Owari no Seraph Seson 2 was great. I just thought of the final fight between the humans and the vampires to be very bad. It could have ended better that for example guren to turn back to hes normal self, they also could have made it that kimizukis sister was saved and some others. But all in all the story was amazing the main characters designs were incredible. I love yuu as a character hes a really nice fighter and a great addition to the team.
If you guys have something to add plz comment on the review i will gladly read them.

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
A few weeks ago, I shared a meal with my grandparents, brother, and other cousins. During the dinner, we talked about all manner of topics. Our grandfather’s brother named Georgie. The notion that bigger teeth brings beauty later in life. How awesome that grand meatball tasted.
At one point, the topic turned to familial connections, the bonds we share with each other. I stated that I would die for them. They are my family, so this statement sounds obvious. At least, I hope it is obvious for most.
I sincerely believe it. Strangers pass by. Friends come and go. But family. Family is forever. Yu of Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen believes the same. Unfortunately for Yu, he does not get to have dinner-made convers…

This review will not contain any heavy spoilers. I will mostly comparing how things are in this season than the first season.
"More fujobait but gets way better than the first season."
Story : 9/10
It gets way better than the first season. We got a lot more backgrounds on what's happening. The start are kinda slow and filled with daily lives of them in the main basecamp and some events to tie up the "Yuu's awakening" incident. The main story kicks in a few episodes later where they are sent to Nagoya for war, hence the season title. The finale was also as great as the first season.
Art : 9/10
The art are as good as the first season with oily hand-drawn paintings as backgrounds, and it meshes well with the animation that used thick lines as borders. The animation also got better, no more…

Sound 3
I cannot recall anything of the music from either seasons. That's a bad sign.
Art 6
While some scenes were very nicely animated, I just don't like the character designs at all and nothing really stands out for me.
They did this thing a lot where they'd have this painted background but then the actual characters would be brightly and clearly animated in front of it. The contrast was just really jarring.
As for character designs....Ugh. The main character could not have a more generic main character design. Black spiky hair. Angry-looking most of the time. Some nice green eyes. He was just so generic, and I haven't even gotten to his personality yet.
The blonde pig-tailed girl also had a terrible character design. Every time she'd come on screen I'd shield my eyes or try to a…

I just finished watching Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya which is the second season of the show. I said I would review it and here it is. So are my problems with the characters fixed? Does the second season improve all of the first season’s flaws? Let’s find out!
(If you have not seen the show yet I suggest you do so or at least watch the first season since I will be talking about the ending of the first season)
Story:
The second season picks up right at the end of the first season with Yuuichirou fully healed and everyone going back to business as usual. That is until they find out that there is corruption in the army and are sent to Nagoya to take down a huge vampire army. The majority of episodes in this season are about the battle in Nagoya (hence the name) and that is pretty muc…

Owari no Seraph is the worst anime I have ever watched, after the mediocre season 1 ended it was hard to see whether the production company could do any worse. OMFG it got worse. The animation is poor at times.
The sound sometimes seems out of sync.
By episode 10 it is an utter snooze fest - plot lines are predictable, stupid at times because absolutely nothing made any sense.
Characters are lifeless and wooden, they took Mika's character and shit on it.
WTF, where did the King of Salt come from? Was to try and emulate my emotions while trying to force myself to watch this pile of shit?
For something that was supposed to emulate AoT, it seems a crime to even compare the two.
3/10 - I hope this burns in hell for all eternity!

I wish this was not a second season and a continuation of the first season making it a total of 24 episodes that I could have rated better altogether, unfortunately that was not the case. The reason for this, is that I would have had a better Overall rating than I gave for each season on it's own. After watching the first season it was understandable that the setting needed to be revealed and back stories needed to be told, etc... so I saw it to be a little slow until it got some action after 2/3 of the anime had passed. So then I rated it a 7. I'm almost done watching this second season I know I I'll be giving it a 9. There were parts where I was anxious, surprised, concerned, sad, and I even cried a little. This season gave me what I wanted and I enjoyed it very much.
It made me feel ba…

The Story: 10/10

Art: 10/10
Really detailed and good artwork! The background is really nice and detailed.
Sound: 10/10
Good sound effect, the opening is really good.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I'm new to this story and it took me 2 days to complete season 1 and 2. Yup 2 seasons in 2 days. This is very enjoyable
Overall: 10/10
This. Story. Is. Awesome.
Hope there's season 3!

