Review of Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya

Overall, this anime was pretty bland and lacked that spark of excitement you would want from some fantasy story. (Spoilers from season 1 + 2) The plot mixes unnatural creatures and the modern world into one (which was strange because the idea of seeing lambos and helicopters in a story about vampires and demons seems very odd to me). As for the characters, I rated them a 4. In season one, we see the change Yuu had once he understands that teamwork is necessary and he can’t fight alone, in this season, there is absolutely no change in development in him. All that’s new is that he hassome scary god form who could defeat an Angel with salt.

None of the characters change throughout the series, they are just side characters who added no value to the plot. Kimizuki and Yoichi who’d you expect to be a big part of the plot, was just a random character thrown next to Yuu and kept yelling at him for his teeth gritting actions, same goes for mitsu and shinoa.

There are so many goals to achieve in a story, but the plot strays further from it and continues to add more and more unanswered questions. “Do you know how to change a vampire back to a human?” “No.” *fasts forward to saving guren and not one hint of how to revert vampires back to humans* it would be decades before we get to that point if the story just continues to fight vampires and kill more people.

I wasn’t surprised that this was pretty mediocre, as season 1 wasn’t as great either, but I honestly say this was worst than the first season. Barely any questions are answered, but more “plot twists,” keep appearing.

That being said, the OP, ED, and animation was solid. I did enjoy the Mika and Yuu interactions, even if it was only a couple minutes worth.
