| another new OP.. i like it... i'm sorta disappointed with the ball though.. oh well its not over yet |
| MY SIGNATURE |
| the action scenes are really lacking... and the animation seems to be getting worse. :( |
| I haven't even watched the whole episode but I feel like ranting. The animation has got worse if that's even possible. I also thought the 'dramatic' scene was anything but dramatic. Edit: This show has so much potential, this could have been an amazing episode. With the dance and everything but the animation is bogging the story down so much. Grrr. |

| Ichiru shouldn't get pissed at his brother just because he was weak. and *shrugs* low budget? |
 |
| this last arc just seems a bit off or kinda flat. I can't seem to care about Ichiru. Zero is so willing to bite Yuki now to. |
 |
| The animation seems to have gotten.....weird looking. I hate it when good anime shows start off so good then just gradually drop :(. Kind of a bland episode too. I hope it picks up again. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode, but I'm annoyed by the fact that the quality of the animation, has dropped drastically =/ |
| Blarg, I liked the other OP better, that one with my vampire loli in it ;<. Oh well. This episode made my dislike towards Yuki increase - can't Zero just die already :L I want some hawt Kaname scenes! |
    |
| Bad animation. Any chances of ZeroxYuuki are 0, If Kaname is alive kill him Yuuki! Why do I smell a consiracy!? :p |
| "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise" |
| retarded animation + bad screenwriting + bad direction = third rate anime..... it's amazing how they ruined one of my favourite shoujo manga.... |
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? |
| Ugh for bad animation. -_-' The episode was quite good though... only if the animation was better... rawr. "Here, you can bite anywhere you want, just dont bite everywhere." ^cracked me up. XDD |
     |
| I really liked the knew opening, it was rather interesting to see ichiru vs zero action I think it was a cool idea to re-do the opening as the story advances, that way we wont get spoilers :P Another thing that I enjoyed was the Yuuki - Kaname thing, it was so cute! I really like Kaname, he is the typical Dracula like vampire xD As for the ball I was terribly dissapointed! I mean we didn't get to see much, and Yuuki's dress was not that pretty :S Almost forgot! DAMN THOSE ANIMATORS!! |
| Well apparently I'm not the only one who thinks the animation's quality is going down so yeah that sucks. The episode itself was ok... the biggest issue is that nothing really happened. Other then the first few minutes where Ichijou explained what was with him and learning what Maria/Shizuka said to Yuki the whole episode was rather pointless. |
| meh...boring boring boring. maybe something cool will happen next epp. |
| The animation quality wasn't very good to begin with, and its getting worse. That wouldnt be as much of an issue if the story was progressing well, but its getting boring. I had high hopes for this anime, oh well. |
| huh...I guess I'm alone in liking this ep? Honestly I don't have a problem with the animation. I mean, sometimes it gets a little janky, but overall I don't feel it detracts from the show. The story may seem a bit flat to me at times, but I just assumed that was because I've already read the manga and know what's coming. Oh well, I still enjoy this show! I like that Zero has more scenes again in the OP though. I was sad when they changed it at first. |
   |
| I love listening to Ichiru talk to Zero. Like, fdkldfkdflkl yay. <3 Other than that, dull episode, lackluster animation. |
     |
| Hm.....I don't agree with most of you..I loved this episode and the animation was not really that bad to me i didnt even really notice since i was more interested in the storyline...I don't care what anyone says i thought it was good and i till love this anime!! I can't wait till the next episode!! ^^ LOL |
| Pretty boring besides the story behind Zero's emo twin brother |
| Lame episode is lame. Everything felt over-dramatized; I couldn't help but laugh when Zero went into a fit while fighting with Ichiru. The dance wasn't as good as I was hoping, but it wasn't terrible. Although the dancing itself was horrendous. XD I found Ichijou's "Nani nani, Kaname?" oddly cute. :3 |

