Owari no Seraph: Nagoya Kessen-hen

Yuuichirou Hyakuya is finally reunited with his childhood friend Mikaela Hyakuya, whom he had long presumed to be dead. Upon their reunion, however, he discovers that Mikaela has been turned into a vampire. Determined to help his friend, Yuuichirou vows to get stronger so that he can protect Mikaela as well as the comrades in the Moon Demon Company.

Kureto Hiiragi receives information that a large group of vampires will be gathering in Nagoya, preparing for their assault on the Imperial Demon Army's main forces in Tokyo. Led by Guren Ichinose, Yuuichirou's team is one of many selected to intercept and eliminate the vampire nobles.

With the Nagoya mission quickly approaching, the members of Shinoa squad continue to work towards fully mastering their weapons, while learning how to improve their teamwork. Yuuichirou must gain the power he needs to slay the nobles and save his best friend, before he succumbs to the demon of the Cursed Gear.

This anime was nothing but incredible in my eyes. When I first started watching season 1, I really didn't know what to expect, how to feel or if I was even going to like it as when I watch an anime, it's always the same: Romance, Comedy, Isekai, Slice of Life, Fantasy and shows that are more laid back and nothing too serious. Seraph of the End was pretty much leaving my comfort zone and to be honest, I'm really glad I decided too.

Each episode of Season 2 was filled with more action than the rest. Unlike season 1, season 2 left little to no ... down time. It felt like something was always happening. Every single time something got revealed, it felt like such a surprise and revealing what was in the container at the end and the seraph (not spoiling was it was) COMPLETELY caught me off guard and at least for me anyways, was the very last thing I expected it to be.

Also the reveal at the end with Yu also caught me off guard.

There is one thing that's getting me and it's what is keeping me from giving this a 10 too and that's it leaves the anime on a cliff hanger. This anime finished in 2015 and as of writing this review, it's 2024. Meaning there's a high chance this anime isn't getting a season 3. The final couple of minutes cuts to an event 4 months later, doesn't explain what is is and then it cuts to the main cast about to set on their next mission (again no spoilers) - I have no problem with cliff hangers as I know it is there to raise suspense. However, putting it at the very end of the anime with no season 3 is such a low blow. I only watch anime, I don't read manga so maybe it continues there? It just feels off to me.

Aside from that I loved watching this show and coming from someone that doesn't tend to watch this kind of anime it felt like a really nice change of pace and it managed to get me to enjoy an anime that I would normally skip

9/10

Mixed Feelings

I wanna say this anime is pretty ok, nothing spectacular but nothing really bad either. I was wondering how this anime wasn’t so popular when it was airing and how it just slipped under the radar for most people’s watchlist. It’s one of those anime’s where it got hyped for a few months, but later on it became forgotten. The story being set up as a war between humans and vampires, the two main characters introduced in a way that’s very stereotypical, and a little plot twist at the end that I wasn’t the expecting. Overall, I only liked 3 characters in the show. Most ... of the characters in the show seem either one-dimensional, an asshole, or just straight up annoying. The main two mc’s were tbh, the only reason why I continued watching the show, I absolutely love their dynamic and how they really care for each other -like in the show, u are literally blind if u can’t see how gay they are for each other, and I’m all here for it. Fucking love those two so much- Although, I think the reason why this anime wasn’t so hyped and popular as the others is because it lacks identity. Identity as in there’s nothing to say how good or bad it is. I don’t see anything that’s super original compared to the mainstream anime’s that got popular with basically the same concept and plot. Seraph of the end is an interesting one to say the least, but I enjoyed it. I’ve heard from the community that the manga is 10 times better than the anime since it leaves out a lot of the important aspects of the plot, world, and characters. So I kinda regretted watching the anime lol. I’ll definitely check out the manga and be up to date with it when I get the chance. Hopefully the manga will make me fall in love with the characters and story more than the anime.

I decided to watch Seraph of the End after I read a decent portion of the manga, for reference, I'm at about chapter 110. The first season ends at about chapter 22, and the second ends at about chapter 100... I haven't seen an adaptation this bad since The Promised Neverland season 2!!!
For this to work, they had to cut out a lot of the manga's plot, characters, and back stories. This made the anime shallow, boring, and confusing...
I genuinely thought I was losing it watching this stupid anime, like I was imagining the manga. Based on my memory, they cut Ky Luc, Urd Geales, ... Sika Madu, and Saitou, 4 very important vampire characters, and I'm sure they cut more than that. These characters are involved in important plots. Lest Karr is at least in the anime, but he's only shown like once or twice!! In the manga, he plays a more important part in the dethoning of Krul.

Nothing gets explained either, in the manga, you learn Krul's and Ashuramaru's back story, Ferid's back story, his vampire family too, how demons can to be, how vampire society works, how vampires get turned, and how that determains their level of power, how Mahiru became a demon, and how she created Cursed Gear, and they explain what a seraph/angel is. Honestly, everybody's back story gets cut, it makes the characters so shallow...
I understand that sometimes things get cut because they're unnecessary, but most, if not all, of these were necessary. These changes make the anime feel rushed, and the viewers feel confused. The vampires are a major part of Seraph of the End, but the anime chooses to ignore that fact and cuts like over 30 chapters. As a manga reader, I'm enraged. I have no idea who thought this was a good idea????
The last 2 episodes are the worst offenders by far, nothing follows the manga. This is to the anime's detriment. The final fight of the anime doesn't adapt like anything from the manga... I don't know what they were adapting??? It's laughable, I'm guessing it's anime original? The fights that happen around that point in the manga involve Saitou too much, so I'm guessing they had to mash 3 different fights together to continue the anime.
The time skip killed me... why would they do that?? There is no time skip in the manga; they cut like 10 chapters because of the skip.
Don't even get me started on the treatment of Mirai Kimizuki. The way her scenes get cut from the anime is criminal!!!! This results in the mischaracterization of Shihou Kimizuk. He would never leave his sister behind, but in the anime, he would????

I get that a lot of people want a season 2, but one can't exist unless this anime gets remade, seriously. The manga only has about 150 chapters right now, and those chapters will make no sense because of the cut material. I really liked Seraph of the End it wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst, it was a solid 8 (7 if you don't like the genres/themes). I wanted this adaptation to be great, yet it was such a letdown. This anime adaptation was sooo frustrating, I just needed to vent lol.
