Honestly, I rate this anime with high regards despite the hate comments from the majority of the fandom. The vibes completely matches the essence and beauty of vampires and cannot be beaten when it comes to "guilty pleasure". The difference between "vampire knight" made around 2008 and the vampire related animes in current time has yet to beat for comparisons.
If your new and are interested into watching the anime/manga but heard plenty from your surroundings of not to watch this "incestral wasted potential anime". Decide for yourself, not through the rocks thrown by others towards you.
Personally, I've been in this fandom for a good amount of years to say I STILL go back from time to time to re-watch/reread the anime/manga to the point of it becoming an addiction. But there was NEVER a…

Where do I begin? This anime has too high of a score is a place to start, don't get me wrong, rate it high for all I care, but I'll give it my piece of mind. As a girl, that enjoys seeing pretty boys and vampires, I would rate this higher, but as an anime fan, I can't bring myself to do it, story is outter garbage a 2 for me, it gets confusing and is dreadfully boring, even worse than season one, art is decent and it's the only decent thing about this anime, sound trash, voice actors bad, characters even worse (except my boy Zero, he was the only one half decent) and Yuki is so annoying she almost made me suicidal, first of all, what's with incest in this anime and it being okey? If anything manga is ten times better than this anime, they basically made 2 pretty boys vampires, one obnoxiou…

I ask you not to read this review if you have not seen the whole anime. Understand? Understood.
Ok, then, Holy Mary, this anime has been a pile of cheap psychological rubbish. Let's start with Yuuki who always finds a way to faint and to apologize every time. Seriously, this girl is not repetitive, it's a broken record. I realized that Yuuki has to do stupid things so that she can be more submissive than the two guys who want her for them. This girl is a lost case and I am sorry to have to say it but she cannot understand that Kaname knows more about the devil and every time she tries to rebel against that fool, then she comes out with a: "I'm sorry, Kaname-sama!"
I mean, come on! But how can you make a female character so bad? Let's not talk about the fact that Zero becomes Kaname's bit…

Vampire Knight Guilty is the second season of the series Vampire Knight. In the second season, the show is again really how much potential lies in it. Again, there are again many funny, sad, thoughtful, cheerful moments. In general, one is confronted with a lot of feelings for Vampire Knight. As an example, you can watch Yuki. She feels deep sympathy for Kaname, but do not know how to deal with it. Zero acts for them as if he was jealous. In order not to hurt the two, Yuki Kaname goes out of the way and tried to treat him normal. I recommend it further, that if you've seen the first season, starts directly with the second, because if you do not, could the boarding bit hard werden.Unter else I like about the anime so that he, too many scenes from the past shows and explains, this would expl…

I began watching the first season, and didn't think the story was very good in the first place--I never really knew what was going on, and overall it kinda sucked. But that is nothing compared to the second season, Vampire Knight Guilty.
I must say, I expected this to get better, but it actually got appallingly worse. I tried to be fair with it, but when I look at it overall, it was just awful. The story barely made sense, the characters didn't have any development, and even if they did, it was really difficult to notice. It seems the creators got lost in trying to create something ambiguous, and 'cool' and misplaced the actual plot.
All of the minor characters seemed to want bigger parts, but, (for some reason) couldn't seem to 'budge their way in' going by the strange relationship with…

Usually 2nd season is worse than the 1st one. However, this does not apply to Vampire Knight Guilty. Almost in every category VKG was better than VK. The only thing I liked more in 1st season was OST. Music was good in VKG too, but not as fitting the mood of the story as the VK one.
What was 1st season lacking the most, was not enough character introduction in my opinion. I was rather disappointed that only Zero's past was showed and explained while Kaname's and Yuuki's was left unknown. After watching VKG I can understand why didn't show their past in VK. It does make sense and it was a good decision.
So yeah, we finally got to see their pasts, which also lead to see some better character development as well. If Yuuki was rather annoying and useless in VK, then in VKG she changed almos…

You've read the synopsis, the story basically revolves around the main heroine, Cross Yuki; however, I think damsel is a far more fitting title.
So what I really think? Pure quintessential BS.
Seriously.
It's so cliché and over melodramatic that it's practically excreting out hearts and tears.
While it might sound harsh I can only be just that: truthfully, bluntly, harsh. However does it mean that I hate it? Well, no.
It’s a cliché and corny romance involving vampires and humans. You have the fluff, the love triangle and the forbidden love. Nothing really new. Simplistic plot pumped on melodramatic steroids with cheesy characters and bishi love interests. Pretty to look at and easy to follow along.
The main protagonist Yuki can be quite unlikeable; she’s childish and selfish. Gasping…