Do you ever have that one anime where you feel many things were going on but still feel like there was no impact? Anime that are of the action genre often come into this dilemma. Ones with an overarching story that tries to make it grand and epic, only to squander it by not giving much to go on. It doesn’t help with a short 12-13 episode season. Considering that Owari no Seraph had a 2nd season in the same year to facilitate its story longer and still come off short is rubbing salt in the wound.
To go back on the first season for a bit, since I never reviewed it, my initial impression of the story was incredibly underwhelming. I thought the way it told a revenge plot involving a boy who wants to kill vampires who killed all of his friends was too simple and drab for me to take seriously.…

*Since there arent really positive reviews i will make one.,and sry bout the spoilers...*
So the story..oh well damn i can say that is full with cliffhangers,large scale battles happen and the characters(especially the MC) grow even stronger.What can i say..it was better,or at least it had more action than the first season.here we see more betrays and a darker humanity.
The art is outstanding as the previous season was.Same with the sound,nothing really different here.
The characters develop deeper bonds also getting stronger along the way.Yuu and Mika are finally together and Asura and Yuu are friends.Sadly we do not see Mika developing more than just becoming a full vampire.The characters develop more as a team not individually and that's a bit sad.I would like to see more backstories…

RE POST AFTER GETTING TAKEN DOWN
I watch this show like its heroin
Out of all the fall/winter shows of 2015-2016, this is one of my favorites (one punch man is the other one, but lets save that for another time shall we!).
I cum a bit in my pants every time i hear the theme song (I could impregnate the world with the amount of times)
________________________________________________________
Now lets move on to the more educated side of my argument... Story: i want to say like 9 or 10, but its kinda an 8 (8.5 tops)
The theme of the show is, "family comes first", for all those who didn't have those annoying 11th grade theme analysis essays basically the show is a battle field of pain but it is the strong bonds that the characters have to one another that allow them to have a will to go o…

Seraph of the End is pretty dark for a shounen series. People can straight up die when you least expect it, make gruesome sacrifices, fight desperately to their last breath, and make positively evil schemes. But all of this is what makes Seraph of the End so interesting.
The story of Seraph of the End gets more interesting in this second season as we learn a lot about Yu, meet new characters and experience shocking plot twists and meet new antagonists. I was very shocked at the character who reappeared at the last episode, and are very interested about the past of a certain Lieutenant Colonel. As always, Seraph of the End's story this second season was very good and kept me interested to the very end.
The art of Seraph of the End continues to be superb, as always the animators over at Wi…

We return to post-apocalyptic Japan, where years earlier, all humans over the age of 13 were killed due to a mysterious illness. Yuuichirou Hyakuya and the rest of the Shinoa squad are now full-fledged members of the Moon Demon Company, [supposedly] one of the most elite military groups in the Vampire Extermination Unit. This season focuses on the battles that take place in Nagoya, a territory that has been overrun by the vampires.
Owari no Seraph first gained popularity as a less edgy version of the popular and wildly overrated anime Shingeki no Kyojin. Obviously the shows are very different, but the parallels certainly are there; some kind of supernatural threat (vampires, in this case) took over the world and wiped out a large portion of the human population. Humans survive by living i…

Generic: such a simple word, yet one that can also encapsulate a great deal of information with its utterance. Simply attach it to the title of a show and it works as a description without any need for further elaboration. Just say "it's generic" and a picture is immediately imprinted onto the minds of the audience as to what is to be expected. It's even better saying it out loud, follow after me and let's say it together:
"Owari no Seraph is generic!"
Now doesn't that just roll off the tongue with so much ease? Fits like a glove doesn't it? It's like the word itself was tailor-made for this show. And perhaps that word is all that's needed to sum up this series.
There's really no change when it comes to this ill-conceived hogwash of clichés and overused tropes. It's still a poor man's ve…

My Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen Hen review.
Ratings:
Story: Fair 6.
Art: Good 7.
Sound: Fair 6.
Character: Very Good 8.
Enjoyment: Fair 6.
Overall: Good 7. Now that this sequel is over, why can I say about it? Well:
Story (up)
I gave it a fair, because it was still connected with the 1st season in an apocalyptic wasteland ( I just exaggerated it) where vampires wanna rule and humans have to survive, but in its general context, the story simply rely on the "Betrayal" theme , where one would think knows who bad and the good were, but as it turns out it wasn't that black and white. In this sequel, it wasn't surprising that in any show with an apocalyptic theme, it would always have an open ending.
Art (up)
Well what can I say, it's the usual quintessential for any anime or manga to o…

I like to write my reviews to the point and with little bullshit, so, i'll get to it. This show isn't as bad as some say, and not as good as some say. If people say it's bad they are over exaggerating cause it's better than a lot of the slice of life plague or poorly put together anime adaptations of ecchi mangas. And it's certainly not an epic that everyone should watch. However, that's not to say you shouldn't watch it.
If you're a fan of action anime, this is probably your cup of tea. If you're more of a story kind of guy well then you might have to force yourself to drink the tea, but leave with the word of "meh" filling your mind and will probably re-evaluate your choices in tea.
This show got kind of hot and heavy in this second season, which is was fine and dandy. Problem is it g…

Ah, Shonuen. For most, it's the gateway genre into anime as beating the shit out of people through epic action sequences with swords, magic, what have you is quite amusing to many, and the power of friendship or something like that is also quite fun to watch, apparently. But then you have series that just...sort of push the envelope on what they want to do and it just sort of...falls flat.
Story: Picking up from where the first season of Owari no Seraph ended off, Nagoya, as I'll call this second season continues our adventures of our merry family of vampire killers as they come across more secrets, more vampires, and well...a lot of spare blood dying.
Owari no Seraph has a very glaring issue when it comes to storytelling, and that is balance. Like the season before it, Nagoya focuses h…

Owari no Seraph is back. Initially, I was disappointed with the first season. With heavy amounts of exposition and lack of charisma for quite a bit of episodes, my expectations going into the sequel wasn’t high. However, season 2 turned out to be pleasantly different. No, I wasn’t expecting this to be a significant improvement but it does set its foot a bit further than mediocrity.
Branded as a sequel, it’s absolutely imperative to be familiar with the first season to get the full experience. As the title implies, the majority of the second season takes place in Nagoya, a city on the surface that is also home to noble vampires. Originally, it was actually home to humans until the Apocalypse. What is the Apocalypse? For a brief recap, it’s pretty much when a lethal epidemic wiped out a maj…

Ladies and Gentlemen this is a rare example of a perfectly mediocre anime. Flawlessly bland, exquisitely insipid, wholly vapid. Watching Owari No Seraph is like eating air, there is simply no taste, good or bad.
Owari No Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen is the uninspired continuation of an anime that should never have been made.
Story:
Lets recap. A mysterious virus wipes out most of humanity and vampires come out of the woodwork to wage war on the surviving humans. Yu, our cliche shounen, hotheaded/immature/cocky/must-protect-everyone protagonist, has joined humanity's army to fight the vampires. He really really hates vampires for killing his childhood friends. He really really wants to protect his friends too. The second half starts after he unleashes his mysterious superpowers on the vam…

Micro review:
The characters are shallow but the story is interesting.
Do not watch this anime if you don't like waiting for answers to plot points. Do not watch this if you only plan to watch a few at a time.
This anime requires a binge session to finish it as it can get tedious, but it is (kinda) worth it.
Story: 5
Art: 7
Sound: 7
Characters: 2 Enjoyment: 5
I have now finished this anime and as such my review has changed, slightly.
I will leave my old review up as I still agree with it as i wrote it, 9 episodes in. Go to the bottom for full season review.
Up to episode 9:
[Such a waste of an intriguing plot idea and character (Mika)
The first season was not the best, I will admit. Yet I felt that the story had promise and Mika was way underdeveloped.
