I don’t even know where to begin to talk about this mess of an anime. Why this is such a popular anime is completely mind boggling to me. Is it because it’s trash? Is it because it’s just so much of a mess, it’s completely confusing everyone?
Essentially, this is a story revolving around a gary stu. The main character is less than mediocre, and as to why an apparently amazing vampire is in love with his ugly perverted, absolutely useless self is absolutely beyond me.
The other main character is of course a mary sue. She is loved by all, immensely powerful, confident, etc. As to why a supposedly “beautiful” and “wonderful” character would somehow hang around some sack of shit that isn’t even supposed to go to that school is bizarre. And this little girl witch is supposed to make him fall in…

This show was based a good well-written story, so you think that they could have just copied that and people would like it? Right? Nope. They swapped the story for fanservice. I would not recommend this show, however it's not impossible to watch. You can understand the story and the characters. Tsukune, our male main character, is a human who's parents accidentally sent him to a monster only school. He runs into a vampire named Moka, who is becomes his friend. It's painfully obviously that they like each other, however nothing really happens in the end. Tsukune just ends up with a harem of monster girls who save him from other monsters, leaving him feeling helpless. So he tries to become stronger (with some help of Moka's vampire blood). Most of the scenes are just people groping each othe…

Rosario+Vampire Review:
Rosario+Vampire was one of the first anime I ever watched. Due to this, I hold this show very close to my heart and may have a positively biased opinion so excuse me if it shows through. However, after revisiting the show and re-evaluating how good it actually is, I have to say that this show is perfectly "meh."
Story - 4.5/10:
One thing that I have noticed MANY people complain about with this anime, is that it basically disgraces the manga. Both the anime and the manga have the same introductory premise of a high school boy named Tsukune accidentally being enrolled in a school for monsters. During his time here, he develops his own harem consisting of various sexy monster babes with different personalities. However, while the manga grows from this premise and tur…

Having officially read the Manga a couple of days ago I pondered why I originally gave this show a 9 in the past when in all honesty it is incomparable to the manga in terms of plot, character and wait for it ~ external character design.
But nevertheless both the show and manga succeeded in their own intended ways, both were done good so to say. Removing the manga out of this discussion for the sake of the review Rosario Vampire is a episodic series following a simple plot:
Mediocre guy who couldn't pass his HS entrance exams with no special talents gets admitted and sent accidently to a a private school called Yolki academy ~ which plot twist is an academy that trains monsters to cope with blending in with the human realm. He meets a vampire named Moka. In the context of the series vamp…

Before reading this review keep in mind that I'm a guy so I probably got a little more comedic enjoyment out of this series than some people.
So I saw all the hate this series was getting so I had to write a review summarizing it. This review will also be spoiler free.
The story follows Tsukune, a human who is going to a highschool for monsters (you find this out in the first episode so it isn't a spoiler). From there the story mostly just develops into a full blown harem. There isn't much actual story or character development besides the typical boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, but there are like 4 other girls as well.
Now, you are probably wondering how I can give this series a 9 even though the story is atrocious? Well the art does help, and the voice acting isn't bad (English Du…

I absolutely adore the rosario to Vampire manga series, but the anime is so bad in my opinion it isn't even funny, they turned a fairly mild Ecchi with a lot of funny moments, some surprisingly deep and dark drama, and a cast of lovable characters that i fell in love with almost instantly, into a fan service comedy that was almost nothing but panty shots and meaningless fan service.
Story:6- The story from the manga is at least an 8 and maybe a 9, however the anime introduced some of the characters way too early, skipped some of the best parts of the manga, and turned the dramatic parts they actually kept, were ruined by more fanservice.
Art: 5- Nothing much to say on the art,not great but not horribe.
Sound:3- The ost of the anime was not that great in my opinion, however i did enjoy the…

There is dumb fun, and then there is just plain asinine. Rosario + Vampire tries hard to convince us that it is the former, it tries very hard. The show is openly aware of how stupid it can get, and happily points out how dumb it is being as its main source of comedy. Unfortunately, this is not only a flimsy source of comedy that only occasionally works, it also makes it irritatingly evident that the plotting is shoddy and the characters are one-dimensional and poorly developed; plus that the show was made to blatantly exhibition girls' cleavage. This results in a fan-service comedy that is more obnoxious than it ever is funny.
The poor idiot in the middle of this mess is Tsukune, a human who ends up going to a school for monsters through ridiculous circumstances; namely being sent there…

