Giving a score for this is quite difficult. I cannot say that I enjoyed Vampire Knight, though I'm not saying that this anime is bad. There are a lot of elements in here that make it passable. In fact, there are a couple of good features in here worth mentioning.
It's popular.
Really? It is? Well... that's the impression I received. Anime North 2008 was swarming with girls in Vampire Knight cosplay. Maybe the manga is popular. Perhaps those wanted to jump in with a sparkling 2008 anime costume. Or maybe I just didn't notice it until now? Still, Vampire Knight seemed really popular with the ladies, so I gave it a try. I got through it all. Overall, this anime was "okay", but it wasn't great.
There was little humour. I couldn't find myself laughing in any situation. Sure they'd use some odd faces here and there, usually in involvement with the School Chairperson. It still wasn't funny. Actually, events were quite overly dramatic in the beginning. I don't know how they did that, but they made things excessively dramatic and boring at the same time. Talent.
But it's stylish! Plenty of great art here and there, and there, there! (I'm just being silly here). But just like Faebinder mentions, I really liked the OP and ED as well. Not just the song, but the video sequences. It was almost goth/grunge. Use of blood and morbidity was minimal, just enough to be classy. Hey, maybe Vampire Knight is uberly popular because of the COPIUS AMOUNTS OF BISHIES. They are quite attractive looking, but since the character development was so poor, I didn't romanticize about any of them.
Yes. The characters were quite flat. Every reaction didn't have much of a background to support it. There were also quite the number of characters left to be talked about. But I guess that will be left for Vampire Knight Guilty (the second season). I don't know if I'll watch that, Yuuki certainly looks awesome in that one though.
