I have been meaning to write review for this,but im not sure if its needed :p
but here it goes. This review doesnt have any manga prespective as i have not yet read it.
To start this story has a great concept and spin on the age old story of vampires. It is intresting that the creators came up w/ 3 diff levels of vampires which bascially break down into Noble vampire::Reg. vampires::Level E vampires. Essentially takes many diff historical types
of vamps and gives them a backstory in why they are that way. The Main story takes place at a school w/ a day class[humans] night class[vamps] but
day class doesnt know that the night class is in fact vampires. The "perfects" and main characters yuuki and Zero protect that secrect. Although its difficult when all the vamps are hotties and all the girls in the school are constantly after them ;which helps for some comedic breaks. The school is used as a way to show the world that vamps and humans can coexsist as long as vampire take these fake blood tablets to substitue real blood..this is where my negetives come in.
Negitives are this. While its a nice concept of tablets are nice.. it is evident its not feasable vamp wise. heres an analogy: lets say someone tells
you --i want you to agree to take these food pills/appitite supressients instead of eating food for good of coexisting w/ the world. Oh see that table
full of hamburgers.. you're not allowed to eat them! Thats a no no!--
Eventually we're all going for those burgers! xD That part of the story was kinda just didnt work for me..i mean they dont have a blood bank ..a donation center something! :p Some situations were also very conveinant but
meh..i can deal with that
Art was great. loved the style and character designs. Comic relief scenes were just that and cute. but the genral dark mood was great.
Many bishonen and bishoujo so im sure many ..including myself are happy
w/ that. i know there some dispute of manga vs anime style but i think they
looks great. i like the way the eyes are drawn.
Music matches the mood nicelyduring eps. i cant say i liked the intro too much,but the ending theme Still Doll is one of my fav songs now ^.^
Characters are well developed and still mysterious which i love.
things are explained but all when it is apporiate. sometimes it can be a bit predictable [except for kaname] The only charac. that loses cool points with me the main girl of our story, yuuki. at first i thought shes pretty intresting,but they turned her into typical stupid anime girl who makes the worst desions..or make silly assumptions xP. very frustrating. i cant im rooting for zeroxyuuki be/c yuuki is well lame. but im rooting for Zero in a way.
Overall this is a great watch and i cant wait the next season. sometimes
it seems the story might be lacking but i hoping for more in the next season.
if you love vampire stories, with some nice fansevice once n while and intresting story..be sure to give this a try yoosh!
