Holy Knight

The story is fairly short, only OVA of 2 episodes so it won't be a long review. I prefer writing shorter reviews anyway, since I hate reading 13 pages long essays of some conceited person hairsplitting every single unimportant point.

I came across the anime like any other person does, that is, on teh inturwebs.
I was disappointed it was only an OVA of 2 episodes, not a real deal.

A good intro setting the mood and catching attention of viewer and what I always like seeing, a hint of forbidden romance, which especially makes it intriguing. The story doesn't end but the makers haven't produced more episodes.

Unfortunately, ... that's about it (without spoilers). If you like romance, definitely recommended. It has some ecchi, but nothing preposterous. They really ought to make a 12 episode long anime.
It has good potential in my opinion.

SPOILERLESS REVIEW

This show is short, very short, so my review won't be too long.

Holy Knight in one sentence: Rushed and wasted potential.

STORY: 4/10

As for story - It is nothing amazing, its bad and rushed, but hey !, there is no way to properly cover a lot of story in 2 episodes 26 minutes each long. It is all about semi-vampire girl - Kishimoto that want to fuck young "handsome" student - Shinta because that was her "fate". Apparently this boy have some powers too. Shockingly, after I watched 2 episodes I was kinda sad, because I really think that the story could go in great ... way and deliver amazing experience for the viewer, sadly it just ended after 2 eps with the "MEH????" ending.

ART: 7/10

Art is the strongest part of the show (exposed boobies huhuhu), but nothing special, the lines were pleasing to the eye despite some visible shortcomings. It was just good.

SOUND: 6/10

Sound, despite my expectations was good and by sound I mean OP, some little OST and ED, but oh my... the sound effects... they were bad, very bad, for example, character's footsteps were too loud and felt unnatural, + we got a bunch of repetitive "stock" low quality overused sound effects. Opening is the best part of the musical aspect of this anime (it had nice lyrics too!)

CHARACTERS: 6/10

Characters were just meh, not memorable and really simple. I would rate characters 4/5 If not those 2 guards - 1 guarding Shinta and one guarding Lilith. Especially that cat with heterochromia was quiet interesting character, and I perhaps liked her the most from entire cast of characters despite the fact that she had nearly to 0 character development. Design of characters are simple but fitting to the atmosphere. What really bothered me too was the fact that some characters appeared twice or few more times and they were just there, LITERALLY nothing about them had been said, they were just shown to the viewer. Two main characters were meh - uninteresting at all Lilith that actually got some backstory and "your-usual-harem-boy" Shinta that was ok-ish but nothing outstanding was told about him. At the end of the end he just got a little bit more interesting, and then this anime just ended (lul).

ENJOYMENT: 7/10

Nonetheless, I was enjoying this show, I just wanted it to develop more interesting story and especially characters. There was scene with exposed boobs, so + as well (am I really ok to say this :I ? it was quiet disturbing scene tho)

OVERALL: 6/10

Despite all the flaws and omnipresent mediocrity I think it is worth a try, it is barely 60 minutes of show so you won't lose too much if you happen not liking it at all. Story, characters and art make this show at least merely enjoyable. You won't like it if you are too fussy tho. If you are fan of vampire-powers genre you should think about watching it and then reading the manga because I heard that there is not that bad continuation, but if you have other, better things to do you shouldn't focus on this too much. there are surely a lot more well-written and/or animated shows about vampires out there.

I decided to watch this because after about five chapters I got too lazy to read the manga, which is pretty bad since there's only 16 chapters and they aren't very long. I'm not gonna say I should've stuck with the manga because I doubt it would have been better, but I really wish I didn't waste 40 minutes by watching this. I guess it could have been a decent story, highly unlikely, if it was more than two episodes. But only being two episodes the story ends up being complete shit because you don't get an actual fucking ending. The only thing that was ... average was the animation, but even that isn't enough for me to tell someone "hey if your ever really really bored, why don't you check this out you might not hate yourself for wasting your time on it" I really wish you could give this giant two episode piece of shit a 0, but since 1 is as low as it can get for overall score that's what it's getting
