| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- First half felt slow but the prep for the battle was okay. Both sides has their own skills so... Glad to see more Nobles tbh as it brings more variety. I think I spotted The fight itself was kinda neat especially seeing the military in action and some ranged fighting tactics. I think Yuu improved a bit too. Lol dat face  Damn, the Moon Company takes a casualty D: |
 |
| So that's what happens when they only adapt 2 chapters. I'm surprised they don't just do this all the time. Phew. For a moment there, I thought they were gonna skip the part that showed Yuu's development. Fabuloso Shinya is fabuloso. The first half was pretty faithful OST was rad. Kimizuki doing what he's best at - winding people up, lol. Yuu's ass-shot; I can't even. The last bit with Guren was adapted decently. I think I'm gonna cry. They better do the part in 1-2 episodes perfectly, or I'll start flipping tables. Crowley is hilarious, just whistling while going through paper work, lol. 4/5 Pretty solid episode, imo. |

| Preparation and getting trust. Nobu's character is taught by Suzuki-san's character to shoot from faraway. Koyasu-san's character is the main target this ep. He sacrificed his own vampire when Nobu's character shot him. He's strong as he is. They used provoke and teamwork to win against him (or rather, he sacrificed himself for not letting humans to kill him). Nakamura-san's character's team trying their best to kill more vampires and won though exhausted. Rest of teams lost miserably, though. Showing SuzuKen's character at the end, who's the one who killed many members by himself. |

| Glad to see that this episode was adapted very well.....Definitely the best episode of the season so far Yuu's development, plus that great teamwork against that noble all mixed in with some nice Guren moments....Sadly, shit is about to get real considering how powerful Crowley is and considering the fact that a company of 45 men got REKT lol If this season adapts as far as I think they're trying to, things are going to keep on getting more intense with each episode (Especially if they at least adapt it well and if they don't, include decent enough substitute original content) |
| What happened to the older vampire that was with the one that died? All I saw was him arm ripped off, but they didn't show his body anywhere. I never assume someone is dead without seeing the body vanish. That's anime basics 101. So let me get this straight; Guren is expected to go to Nagoya and beat 10 nobles with just a 100 man team. And yet 45 of this 100 man team got taken out by 1 noble Crowley. Doesn't this seem like an impossible mission for them to do by themselves? |

| Best looking anime of the year (or even past years) for sure. Fantastic work, thank you WIT Studio. And this season is really MUCH better then 1st, pretty good episode. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Quite nice battle scenes, I was hoping for Krul to appear but...oh well. Can't wait to see Krul fighting again, wonder how Guren and the others defeat her. |

| Oooh, pretty cool action this episode. Fav scene was when the noble went for Kimizuki and the camera changed DOF to focus on the sniper team appearing behind. Someone fire the sound director please. I think I've heard the same vocal BGM used for every action scene so far. And the BGM choice when they were winning was just so bad. The same piece of music just continued in the same tone when the noble took up Yayoi's sword, when he stabbed himself, and even after that when the team were rejoicing over their win. TERRIBLE. |
 |
| Nice episode, Action was really good. I guess there will be another good episode when they go after Crowley. Hopefully, they will cut out some of the Mika and Yuu gay reunion (Not really looking forward for that)...... |
 |
| Yep best episode Loved the animation and the music with the fight |
| This episode was amazing. Thanks Wit, please keep it like this until the end of the season. |
| I can never get used to Yuuniversal-senpai! |
 |
| Really nice episode, finally a first battle and first casualties. The animation and soundtrack were on point. Waiting for for the next ep! |
| Anyone knows who is singing when they are fighting with Lucal?Between 13-16 minutes of the episode. |
| Best episode so far. Love the action. This show is very entertaining when there is actual action. For God's sake, please stop hinting spoiler or anything like that. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| As for now, the only characters I care about are the sniper guy (I think his name is Shinya?) and Guren. They've been really cool this season. I really hope it won't be just random guys who die (like the one at the end), but also "regulars". Can't take it serously otherwise. |
 |
| Finally a pretty damn good ep. Awesome Yuu development. He's just getting cooler and cooler. Even Yoichi was cool ^^ The animation was on point! Finally, an ep that had awesome action scenes. Crowley hype! |
 |
This guy's sword looked really cool.  Poor Walter. I couldn't help but laugh when that vamp just used him as a shield. One noble down, plenty more to go.  |

| Who better to cast as a flamboyant vampire then the voice of Dio? Shame he's already dead. mira-nyan said: Ed card: I've read the rest of the ten chapters or so chapters (yeah it's pretty damn close to catching up) but still have no idea what you mean.

| Good episode, the action was good as I expected, Yuu and Kimizuki also make a good double in provoking and attack, the plot will quickly developing different from the first season, I look forward to see as will be the adaptation in the next episodes .. |

