There’s a long review coming……….
About the STORY
First, it is a very common story for vampires to have a very gloomy life. In this series, we see how complicated can be the lives of vampires. Not only for the lowest type of vampires but for nobles and purebloods also. We always admire them and yet they are always portrayed as not so happy people. It serves like a moral lesson that even with so much power and long lives it still wouldn’t give you an assurance of attaining happiness. We see vampires who do not want people around them turn into vampires and we also see human beings who wanted so bad to become a vampire. After learning the truth about their lives and that vampire themselves is not so happy with their lives, you will realize the importance of being a human. The story itself might be gloomy and equipped with a very heavy drama however you can still get so excited by the storyline and main plot of the series. It is still interesting and anticipating to see how the story will go. The only thing that bothers me in the story is the romance part. One of the reasons why I love stories about vampires is because of their love story. Vampire’s love story is always complicated which is very much different from your everyday love story and yet you can still feel the passion from them when they are in love. Because they’ve been living for so long or can live for so long, vampires tend to either fool around with different people all their lives or search for that one true love. After finding that true love they will love that only person for the rest of their eternal lives. There is no half-hearted love when it comes to vampires and they are always so passionate about their love. The thing that bothers me is that it is an obvious fact that Yuki and Kaname are in love and yet it looks like to me that Yuki is more infatuated with Zero. In fact, there are moments when I thought that Kaname was just a third party and it is a love story between Yuki and Zero. Oh well, I guess it gives more a complicated touch to the story considering it is not just about the romance side of the story but more on the complicated lives of vampires that intertwines with humans.
About the CHARACTERS
The number one reason why I just love vampires is that they are so damn gorgeous looking creatures. Particularly, in this series, almost all the characters are delicious looking especially the vampire characters. The author manages to create them perfectly and that’s not only with the way they look but more importantly with their personalities. Vampires are very proud creatures. Aside from the fact that they’ve been living for so long that they’ve acquire too many wisdoms much like old people, they are so proud of their species also. They believe that they are way above from any type of species including human beings. And because of that, they carry themselves with so much nobility, sophistication, and elegance. The series’ characters are the epitome of a genuine vampire. Setting aside the real and noble vampires, Zero is also gorgeous looking although he suffers a lot because he is not a vampire at will. I don’t exactly like Yuki though I don’t particularly like her. She’s one of those types of character that I like the least. The type of character that’s very frail and weak just like a traditional damsel in distress in your everyday fairy tale. She can’t do much and keep on doing misplaced kindness which turns out so cheesy and so very cliché. Because of her unnecessary and over to top kindness to Zero, it’s as if he is the real person that she loves when she always claims that she’s always been in love with Kaname. I really don’t like people who do things half-heartedly and can’t decide considering Kaname himself is so sure with his feelings with Yuki.
About KURAN KANAME
Kaname is the very epitome of a real vampire. Gorgeous, sophisticated, elegant, enigmatic and very much cool. Him being a pureblood and leads the rest of the vampires make him even hotter. Plus, there’s this very mysterious aura around him just like a typical vampire character. You really can’t understand what are his real motives and the reasons with his actions. And after realizing the reasons behind it all you will love him even more. In fact, his in the top 10 of my hundred lists of best characters and NUMBER ONE on my lists cutest male characters and that never changes for so many years already. I just love it when he speaks and utter the name “Yuki”. It is like a very devil seduction.
About the Animation
Vampire Knight has one of the most amazing animations with its breathtaking visuals and gorgeous looking characters. The seiyus’ voice gives more seduction to the hotness of the characters and so the delivery of the lines is so magnificent.
This is one of my favorites and would always remember even after watching it or even after so many years. I am so looking forward to the sequel.
