All around, a great introduction into the series. It covered a lot of ground: introduced major characters, alluded to mysterious back stories, and set up relationship conflicts between the major characters and also between the major characters and some minor characters all with pretty eye candy and chibi comic relief. The OP sequence seems standard. But the ED sequence and song creeps me out. It manages to be simple and yet chill-inducing, all the more so because it is a simple sequence. Thumbs up for a satisfying first episode.

Wow....Studio Deen has REALLY outdone themselves this time!
Zeroooo. <3 Zero's expressions are really great. Yuuki is so cute too! .......*pushes Kaname away from Yuuki* Though I admit, he's much better-looking than the manga Kaname. But NO! I refuse to become a Kaname fangirl! Oh about his name....normally, I'd argue that is HAS to be Kuran since it is in kanji and not katakana, yet Matsuri (the manga-ka) is odd about their names. Zero's name kanji is 零, yet it's still pronounced ゼロ. So who the heck knows but Matsuri. The ending....is creeeepy.

First sub already released by Shoku-dan.
Drama, supernatural, romance ANN also has it under comedy but I don't quite agree with that, despite the first episode comedy inserts.

ANN lists it as "drama, romance, supernatural"......
The manga is published by Hakusensha ... most of their titles seem to be shounen or something close by (includes Ai Yori Aoshi for example). I'm always curious why the japanese label genre matters since has more to do with who published it than the actual content matter.

Seen as they haven't listed "comedy" as a genre, maybe people will get their wishes for this to be more a more serious theme. (Or that they missed it off).
And I actually just bumped into a kipi cosplay of yuki Spoiler:

ED, yeah. Although it is creepy, it is really good and fits perfectly as an ending to this series. Also, Zero's character seems to come across even better in the anime (at least for the first episode), in my opinion.
