    The beginning is pretty standard, but I’m following the manga and with all the added backstories and lore, it’s gotten a lot more interesting for me personally. The manga explains how vampires came into being, and the anime didn’t cover the good parts in the first two seasons, since everyone gets meaningful development afterwards, especially Guren as a villain. He has a whole other manga focusing on his childhood and how he accepted the mind control in favour of his love for her.

      You should read “catastrophe at sixteen” or “the story of vampire mikaela” it further explains the developing and writing of a lot of the characters 🙃

    The anime definitely didn’t get into all of the good stuff and the manga is SO much better. It introduces so many new characters that are just so interesting and all of the lore is just so cool to watch unfold. It makes Yuu and Mika a billion times more interesting than in the anime, they aren’t just two dimensional characters in the manga, they have advanced and deep emotions and thought processes that make moments with them extremely touching and intricate. Honestly, if they ever decide to continue the anime, season 2/3 would a lot more intriguing and fun to watch considering all the world building that happens.

    • @Kazkokia
      @Kazkokia Před rokem +9

      Honestly I would prefer them to make a whole different series and get the manga lore more accurate. Maybe if they recreated the series they would get better animation, more money and it would honestly be a new fresh start. What I’m saying is that a reboot would be so much better than a 3rd season

  • @moriko-chan1059
    @moriko-chan1059 Před rokem +37

    Tbh what makes it so frusstrating is that the show screams missed potential.
    The concept and ideas lied down in the first episode are really good. But executed poorly and not touched upon.
    Like Mikas transformation into a vampire is a good groundworking. He doesn´t want to be a vampire cause he sees them as evil but he needs blood to survive. It could have also helped flashing the vampires out more like him meeting some of them just doing it for surviving but treating humans better while others seeing humans as their livestock (aka the vampires who are on top of the system right now). It was done okay but coukd have been way better if they´d introduce a good vampire side character besides Krul.
    The main problem issue of the mid writing is that most characters and especially Yuu lack the bare minimum smartness required for a show with a surviving apocalypse concept.
    F.e. the show and manga make it clear that Guren does horrible things and manipulates others. Yet anyone forgives and follows him trustfully becuase he is family??? If Yuus team was using their brain more and actually decide to cut ties with him - it could have been good.
    The other big issue is adding the demon possession thing and the angels. It packs the show with too many storystrings/ lackluster moments which broke the shows neck in the manga. A system that gave vampires a weakness to a certain element where weapons are crafted from would have been better.

  • @cab9787
    @cab9787 Před 2 lety +92

    They call the Mac “Yuu” sounding like the word ‘you’ for his full name it’s ‘you-i-chi-ro’ they do not call Yuu yoichi lol
    We were robbed by the anime I really hate how they took or changed so many scenes I recommend you read it a lot of things are answered there which the anime took away.
    Manga spoilers:
    Horsemen are summoned by seraphs. They are based of a religion a lot of things are based on different religions
    Vampires were created by seraph blood if a human is compatible with consuming seraph blood that happens.
    Also don’t watch the DUB please 😭😭😭😭

    It's definitely not the best series ever, but I've been completely obsessed with mika for the past 4 years and all I need to love a show is 1 good character, and I like a few others like krul, ashera, and shinya, it definitely has a a few problems that became really obvious in the manga but as long as I keep getting mika I'll keep reading it every month and it'll be a favorite of mine.

    The past two months I binged the manga and enjoyed my time with it. I honestly didn’t even know the anime existed and was thinking “man I wish it was an anime” but seeing how the anime is kinda puts me off but I kinda wish it gets like a reboot cuz the story isn’t that bad and the music and fight scenes are a little better then I thought they would and I feel it might be better received now then it was in the past.