I mean, sometimes it gets a little janky, but overall I don't feel it detracts from the show. You're not alone. I agree with you. The animation doesn't bother me at all. But I'm sure it's mostly because I'm reading subtitles and completely intrigued by the story to care. I haven't read the manga yet so I have no idea what's going to happen next. I'm not one to try to figure it out as the show continues. I like to loose myself in the show and let it guide me. Then I'll reflect back on it after it's over. ^_~ I LOVED Kaname hugging Yuuki! So sweet! ^_^ |
 |
| Finally some more Kaname... this series was losing its pace with only focusing on the rather boring Zero. |
duotrouble said: I LOVED Kaname hugging Yuuki! So sweet! ^_^ Indeed! At first I was totally Yuuki/Zero. Now I'm Yuuki/Kaname... >.< This episode was better then the last few. I feel sorry for Yuuki...=( |
 ~ Nola... |
| The animation was horrible at times. No, rly. It seems they have a low budget(a very low one) or... the staff is like: "Let's just quickly finish this crap and go drinkling! Kanpai!" xD The "action" scenes really lack the action itself. Jeez... I was expecting much more from this series. I haven't read the manga so I have nothing to compare the anime to, but it still sucks balls for me. And I don't like Kaname... >.> BUT I don't like how they make Zero look, either. Grrrr... |
I'll be nicer if you give me chocolate and bishies ^^ |
| i don't find this episode bad, pretty good adaption of the manga. i was looking forward to see kaname in the ball too. well as for the lack of action scenes...personally, i don't think there are a lot of action scenes in the manga anyway so i am ok with the bit of action between twins and the master in this episode. |
 |
Suu said: I love listening to Ichiru talk to Zero. Like, fdkldfkdflkl yay. <3 hehe yeah Mamoru talking to himself XP yeah animation was a bit of a disappointment like everyone's been saying. but after reading the manga i just like to watch this to see it come to life =] its funny watching this after reading the manga, i have totally different feelings for things that happen than when i first read it cause of everything that's happened in the manga...these things distract me from the animation quality - lol at yuki and zero's heads in some parts..other than that its ok most the time =] still love it though =] aww and Shiki <3 .the dancing was funny =P |
 |
| Ah ah i was looking forward to the ball but the animation... it just sucks |
 |
| Yep the animation is definitely getting worse and worse (which is a great feat already as it was particularly bad even from the beginning...). Apart from that, there are some good plot ideas but the whole thing is just terribly inconsistent and not well directed at all. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Decent episode, really bad animation. |
| Although the animation was worse than usual (where's the shading on the faces?), I liked the development in the story. The acting in the scene between Ichiru and Zero was really impressive as well. I'm not being biased here, despite being a Mamoru Miyano fan. The fact that he was able to make the two characters distinguishable was a great feat, so bravo to him! Oh, and I like the new OP sequence, too. |
 |
| I didn't really notice a big difference animation wise, so I'm not to sure what everyone is up in arms about. I thought this episode was pretty decent. It really makes it a mastery for the people that haven't read the manga and have no idea whats going on, like me. So I found this pretty enjoyable overall even though there was no action packed fighting. |

| ok, having a constant bad animation is one thing.. but having a constantly changing bad animation is another thing.. i noticed that kaname's face keep changing.. sometimes he looks mature, sometimes he looks younger... then times his face looks chunky, sometimes it looks long and skinny.. however, as to compare to other episode.. this one is not really as bad... i was enjoying admiring kaname when he told yuuki that she was making a strange face.. and that he was just kidding... he kept that serious face.. so cute... and moreover, i also enjoyed that part when he got annoyed and cracked the door... i wanna see more of his power.. "i have the feeling that i want to be tied up to keep things from happening again".... awww i wanna see kaname lose his cool.. he's very good at restraining himself.. i wanna see the full extent of his power.. chairman never fail.. he always makes me chuckle.. during the beginning of the ball.. when he called kiryu-kun's name.. and when zero turned, and poked him on the face... little thing but show so much personality of the chairman and oh, when the president called ruka's name "R-Ruka-chan"... i thought there was a puppy barking during the "R".. i dont know.. lol..maybe its just me... |

| This anime started out good, but now, it's like watching vampire hentai with Zero and Yuki. Ewww. Honestly, I'm starting to hate the show because of all the vampire lust, but I'm gonna give VK another chance and hope that'll the plot will turn for the better. |

He had been injured so his blood lust was a lot more intense. Yea it was kinda fan servicey i guess but it wasn't anything beyond necessary. and it being a <b>vamipre shoujo </b> blood sucking couple with sexy vamps was bound to occur in a some what seductive manner.. |

Haha. Don't take me too literally. Exaggerating was the point. :p And it's a bit going beyond the necessary because its like that (or there are hints) every time they see each other. The episode was also overly dramatic. Actually, it's only the "sexy vamps" that makes me want to keep watching. On another note, only BBC works in posts. |

But i guess i'm a lil bias cuz i like YukixZero heh lol didn't even realize i'd used HTML the BBC thing must've slipped my mind for a sec. |
|
| the animation is getting worse. XD oh! and another slight change in the OP. XD |

| Along with everyone else, this episode did lack the animation I came to love in certain episodes. I expected the whole, ball to be beautiful but I came to say "wahh". The whole sucking blood/sex thing is just amusing to me, :D ahaha. & I figured killing Kaname, is what Yuuki was told to do. Though, I prefer Zero over Kaname any day, I wouldn't want to see him die. He's a nice character, I wove'z him. I just don't like him getting in the way of Zero and Yuuki love, c: though since Yuuki had to think over her two options, it leads me to believe that Zero has a very high chance of being "the one". Hopefully that is, the case. Anyway, the main question is still what Shizuka’s goal for doing all this is, and I’m also curious to see why her body needed to be frozen like that. |
