The January issue (on sale November 24) of Hakusensha's LaLa shōjo magazine has announced that Matsuri Hino's Vampire Knight manga will be animated for television in Japan. The horror manga takes place in Cross Academy, where the student body is divided into the "regular" Day Class and the "elite" Night Class. Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster, is one of the few people in the entire school who knows that the Night Class students are vampires. Yuki herself was attacked by a vampire — and saved by another — as a child. As such, she joins the Guardians, a student group that struggles to maintain the delicate balance between the two classes. Zero, Yuki's childhood friend and one of the Day Class Guardians, happens to be a latent vampire who keeps sane by drinking blood voluntarily offered by Yuki. Meanwhile, the student president of the Night Class is Kaname — the same vampire who saved Yuki as a child. Viz Media started publishing the original manga in English in January. Four drama CDs have already been offered to LaLa and LaLa DX magazine readers in Japan, but no announcement has been made on the cast or staff of the animated version. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-11-23/vampire-knight-shojo-manga-to-be-animated-for-tv Yes! Yes! Now I can watch the emo fest in full animation. Really looking forward to this. This had better not be crap. Now where is Shinshi Doumei Cross' announcement for an anime adaptation I wonder? If I had that, next year will be complete (wouldn't be bad if Hanakimi or W-Juliet got an announcement also). But having Vampire Knight and Special A animated for next year has already made me a happy camper. |

| YAAAAYYY zero in motion can't wait for this one |
| whoa. im excited; ive been wanting this. ;D |
 |
| Huzza! lol, thanks for making this a "public post" Crystal. Now everyone can go crazy over it. ^.^ This makes me happy since we only get the manga chapters like every two months. |
     |
| Awesome~ I can't wait to see Zero and Yuuki in motion. Now for Shinshi Doumei Cross and MeruPuri... |
     |
| i can't wait. i hope it relates to the manga! |
 |
| Zeeeerrrrro~~~~ <3 |
| I've been waiting for an anime of this too especially since a friend of mine has been pushing me to read the manga for ages now (just didn't want to buy it). |
     |
| i made a club for the mangas that we want as an anime and the mangas that are future anime that we can't wait a week for it. http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=1472 |
|
| YAY! I wanted an anime made for Vampire Knight ever since I read the first chapter. |
 |
| Yay I'm really happy about this. I've read the first 3 volumes of the manga and have been hoping it would become an anime. Really happy that it now has. ^^ Hopefully it airs in the spring. Now all we need is Shinshi Doumei Cross to become an anime. More shoujo anime is always a plus. :) |
| |
| I'm really happy ^^ I love every manga Hino Matsuri has made and I can't wait to see Vampire Knight animated ^^ Zero and Kaname and Yuuki ^^ Kyaa~ |

 Sometimes, we just don't realise how much someone means to us until they're G O N E . . |
| the vampire knight anime website listed the airing date as april. win. ^_^ |
  |
| I'm really really excited when it comes out! <3 This link from ashura looks like it shows the character designs for the actual anime right? *_* And also I'm really curious about the supporting cast and by the looks of it, they're keeping the drama cd casts. On the cast, I think it says [in order]: Kurosu Yuuki: Horie Yui Kiriyuu Zero: Miyano Mamoru Kuran Kaname: Kishio Daisuke Ichijo Takuma: Chiba Susumu Aidou Hanabusa: Fukuyama Jun Kain Akatsuki: Suwabe Junichi Shiki Senri: Hoshi Souichiro which matches the drama CD. I'm really happy bout that because I liked the Drama CD cast! Now, I'm not so good with Japanese so not so sure if that's right. T_T What I wanna know is if the supporting cast is actually official. =X Anyone know? |

Gela-Chan said: YAAAAYYY zero in motion can't wait for this one haha... i totally can't wait either! XD |
| Here's a question...how did 30 people rate this anime when it hasn't even aired yet? The anime may be vastly different from the manga, and it wouldn't be the first time the anime has sucked in comparison to a very good manga. Anyway, I love the manga and am excited about the anime. One thing I'm glad for is the animation from Studio DEEN, they've kept it pretty faithful to the manga art, unlike Special A where the animation looks pretty bad and Kei's hair color is completely wrong, he's meant to be blonde and now he's got brown hair? |
 |
| O__O I just thought I'm not seeing right~ Really the anime???? OMFG *__________* omg... cant wait til its starting >.< wanna waaaaaaatch << |
   |
| I cant wait either! I'm done reading vol 8 so i'm waiting unpaitiently for the next. Im just wondering if they are going to make it a 26 episode series, it will be difficult to shorten it with so many characters and the plot on the anime is so fargoing that they will definetly be making changes, but thats what happens when you create it visually. It's going to be great to see badass Zero come to live in the anime :D |
 The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven. |
