Owari no Seraph First Impression

I first started watching this series because of the gifs I saw on tumblr. It looked interesting so I decided to look into it. 
When I first read a summary of the show,I was a bit put off. The summary said there was a virus that killed everyone 13+ and vampires took over. However, the show is really about vampires taking over by releasing a virus that kills 13+ years old. The summary failed to make the connection.
I started watching it and I became intrigued, but not intrigued enough to stick with it.
The only problem I had with it were the side characters. I don't hate them. I just knew that they would be something that would be used to hurt the protagonist. I have seen many shows that do that and I'm honestly tired of it. 
I liked Yu's stereotypical action anime protagonist personality and I also liked his relationship with his brother, Mika.
I also became a bit curious of the relationship between Mika and that vampire lord (whose name I cannot remember). It seemed to me that there was more going on between them than blood sucking. 

-SPOILERS OF THE END OF EP 1-

Towards the end I was not surprised that the younger children died. But I was really surprised that the girl (Akane?) died. It seemed to me that she would survive, become the love interest and create a love triangle between her, Yu, and Mika. 
I was also surprised by Mika's death because he seemed like the character who would stick by the protagonist forever. 
-END OF SPOILER-

In the end this show really surprised me. It was actually very good!
I'm definitely going to continue watching this!!

This show is currently airing and as of today has 2/12 episodes out and a second season confirmed.
