And so the series ends, rather wholesomely? I was a bit surprised because of the amount of violence we have gone through recently. Not complaining here, seems like everyone has a burden to bear in the story, and this battle is more of an outlet for their frustrations than anything else. I must say this though, what a brave narrative decision for a finale. It's not what you'd expect, but a very welcome one indeed.

Synopsis
After 820 years of slumber, the ancient Noblesse known as Rai wakes up and has no idea how a smartphone works. That's the kind of energy this show has. Rai is essentially vampire royalty — a "Noblesse" — with god-tier power and zero understanding of modern life. His loyal servant Frankenstein (yes, that Frankenstein, more or less) has been running a high school this whole time, so naturally Rai enrolls as a student. He makes friends, struggles with ramen etiquette, and tries to blend in despite radiating ancient nobility from every pore. But a shadowy organization called the Union is hunting him, and when they come after his classmates, the elegant, soft-spoken Rai drops the act and reminds everyone why he slept unbothered for eight centuries. This is a 13-episode TV series from Production I.G, based on a popular web manga, and it does a solid job balancing chill school comedy with genuinely cool supernatural fights. The noble hierarchy and power dynamics give it more depth than you'd expect. If you liked the aesthetic of Black Butler or the vampire politics in Vampire Knight, this scratches a similar itch but with a more modern setting. Fans of Hellsing will appreciate the power scaling and the "don't mess with the quiet one" energy. Fair warning though — watching the OVA prequel first helps, since the show drops you in assuming you know the basics.

Quick Takes
View all 40 takesWhat I really appreciate about this show is the consistency of the power hierarchy; they never seem to miss the chance to show how this character is unable to beat this one and vice versa. Anyways, this seems to be a running theme of this anime, but it's done so very well. And now the final battle is approaching, and it's time to buckle up.
This is the buildup for what seems to be an epic clash at the conclusion of this season. We are given the motivations of each participant in that decisive battle, including our main protagonist, which I think is already overdue, all things considered. The initial fight scenes already look promising; this would make a great payoff for viewers who followed the show since day one.