  • @torbenmouche469

  • @blue_bunnii701

    Man, this brings back memories. I've never seen much reviews of this and it's quite refreshing to see it now. I've hated the highschool part because it was unnecessary, I get it's like to have the characters to learn much about the world but it was a bit weird when they stay a bit long in school. Instead of having characters to set in school, why not have MC go straight into fights and show that he need to do teamwork with other people and learn combats along the journey that way it shows they have improved and it earns them to be overpower. Also, you were right about the dialogues, they are actually quite bad but funny. Young me never realized how many flaws it has.
    The only character I like was Mika, he had a real cool character development and an interesting perspective. The MC is really annoying and i don't like him at all. In my honest opinion, Mika would've have make a great protagonist. Seeing how he struggles as a vampire, how he gets stronger and the interactions with other vampires. It's a lot more interesting. The manga is better as it answers some questions. I am kept up to date.

    The first part where the humans just "happen" to be there was cause well it was planned. Also the first episode where is outside is cause well he was a soldier but he couldn't work with others and diobeyed commands and ended up in school. Also yes the anime is so confusing. I recommed reading the manga for better info and the anime cut off interesting scenes like the experiments that were done to the dude's sister.

    I personally absolutely loved the manga (oh god the art style is just beautiful) and the universe of the show in general, even if I agree some characters REALLYYY lack development and depth, which really is a shame bc they had lots of potential. so when I saw the anime I was beyond disappointed. Like why do they talk like that ?? And why does the animation look so unnatural ?? Also the manga covers really heavy and somewhat religious themes with lots of symbolism, so why does the anime adaption look like some show you would put on for your 11yo kids

    The anime yeah I agree a 4-5/10. The manga is a lot more better.
    -SPOILERS-
    It explains a lot more in the manga as most do but it sucks on how the anime changed and left out so much. How Mika went on a mission before and it showed another seraph experiment and was begging for Mika to kill him.
    I don’t like the four month time skip and if they ever do make a season 3 I hope they show how during those months Yuu was in and out of demon state and was locked in chains.
    With current chapters it focuses a lot more around Mika and Yuus relationship. The manga gets a solid 8.5/10 it’s super good. The plot is sorta confusing still but everything really does get explained more. So I do recommend it.

  • @FerociousMit
    @FerociousMit Před 11 měsíci +3

    The story deserved to continue, every anime has its flaws, this ones main issue was not having the chance to reveal it all. Over the years i have made a pretty big theory that answered some of it. I know the manga had the origin of vamps, but i never read the manga as I can't find the full set, only single volumes. When it came to demons, we learned that humans could be turned into demons, as seen with Guran's cursed gear, but it was also shown that his was unique to the other cursed gear. That made me think that the demons within the black and green cursed gear have had to be different in some way, that was when I realized the queen of the vamps told mika he had to drink human blood or "shrivel up and become a demon" which made me think that vampires become demons after being starved so long. Demons would probably be a type of spirit they lock into the weapons. That would explain why they kept the female vamp locked up to starve, the one that attacked the school. Then we have the random horsemen, and if you look at them, some of them have angel wings, and when we learn that Yu has more than just a demon in him, his demon refers to the seraph as an angel. Since humans were the ones to experiment on the seraph, i bet they caused the horsemen to come about. The idea the horsemen came out of thin air is stupid, so i theorize that they are the adult victims of the the vampire virus, that were somehow accidentally or purposely turned into the horsemen. The humans are shown to be just as bad as the vampires in time. They probably only used demons in order to survive until they could harnass seraphs. The humans really didnt know the powers they were playing with, and the angel inside of yu, the kind of salt, saw it fit to punish the humans. This anime may have been full of tropes, and had its terrible moments, but at the end of the day its story was unique and interesting. It wasnt the same copy paste vampire vs human story we are all familiar with. This is a story where it seems like the war between vamps and humans plays a smaller role into its overall narrative, and it's more about doing what is right in a world that constantly wants to do wrong on all sides. The added threat of demons and angels just makes it that much crazier, also not only that, but vampires here arent the same boring versions they always are. It's also really refreshing to see they didnt fully sexualize the vampires, yes they made the queen cute, but it wasnt like devils line where the vampires simply went beserk cuz they wanted to have sex, or vampire knight where the human has a love triangle with a vampire embracing his vampire ways, and a vampire that refused to give up his humanity. Seraph of the end was just simply the best vampire story.

