Vampire Knight

A good question. Maybe he escaped yet didn't learn the culprit and thus whoever is behind it deemed it safe to leave him alive; he a pure blood after all, and not idly killed according to the vampire morals. Or maybe leaving him alone alive was intentional to begin with. Either way, despite being pure blooded, he can't probably go around killing everybody suspicious, so the culprits are relative safe most likely. Though where Yuuki fits in here is anybody's guess (despite my earlier post it's pretty obvious she has some deeper role; she's the main character after all. It would also be bit of a stretch if Kaname just happened to be there when Yuuki was about to be butchered by some vampire in the middle of nowhere).

We just have to wait and see. If we are lucky the plot is intriguing enough to make it worth waiting.

It was quite disturbing how Kaname's mother looked like Yuuki a lot. And Yuuki had her memory erased.
I wonder if it's the reason for Kaname's parents death.

Also we do not get to see lots of purebloods in the show, must be hard to preserve the kind. We do not really know either how they "reproduce" in VK world. Vampire reproduction, never thought I'd talk about it one day

Hmm....I didn't realise we were discussing episode 3 already. How's Yuurisan compared to Shoku-dan?

[Kraco]

Who knows... I watched Shoku-dan last time when season 1 was running, but I replaced those eps with A-Kraze's subs so they aren't elite, I reckon. Yuurisan is good enough until you get something better, as well. Nothing to tell the gravedigger about, when you visit a cemetery, but good enough for a casual watch.

You guys are giving Kaname more credit than needed on the whole Yuuki seduction thing. I think the theory of him merely playing with her just makes him seem cooler than he really is. Yuuki is Kaname's one weakness. He really -does- want to be with Kaname forever, and in a moment of weakness (red eyes straddling etc) he thought to make her his eternally. And of course when came to his senses he said "that's enough of that"... he played it off like it was all his game in the first place. He often plays it off as he's playing with someone's mind when it might seem like he doesn't have complete control of a situation, examples including when Yuuki was demanding that Kaname acknowledge that Zero didn't kill Shio (or whatsherface) and whenever it seems that Zero might be protecting Yuuki more than he is. (Remember.. its my blood that flows through you so it's really me protecting her) of course I think this just makes him cooler. XD

As for the parent-suicide thing.. It really is a tossup.. It could be that he killed his parents for more power (which I think is unlikely) or saw his parents get murdered and is now working towards ultimate revenge by getting stronger and manipulating everyone. (Sexier older version of Sasuke?)

Convenient page burn... a bit lame actually. I guess there's an active power there.

Kaname may really have killed his parents, his question to Aidou can also be interpreted that way.

Did Shuri's father really sucked his blood to death?
Did we experience the first human death by blood draining?

All in all, even if there's always room for complaining, elements are well presented and it's quite enjoyable, although the mandatory "comic relief" scenes tend to be really useless and uncalled for... because of the darker tone of the show.

Episode 4 in .avi format by Yuurisan

[NeoBear]

thank you bro =)

[Buffalobiian]

I'm confused now. I thought Kaname's blood permanently saved Zero from becoming a Level E. He's certainly more composed with himself, and he only thirsts for blood when he sees it, making him a level D instead, right?

A=Purebloods
B=Nobles
C=Common Vampires
D=Ex-human Vampires
E=Berserk Ex-human Vampire.

[Kraco]

I think only drinking the blood of the vampire that made him one would have saved him for good. Drinking Kaname's blood (especially after Kaname drank Shizuka's blood) was the next best thing. But the next best is still nothing but a next best.

I'm actually kind of surprised Zero doesn't remind Kaname of that fact when Kaname continuously reminds Zero of the fact he "graciously" allows Zero to drink his blood. Zero would have every reason to be more pissed off at the man who basically killed his only salvation for his own machinations. But of course a shoujo show can't have so simple emotions and motivations.

[NeoBear]

...all the inner monologues in this show are starting to wear me out

Some difficulties with the h264 torrent. Not quite sure whats wrong as everything looks right, Somesite is looking into it.

Sounds like a tracker problem, so try your luck to see if they've fixed it.

Episode 7, avi only as of yet but decent quality.

I hope that now that the big thing is out, the story gets a quicker pace... because we've got more than a well furnished and detailed setting.

Good old onii-sama setting. Well, I suppose you can't have a good teen vampire story unless everybody and their uncles are vampires - whether they know it or not. I know what you mean by a quicker pace, though. Considering all the allegations and hints of massive power play within the vampire society, we haven't really seen much, in the end. All we have is the general hierarchy and then quite a few names but before this Kaname's less than civil uncle showed up, very little actually seemed to be going on (aside from Kaname killing and drinking Shizuka's blood, which was already suggested to be a part of a bigger plan and not just a random act to get rid of her).

It'll be interesting to see what Zero's role is to be in the future. I don't think he's particularly powerful compared to the better nobles with their fancy powers, not to mention purebloods, and moreover he doesn't really have any motivations or aims of his own aside from protecting Yuuki. And since this is a shoujo show, I wouldn't put it beyond it to make Kaname and Yuuki the couple of the series - siblings or not - leaving Zero even less available role slots at all.
