Trinity Blood

We just finished watching Trinity Blood. The whole series. This was recommended by a friend at K's work because it had some decent style and a novel take on vampires. I have to agree on the novel take on vampires, the plot (what there was) was good and made me want to watch more. The downside was that I wasn't a huge fan of the animation and you could blatantly tell when "CGI" was used. Think water effects that just don't blend at all with the characters.
The biggest problem overall was that the story abruptly ends. You feel like there could be so much more to the story than the 24 episodes that they put out. Plus, if you don't read the Wiki on the series, you honestly will not know what is going on. Or I suppose that you could read the manga. It's really too bad that I don't like manga.
The story is as follows (from Amazon.com because I've had too much wine to write a synopsis):

Two races, Terran and Methuselah, human and vampire, are locked in a struggle for existence, trembling on the brink of war. Some seek the path to a peaceful coexistence, while others pursue a dangerous shift in the balance of power… And the world’s enemy, Contra Mundi, is starting to move. Cooperation and goodwill between the two races may be their only chance for survival.
Abel Nightroad, a touring priest for the Vatican, walks calmly where others fear to tread. A member of the formidable AX, tasked with the protection of the fragile equilibrium. Neither human nor vampire, with an awkward yet optimistic nature, this Father is a force wholly his own. When the greater threat emerges, the enemy of my enemy is my friend… And Abel Nightroad seeks a safe path for all.

My recommendation:  Rent it. It's a pretty good story, even though it leaves you wanting more. It's a bit like Inuasha in that respect. I also think that it helps if you have the wiki open to tell you what actually happened in each episode, though it will ruin any and all surprises for you in the plot. :)