    I’ve only watched seraph of the end like twice and that was years ago, it still will always have a place in my heart and I still regard it as one of my fav anime’s but I think the reason I refuse to rewatch it now is cuz I’m low key scared I’ll ruin the memory and past experience of watching if I rewatch it now. Honestly this anime coulda been an 9/10 if they hadn’t thrown a bunch of nonsense plot devices out nowhere every few minutes. Also after this review I’m tempted to rewatch it so I prolly will, even if I cringe and don’t like to story as much as I used to after I do I just know that it will strangely still be one of my favs just cuz of the impact it had on me when I was younger and how happy I was watching it. Like till now “SOOOO WHERE ARE YOUUU NOOOOOOW” still lives in my head rent free. And don’t get me started on the high school setting at the beginning, that was so random like why not be strictly an army type set up, that woulda been way more interesting not a whole ass high school.

    There are probably multiple animes that I used to love, and still remember fondly and love, but which I wouldn’t be able to rewatch without some problems. Coming to mind are Familiar of Zero, a very fun and good anime but with way too much filler and romantic triangles. I still remember it being very good when it actually kept focus and the music was really really good.
    The other one is Sora no otoshimono (Heavens lost property) which was one of the first animes I ever watched and really enjoyed. Had it not been for the multiple filler episodes (even if some of them were fun) and the extreme horniness (that of course existed in most young teen anime) I would probably give it a rewatch.

Yu is insufferable and you could make a drinking game out of how many times to say the word "family" comes up. The main characters' main goal is stupid and there is way too much side swapping. It's just irritating.
    Fun Fact: I watched Noragami and Kekkai Sensen prior to this, so I heard Kimizuki's voice throughout 3 different shows in a row.

    This anime have been one of my first anime that I watched, back then it was perfect to me and now it is still the same. I rewatched this show 8 times and everytime enjoyed it and I can say this is still my favourite one. This anime is just different from other shows, I love the art style, music, dynamic of fights, deep story and it is not fucking around when it comes to show brutality, it is dark fantasy after all. I like videos like this because i can see what other people think about this anime, but some of your arguments seems to be just nitpicking details. I watched this anime so many times that I can explain majoryty of your questions. They are obvious to me but I know this anime inside and out, and if you watched this anime cassually without diging into it maybe some things can be unclear, this is understable. I don't know if you red the manga or are aware what is happenning next, but I don't wanna spoil anything, so i will just say, anime is good adaptation of manga but manga is more complex and after the anime ends story changes significantly. The ending of anime is different, thats true, but it gives the same concept as in manga but in simpler way and we don't know whats going on if we saw just anime. Anime itself is just undone and it is missing so much by not giving us more seasons, plot of the anime seems to be simple but when we look at manga whole story it gets 10 times better, anime is just nice beginning to true masterpiece. But let's back to the anime itself because this is the topic of that film. I agree with you that fight at 17:37 was garbage, but that is the worst scene in whole anime and fights in this episode was done worse than in rest of the show. Also I don't know why people gets mad because there is school in early episodes, it is shown cool and it is not even boring to watch, legit, in every episode is fight regardless if they are in school or outside i have watched many anime that before episode like 4 don't show much action, but this anime is full of action. Moving on, origin of vampires and those apocalipse creatures, this is explained in the manga later on and it is not nessesery in anime so it wasn't there, little spoiler about where did they come from in bracket (▶So simply after apocalypse monsters started to showing up to wipeout remaining life, and vampires were humans long ago but they were changed by drinking blood of first vampire but technicaly something else than vampire he looks like angel basicly I don't really know at the moment but something like this ◀) Next, voice of Yoichi, I don't know who watches english dubed anime but in japanese it is okay. Why are characters so strong out of the sudden? They get the best weapon that gives them power of demon that is inside weapon, and they are compatible with it because they were born with seraphs virus i simplyfied that but basicly that is nearly true, later on they will control demons better but in episode 7 they have good weapon but they have lack of teamplay, vampires are strong and in this sytuacion more numerous as well so regardless of good weapon vampires are still dangerous. I will end up right there I agree with some of your arguments but, there I wrote my biggest objections about some aspects of your video that I can not agree to, sorry for making it that long but I feel bad that those minor inaccuracies were inflated to the point where I was wondering why you are nitpicking so much.

