For starters I felt that it was horribly written, not as bas as Zaizen Jotaro but still pretty stop. The over use of voice overs is just killing it. We know what happened in the character's past, you already showed us, stop telling us. We know how characters feel about other characters, we can see it in how they act, stop telling us like we're 6 and can't figure it out.

Second, the jokes are just horrible. They break the pace of the drama that they're trying to build up, even though they primarily do it by those horrendous voice overs, and they're not funny. Anythnig that they have build up is automatically shattered by the placement of an extremly out of place bad joke.

And finally, as I am a dude I'm not in it for the pretty guys which seems to be a huge draw for its female fanbase.

I was just ok, the soundtrack makes up for a bit of the bad writing but it's still just kinda average. I'm slightly interested in some of the background character but I don't think I can stand another ep which is full needless monologuing.

I loved the first half, but then it went a bit downhill then. I agree with almost everyone here - The voices, art and OP/END were great. The animation, not so much. Yuuki seems like the typical shoujo protagonist, sadly... :/

I hope this doesn't dissapoint, I'm looking forward to more :)

Oh, and I loved Kaname!

First time I started laughing in the very first few seconds of an anime.

I thought the over-the-top chairman was too much and seemed really out of place. I'm tired of the flashbacks, but other than that, it seems alright so far.

Zero and Lawrence (Spice and Wolf) must be brothers. They're alike.
Pic of this anime is handsome. But in general anime is boring. But I'll keep it watching.

Bleck.. I remember I used to like the first season of this anime, but since I've read the manga and I already know what will happen in guilty, didn't have the guts or motivation to watch it anymore.

A good start to the anime and you already know a bit about the characters from the beginning. If Zero is a vampie whys he in the Day Class??

On the contrary, I actually love their eyes...they're beautifully drawn and some eyes look empty, like doll eyes...their pupils are a pit of darkness while some eyes are filled with life and color. Idk if it has anything to do with it, but I find the art beautiful...


I absolutely HATE Vampire Knight and I'm re-watching this just because I wanted to remember why I hated it. The characters annoy me quite a lot (for further reasons, don't want to spoil..) but I will say this. The vampires may all be bishies and what not, but at least they don't sparkle. :D

(I know they do in the manga since it's shoujo and whatnot...tons of roses and sparkles and random things placed all over the panels D8)

I think it's not fair to compare it to Twilight, though the target demo is probably the same.

The quality isn't bad, well at least not the art anyway, although writing can be inconsistent here. There's some campy moments, but at least they're humour tossed in to spice the slow start, which also can seem very unappealing.

It's a shame characters were not fleshed out more, because there was a lot of potential with some of them. Maybe the attempt to strike a balance between romance, character development and story arc was just too much for the series, so pace and quality were at stake and suffered.

I just watched the first episode, having seen the series come across my Netflix. The beginning was a little interesting, but the majority was strictly okay. I haven't seen many animes that take place at a school which I outright liked, but maybe this anime will be the exception?
The episode almost felt like it was trying too hard, if that makes sense.

The responsibility of minimizing interaction between vampires and humans is too much for two students who have to do it everyday while going to class.

Ain't there vampire specialists, or priests out there in this anime that could do this job instead. Or is the school just hiding vampires from the rest of the world, in hopes of creating a future peace between humans and vampire?

Well, not bad, I'll probably finish it, but I have a feeling I'm going to hate Yuki. Her first "fight" scene and she's useless already. I get it, they wanted Zero to save her so they'd be closer, but couldn't they have done it differently? I'm sick of faux action girls.

Yuki isn't so bad, not the most original main heroine but she seems nice enough, and that opening was pretty catchy.

Wow, that was a really great first episode!

A lot of hot vampire boys and Zero, who also appears to be one! I'm curious as to how he goes out in the sun and why he's in the day class.

Him biting his lip and drawing blood and being topless was hot though <3

Been meaning to watch this for years LOL!

I quite like the OP and ED!

really good first episode.
Love Vampires, love romance ... sometimes i even love drama.
This looks like fun.

The blond guy at the beginning (not good with names) reminded me sort ofish of Tamaki from Host Club xD

Ah, the Twilight of anime. It's been 13 years since I watched this. I thought it would be a total cringe fest, but I'm actually enjoying it more than I thought. Yuuki is really fun and it took all but one second to remember that Zero is undoubtedly best boy.
