Hmm... wasn't a huge fan of this episode. Can't say I like any of the characters particularly well. I probably won't drop it, though.

As expected Mamoru nailed Zero and I have to say that Fukuyama was pretty good as Aido. Horie yui was rather nice as Yuuki as well. Nice adaption so far and I'm in the Yuuki x Zero camp!

That was pretty cool. I really like the OP and the ED, especially the animations! Guess it's clear that Zero is a Vampire too, or some kind of half-Vampire. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

For starters I felt that it was horribly written, not as bas as Zaizen Jotaro but still pretty stop. The over use of voice overs is just killing it. We know what happened in the character's past, you already showed us, stop telling us. We know how characters feel about other characters, we can see it in how they act, stop telling us like we're 6 and can't figure it out.

Second, the jokes are just horrible. They break the pace of the drama that they're trying to build up, even though they primarily do it by those horrendous voice overs, and they're not funny. Anythnig that they have build up is automatically shattered by the placement of an extremly out of place bad joke.

And finally, as I am a dude I'm not in it for the pretty guys which seems to be a huge draw for its female fanbase.

I was just ok, the soundtrack makes up for a bit of the bad writing but it's still just kinda average. I'm slightly interested in some of the background character but I don't think I can stand another ep which is full needless monologuing.

I thought this was pretty damn good. I only read the first chapter of the manga a looo~ng time ago, so I don't have really any complaints while comparing both. To me, it was a great start, very nice animation, and good voice acting. Jun Fukuyama as that cheerful vampire was so great. Will definitely follow this, and it's potentially my favourite anime of the season.

Well ep 1 seemed to follow the manga to a T, including the cutscenes. The voices where better than i was expecting, and the animation was wonderful. I really enjoyed the ep, i love the op and eds but dam the ed. gives a bit too much away.

Okay, I watched it a minute ago with my friend who reads Vampire Knight too.
Hmm.... I was really shocked because after I watched the trailer I thought it was going to be horrible. It was okay.
The animation: WTF
The voice actors and the songs: really good! (Miyano Mamoru was awesome and Fukuyama Jun too :DDDDDD)
Zero looks like... shit T_________________T
And they put some changes in the anime and it made me wanna kill them dgfkjhdgdfgjhfdkjgdhfgkj TT___________TT DIE

What's so wrong with the animation if I may ask? Because I didn't notice anything horrendous.

First impression = Very Good!


Zero looks better in the anime than in the manga, whereas Kaname is vice-versa. (and I'm more of a Kaname fan ;P). Yuki seems...different somehow, I think it might be her hair. Still, like I said, I'm quite pleased by it so far.


Oh, and I was also a bit shocked that they showed a certain something with Zero so soon. Even in the manga it didn't happen for a little bit. But I guess they want to up the pacing or something. *shrugs*


How does exactly Zero look better in the anime? he looks like shit! They changed all his character design |:

And about the thing with Zero: You're right, I thought that it was really fast. Like I said, they put some changes.

Well, Yuuki's eyes became suddenly small after they were big... and... things like that. It's hard to describe.

Well, it's an anime, it's bound to be different from the manga. Animation inconsistencies are bound to happen in every anime, and I personally thought the design was pretty close to Matsuri Hino's, and that's pretty hard in itself, because her style is really detailed. I think you're just being a bit too picky. Then again, most manga readers are when their manga becomes an anime, it's pretty upsetting, especially since this one is pretty well made, imo.

As of right now, I'd say this show, rating-wise, is somewhere between Kanokon and Bus Gamer, I.E. around a 6/10. (Though I have no relation whatsoever to the manga, and I just downloaded this episode more or less randomly.)

yeah a really nice first episode they did for this anime I have to admit.
The op was well done the ed was quite decent but still ok.

I hope I can expect something from this show. :)

It was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the manga, so I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but for some reason it seems to work better for me as an anime. Maybe it's just that the voice acting was good.

I liked the opening, but it wasn't anything amazing, and they definitely skimped out a bit on the animation in some of the sequences, but it was still plenty entertaining. I don't think I'm going to drop this.

yay!!
i really like the music.... and the animation during the OP/ED sequences is pretty nice.
the voicing is also good...

i wonder how close they can keep it to the manga
although, i didnt like how they added in random humour which wasnt really funny... they need to keep the emoness on a good level or else itd start to deviate from the manga.. =D