Ohh i see,thank you :D Now i need to wait...omg O_O |
| DAMN! The fight was so smart. The real fight will start in the next episode. Can't wait for that! |
 |
| Love it awesome episode the vampires make it better. The fight was cool no Mika though :(, but next week I get to see him and Crowley. Still don't know when Ferid will show up. |
 |
| I think this episode was actually adapted quite faithfully. It's amazing how much more enjoyable this can be when the studio isn't rushing and/or cutting out all the content. This was actually a pretty decent episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| The animation is getting better, but the lack of Mika was rather sad but at least we got a shot of the Yuu booty |
 |
| Great episode and all, but it feels like the Nobles we saw were really nerfed compared to how powerful they were actually supposed to be. Hopefully the fight against Crowley, next week or otherwise, rectifies this. |
| That fight was so fucking epic. Best episode so far 5/5 |
 |
when lukal stabs himself yeah, that's the face, they did it again.. (changing things for no good reason) this episode had some odd background music choices, but the animation is still good |

| Gotta love how the noble used his companion as a meat shield. Talk about taking one for the vampire team. |

| Crazy episode. Loved the action. |
| Fight was pretty cool. Can't wait for Crowly's opness! |

| So from what I'm gathering - solely from watching the anime - I've concluded the following about this series: The first season of Owari no Seraph was a big, blockbusting attempt at shoving all that is needed to know about the world that this particular story takes place in. That much was achieved in the first season; it was epic, jaw-dropping, and seriously mesmerizing to the point in which the majority of those who watched it were thirsty for more. The first season was amazing and really told the story of Yu and his struggle to understand and accept family. We were introduced to all the important characters and briefly experienced their unique, individual attributes. The end of the first season milked up a bunch of drama, too, to make sure the audience would stick around for whatever would come next, which, like I said, was accomplished and even brought in more people to go on this journey. Alas, twelve episodes doesn't always suffice a thoroughly completed story, making it seem rushed. That's where season two comes in. In my personal opinion, season one was strong in most, if not all aspects except for one: character development. Yes, we did meet practically everyone that matters in the story and were exposed to who they were... but it was all on a superficial level. Who Yu was in the first episode of the series has since become an evolved person bursting with a rainbow of attitudes and emotions. Other than a small taste of Mika's inter-conflicts of accepting his new life as a vampire, and Shihō's fight for his sister, no other characters felt too defined as to who they are. This changed at the very end of the first season when Shinoa expressed her affection toward Yu, her concealed care for and her repudiation of the inability to lead others, and a list of other personal conflicts that she's still struggling to overcome. The drama and taste of character development created a hunger in our minds to see more of this in the current season. So rather than having one longer and fuller show, we're being treated to different parts of a story spread profoundly and unconventionally across multiple seasons. While other stories from all cultures have tried and failed to succeed in achieving something so bizarre and daring, Owari no Seraph is proving that such can be achieved if done correctly. This was a pretty ballsy attempt to attract the massive audience that such a blockbuster demands, but I believe it was done efficiently and effectively. Again, this is all my own personal opinion. I may be right, but I'm more than likely over-analyzing this matter and creating bologna with my fingers. I have not read the manga or the light novels, so I have no clue how the original story is currently being written and thus my conclusions aren't likely accurate. But alas! I've still made them. :P Believe what you want. Read this, or don't; I couldn't care less. |
| Liked the music this ep. Want more Guren! Ready for Crowley and the rest of the vampires. Want to see more from their perspective. Mika where are you??!! |
richard_maximus said: As someone who didn't really like the first season. This season has been much better thus far. I was just going to say exactly the same, this season is better than first one. Still, most of the characters from this anime seem to lack development, which could have been done in season 1 but, honestly, it was awful. |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
Hiroyuuki said: Oh wow, I never even realized it. I thought he was saving his ally by pulling him out of the way. Never thought he used him as a meatshield. Jeez, that's so cruel sacrificing him in the blink of an eye like that. animefan8800 said: I assumed the noble used him as a meat shield against the sniper attacks and the arm was what was left. Yep, he used his subordinate as a meat shield, else he would have had trouble.

We'll finally see Crowley, hope they make it even more badass as the manga!! I guess we can see from this fight that arrogance is a major weakness of the vampires. I'm pretty sure the other vampires like Ferid and Crowley won't fall but it's a nice thing to keep in mind that they can lose their cool just like the humans. |
| Now, this episode was pretty amazing and solid. Unbelievable how many men they need to take down just one noble. The battle was great and the OST delivered. I can imagine things are just going to get tougher now, so looking forward to the next episode. If they keep this up, it'll definitely be better than the first season. |

| good shit animation was on spot for once shame they already lost half their forces it took 11 of em or so just to take out one and Kurl is suppose to be showing up there at some point oh man.. |
 |
| eww that's battle isn't that too easy? |
 |
| I remember reading this chapter but it's a whole different story seeing it animated .. It was amazing. I liked how the vampire comitted suicide rather than die by the hands of a human. |