      Thank you for the insightful comment. I’d recommend some paragraph structure tho in the future (makes it much easier to read).
      This video was made not so much as a dense critique but a retrospective with the focus on entertainment first rather than making a statement about whether the show is good or bad etc. So please don’t take my inflation of the nitpicks as a means to make the show look bad or worse to deter people from checking it out. I just did what would make for the most fun video (watching it in dub was one of those choices)
      I think based off what you’re saying it sounds like this anime should get a remake that actually makes an effort to flesh out the foundations of this post apocalypse rather than just thrusting us in it with no real understanding of how it works. A lot of my issue lie in that aspect but when you turn your brain off and just enjoy it for what it is, it’s an entertaining time. I still hold the show highly in my memory but I now see that it wasn’t quite as good as I once thought.
      I have a soft spot for this show and just wanted an excuse to talk about it again.

    • @mikaelahyakuya2033
      @mikaelahyakuya2033 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thank you for the answer. Sorry for making last comment hard to read and lack of paragraphs. I was focusing on letting my thoughts go out instead of making effort to make it look better.
      I now understand your point and that I jumped to conclusions. I have watched a lot of similar videos and I feel bad when people sometimes give it low score because they are convinced that this anime is mid or it follows the standard pattern of dumb protagonist that makes his revenge or this anime is gay and etc. maybe I became more harsh because of it, and more commonly see that when any creator makes film about this anime and presents it in a bad light people in comments are denying it and says - this anime was nice what are you talking about or something like that. So I don't know anymore if creators are just joking around because they know that they will make lots of people upset and fans of that anime are a good target actually, but these are just my guesses XD.
      Anyway, I don't feel like this anime needs remake but more seasons instead, things are expiained better when we go further in that story, and anime is not missing out a lot of things. It seems like this story was made for it to make people confused at the start but then it explains more and more and when we go back to the beginning we can actually see that it was preparing us for that. for example: and here will be little spoiler in bracket (▶We know that Crowley is 13th progenitor but actually he is 7th because he drank blood of 2nd progenitor and not of Ferid 7th progenitor. Ferid gave Crowley blood of his father, but he said to vampires that he gave him his blood. so Crowley is as powerful as Ferid but i feel like Ferid is stronger anyway because he is older and vampires gets more powerful with age. So in anime when we see Crowley fighting both squads he has no problem to defeat them, but we would expect he will strugle because Shinoa squad with Narumi squad defeted 15th progenitor that was only 2 ranks lower than Crowley. ◀). I agree with you this anime can be watched like nobrainer without carring to much of further story just to have fun, thats why we watch anime after all to feel pseasure. But it kinda hurts to see it hadn't continuation, so maybe more people would get into the further story and enjoy it as well.

    @chriscc2297 Před rokem +2

    MANGA - If you start it off with the manga and continue like that, it goes much better in my opinion. The characters also aren't so tropy and laughable right away, in fact they completely cut out Mika's backstory in the anime introduction, along with the other kids. Mika was abused and thrown out of a moving vehicle/abandoned, and the other kids share their less-than-ideal backstories as well, very happily might I add, to Yuu, and then say that they're happier since they have a family now. The characters also get more development in the manga, the villains and main characters. The anime skipped over everything that meant anything much and anything that was good. The characters feel much more alive and more interesting, and instead of being two dimensional like the anime ones, most have deeper emotions and their thought processes are much more advanced, it makes moments between characters and others touching and intricate, and the attention to detail and information we gain as readers is much greater than in the anime. The pacing and build up is much better from what I've read and seen than in the anime. Alos that walking into the sea thing never happened in the manga, I don't know what that was-
    ANIME - If you really wanna watch the anime, the sub is much better than the dub for this one, as the characters have more emotion and even the beginning isn't as cheesy and tropy. The characters also feel more alive and say some things that are in the manga that dub doesn't say. The things they say also aren't as cheesy or weird, although they do call them bloodsuckers and vampires, as that's what they are. Although I wouldn't suggest only watching the anime and instead looking to the manga for some answers at times, whether it be for backstories, info on things, the origin/making of things, and more details about things such as the seraph that the anime doesn't give us. The music and directing also seems better in the sub than the dub, but the animation isn't gonna change lol. If they ever continue the anime, the 2/3 season would be much more fun and interesting to watch, or (even better) if they just restart it all.
    Also he isn't called Yuuichi, Yoichi is a different character, and they call him Yuu like 'you' because Yuuichiro is his name.

