A good, short anime.
Sirius the Jaeger is the kind of anime that’s perfect for a weekend binge-watch. It’s short, features great animation and an interesting story, and doesn't require you to follow a plot spanning dozens of episodes. I wouldn't call it an exceptional masterpiece or something that will stay with me for years, but it is a highly competent experience that delivers exactly what it promises.
One of the anime's biggest strengths is undoubtedly its aesthetic. The historical setting is beautifully crafted and fits the story's premise perfectly. The chosen era offers a visually pleasing look, with scenery, costumes, and architecture that help establish a unique identity for the show. There is a clear effort to make the world feel authentic to that time period, which makes the ex…

This anime was interesting even starting from the description and the outset, set in the 20th century with a character who is supposed to be from some outback organization fighting for a higher cause... that cause being the ark of Sirius and the organization band being Jaegars. Our protagonist main character, Yuliy is participant in these matters, because he is focused on in this series not as a fighter and combater of vampires, but also someone who is carrying some torch from a cause that has long since stopped.
The implementation of the vampire tag, is so interesting being that vampires have not only infiltrated a society having not yet gain dominances, and not blending in like a good chunk of anime similar to it, they are banding together to compete with the band, Jaegars to ostracizin…

Sirius the Jaeger is a cool, creative take on vampires and the activity of hunting them, notable most of all for its pretty outstanding production value, the anime only held back by the sense that those responsible for its story didn't quite know how to finish it. beginning with the story, Sirius the Jaeger presents us with a bustling world with secrets just beneath the surface, alive with intrigue and mystery, and wreathed by the supernatural. Vampires exist, and coordinate together to victimize humans and eventually rule the world, while various organizations of so-called jaegers exist solely to hunt them all down. It's a great setup, and for most of the show provides an excellent formula for continued suspense and action-packed staying power. It also blends classic horror tropes with th…

As it follows the textbook rule of other animanga I've seen which involve revenge, there's a clear establishment of Yuliy's purpose to why he acts the way he does, but his ideals genuinely develop into something pretty interesting with each episode. A few other characters have notable personalities as well. I mean you can only do so much with 12 episodes, but it's still possible to create watchable content within this constraint. I won't sit here and lie and say this is absolutely the greatest thing I've seen in my life, but it accomplishes making do with its runtime telling a story. A special and heartfelt one about tradition and its relevance in face of new values, societal injustice and conflict. It also looks like Bungou Stray Dogs, so if you like that aesthetic and want to experience…

This anime would have greatly benefitted from more episodes! On that note, here is a fanmade WEBCOMIC reboot of the series with altered plot and added details:

The main cast is the same, but the characters have more detailed personalities and backgrounds. Action, drama, some wholesome moments and occasional humor included.
If you've already seen the anime, it's worth checking it out, and if you haven't, you definitelly should.
Many compare this anime to Wolf's Rain (and end up disappointed because they expect werewolves), but the series is advertised as a vampires vs vampire hunters anime, which it delivers successfully. The main character just happens t…

Sirius made me realize something that'd been on the back of my mind for a while now, like a sneeze that won't quite come out. In a way, I feel like that describes the series in a nutshell.
The plot is the story of all time: a protagonist driven by revenge and a tagtag bunch of misfit hunters race against several factions to obtain a McGuffin, one of which involves the MC's sworn enemy, and which acts as the... antagonist, I guess. Now, formulas work for a reason: you just have to know how to work around them. Tales as old as time will continue to be retold for generations to come, and thousands, millions will fall into obscurity, while a few will survive, even if not by name, as inspiration for future artists. As a creator, which one would you rather be? How do you wish to achieve that? W…

Honestly it started ok with the first episode, but then the story felt extremely rushed. It felt like I was missing episodes, heck hole story plots. It just jumps from one thing to another with no prepose. There a bare bone story here. There is not a lot to say about this anime's story. Other than I have seen this story done before and WAY better than this.
It's just pretty moving art at this point. There's is nothing else here. It's so boring and incredibly bland.
I honestly wouldn't waste your time with this show. I know I have.
Be good or be bad, just don't be boring!
I hate dying of boredom in the things I watch.

