Vampire Knight (Generic Discussion thread)

Not all of Ali projects songs sound the same it is the same kind of song but doesn't sound the same... Ali-project would sort of fit this not really I think the OP is really awesome sounding takes some time to get used to. I really like it now.

I'm actually rather amazed with how well the animation is looking, just from that 30 second trailer. Damn sexy, the way it should be looking.

& yes, Yui Horie is sounding like the perfect choice for Yuki. Just what i like to hear.

The Japanese Wiki seems to mention this person as the composer.

Sadly, I've only seen Miyori no Mori out of all his works... and I can't say I remember how good the music was in these ~90 minutes, so I can hardly know what to expect.

[cindialai]

is it just me or does yuki look thin as hell in the trailer

[ellifeedn]

Did the first episode air yet?

[Westlo]

No, it airs in just under 8 hours.

[deffusse]

I haven't read manga yet [only 1st chapter... some time ago] but this anime's first ep. was good, MORE than GOOD

[Kaoru Chujo]

It's out and it's good. Horie Yui, Miyano Mamoru, Kishio Daisuke. Mmmm. I love what Nishida Asako has done to make this kind of character design work. Good background and set-up.

Actually gonna try to post a coherent review of epi one and not just sound like an idiot fangirl

Spoiler:

FukuJun using his Watanuki voice surprised me but I really liked it for Aido. Since I didnt watched La Corda I wasnt sure about Kaname's voice but it fits, its nice and smooth (and omg is he HOT! ~ahem~) Yep Zero (ok watching 2 shows with a character named Zero in it ) sounds like Raito, figured but not complaining! I actually like that voice over his Tamaki one. I havent read the first few chaps of VK in a while but I was surprised at the shoujo comedic aspect of it, I dont remember that but again its been a while. Neuro/Luck Gandor's seiyuu as the Headmaster was perfect, I love how he sounds. All in all good epi. I will say I REALLY liked the background music even though Im still on the fence about the OP.

[musume_no_hoshi]

Seen episode 1...again its NOT HD ...*hides in her special made hole

Spoiler for Episode 1:

Zero's voice is ...PERFECT, I like this voice over Tamaki's or Raito's voice for some reason. I didn't like Kadame's voice, sounded a little too soft. Yui Horie is as great as expected <3

Animation...was okay. Some shots are drawn really nice, looks exectly like the manga. Some shots looked...not so good. My favourite scene is the part were Yuki pulls her....weapon out. Thats the only thing I liked.

Not too fond of the opening, the ending gave a good dark feel. The background music was nice, suitable for the anime. Alot of classical like music ;P

Episode 01 screencaps and summary

Spoiler:

I'm impressed. I didn't expect the series to be a combination of genuine tension and comedic scenes. The character design are surprisingly attractive despite what the trailer implies. What impresses me the most, however, is the OP theme, which suits the series really well.

[kari-no-sugata]

I've been watching the first eps of pretty much all the new series, but haven't been doing much background reading on them - I came into this series knowing pretty much nothing.

My impressions? Well, I enjoyed the first ep a lot - will definitely watch the 2nd. Hmm, Yuki's very cute.

Still, I kinda wonder about the long-term potential of the series - I may be wrong, but I feel like I can see through most of the characters.

[littlekitty]

Spoiler for Epi 1:

-This was a lighthearted first episode but it should get much darker very soon
-LOVE the character designs- just as good as the manga.
-Whose hand could Yuki be kissing in the OP? Mystery!
-Already see the conflict between Kaname and Zero
-Overall, amazing and I can't wait for more!

[Skyfall]

Spoiler for episode 1:

Hm ... the first episode left a much better impression than i expected it to. My only real complaint would be the comedy antics, which feel stupidly out of place. There is nothing that annoys me like uncalled for comedy during "dark" themed shows. I can only hope it will go away once things get more serious (and from the looks of it they will), instead of being a constant thorn in my enjoyment.

The animation is generally pretty decent, although there were some questionable shots a few times. The Seiyuu are doing a good job with the main characters i think; definitely underlines their personalities. The Music was rather forgettable though ...i already can't remember any BGM or anything

The story seems to be promising and potentially quite dark - count me in for the ride. If we ignore the rampant comedy act, this is one of the more enjoyable shows this season for me.

My inner fangirl praises you

ep 1

Spoiler:

Whaaaa, so many pretty guys

I really liked the ep actually. It was a nice start with a somewhat different premise. It's not everyday you see vampire and humans so close to each other, this is bound to cause problems as already seen when some vampires are failing to hold their urges. Seems like there is some great conspiracy plotting somewhere deep in the vampire lair.

I really like the style, mood and designs of the series. The random comedy/chibi scenes remind me so much of zombie loan, I just can't hate it ^^

Things are just starting off and I'm sure there are a few more surprises to come. Besides the already hint that zero (lol now why is there another zero XD) is a vampire whatever the breed. This must have something to do with his hate.

[Vexx]

Hmmm, this wasn't on my list to watch... but the screencaps intrigue me. sigh... another series I'll have to take a look at.

[darkchibi07]

It's official! This spring season really is a season of bishounen!

[Vexx]

ummm, if you're asking about the fansub, it doesn't exist yet. I'm not sure which fansubs have agreed to do it yet.

Asking for locations of untranslated raw episodes is expressly forbidden by the forum rules (which you might ought to read if you haven't). Hopefully you weren't asking for that.
