I'm really sorry to say this, but this is only anime I've watched so far, that I not only cannot recommend, but quite the opposite. Avoid this with 6 foot pole.
I've seen a short from this on Instagram and thought it might be interesting.
I watched first few episodes, kept saying to myself "Okay, next one gotta have something". After sixth episode, I couldn't bring myself to watch another episode. I literally watched last 6 episodes with like 2 week window between each. The story has literally nothing going for it, there is a semi-working plotline, that barely holds this whole thing together. Art is okay, nothing special and definitely not a reason to watch but it was apparent that animators didn't lazy around.
Stakes felt so... overly dramatic for what actually going on, characters wer…

Took until I saw Dr Stein (from Soul eater) to understand what's happening in this show.
So... this one is more of a word vomit than an actual show. The author sat down to write something original but ended up falling on tropes and his favorite characters got mixed in with his OCs.
When watching this I had this itch in the back of my brain telling me I've seen this character before. Stein, as well as Grell from Black butler, are probably the most obvious ones but you also have Sakuya who is practically transplanted from Nanbaka.
Premise here is over-complicated for no reason. There are vampires, they have a master, they are servant vampires. Because Japan love hierarchy there are baby vamps under those as well. There is a lot of talk and specifics thrown in to complicate it but that'…

this show definitely had potential to be interesting if it had a second season or a longer first season, because the concept of "servant vampires" that also themselves have servant vampires is interesting, especially combined with the seven deadly sins theme, but the pacing in this show was an absolute fucking trainwreck. it was almost impossible to keep track of any character's name because as soon as one shows up, so do one or two others immediately after (if not at the same time). the characters are all visually very danganronpa-esque, which maybe could have worked if there was more than one (maybe two or three if you count mahiru's irrelevant friend and the glasses guy from the organization) simple design to balance things out, or if more than a handful of the characters had actual sig…

Was a show I put on in the morning while I was getting ready, so I didn't put my full attention into watching it, but I was able to get the main premise of the show and the characters, etc. Like, was not bad in the slightest, but it was nothing something that I first put on and was like, "omg, I'm going to like this show" which is somewhat disappointing because I had this in my 'plan to watch' section for about three years, and I was waiting for the perfect time to begin it. It is a very typical vampire anime, with very basic storylines and development. if you want a show where you do not need to think while watching it, or to have an anime you can put on in the background while doing other things like getting ready, sweeping or doing dishes, I would recomment it, but its nothing life chan…

In a nutshell this story is about a teenager named Mahiru who finds a stray cat who he finds out to be a vampire. The vampire, Kuro, is a servamp (servant vampire) and they end up making a contract after getting attacked by another vampire. The story follows Mahiru, Kuro, and more people they meet along the way trying to stop the main antagonist Tsubaki from killing and such.
Characters - 9/10
The characters have nice designs. The servamps are basically the seven deadly sins (one of the characters being "the 8th" one) so it's easy to remember them. They don't get into all of their backstories, only Kuro (Sloth) and Hyde (Greed). My favorite character would have to be Licht. I found his personality the most interesting and he was entertaining while on screen. Something I have to note are…

I am not a huge anime viewer and choose to watch it casually, however this was one that was brought to my attention via a club in high school (ahh the great high school anime clubs). I binged the whole series and was quite entertained until the final episode.
It felt like through the entire series we were constantly forced to switch lights between different characters to uncover their unique backstories, however, everything had to be cut off in a strange way, due to the lack of time. The conclusion is absolute garbage and I felt like reflecting on the show as a whole, I know nothing interesting or unique about any of the characters with the exception of Lawless (who gets his own episode).
The characters are all boring and flat and even the characters with some depth like Sakuya and Lic…

