Today's pick in the Daily Anime Pick-Series where I pick one anime each day that I think is worth watching is Owari no Seraph!
With this anime you get new approach to vampire stories: Humanity was decimated by a virus leaving only children. Vampires emerge and try to take control, suppressing those young survivors and making them donate their blood. Under those children on day a group tries to escape the vampires' reign but instead of ending in an successful escape it was a bloodshed. Only one child was able to escape: Yuuichirou Hyakuya. He gets picked up by a human force tasked to exterminate the vampires. As Yuuichirou seeks revenge for his lost friends he meets new friends that share this path with him.
If you like battle animes I suggest giving it a go. Currently there are two seasons for you to enjoy. Visuals and soundtrack as well as overall execution are quite well making it the perfect choice if you're looking for a new anime to watch.
Description
With the appearance of a mysterious virus that kills everyone above the age of 13, mankind becomes enslaved by previously hidden, power-hungry vampires who emerge in order to subjugate society with the promise of protecting the survivors, in exchange for donations of their blood.
Among these survivors are Yuuichirou and Mikaela Hyakuya, two young boys who are taken captive from an orphanage, along with other children whom they consider family. Discontent with being treated like livestock under the vampires' cruel reign, Mikaela hatches a rebellious escape plan that is ultimately doomed to fail. The only survivor to come out on the other side is Yuuichirou, who is found by the Moon Demon Company, a military unit dedicated to exterminating the vampires in Japan.
Many years later, now a member of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, Yuuichirou is determined to take revenge on the creatures that slaughtered his family, but at what cost?
Owari no Seraph is a post-apocalyptic supernatural shounen anime that follows a young man's search for retribution, all the while battling for friendship and loyalty against seemingly impossible odds.
