This sounds too much like otome clichés even for me. Haven't had good experiences with vampires in shows or movies with a female target audience.

I'd probably check it out as an OVA, but a TV series might be too much.

Check out our new Simul Watch CLUB and join if you're interested in watching stuff together with other people online to discuss about it in a more private and detailed matter than the episode discussion subforums can provide.
Also the Custom Tags Club, if you like to customize your tags and don't want to wait until the MAL feature is fixed.

Code Geass would be Rock-Paper-Scissors in this analogy.

Listening to the voice samples... I want to smack them all with a frying pan. Arrogant jerks... and the kid is creepy. :/

Sigh. Again I'm tempted to start watching because of character design, but after Amnesia as well as all the other otome crap I've watched recently, I will be disappointed. Plus I absolutely hate vampire stories. (Especially when it involves female + romance)

Too bad. Won't be watching. :/

Guess you need some shoujo, would have been better if they start adapting more popular shoujos, instead of adapting otome games that'll most likely end up selling poorly and we all seen enough examples. not that i mind though lol

srsly, more shoujo pls.
