Holy Knight is a very underwhelming OVA with some distant glimmers of interest that it doesn't capitalize on. It's weird, because while it is your bog-standard ecchi OVA, it still feels like it at least wanted to be different in some way. Beginning with the story, we're presented with this thin excuse of a backstory, complete with a vampire clan and a chosen one prophecy, which conveniently involves sleeping with the protagonist. It's all very sloppy and generic and isn't what anybody's watching Holy Knight for in the first place anyway. I did find the random overuse of acronyms by one of the vampire hunter guys kind of funny in an absurdist way, and Cammot was also a humorous addition in a similar fashion, but all in all it's still just uninspired slop. It exists to bring the vampire girl…

SPOILERLESS REVIEW
This show is short, very short, so my review won't be too long.
Holy Knight in one sentence: Rushed and wasted potential.
STORY: 4/10
As for story - It is nothing amazing, its bad and rushed, but hey !, there is no way to properly cover a lot of story in 2 episodes 26 minutes each long. It is all about semi-vampire girl - Kishimoto that want to fuck young "handsome" student - Shinta because that was her "fate". Apparently this boy have some powers too. Shockingly, after I watched 2 episodes I was kinda sad, because I really think that the story could go in great way and deliver amazing experience for the viewer, sadly it just ended after 2 eps with the "MEH????" ending.
ART: 7/10
Art is the strongest part of the show (exposed boobies huhuhu), but nothing special,…

I decided to watch this because after about five chapters I got too lazy to read the manga, which is pretty bad since there's only 16 chapters and they aren't very long. I'm not gonna say I should've stuck with the manga because I doubt it would have been better, but I really wish I didn't waste 40 minutes by watching this. I guess it could have been a decent story, highly unlikely, if it was more than two episodes. But only being two episodes the story ends up being complete shit because you don't get an actual fucking ending. The only thing that was average was the animation, but even that isn't enough for me to tell someone "hey if your ever really really bored, why don't you check this out you might not hate yourself for wasting your time on it" I really wish you could give this giant…

I decided to give this series a shot because a few voice actors whose work I enjoy were involved. For the record; I haven't read the manga, or seen the original sub, nor am I a fan of ecchi. That said, I couldn't imagine recommending this series to anyone who is.
The story of Holy Knight is standard fare. An emotionally distant and duty-driven girl is compelled to sleep with an awkward, nervous boy, himself given a task he's not yet aware of. Said boy is best friends with a jealous, possessive girl, who is overflowing with one-sided affection for the boy. All of the (of age) girls have massive tits. If you're expecting any twists, you might find one, but it's revealed so late in the game that it can only be hinted at. The whole OVA is about as eventful as a standard series pilot.

Looking for something mindless? Yes, here's Holy Knight. "It's ooo-kay!"
Story, 6 -Fair
I found the story satisfying. Not at all challenging to follow, but entertaining enough to keep you going through two simple episodes. I wouldn't say this is a series to get real invested in, more like a casual show that I'll forget about soon. It moves at a reasonable pace for two episodes. The plot doesn't stall unnecessarily. The script is decent, though some of the lines made me feel vaguely uncomfortable. It leaves off with room for more episodes, but, for me, with enough of a conclusion to be content with not watching any more.
Art, 6 -Fair
The characters all have distinctive designs. I enjoyed the animation, and found it bright and fluid and energetic. None of the actions are awkward, though…

The story is fairly short, only OVA of 2 episodes so it won't be a long review. I prefer writing shorter reviews anyway, since I hate reading 13 pages long essays of some conceited person hairsplitting every single unimportant point.
I came across the anime like any other person does, that is, on teh inturwebs.
I was disappointed it was only an OVA of 2 episodes, not a real deal.
A good intro setting the mood and catching attention of viewer and what I always like seeing, a hint of forbidden romance, which especially makes it intriguing. The story doesn't end but the makers haven't produced more episodes.
Unfortunately, that's about it (without spoilers). If you like romance, definitely recommended. It has some ecchi, but nothing preposterous. They really ought to make a 12 episode long…

very bad, for my the ending was like was that fk ending. they should've made anime out of this, why because they only have ova and the manga, but i am not person that read manga's.. also the ending was just bad.

