In a futuristic world of an unsteady truce between humans and vampires a superhuman priest battles to secure a peaceful co-existence. The background is in the distant future after the destruction brought about by Armageddon. The war between the vampires and the humans continue to persist. In order to protect the humans from the vampires, Vatican has to rely on other allies to counter the situation. The protagonist, a priest called Peter Abel Nightroad, travels through the countries as a representative for the Vaticans. However, he is also part of "Ax", a special operations group controlled by the Cardinal Catherina. His encounter with a young girl called Esther will determine the struggle and survival between the human race and the vampires. This is an excellent anime action/horror series set in the apocalyptic future. The series is also great for the October month (close to Halloween), or any month.<br/><br/>Like I said before, I have an interest in ghosts, werewolves and vampires - the key theme for the show. And you know, to me both Father Havel looks like Viggo Mortensen's Aragorn, and Father Leon looks like Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing. In the series, I was surprise the Vatican had survived for over 900 years. When I saw that the Lady Caterina is a cardinal and Esther's (the heroine) mother-figure Laura Vitez is a bishop, I thought: "can a woman be a cardinal or a bishop?" I had gotten confused, so I had asked my grandmother, because she knows about such things about the church.<br/><br/>My favorite episode from the show is episode two, where Father Abel and Tres meet a little girl named Elise Wasmeyer, who has telepathic powers and the ability to take over people's minds. So anyway, I really love this series. I've honestly been a fan of this series since it first aired on Adult Swim way back in the day. The first episode I ever caught was episode 5 "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" and trust me…I've never looked back. If you still haven't seen this series and you're reading this review then please…stop reading. Just stop. Leave this page, go watch the series on YouTube (Funimation has all 24 episodes free to watch) and when you've finished all of the episodes, then you can come back and tell the world the same thing that I just told you. Please don't look anything else up, just experience the magic as it unfolds.
