Vampire Knight: Gekiai no Portrait

I find it challenging to rate this. It's no surprise that this is the first review after almost 5 years after it aired...

This is basically a 3 minute comedy with no relation to the storyline whatsoever and...there's not much of a story either...
Can't hurt to watch, right? Something which has the purpose of creating amusement to a more serious anime.

It also reveals a more lenient side of Kaname, which is interesting considering how serious he is in the Anime. I'd say it's a challenge to write this review without spoiling anything, as there's not much to be shown in 3 minutes other ... than it's off-track comedy.

(Message me if you can't find it but want to watch it.)

There really isn't much of a story or a point to this, but if you're looking to pass time and have seen Vampire Knight and can at least marginally tolerate it, then this is a good fit for you.

It's a short, three minute OVA about an election for dorm president in the Night Class. It's completely pointless and the characters are crack versions of themselves, making this pretty entertaining.

The art is just as it is in the series. Cleanly drawn, dreary, and alright to look at. Nothing special.

The sound was considerably better for me, especially after having seen the dubbed version, which ... has some of the worst voice actors I've yet to hear.

The characters are nothing special-- they're just crack, so I don't really see a point in elaborating on that.

Either way, I enjoyed it enough that I was sad when it was over, and this is coming from a person who didn't like Vampire Knight all that much.

I would recommend this if you: like Vampire Knight, like the night class, have three extra minutes you wanna get rid of

I would NOT recommend this if you: didn't like Vampire Knight, don't like crack, didn't like the Knight class, have very little time to spend on tv (then why are you here?)

Have a great day everyone!

The story is not that unique knowing it's predictable, I mean it's given that Kaname is not that fond of Aido and we know he'll be the punching bag of the episode. Though, I enjoyed the simple comedy mix after a heavy dark romance. Of course the art style will always be my bet. Sadly, I wish they could've at least made Kaname play along to the election instead of straight up saying he'll vote of his vice president. Though, I guess Kaname being Kaname he'll react the same. As much I enjoyed it, it's too short for roughly 4 minutes, I wish the special ... episode could've at least run for 15 minutes or the usual episode time.
