Armageddon… The ultimate sin of humanity, perpetrated upon itself, which cast the shroud of death across the world centuries ago. And out of that lasting darkness, they emerged… From the legends of ancient times, they have been called forth into the world anew… Vampires.
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.

The premise of a teenage Pope let alone the fact his two main advisors are his older
siblings is a little far fetched to say the least. It would have been nice to have more character development in their earlier stages. Father Able is a shining example of not judgiung a book by its cover. The rest of the supporting cast are interesting especially “Seth”. I was stunned how quickly the story had ended. I hope they make another.

PACKAGING
Nice packaging. Comes in a slip case with nice artwork of all the characters and the now common viridian collection stamp on the front, back and side. Inside is two thin cd cases with 2 cd’s in each. (again nice artwork on both cases with that steel cross looking symbol on the back of both. Each cd has red and gold symbolic artwork on it with roman numerals 1-4 (1 for each cd).
CONTENTS
**Complaint** there is no extras on the first 3 cd’s. A quick trailer (of one anime or another) will play prior to the main menu screen, but only disc 4 has any extra features, and all it has is the textless opening and ending (which is not really textless because you can’t turn of the subs that show) and a list of trailers. There are no commentaries or behind the scenes.
ANIME
The 3 stars is for the anime itself. This is a personal opinion and you should watch the anime yourself because you may think it deserves a better rating. I just honestly think there was too much panicked screaming on Ester’s part and the bit about **SPOILER** Father Abel saying he promised not to kill anymore? Are you kidding me!? I remember more than once him swinging that demon scythe thing and wiping out plenty of enemies.
But all in all I didn’t like it, but don’t let that stop you from buying it, if you like the anime it’s a great price, and I love the overall theme, I just think the execution could have been better.

This anime is based off vampires and humans in a semi-peaceful existence, where the world has been ravaged by WMD’s. However, war may break out at any moment. Abel is the main character. It is a spin-off of Cain and Abel from the Bible. Abel is…special, that’s all I will say. He acts like the clutsy hero, who has a dark past, as well as a dark side. This show has many philosophical moments, as well as many bloody moments, but it does stay away from a lot of gore. This story is full of drama and romance, as well as action and adventure. Each character has their own attitudes and style of behavior, which is great. Overall a good anime, comparable to Trigun, but not quite enough to reach Cowboy Bebop.
