Story (8):
The story was apparently ripped off of some show in the 80's, according to my mother, but being that I'm a "youngster" I didn't know it, so it was a new story plot to me. The whole concept of a vampire hater turning into a vampire is quite amusing, all that self-hatred and toil and such. It makes the characters deep and emotional. The pace was perfect in my mind.
Art (9):
I love the dark art that they use, going with the theme, and they boys were pretty dang hot, if you ask me. Yuuki's eyes were......a little big, I guess, but hey, it's anime, I got used to it. The detail was excellent, and I loved how all the vamp-y scenes were done, and how the blood stains were on thier face and neck.
Sound (10):
My gawsh, if I could listen to the OP and EP over and over andover again, I most certainly would. Also, the organ (organ, right?) and stings in the background while the anime was going on was perfectly excecuted. And as creepy and spine-chilling as it was, when you heard the sound of something sounding like crunchy skin when a vampire bit into someone's neck was disgustingly thrilling. This was the best aspect of Vampire Knight, personally.
Character (6):
This is where Vampire Knight was very poor in. I probably would have given this a higher score if Yuuki's character was more reasonable. She's so thick-headed and absent-minded that it drives me crazy sometimes. Luckily, Zero's emo-like, yet kind and caring personality and Kaname's good/evil character made of for Yuuki's never changing, never developing, oh-so-very aggrivating personality less annoying.
Enjoyment (9):
The enjoyment level is fairly high, which is good for someone who hates all vampire like storylines. The sound and art really made this a pleasure to watch.
Overall (8):
Overall, Vampire Knight is something that will keep you up late at night because, "I just need to finish one more episode. That's it, I promise." Trust me, you will break that promise.
