I liked it, minus the Ichiru/Zero bed scene, but I thought it was good. (I don't read the manga)

I don't really sense any great yaoi-hints in here... I mean, not that I'd mind, but I think since they are not only brothers, but twins, it's only natural for them to be really close, even more because Ichiru seemed to be in need of Zero so much ;-; It was really cute, I wanted to hug them both for being such lovely siblings.


I'm with you there. I didn't get a sense of yaoi between the two brothers. Ichiru was sick and always goes to his "big" brother for help. It's a common theme in anime. The twins in Ouran and in Fushigi Yuugi are good examples of that as well as countless others. It's a Japanese thing that twins are much closer than "regular" siblings. Nothing yaoi about it.

I loved the episode! I think I squeeled when Zero was holding Yuki's hand. :)

Fairly good episode. It was great seeing lil' Zero and Ichiru. <3 Yuuki was annoying as usual, but Maria far made up for it.

The episode was interesting, I knew who Maria was since we just saw her in that armchair, and nope, I haven't read the manga.
I want to know more about Ichirou, not because he treated Zero in a kinda yaoi way xD (and you have to stop being so perverted about it) I want to know why he seemed to love Zero, and then when Zero was lying on the floor almost unconscious, Ichirou was smiling o__o wtf, and he went away with Shizuka and left Zero there... WHY?!
I wasn't surprised about the brotherly love, it's really common to see in anime these days xD and it's kinda cute you know.
Anyways, I LOVE the new little yuri scene from the opening :)

Shouta!Ichiru was really annoying to me -- I'm guess I'm the only one here who dislikes the clingy, "I love you so much!!" brocon siblings. Hopefully he's grown out of that ... (as the evil smile seems to suggest?)

Twincest baby, twincest.
I dissagree on the above post, I think Ichiru did love Zero. Oh well, I'm wondering if Ichiru ever became a vampire under her. The yaoi moments didnt really bother me, it supirsed me but I didn't skip through it or anything. As for Yuuki, Maria/Shizuka proposing a deal was one of those moments that made me just scream at the screen because it’s so obviously a trap! Don't do it !

Maria is very pretty, and I don't think she may be as bad as I believe. She was crying, so obviously Zero's parents hunted someone she cared about, I'm guessing D:

Uh, I'll skip the boy-boy bed scenes next time..


wash your eyes with some Yuki x Maria screenshots:






Yuri did come to mind after that little insert scene was added to the OP animation... Anyhow, this is a shojo, so there's different emphasis on some themes... And I think chryseis is right about the whole yaoi thing, I seen some jap anime in which male twins (wakka9ca's "twincest" craze's quite popular in their culture) do share some deep kind of bond (I did watched alot of shojo anime back on the day ^^).

Good episode. Absolutly loved the Yuki/Zero moments :) But I wonder what exactly Zero meant when he said that Shizuka "toyed" with him and his brother. I don't understand why people think there is a tiwncest relationship with Zero and Ichiru. I think you guys are overthinking the situation. They're just really close and nothing more.

I always loved the Shizuka arc in the manga. I'm very pleased with it animated. :)
Also, I always thought that Ichiru was the better looking of the twins... He's so frail and tiny! I love his seiyuu too! Besides, that little bed scene was precious...

Yeah it was super obvious the masked guy was his hot twin brother.

I did not expect twincest in the flashbacks, but that was a very welcome surprise ;) It was indeed very hot indeed! they are both so freaking hot <3

Awww, Zero got to tutor Yuki, that was so cute! :3 <3

Maria really is Shizuka, she's just somehow in another body, this show really changes vampires a lot, it's so weird.

Zero can never kill her either because she's his master! D: oh no, that means the poor boy will never manage to get that revenge he so desperately craves!

I can't believe Kaname erased Yuki's memory about seeing it all happen.

It also seems Kagame set everything up like his own delightful game of chess to see how it unfolds right before his eyes. He's maybe a little more twisted even than I had thought before and I thought he kinda was before for as nice as he tries to seem to all the normal day students, putting on airs and graces.

Maria actually unlocked Yuki's memories of the past night as well and actually said there is a cure to save Zero from becoming a level E vampire and will actually help Yuki by telling her it, wow, that is really really unexpected to say the least.

But is that just because she wants the pair of brothers for something?

Also why did she want their blood in the flashbacks? like the twins of the hunters blood was special somehow, or she just wanted curse them for taking away someone from her, I'm not sure which or if it was both.

Zero must be a powerful hunter, more powerful than his parents by the seems of this since he could sense Shizuka that terrible night before either of them and his brother did.

Ichiru looked oddly happy standing next to Shizuka during the attack, was it that she promised him eternal life as a vampire so that he would no longer have to be frail? and he could become better than his brother? I wonder.

Ichiru is a bit creepy, being in Zero's room when he woke up lol. Although it seems when they were kids he always sneaked in to his room so nothing has changed really. Yeah, the mask seems unnecessary really like Zero said and when he took it off, they looked so hot together ;)

I wonder what he went to see him about and what will happen next D:
