The fact that this is shojo and has more males than females already proves that it won't be like Rosario to Vampire.

And Rosario+Vampire is more of a harem type but this one isn't

I would label it as more of a non-concrete love triangle...well, that's how the manga came off to me, anyway.

From the looks of the OP (you know- the part where Yuki is kissing a mysterious hand), she just might choose between Zero and Kaname in the end. Hurray for an original ending!

Studio Deen produces something decent. interesting.
read this manga awhile ago but stopped out of pure laziness

If anyone is worried about out of place comedy moments don't be, since they start to go away rather quickly.

[Slice of Life]

I'm no prophet but I think strong similarities to Rosario+Vampire, Blood+, Trinity Blood, Hellsing, Black Blood Brothers, Karin, or Master Mosquiton (how many did forget?) can already be ruled out.

Reminder to manga fans: Do not post manga related spoilers in this thread. We have a seperate Manga thread for this. Some members may have not read the manga and probably do not wish to be spoiled on future events.

What's the title(and artist) of the ED song? I really love it.

Oh; and great first EP. ^^.

Even so, i'm not a huge fan of how the humor in the anime completely destroys the dark atmosphere set in a few scenes --- the night classroom scene for example. It was never like that in the manga.

That's probably my only disappointment with the anime adaptation, though it's nothing at all major.

Still Doll by Mana. ED is creepy but that song is awesome.

Well seeing as though the manga is no way near the end, it's pretty certain that's what we'll get. Be prepared for anime original material at some point.

[myopius]

Success. To me, it had the exact same feel as the manga. I don't like that studio for animation and for pacing, but it's impossible for those things to be ruined in the case of Vampire Knight, and they put the budget in... so, cool. I knew it was a good decision to stop reading the manga and wait for the anime.

[Sheba]

I checked this show out of curiosity, therefore, my expectations were not on the high side of the scale. Not to mention that, with the exception of Hellsing OAV, I was often disappointed by the japanese's take on vampire mythos.
It has come better than I expected. I'll give it three more episodes to see if I'll keep on following it.

I have actually seen it a long time ago and always wondered who she was cosplaying. Now I know!

[dojikyo]

I liked the episode. Only wish a studio with better animation was doing it. First episode and already the use of stills (the appearance of the night class).

[hanseo]

so okay is this anime basically a human/ vampire love story that's basically obvious who she will end up?

where is the action in this anime?


also they need to stop with trying to be funny

I'm really loving the ending song

[Matrim]

Ah, good...from a GONZO bashing thread (which is just about any GONZO related thread) I jumped into the DEEN bashing thread. I feel so weird for actually liking most of what I have seen from these two studios.

Anyway, I was just about to give up when the Headmaster tried to be funny but I perservered and was pleasantly surprised. I am not into vampire story but this was quite riveting once I got past the humour attempts. Very atmospheric.

[Red Lupine]

The characters are way too serious, and then way too silly for the comedy parts

This show need to find a middle ground, I dont like how the atmosphere makes sudden 180's

Without spoiling anything, let us just say that nothing is ever obvious.

This anime is a drama, so don't expect major actions like Blade or anything like that. Also, the anime is a drama, romance, and supernatural - notice the absence of the comedy genre in the listing.

I don't quite understand about the studio bashing business. I just go with the anime; if it's good then I'll watch, if not then I won't. Simple as that. There's no need to bash the studio. True, if you don't get the anime style/performance you want for a particular anime then you will certainly be disappointed but, hey, that's how it is sometimes. Fortunate for my expectations, the VK anime has (for a first episode) met my expectation. If they stick to the manga, they'll do just fine.
