you'd find it better in that case. Although I admit I haven't seen the dubbed version, but at the same time I don't feel the need to as I am content enough watching it in japanese. Now that I think about it, it's hard to find good dubbed anime :unsure: There are only a select few which I liked, others I get annoyed with and stick to japanese - never to go near the bad dub again :lol: But lets see, there was Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun...... That's all I can think of :blink:

So wait, those listed... are those you DON'T like in English, or you DO like? O_o I liked Cowboy Bebop in English, myself. I thought it was done pretty good. Everyone didn't sound lame. Not like Neon Genesis or Eureka Seven. Eureka was another one. I prefer that one in Japanese, but at least it could be a professional copy instead of a fan-sub, because the subtitles on that one were horrible. >_> On mine, anyways. They spelled it how it sounded sometimes, and there was definitely improper grammar usage, which even I could tell that.

Those are ones that she DOES like. :P

And in addition to my Rachel's "list" there, I can say that The Vision of Escaflowne has, for the most part, an excellent dub. Only one character's voice bothers me, and though she's very prominent, it's not enough to bring down the quality of everyone else.

I'm starting to see the crappiness in Inuyasha's dubbing now... after watching a few more episodes, Kagome is really starting to annoy me.. I hate her voice. I used to love it at first, back when I was at the ignorant anime fanboy stage.. eesh.

I hate Inuyasha in english... Their voices irritated me so much. Although one thing I like about the dubbed version is that it kept the original japanese opening and ending themes.

But yes, as Shane already clarified, I was listing animes I LIKED the english dubbing of :P As I said in my original post. Perhaps I wasn't very specific but well, there you go

Well, thanks for specifying that for me. :P It makes much more sense now, and yes, I'm glad Inuyasha did keep the original endings. At least there's still something authentic about it. <_<
