• Fate ordains that the two main, slightly homoerotic protagonists are on opposite sides. Gundam SEED is bad, but it is more interesting than this series, so if you want to watch something with a similar premise and better execution, check it out.
• There’s also a twin-tailed tsundere, a flamboyantly gay vampire, the coy girl, and the OP older guy. If you haven’t seen these tropes reused to death than you’re probably fairly new to anime and this series might not be a bad start, but to veterans of anime, like myself, will yawn upon every character introduction.
• The visuals are very pretty, because they’re done by Studio WIT, the animation studio that did Haikyuu and the like, but, like many other WIT shows. It’s appealing to look at, but the plot is boring and requires no thought, whatsoever.
• I thought the most interesting character was probably Krul, though she’s the typical loli vampire, see the Monogatari Series for more examples of this, but the first season was so droll that I could not imagine myself wanting to watch more for her.
• Overall, this series is as interesting as Akame ga Kill, with less edginess and I don’t recommend it, unless you’re new to anime or you’re particularly interested in vampires and pretty people. I give the first season of Owari no Seraph a 3/10.
