So I wrote a complete spiel, but the computer crashed and I didn’t save it Time for the short version. Basically, Gyula hates the church and the Terrans because they killed his wife. Thus he plans to use his wife’s creation, an energy redirection satellite, as a Goldeneye style weapon. Unfortunately, Dietrich had secretly programmed in a rogue process which gives him control. It turns out he faked his death and was playing Esther and Gyula against each other all along. As part of Rosenkreuz, he plans to use the satellite to re-ignite the war between vampires and humans. He tells Esther the self destruct code for fun, knowing that Gyula won’t let her destroy his beloved wife’s creation (that sentimental fool!). Abel busts in and does his Kresnik act while Esther attempts to initiate the self destruct sequence. It doesn’t work initially, but Abel pulls some deus ex machina crap out of his butt and saves the day.

I really don’t know what to make of this series; while splendid production values abound, it has rather lame plot twists filled with a “been there, done that” feeling. In addition, the total lack of logic rivals Aquarion in magnitude. Gyula’s wife is a brilliant engineer who works in an evening gown? Abel can wipe the floor with a vampire’s ass but is powerless against a couple ropes tying him down? The inconsistencies boggle the mind, but it sure is easy on the eyes. It’s not a groundbreaker by any means, but Trinity Blood certainly is digestible entertainment. Hopefully the later episodes will feature meatier plots and development.
