But if I'm truly honest with myself, I've never given up on the series. That's why I've been watching this wiki grow from the shadows. I've seen so many great things crash and burn and that's the biggest reason why I think the way that I do. I just don't know if I can follow the story for much longer without the reassurance that everything will come together. It’s an interesting parallel with the characters, Yu and Mika for example. The journey has not been smooth, horrible things have occurred to them, they both have crashed and burned. And gotten back up. They never waited for an end or ‘right time’, there never was a right time, neither somewhere perfect where they could be. Yet they are still enjoying their time together regardless, and exactly like you, have never given up. Certainly no guarantees everything will come together, in fact it’s perfectly plausible for any number of hostile vampires, demons, or seraphs (or anything really XD ) to end the entire story with them winning, and yet the story so far is a keeper.

With plot points coming together in particular, there have been especially remarkable scenarios, such as Guren carrying out his long forged plans with not just Mahiru, but Noya as well. Then there was Shikama Doji possessing Shinoa and fighting Saito, who is attacking him with chains and beasts of the apocalypse, whilst absorbing powers from an entire army that has emerged from the shadows! Some of the most incredible moments ever have been delivered, all the while characters have endured (which we must never take for granted, the favourites could easily have had their final scenes on more than one occasion!)

Still, whether noting the advancements in the story, and in characters, or simply loving the series simply because, is but one perspective.
