Yu's "STFU and Just give me power" was lol

Kimizuki's imouto is adorable <3

I guess Yu's dad is a demon? He did say that his mom killed herself and his dad was being called a demon.


I think you slightly goes wrong there. Yu said in the first episode that his dad tried to kill him and then his mother went crazy and called him a demon spawn... Why would his father tried to kill him if they are even the same species? Well, this anime is getting interestin

For some question that arise from this episode

[spoiler](sorry if i spoil anyone, i dont know how serious this is bc i have a bad time keeping track of the animes exact correlations w/ the manga. thatbeing said, dont read the first point of mine if u dont want the 10% thing spoiled. sorry idrc enough to learn the bb code for spoil alerts =[)

1) for those dont get the hints of it, (krul mentioned it in recent episodes if i recall correctly) but "seraph of the end - the series title, thats basically the 10% btw, details of this are still very vague within the manga too, so it may still be confusing thru explanation. but, "seraph" gene is something that within yuu and mika, it's a result of human testing that the hyakuya orphanage did, unknown to the kids, on them. (this is why krul saved mika more than likely, rather than just letting him suffer and die for trying to escape. and why she later on advises mika to save yuu, prolly wants to use him for power as well. other hints: the mark on yuu's face during the OP, and the preview for ep7, at the end of this ep. and asuramaru commented on this ep as well) so yeah, it's not demon or vampire :) [or at least, i guess it could be a type of the former, but as i said the gene is very very vague even in the manga atm, theres theories, plenty of mentions, but like no explaining of it thus far. infact its rather unclear, i should explain myself, bc yu has been called the demons spawn bc of the spawn, since birth, and the only connection is the orphanage bc mika has the gene as well. damn they should rly elaborate on those, it's way too vague and now i've even confused myself, 2nd thought)

2) i believe the "negative emotion" is just bad explanation (bad writing in this instance, even?, i hate to say that tho bc i love this manga/anime...) i think what they were going for (i think this is even mentioned, prolly by guren, in the manga, at the least) how demons feed on weak emotions, or your weaknesses. you could say yoichi's innocence has a sense of weakness to it, because it holds him back possibly, from going all out like kimizuki or yuu, because he doesnt have an ounce of hate in his heart, and is all for just protecting his loved ones, rather than a strong force of hate as well. fortunately, that will to protect is strong enough to overcome these "weak" feelings :)

anyways, i loved this episode. cant wait for mitsubas introduction. love her.
[/spoiler]

At least put a spoiler tag! And it was written in the BB code beside the comment box

With the power of friendship, Yoichi came back from the possessed state. So basically the things that Shinoa & Gurren told about the contract were all lies? Or maybe it was the power of plot convenience?

Whaaatt that's all about the test of acquiring the demon's power? Boooriiiiinng!

The action was meh, Yu with all of his protagonist vs comrades/best friends-who-turned-evil cliche.
At least we can move on from these school stuff and move on to the battlefield! Neat! Can't wait for the battle between Mika and Yu! (If it actually happen)

And finally the praise/slag ratio in and around these threads gets back to a relatively normal level.

Ashuramaru, makes her first appearance. Still a bit too early, but I anticipate her second appearance way more... though that's probably second cour material...

Yoichi loses his head and Yuu suddenly begins to develop a sense of protectiveness over his group. He's been feeling it himself for some time, but never understood it until Guren specifically spelt it out loud for him.


Comrades is just a code for Family now. He'll protect his "New Family" with his life. Still, we're missing a member (who will show up next week). And I can't wait to see him go berserk when he finds out that Mika is alive AND has turned into a hated Vamp (probably not next episode, but you never know...).

One good thing to come out of this episode besides the minimal action was Ashuramaru's warning to not trust the humans. Excellent foreshadowing if you ask me :P

Prologue is done, Chapter 01, here we come.

