Indeed, Trinity Blood makes a huge Biblical reference in naming their main characters. The whole anime revolves around a drama played by the siblings: Cain, Abel, and Seth.

In the anime series, Evangelion, the first 2 so called "angels" to land on Earth were named "Adam" and "Lilith." A huge twist in the Evangelion series happens near the end when the last angel tells mankind that we are, in fact, born of Lilith, not Adam and Eve. How's that for a mega-twist?

There was also an anime a few years ago called Ah! My Goddess. The main characters in this anime were named Skuld, Urd, and Belldandy. These names were taken from Norse mythology. The Norns (named Skuld, Urd, and Verthandi) were the sisters who weaved fate and chance.

Anime writers do their homework well. They like to weave in factual and mythological data and legends with fantasy and twists to produce fantastic stories that teeter between what is believable and what is wondereful fantasy. There is no entertainment like it in the United States.