Rosario + Vampire is your average fan service filled harem anime with a few funny scenes and lots of ecchi.
Story: There really isn't any story besides the first episode and the last couple episodes. A human goes to a monster school by mistake and gets lots of female friends that all want his D. Every other episode besides 1, 12 and 13 are all filler and all have the same exact tone to them and the same things happen in each one. 5/10
Art: The art was pretty good. The (rare) fight scenes were done pretty well and nothing looked "bad" but it wasn't amazing quality. 7/10
Sound: The sound was okay. The opening and closings were okay and all the BGM's were okay...nothing really stood out much at all.
Character: All the characters have at least some development, but the male lead is not ver…

After watching this anime I've realized that monsters such as vampires, succubus, witches, Ice User, etc. can in fact make a funny story line. During the time I was watching this, I was constantly laughing just overall having a good time.
Some people don't like Ecchi jokes, but when you incorporate it into a funny setting then it just all seems to flow evenly. One funny situation after another.
Laughter is the best medicine!
From all the art styles that I've seen, this one has to be one of the most clean cut well drawn styles. Which is also a factor of enjoyment when watching it.
Another reason for my Rating with this anime is the characters. When watching something it is important to have balanced characters that have different personalities. There are a lot of different personalities…

Wait Guys before before being a troll and hitting the 'Not Helpful' give it a chance.
This is AMAZING............... until was adapted into an Anime :/
What fans hate the most is when they turn their favourite amazing mindblowing series to just a good anime to watch in your free time.
I watched the anime first then read the manga, I ended up crawling into a ball and asked myself
'Do adaptions like screwing you over?'
I came up with the simple answer 'YES' There are 2 people who do not enjoy this show they are:
1. Douchebags that watch ecchi and then bitch about fanservice
2. The Manga Readers (fair enough I feel for you guys)
To the people who haven't read the manga, watch it its a great romcom that will make you laugh until your onto the second season.
To the people who have read the…

Let me start off by saying that the I love the manga Rosario + Vampire, written by Akihisa Ikeda; it is an amazing story that has high re-read value and plenty of entertainment. It is an unquestionable 10/10 for me.
Rosario + Vampire, the anime adaption, on the other hand is complete garbage and remains one of the biggest fuck ups in the history of anime.
The anime version of Rosario + Vampire takes out everything good that was in the manga (the story, meaningful character relationships) and replaces it with fan service.
Gonzo basically took one of the best mangas and COMPLETELY ruined it with fan service. A little bit of fan service is okay once in a while (I don't like it though), but Rosario + Vampire bases its entire show on fan service. Gonzo basically exploited a masterpiece and…

Ever see an anime where it looks like the animator used stickers on a blue background? Well, neither had I but I guess the purpose of Rosario + Vampire is to explore interpersonal relationships.
After failing in life , some opportunistic douche makes the magic happen when he happens upon a broken super model highschool student who has been psychologically scarred by perpetually traumatic high school experiences.
Turns out this girl is a crack ho for human blood, and a relationship develops based on some truly unique dealer/ho dynamics.
Fun ensues when other girls start to wonder why this total babe is hanging all over this outrageously weak dipshit who is not only failing in his new highschool, he is notably weaker than everyone else.
Despite a truly outrageous story line, Rosario…

Okay then, where to start? How about the fact that this was made by Gonzo. Now, before you go jumping down my throat, yes, Gonzo has made some really, REALLY good series, and are still making them today. However, they also have a very long list of bad shows they've produced as well.
This is one of those bad ones.
I walked into this one having read the first two volumes of the manga and knowing fully that there was only a 50/50 chance of this series being any good. Unfortunately, my gamble didn't pay off. The first thing that bothers me is the fanservice. Yes, the manga also has copious amounts of it, but it takes a backseat to the plot. Here in the anime, the reverse is true. The show reverts to a cliched monster-of-the-week formula with no real tension in any of the situations because y…

