Lame episode is lame. Everything felt over-dramatized; I couldn't help but laugh when Zero went into a fit while fighting with Ichiru.

The dance wasn't as good as I was hoping, but it wasn't terrible. Although the dancing itself was horrendous. XD

I found Ichijou's "Nani nani, Kaname?" oddly cute. :3

huh...I guess I'm alone in liking this ep? Honestly I don't have a problem with the animation. I mean, sometimes it gets a little janky, but overall I don't feel it detracts from the show.


You're not alone. I agree with you. The animation doesn't bother me at all. But I'm sure it's mostly because I'm reading subtitles and completely intrigued by the story to care. I haven't read the manga yet so I have no idea what's going to happen next. I'm not one to try to figure it out as the show continues. I like to loose myself in the show and let it guide me. Then I'll reflect back on it after it's over. ^_~

I LOVED Kaname hugging Yuuki! So sweet! ^_^

Finally some more Kaname... this series was losing its pace with only focusing on the rather boring Zero.

Indeed! At first I was totally Yuuki/Zero. Now I'm Yuuki/Kaname... >.<

This episode was better then the last few. I feel sorry for Yuuki...=(

The animation was horrible at times. No, rly. It seems they have a low budget(a very low one) or... the staff is like: "Let's just quickly finish this crap and go drinkling! Kanpai!" xD
The "action" scenes really lack the action itself. Jeez...
I was expecting much more from this series. I haven't read the manga so I have nothing to compare the anime to, but it still sucks balls for me.
And I don't like Kaname... >.> BUT I don't like how they make Zero look, either. Grrrr...
I'll be nicer if you give me chocolate and bishies ^^

i don't find this episode bad, pretty good adaption of the manga. i was looking forward to see kaname in the ball too. well as for the lack of action scenes...personally, i don't think there are a lot of action scenes in the manga anyway so i am ok with the bit of action between twins and the master in this episode.

I love listening to Ichiru talk to Zero. Like, fdkldfkdflkl yay. <3

hehe yeah Mamoru talking to himself XP

yeah animation was a bit of a disappointment like everyone's been saying.
but after reading the manga i just like to watch this to see it come to life =]
its funny watching this after reading the manga, i have totally different feelings for things that happen than when i first read it cause of everything that's happened in the manga...these things distract me from the animation quality - lol at yuki and zero's heads in some parts..other than that its ok most the time =]
still love it though =]

aww and Shiki <3 .the dancing was funny =P

Yep the animation is definitely getting worse and worse (which is a great feat already as it was particularly bad even from the beginning...). Apart from that, there are some good plot ideas but the whole thing is just terribly inconsistent and not well directed at all.

Although the animation was worse than usual (where's the shading on the faces?), I liked the development in the story. The acting in the scene between Ichiru and Zero was really impressive as well. I'm not being biased here, despite being a Mamoru Miyano fan. The fact that he was able to make the two characters distinguishable was a great feat, so bravo to him!

Oh, and I like the new OP sequence, too.

I didn't really notice a big difference animation wise, so I'm not to sure what everyone is up in arms about. I thought this episode was pretty decent. It really makes it a mastery for the people that haven't read the manga and have no idea whats going on, like me. So I found this pretty enjoyable overall even though there was no action packed fighting.

ok, having a constant bad animation is one thing.. but having a constantly changing bad animation is another thing.. i noticed that kaname's face keep changing.. sometimes he looks mature, sometimes he looks younger... then times his face looks chunky, sometimes it looks long and skinny..




however, as to compare to other episode.. this one is not really as bad... i was enjoying admiring kaname when he told yuuki that she was making a strange face.. and that he was just kidding... he kept that serious face.. so cute... and moreover, i also enjoyed that part when he got annoyed and cracked the door... i wanna see more of his power.. "i have the feeling that i want to be tied up to keep things from happening again".... awww i wanna see kaname lose his cool.. he's very good at restraining himself.. i wanna see the full extent of his power..

chairman never fail.. he always makes me chuckle.. during the beginning of the ball.. when he called kiryu-kun's name.. and when zero turned, and poked him on the face... little thing but show so much personality of the chairman



and oh, when the president called ruka's name "R-Ruka-chan"... i thought there was a puppy barking during the "R".. i dont know.. lol..maybe its just me...

This anime started out good, but now, it's like watching vampire hentai with Zero and Yuki. Ewww. Honestly, I'm starting to hate the show because of all the vampire lust, but I'm gonna give VK another chance and hope that'll the plot will turn for the better.

woah... i wouldn't take it as far as hentai... that's kinda well extremely exaggerated (i mean i have you seen kanokon?) He had been injured so his blood lust was a lot more intense. Yea it was kinda fan servicey i guess but it wasn't anything beyond necessary. and it being a <b>vamipre shoujo </b> blood sucking couple with sexy vamps was bound to occur in a some what seductive manner..

Haha. Don't take me too literally. Exaggerating was the point. :p And it's a bit going beyond the necessary because its like that (or there are hints) every time they see each other. The episode was also overly dramatic. Actually, it's only the "sexy vamps" that makes me want to keep watching.

On another note, only BBC works in posts.

Along with everyone else, this episode did lack the animation I came to love in certain episodes. I expected the whole, ball to be beautiful but I came to say "wahh".

The whole sucking blood/sex thing is just amusing to me, :D ahaha.
& I figured killing Kaname, is what Yuuki was told to do. Though, I prefer Zero over Kaname any day, I wouldn't want to see him die. He's a nice character, I wove'z him. I just don't like him getting in the way of Zero and Yuuki love, c: though since Yuuki had to think over her two options, it leads me to believe that Zero has a very high chance of being "the one". Hopefully that is, the case. Anyway, the main question is still what Shizuka’s goal for doing all this is, and I’m also curious to see why her body needed to be frozen like that.

me too! I want to see what he is made of... he must be something for all he has accomplished.

Infact, I want more (any) action... or better drama. This episode wasn't terrible, but it was boring at parts and felt like the pace was very slow.

Hopefully if picks up soon because season 1 is almost over.

The only thing I like was that dress. If only the sleeves were tight and not that loose.

I still don't know if Kaname treating Yuuki as his one and only love or like a slice of pizza.

So I was right about Ichiru and he did feel inferior and she offered to make him well again, although surprisingly didn't turn him in to a vampire, only let him drink her blood, I thought she had turned him for sure. I can't believe Yagari saved him.

That fight between Ichiru and Zero was hot.

Wow, so Yuki either has to give herself to Maria or a dead Kaname, not quite what I expected.

Kaname and Yuki dancing together on the terrace was so cute and it was so cute that he gave her that dress, he really does quite love her.

I would say Kaname is quite protective over Yuki, I guess the way he goes about it and keeps bringing up when she was a kid they did this and that it does make it seem he still treats her like a child.

Wow, Shizuka's real body is encased in ice, didn't expect that lol.