I was quite disappointed. I mean I haven't read the whole Manga, but I started it, and so I finally got around to saying, "I should watch this 2 episode OVA". Disappointed.
First of all, I got a little bit of understanding as to the background of the story. The intro to this OVA is something i did not see in the Manga. From there, EVERYTHING is rushed. Characters are barely introduced. The two main characters are confusing because they just suddenly meet, and there is no explanation as to if one is a hero, an anti-hero, or are they just both confused.
The guys childhood friend just comes off as a stupid girl. I mean, she comes off as having a problem in the Manga, but the Anime just made her annoying, and not so much serious. Also, of the things they didn't censor, it's a wonder why they…

Holy Knight, a very short lived OVA too short in my opinion. While watching this i could only think this needs at least a part 3 but the series is already done for OVA at least.
The first episode opens a whole box of questions that are never answered. A lot of terms are thrown around the viewer has no way to know except for general perception. So this show is very vague and mysterious all around. You will end this episode saying episode two better open up some answers.
Episode 2 continues to disappoint you tho. It opens up a handful of more unanswered question while answering very few of the past episodes. The fact that the main character is a vampire even is never really stated just kinda implied. I don't mind that they trust the audience to just kinda know but the fact they are vampire…

***SPOILERS***
The plot. It's about some vampire girl who is being hunted by some kind of organisation( wasn't really explained why, maybe because she's a vampire) and she wants to have kids from guy-protagonist ( isn't explained either why she wants it).
In the beginning plot doesn't make any sense, actually the plot doesn't make any sense at all. I understand that it's pretty hard to explain a decent plot in 60 minutes. I mean they could at least try to do it, but they didn't. The plot has so many holes in it. As an example, It's like you are watching an anime from 10th episode and there is only one episode left. After you have watched last one, everything doesn't make any sense. I guess they tried to make something out of nothing. The story is really corny.
Briefly, plot sucks. That…

"Haste makes waste," "Ether you do it right or don't do it at all." That's the kind of philosopy that well deserves this 2 ep OVA. IMAO, this OVA has a good plot and has a potential to be a good 12 episode anime, alas co'z it is just limited only to 2, the author has obviously made a lot of corner cutting, then again the story still deseves a "Good" 7. The art.........hummm, I'll give it an "Outstanding" 10, since I like the way the illustrator did with the characters, and the fanservice that goes with it.
Sound: Poor 3.
No comment.
Character: Decent 4.
That's because there isn't much about to know the charcters that well, in fact deatils about them are sooooo limited that there are more questions than answers as to what they truly are. However the roles that Kisimoto and Shita played…

This Anime, OVA, you know what i mean is just okay it does not follow the manga's approach to hentai but it does relay the same story. It is sort of like just a quick way to introduce the main story and thats all everything else is in the manga but everything pans out much slower due to the fact it isnt 2 chapters like the OVA's 2 episodes. overall it is okay but its not very important my sugestion is if you think it sounds cool read the manga but be prepared for many sexual drawings.
^^PEACE^^

This OVA tries to put a fresh spin on the old vampire anime type. It could have been great™ if it was expanded into a 13 ep series, however it seems it was mostly a marketing ploy to get more audience into the manga.
Story: 7
You will see your usual cliches: sole survivor of some ancient clan, Romeo-Juliette type of romance, the classic childhood friends who develops a romantic feeling twords the main char and a bit of love triangle, etc, etc.
That said, the story is well blended and there are hints about several possible interesting development angles, which (most likely) will be expanded in the manga.
A few things prevent me from giving a higher score:
- the story is unfinished (for obvious financial reasons)
-the author slaps in some Romanian folklore terminology to tie some story loo…

"This cursed fate of mine, is a stigma that can't be erased."
At first, I wasn't 100% sure keen on whether to check out this short OVA or not. After all, it is tagged ecchi on MAL and based off a manga. Of course, OVA adapted from manga can sometimes be a flop and goes straight to hell. Some examples (whether you agree or not) includes Hiyoki, Honey x Honey, and Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu. These popular manga that have the potential of becoming a hit series instead became disappointing OVAs that were not appealing. But is this the case for Holy Knight? Hmm, let's put out our heads together and find out.
Holy Knight is a short OVA series consisting of only 2 episodes. Yes, with less than an hour of animation footage, don't expect a strong storyline. Given the fact that Maya Miyazaki is the s…
