Anime time: Vampire Knight
May. 1st, 2008 01:51 pmI am having two days off work this week, Thursday and Friday. Thursday is a "polling" day at Sasha's school and Friday I just took for the company as the weather seems to be nice. We are going to swimming pool this afternoon and I spent the morning watching the first 3 episodes of the new anime made from popular manga, "Vampire Knight". A very good day so far.
Oh, vampire stories and me! I don't seem to get enough of them. "Vampire Knight" is very Twilight-ish so far : an elite school where vampire students study alongside human students, a young girl (Yuki) in love with a vampire who saved her from another vampire when she was a child, her childhood friend who is not quite human himself, mysteries and secrets.
My first impressions are similar to those I had with other anime : it is a very strange genre (at least, for me). Strangeness comes from a feeling of dismatch between pretty animation graphics that take you back to childhood and themes that are very dark even by your normal adult fiction standards. There is something in "Vampire Knight" that draws me in and holds there. :D So far I want to watch more of it.
But the "wrong OTP" bug strikes again and I am already too interested in Yuki's childhood friend, Zero. He is so gorgeously drawn and the combination of pale platinum hair and lavender eyes is outwordly.
( More examples of beautifully animated Zero )
( To keep it even, Yuki's saviour Kaname Kuran )
( Things that are amusing: Saint Chocolate Day )