But really, is there going to be a single female character design in this entire show that doesn't look about 12 years old? What's with all these fucking lolis? That vampire chick's the worst one--only thing creepy about her is that she looks like a primary school student but is wearing halterneck lingerie.

tecnically,
vampire = ageless
so
vampire noble = very old vampire = very very old by human standards = not a kid
sure if you look at it totally ignoring what it is and the setting it is in, it's just a kid with adult clothing, and they're all living underground cause they're emo/geeks


I said looks about 12 years old, not is. Which is worse anyway, since it means it was an actual design choice to make her look like a child and then dress her in seductive clothing. There's no need to be so rude about it, especially when you didn't even read what I said properly.

Plus lol, are you sure the vampires are ageless? Mika's definitely aged a few years, even though you seem incredibly sure that, as a vampire, he shouldn't have done in any way, shape or form. Either this is a massive plothole or you're just way too eager to defend gross character designs.

my comment was about this "she looks like a primary school student but is wearing halterneck lingerie.", yes she looks like that, but only if you ignore she's a vampire, had no intention of being rude
and besides, looking at a fictional work from the author's point of view is usually detrimental, yep it's not the most original or genuine design ever seen, but it's not very interesting to talk about that, unless one is into a writing class/course
at most those are things to think about when deciding a vote for the whole serie, but usually those are internal monologues, unless you're writing a review

supposedly they are, unless what kururu/krul said to mika when she turned him into a vampire was a lie, well, she didn't really use the word "ageless" just "eternal life", but suppose those should be related, can't really have an eternal life if the body becomes dust by aging :/

look at this from this way, or vampires are ageless: which explains krul size, but doesn't explain mika,
or vampires aren't ageless: which explains mika, but doesn't explain krul she should have aged too otherwise
which you pick?

Are you saying it's stupid and boring to say Krul's character design is gross unless you're writing a review? Not really, lol. If anything the fact that she looks like that is the thing that's bringing my experience down, not the fact that I brought it up.

Both of those contradict each other in some way. Either Mika's a totally unique vampire that doesn't follow their non-ageing rule (why would he be?), or Krul is supposedly in an """adult""" body and has already aged, which is just straight up bullshit. No adult looks like that unless they have a serious physical disorder that's stunted their growth. I'm pretty sure this is just a plothole of character design aesthetic > actual logic regarding world building which, judging by the fact that literally every other female character we've seen so far follows this loli trend, I am very willing to believe.

There is implication is that vampires in this setting do age, though precisely in what manner is not said. In episode 4, one of the vampires calls Mikaela "a greedy human who turned". There are 3 possible interpretations:
1. Normally, vampires choose which humans to turn--and only those who fit their ideals. The other vampire is accusing Mikaela of being greedy before turning, unlike the rest of them.
2. The vampire is being hypocritical and considers himself above the greedy humans who turned, because he has rising above what he considers human greedy.
3. Vampires can reproduce without turning humans.

The third option is possible--and rather common in Japanese stories about vampires, especially when there is a distinction between nobility and progenitors and the common stock.

So that leaves Mikaela with two unusual characteristics compared to the other vampires--at least in terms of facts we know:
1. He is the only one whom we know to have been turned from a human.
2. He is the only one whom we know to not drink human blood.

Either could explain the fact that he ages, while the others appear to not.

I'm pretty sure this is just a plothole of character design aesthetic > actual logic regarding world building which, judging by the fact that literally every other female character we've seen so far follows this loli trend, I am very willing to believe.

An episode where Shinoa isn't cringeworthy and actually takes shit seriously? Progress!!!!!!

Guren's nonchalant attitude is wearing thin. Yoichi continues to grow. Kinda pathetic yet realistically likable. However I could've sworn he had the highest resistance to demons. But I'm going to guess that resistance and joining are different(obviously)

Yoichi isn't a malicious person nor does he have any "darkness" inside him making it hard for him to join but his willpower. Kinda makes sense

Awesome, Yu has a loli demon girl. That's definitely a plus.

