I'm liking how it is fitting in with the manga nicely. Although the pace is quite slow.

Comments made while watching:

-Double standard with Aidou-senpai ^_^

-Could somebody please explain what the heck is going on?

-"Im not being treated special." Oh the fricken yes you are Yuuki! You are still alive, that alone is special treatment considering some of the crap you have pulled! Granted you are a main character but still...

-And of course Zero heard that...the love triangle continues...oh joy.

-Chibi Kaname and Chibi Aidou...well there is a nice touch...also begs the question of exactly when these vampires stop aging?

-So Kaname was always an asshole then, a clever and witty asshole but still an asshole.

-Nice save Aidou, you lost your marble.

-You sick girl, I swear Yuuki seems to have developed an un-healthy need to have vampires drink her blood.

-Aidou sees a chess board on Kaname's desk with the white pieces destroyed and the black king standing in the middle. He immediately draws the conclusion that Kaname is planning something. NO FREAKING DUH! He has been planning something for like 16 episodes now! Even Yamagami Light never took this long!

-Anyone notice how quickly Yuuki's hand healed? Seriously what is up with that?

-Trust me Yuuki, it would be so much more amazing if you did become a vampire but then again the chances of that happening any time soon with this series are slim.

Post Episode Comments:

They just devoted an entire episode to flashbacks, developing Aidou's character and Yuuki's blood fetish and all they have to show for it is the sudden realization that Kaname is planning something. In other shocking news, a new scientific study has found that people who watch television are more likely to see commercials than people who do not. Really really wish they would get on with it and let Kaname suddenly turn evil, they only have what? 10 episodes left?

Yuuki, -___-;

Anyway...at this point I'm more interested in everyone else's story besides Yuuki's, she really has gotten on my nerves. I think the animation improved a bit? Then again, I just picked up the series again from a month break lol. Let's see how this goes.

Aidou-senpai is cute.. Then again, it seems like his death is approaching.



In order to protect Yuuki from Kaname-senpai who seeks to turn her into a vampire alongside him, Zero intends to sacrifice himself to prevent her from facing the cruel fate of vampires who cannot survive without meaningless bloodshed. Unfortunately, since Zero had drank the blood of Kuran to prevent himself from going berserk while gaining incredible powers, he cannot harm Kuran Kaname in any way. Looks like the end of this anime will be a very depressing one...

whats up with shikii and his mum??? shes all over him like hes her lover instead of her son.
I understand that kaname is pur blood and all but the reverence for him is beyond my understanding. Its like everyone is bullied into loving him even when they know hes up to something especially aido...
Yuuki really needs to sort her feeling out... kaname or zero!?!?!?
(personally i prefere zero but kinda like the sexy dark side of kaname)...

I am sort of getting a little bored with all of the Yuki introspection scenes.. There must be a better way of evolving the story than by this method... So far I like the first season much better..

hm. it does seem to be moving slowly, but in a good way. It's not to slow, and not overpacked with things. I like it.

And am i the only one who finds the spots they choose to end the episodes a bit odd? I guess it's because it's not the usual cliffhanger that makes you go 'i just HAVE to seen the next ep NOW!" or something. More, for lack of a better wrd, suttle. I guess that's the style of vampire knight. It's pretty nice, and with the 'I will show you a sweet dream next nigt' (if i got that right) afterwards, when you really least expect it.

This season is MUCH better than the first, in my opinion!

I really feel sorry for Hanabusa because he wants to be Kaname in some way, Poor Zero he seems to have the worst of everything, Another side to Kaname which we haven't seen, but would have liked to see what happens to Shiki.

Chibi Aidou is cute. :3

And I think Yuuki enjoys having her blood sucked.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

This is going a little slow to be honest, but this was a decent episode.
So Aidou's admiration for Kaname is coming since they were little... I see. Glad to see those flashbacks.
That scene of Zero biting Yuuki's hand. What a scene.
Btw, Shiki's mother it's beautiful.

It sounds like Hanabusa is gay, you wouldn't blush surely if you meant you loved someone like a brother or like respected them normally. Someone told me he wasn't but it came off like it with the blushing and what he said.

I liked all the cute flashbacks, really young Kaname sounded weird lol.

It kinda made me laugh when young Kaname said to Hanabusa at the party "because if you knew anything I'd have to kill you" - it did make me wonder if he killed his own parents or something.

Yes, Kaname really does have a dark side, I think really Zero may be better for Yuki, they both care for her but Zero seems more genuine and honest and trustworthy.

For me it was an average episode.
Still fine, but I wasnt rly into it.
Hope the real drama comes out quickly, probably Vampires vs Kaname or something?
Seems like it at last idk :o

Yuki: "Even if Kaname betrays me I'd be ok with it."

How is it possible for me to hate Yuki even more than I already do?!?! For the love of god! Why does an otherwise good show have to have such an horribly awful MC?

Aido care about Zero too. It was cute of him but his relationship with Kaname at first seem well-written then felt homoerotic in nature. Hopefully, this isn't writer's bad habit that destory the story.
