Enjoyed the first epi, kinda sad the hot vampire voiced by Takahiro Sakurai died, I was all in when they showed him
Figured the kids were done for as the summary on ANN basically spoils it. Definitely watching more.

Ok since I apparently epicly missed that character walking at the top of the vampire crowd in EP1, and thus had to look it up after getting a bad feeling when hearing 'Tepes' again...
If you know the source materials please answer this just with yes/no and no spoilers. So before I got to drop it mid season like that other anime... Is this safe to watch, in the sense of questionable scenes with above mentioned vampire? I don't really want to half a season of an anime again just to drop it like dance in the vampire bund

Otherwise lets just say there was a scene that could easily make people feel extremely unconfortable and awkward, and included a vampire queen named' Tepes' + a less... anime like? coloring style. ^ Only anime I ever dropped past having seen EP 3 But yeah as long as there is no strange stuff with the Vampire queen in Owari no Seraph shown I can deal with it. Was afraid I had to drop this one too Thanks for answering.

Actually, from what I've read from others who have read the manga, they say that Yuu's character was scaled back a lot from the original material.
I won't deny that he is like Eren to a degree. I happen to like Eren a lot, so that's not a problem for me, but I also can't say he's as extreme as Eren either. He doesn't like to passively accept anything and wants to fight back, and can act a bit sullen and stubborn at times, but when he realizes what Mikaela did for their family unit, he's apologetic. I would say, that he's kind of "Eren lite" if that makes any sense, at least in the anime so far.

I would really suggest you see at least the first few episodes to see if you like Yuu. You, yourself, are a better judge of if you like or can stand his character. I don't find him annoying, and while I liked Eren, there were a few times I thought he was annoying a little. But like I said, you can judge best.

Thought the only way to kill vampires was to behead a vampire or to stab a cross through their heart or something? at least thats the typical vampire weakness (and maybe onions! would've been great if the curry could've hurt the vampire!)

Yuu is, as far as he knows, the only one to even dare talking. And he does it while right under the thumb of the vampires. |

And to be accurate, Eren character had several aspects I hated that mixed all together made him really intolerable for me. But he had one and only awesome saving grace. I hope at least that Yuu won't be incompetent Spoiler for mild comparison to AoT:
He was 12yo back then and the lesson should have been clear. Now I'm curious to see if it has been at least to a certain degree.

If previosly I've been moderately joking, now I'm starting to be truly scared
No, seriously, what I was trying to say is that I don't think they will be able to mix ALL that aspects together again. So it should be fine more or less **.

So that was to say I'm looking forward to see if this show will have some strong female character or what, and so have a better idea of it.

So I finally watched the episode.
As an anime watcher: Not too bad, but overall the first episode was kind of boring until the end. Yuu is annoying, as you'd expect a bratty kid to be. Nice animation and a decent soundtrack. There's a lot of violence but it's censored in a good way considering children are dying. Take note anime makers: this is preferable to giant white or black spots taking up most of the screen. That ending scene was just....stupid. Even without my bias as a manga reader, there was such a rapid shift from escape to "rescue", complete with a seemingly random time skip, that I suffered from mood whiplash. As a manga reader: Spoiler for Basic comparisons, no plot spoilers.:

ah gawd... everyone just... POOF! DIED! T___T
even the sweet girl, Akane was slashed like a bug all the kids were munched... blood splatters... and a true bro, Mikaela got an undeserved death Yuu might be stubborn but he is not in Eren level yet I like his character and I think we need this kind of fearless-stubborn character to fight with a stronger entities I hope Yuu would find happiness later T__T instant follow for this anime |
