The latest chapter just came out and is AWESOME (by the values of awesome through which I measure Vampire Knight), so because I'm lazy I'm C&Ping VK-chan chatlogs for my thoughts on it, and as a Kaien SOTU.
[2011-09-24 11:35:01] kaien, have you read the latest chapter?
[2011-09-24 11:35:06] no
[2011-09-24 11:35:21] I hear it's full of stupid
[2011-09-24 11:35:31] . . . WELL
[2011-09-24 11:35:45] . . . YEAH BUT IT'S NOT NEW THAT KANAME IS STUPID
[2011-09-24 11:35:49] true
[2011-09-24 11:36:11] this chapter is actually pretty well balanced between the characters. 8|a
[2011-09-24 11:42:37] omg I only just looked at the scans so far but it looks like things! actually happening! aaaah
[2011-09-24 11:43:48] yeees. PLOT IS STILL HELLA SLOW but we are moving along :V
[2011-09-24 11:43:57] yaya
[2011-09-24 11:44:01] also double comment yuuki
[2011-09-24 11:44:08] o/
[2011-09-24 11:46:54] yes this chapter is amazing~
[2011-09-24 11:47:05] I love that Yuuki called Zero on his bullshit too. XD
[2011-09-24 11:47:18] "ohhhh I get what you were--"
[2011-09-24 11:47:23] sob omg I loved her grabbing on to his sleeve too
[2011-09-24 11:47:28] NOSTALGIIIIAA
[2011-09-24 11:47:31] ;;
[2011-09-24 11:47:50] god, those two are so dumb. they are forever super protective of each other.
[2011-09-24 11:48:22] WHAT. HUNTERS WANT TO TALK TO ZERO?? I MUST PROTECT HIM WITH MY BODY!!
[2011-09-24 11:49:00] XDDD
[2011-09-24 11:49:16] Kaitou is being interesting~ too. :|a
[2011-09-24 11:49:28] and Aidou. gawd Aidou. ;;
[2011-09-24 11:49:31] DON'T DIE AIDOU
[2011-09-24 11:49:48] Aidooou. STALKING PEOPLE FOR ME, kyaa kyaa.
[2011-09-24 11:51:10] I love this! I love everything!
[2011-09-24 11:52:03] aksjdfhlkah
[2011-09-24 11:52:07] Aidou has Kaname radar
[2011-09-24 11:52:15] plot is happening! everyone is stupid but plot is happening
[2011-09-24 11:52:19] hahaha isn't it the cutest kaname
[2011-09-24 11:52:40] "Feel it! My Kaname-sama sensor! (Basically, Hanabusa thinks he should be able to sense Kaname's whereabouts)"
[2011-09-24 11:52:45] ahahaha
[2011-09-24 11:53:06] Oh but that's a flash of OLD AIDOU
[2011-09-24 11:53:11] aww
[2011-09-24 11:53:15] I love Aidou
[2011-09-24 11:55:53] dddouble back to you kaien
[2011-09-24 11:56:06] ok
[2011-09-24 11:59:29] yuuki we are the cutest father-daughter team ever
[2011-09-24 11:59:39] we totally are
[2011-09-24 15:01:34] the current chapter just makes me want EVERYONE apped more than ever
[2011-09-24 15:02:28] I dream of next app round being Aidou and all the girls
[2011-09-24 15:06:01] Aidou~
[2011-09-24 15:06:13] AIDOOOUUUUU
[2011-09-24 15:07:08] Man, Rima is talking a lot in recent chapters. AND NOT EVEN JUST TO SHIKI.
[2011-09-24 15:07:17] you need to like find a picture of Kaien prostrating himself and post something like "MY BODY IS READY, AIDOU." maybe that will help?
[2011-09-24 15:07:29] ................................................
[2011-09-24 15:07:44] omg Zero I am kicking you out of our family for that suggestion
[2011-09-24 15:08:09] jhdfsjdsf
[2011-09-24 15:08:35] ilu zero
[2011-09-24 15:08:50] I love Rima! I love that Hino is doing things with her now
[2011-09-24 15:08:54] :D
[2011-09-24 15:09:11] Zero, I'm pretty sure me doing that would just scare off any potential appers FOREVER
[2011-09-24 15:09:28] S . . . SORT OF THINGS. Well, at least she gets to exposition and prove that she is a smart cookie. :V
[2011-09-24 15:11:13] Meanwhile, I want Takuma apped just so that SOMEONE does something worthwhile with his character. 8(
[2011-09-24 15:11:17] yeah
[2011-09-24 15:11:20] also, he's pretty
[2011-09-24 15:11:24] His part in the series has been depressing me. Someone better save him soon.
