I can't properly explain this without taking a special mention of the show's ending. There is zero tension to a story that goes out of its way to perform back flips around its lead.īut this isn't only limited to him, almost everyone that's given a name and a back-story is automatically in the safe-zone, even if they're stabbed through vital organs. This creates some of the most uninspired character struggle imaginable. It's like he himself becomes the embodiment plot armor, to the point where his existence is met with guaranteed immunity, regardless of consequence. And this doesn't just happen a few times, it happens in an endless cycle, most notably with our main protagonist MustProtectMyFamily-kun, who inexplicably survives more shit than even what's possible with the aid of basic plot armor. Throughout the show's run-time, this leads to numerous situations where our characters come face to face with death, only to have a last-minute dues ex machina tossed in to fish them out of troubled water. Every turn and corner lead into another questionable writing decision that really exposes the lack of foresight on the part of the creator, and improper planning on the part of the scriptwriters.
Its ineptitude runs deep into the core foundation of the show, from the garish narrative decisions to the downright terrible plot conveniences tossed in to bail itself out of a tight squeeze. The show just doesn't seem to have the proper comprehension of what is needed for it to make this kind of story work. You see, the problem with Seraph isn't the premise or idea, but rather the piss poor execution of it. And to no one's surprise, Owari no Seraph isn't going to be a show that defies that unspoken rule. But even when considering the long shelf-life that these kinds of stories offer, if it's poorly written, no amount of the garnishing and repacking can be done to salvage it.

These are the kind of stories that litter literature, cinema and TV on constant rotation, but despite that, can still offer up the same thrills and chair-gripping engagement expected from the best of them. A Zero-sum dice roll, where only one side can walk away rewarded. The end all be all fight where the stakes are set on the highest pedestal. It's the classic clash of ideals, where opposition reaches a breaking point of unreachable compromise. Now the setup for this season isn't all that bad, in fact, it's a traditional one that, if done right, can be quite rewarding to watch unfold. And while all this is going on, in the background, there's an even more sinister plan being conjured up by ImTheObviousBadGuy-sama and his cohorts. Picking up from where we left off, we follow our protagonist MustProtectMyFamily-kun and the squadron of vampire slayers, as they gear up for an impending all-out battle with the vampires, in what is to be an attempt to regain control of Earth for the sake of humanity's survival. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you "Generic: the anime." It has proven that when you really try hard enough, when you really push long enough, and when you really care enough, you can enter even denser shounen bullshit territory. It pushes forward into the throw-away abyss at breakneck speeds. Through the magic of fujoshi bait, God awful writing and the power of friendship, this anime becomes a firework display of stupidity rarely achieved by many. But I guess there is one noticeable change worth noting, and that's that the show somehow manages to get worse. If 1st season didn't hammer that point in, then this season surely made sure to get the job done. Owari no Seraph is the "How to make a Basic Shounen for Dummies" in visual format. It's still a poor man's version of better shounen stories, it's still subpar in quality, and it's still an intoxicating pile of throw-away excerpts from better-established premises and ideas. There's really no change when it comes to this ill-conceived hogwash of clichés and overused tropes. And perhaps that word is all that's needed to sum up this series. Now doesn't that just roll off the tongue with so much ease? Fits like a glove doesn't it? It's like the word itself was It's even better saying it out loud, follow after me and let's say it together:

Just say "it's generic" and a picture is immediately imprinted onto the minds of the audience as to what is to be expected. Simply attach it to the title of a show and it works as a description without any need for further elaboration. Generic: such a simple word, yet one that can also encapsulate a great deal of information with its utterance.
