Pretty good overall, I wanted to like it much more than I did but there were some minor failings, (to not spoil too much I'll write once I've reviewed the title in it's full so will be at the very bottom) A lot of mystery and questions. So much so that it overshadows some of the characters and they do not get equal screen time, so they're just kind of there. Though since it was minor it was fairly easy to ignore in the thick of it, but did take away from my score.
Despite the creepy feel it fortunately wasn't too gory at all. Some blood but not copious amounts. We're faced with some really tense moments which kept me hooked.
Knew how to change pace, when one story was too heavy going, the writers knew when to switch it up to keep it fresh and interesting,
Art:
Rather good. Though in some ways I feel it could've been better, They move rather stiff like marionettes and the expressions sometimes don't suit the emotions that are meant to be conveyed in certain situations but generally beautiful.
Sound:
Intro/ending songs pretty good. Catchy, It'll be unlikely forget them, suits the tone of the series. VA's good but sometimes could've been better, but definitely not the worst VA's.
Character:
Pretty good. The headmaster serves as our primary source of comic relief amongst a very serious cast. Some are a bit underdelvoped given the time but this is somewhat remedied in '...Guilty'
Kinda spoilery? I'll still try to remain as vague as I can but you might want to click 'show less' now.
What I found to be quite odd is that Yuki is faced with a Dilemma later in the series. Something which she couldn't have been able to do, Yet we are not indulged in what she thought of this. When faced with the request I thought 'whoa!! what's she gonna do about this?!' turns out not much at all...and it's shrugged off in a matter of seconds despite the difficult situation it put her in.
Another instance which confused me was she had a flashback Yuki had of Kaname doing something she thought he'd never do. It was not clear to me if it was a fellow night class student, who had just been talking about something similar. Or an innocent person. Neither one we're indulged to find out which. And it's left there and not mentioned again.
