Here is the thing: Owari no Seraph is a piece of mindless entertainment. It has everything to keep you occupied for a couple of hours but sadly not much else.
Story is pretty dumb. It is just there to justify the characters movement across the screen. We have a lot of angst and pump up drama – teen with anger issues and so on. Nothing out of ordinary! Most of the mainstream anime titles are like this. The good thing is that the apocalyptic scenery is constantly been overlapped by clichés such as school life, friendship and snippy remarks which makes the whole thing hilarious!
...
For that help a lot the smugdere – Shinoa and here we go to the second point:
Characters: Again nothing special. Overused archetypes and MC is fucked up emo shit but still their conversations are entertaining and cute at times. Not to mention the smugdere queen ;)
Music: It is over average. It is not the best Sawano work out there but it has more than enough good tracks. Especially in season two. OP/ED were nice as well.
Art/ character designs: Well good over all but not the greatest. The backgrounds were interesting but not used optimally much of the time. The characters are mostly bishies and bishoujos so no complains there.
Enjoyment: For me it was entertaining enough. I don`t look for the deeper meaning so I was more than happy with what I got.
Special note: Shounen ai vibes during the anime. Yep! One of the things I found hilarious! Especially the comments afterwards LOL. Come on! A few longing face expressions haven`t killed anyone. Don`t make it such a big deal ;)
Overall: I like it but won`t watch it a second time.