(Non-Spoiler Review)
Upon starting this anime, I had high expectations (for some random reason). I'd heard it around enough times that I assumed it would be really good. But boy was I disappointed. Torn between a 6 or a 7, the overall rating I had to give it was a 6.
Most animes peak either in the middle or are great straight off the bat, only to progressively get worse, or (more rare) are good all the way throughout. Rarely ever have I seen an anime slowly get better within 2-3 episodes and then drop back to bad within a couple minutes.
Within about 2 episodes of watching Servamp I had determined that it was a waste of my time. But I pushed through, cause like I said, most animes will pick up from episode 3 onwards at least.
The plot seemed a bit.. childish. The premise was interes…

the anime is okay, not the best but something fun to watch if your bored and wanna watch something with abit of action. However I did not really like the ending and how anti climax it was, how suddenly he doesn't want to fight anymore and lets everyone go and go everything is back to normal? Beside that wierd and wacky ending the character and enjoyment were the only thing keeping this anime going. How some scenes did make me laugh and kept me going, aswell as the characters and how different they are. But also very similar with goals! In the end if you want a good action vampire story 10/10 this is def not the best one but is alright :)

well first review, here goes, some minor spoilers and it probably wont make sense until you watch it
Servamp is an anime about a plain protagonist who enjoys simple things who accidentally takes in a shut-in emo catboy vampire. He has to learn to use his newfound powers as he is now an eve of the servamp of sloth and must defeat the villain guy.
story:
The story is... poor to say the least. The villain was honestly pretty boring and i couldn't undertand his motivations throughout the entire show. The show kept throwing characters at us instead of trying to make us take the plot more seriously. The stakes felt non existant and the resolution felt extremely rushed. I'm not fully sure if something is meant to come after this but is there is it still has a lot of thing it needs to answer. Wh…

Story--8/10. I liked how they showed the characters' backstories.
Art---8/10. It wasn't amazing or anything but I thought it was good
Sound--9/10. bro. The music. I liked it but every time the opening came on the tv and other people were in the room I'd get looks like "Are you okay?"
Character--6/10. Okay well, I frick'in loved Kuro but every time Mahiru or whatever his name is would say something I'd automatically be like "Nobody gives af." And other characters were a little insane but after you find out their backstories it's pretty understandable. And the relationships were good too. I really liked Kuro and Mahiru's relationship.
Enjoyment---10/10. It never bored me, and I never felt like doing something else when I was watching it either. which says a lot cuz I got ADHD. It was fu…

This anime has a very different take on the concept of vampires and the seven deadly sins. It was pretty interesting seeing the concepts and how they unraveled, even though somethings go unexplained or poorly so. Which is overall my main problem with this anime, it felt rushed, it had great potential but I don´t think it was suited to be told in 12 episodes, I believe splitting the anime into at least 2 seasons would have been better as at some point it feels like there are too many subplots or things going at the same time with a quick pacing. There is only one episode however dedicated to one of the Servaps and personally my favorite of the series, it shows how it could have been, it is the slowest paced episode but considering how quickly everything else was going on it allowed us to in…

Servamp Anime Review
By: Tanaka Strike
April 23, 2019
Overall: 7.8
Plot: 7
As long as a human being is alive, there's only one thing that won't change. It's the sin of a human. The story is about seven vampires of which also named as seven major sins. It starts when a student picked a lone beautiful black cat on the way home, not knowing that it was a vampire. Along the serues, a bond between them will grow. And the past which Kuro, the vampire of sloth, wanted to bury will bring into light. There's really no amazing plot, interesting twist of the story, or unexpected turn of events that happen. What excites me is the flashback of their past and the regret felt by the protagonist of the story. The way the story shows that sin is a natural part of life, the people make mistakes and accep…

Oh, I tell you what, this anime doesn't deserve the rating it has right now. It went way beyond my expectations.
The concept of this anime is endlessly interesting to me. Right away, the jumping off point for the plot of this anime was sure to be a success based on the information given to us about Servamps and their Eves. Add on top of that the wealth of interesting characters, and you've got the makings of an awesome anime.
Here's where it went wrong: simplicity (no pun intended for those of you who have seen the anime). Servamp's potential was really strong, but it fell short when it came to expansion. For example, had the anime dug into the history of Servamps a bit more, it would've been a lot more enjoyable. You get the bare minimum that you need to understand the story, but ther…

I was expecting that this anime would suck, but it didn’t. It was able to make me finish the whole season, at least. The story isn’t that solid, even the pacing was all over the place. I won’t say that this anime is the best or bad, it’s at least watchable.
The art and animation was on par with other animes released last year. The action scenes were done poorly. The characters other than the main ones were boring and too 2D. It’s they were just place there. The main characters, Kuro and Mahiru had great character development, especially the latter. I also liked the development of Hyde and Licht, to a point I find them more entertaining than the main duo. I do hope they’ll improve the story in the 2nd season.
If your a fan of bromance and handsome guys, then this anime is just for you.