And I think we have a serious contender for the biggest letdown ever. Whole 12 episodes we've been getting a serious buildup with revenge, characters developing, learning acceptance, adventuring, then seriously badass vampires. For what? The whole show just collectively farted in our face, laughed and went on as if by saying "gotcha... tee hee".
Story felt like an elaborate scheme to trick us into watching it without us really having any desire to. For the most part everything was more than capable. Character development, world building, pacing, animation, sound design. Everything was decent if not better but it all amounted to absolutely nothing. Story someone else has to tell some other time but on this occasion studio just wanted to get you warmed up.
There's not even a witty comment…

Uhm after a long time, I searched and traveled about anime. an anime. that can satisfy me in terms of everything.
I watched this on netflix and of course on the recommendation of netflix itself, so you should watch it on Netflix too ~
From the characters, all the characters here are like any other characters or characters that you know. they are friends, they fight and unite because of fate or the mediator, they laugh together, support and help each other.
Especially the brother and sister characters and the little brother who is extraordinary, extraordinary for his last duty and obligation to his tribe and brings extraordinary events and miracles.
Secondly, the graphics and visuals? hoho this? no need to ask, you will love it especially the sound of the banging of the iron/swords, the…

I watched it hoping for a more mature and interesting take on vampires but got a story of a girl (Ryouko) stalking the main character whenever he went to instead. Even the ending somehow involved her even though she didn't really contribute much to the story. Honestly, her bahaviour was appalling yet everybody in the anime cheered for her wtf.
Anyway, the story itself left a lot to desire. The ending ruined any hope I had for it too. Apart from the uninteresting love interest, the conclusion of the first season didn't make me want to see more of the series. I was bored watching last 3 episodes too.
The only saving grace of it, for me, would be Philip, Dorothea and Fallon who I thought were actually interesting and nice buddies. Though this saving grace didn't actually save anything, ju…

To put it simply the word 'shallow' perfectly encapsulates the show.
Story (4/10):
The setting is fairly interesting (Imperial Japan) and so would seem the premise of the story itself but neither is explored much. The worldbuilding is at best lackluster - The show goes through a lot of events, multiple locations and features a fairly big cast all in just 12 episodes, no wonder it feels flat when it has spread itself so thin.
There's basically no context for what is happening outside setting up the protagonist and the story is both too all-encompassing to be a proper journey of a person, and too personal and restrained to be about the wider world Sirius the Jaeger is set in. Juggling so many things it just sort of ends up all over the place and feels rushed and aimless in the end.
Characte…

This is a vampire action anime with a nice setting of the 1930s, one of the anime's strongest points is the overall atmosphere of the pre world war 2 ambience which is embedded splendidly into the animation of the show.
Story
The story is average at best and it is out of place for the most part, it felt like some subplots were a lot more interesting than the actual main plot. The first few episodes start on a good note but around episode 7 everything seems to get random and weird in a bad way. Everything gets weirdly rushed with little to no explanation of most plot elements. There is no build up for anything after the first few episodes where there were some actual extremely enjoyable and strong plot lines but that build up is completely gone towards the end and it becomes dull, boring…

I do not usually write reviews, and in fact this is going to be my first one. It made me extremely sad how criminally underrated this anime is. my review is going to be short, but i hope i can make my point clear.
Once in a while we may find anime that gives us utmost enjoyment, reminds us why we even started to watch anime in the first place and why we love it so much. Sirius the Jaeger is exactly the anime, that reminded me of that. I do not remember, when was the last time i got so hyped about particular anime from the first episode. Sirius the Jaeger has almost everything, Art, Story, Action, Sound were splendid. The only thing i wished throughout watching this series, was that it would be longer and for more background character development. The story may be fast-paced for some view…

Not going to lie, I was an edgy wanna-be goth when i was a kid. I thought Blade, Underworld and Hellsing, and anything vampires and bloody witchcraft sacrifice was the coolest shit of all time. Ultra-violent media was the needle into my veins.
The first episode to Sirius the Jaeger kind of sent me hurtling into nostalgia, I thought it was a pretty strong initial impression. Cool fight scenes, walls in the scenery are perfect canvas for blood splatter, and perhaps some stereotypical but still cool characters with a little political intrigue. But the thing about nostalgia is that the longer you stare at it, the more the Vaseline blurry sheen fades away, and you realize it ain't all you remember.
I think if I was fifteen years old, and not the closer and closer to thirty year old I am, I wo…

