Trinity Blood, wait, what the Hell is going on!?
Q. *** MAJOR SPOILER ALERTS if you care* Ok, hello. I am watching Trinity Blood, the anime, and I am thoroughly confused. I'm on episode 16 or so, and the last few episodes have made no sense whatsoever. First, Abel and Esther were running around The Empire with this little Earl Methusela, Ion, trying to prevent world war. Which I get. But then Ion suddenly had a crush on Esther for no reason, and the guy from the Inquisitorial Department decided to team up with them, so they magically found a hotel that would take in three Terrens and a little Methusela kid (perhaps it was a vacant private residence? Never explained...). Then, Radu, Ion's childhood friend-turned creepily yoi bromance partner-turned rebel-turned right wing super Rosen Kreaut anti-Terren Nazi-turned randomly blue-haired evil uncaring dumbass anti-Terren fanatic..... Dies. At the hands of the lady of the Inquisitorial Department. For no reason. Then, he magically comes back, with no explanation, and turns out he's working for the Rosen Kruets, and can make living blue flame burst out of his hands. Then he hijacks (also with no explanation as to how he managed it) one of the Inquisitorial Department's giant Gundam Robot things, and shoots Ion in a frenzy of maniacal rage. And Ion.... Dies. In Esther's arms. And then Abel randomly shows up, turns into the Crisnu (or however you spell it), drinks Ion's blood in a gravity-defying tornado-ball, then destroys the giant robot with Radu in it. So Radu.... DIES. And then Abel comes down, reaches for Ion for no apparent reason, Esther screams, "Noooo!" and then he stops, starts crying, and wails that he is a horrible person, while the dying Inquisitorial guy watches.... NEXT EPISODE!!!! None of that, apparently, even HAPPENED!? Everyone (Abel, Esther, and Ion) is happily flying in a giant air ship to Ion's house where they will talk to the Empress about organizing peace with the Vatican. There is no mention of anything that happened in the last episode, and NO explanation as to how the Hell Ion is still alive!? But whatever, tralala, they all go to Ion's grandmother's house, and guess what, everybody's dead. A whole bunch of reanimated vampire corpses (redundant, maybe?) with axes and scary gas masks have killed everyone, including his grandmother, and now Ion is being framed for the murders. Because a three-foot-tall twelve-year-old equivilent vampire kid could do that. Whatever. So Ion and Esther and Abel run away to a previous character's house, and then Abel goes to the queen, who is NOT really the queen, but who is she, we don't find out. Then Abel magically gets back to the others, who have no idea, apparently, that he left and went to the capital city. Then Ion and Esther walk around the town for NO APPARENT REASON, get lost, meet a little tea seller girl named Seth, oh no, she's a medical student, oh no, she's an assassin/airbender or something? Then Ion and Esther have a musical montage while sightseeing out the window (seriously) and then Radu shows up again!?!?!?! And he's got blue hair now, and then Abel show up and he runs away. WHAT IS GOING ON!?

A. It makes more sense in the end, you just need to keep watching. Some of the broken up parts is because that is how it ended and scenes changed in the book. The other problem, as to the story making sense is that there are two book series with the same characters. Which is fine, but they decided to slap them together into 1 anime series... which does not help much. Look Trinity Blood is worth watching once, but anymore than that.... no. It does have plot holes, but many anime do, its just something you have to ignore in order to enjoy anime more.

What is the Best City in Ireland?
Q. Next summer I'm taking a trip around Europe and was just wondering, what is a good place to go in Ireland because that is one of the places I'm going.

A. If you're looking for tourist attractions, then definitely Dublin. Its the capital city of Ireland and has an abundance of places to see and visit. Including one of the largest parks in Europe - Phoenix Park- which is also the residence of the Irish President. Also Dublin has a very vibrant nightlife and a lot of entertainment venues, notably Temple Bar. Stephen's Green, located in central Dublin contains many restaurants, cafes, shopping centres and hotels. And a 5 minute walk away from there will bring you to one of the oldest colleges in Europe-Trinity College. Its a must see, its massive! Also Dublin has many options for transportation for tourists, including tour buses which will let you explore Dublin for a very cheap price and learn its rich and varied history, there are even Viking buses!
