vampire knight is the kind of show that i enjoy despite myself. it's a guilty pleasure anime, really.

what i like about this anime: dark, mindless, sexual tension! my favorite kind! i really think this aspect of the show kept me hooked. many of the scenes between yuki and zero have a charged atmosphere that sucks me in. i like zero's character a lot actually, mostly because i find him the most complex of the 3 main ones. all his torment is kinda cute... also i like the beginning song a lot. it's so freakin' catchy. at first i hated it, but once i gave it a listen once or twice i realized that it was easy to bop my head along with. i like the ending song, too. it's pretty and creepy at the same time. the art... eh. i mean i think everything is clean and pretty, which is something i really appreciate in an anime, but sometimes the characters seem rather stiff to me.

what isn't so great: yuki. her character is kind of the worst. she's well intentioned but essentially useless. she is supposed to be part of this disciplinary stuff and it's like she can't even fight!! she always needs to be saved after dramatically dropping her weapon. she can do crazy parkour but can't fight a bad guy :( i'd love her so much more if she wasn't such a damsel in distress. though i suppose it's partially necessary for the plot. speaking of plot; it's pretty boring and generic. it's uneventful and not particularly unique in any way.

overall, this anime is good for people looking for something mindless, short, relatively easy on the eyes, and somewhat engaging. it's not life-changing by any stretch of the imagination.
