Servamp

Introduction

Mahiru Shirota firmly believes that simple is best and troublesome things should be avoided at all costs. It is troublesome to do nothing and regret it later—and this ideology has led the 15-year-old to pick up a stray cat on his way home from school. As he affectionately names the feline Kuro, little does he know that this chance meeting will spark an extraordinary change in his everyday life. One day, Mahiru returns home to find something quite strange: a mysterious young man he has never seen before. His subsequent panic results in the uninvited guest being exposed to sunlight and—much to Mahiru's shock—transforming into Kuro! Upon revealing himself as a mere lazy shut-in vampire, Kuro promises to leave once night falls. However, one disaster after another leads to Mahiru accidentally forming a contract with his new freeloader, dragging him into a life-threatening battle of supernatural servants and bloodthirsty beings that is anything but simple.

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…

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…

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 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…

SPOILERS: THIS REVIEW CONTAIN SPOILERS Story: The story center around Mahiru. As a kid that he grew up after his mother is dead his uncle decide to adopt him as his own and learn the phrase "simple is best". Which is a great phrase... That I should learn. Hence he adopt a cat and name him Kuro. One day after coming back from school he found a man in his home watching TV and eating some cup noodle. He warn Mahiru to not to say his name but since this is a shounen anime which I have no idea why this is a shoujo anime. He has to open his mouth and BAM those two are bound together for at 24 hrs unless Kuro have Mahiru blood. Once his friend got stab by a servamp or a servant vampire. He has been bond together as vampire and eve as he try to stop the Tsubaki also the 8th servamp. Art and…

Press CTRL (command if an apple peasant) + F and enter tl;dr :3 Personally I really like Servamp. I thought what little humor it had was done well and the story was gripping enough to make me not drop the show. It was 'just' about gripping enough so don't expect an amazing story just expect to be entertained because this show definitely does that. Now onto the characters. We have Kuro, a vampire who can turn into a cat. Mahiro, a simple guy but quite unique. Sakoya(I think), who is his mate and other various characters. I really liked Kuro and wanted to learn about his backstory from the get-go and I was supplied with it. The rest of the cast are ok and the only others which stand out are Lawless and Licht who are my fav side characters in the show. The opening is really good. Possibly…

I don't really understand why many people dislike this show. I will say it wasn't the best, but it didn't suck. I give Servamp an 8/10. Story: The story wasn't that bad. It didn't have any depth though. It was kinda cliché. MC gets some sort of special something and then tries to save the world. But the whole servamp concept makes up for it. BTW a servamp is a servant vampire if you didn't know that already. I liked the story, it was well written well. Except for the ending, just saying. Art and Sound: The art and sound were not bad at all. But they weren't amazing. The art was average, but not terrible. It was colorful and had some detail to it. And some scenes the art was AMAZING. For the sound, it didn't really stand out to me, but it fitted the show nicely. Characters: I personally…

The top rated review for this being a '3' seems very exaggerated. An anime that is rated a '3' lacks not only in story, but also art, sound and character. Here's why that is not true: Story: 8/10 This is a setting that many have seen before. Normal High School student is met with the supernatural and pulled into a whole different world. So far, it doesn't seem like there is anything too amazing about it. However, I have not yet encountered a story in which said supernatural creature is literally THE most lazy person in the show, which often helps loosen the 'deep' mood that the story is going for with an amusing comment about how he'd rather take a nap than do anything 'bothersome'. Art: 9/10 The animation is great, and the character design is a very favorite of mine. Bright colors, dis…

I just finished watching the last episode, I didn't really like it. I personally think the anime tried to fit what could've been 24 or 25 episodes into 12 episodes. This is because they didn't introduce a lot of the servamps and eves, didn't explain C3 thoroughly enough, and the storyline was kind of unorganized and all over the place. It was very anti-climatic and overall kind of confusing. I also think this anime had poor character development. ~It's one of those anime with great potential, but poor set up (the way things played out wasn't very organized), but that's just my opinion. The character design was amazing (visually) and they had cool and unique features/traits but they weren't developed deep enough. A lot of characters just showed up and had a mini background story, but to m…