Be forewarned, spoilers ahead.
I was wary of watching VK when I'd first heard of it. The vampire genre is often riddled with cliches and bad writing, especially concerning the teenage demographic where, in most cases, is just a bodice ripper. But I'm willing to give anything a shot.
I started out liking VK, but when I got to VKG that started to change. The love triangle that started out as being unpredictable soon became blatantly obvious. The unexpected twist of Yuuki not only being a vampire who hadn't "awakened" yet, but was also was related to Kaname completely ruined it for me. It's like they exchanged taboos - the forbidden vampire/human love becomes the forbidden vampire incest love. Like somehow it wouldn't be appealing if there weren't some sort of taboo involved.

Having recovered from the injuries he had sustained, Zero returns to Cross Academy to resume his role as prefect. Though, not long after he resumes his role, members of the Supreme Vampire Council ambush Zero with the intent to execute him for the murder of the pureblood, Shizuka. Luckily when Kaname intervenes, he sends the council away and insists that they stay out of school affairs. However, whilst Kaname continues to hide the truth about Shizuka's death, there are others who grow suspicious of what happened that night and what the dorm president is hiding. Meanwhile, Yuuki begins to have flashbacks, leading her to investigate her blood-stained past: what will she find, and will she continue to be tempted by an offer from Kaname?
Now on to the review and I hope you and enjoy reading t…

Vampire Knight: Guilty is the sequel of Vampire Knight.
Somehow the story focuses more on Yuki and Kaname's past and how Zero struggles into turning a Level-E vampire. Yuki finally becomes a vampire and it is reveal that Kaname and Yuki are siblings.Rido Kuran shows up in this story and is the main antagonist for this season.
Somehow the art is Amazing as ever! You can feel the not-so-typical shoujo atmosphere in it. And somehow, The art reminds me of Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru. Yuki becomes more mature and you can see her resemblance to her beautiful mother Juri.
The story left as a cliffhanger in the end and I totally don't like it that much...If you don't like the ending I recommend you to read manga for better unerstanding!
The characters didn't annoy me at all in fact a…

Allow me to begin by admitting that I thoroughly enjoyed Vampire Knight Guilty and its predecessor. In admitting this, I am also saying that my rating is incredibly biased.
I was on the hedge when it came to Vampire Knight Guilty, more so than I was with the original series. Most of us can agree that sequels rarely live up to the original. In many cases, the original series is meant to establish characters, relations, and a foundation for the overarching plot. Sequels, then, are supposed to consist of the meat of the story. They are supposed to clear up all issues, ties up loose ends, and leave the viewer satisfied at the end of the day. Unfortunately, this concept isn't always followed. Instead, a number of sequels are made to continue sucking revenue out of an already popular show.

to describe this season in 1 word it would be, disapointing,
what really made the first season work for me was it had some amazing suspense, great cliffhangers and had a lot of twists, and even for how steriotypicaly emo zero was they handles him very well and he came off like a selfless teen that was willing to let him suffer and even die a slow painful death if he had to, to save yuuki or his father and even just people in general, and his hatred for vampires and yet him being one realy built up his charecter, why am i mentioning this, well i mentioning it cause zero is hardly even in the second season, and heres where the show starts to take a sudden downturn
this seaosn focused very much on kaname and yuuki, and befor ei go off i have to mention this, this show has the absoulte WORST…

Vampire Knight : Guilty is one of those series that makes me want to stop watching deep animes and stick to silly romance animes where the ending is always happy. The first season was awesome, but the part 2 was a let down.
[spoilers]
What is the point for the ending? The ENTIRE series revolved around a certain goal. The school, the teachers, the bonds, the story itself had the same goal. Yet with the ending given, It completely makes no sense. 10 hours of episodes spent focusing on one goal, co-existence amongst all groups, yet zero's actions at the end doesn't do anything for that goal.
The entire series filled me with a sense of suspense and anticipation on what was to come. Could have been rated really high, but IMO the ending destroyed EVERYTHING that the series worked for.

