Did the blu-rays sell well? Did the manga get a burst in sales or something? It seems like they actually decided to attempt to animate this show properly now. Most of cost cutting crap from last season was non existent in this episode.

How is this rated so high...


The goddamn fanbase raping the ratings button or drop down menu, whatever.

It was an okay episode. I'm pissed off at Guren trying to be cool as usual and Shinoa's over-the-top perkiness is annoying too. I want to see what she's really like underneath all facade of fake smiles and cheerfulness.

Also the Hiragiis fight dirty. I hope they all get eviscerated by vampires.

Nice to see Owari no Seraph back !
When I finished the first season, I'd never think the story to turn like that and that was kinda nice. I found the first season good, because I felt that the situation could become really interesting, so when I watched this episode I really enjoyed it ^^
Btw I think what is interesting in Owari no seraph are the internal conflicts in the human's and vampire's sides, the interesting characters (like Shinoa, Guren, Ferid, Mika, and more recently Yuu) and the art with these pastel scenes and the character design. So I'm kinda relieved they did a good 13th episode !

I always wonder why super average series like this always getting great art and animation.
This is the best looking anime in this season for sure. (still watching it for Shinoa and beautiful art).
This is 100% my definition of beauty in anime. I didn't see anything which looks better than this anime in past years. Wit studio has the best animation technique from all existing studios now (only Silverlink and KyoAni are close to them)


The art style is Yamamoto's, not Wit's. The art work(not the animation) is honestly still bad.

It would be better if Silverlink did this, imo.

Say what?
Bad? Seriously?
I don't mind if it would be done by Silverlink, but only if it would look like Non Non Biyori, but I Ibet it wouldn't, so no.
Still I think that this one of most beautiful series of past years, art and animation is just beautiful, without shitty oversaturated colors and CG.
And I'm not talking about how characters looks (of course characters design it usually up to author of manga) , but how it is done in general.

I'd say it's a step up from the quality of the first season, but it's still nothing special.
There are other, better contenders for best animation this season.
One Punch Man, Sakurako-san, Comet Lucifer is better than I expected of 8bit original anime, and Concrete Revolutio looks pretty cool thanks to Bones.

- The Blue-ray didn't sold well.
- The manga did sold very very well ( top 2 best selling manga just recently in weekly ranking and apparently top 20 to the best selling manga of the year)
Anyway, I always think the manga sell well more than anime.
- If I would say, their merchandises sell more well than their BD/DVD if we consider how many merchandise they already produced.

Well, I have a feeling that most of the cost they used merchandise for season 2 are from the merchandises.

Anyway i love how they improve ^_^

Finally! I'm excited about how will this turn out. I noticed this time some OST, that's great. But other than that, the animation was still pretty meh. Shinoa and Shinya were pretty awesome! It was a good episode, hope will see more action.

Kureto doesn't seem as merciless as he does in the manga. The anime misses out the part where he says if Yuu defects, he'd kill him. His design is also slightly off..just hope they do his character justice.
Also, the background art is still quite "unique".

Nice start overall. Shinoa girl is back <3

Art work.

As in, how good the frames are/the quality, especially when put together.
Kinda like this masterpiece:



There was a far worse one, but I couldn't find it, lol. Ofc, everything you said is what I think. But the art work/q u a l i t y drops alot. That was a major thing that pretty much everyone complained about, last season.

After seeing how this episode opened, it made the recap special even more obnoxious. Basically, the recap we got right at the beginning of this episode was enough to remind viewers what had happened right at the end of the previous season. But I thought the transition was a little jump between the recap and Shinoa's duel with Guren.

After Shinoa and Guren's brief duel, though, there really wasn't much action until Yuichiro entered the room for his interview with the Hiragi family. But the Hiragi family are such jerks, though. Some of the interrogation methods they employ are just terrible. The only "good" thing to come out of that whole ordeal was that Yuichiro finally learned a very important truth. Yuichiro's confrontation with Guren resolves the issue with this new truth rather quickly.

This episode definitely succeeded in setting the stage for the politics that will be involved with where the series will be headed to. I know this since I've been reading the manga chapters as they're published in VIZ's English edition of Weekly Shonen Jump. Yes, the episode did feel a little slow at times, but it accomplished what it needed to do.

Too bad the quality stayed like 1st season's end, 1st season started OK but its all downhill. The bscript really needs improvement. Also, not much time has passed but the characters were different (personality wise, small quircks), had to check if the staff's the same.

A beginning with a faster development than the previous season, and a drastic change in Yuu's personality, I liked it better when he was arrogant and sarcastic, and I really do not like of Guren, is a character that I really want to see having problems, I am curious to see how it will the adaptation this season, I'm looking forward to the next episodes ..

glad to see this series back :)

I enjoyed the first episode, I thought the pacing was a little fast though.

Shinoa as usual is the gem in this show <3

Although I dont see how killing a vamp would 'prove' Yuu isnt a traitor, he could have just killed it anyway, doesn't really prove any point.

Poor Kimizuki and Yoichi..

Mika is finding it increasing difficult to survive without human blood - I guess we will see how that goes as this series progresses

Not a bad first ep
4/5 :)

here we go again S2!
what Shinoa said was very true: "You can never tell who your friends and enemies are in this world"
So many conflicts/corruption inside that's for sure example is Hiiragi branch...we know that everything about them is bad news...but as well as Guren. I'm not 100% trusting him either...
4/5.

Again, perfect adaptation. This season should be better than the 1st one since it has more dialogue, story and tactics than actual action. Action that feels better on paper than animated...

I thought this will be better than the first season from the get go but it wasn't, while there are some interesting stuff in this episode I'm not going to continue watching if I'm not impressed by the 3 episodes mark. I forgot how annoying the girls on this team are and how weak the vampires are compared to Yuu and his lack of training. That will be remedied soon apparently but so far I'm keeping my expectations very low.

I'm sure you don't realise that the vampire was clearly
1) Weak in general. It's a fucking fodder
2) Been starved and tortured becuz Kureto.

Could you not tell by the way it looked?

And Yu as well as his squad were clearly beaten by Crowley. Even Guren, someone with obviously far better training that Yuu, couldn't beat Ferid. Jesus Christ.

So all the vampires Yuu and company easily beat getting to the nobles in season 1 were weakened as well? If kids who just got their weapons without training could kill them then why are they considered a threat again? Since apparently every vampire who isn't a noble is very weak. Yes, this one most likely is weakened but its speed as we've seen should've at least given it some advantage and made this small battle longer than 2 seconds.