[2011-09-24 15:11:35] yeah
[2011-09-24 15:11:59] summary of VK post time-skip: Everything is horrible and everyone is unhappy
[2011-09-24 15:12:18] yeah, i don't like what she's doing with Takuma. :(
[2011-09-24 15:12:38] The only happy characters are Sara and her lesbian harem.
[2011-09-24 15:12:50] he's managed to end up in the employ of the only character worse than his grandfather! horribleness!
[2011-09-24 15:12:58] hahaha oh sara and her lesbian harem
[2011-09-24 15:13:42] idddkk, I get the feeling that Hino just doesn't know what to do with over half the cast in the second arc.
[2011-09-24 15:14:08] it's true. :(
[2011-09-24 15:14:14] yeah
[2011-09-24 15:14:16] yup
[2011-09-24 15:14:28] it's not the most tightly plotted series ever...
[2011-09-24 15:14:54] I LIKE YOU HINO, but I wish she wrote things more like other series that concentrate on a main cast. "THIS CHAPTER WE FOCUS ON CHARACTER _____"
[2011-09-24 15:15:34] I enjoy it anyway. I'm only in it for the crack and the sexy vampires and the coat and boot porn. I don't need sense or the narrative to have any sort of focus or direction
[2011-09-24 15:15:47] "LETS SHOW TAKUMA FIGHTING HIS GRANDFATHER (?) AND HAVING ISSUES AND OVERCOMING THEM AND HIM"
[2011-09-24 15:16:04] It's just so depressing
[2011-09-24 15:16:05] ^Things I wish happened
[2011-09-24 15:16:22] HA HA SOB kaname I would have killed for that
[2011-09-24 15:16:33] I think the moral is EVERYONE FAILS
[2011-09-24 15:16:56] TAKUMA HAS LIKE THE COOLEST POWER EVER??? AND HAS A BADASS SWORD?
[2011-09-24 15:16:58] Or, like, HEY. A POV FROM YORI as students forgot all the things and her seat in class was empty.
[2011-09-24 15:17:02] aaand we never get to see it and that is lame
[2011-09-24 15:17:11] *the seat next to her was empty
[2011-09-24 15:17:18] . . . :'(
[2011-09-24 15:17:24] God yeah 8(
[2011-09-24 15:17:42] All these character bits that could have been fleshed out.
[2011-09-24 15:18:27] Could be worse! At least it's not Bleach!
[2011-09-24 15:18:30] I want her to do all the side stories. SCREW THE PLOT just give me like three volumes of side story chapters and omakes I would be cool with that
[2011-09-24 15:18:36] yeah that would be cool
[2011-09-24 15:18:54] she does better with those
[2011-09-24 15:18:55] sidestories and adorable backstory hijinks
[2011-09-24 15:19:12] cross family derp!
[2011-09-24 15:19:37] I would love side stories!
[2011-09-24 15:20:32] if the whole series was just yuuki and kaien being ridiculous and tormenting zero with their ridiculousness, I would be happy
[2011-09-24 15:20:52] hahaha
[2011-09-24 15:22:09] man, I want to know about Yori's fiancee and Seiren's backstory and all of the Cross/Juuri/Haruka stories and teeny!Kaname's trolled life in the Ichijou house with Takuma.
[2011-09-24 15:22:12] that and schoolgirl hijinks
[2011-09-24 15:22:18] yes yes yes all that
[2011-09-24 15:22:32] I want to know ANYTHING ABOUT SEIREN AT ALL please and thank you
[2011-09-24 15:22:44] I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER GET THESE THINGS and that makes me saaaad
[2011-09-24 15:23:40] OH YEAH
[2011-09-24 15:23:41] SEIREN
[2011-09-24 15:23:56] INSTEAD OF BEING A NINJA VAMPIRE FACE THAT IS JUST THERE
[2011-09-24 15:24:08] one of the few good points of the anime is that it lets Seiren do more things
[2011-09-24 15:24:27] I have a vague memory of that
[2011-09-24 15:24:34] I STILL THINK SHE WAS THE HUMAN KANAME TURNED teeeell me Hino
[2011-09-24 15:24:39] yes
[2011-09-24 15:24:43] tell ussssss
[2011-09-24 15:25:16] yes!
