After a promising first episode I think most viewers are hooked. However I think that the first episode does not quite portray the following first season well enough.

Although the first episode is incredibly fast paced the remaining of the first season is relatively slow. Yu's constantly angry attitude becomes tiresome and it is hard to sympathize with him. The whole training in an academy plot is also tedious and somewhat irritating since the first episode seemed to offer a more diverse storyline than what viewers have already seen from other series and movies.

However there is a release from the exasperation once Yu learns to let go of his anger. That is when the bond between him and his team strengthens and we begin to warm up to him and his friends. Because of the frustration I felt towards Yu, I felt the segments with Mika and the vampires to be a relieving change of scenery. The first season improves greatly towards the end.

Nonetheless I find the second season to be the better of the two. The character's have already grown on to you and the character development (especially Yu's) is very visible. The series also introduces many other characters who are interesting and shows other parts of the ongoing war between the species rather than simply focusing the entire time on Yu.

I can't get enough of this story and a voice inside of me is always wailing and crying saying that it's unfair that anime episodes are around 22 minutes long when I finish the newly aired episode.

Its an amazing anime. I would say one of the best. It deserves another season(season 3)

Being from the studio that made Attack on Titan I couldn't pass it up. Very action packed and has a lot of drama as well. You'll be amazed about how good it is. Give Seraph of the end a chance.

The show was great and I always couldn't wait to watch another episode but it ending in season 2 and definitely deserves a 3rd

If traditional gothic vampires are your thing then Seraph is probably not for you. There is little in the animation that is dark and sinister and this probably owes to the bright colour palette and the relatively weak soundtrack. The show is a fantasy-style blood fest rather than a true horror and should be categorised as such in the mind before viewing. All of this said, despite it's lack of visual edginess, it is an anime that has strong characters with likeable personalities and a strong sense of family, loyalty to friends and duty at the core of an entertaining storyline. If I'm honest, I wasn't expecting a lot, so I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged I was in the storyline and I enjoyed the series in the same way as I enjoyed the film Underworld. Admittedly, what was supposed to be a twist was easily fathomed early on, but there are some books that aren't epics and are nevertheless page turner's. For me this was the anime equivalent.