Glad Yoichi was able to overcome the demon, the only dumb part was that he ran into the arms of Yu. God, I can already see the yaoi doujins flowing in.

Even if it's not a huge plot hole, it's still gross that Krul looks like a child but wears that outfit. That's not gonna change just because she's a vampire. She could've easily been an unageing vampire that wore the same uniform as the others (which, frankly, would've looked better than those ugly oversized sleeves she has) or, alternatively, didn't look 12. She's still physically a child wearing halterneck lingerie, which was my point at that start and that her age has nothing to do with. It's the same as when other animes draw what are basically infants and then write "17 years old" next to them. You can say a character's whatever age you want but that doesn't change their physical one lol.

I wouldn't say the assistant homeroom teacher looks like an adult. More like 14. But the other two had like... one shot of screentime each. Every actual female character with a name and a purpose to the story is still a loli, even if you did spot two nameless background fodder who weren't. Even Shinoa looks 13 at best and she's easily one of the oldest in appearance so far.

Physical age is generally measured through characteristics such as metabolism, cell health, telomere length, etc, not outward appearance. The measure of outward appearance fails to take into account, for example, differences in nutritional habits. A 500 year old vampire, even with an adult's outward appearance, would be significantly shorter and less developed compared to an adult today because of the relative lack of healthcare and nutrition--but perhaps most importantly the lack of growth hormones in their food.

Even Shinoa looks 13 at best and she's easily one of the oldest in appearance so far.

Take note for the moment that we have gone from "literally every other female character" to ones who are not "nameless background fodder".

It seems to me that a 14 year old girl who is the same height as a 16 year old boy is rather unusual--unless, of course, she has completed her puberty, in which case she would not be a loli, even if that term were defined to have the same meaning as the term nymphet from the original Lolita (loli refers to pre-pubescent girls, while nymphet refers to pubescent girls). A far more likely explanation is that the simplified style of anime lacks the necessary details to distinguish between a 16 year old girl and a 20 year old woman.

If you want to say minor, then say minor. Of course, using a term that distinguishes between a 17 years and 364 days old person and an 18 year old person does not have quite the same impact as a term that means pre-pubescent girls, but at least it will be the correct use of the term.

No need to put words in my mouth because I wanted more plot progression and more scenes from Mikaela's POV but instead all I got was unfunny interactions from obnoxious characters, cheesy dialogues and nakama speeches.

I'm not going to say that the author wanted to express a deeper meaning in having Krul looking like a 12 year-old. Let's face it, it just pure fanservice for Japanese otakus because they like loli. However, I have to say that this guy:

Is right. In past, people were generally much shorter than now and in places where hunger was common they (especially women) had very undeveloped bodies for that very reason. Of course, you don't see that in TV shows and it's very rarely explicitly stated because the looks of our generation is something we take for granted and that image is difficult to destroy. It's actually possible for the body to degrade if it has very little nutrition as well and it doesn't have to return to its original form when give nutrition or perhaps her vampirism made it impossible.

That being said, even nowadays there are people who look way younger than others. I'm often confused for a 15 year old despite being over 20 and I lived in a middle class family with enough nutrition my whole life. When I was about 16, people thought I was 12. So, it's possible that if I lived during famine I would easily pass for a 12 year old because my body would simply develop even less. And no, I have no growth issues.

I guess as someone who always gets confused for a minor, I don't like guessing the age of people/characters.

If you want to say minor, then say minor. Of course, using a term that distinguishes between a 17 years and 364 days old person and an 18 year old person does not have quite the same impact as a term that means pre-pubescent girls, but at least it will be the correct use of the term.


You're trying way too hard to avoid the fact that the female characters all look incredibly underage and are loli pandering. Krul's not going to stop being a loli in lingerie because you threw science at a fantasy show which has dodgy logic in the first place lmfao.