[2011-09-24 15:25:17] I'd like a side story on that too
[2011-09-24 15:25:18] or fic
[2011-09-24 15:25:29] Seiren is pretty awesome
[2011-09-24 15:25:33] I'd love it if the fandom could write decent fic on anyone
[2011-09-24 15:25:36] Because I'm just picturing Kaname that one time where he's like
[2011-09-24 15:25:37] like idk. How was Yuuki never asked this. You are a sucky heroine, Yuuki. ASK MORE QUESTIONS, DAMN YOU
[2011-09-24 15:25:47] * Kaname GUZZLES PILLS SO AS NOT TO KILL THE HUMANS WHO WANT TO BE VAMPIRES
[2011-09-24 15:26:02] lol the timeline-bending
[2011-09-24 15:26:06] * Kaname but then lol kills them :B
[2011-09-24 15:26:31] . . . o-oniisama
[2011-09-24 15:26:32] I find Yuuki's derp endearing
[2011-09-24 15:26:42] sob
[2011-09-24 15:27:07] OBVIOUSLY I DO TOO but it is frustrating sometimes 8(
[2011-09-24 15:27:13] yeah
[2011-09-24 15:27:48] but even when she asks questions everyone's like NOPE CAN'T DO THAT no answers for you!
[2011-09-24 15:28:25] yeah, growing up with Kaien and Kaname and Zero . . . she probably just lost the will after a while . . .
[2011-09-24 15:28:35] yeah
[2011-09-24 15:28:41] sobbb.
[2011-09-24 15:28:48] o9""
[2011-09-24 15:28:55] the men in your life are terrible!
[2011-09-24 15:29:06] it's so true
[2011-09-24 15:30:16] XDDDD
[2011-09-24 15:30:21] that's the best explanation
[2011-09-24 15:30:31] it is
[2011-09-24 15:52:11] no, Kaien, you actually got answers
[2011-09-24 15:52:17] oh I did. huh
[2011-09-24 15:52:49] yes, I told you about Yagari and Ichiru. :(
[2011-09-24 15:53:00] I already knew Yagari came, doesn't count
[2011-09-24 15:53:17] I told you about Ichiru. >>
[2011-09-24 15:53:29] that's true
[2011-09-24 15:53:42] * Zero has told nobody about other!Yuuki. NEVER WILL
[2011-09-24 15:53:46] haha
[2011-09-24 15:53:58] haha :')
[2011-09-24 15:55:37] honestly, zero told cross about ichiru and his thoughts went "--dead people can come here?!?" and everything in his brain halted while he tried not to hope for too much. he didn't pay too much attention after that point
[2011-09-24 15:55:56] . . . dad did we forget to mention that part
[2011-09-24 15:55:57] awwww. ;;
[2011-09-24 15:56:13] Kaien wants his OT3. ;;
[2011-09-24 15:56:45] Haruka and Juuri would love an awkward scrapbooking party. 8(
[2011-09-24 15:57:12] =-= Zero is now known as White^Lily
[2011-09-24 15:57:17] they would omg
[2011-09-24 15:57:28] yuuki, you and zero forgot to mention almost everything
[2011-09-24 15:57:55] I'M NOT THE RELIABLE ONE
[2011-09-24 15:58:03] THAT'S ZERO AND KANAME IF YOU WANT INFO
[2011-09-24 15:58:20] I took care of ponies that was my contribution '-'
[2011-09-24 15:58:57] best contribution
[2011-09-24 15:59:00] it's fine, I told you almost nothing for 16 years
[2011-09-24 15:59:21] it's true
[2011-09-24 15:59:26] I owe you nothing
[2011-09-24 15:59:34] sob
[2011-09-24 15:59:36] no info for dad everrr
[2011-09-24 15:59:58] one day I will learn not to keep secrets. maybe.
[2011-09-24 16:00:08] I don't believe you
[2011-09-24 16:00:15] I don't believe me either
[2011-09-24 16:00:16] * White^Lily lols
[2011-09-24 16:00:38] WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURE WITH KANAME
[2011-09-24 16:00:44] pretty sure Kaien's not going to tell darling Yuuki about fighting with Kaname either
[2011-09-24 16:00:49] HAHAHA GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE
[2011-09-24 16:01:11] father/daughter team yeah!! o7
[2011-09-24 17:16:25] way to state the obvious zero
[2011-09-24 17:16:44] ...this is yet another way we are alike
[2011-09-24 17:18:02] then again, who in
[2011-09-24 17:18:06] Vampire Knight isn't a masochist
[2011-09-24 17:25:22] . . . 8|a . . .
[2011-09-24 17:28:49] ... Yori?
[2011-09-24 17:29:18] yeah, that's pretty much it
[2011-09-24 17:30:12] being masochists might be the only way these characters can keep going on through this series . . .
