A solid episode imo. Good thing they're actually starting to get things done and have a full group. Shinoa gets better every episode... the best character in this series, no doubt about it. I love her teasing.

Seraph of the End ep 7

TLDR: Main character is a badass, and the new girl is funny,

New girl is really funny.

Love the atmosphere that this episode slowly builds up.

"I'm through living a life leaving people behind!" You fucking go Yu!

Damn, the vampires are terrified of Yu! And dear god is he a badass!

Blonde girl says that she hates Yu. Universal sign of wanting his babies!

Ok, well next is one of my faves from the season. This should cheer me up.

That was so awesome, gonna jump to the next episode.

"In a world like this theres no one who hasn't lost someone important."

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LINE IN THE SHOW. The MC isn't special at all. THEY ALL lost someone.

Another annoying female character? Ridiculous. I just want to throw her out a window. Are these the ideal females for Japanese men? I've been seeing too many of them in anime lately.

Yeah, that certainly was... unexpected.

Good to see some action. I hope we can get back to the strength of pacing and story as we did in the first 2 or 3 episodes.... not really digging how this series has gone.

Hmm the new girl I don't know what I should thin about her. For sure her past is also fucked up with the death of on of her friends. But it seems she act like this because she don't want to lose more nakama.

I knew that Yuu would ignore it and rescue the little girl. The fight was nice espacially when Yuu activates his sword. Is is normal that he get this signs on his body? Lol even the vampire was afraid when he saw Yuus look :D

The shower scene, I love Shinoa so much <3

These perfect cliffhangers >.<

For me this team doesn't work. There is no chemistry at all whatsoever and I really don't care about any of them yet. If they died right now I'd be like "sure, next episode".

The MC is an imbecile and I would have bashed his face in myself. I'm not going to die because he's too dumb to follow orders.

Also think about it, you're going to sacrifice 5 people in total for one little kid? 5 people who can actually do something and are able to protect other people in an age where Ages 13 and up must be pretty scarce because of the virus? Sure, save the kid, what is she going to do when another monster comes in? Cry it to death?

The vampire/monster slaying units are a precious resource. If they keep dying faster than you can train them then saving that little one will have been for nothing, because the next day there will be no one left to protect her.

Hey, they're out, they're older than 12 but they don't die. Why is that? Did I miss something till now or what? If it's spoiler, just say the answer is in the next episodes or something.

Maybe the demon weapons they hold somehow protect them?

Or maybe it means that the virus is gone now. The virus was active 4 years ago, no reason to think it still persists. Also, it may have been a one time virus. So if any of the children grow over 13 they'll still be alive.

There's also the possibility that the vampires could've been lying about it to scare the humans into submission.


Yeah I checked the previous episodes and they say something like the virus not being active anymore, humans found some solutions etc.

In 2012, the world allegedly comes to an end at the hands of a "human-made" virus, ravaging the global populace and leaving only children under the age of thirteen untouched. It is at this time that vampires emerge from the recesses of the earth, likely followed by age-old horrors of the dark thought only to be myth. The vampires sweep the earth and claim it in a single violent stroke, subjugating the remnants of humanity and leading them beneath the surface to safety. This "protection" comes at the price of donating blood to their captors. At the age of twelve, Yūichirō and his friend and fellow orphan Mikaela plotted to escape along with the children in Hyakuya Orphanage. However, this resulted in their deaths and Mikaela sacrifices himself in order for Yūichirō to escape and be saved by members of the Moon Demon Company, an extermination unit of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. Four years later, Yūichirō dedicates his life to destroy vampires and seek revenge against them for murdering his "family".

Still great, but hoping it picks up a little more in the last third. It's clearly building up to something, but I wish it would just get there already. Mitsuba is cool, though I think her past could have been sadder. Definitely not seeing her and Yuu...no idea where everyone is getting that from o.o

Mitsuba's abrasive attitude was quite annoying to watch, but her judgment was correct and she had every right to be upset at Yuu and his recklessness and at Guren for forcing her to be in charge of some rather inexperienced soldiers. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind that decision, unless Guren had intended to subject Yuu to desperate situations in order to more quickly progress toward unlocking his full potential as shown by what appeared to be signs of a transformation.

That being said, if a group of five isn't able to effectively fight against a single monster while maintaining adequate defense against potential vampire ambushes, then I'd question why five would be considered the golden number, although to be fair in this case over half of them haven't had experience venturing this far out in the field so maybe it's different.

Shinoa is awesome as usual. The group as a whole is still dysfunctional, but entertaining.

Mika and Yuu saving younger girls. Trying to build their own harem.

Unfortunate no oppai during the shower scene.

