Our main character is Yuuichiro Hyakuya who starts off as a very “I’m better than you”, “give me what I want” kind of character. I found the story to be quite interesting, although slow at times, and it definitely maid binge watching it a whole lot easier because I was always waiting for the next episode. However, Seraph decides to mix it up a little and have the driving story not to be protecting the vampire’s existence a secret, but instead to stop them from trying to take over the world. Usually they are hidden and the public is unaware of their existence so the plot will surrounding keeping that secret. Which is something that happens in very few vampire anime out there. I saw a review of this show done by a YouTuber I watch and he talked about how the human society actually knows of the vampire’s existence. Sure, vampires are not exactly an original concept, but the idea of this virus being used as a scare tactic to lure children to donate their blood was kind of interesting. I thought that the Seraph ’s story was actually pretty good. We are then fast forwarded to a few years later to Yuuichiro trying to become a member of the Moon Demon Company to take revenge on the vampires who killed his family. The only survivor of the attempt is Yuuichiro who is found and rescued by some members of the Moon Demon Company, a military unit dedicated to killing the vampires. Tired of their captivity, Mikaela creates an escape plan that was doomed before it began. The vampire claim that they will protect the children from this virus as long as they donate their blood to the vampires. We are introduced to young Yuuichiro and Mikaela Hyakuya who taken captive by the vampires along with the orphanages other children, or the rest of the two boys’ family. So our story is about a mysterious virus that is released all over the world which is said to kill everyone over the age of 13. I have not yet watched the second season for reasons that I will mention towards the end of the review. Now before I get to the plot and all the other goodness I just want to make it clear that I am only going to review season 1 of the show, so the first 12 episodes. There is also an OVA titled Seraph of the End: Vampire Shahal which will be released in May 2016. There have been a few manga and light novel spin-offs, as well as a few games that were produced. A sequel series, Seraph of the End: Battle in Nagoya, premiered in October 2015 and finished airing in December 2015, also with 12 episodes. The manga is published in Japanese by Shueisha in “Jump SQ” and also in English by Viz Media in “Weekly Shonen Jump”. It ended in June 2015.It is based off of a manga of the same name written by Takaya Kagami and illustrated by Yamato Yamamoto with storyboards by Daisuke Furuya. Seraph of the End is a 12 episode anime that originally aired almost a year ago in April 2015 as a part of the Spring Anime Season. So here is my 27th Anime Review for an anime that was thrust in my hands without me expecting it: Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign ! I put Your Lie in April to the side for a while and watched this show. She came back with a copy of Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign and told me to try it and return it to her when I was done. My vice president from the anime club I was in came running up to me and was like “I have something for you in my car!” and she darts away. I was waiting in line to order when I kept hearing my name being called over and over. I was like “okay” and planned on running there and back so I could keep trucking through Your Lie in April. I was five episodes in when my Mom asked me to run over to the fish fry and get dinner and bring it home. I was at home for spring break and had already started watching Your Lie in April for my next review. In fact, it never happened to me until just over a week ago. Story Time!! When you are someone like me who has very few friends in real life who watch anime, having someone throw a DVD at you telling you to “watch this now” does not happen everyday.