I was so excited when I learned they had made a second season but was greatly disappointed when I watched it. It varies from the manga too far. They fail to introduce an important character, that triggers a major scene with Yuki having to finally confront her feelings.
Plus if you were looking forward to the big battle with the big bad uncle, prepare yourself, it bit! It was over in 2.5 seconds and Kaname is the major player instead of Yuki! It was total garbage and I wish they had just waited for the manga so the full 13 episodes could have been exact. Course that doesn't explain the earlier change to me.
IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T TRY TO FIX IT!

Story
Better than season 1, but still dismal. I liked Yuki's post-traumatic stress behavior, which was the reason I gave this season a try. It was a relief having her emotions at the forefront, instead of the previous season where she was constantly consoling the suicidal Zero. I usually enjoy heroines in torment, but they didn't do much with it. She continued obsessing over Zero and repeating the phrase, "I cannot hurt Zero any more than this" in her monotonous internal dialogues. She also kept on chasing after Kaname, begging him to tell her about her past. This dragged on WAY too long. I can take only so many scenes of Yuki crying and pounding her fists against his chest while he goes, "Yuuki," in his sad voice. Unlike season 1, there was some buildup to the final events, the villain wa…

*SPOILER WARNING*
What started out as a very good continuation of season one, and loyal companion to the manga (which I am sad to say, I did not know, too the exact same turn as transcribed here) ended up being a major disappointment in the way of a Shoujo anime. I don't normally affiliate with the genre, and this series reminded me why. The abrupt ending of Zero's affection for Yuuki given the circumstances involving her having been a pure blood vampire this entire time was nothing short of a kick in the teeth. To watch 26 full episodes of them going back and forth with each other in one of the most twisted and abusive love triangles I have ever seen, only to find in the end because Yuuki was never who Zero thought she was he can no longer love her?
Admittedly there is some bias to my wor…

I really got into this anime, loved the characters and the world created, but all hopes and dreams smashed with the ending! I don't need a happy skipping into the sunset ending, but after seeing this anime I was not only disappointed but scratching my head (spoiler: A school for human vampire coexistence, but neither interacts with the other nor even knows they are vampires, AND Zero goes through this whole experience just to decide to kill all the vampires???).
My hope is that the love story is completely dropped (even though the scythe weapon of Yuki's is really cool) and Zero gets his own anime and manga, because the Bloody Rose gun is an awesome weapon and he's got a great background for his future of hunting down vampires. I wish that this anime was only included as flashbacks for Z…

First and foremost, I write from the perspective of a dissatisfied audience of Vampire Knight Guilty. It was due to my positive opinion of Vampire Knight that led to me to Vampire Knight Guilty and hence my judgement cannot make dichotomies of the two (so I hope you don't mind me making reference to Vampire Knight).
As you'll probably know, VKG continues right where VK left off, retaining much of VK's good qualities at first. The characters from VK/VKG are very well-built and generally three-dimensional enough for me as an audience to relate to and hence enjoy, with the exception of Kaname-kun, who was so perfect in his prestige, power and popularity that there was no room for him to be anything but an admirable and incomprehensible figure.
The artwork itself was generally quite well-don…

NOTE: I have not read the manga so my view on this anime may differ slighlty from those who have.
Vampire knight guilty is a continuation of the original series Vampire Knight. The series is set in a school that caters to both vampires and humans that are separated into the night and day classes respectively. The story revolves around a girl whose first memories she can remember is being attacked by a vampire and being saved by a pureblood vampire which is the highest rank. She starts to harbour feelings for both her good friend and vampire hunter Zero as well as the pureblood who saved her which is currently in the school.
I think the story was quite original from the usual vampires and stuff. Incorporating the shuojo genre very well. That is probably the main genre of ths series. Coupl…

[No Spoilers at all]
Vampire Knight Guilty is a continuation of the anime Vampire Knight, and that is all it is. It is not its own series, and it is rather unwatchable without watching the primary series.
As for the anime itself, it is absolutely one of the superior ones out there. The plot is exceptional and it has an inimitable outlook on vampires. Each episode ends with a cliffhanger making you fancy to gaze at the next one in the series without delay. Although there is awfully minute action, the drama is what keeps you going, so if you want an adventure shounen where the main character progresses physically, go off and watch cartoon network.