TL;DR at the end ~Contains Spoilers~ Servamp is odd. Not the series itself, because it is by no means unique. Just the fact that it was actually published in a Josei magazine baffles me. Who thought it was a good idea? ________________________________________ STORY: 2/10 What do you get when you add 'figthing for my freinds!!!1!!!' with vampires with a survival game? The answer is a clusterfuck of characters and battles with lame motivations who's names you can't remember due to horribly executed master/servant relationships. The plot is very hard to follow at points, but from what I did follow, it wasn't that good to begin with. The conclusion, to top it off, is satisfying. Like, very satisfying. Almost made me wish that the series actually had something good earlier so I could've gott…

This review is made with those who have read some of the other reviews, but are still undecided, in mind. I decided to watch this anime since I remember reading the first couple of chapters of the manga a few years ago. While I have no idea how the manga progressed, considering this anime was only 12 episodes while the manga is still publishing, it's obviously not going to follow the manga to a tee; that being said, that doesn't mean it can't be great on its own. Unfortunately, while I find myself wanting to read the manga, it's because I want to know just how badly the anime screwed things up. Story: 5 The story premise is decent enough, but the progression in the anime was awful. There was one episode towards the end where a good chunk was the backstory of a character that did practica…

Normally I try to keep anime and manga reviews separate but in the case of this series I think the manga needs to be taken into account. I also want to make note that I am HUGELY particular when it comes to anything dealing with vampires so if I liked a vampire series there must be something good about it. Overall I really enjoyed this series. I adore all the characters and being some one that does yaoi shipping all the time I love that this series just hands you the material on a silver platter. This is another series that has a character for everyone to fan over and the voice cast is very spot on as well. The story is also very unique in the idea that the vampires serve the humans they drink from and are bonded to them. It does have a slight black butler feel to it so I feel like fans of…

Looking for a series that constantly likes to add characters and ideas, then let it all pile up and do nothing with them? If that’s the case, then “Servamp” is right up your ally. To make things clear, I do not mind the ideas the show has to offer. I found the concept of Servamps and Eves to be quite interesting. The problem I had with it was how everything was presented. Each episode gave us new subplots after another where eventually we have a bunch of things happening at the same time with almost no conclusion. It then makes me question what the main plot is because when something new happens, that suddenly takes priority. By the time the series finished, many things were left discarded and unanswered. Similar to the plot, the characters never go anywhere in terms of personality. They…

There's no denying that Servamp has some of the usual things that you expect from anything involving vampires like the vampires increased regeneration, strength, etc. I think it was a new idea though to have them bonded to humans, called their eves, and form a pair. Forming a pair made them a little more fragile, but they also got another person to help them and all the pairs shown worked well on their own as well as with other servamp and eve pairs. I liked Tsubaki's development, Kuro's, and Greed's; I also enjoyed how Mahiru and the other eves grew too. The action was also a huge plus for the show, even though it could always be better. Despite how much I enjoyed the show, I think there was too many plot twists. Every-time that they carried out one plan, another huge huge event or just…

At first I just brush off this anime like those typical shounen, blah, plain MC ect. But somewhere through the 3rd and 4th episode, Mahiru grew on me. Not because he is anything special but the way he thinks. I can't deny that Mahiru's words are gonna stick with me the rest of my life. No matter when or where, there is always people hoping that 'someone' would come and because that 'someone' would definitely appear, the world keeps going. It isn't gonna be just him or just Kuro but it will be them. If it's Kuro's problem, Mahiru has to be there, there isn't anything to be faced alone. The problem might be Kuro's but Mahiru is his eve, his partner and his 'reason'. (as Mikuni had said) And seriously, despite everything, do you guys really want this to be 'oh I stab the antagonist, he ded,…

As someone who never read the manga, this at first was an alright vampire anime with pretty good art and character development. Half way through it took a lot of effort just to sit through a whole episode without falling asleep or getting up and doing something else... watched most of the series in 5-10 minute pieces. Started off at about a 7.5/10 but slowly got to about a 4.5-5/10. I was very disappointed that after all the action/anticipation the ending is not completed with a "season finale battle" so to speak. Don't worry, that's not a spoiler to anything but this being a bland anime. Thanks for reading!
