Review of Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya

Despite the art being like the storyline, pretty boring and generic, this season was after all better than the first one. This season, I found myself disliking the protagonists of the show and did not care much at the end if they'd survive or not. I see nearly 0 character development and all the characters in the show seem very flat and uninteresting with the exception of Shinoa and Mitsuba, having somewhat of a background worth thinking about. They all kept speaking and acting in this very obvious (sometimes obnoxious) and specific way which kept the story very uninteresting and predictable. Secondly, the plot does notmake any sense from time to time. Some characters act very unrealistically. Like, there are multiple characters who frequently keeps disobeying the commands but are yet still allowed to participate in the battle (You can guess who). You are given no sense of time elapses and the plot overall was just confusing and a big mess with major plot holes.

Sadly, I did not notice any great musical performance. The music, very much like everything else, was very generic and basic. Not bad but nothing out of the ordinary.

The art though is very consistent but was in my opinion, very boring to look at. Very few shots with extraordinary art (If any?) and it all looked a bit childish at times so I found it hard to take some scenes seriously but that could've been that it was just me being not very fond of the art style. But as I said, no weird frames and everything looked like it was supposed to, I guess.

So was this season worth it? Yes, if you managed to get through the first one this one is way better but still not very top notch. After reading all this I do realise it sounds like I didn't enjoy the show at all but I really did. Overall, it was good and I'd watch another season if there would come one but this isn't an anime you'd discuss for months with others.
