| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ok. This episode was a bit too slow in my opinion. It gave the impression that it was stretched to fit into one episode. Of course, the dramatic element was overwhelmingly present but it feels like it lacked something. A lot of revelevations and explanations on the nature of vampires are given though but since I've read the manga before, it is not imprressive to me at all.... I prefered the last one. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I was ok, but I prefer how the manga tells the story to be honest. |
| meh, i find it troublesome to read the manga of the Animes im reading. seeing as i know nothing of the manga, i found this epp to be adequate for its purpose. im sure the next one will have some good action or something. it might be helful though to enjoy the two mediums independent of eachother since mangas and anime most always never match by a satisfactory degree. |
| I like the manga better, but I still like seeing it animated. Some of the scenes were very pretty this episode. Also, I forgot just how bad I feel for Zero... T-T |
   |
| Poor Zero. I'd give him a big hug too. I do like the dynamics between the characters in this ep. It seemed to bring out some things that just action wouldn't have. |
 |
| wow.. the subs are already out ^^ |
| I honestly have freak taste because ost of the time I'll enjoy a slow paced episode, it lets you analyse and appreciate what you're watching, though I only feel that if it's for a good series, which vampire knight is. The manga is still better, but it's safe to say that this is one of the better series of the season. Can't wait for the next! |
  |
| I liked this episode; there were some dull moments, but overall it was done pretty well. The drama could have been handled a bit better, I suppose... or perhaps that's just me and my dislike of Yuuki speaking. :P Yay, more Aidou screentime~ I like him better in the manga, but I'm always happy to see him. The end with Zero and Yuuki was done well. And man, Zero looked hot in those clothes. =D I don't remember the chairman speaking with the Hunter's head so soon, though. It seems like they're going to speed things up a bit. Oh well; that doesn't really matter, I suppose. |
     |
| Hmm, a tad boring but it was alright. Though I did feel sorry for Zero, the manga was a bit better. |
     |
| hmm I wonder what Zero will do as a vampire now.... |
| a lot says that the manga is better. XD i bet it is. i better try reading it. lol XD the episode was ok for me. XD |
| I REALLY enjoyed it! :D But I also love Kaname, and this is the most screentime he's gotten so far xD I didn't think there was much difference between the manga and the anime in this ep. They hit it pretty much spot on. The blood drop with Aidou was cool. The whole scene with Aidou and Yuuki, in fact, rocked! One of my favorite scenes! My only complaint was 1) the commercial break that broke the suspense :P and 2) how was she moving backwards if her foot was stuck to the ground? I'm getting used to the designs, even though the animation is still shotty. And no, the hunter association head wasn't seen this early, but I think it was an excellent touch. Rather than her appearing out of no where later on. Aidou = great Kaname = fantastic <333 Zero = superb (the bed scene was also very well done) I think I was happiest with this ep out of them all so far :) |
| it was an ok episode, the manga is better of course but i didn't find any differences between this ep and the story on the manga, the part where idou freeze the blood on his glass, i think it was exactly the same. i see next episode covering the manga until the end of chapter 7 |

| Slow episode. Still interested in how things play out with Zero of course. Anyway, I think I might be picking up the manga... |
| I'll admit that I went into this series incredibly biased. I was thinking "oh god no, not another badly done shoujo anime, and one with vampires in it at that." but I have been proven wrong. The character development is great, and I actually liked the fact that the episodes don't always move quickly. Too many anime tend to move at a pace that indicates that maybe the director or whoever may have amped up on some mountain dew before going to work. When the story is relaxed enough moving at it's own pace then I feel more relaxed watching it. I notice and appreciate more of whats happening, and the characters don't look like they are acting in a forced or rushed way just to keep the series moving in a quick way. I also like how things aren't getting tied up in neat little bows at the end of each ep. Many shoujo anime would have had Zero stay in the Day class after an emotional scene like that. Instead, no matter what Yuki did about it, Zero still ended up in the night dorm. and last, the ending, No matter how many times I watch the ending theme, I can't help but think that this is one of the more awesome ending themes I've seen!(Strangely enough, that's what led me to give everything after episode 1 a shot.) |

| I liked this episode a lot more than the previous one. The drama was done well and I enjoyed the soundtrack. The animation is what it is and I've accepted it. Really, nothing to complain about. Good episode. |
    |
| zero mounting yuuki was hot. the end |
 |
| Yepee, no lame jokes this episode |

| this episode rocks!! Yuki hugging Zero was so kawaii too bad kaname saw them!! |
 |
| god i hate kaname so much. i just want yuki and zero to be happy together. the whole ice scene was lame imo... |
| NOoooooooOOooO..... Zero lost control at the end O_O (endless vortex of despair) |
| nice episode... there's still something missing when i compare it to manga though... drawing is looking better and more manga-ish and that makes me one happy fangirl... especially there were two scenes with zero and kaname looking through door while they're clo9sing and i remember being really impresed by the way they were drawn. |

| I'm the lone one that said "I disliked it" I was hoping for more action, like the last one. Instead, we got a soap opera... too many tears.. I think Yuuki was crying an awful lot, she got on my nerves. Something about crybabies that annoy me. |

crazy_eights said: god i hate kaname so much. i just want yuki and zero to be happy together. the whole ice scene was lame imo... You're right! So I hear a lot of people say the manga tells things diffrent (better?). Maybe I should read it :) |

| Zwomgs I really like it this far :> |
    |
| I still like it, another good episode to a very promising series. Every time I see it I get the opening and ending songs stuck in my head- they fit perfectly and are really good. |
| ugggh it was way too slow. I want to see more of the other vampires... why is Aidou so afraid of Kaname? is it like alpha male of the pack? I hope it gets better/more interesting... at least the eye candy is still very sweet. |
 |
| Still a good shoujo/vampire anime, pretty well done overall. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I loved this episode. Kaname's my favorite character, but I also felt really sorry for Zero in this episode. |
| not much going on. |
 |
| Finally it's getting interesting. |
 |
| This was a great episode and I thought Zero was hot in this eppy! |
Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| I loved this ep x3 I see people complaining about the ep going slow but I liked it better this way... Still a lot of revelations and all that, but at a "normal" pace...=) The manga's still much better, but this is my favorite ep, so far, from the anime... I hated how they rushed everything in the first episodes.. It feels better like this... You feel like what's happening is truer (I think that's the correct word)... |
    |
| I am touched at the scene where Yuki hugged Zero from the back... ^^ I also liked the visibility of Kaname Kuran, because I love him... ^^ |
| I love yuki x zero x3 anyway, I just spoiled myself *pokes veoh's comments* so I decided to read the manga... xD |
 |
| I love jealous Aidou!!! ^o^ (The subs spelled his name wrong though >_>) *sigh* Kaname isn't nearly as sexy as he is in the manga; it's sad ;___; Yuki is still cute though<3 Zero, you're so emo, as always! XD And damn you, Kain, damn you...anybody else think he has the sexiest voice of the cast? *o* Or maybe right after Mamo-chan I wonder how much they're going to veer off the path of the manga... |

| wasn't revealing about level e's later in the manga? blah its a little all over the place now. the part with yuuki entering their dorm and aidou intimidating her.. her leg was frozen and she began being able to move again o__O blah. Im trying to catch up in the manga so I know what happens originally :) |
 |
| Not a bad episode. I still like Kaname better than Zero, but I don't support Yuuki x Kaname, so the cuteness with Zero was fine with me. I'm glad to see things are moving right along; fillerish stuff in this type of anime is the worst. (I haven't been following the manga for quite some time, so I don't know what's to come.) |

| I really enjoyed this episode, especially the character interaction. Yuki hugging Zero was the highlight. She really cares about him. Kaname seeing Yuki as his most important person makes me uneasy. I hope he doesn't sink his fangs into her at some point. I'm really enjoying this series so far. |
 |
| wow there were quite a bit of yaoi hints in this episode >.> |
| Good epiosde. The manga is better, but I liked this episode enough. |

| If I haven't said so already, I really like how they insert the opening song with the animation. It reminds me of the way they would do the same thing in Ouran, with the ending theme ;) The highlight for me, was definately having Yuuki hug Zero. I feel so sorry for the guy, D: Kaname made me feel a little awkard, I have a feeling he's going to get very possesive with Yuuki, "he gunn bite her". Slow paced or not, I really like this series. <3~ |
