Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

Vampire Knight is an insanely popular (at least at Mangatraders) shoujo manga with lines of ravenous fangirls extending into infinity. I would expect there will be lots of shoujo clichés but in an interesting and endearing setting, I mean who doesn't love vampire stories....Originally Posted by AnimeNewsNetwork
I don't have a clue anymore what's going on in the latest chapters of the manga. The story totally lost me in its incoherence. The beginning was pretty good, though, and I expect the anime to be much more clear in any case.
I'll most likely have a look at this, especially if some reputable looking fansub group picks it up. I mean, who doesn't love vampire stories?
Seems like a pretty decent anime, but man do I get pissed off at all the girls screaming for their idols and when the main girl is totally fine with having her blood sucked.
At least you can almost tell the characters apart now. Having voices doesn't hurt with that either. In the manga it's either a color swap for the main vampire...Kaname, and the rest of the guys (including Zero) all look exactly the same.
I can't say I've ever understood why this series with bishonen is more popular than any other cookie-cutter series with bishonen (excepting Ouran, which has humor and makes fun of bishonen stereotypes), but have have tried reading it.
I'm going to pass on this one. But hey, it's a vampire series, which are few and far between these days.
Yuh, whenever a little vamp comes along it's like an obligation to at least check it out...
BTW, this anime actually felt a lot like Ouran, both in the feel and in the art style, a bit darker in general but otherwise pretty much the same. Same creator?
Not a chance. Studio DEEN is doing the production on this one, BONES did Ouran. Hatori Bisco did Ouran, Hino Matsuri created this.
Bishonen male characters are about the only thing the two series share. That, and the reverse harem.
Well, depending on how they are going to manage action and internal plots, it may turn out quite well.
I actually really liked this manga (but thats because I love vampire stories, especially dark ones), but I don't intend to watch the anime since I already know the story. I loved the ED video for the first episode though.
Peace.
It strikes me as odd that for as capable as they make Yuuki out to be what with her jumping off buildings and whatnot shes totally powerless against Aidou. How is she supposed to protect anyone?
This reeks of shounen-ai at the moment to me... am I mistaken. Is bishounen the extent of it, or am I right on the shounen-ai assumption?
Its shoujo. While there are moments of shounen-ai-like stuff, its quite rare.
Peace.
I guess I'll give a try, being a vampire fan myself.
I can't off the top of my head say I remember any, but the manga is so horribly laid out and the plot confusing (due to characters all looking the same, it's much better in the anime) that I doubt I could spoil even if I wanted to.
Still, it's a vampire series who's target audience is girls. Girls who scream fervently about bishonen characters.
I would not put it past them.

Though I typically don't really like vampire comedies, I saw the word fangirl somewhere so I will check it out. XD
Notes while watching: This is fairly awesome. The random supernatural jumping in is awesome. The dead rose trailing passed them while they walked was awesome. The first guy who talked looked like the Shota from Ouran, and the second guy's name was Akatsuki LOL. The earring guy was awesome but sigh at every guy being smexy. lol @ her being the only one not in line. The concepts and characters seem cool. The chairman seems awesome (and voice is familiar), I always love flamboyant characters who are serious on the inside. The animation and character design have room for improvement (she prolly wasn't meaning to just stand there, but the animation looked like that), but it's very good for a "shoujo". I like Zero because he like an impenetrable fortress to the main character who is infatuated with some other guy lol. They also convey his emotions and "looks" well. I'll be surprised if this becomes as emotionally deep and moving as Honey & Clover or even Ouran. I'll hope for the best. There's just enough action in this to make me giddy. This is similar to Anita Blake. o_O
lol @ ryllharu's post XD!!

The manga at least had little comedy (compared to something like Rosario+Vampire at least). I doubt the anime will make such a big difference.
Well, the first episode looked pretty good. I rather like this type of art, or maybe I'm just accustomed to it. I can't say too much about the story, but the setting is interesting. I'm not expecting any out-of-the-blue (or darkness) monsters popping up over the place, but the OP suggests quite some action, so I'll be watching this. I like the OP too.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

Now that is fangirl power. I wonder if I will ever have that much complete love and devotion towards a vampire bishounen anime. XD

I'll make sure to ban you from the forums before that happens... don't worry about it. Damn, that's ludicrous.
Munsu, you and I have probably both seen worse (maybe not that bad in person) and you know it.
I seem to recall some of the Ouran ones being very bad. There is no doubt that this series was created solely to pander to this exact audience.
