I am sad to admit that it is rare that I find an anime that has an actual well-developed and original storyline. Luckily, Vampire Knight is one of them.
Before I started Vampire Knight, I had very low expectations for the series. The animation style seemed sloppy, and the entire story seemed cliche and cheesy. This anime quickly changed my mind and erased all of my uncertainties.
The story is somewhat of a love-triangle, not gonna lie. But it’s not bad at all! Even more than a love story, the series is action-packed, has well thought out dialogue, has amazing characters and character development, and has many twists and turns that will make you want to keep watching episode after episode with no breaks in between.
This series is a must watch if you enjoy all of the above. There is lots of blood, and lots of feels. The story-line progresses wonderfully, and is complete throughout the beginning, middle, climax, and end. Nothing left me disappointed. I mean, a little more love action would be nice, but that’s just because I’m a perv.
As a sidenote, Vampire Knight Guilty is the second season that starts out right where the first season left off and should be watched directly after.
Both opening theme songs are awesome.
There are a few super epic twists that I hope don’t get spoiled for you.
The reason this is an 8/10 and not higher, is mostly because of the animation. It’s simply not my favorite style. A few things could also be a bit less cheesy, effects could be cooler. If the series was longer I probably would have enjoyed it more.
There you go, good luck and I hope you enjoy your Vampire Knight journey.
