Shoujo girls eat boy pie
Vampire Knight 1! Half a dozen or so bishies who suck blood...muwha ha ha, lick lick.
- Studio Deen's trademark cut-corners-animation still makes it here,
+ but the design of the show and characters are still attractive.
+ Mamoru Miyano and Fukujun are in this one, too. Junichi Suwabe..too.
- Fukujun should have been Zero.
+ Opening by On/Off sounds ...like an angsty boy-love song.
+ The promise of incest and possible insanity...woot!
Quick summary ~ Day students drool over the Night students. Was Kaname in high school for 10 years? Well, using school to cover drug trafficking is a good excuse. Yuuki was saved by a vampire from a vampire when she was little. She is now some sort of guardian of the Night students along with her childhood friend, Zero, whose family was wiped out by vampires.
Quick opinion ~ The tiny bits of comedy remind me of Fruits Basket...or maybe that's because of Yui Horie or Studio Deen. *spoilers* Judging by the episode and op/ed visuals, Yuuki and Zero become one of the undead...c'mon, it's so obvious. Anyway, years and years ago, I had wished Anne Rice's vampires would be created into a manga or anime...there was a comic...a horrendously ugly one. I guess this can be a pretty substitute. I never made it through Hino Matsuri's lengthier works, but I like her artwork.
Special A 1! I also watched the first episode of Itazura no Kiss where the bottom of Class F girl falls of the aloof, arrogant No. 1 Class A guy. The anime was too old-school shoujo for me to say anything positive about it, so I skipped the usual review. Special A is about the No. 2 Class A girl who will undoubtedly fall for the arrogant No. 1 Class A guy.
- Decent animation may easily look bad if the animators are having an off-day.
- Uninspiring plot kinda made me sleepy
- Op/ed/bgm...all forgettable.
- Stereotypical cast
+ with Fukujun..who occasionally uses his Zero voice.
Quick summary ~ As stated, Hikari Hanazono wants to be No.1. She has to have sex with beat Kei Takishima to get there. They both are in the Special Ed A class at school where everyone drools at their feet.
Quick opinion ~ Couldn't make it past one volume of manga, though many people have said positive things about it. The anime doesn't seem like anything special considering what else is out this spring. Plus KareKano and Ouran Host Club made this plot and story much more funny.
and something I'm still watching...
Persona -trinity soul- 13! :( sad episode. Hopefully, he got the evil old guy...but since this is only halfway through the season...I'm thinking 'no'. boo hoo.
