Another...boring episode...
No new developments as of yet...
Also I like how the vampires are drenched in sunlight yet nothing happens to them.

Not much happened in this episode, but looking at the manga the anime should hopefully get better. :)

I liked that. At first it was a little boring but then I like that events. Compared to manga, it is worse. The graphics aren't so good but finally Ichiru shown himself. I've just learned that his seiyuu is Miyano,too. I didn't expect Maria Kurenai have the same color of eyes and hair with Zero. I always expect her blonde but I like it. Her reactions remind me Misa from death note. I hope the rest episodes are better.

No matter how you look at it, it was better than the last few episodes....

At least there is a lot of plot development and we get to see more vampire powers... It is ironic that all the vampires, with the exception of the purebloods, have human blood in them...Even the nobles are not "pure". Only few families like the Kuran are indeed the most ancient form of the vampires (and the most powerful). By drinking the blood of other vampires, you can partially gain their powers. That is why everyone is interested in drinking the blood of a pureblood. A taboo...indeed....but I wonder who will break (or has broken) it....:)
bla bla bla

Shiki is the man! er I mean vampire. how cool is it that he uses his blood as weapon? if this series had more action and less mushy pointless angst it would've been awesome. anyway this ep was ok... better than the last few.. more Shiki and Ichijou onegaishimasu~

I too always visualized Maria's hair to be blonde too. And what about Ichijou's grandfather, Ichiou's flesh-colored beard? *creeped out* It was disturbing.

I actually really liked this episode, but it may have only been because Shiki finally got some screentime! I love him so much! :) Yuki never learns, every time she goes to the town a new vampire tries to attack her, she's so naive!

One of my favorites so far x33 (what's kind of strange since this ep didn't have a lot of Zero x Yuki xDD)
The first part with only the vampires was so wonderful x3 Although Yuki sounded strange when she appeared xDD I had almost forgotten that she was suposed to appear xDD
And Rima's got screentime *-* As well as Luca x3
I love that the anime is giving screentime to everyone, not like the manga ;P

Oh, and Maria was perfect x3 Although I had imagined her hair in a lighter purple... ;P

Better than the last few episodes, but it's still not that great yet. Zero's the best part of this series for me so far. It would be nice to see something besides Yuki almost getting eaten by a level E every time she leaves the school, then getting saved by Zero or Kaname.

Yeah~ Shiki <3

The rest was kinda blah.. and seriously, does Yuuki HAVE to follow Zero into a dangerous place every episode?! It's making me really annoyed.

I have hopes for the plot now tho.. there might actually be some soon.

Its not "power" they gain, it's knowledge and respect. Kaname's lived longer than any of them and has learned many things. So who wouldn't want to understand and learn the same things he has up to this point.

I'm pretty surprised theres only 1 pure blood so far. I would have expected to at least meet 1 more in these last few eps.

Yuuki's hopelessness at doing anything other than being rescued by Zero and/or Kaname in every episode is getting on my nerves. I'm half-considering dropping this if the next episode is as boring as this one.

Same.
I can't complain about it, I also enjoyed the fight. Shiki's power is interesting. Blood eh? That girl at the end looks interesting ;]
Someone else said she reminded them of Misa. She does a bit, if she is like that then I'll like her for sure.

Yup, that beard was certainly weird. And I always envisioned Maria to be a blonde too. :P

I thought it was a great episode. Although Yuuki continues to really piss me off, the plot is finally moving along nicely. I can't wait for Maria to arrive at the academy~

although i didn't imagine maria so little girlish - and i imagined her blonde too.
lol at Shurtugal spoiler! i totally agree - although now that she seems younger than i imagined that scene will look a lot different than i imagined lol.
and lol ichiru just standing there inconspicuously making all the non manga readers think "oo who's that dude?"

and shiki <3 !!
cool power too, like someone else said before SO much easier to understand the powers in the anime compared to the manga.

Actually it is also power and be assured it is.....That is why....anyway, you'll see it if the anime doesn't deviate from the manga....

Although you are right, knowledge and emotions are also shared when vampire drink vampire blood (this is similar to Anne Rice's vampires)

And by the way, Kaname has not lived much longer than the others. Being a pure-blood doesn't necessarily mean he was born millenia ago. In fact, even though his age is not shown, he shouldn't be much older than Yuuki. After all, he was seen in a younger state when Yuuki was a child.

And the second pure-blood that will appear is the mistress of the girl Maria that appeared at the end of the episode. She is the one that turned Zero into a vampire (not the actual girl, she is only a vessel possessed by Shizuka)

A decent ep. providing some good background. I'm more curious now about how vampires work in the VK universe. So far we know they're governed by a senate (sort of), there are different classes of vampires (purebloods, etc.), and vampires can age, at least to a point -- unless Ichijou's grandfather is actually young-looking under that beard. I really liked seeing more of the other vampires, too. I hope in the future they take on a bigger role.

On the down side, of course, Yuuki wandered into town and got attacked AGAIN.

Then again, that vampire was kind of amusing. "The climax!"? Yeah ... After all, if vampirism = sex, then this is pretty much a soap opera about sex addicts ^^;
