Trinity Blood...an interesting idea

Tweet

How many of you have seen the show Trinity Blood?? Imagine a world in the distant future where the Roman Catholic chruch was a military force and the Pope was considered a president/king. Now, i'm talking about the anime now...the basis is a great idea using religion and wars between to races, humans & vampires. we can analyze this anime and point out the similarities between the show and the church. the ideals of the 2 different military leaders, where the pastors and nuns are no longer peacful, but cary guns and weapons and act as a police in some ways. as a christian this show is just great to watch, and the idea behind it, very interesting...do yo think that this is a possibility in the future?? ---------------------------------- The series takes place an indeterminate time in the future, long after an apocalyptic war destroyed civilization, but after humanity reestablished itself. In this future world, the Roman Catholic Church has become a major military power, whose goals include the protection of humanity against the vampiric Methuselahs, who prey upon mankind (or "Terrans" as they call humans). The seat of power is the Vatican city, appearing as an attractive place with traditional European architecture and likely the same Vatican city in the real world (albeit perhaps rebuilt following the previous war). The Methuselahs are themselves another major political and military force. Their capital of Byzantium (presumably built on the site of the real world's Byzantium) appears as an elegant metropolis, surrounded by a field of particles which filters out UV radiation thus protecting the methuselah population. Both sides in this conflict are in a barely contained cold war against each other. The current countries use "lost technologies", remnants from before the war. These include airships, missiles, computers, etc. Worth noting is a third great power, Albion. It is almost definitely a future version of modern day Britain, with Buckingham Palace clearly seen in a number of episodes, reigned over by a monarchy. It is characterised by its larger arsenal of lost technology and weapons than the Vatican. Other states are rarely mentioned but the novelised/manga version does refer to other countries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Blood ------------------------------------------------------ Official US site http://www.trinityblood.tv/
