Art quality is going down, not that it was top notch in the begining, but I think most of you will agree that lots of proportions and drawings are awful in that ep...

After the latest ep I finally have to confess even I'm not blind enough to fail to notice it anymore. The drawings were really off sometimes during this episode, almost making me ask: "Who the heck is that supposed to be?"

One factor making me pay extra attention to the art might have been the relative boringness of this episode compared to the previous ones. The drama and self-reflection was getting kind of thick at times. Really thick.

my main concern is that after 7 episodes there hasnt been very much progress, perhaps im just wondering wear the story is going to go i mean i don't expect a lot of traveling around and the town seems to be fairly small so shouldnt they get it going.

also i know this is anime and i should be used to it buy now but i cant stand the constant

Yuki..........................................

you know that thing wear they will say someones name look at the ground or up in there air and then

What should i do......................................

god lol

All the reflecting is getting a bit old now, though I didn't notice the animation drop this time as I did from Ep 5 to 6. What we did find out this episode is that Yuuki has slowly distanced herself from Kaname, whether it's because of Zero, other school girls, general growing up, or all of the above is up to interpretation.

Kaname is also aware that he's the one holding everything together, and at his word, he could have Zero ripped apart. Having this sort of power awareness can't make him a 100% good guy in my eyes.

Thing that made me smile this episode was seeing more of Ruka. They need to cater for other audiences besides the mass shoujo fanclub after all, even if it's seeing her get sucked. Also brings out the fact that Kaname has his own issues keeping his fangs at bay.

It would be very strange is she hadn't. She's not a kid anymore. It would be very strange if she still clung to Kaname like she used to. Who knows how old Kaname was back then when he saved her, being a vampire and thus immortal (I guess they are also in this series), so from his point of view things may not have changed in such a radical way, but from her point of view they surely must have. When she was a kid, Kaname was just Kaname-sama, her savior, but now he's not only Kaname but a guy as well.

For some reason, Yuuki's familly has some ties with cross changing from vampire to human.
Kaname had blood on his mooth when he saved yuuki (at least I remember that) so I wonder wether he or some guys he was with at the time is responsible for the death of yuuki's familly. Remember that cross told he was with "bad vampires"

If yuuki is from some special familly, for some reason she could be very useful to Kaname, like enabling him to become human... I wonder if it's possible. I think we do know Cross was a vampire, we do not know if he was pure blood or a human that became a vampire.

The female voice Yuuki kept earing, I wonder if it was a female from her familly she doesn't remember (like her mother), or the pure blood that bite zero to make him a vampire. Yuuki clearly remarked that a lot of data can pass through blood with vampires. Maybe that pure blood can convey thoughts or some kind of tie through the ones bitten by the vampires she created. Or maybe it's her specific power to be able to create those links.

Bar yuuki (for the moment), no one is pure good or pure evil. Interresting.

Kaname is one of the pure bloods. I very much doubt he would have any interest whatsoever in becoming a human even if he somehow could. And Cross was a vampire hunter, if memory serves (which it might not), but I'm sure he was not a vampire.

What is interesting about Cross's conversation with Kaname is that even back then, he said Kaname was the only child of a family he is in debt to. Now I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but is that referring to him being an only child (ie, no siblings), or being the only child (rest of family is dead type)? If it was the former, it would seem strange that Kaname would be hindered by "bad" vampires, since purebloods seem to command a lot of respect, and I doubt it would diminish that much just because he was young. Only other thing I could think of is that they were also purebloods.

If Cross was only referring to Kaname's immediate family, then it's entirely possible that those giving him a hard time were his uncles and such, or that he wasn't in fact the last surviving member, and it was his very parents/siblings who were malicious. (though I can only wonder at how Cross came to be in debt to such a family.)

Of all the vampires we've seen so far, the one who has yet to show any selfishness or malicious intent is Ichijou. With that personality, and his rank as Second-in-Command, I wonder if that'll play any part in the overall story later. You might argue that Kaname is also at his level of pacifism, but he lies more on the creepy side. The recent blood sucking also shows he isn't entirely immune to bloodlust.

