Review of Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya

This review will not contain any heavy spoilers. I will mostly comparing how things are in this season than the first season. "More fujobait but gets way better than the first season." Story : 9/10 It gets way better than the first season. We got a lot more backgrounds on what's happening. The start are kinda slow and filled with daily lives of them in the main basecamp and some events to tie up the "Yuu's awakening" incident. The main story kicks in a few episodes later where they are sent to Nagoya for war, hence the season title. The finale was also as great as the firstseason.

Art : 9/10
The art are as good as the first season with oily hand-drawn paintings as backgrounds, and it meshes well with the animation that used thick lines as borders. The animation also got better, no more awkward scenes like where Mika's feet gliding trough the stairs like in the first season.

Sound : 10/10
Sawano Hiroyuki. Also we now got fripSide for OP and Yanagi Nagi for ED, I particularly loved the ED.

Character : 8/10
Now Yuu aren't as annoying as he was in S1, he's gotten more mature somehow and doesn't yell "I'm going to kill every vampires" every 5 minutes anymore. Another notable improvements are Shinoa and Guren, now Shinoa got more personalities than just the smugness people praise her for. We also got a better look at Guren's personalities. Overall the Shinoa squad members' interaction are better with each other. And we also got more Mika on screen now.

Enjyoment : 8/10
Shonen being a shonen, the battle hype is really good, it was fun to see people hacking up other people with swords and various arms imbued with a demon. There are also a few comedy scenes which is good to break the ice.

Overall : 9/10
tl;dr It's better than the first season, if you didn't like the first one, you might like this one.