And lol, when I said characters, I obviously meant named ones in the first place. You're not a character if you're background fodder, none of the girls you mentioned even have names, they're damn after thoughts. You were scraping the barrel so get off my back by trying to say you were right by going "this lady had tits for three seconds so you're wrong!!" as though an entire armed forces isn't full of girls that look 12 years old, as though the queen of the vampires isn't a child in lingerie, and as though this entire show isn't loli pandering. It's not just that they're short, it's that they've got big doe eyes, explicitly flat chests (for instance, Krul isn't developed at all), and are there purposefully to look like children for guys that want to wank over underage girls without feeling bad.

Also you, interestingly, listed that Yuu is a 16 year old boy so a girl that looks young couldn't be his height. (Bullshit anyway, I was taller than a 16 year old boy when I was 11, never mind fucking 14.) Not only did we see Yuu being more than a head shorter than a boy his own age, you've suddenly dropped all your malnutrition ranting as soon as he's in question, even though he's the only character we've actually seen definitely not being fed enough, being deprived of his own blood, and being abused lmao. Is it only relevant when you want to defend shitty character designs or???

As always, with enough yelling and obstinacy, Yuu is able to get what he wants. Something seemed a bit...off about his conversation with the demon though.

I'll be honest, this episode surprised me and I actually thought Yoichi was gonna turn into a demon. But come on, the lieutenant knew that demon-possessed humans could turn back to the way they were, yet didn't bother to tell the other two and forced them to kill Yoichi? wtf dude if you can just yell at the demon wouldn't you rather save as many soldiers as you could? Maybe the lieutenant is actually a worse person than Yuu...but that's likely a stretch.

Well, still better than the previous five episodes imo. Maybe because Shinoa didn't have much screen time. (I just don't like her). And no loli vampires.
So far (which sucks, considering we're already on 6th episode) I'm only fond of Mika( with almost no screen time).
Story is way too slow. But still I wonder what it is that people did to Yuu, and the reason he's 10% nonhuman.

It was ambiguous even in the current manga but I'm leaning on it being female due to some LN spoilers I read somewhere (if it's really true, of course). She used boku like most males but that doesn't necessarily confirmed it to be male now that traps and reverse-traps are common in most series nowadays.

Well that was adapted perfectly once again.

Not much to say about it, pretty straight forward episode, other than getting a peak at Asuramaru and his little tidbit of info about Yu.

I'm more fucking hyped for next week. Manga readers...you know what I'm talking about. You saw that shit at the very end. This might be the turning point where people stop whining.

Mitsuba the loli will also make her debut next week. Kind of disappointed because from the looks of it, they shrunk her boobs a bit. She was almost like Hestia (loli with boobs). They weren't nearly as big, but they were drawn bigger than Shinoa's half the time. (note to people already whining about her: she's not an annoying tsundere loli like you think she is).

So as expected they all made it, though Yoichi needed a bit of help. I think I saw the vampire that killed his sister in that end group. Seems like he may get the chance to avenge her soon. Good episode.

Yep. the two vampires, Lacus and Rene ransacked the house and Lacus killed his sister.

This episode really disappointed me. It was so straight forward that it shocked me. The rival gets his contract first. Ihe timid guy is emotionally the weakest and of course he gets possessed. Then he's rescued with the power of friendship. Much original. Very shounen. Wow. And the commander somehow predicted ALL of this. He must be some sort of insanely genius übermensch to do that. This is like something from an ancient manga.

He knew for a reason.

This show is Evil within of anime. Completely misleading first chapter/episode, which then turns into generic, by-the-book stuff.

First episode was dark, grim, with a sense of hopelessness, then it turned into slice of life school anime with supernatural elements, now it has become flat out shounen with power of love and friendship used to solve crisis.

Oh well, it's still not Naruto level so I'll manage. I am a bit disappointed though, first episode got me really hyped.