Plot: 8
Compared to Vampire Knight, at least I got a good action vampire plot from this anime. Having a vampire as a servant is quite cool and it's the first anime I've watched with such theme. Well, in terms of originality, I must deduct points for that because it's kinda of quite your typical master-slave relationship.
Characters: 6
I'll just be discussing some characters here.
Mahiru: A typical must save all peace loving main character. Not fond of him but at he doesn't annoy me as much as the girl in Code Breaker. Shows some character development at the very end of the episodes (somewhere between 10-12ep). However, I felt distant with the character. I don't know much about him. Where's his father, where's his uncle gone too? etc.
Kuro: I kind of like his lazy ass character. At lea…

Not for someone wanting typical anime comedy or drama. This anime is, through and through, a journey of learning about the characters as the characters learn about themselves. It offers you several questions, but doesn't leave you hanging for the answer at the end of the anime. Everything is solved, and yes, the characters are indecisive compared to most stereotypical anime characters. But that just makes it more human. My enjoyment was a definite ten, but I rated it a nine because I always want to believe an awesome story like this can be even better.
Anime like this, with full fledged characters, with unresolved feelings, history, and ideas. Characters with changeable emotions and struggles everyday. Characters that aren't numb, or gag characters, always happy or sad, a stereotypical gl…

I am a bit of a new blogger and reviewer (though I have been into anime and other otaku-related things for quite some time now), so please excuse me if this review is not the best. I will attempt to keep it spoiler free. I will put a warning beforehand if I do include a spoiler.
Story: 7/10
The story was good. Vampires are really nothing new to work with both in anime and in Hollywood and the like. I can't say the story was super new, exciting, and unique, because it really wasn't. Being unoriginal doesn't equate to the story being bad though. As I've said, it is a good story, and it was definitely enough to keep me watching. Basically, Mahiru is our main protagonist. He likes simplistic things, and hates troublesome things. He picked up a black cat who (not really a spoiler since this is…

Hey, so i just finished watching Servamp and wanted to write a review while it's still fresh in my memory. This is my first review btw, so please bear with me.
Story:
The story drags you in from the very first episode, the pacing was perfect, it never felt slow or boring nor rushed like other anime. It has a good plot that it never deviated from and finally culminated into the ending which tied most loose seems together making for a complete and satisfiying ending, with all but a few questions still remaining unclear.
Can't wait for it to get a second season!
Overall 9/10
Art: The character designs are very pretty, crisp and colorful looking,
the animation is very good quality, the battle sequences are smooth and the movements fluid. Character art is pretty consistent and sharp, their…

I'm actually taking the time to write this review because in consideration to the others, this particular show isn't "Bad". I actually gave it a 9.
Why? Well like stated below, the characters are real. Not only based off of their portrayed "labels", but in reality, tell me one time any of us have not crumbled under the "friendship".
also lets remember the ages in these anime. If you are older than 17+...of course you may not feel like it can resonate with you!! the largest watching party is normally in high school or early college!
It gets better, if you already made it to episode 4, i can promise by 5, 6, 7 it slowly becomes a lot like "seraph of the end" and stuff. I get the feeling that this wasn't created by the most professional or experienced artists, so with that in mind...they…

I checked this anime out because it (1) reminded me of Black Butler and (2) the VA's, especially Yuki Kaji. Brief appearances by Hiroshi Kamiya and Daisuke Ono (faves of mine).
The story has a simple pattern to follow, each servamp representing 7 sins and all that. It's not overly complicated. I think it's primarily meant to be a fun anime. It DOES attempt to get "deep" and I don't see anything wrong with that. Most people won't considered it properly executed, and if I was completely unbiased, I would agree.
Given how it only received 12 episodes, it's understandably a RUSHED anime. Friendships build pretty fast by the 3rd episode, and they don't stand if you give it too much thought. The ending will undoubtedly disappoint many. I was (VERY), BUT I plan to check out the manga and hope…
