<Story by Kagami Takaya> <Animation by WIT STUDIO> <Background Art by studio Pablo> <OP/ED/OSTs by Sawano Hiroyuki>
<Star-studded cast and reliable staff> <Split-cour anime>

All of that and still bordering between average and bad.

Sure it's only been the first 2 episodes but extremely doubtful that this will improve.

More than half here disagree with you. Whatever, just keep watching or drop it. I won't bother to convince anyone to watch this beyond what I'm currently doing.

All of Sawano Hiroyuki's songs sound exactly the same, the ED sounds almost identical to Calling Out Your Name from the SNK OST. Gonna have to expect at least one german song by a female vocalist too. If you play half of Aldnoah Zero's tracks it's pretty hard for me to tell it apart from the rest. The only one of his works that stand out to me is Kill la Kill's, because of lighthearted tracks like Light Your Heart Up and strange electro folk on InuKa3L.

I'm out. I knew it would be bad from the last episode PV, but this was just awful.
I'm with you on this one. The only decent thing about this show so far was Shinoa, but that's nowhere near enough to cover for those forced character developments and poor execution.
I'd go with emobubbles, but someone else already had it, damn bastard.

Shinoa ftw! It's good to know that this show has a good female lead.

Also the opening was full of Mika. Guess it means he will make his return. Looks like he went through a huge change. Can't wait for him to make his re appearance and Yuu's reaction to him.

Seems like this is going to be a good show. I only hope that Mika or the female girl (forgot her name) won't turn up to be vampires later on.

Mika seems to be alive judging from the OP and .. oh who am I kidding, it's painfuly obvious Mika will turn out to be a vamp.

Man, the fight scenes were wonderful. I'm really loving the animation. I loved the OP and ED. So isn't this basically shingeki no kyojin but with vampires? I mean, humanity is being threatened; the main protagonist's family is basically completely dead; the main protagonist has two really good friends (one is slightly apathetic girl and the other is a weak-ish but not really weak boy); the seiyuus for the main protagonist is the same; the protagonists are enlisted to the army to fight the monsters threatening humanity... the list goes on. I do really love this series though. I'm definitely looking forwards to watching the rest of the season!
Oh, and judging from the OP/ED, I'm gonna take a guess and say Mika is going to make a reappearance as a vampire. It's a little cliche, but it'll be interesting to see how the protag deals with it.

Wait, so this is going to be a school themed anime show? I was not expecting that. And this episode was not as good as the 1st one. He got punished because he killed a monster, the punishment was to attend a school and make at least one friend, he got a friend who's a girly boy, & many more questionable things. And I did not like how the lieutenant colonel(& that surveillance officer) turned out to be so comical. They're in the army, right? A very different show than the one I was promised in the 1st episode. And how come the new friend of Yuu accepted to the army so easily just because of that one moment of stupid bravery? My expectation for this anime show just got lower.

And one more thing, what's with the explosion? Where did that come from? It's so irrelevant. Was it there just to make things epic? Come on, Seraph of the End. Please do not let me down again next episode.
I like anime.

Wow excellent episode, the animation was very good, especially the struggles, I like how sentimentality is present in the plot, I think great opening too

I really like the Yuuichirou personality, at the same time gentle, but also stubborn and determined, already Shinoa has a bad personality, is always provoking everyone, but I like your way also

I am very excited with the development and scenes of fighting against vampires ..

Had some sweet vampire action, though if that female vampire really managed to drink the blood I wonder how strong she could've gotten.

I guess Yuu managed to join the CCG... or CCV for that matter..

Second of all, Glen put Yuu there so he can learn to make friends and all that, so I'm not that annoyed by the school setting.

Honestly,I am not annoyed by the school setting, but I am kind of annoyed by the reason why Yuu has to attend school. A pretty ridiculous reason I must say. Sorry.

If the series was only going to be 12 episodes, they should've made episode 1 and 2 into one long episode because it should not take two episodes for him to get accepted into that anti vampire organization. The soundtrack is great, but I hate how a lot of anime spoil the friggin show in the opening (e.g Hyakuya's childhood friend being alive). The school setting being added makes the show lose points because they made it sound like the only way for him to possible make friends is through school and not anywhere else. But on he bright side, the main character isn't the generic beta male you typically see in anime. Hopefully this show redeems itself later on.

So far I am finding this show to be nothing special. I like the premise, but it feels too fast and the character interactions feel lackluster. I understand the idea of teamwork for a highly specialized team, but Yu is clearly skilled, and he has seen more hell than most people, so why the shit-storm? Shinoa has the potential to be good, but if she just constantly calls him an idiot with ok dialogue, she won't be anything new... Guren honestly seems like a bit of a dick, I would like to see a bit more though.
On the whole, dialogue seems sub-par. This show could turn into a generic shounen if it is not careful, it has a lot of potential though.

Really, really, really hope this show doesn't have any BL tendencies, I see potential hints of it already, and I want it to disappear completely.

I liked the action though, it felt fluid without being over-the-top. Contained is the word I am going with.

It actually would be nice if they leave cause being as judgemental/picky as they are, I don't think they're ever going to be satisfied, and obviously they're ruining others' view experience too.

it is a generic shounen, drop all your hopes (and even if it wasn't, going in with low expectations is always more healty)
no BL, just bait for the too sensitive/touchy

Another homophobe in anime community confirmed. Why is a non straight pairing so bad? Obviously Seraph of the End isn't all about that, it also has an interesting premise and action scenes.

Accurate. Normally I wouldn't even bother with a show like this, but prior to airing I saw the likening to AoT, and was hoping it could be a bit more edgy than your average shounen. Expectations drastically lowered, but I will keep watching, for now at least.

Even if I was a homophobe, its my own taste in anime, get over it. You do not get to preach the sanctity of letting everyone have their ideal relationships/opinions while denying mine. Even if mine contradict yours, you either accept an alternate opinion, or naively present a double standard.

I did point out the premise and action scenes by the way.

The show's got some serious issues creeping up in this episode but the biggest one is easily Shinoa. She's such a horrible cow unnecessarily and she's got such an annoying voice. Did they really have to give her the same voice as like every worst girl ever?

Just as fantastic as last episode.

OP and ED were fucking legit. Though, they focus A LOT on Mika and Krul; which I found a bit surprising since Krul really isn't too developed yet. I don't think they'll be changing the story, so I feel like those visuals would've been more appropriate in the second half if anything.

School setting? Ice-cream? 'We don't want you till you find friend?' What the fuck is wrong with this post-apo setting?

If the world population was reduced to 1/10 they would have A LOT helluva different problems. Like weak agriculture, problems with logistic, insufficiency of medicaments, lacking food industry, whole economics crumbling down, and so on.

This show is literally running by the same pattern as SnK. And I had enough.

Guess you missed all of those background images where literally everything outside of their tiny military base city is obliterated.

Good. Fuck you then, stop watching it.

I think people that spread hate in any form are pieces of shit personally that should just stay offline and not join any discussions. Also I love double standards, its pretty much the reason why the world is going to burn :D

Anyway, I'm done ranting since online it accomplishes nothing. If this anime really is something you'll end up liking, then you shouldn't be focusing on one aspect and just ignore it. I hope you do end up liking the anime overall. It seems to be closely adapting the manga and there seems to be plenty of straight ships in the manga as well.
