The budget is no excuse they were mostly dialogue scenes with not much action that got skipped.



Yeah, why not include every friggin' line in the manga. Of course it's possible. Hey, here's an idea, if you're so clever, why don't you go and tell those animators, directors, producers and writers how to actually make a proper adaptation. Yeah, you go do that.


The problem isn't that they aren't including every single line.

What we're mad about is the fact that they skipped the G O O D lines and left the N O R M A L lines.

Example, last ep.

"You can also call me Dad" - Guren, Manga.
6 words that, tbh, are quite precious. They add to Guren's character. By this point in the plot, you'd be thinking that Guren is a bad guy that simply wants to use Yu for evil. But that line, in the manga, with it's playfulness and accuracy, can change that. It also sums up how Guren is like the father of the Moon Demon Company. Oh well, why don't we just skip it? :D

There are just too many in this ep and last. It has nothing to do with budget. They have the budget, seeing as how popular the manga is. They're rushing through chapters so they can get to the 'good' part quickly. It's not that hard to understand. If this ever gets a season 3, I pray that Silverlink animates it.

You see, for me thats a bad example. I didnt think much of it & I can tell he's half kiddin already from his tone of voice. Its a complete throwaway line since Gurens charecter is supposed to be shady at this point.
Id rather they kept Kimidzuki's harsh tone toawrds Shinoa ("I wont be ur knight"). But in the grand scheme of things thats not too important either.

Im on my phone at the moment so cant be bothered checking but Im pretty sure theres only 12-13 eps this season. Thats both time and budget constraints right there. Its just not possible to fit in everyones favorite & "relevant" lines.

Yep this episode felt more rushed than the first one. Not that is a bad thing but they are skipping the funny parts which helps in more character development and for the viewers to care more about them.
And the visuals in the new OP are great but the song doesnt fit at all

Even though I read the manga, the pacing confused the shit out of me which is a bad thing on their part. And i'm disappointed that they left all the fun bits out >.>

Heh, they finally gained their abilities. Pity Kimizuki didn't get controlled, I feel that would have been interesting. Well, I can't wait for the rest of the season to come out.

fripSide still doing a great job for the opening, though I liked the first season's opening much more. The OST was very fitting during the episode as well, that sense of urgency though. Can't wait for next week, if I remember what happens in the manga. :)

I hope this isn’t just queer baiting. I really hope there will be a romantic plot behind this.


Yeah I noticed that too >///< that's how people in love hold hands from what I've heard because they could of held hands like children, but did this instead. So far I'm loving the MikaYuu moments and I know there's more to come.

I assume you're referring to Ashuramaru and Kiseki-o? There's a reason why they look like loli/shota.

The plot continues to develop, but this kind Yuu's personality irritates me a little, I liked to see him acting quite arrogant, many mitérios arise around the protagonists, I'm look forward to continue watching anime, now I already have an idea up that part of the manga the anime will adapt ..

OMFG WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???? Everything was rushed! they put like 3 or 4 chapters of the manga in this episode and they skipped many important and many funny scenes. I'm so fucking pissed right now ¬¬

I liked the OP and the ED but I prefer the other ones.

I will continue watching it but the manga is WAAY better, also the novels I have only read 2 chapters but I know they explain a lot of things that happen later in the manga.

For those who feel this was rushed and are confused now go and read the manga It's better and everything It's clearer

Liking Yuu's new ability. Always a big fan (no pun intended) of someone who uses multiple swords, even if not exactly wielding them directly. Though they seem to be more like missiles... Lol.

This was a great episode. Yoichi already manifested his demon without any training which is very impressive. His ability seems like it'd be very useful in an actual battle too, with multiple arrows turning into birds. Yuu manifesting Ashuramaru was typical shounen but I still liked it; becoming friends~ Ferid is conspiring against Krul. I wonder if Mika will take sides with her instead.

I really liked how Kimizuki manifested his demon, Kiseki-o. Instead of 'killing' his own sister he decides to sacrifice himself and that goes beyond being weak. That made me like Kimizuki a lot more and adds so much more emotion to his character. Yuu's demon ability with the sword fans looks really cool. Kizmiuki's ability seems to be a coffin door opening up and it counts down. Too bad it was only teased but I hope to see it in the battle soon. So Guren knew something about Yoichi, Kimizuki and Yuu and it wasn't just a coincidence to bring them together.

The OST is great as always, I really liked it during the fight at the end and during the whole part with Kimizuki facing his demon. The OP by fripSide sounds pretty good. I prefer the first OP but I still love fripSide. The ED by Nagi Yanagi is so good though, love it.

Noth Yuu and Kimizuki's training really remind me of Bankai, I like this, although it's not as impressive-looking as I thought before.

Finally Krul appeared! She is still hot and badass as usual, she needs more screentime, and of course fight scenes.

Ay, I only picked that line because it was the only one I could get at the top of my head.

Plus, considering the newest chapter in the manga and how it relates to the LN, it's very relevant. Also, I'm a Guren fan, so it's only natural to remember his lines(l o l).

They're not going to fit everyone's favourite line, but there's no point in putting any lines at all if they're not going to characterise the mains. Like, they completely skipped most of the Asuramaru gudness.

Btw, the relevant manga chapters are: ch 19, 20, 21, 22.

Kiseki-o and Asuramaru are both males. They also have a reason to be shotas, lol. Why do you think Ferid is always pestering Mika to drink blood already?

It does feel pretty rushed, they should be doing the opposite considering they don't have that many materials to adapt.

Conquering your own demons to use their power is something we have seen many times so it bored me.

And that's where this episode failed. This time, it wasn't about conquering. The only way they can get the new powers is if they bond with their demon. See, in the manga, Asuramaru asked if Yu would 'love' him; if he would be his friend. In the anime + manga, Kiseki-o acknowledges Kimizuki as more than just a pitiful boy. While they're not friends(Kimizuki + Kiseki-o), they have become closer than they were before.

Hence why Yoichi talking to his demon alot helped him be able to use the demon faster.

I haven't gotten to this bit in the manga, but from what I'm hearing there was a lot of stuff they'd have had to pack into the one episode. I think it's pretty good as is. Of course some things aren't going to make it; maybe if this season was more than 12 episodes long, there'd be a lot more time to squeeze everything in. But twelve 24 minute episodes really isn't a whole lot of time.

I'm really interested in Yuu and Kimizuki's new abilities. I can't tell which one was more gorgeous. Can't wait to see them in action against the vampires!

Damn, this is badass... No wonder, that in every saturday. I save the best for last.
Episode went like this..
-Ashitora uses Sleep
-Yuu is Sleeping
-Ashitora uses Nightmare
*It is not very effective*
-Yuu uses the Power of Friendship *Plays intro theme to my little pony*
*It is super effective*
-Yuu uses MLG 420 Master Ball
*Ashitora was Caught*

So, in a nutshell.. The mystery and the action is what makes this anime a good anime, and trust me it deserves some of the hype.

So question for the manga readers why do you think WIT can adapt other anime (that other being attack on titan) so well but not adapt seraph well? (like cutting out the good scenes and the little details that add to the series) Just a curious question.

Actually, it was already somehow confirmed that they have yhe author supervision in order to cover the whole Nagoya Arc. So yeah, they have enough material and rushing through it since Nagoya Arc is very large compred to other previous arcs.
