Anime Otaku Paradise: April 2015

As you can hopefully see, Owari no Seraph's animation/art looks amazing. On fleek, as some girls would state about their perfectly lined brows. Why? Because the same key animators of Attack on Titan are doing OnS. Yes. This anime series just might be the next AoT. The anime of 2015. I can already see it happening on tumblr. Besides, Yuu already reminds me too much of Eren Jaeger and Rin Okumura's love child--

**beyond this point, major spoilers and all taken from the Owari no Seraph wiki and Wikipedia, I own nothing as usual ;;

Yūichirō Hyakuya 「百夜優一郎, Hyakuya Yūichirō」is the main protagonist of the Owari no Seraph series. He is a member of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army and Shinoa Hīragi's squad in the Moon Demon Company. He, along with Mikaela Hyakuya, possesses the "Seraph" gene, which is relevant to the forbidden taboo and the focal point of the story, "Seraph of the End". He is brave, fearless and somewhat reckless, which was shown at the beginning of Chapter 2 when he attacks a Four Horsemen of John while ignoring orders. It is noted not to be the first time. Yu is often called an idiot by those who know him. He is a very narrow-minded person, whose goal is to annihilate all of the vampires because of what they did to his "family," and he will overcome any type of challenge in order to accomplish it. He swore to kill all vampires because they killed Mika.

Mikaela Hyakuya

Mikaela Hyakuya 「百夜ミカエラ, Hyakuya Mikaela」 is the deuteragonist of the Owari no Seraph series. He is an incomplete vampire and a servant of Third Progenitor Krul Tepes. He was human until Krul Tepes bit herself and shoved her tongue down his throat. He, along with Yūichirō Hyakuya, possesses the "Seraph" gene, which is relevant to the forbidden taboo and the focal point of the story, "Seraph of the End."

As a human, Mika was kind and upbeat in spite of the harsh events in his childhood. He was able to keep smiling and be happy because of his adopted family at the orphanage and even managed to befriend the extremely stubborn Yu. Mika was shown to be cunning. He allowed Ferid Bathory to drink his blood in exchange for good food, but Mika's true purpose was to steal a map in order to escape with the other children.

However, Ferid expected this and slaughtered Mika's family in front of him. By sacrificing himself, Mika was able to protect Yu, but he was fatally injured in the process. He pushed Yu, insisting he escape and leave Mika behind. In his final moments, he was happy that Yu finally accepted them as his family and stated that he could die in peace as long as at least Yu survived.
Unfortunately, Mika is turned into a vampire against his will and comes to hate vampires more than ever.

As a self-loathing and moody vampire, Mika is a pale shadow of his former self. He never smiles and always looks unhappy. He is a loner and only has real conversations with Krul and Ferid. Although Lacus keeps attempting to make conversation with him, Mika usually ignores him. He rushes into battle without caring about glory. While fighting, Mika maintains a cold expression. Unlike other vampires, Mika doesn't view the humans as livestock, but he develops hatred toward them upon learning what they did to Yu.

i swear he's the next Armin and Yuu's Eren

Lieutenant Colonel Guren Ichinose

Guren Ichinose 「一瀬グレン, Ichinose Guren」is the main protagonist of the Owari no Seraph: Ichinose Guren, Jyuurokusai no Catastrophes series and an important character in the Owari no Seraph series. He is a Lieutenant Colonel of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army and the commanding officer of the Moon Demon Company.

Guren was naive in his childhood days and spent most of his time with Mahiru. His aspects on life felt simple as he was in his happy moments. But after he was treated with disgust due to his name as a lowly born branch member, he began to feel guilt. He though that because of his weak physique and power, he couldn't reach out for what he wanted, which was hinted to be Mahiru. She motivated him to become stronger and wiser.

He is a wise leader who values teamwork and cooperation, determined to preserve the survival of the human race from demons and vampires. When Yūichirō wants to join the Moon Demon Company, Guren refuses to allow him until Yūichirō made friends. He pretends to be lazy, but he actually works hard and keeps many secrets, which he has no difficulty lying about. He plans to dethrone the Hīragi family. He cares about his subordinates and friends, considering them to be family.

Guren is an intelligent scientist, capable of developing Cursed Gear. He even creates a method with a very high rate of success for the development of humans, who can bear Black Demon Series weaponry. He proves himself as a capable swordsman, strategist, and leader on the battlefield. He is rumored to have even recaptured Shinjuku from the vampires with a single team.

Sergeant Shinoa Hīragi

She has a sarcastic attitude and doesn't put much emotions into her words. Shinoa is somewhat perverted and enjoys teasing others at any opportunity. She generally tends to smirk before teasing or performing her antics at others, putting them in uncomfortable situations. She keeps many secrets. Although Shinoa is inexperienced, she leads her squad well and remains levelheaded in battle. Because of her circumstances with the Hīragi family, Shinoa grew up without knowing what a sibling even is and never truly cared about anyone until her current squad was formed. She greatly respects Yūichirō's resolve and feelings toward his family and wants to help him.

However, it wasn't until after she lost the mock battle between her squad and Guren Ichinose's three-man squad inchapter 26, did Shinoa finally realize the fear of losing someone important to her and even a tiny mistake or her pranks can cost her family their lives. Also, she and her squad can grow even stronger and the closer they grow, the more powerful they'll become.^[2]^[3]

It is shown in chapter 10 that Shinoa has a vulnerable complex about her short stature when Yūichirō and Shihō teased her for being too short to drive a car, she then proceeded by materializing her Cursed Gear and "executed" them.^[4]

She later develops feelings for Yūichirō, but they do not appear to be reciprocated.

As a member of the Hīragi Family, Shinoa proves herself qualified to handle a weapon of the Black Demon Series when Guren engulfed the classroom with his Cursed Gear's aura in chapter 6, albeit the weapon she wields is a lower class. She leads her squad well. She remains levelheaded and takes a analytical approach at dire situations. She is knowledgeable about weapons, demons, and vampires as well as the army politics.

Shikama Dōji 「四鎌童子, lit. Four-Scythe Child」: A manifestation-type demon weapon strongest at mid-range. Shinoa takes out a pen-length black rod and spins it, which then transforms into a black massive scythe with a thick, black aura around it. She can call out the demon, which she fondly addresses as "Shi," inhabiting it out of the weapon to attack an enemy. Her primary ability is to detect anything that comes within the attack radius of her scythe.