[2011-09-24 17:30:50] pretty much
[2011-09-24 17:31:24] Only Happy When It Rains is pretty much my VK theme song
[2011-09-24 17:32:00] sob
[2011-09-24 17:35:35] WE ARE FUNCTIIONAL
[2011-09-24 17:38:18] THE MOST FUNCTIONAL
[2011-09-24 17:43:26] Kaien is like 10 billion times happier in camp
[2011-09-24 17:44:18] Awww
[2011-09-24 17:45:05] He has Yuuki and Zero and he doesn't have to be in the Hunter Home of Eternal Misery and Woe
[2011-09-24 17:46:58] Yuuki goes back and forth . . . but lolo, she doesn't know that being stuck in camp is what's stopping Kaname from dumping her and going genocidal, so!
[2011-09-24 17:47:02] :')
[2011-09-24 17:47:04] hahaha
[2011-09-24 17:47:35] haha . . . o yuuki's life . . .
[2011-09-24 17:51:19] our lives in canon really blow
[2011-09-24 17:52:24] yyyup 8(
[2011-09-24 17:52:43] why are all my living friends shitty, and all your love interests really crazy
[2011-09-24 17:55:14] all my non-sucky friends are DEAD!!!1!
[2011-09-24 17:55:23] idddk. You clearly failed when you let me fall in love with Kaname as a little kid when you knew he was nuts and wanted to die for me.
[2011-09-24 17:55:57] I failed at a lot of things
[2011-09-24 17:56:26] YAGARI REALLY IS BEING A CRAPPY BRO RIGHT NOW
[2011-09-24 17:56:43] HE IS A SHITTY FRIEND
[2011-09-24 17:56:52] yeahhh. :(
[2011-09-24 17:57:04] and then my trollolo brofriend made you murder someone for him
[2011-09-24 17:57:07] because he's a dick
[2011-09-24 17:57:13] KANAME YOU ASSHOLE
[2011-09-24 17:57:30] and then Isaya just watching LIKE A DOUCHE
[2011-09-24 17:57:32] everyone sucks!
[2011-09-24 17:57:37] I THINK YOU WIN THIS CHAPTER, KAIEN
[2011-09-24 17:57:41] I really do
[2011-09-24 17:57:41] YOU WIN!!
[2011-09-24 17:57:51] I DON'T WANT TO WIN ANYMORE!!
[2011-09-24 17:57:55] what is Yagari's deal? :(
[2011-09-24 17:58:47] he's just full of vampire hate and suck
[2011-09-24 17:59:47] Zero's not exactly sticking up for Kaien either. 8(
[2011-09-24 18:00:06] We already knew Zero was a dick
[2011-09-24 18:00:13] Hunters are JEEERKKKKS.
[2011-09-24 18:00:16] yeah I want purebloods DEAD
[2011-09-24 18:00:25] or so I will ocntinue to say
[2011-09-24 18:00:39] because I cannot communicate like an adjusted person. >>
[2011-09-24 18:00:44] even though you LOVE YUUKI AND WANT TO DRAW SPARKLY HEARTS AROUND HER
[2011-09-24 18:00:52] jgfdkjgXDDD
[2011-09-24 18:01:14] SHUT UP
[2011-09-24 18:01:25] -->| Kaname[brb] has joined #campsuckudie
[2011-09-24 18:01:36] hello Kaname, we were just talking about how much Kaname sucks
[2011-09-24 18:01:54] you know, Kaname's plan really seems to be about making all of ZERO's dreams come true instead of Yuuki's
[2011-09-24 18:01:56] Oh. Please continue.
[2011-09-24 18:01:58] =-= Kaname[brb] is now known as Kaname
[2011-09-24 18:02:05] . . . maybe Sagakure has a point after all . . .
[2011-09-24 18:02:12] . . . maybe . . .
[2011-09-24 18:02:27] Oh the same side of the chess board, once again
[2011-09-24 18:03:29] ... whut?
[2011-09-24 18:04:08] hey, I just want to die
[2011-09-24 18:04:16] I'm not a part of this crazy. <<
[2011-09-24 18:05:16] But if you die, the part of Ichiru inside of you dies.
[2011-09-24 18:05:17] you wouldn't like it if all the purebloods died including Kaname but Yuuki was turned human? YOU CAN STILL DIE AFTER THAT YOU KNOW
[2011-09-24 18:06:15] I guess that's acceptable...
[2011-09-24 18:10:06] as long as DYING is still part of the scenario
[2011-09-24 18:11:14] you both keep trying to leave me
[2011-09-24 18:11:59] rest assured father will always be there for you, like the giant possessive creep he is <3
[2011-09-24 18:12:32] ...
[2011-09-24 18:12:59] . . . and we come back to Yori and Aidou being the only ones who try to stay by my side and HAVEN'T LIED TO ME MY WHOLE LIFE