I first read the manga to rosario+vampire. It was a wonderful to read threw it all. so when I heard it was a anime too, I hough I have to watch this....
Story:what the heck happen to 40% of the story plot? they either drag out esp. or skip entire story plot lines. these plot lines where imporant to! Like the art teacher. she was in the beging and the end too! how do you skip that? On the witches hill made my head hurt.that was also change at points that made no sense. the last of this horror story was the end. they tried to "stay with the manga" but failed! I mean if you cut out plot points it will make no sense , to bother. they wrap it up so badly if you try to think how does this make any sense at the school and what they heard about aono just does not make any sense.
art: was great! th…

Story - 6/10 (D): An average high schooler gets somehow transferred to a school full of Vampires who wear ridiculously short skirts.
Uh-huh, real inspiring plot, all right. This show should just be labeled as Yuri or Hentai. Those two categories have absolutely zero plot. Yet i gave it a six because it tried to make something out of it, i'll give it that. I can stomach the first few episodes, after that it's fanservice and more fanservice.
Art - 8/10 (B)
Well, for a really lame show, it still looks pretty, right?
Sound - 7/10 (C-)
I'll admit it, i'm hooked on Nana Mizuki's singing, including "Discotheque" for the second season. Forgive me.

"Side tracked from its original story and ended up being a half-baked series."
Before we begin, let me drill this into your mind. Fan service; Fan service; Fan service; Fan service; Fan service! That's the theme for this anime so don't start having high hopes for an amazing story or what not (at least nothing in comparison to the manga original). Rosario + Vampire, like many manga-to-anime adaptation series, made fans screamed with joy at first, but only to have their hopes and dreams shattered bit by bit as the anime progresses. It is true that the anime's story plot deviates from its origin, but it is also true that the artwork is astounding (the animation version of the characters look more attractive to me). So let us get into a deeper analysis of Rosario + Vampire.

Rosario Vampire is a typical male targeted anime filled with comedy, ecchi, and action. Typical school comedy with typical jokes associated with high school comedies. The "special" twist for this show would be that this school happens to be a school for monsters. To twist it even further, a human is accidentally accepted to the university and if he's found out he will literally be killed. Reading from the other reviews it appears that the manga had a "real story and plot." ...lets think about it for a second. How can someone take a story so serious about a boy trying to survive a monster school? Regardless, this review will be biased based on the anime and not being tied to any book.
As I was saying, this show is about a human boy accidentally being accepted at a monster school. But on h…

Rosario + Vampire the anime is the adaptation of a manga of the same name, or at least, thats what it was supposed to be.
Story: I'm trying to best not to rip this show apart but bear with me, Tsukune is your unfortunate high-school male who has just been enrolled in a school he doesnt even know when his parents found an admission pass on the ground by accident. Little does he know is that the school is for monsters than hate humans and would prob kill any on sight. It is when he meets Moka, a beautiful girl who in reality is a powerful vampire. What I just wrote was basically what you would get introduced with on the first episode, everything was cool then. As the "story" moved on, I slowly started to get irritated at the EXCESSIVE amount of panty shots this anime had. Now I enjoy fanser…

You would probably like this anime if you like comedy and real quick fighting scenes that last about 80 seconds long (most of the time) as long as you get over the fan service scenes.
I gave the story a 10 because its original and its very interesting how Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya trys to hide the fact that Tsukune is a human from Tsukune's other friends who have a crush on him.The plot is very well also.
I gave art/animation a 5 because the series have too much fan service in most of the episodes. But luckily, a few of the episodes don't have much of it (most of the fan service scenes are at the beginning of the series). Also the anime have some good fight scenes that you can see in almost every episode and the fighting scenes are really short unlike other shows.

Rosario + Vampire is a typical Shounen, Supernatural, Harem, Romantic, Comedy about an average, human, high school boy (Tsukune) who couldn’t get into any private schools and was stuck going to a school for monsters. This may sound interesting but there’s nothing particularly special about this set-up, since it is just your average school Rom/Com but with monsters. What’s more is that each episode has some very predictable outcomes that get boring fast (monster appears, Moka transforms & sucks blood). So in the end, the weak and repetitive story turned this into a series that you can only enjoy once you turn off your brain.
There’s nothing unique about the characters, seeing how it does the same old thing; by having yet another “loser-kun” male protagonist and surrounded by hot and cute g…
