{ Animes Post } Animes 2008 @ 9:04:00 PM

Yeah I got no mood to study. =.= I hate myself for being so lazy. Had a nap in the afternoon but still feel tired. @.@ I got lots of undone work. Moral Project, Art Project, Add Maths Project and BM essay. But I don't feel like doing any of them. I need REST! I am so glad there's no tuition tonight. So that I can rest more. I got tuitions on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Yeah, and I got no afternoon tuitions. XD Monday and Wednesday nights are the only nights I'm free. And to be honest, I can't study at night. Night time is the perfect time for me to relax and do stuffs I like. It's always like that. Tuitions at night had actually took a way some of my freedom. But it's good for some reason =p

Since I'm not going to study tonight, I will flood the blog, kay? LOL. Oh well, I realised I never introduce new animes here. And a lot of people had been asking me to recommend nice animes to them. So, to make things easier, I will just flood whatever is nice here, okay? ^.^

VAMPIRE KNIGHT { Started Airing at 07/04/2008 }







My Status : Watching
Genres : Drama, Romance, Supernatural
Theme : Reverse Harem ( Guys with one Girl ), Vampires
Summary :
Yuki's earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, wherein she was attacked by a vampire... And then rescued by another. Now 10 years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, has grown up and become a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her savior, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of vampires at the elite boarding school. But also at her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend who’s hatred for the creatures that destroyed everything he held dear, is now determined never to trust them. This coexisting arrangement seems all well and good, but have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions. Is Kaname's infatuation with Yuki the beginning of a forbidden romance, or is it something in her forgotten past that draws him to her. Because in this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems. And the price of misplaced trust may even be worse than death.

Ratings : 7/10
Comments :
Erm.. Well.. I heard a lot of comments that this series is totally different from the manga. =.= And the most obvious difference is, the theme. They did not show much shounen-ai genres inside the manga, but they did in the anime. HOWEVER, from my view, I did not see this as a serious matter at all. I mean, the shounen-ai is not that obvious and to me, it's more to a play-around-scene than a serious scene. It's fun to watch this series, a lot of comedy stuff in there XD
Episodes : 24