NO SPOILER SECTION: This show IS worth the watch. To preface, for personal enjoyment, any anime with an interesting plot and world has to stoop pretty low for me to not just "enjoy" it. I would rate this an 8 in terms of watching for leisure, but objectively speaking, this show is a 4 that misses the mark thoroughly. If you watch with the mindset of character development, and larger scale plot creation, it's a 0.
Sirius the Jaeger is a short and sweet anime that will definitely keep you hooked with colorful visuals, intense plot twists (more so the beginning of the story), and very intriguing character dynamics. However, the show is HEAVILY flawed with the amount of opportunities missed and the show lacks to find depth in a way that really hits hard. The review hardly hits all the possibl…

Plot: The plot basically follows around a group of Jaegers (german for hunter) who’s main goal is to eliminate the vampires. They all have different reasons that are revealed in the throughout the story. The main plot though surround Yuliy, whose goal is to avenge in family, but lets just say that there was a lot of stuff in the background that he was unaware of that makes it so that killing vampires isn’t the exact revenge he should be seeking per say. Since this is spoiler free I can’t go into detail, but this series really keeps you on your toes with the mysteries, cryptic backgrounds, and just wondering how a certain relationship (not romantic) will end!
Character: I liked how all the characters came from different backgrounds/ethnicities. Though it really didn’t play too much of a ro…

Story:
I rated the story of this anime a 6 because there felt like a lot of storylines that popped out of nowhere. They didn't particularly explain the major parts of the story very well in my opinion; for example, I didn't really understand what a Sirius was or what the significance of the Ark was until several episodes in (which is fairly significant, considering the anime is only 12 episodes long).
Art:
The art of this anime was gorgeous. This show is visually stunning, particularly the eyes.
Sound:
I enjoyed the soundtrack of the anime greatly and felt that it was fitting for the time period of the show (~1930s).
Character:
The characters are not anything special in my opinion. I honestly don't remember the names of the other Jaegers except for Philip. Because of the fact that it is…

I've had this anime on my "to watch" list for a bit (since I first saw the trailer actually), and seeing as my school year was finished and I didn't have much else to do, I thought I'd go ahead and watch it. And my overall feeling was that the anime doesn't really live up to what the trailer seemed to promise. I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this anime to a certain extent, and the vampire hunting aspect of the trailer was clearly there, but the anime seems to be lacking a certain "je ne sais quoi".
The story is somewhat stable: Yuliy (the writers were probably going for the Russian-sounding "Yury", but hey, that's just my theory) is part of a globe-trotting Vampire-exterminating outfit which is based in London. They track down a head Vampire in Shanghai, who then scuttles off to Jap…

Ahhh this anime frustrated me; because SO many elements were done wonderfully. But there were just some foundational things that made it a complete mess.
Let's start with the good:
1. Character Design and Setting--BEAUTIFUL. All the characters are visually bright, diverse, interesting and modern despite the time period of the setting. Quite a few hotties here, and that's never a bad thing.
2. Action-- FANTASTIC! From the start, it's fast-paced, engaging and there are many moments where I was literally on the edge of my seat. There's a fairly badass train scene that I watched multiple times, actually.
3. Story (Kind of)--There's also some bad with this, but this is the "good" section so let me focus. The back story in particular was very well crafted. It made me care, and I easily beca…

Oh Lord, where do I begin with this anime.
First things first, I have a bit of a weak spot for trashy vampire animes. I'd had my eye on this one for a while and finally decided to boot it up on Netflix to play in the background while I worked. I was a bit concerned at first that I might miss parts of the plot, but...yeah...I'll get to that.
So Sirius the Jaeger is basically another Vampire vs Werewolves show with a magical macguffin that one side wants to use to have ultimate power, blah, blah. It's far from groundbreaking, but that's part of the fun. The first few episodes are really good and fun to watch and I binged all of the way to episode ten without hesitation.
When it's good, this show is on a potential par to shows like FMA (some arcs of it really reminded me of FMA). When it'…
