    Thrilling, mature anime series is awfully gory.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The Vatican runs a squad of special-ops vampire hunters and sometimes justifies violent/questionable acts by saying that they're acting in God's name. The actions of the protagonists demonstrate that it's important to defend yourself and stand up to evil.
  • Violence:

    Very gory animated scenes involving sabres, knives, and copious bloodshed.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Trinity Blood

Parents need to know that this mature, gothic anime series is about a group of vampires out to dominate post-Armageddon civilization -- which means that scenes frequently depict heavy violence involving spears, blood, and guts. The vampires are often ruthless in seeking their prey; their determination might scare younger viewers who tune in looking for lighter sci-fi/action animated fare. In other words, the show is part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up for a reason.

    Great Show!

    The show is DEFINITELY an older kid's / young adult's show. There's religious sides (which some viewers may find offensive) and a LOT of violence. For those who haven't seen it yet: there are a lot of scenes that are fast-paced and thrilling (usually fight scenes), and then the very slow, more chick-flick scenes that are sentimental with the music in the background. But the graphics are beautiful, and it's a great show.

    this is the COOLEST show ever!!!!

    it's really gory, but awesome. If you like Sci-Fi(like me) read the series by Orson Scott Card, Ender. I'm on the third book, "Xenocide", my favorite book in the world. The first one in the series is titled "Ender's Game." AWESOME SHOW!!!!!
