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…

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.

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'…

I've always liked vampire anime so when this came out on Netflix I was interested. After watching this anime I felt very confused. This anime had so much going on at the same time, sometimes it was too much to keep up with. I wouldn't say that this was a bad anime, I just think its an ok anime. It was rushed and a lot to follow. I wouldn't highly recommend it but if you're just looking for something to watch this is a nice anime to try because it doesn't have to many episodes. Because of this, I give Sirius the Jaeger a 6.

Steampunk vampire series. Need I say more? I'm in! Unfortunately there's some problems with execution in the process that hindered the fun of this show.
The good, style! I loved the character designs. The environments they get to play in are varied and interesting. There are lots of cool fights. Everything you'd want is there, so where's the unfortunate part?
This show has a serious pacing issue. It moves a mile a minute, never taking the proper time to set up conflicts and build the stakes. By the time you get to the climax, you don't really know what will happen if the bad guy wins, you just know it will bad, and that is supposed to be enough.
They flesh out a handful of the key players and the rest of the not that massive cast of heroes and villains are lucky if they a couple minut…

This is a good anime to watch if you are trying to kill time and are okay with a 12 episode binge spree. This anime is nothing new in the Genre where you have 2 main groups, one the vampires and the other the Jaegars which is an organization that hunts vampires. You will notice there are a lot similarities between this and 2 really good anime if you pay attention (FMA and D-grayman).
The story starts out really well and seems unique minus the vampires part where the time and setting is historically based in after WW1 japan. This period in japan is rarely covered in anime so seeing it and watching how japan was really refreshing and the interactions with foreign characters. But then as the story gets going the its seems rushed where in the beginning its slow and at the end everything come…

Well this anime gives off a lot of Itachi Uchiha vibes. If you're into that sort of anime which is action packed as well i'd recommend this.
Its pretty good but i personally feel that the overall story is kinda lacking.
Also as a side note i find some characters just straight up annoying and useless.
It kinda pisses me off and takes away from the immersion.
The art is pretty good and does give off some castlevania 'anime' vibes.
Its pretty gore intensive as well and there's a lot of action which helps keep you engaged in the anime.
The music is pretty sweet tbh and i really enjoyed it. It added an extra layer of immersion to the action scenes.
Overall i did enjoy this anime and its pretty good

Animation are sometimes really good and sometimes really bad.
Character and sound are fair. Each one of them has their own personality, but does not really effect the story line, and never deeply develop.
The really main problem is the story: boring, old, predictable, and stupid characters.
You are able to know exactly what is going to happen by watching just a few episodes.
Spoiler for Stupid scene:
It is just simply a hero movie where stupid bad guy trying to take some power, and how the main character save the world (but the bad guy have no idea about what power it is, and DID NOT GET ANY POWER AFTER GETTING THE POWER, BUT HE LOST HIS MIND BECAUSE THE POWER IS TOO STRONG. Seriously?)

The action was super awesome, the fights mainly involved martial arts which was really nice to watch. Ending felt a bit rushed, but then again only had 12 episodes can't blame them if it ever gets second season they might make up for it. There was potential romance which I kinda enjoyed but they didn't expand on it which would've been sooo much better. There were quite a few things they showed but didn't talk a lot about, again this leave potential for a better second season. The story was different for sure, but some aspects were similar to other stories. Really good visuals and overall I enjoyed it as a nice side anime, nothing that makes it stand out from others, maybe the fact that its about vampires and werewolves but they didn't really call them "werewolves" and that is something we…

I came into this series with low expectations and came out with an extremely mixed set of feelings.
Having binge watched this series over the course of three or so days, I can safely say this is probably the most mediocre anime I have ever seen. That's not to say it's bad, but that is to say it's nothing special or groundbreaking at all either.
In short, it's a fairly poorly executed idea for an original anime series with some high hopes from its backers, a respectable studio at the helm, but just an absolutely poor execution of just about everything in this series, from start to finish.
My immediate complaint with this series when I first started it was the amount of information, names, and players being dropped on us that felt like an overload of information, a confusing mess for what…

