    Plot Summary: In the 21st century, a family of vampires settled down on the grounds of Japan and lived a modest life whilst sucking on the blood of humans discreetly. However, the eldest daughter of the family, Karin Maaka, has an embarassing secret which cannot be revealed to anyone. Even though she is a vampire, she does not lack blood like her family members. Instead, she overproduces blood to the extent that she transfuses the excess into her victims, hence increasing their blood levels. Despite her troubling body characteristic, she attends school like any other high school student, that is until a new transfer student, Kenta Usui, enters her life.

    I'm downloading the AFK version. After Moon Phase, I have faith in anime vampires.

    Suck was decent enough, some people said there was a missing space somewhere and possibly a missing period. I didn't notice either of those, but their font is thin yellow, like licensed dvd subs, which I'm not very fond of. The encode was good, and the translation seemed fairly solid. My standards aren't really as high as some (with notable exceptions, mostly certain groups that everyone hates). All of the dialogue made perfect sense, and maybe it wasn't dead on, but since translations are subjective anyway, its really not an issue, as long as it flows well and makes sense. Both versions have that.

    I'd recommend a.f.k. from experience with their subs in the past, which are excellent quality, but I had no really problems beyond font preference (which I can deal with).

    If you have higher standards, go with a.f.k. they have a more archivable version. If you don't really care, go with either.

    Based on this first episode, I will certainly keep watching this. Characters seen so far were strong (interesting) enough, one-sided enough, and voice actors pleasant enough. And like aznroyale said, humour was quite good indeed. Obviously this felt quite different, quite light, compared to Moon Phase, which was my sole anime vampire experience before this, but Karin has its own merits, and I'm not really inclined to compare it to anything.

    AFK sub was good. No complaints whatsoever about their work.

    The first episode was pretty good. I'll definitely continue watching. I only downloaded a.f.k.'s version but I don't have any complaints.

    Haha, this is a VERY interesting anime. The humour was really good and the characters are all interesting in their own ways. Gotta love the ending of the episode, haha, quite a "nosebleed".

    Not to mention ones that cover the entire walls and floor of the stairwell nearly completely with blood.

    First episode was enjoyable, I'll keep watching weekly... This seems like a nice way to take a load off after school work