[David75]

Damn, I spoiled myself beyond sanity in only one phrase in wikipedia. Damn me!

I love how Kaname was just using Ruka. No wonder Ruka is all into him, it's practically leading her on!

I also noticed the animation change in the episodes, but I still like it.

At the moment I can't even tell that Yuuki likes Kaname more than she likes Zero. She pretty much mopes about Zero 24/7, and when she finally remembers that she's practically the most important in Kaname's life, she just ignores it and goes back to Zero. lulz. At least they explain how she came in touch with Kaname anyway, and we know that Kaname didn't just randomly fall for her. I still think Kaname is good because he's bothering to let Zero have his way, even if it is only because he loves Yuuki so much. I hate Yuuki sometimes, her altruism is so high it's nearly selfish.

P.S. The new vampire hunter is a badass.

Also brings out the fact that Kaname has his own issues keeping his fangs at bay.

Actually i got the impression that he did it on purporse in order to show Yuuki that the night class dorm is a dangerous place and she shouldn`t recklessly go in, we already saw a vampire almost bit her before kaname got in.

Hmm, that's entirely possible, knowing how Kaname likes to keep everything to himself.

The original idea I had was that seeing Yuuki like that on the stairs turned on Kaname's lust, but he held back since it's Yuuki. He managed to put Yuuki to bed without giving in to it. Then Ruka walk by......

[Sapphire]

I agree with both things. Either way we certainly know that Kaname was aware that Yuuki was watching..

Vampire Knight ED:
[Nipponsei] Vampire Knight ED Single - still doll [Wakeshima Kanon].zip

What I'm really looking forward to is the OP though. The ED is so-so or my tastes.

While I'm at it:

Vampire Knight - 08 by Chihiro-Fansubs

From what I heard in the Code Geass thread, I'll be sticking with Shoku-dan. Their's is usually out by tomorrow anyway.

Vampire Knight ED:

What I'm really looking forward to is the OP though. The ED is so-so or my tastes.

While I don't deny the ED is so-so, I still like it better than the OP, which sounds so artificial, commercial and popularistic to my ears. The ED is far more original.

[Sapphire]

I don't really like boy band brazilian style japanese music anyway. But I like the dress in the OP. The ED is awesome, and Rozen Maiden gothic loli ali-project like, which is awesome.

I like the character-character interaction and love triangle stuff. I find it hilarious that Kaname bitch slaps anyone who pisses him off. I don't get why Yuuki couldn't use her anti-vampire tatoo thing against the level E, but oh well. Haha, Yuuki should stop following Zero around, she can't even defend herself. Who is that chick at the end, the person who was messing with Yuuki's mind in the last ep/made Z a vampire?

Yuuki's seal only works against Zero, because he made a blood pact with her bracelet at the beginning of episode 5. And it appears the girl knows Zero, so I'm placing my bet on her being the pureblood.

This episode introduced us to the ruling body of the Vampires: the senate. It's interesting how they rule the vampire world, but absolute command still belongs to the pure bloods. At first, I was expecting him to be one of the "bad vampires" that were ordering/mingling with Kaname which they mentioned last episode.

Ichiou isn't a nick that you'd give lightly, and that guy definitely commands a lot of respect and fear, though not nearly as much as Kaname. It'll be interesting to test the theory that "the oldest vampires are the most powerful" in this anime. The guy radiates authority, but not combat ability. (really though, none of them do)

I'm wondering about that line about "not killing any humans", whether it was something from the bottom of his heart, or a last ditch effort to earn some sympathy then bail.

[Mizuchi]

I'm calling right now that sometime, probably towards the end of the series, zero will go in looking like he's about to drink yuuki's blood, showing the fangs and everything, but then instead at the last moment kisses her. =]

[Sapphire]

Aww, how romantic. And then Yuuki will open her eyes in shock and realize she loves Kaname instead. ROFL!!

[Mizuchi]

nah I think that she THINKS she loves kaname and theyre about to be together until zero kisses her and she realizes she really loves zero c:
