No.

Twilight is a fucking pile of crap with no substance. I don't really like VK (it's just average imao) but at least there is a proper storyline.

Moved to series discussion.

I've not read/seen Twilight, but I dropped VK after one episode because it was clear from just 20 minutes of it that it would be absolute rubbish with crappy protagonists and a stupid story. I was hoping for something, y'know... good. Like Hellsing or Karin.

? If by related you mean they have vampires, then yeah I guess. I'll tell you, Twilight did not create vampires. It created those sparkly monstrosities, but it didn't create vampires. Anything with vampires doesn't have something to do with Twilight.

The only connection the other novels have to Twilight is its popularity. They're pretty much feeding off it. Vampire novels started springing up everywhere because writers aren't just all about the creative process man. They want to make money and if the teenyboppers are going nuts about cheesy romanticized vampires, then that's where the money is. A fad this big will fizzle out eventually if it hasn't started to already and (hopefully) you won't see anything vampire related for a long time (I'm waiting for the Zombie Era personally).

Then you have those poor vampire novels who didn't have that initial popularity, so the Twilight fans go on insisting that Twilight came first. As far as I see it, Twilight may have boosted the whole vampire fad, but it's going to kill it just as quickly.

If it was Twilight vs. Vampire Knight, I would have to say Vampire Knight is better than that crap

And also, if you think picking which side are you on...you know...Team Edward or Team Jacob, try Kaname or Zero <- if you asked me, I would have to say both because I can't really decide '^-^

Twilight isn't so bad except about the sparkly vampire shit! Seriously, SPARKLES?! Anyways I love Vampire Knight though! It awesome and i will sometimes get pissed when people compare Vampire Knight to Twilight. They are not the same! At least in the anime, they are all tough in someway instead sparkling around and blinding people with the sparkles @_@

@animegurlfreak - Exactly :D

@ymeza21 - Same here to that :]
Seriously, I wouldn't compare Vampire Knight to Twilight! (If someone said that they are the same thing, hell no!)
If you think its hard to choose between Edward and Jacob, try deciding between
Zero or Kaname

That's easy XD I'd pick Zero!
Have you read the last few chapter of Vampire Knight lately? I don't think I like Kaname so much after that :O

Anyway, I agree Twilight and Vampire Knight should not be compared. They both have vampires(if you wanna call those sparkly things vampires :/ ), that's it...

It's weird, people snark all the time that Vampire Knight is anime's answer to Twilight, but it's actually a pretty good comparison. The three protagonists are similar (Yuuki and Bella are pathetic, Kaname and Edward are assholes, Zero and Jacob are emo but likeable in comparison to the other option...) and in both series, the supporting cast is WAY better than the main characters. They're both full of gorgeous, scowling, teenage vampires with random powers, they both have a very unhealthy relationship which is loved and coveted by millions of teenage girls...if you compare the anime to the first book, there's no real plot till the end (to be fair, a lot more happens in Vampire Knight than Twilight, but the only real plot arc is the Shizuka Hio thing...)
Both series get both too much love and too much hate (srsly, Twilight sucks, but people act as if it's the worst thing everrrr and it's not. It's more like...a 6/10.)

Also, they came out in the same year, and iirc VK came out first, and Stephenie Meyer claims she wrote Twilight in three months (explains a lot...)...coincidence? I THINK NOT. (XD; I need sleep.)

Oh, please don't downgrade Vampire Knight by even thinking there is a possibility that they are alike. I get your point, but they are basically completely different. I mean, for starters, Vampire Knight is amazing! whereas Twilight is crap. Ahah. :P

The only thing similar is the fact that there are Vampires, and if you're going to say they are similar because of that then you might as well say that every other vampire anime is. Same with the three main characters, I'm pretty sure there is a fair amount of anime out there with characters like these.

Although I would have to disagree that the characters are alike in the first place as:
1) Yuki is like, cute and i love her and Bella is annoying and i hate her, ahah.
2) Kename is hot hot hot! and Edward is not not not!
and with Zero and Jacob I guess I can see it there, as they are both sex to the eyes!

About the "better cast that aren't main characters thing."
Only the Cullen Family is good other cast in Twilight, whereas every other character in Vampire Knight is pretty amazing and has great differing personalities.

Well, that's just my opinion, ahahha. :)
