This anime is amazingly, just beautiful everything... This is one of the best animes I have seen since Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. So People of the forums I welcome you to the show today we will be looking at Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign. If you didnt here 'Vampire' is in the title. So without any delay Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign. Lets Rock!

 

(spoiler for the first 3 episodes)

 

Story and Characters- In 2012, the world allegedly comes to an end at the hands of a human-made virus, ravaging the global populace and leaving only children untouched. It is at this time that vampires emerge from the recesses of the earth, likely followed by age-old horrors of the dark thought only to be myth. The vampires sweep the earth and claim it in a single violent stroke, subjugating the remnants of humanity and leading them beneath the surface to safety. This "protection" comes at the price of donating blood to their captors. At the age of twelve, Yūichirō and his friend and fellow orphan Mikaela plotted to escape along with the children in Hyakuya Orphanage. However, this resulted in their deaths and Mikaela sacrifices himself in order for Yūichirō to escape and be saved by members of the Moon Demon Company, an extermination unit of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. Four years later, Yūichirō dedicates his life to destroy vampires and seek revenge against them for murdering his "family".

 

This plot is far more intriguing than it sounds, although the first episode is a... not the best.

 

Yuichiro Hyakuya- When Yūichirō was twelve years old, he and his best friend and fellow orphan Mikaela plotted a plan with other children from the Hyakuya Orphanage to escape the vampires' captivity. However, their plan was foiled by Ferid Bathory, who then slaughtered his "family" and presumably Mikaela, who urged Yū to run away, a fact he regrets to this day. One of Yūichirō's driving forces is his need to destroy all vampires for what they did to his family, yet he doesn't allow revenge to consume him and instead chooses to become strong for his new family's sake. He enlisted in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army for vampire extermination, the Moon Demon Company. He is not always a good team player, but is kind and caring deep inside. His Demon Weapon is Ashuramaru, a possession-type demon weapon which takes the form of a katana.

 

Mikaela Hyakuya- Mikaela is the second remaining survivor of the Hyakuya Orphanage, and best friend of Yūichirō. He was thought to have died when escaping from the city of vampire, but was alive and turned into a vampire. He fights to rescue Yūichirō who is being used by humans.

 

Animation & Sound- The same studio (Studio WIT) that animated Attack on Titan animated this, and by heavens wrath this is amazing! Everything in the visuals department, also fights scences are amazingly fluid and very tense at times... Sound wise this anime has alot going for it has this sense of place and it plays nice backgroud music. So on that note everything is solid here.

 

This anime has great potenial telling a unique story and so far the series in going strong, On May, 13, 2015, Funimation announced that the English Broadcast Dub will stream every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. EDT on its "Dubble Talk" streaming block. Keeping that in mind i can't wait to see what this anime brings... Let the Depravity be with you humans... and as always 'Avert not thine eyes'....
