Review of Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya

I wish this was not a second season and a continuation of the first season making it a total of 24 episodes that I could have rated better altogether, unfortunately that was not the case. The reason for this, is that I would have had a better Overall rating than I gave for each season on it's own. After watching the first season it was understandable that the setting needed to be revealed and back stories needed to be told, etc... so I saw it to be a little slow until it got some action after 2/3 of the anime had passed. So then Irated it a 7. I'm almost done watching this second season I know I I'll be giving it a 9. There were parts where I was anxious, surprised, concerned, sad, and I even cried a little. This season gave me what I wanted and I enjoyed it very much.

It made me feel bad I gave the first season a 7, but that just what I felt it deserved seeing as it just ended with the god stuff happening almost to the end. So that is why I really wished it would have all been a 24 episode 1st season instead. This time, my enjoyment surely maxed out, and I was certainly not disappointed. If I had to go back and re-rate the first season knowing what would come afterward, I would have given it an 8; however, I will not because that's just how I felt it was, and having it spit up that way was not my choice. At least the first season was good enough to make me want to see this second season and I'm glad I did.

All that being said, here are my ratings for the following:

Story: 8/10
With season 1 out of the way, the progression of the story and this particular arc (battle of Nagoya) was very interesting to me, and we get to see a lot of action. It's what I was looking for in the first place, but it wouldn't have been as enjoyable without the story-telling in season 1.

Art: 9/10
This rating has to do specifically with the animation and execution of the battle/fighting scenes since ,well, the overall art is the same as the first season. When I saw a noble vampire strike Guren, you could have felt the power and intensity from just watching it.

Sound: 8/10

Character: 8/10
This Mika and Yuuichiro thing is my weakness. Say yes to friendships <3

Enjoyment: 10/10
I definitely got more into this second season than I did with the first. Looking forward to see more in the future.

OVERALL: 8.6/10 which translates to a 9 (if you round it off hehe)