The theme of being pragmatic in battle (not breaking formation to save anyone else), and the power of friendship are being pushed at them same time. This is just a minor nitpick of mine. In any other show that didn't have this campy premise and cheesy characters and dialogue, I would welcome the subtletly of not pointing out this conflict, but in this case, it just feels silly. I really wish this show finally owned up to its over-the-top nature.

The direction still feels very flat, and it's even more apparent when the music that plays during supposedly intense or suspenseful scenes is so full of coolness and bravado. The skirmish with the vampires was kind of mess again, direction-wise. Why is it that the horseman are more interesting to watch (by comparison), when the main draw of the show is supposed to be killing (or at least fighting) vampires?

Shinoa and Mitsuba almost had a nice moment. The showers would have been a fine choice for the scene, and a character being naked can add a level of intimacy to an emotional scene. And I like fanservice just fine, usually. The stupid thing is just that they wanted to have both. They forced pandering (specifically, when Shinoa jumps Mitsuba) into a scene that could have easily been a sweet one. This same exact scene would be great in a comedy show, but it looks ridiculous in a supposed dark supernatural action show, which usually has few comedic moments. Maybe I'm being uptight, but I can't take stuff like this seriously.

I really want to know why Gurrens sword is red while the rest of the black series is green? Is it because he has more control of his demon? An he is no joke. A force to be reckoned with.

i actually kinda like this episode. nice sprinkling of action, although i wish there was more, since its an action show... it also presented a moral dilemma, neither side is necessarily wrong in this case.

once again, i really like the background art in this show, especially the post-apocalypse tokyo now that we're seeing more of it. lots of last of us vibes.

Shinoa is soooo cute I love her!! She’s really the best girl here

I really love the art, really helps with the world-building. Tho it was a little silly they could have killed those 3 vampires right there & then, they seemed like they would have been no match up against all their cursed weapons. It’s nice to see Yuu being more self-aware too. Irino Miyu voice work is amazing ♡____♡

Are all the vampires a team or are the ones in this station different from the ones in the beginning.

Not a fan of Mitsuba at all, it was your fault that teammate had to sacrifice himself, stop celebrating randomly.

Waaaay too late for this party, but this episode really stung me for one reason in particular. Probably just going to use this as a way to immortalize my opinion, but this episode really did inshrine the fact that this is a slightly above-average anime for me.

In this episode, we meet Mitsuba, who is the fifth member of this newly formed team of newbies. This kind of gives us a glimpse into the structure of the human society that has been built here. It is militaristic and they apparently work in five-man squads, very smart. Guren explains why and even breaks up a fight with Mitsuba and Shinoa. That is great, but there is a problem. While Guren tries to instill some sense of squad hierarchy in there, no one is going to abide by it. If Shinoa can't solve a challenge to her authority, then how is she going to lead the team? Mitsoba is a huge problem here due to acting like she is in charge for the rest of the episode and is never checked by her commanding officer, shinoa. Shinoa lets her take command after this with no pushback, which Guren should have seen coming. A better choice at the beginning would be to have Shinoa physically check Mistoba and set the rules. Sometimes a rough beating is what it takes to get your point across. Another problem in this team is that Yuu is gonna end up running off to fight whatever and whenever he wants. He needed to be checked before coming here, now he is a wild card and would, in a realistic scenario, get the team killed at some point or another. Instead, we have Mitsoba be a copy-and-paste female version of him without the plot armor. This would be difficult to navigate for an experienced commander, which Shinoa is not. These two problems are made worse by Shinoa's lazy and unwilling demeanor as a leader.

How would I fix this? Well, you kind of can't. With Mitsoba I suppose a good beating by Shinoa would have checked her, but that is a maybe. The only reason it may have worked is due to her already crushed spirit from her previous fuck up on another team. With Yuu? I don't think anything can get him to fall in line. He is way too headstrong. Knowing this, if I were Shinoa, I would make a very quick decision to help the kid. I would then make my attention known to the rest of the team to stop Yuu from acting alone and form a plan. I would send Yuu and Mitsoba out to subdue, not necessarily kill, the enemy. Their orders would be to have Yuu distract it while Mistoba retrieves the child and brings it back to me and the rest of the team. Yoichi would be watching their backs and the rest of us would be watching his. Once the child was retrieved, both members are to return and we are to retreat directly after with our long-range fighter in the middle of the group, followed by two close-range fighters in the back, and with the leader being second to last. The person in front will carry the child, leaving the rest to watch for and take care of any potential threats. If I had lost Yuu or Mitsoba in this fight, it would not have been as big of a deal since they were not good soldiers to begin with.

Is everyone's sister dead or dying in this anime?

Say what you will about Yuu, but his decision saved a life while sacrificing nothing in return. I'd wager that was a pretty tactical decision.