  • @mikxaezla
    @mikxaezla Před rokem +1

    The anime leaves a lot of things out, also, seraph of the end is a sequel, it’s the sequel of “catastrophe at sixteen” and I’m guessing that a lot more things are explained in there, but the anime leaves off a lot of thing that were in the manga, it also adds things that weren’t in the manga, which gets annoying, but the series is pretty solid, there’s some times when the writing gets iffy, but my man kagami literally saves it every time at the vary last moment 💀

    I think the ending of it in the anime was just there to have an ending in manga it doesn't just goes like that like everyday every once 1-2 minutes demon takes over the control of Yuu and it said to be that its been happening for days or smth ig later on he learned how to control it I dont fully remember
    But also the dub sucks seriously everything the characters says feel so cringe to hear especially the specific words they chose to voice that's why the sub is better
    I think the Anime and manga is good not for everyone ofc it may be boring or in manga case complicated also has some scenes that hasn't been explained and some characters just disappears in the manga after some point and some parts doesn't even makes really sense but somewhere in the manga explains what Anime didn't Idk that's all I can say

    You did not just call Yu(ichiro) Yoichi 🤣 They do NOT call him Yuichi in the anime, lmao. They call him YUU as in "you".
    That aside, OnS will forever be my favorite anime + manga, no matter the many wrong things with it. The story telling and character development in the anime did not age well but I do feel like they rushed it and didn't really pay attention to the details. Also, they dragged the anime out a lot. The two seasons are just the intro of the story which is a pitty. I would've really enjoyed to see more of the background stories and the lore when it comes to the seraphs/vampires/demons etc. The manga answers so many questions that they left unanswered in the anime. Oh, well. You can't have it all. Maybe they will make a 3rd season but I (sadly) doubt it, since it didn't sell good (which still saddens me since the story in the manga is amazing). Also, Kagami, the author of the manga, takes his time when it comes to finishing the manga. Like, it has been on-going for more than 10 years and he drags the lore out so many times when one chapter only lasts maximum 5 minutes to read and then you're left with more questions than before, lol. So, yeah. Even though there's so much wrong with it, it kind of makes it good(?).

    Like many said, the manga is so much better.
    However, it has also so many defaults. Like, what the freak is the Seraph of the End? They told us that it is a human experiment (we get no information on how it happens, which kids are selected, how the experiments go, what substance they get injected, why they do it) and then it becomes somewhat of a consequence from the First vampire, or i don't even know?? The manga throws at you notions without even explaining them to you, or when it does, it either skips details or doesn't make sense. Also the characters are dumbarses. It is acknowledge that Yuu is from the very beginning, he's worse than most shounen protagonists but his desire to protect his family later is explained and you can understand why he cares so much and it is actually interesting to delve into it, anyway. He is an annoyance but the others. Oh my god. Have they got a brain??? They see their comrades get slaughtered yet they are still like "But Guren must have had a reason!!! He's not bad!!!"
    Man I like the manga a lot!! But I hate it too at the same time! It's good in a way, you should always take a step back and criticise what you enjoy. This manga has so much potential (it's still being published) yet it manages to fail spectatularly. You cannot leave your spectator hanging for a hundred chapters to finally get an answer to fundamental lore that the reader might ask themself since they started reading. It's not normal to have a reader say "hold on, I don't get it, the last chapters they've been saying X ... Huh? Well... Maybe they will talk about it in the next chapters?..." --> 50 chapters later : "Oh! Ok so MAYBE that's why??" but then another misunderstanding arises. In addition to the lack of depth regarding some protagonists, the pacing in this show is a huge problem. It's so slow while being too fast.
    Anyway! Nice video, and I had a lot of fun watching it! Thank you!