Sirius the Jaeger is yet another vampire anime to add to the list. But, in this case, it's a good vampire anime that does a lot of things right.
So, as far as the story, it's pretty good. There's a group of Jaegers (vampire hunters) doing their job plus some related drama with the main character and a hometown relic. At first, some things don't really seem to be closely related. It starts out with somewhat of a broad story line and then things become more connected.
Most of the characters don't really change. Yuliy is somewhat of a copy of Yuuichiro Hyakuya (from Seraph of the End). Both of them are apart of a group that kills vampires and they start out with revenge being their only reason to live. Also, that reason to live changes as the series progresses. There are some differences…

There are a few popular titles like Owari no Seraph, Rosario to Vampire and Hellsing, but i’d still say we’re lacking a good vampire show. Our latest addition is Tenrou: Sirius of the Jaeger, which is the show I’ll be analysing in more detail. Warning, this contains spoilers
Story: 7
The story follows the secret organisation called the ‘Jaegers’, a vampire hunter group who kills vampires, and have been tasked in finding the secret artefact called the Ark of Sirius, before the vampires who are also trying to get their hands on it.
The ark is stated to be a national treasure from the village called Dogville, which contains immeasurable power and anyone who possesses can become “a god or a devil”. Basically, the ark serves as a plot device that gathers both sides into the conflict to advan…

This anime confuses me so much.
As some others have pointed out, it's rare for PA Works to go into this kind of action, thriller anime.
It started out brilliant. The first few episodes were clever. It made no shounen anime-like pitfalls, no cringes, and very clever directing, full of unexpected and interesting cuts. I was sure that this would be a strong runner for the best anime of the season.
But from this anime, I realize a lot of series could be measured using a two-number metric. The first number is the episode where you cringe for the first time. The second number is the episode where you feel like everything is falling apart; the art quality is no longer brilliant, the directing is no longer interesting, the plot has succumbed to cliches and boring tropes, the characters no longe…

The nature of P.A. Works is defined by the company's ability to sustain itself with primarily original works with only the odd adaptation here and there with major influence by the company itself. And so here we're presented with 'Sirius the Jaeger', P.A.'s take on vampires and a war against them.
Story:
In the town of Dogville lies an ancient artifact known as the 'Ark of Sirius', an object filled with such insurmountable power that all major countries in the world (seemingly) wish to possess it. It's here where we meet the last Sirius, Yuliy, and the vampire hunting Jaegers who try to uncover and thwart the plan of the vampires that've set foot in Nihon land in search for the Ark for unknown reasons.
Spanning a vampire defeating plot that lasts a cour, Sirius is a show set in 1930's…

Watching this series reminded me so much of spectacular vampire-supernatural series that have gone by like Hellsing Ultimate or Owari no Seraph. It's a good series through and through, and although there are many whom have milked the genres and put their own spin on it (only to fail badly), Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger offers something up its sleeve to the point of being captivating, and yet being so underrated.
Story:
Similar to series like Princess Principal for the old 20th Century London-esque time period, we have the usual Van Helsing or Constantine type of shows, where said person arrives in some place that is chock-full of vampires to hunt, then meet up with people (presumably the Japanese government) that liaise to do and deal the same treatment: investigate, plan, seek, kill and des…

You know what we have a lack of lately? Good vampire anime. Which is a shame because vampire anime can be diverse from the typical Horror anime to a more light hearted comedy anime. Normally, vampire anime land in the former with vampires either being the main villains or just being bad asses as the main character. Thankfully, P.A works has given us a vampire anime following a group of vampire hunters hoping to wipe them all out and stop any plans that they may have. But is the anime just style or does it have substance as well?
Sit back, relax and burn all copies of Twilight and then show the fans what a real f*****g vampire looks like as I present to you the anime review of Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger.....wait. When did they decide to change the name? Oh never mind. Lets begin shall we?…

Once in a while, I tend to enjoy a vampire theme show that is packed with action heroes and drama. Unfortunately, I can’t remember any series of similar nature that intrigued me from these past few years. Many of them run with recycled concepts that includes Beauty and the Beast romance tales or the same survival themes over and over again. Then came along this show called Sirius the Jaeger.
It’s quite unusual for P.A. Works to jump into a show with a vampire genre. They’re mostly known for their slice of life shows and coming of age stories. Sometimes, they can pull out a surprise or two like Spring 2016’s Kuromukuro. However, this isn’t mecha so you’re not going to encounter giant robots. Instead, Sirius the Jaegar deals with a time of crisis when vampires are on the loose in the city.…
