- Vampire Knight Guilty -
Not as good as the first season in my opinion, but still worth a watch nontheless. The reason for that is mostly the characters. The curiosity of knowing more of their backstories and their personalities, and of course watching the mystery finally unfold! But in that section I felt like the story could be way better. The main antagonist wasn't at all formidable for me, and the ending of the storyline was anticlimactic and for some downright unsatisfying and confusing. It seemed to raise more questions and uncertainty than answers. And this being the last season of anime adaptation didn't help at all.
Despite that, this season had some of my favorite moments, and I recommend it to the people who loved the first season. As in the first season review, I continue t…

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…

What a change!
The art is better for starters. The art from the last season was just eh, but this season picks it up. However, I don't know what they did to get it this good. I liked the art style more.
The character development is better too. No more questions! Yay! However, there's kinda a cliffhanger, but they haven't picked it up for another season unfortunately. I'd like to see them at least try to pick it up where it left off, and I know my friend does too. Although it probably won't happen because of the time.
The voice acting has changed too, no more no emotions, because this season, it has more crying and less emotionless voices! It's better basically...
The story is kinda weird. There's incest... Yeah, that's what they did, incest... I don't know if I like it or not, but…

(SPOILERS) The second season of Vampire Knight, was well better than the first season at least. The characters never really developed besides the main two Yuki and Zero becoming full vampires. Well Yuki becomes a pure blood vampire. I didn't hate watching it. It was actually pretty enjoyable but just wasn't one to go back and rewatch. At the end of the season I felt very empty and lost a little due to the whole show developing Yuki and Zero's relationship. Which in the end they don't even end up together but as enemies. I just can't find this a suitable option for the ending of the show. Besides the horrible ending, I loved the art, it was one of the best parts of the show. The art style is more of the early 2000's art. It definitely has a acquired taste. The sound was good but I don't kno…

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…

Vampire Knight: Guilty is gayer, edgier and more annoying than the first season. All of the failures of the first season are just as bad and sometimes worse. There is not even a cool opening song. There is nothing good or redeeming about this mess of a show. It made me hate vampire stories more than I did before. After watching this evil and satanic show I had to pray to feel better. I felt as though everything in this show was the author's fetishes projected onto her self insert character and her ideal romantic interests. But there is nothing romantic about evil, blood-sucking creatures which will make you become one of them if you're not careful.
I despise the Vampire Knight story. There aren't even any knights.

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…

I thought the first series was pretty bad, but tolerable. The first half of this series was so bad that I wished I hadn't even watched any of it. I managed to push through to the big reveal (no spoilers in this review, sorry guys!), which managed to interest me enough to keep going. After all, the only reason I kept watching this in the first place was because of Zero, who I love for a myriad of reasons, even if he isn't written all that well. More on that in the character section.
To begin with, the story: Vampire Knight Guilty was a direct continuation of the first series, Vampire Knight, though it was a pretty bad sequel in my opinion. The plot was bland and slow and nobody's motivations or goals were correctly explained. What were supposed to be plot twists just ended up confusing me…

Vampire Knight: Guilty is the continuation of Vampire Knight that picks up the story right where it left off, adding another 13 episodes of content to the anime. At least in my opinion Vampire Knight: Guilty is worse than Vampire knight and you really shouldn’t watch it, but on the off chance you are going to there may be some spoilers in this review. Now that that’s out of the way let's get into this.
Story:
The story isn’t that bad per se, it’s just the way it’s executed that makes it seem bad. Things like the use of incest about half way through the anime and then the attempt to justify it make the story cringy at times. Pair that up with dry voice acting and this destroys what is a pretty good idea for an anime.
Art:
The art work in this anime feels kinda like Code Geass but a lot l…

Right away I can say that Zero was a lot more annoying in this season. He was obnoxious and not the Zero I knew and loved from the first season. His caring nature was changed into one more distant and I really didn't enjoy that at all.
The plot was just as good as the last season with the same amount of comedy and action. However, what really made me mad was the "big reveal" that showed who Yuuki really was. I was taken aback at first when these news were released, but nevertheless, I got over myself and continued watching the show.
The ending was one of those "things will never be the same" endings. I personally hate those because it makes me want to know what everyone's lives are like after the show ends.
Overall both seasons were amazing and a true pleasure to watch.

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…

So, the second part of Vampire Knight.
Story 9/10
So, here now is where we slowly progress off of what happened last while Yuki in season 2 is desperate to know about her past and it slowly builds up between her and a main battle which happens later. Also some other things are discovered too. I enjoyed the second part of the story between.
Art 10/10
The art didn't change obviously so I still enjoy it. Sound 10/10
More music was added and sound effects which made the anime between. So, the anime wasn't repetitive which if it was I think that would've kept the viewer bored.
Character 9/10
The characters improved compared to season one. Yuki is not so obsessed with Kaname and is more focused on her past with help but eventually does discover it with help.
Zero is slowly building up t…

"Vampire Knight Guilty" is the bookend to the "Vampire Knight" series. It succeeds in some areas where it's predecessor failed, but still doesn't redeem the series to anything more than mediocrity.
I was really, really, hoping for a spectacular conclusion. And while the second half is better than the first, I still feel left like I was a vampire given those blood tablets instead of the real thing. And that sucks. All puns intended.
The art, music, characters, and voice acting are still much the same. Japanese cast beats the English one, again. The story is a very much mixed bag. It had a pretty good twist at the end, but that was negated by the final big bad guy they had built up to being a flash in the pan. I was more interested in the side characters battles than the supposedly "big" o…

Story:
The previous series felt like a mad rush to lead up to this one, so this is slightly more mellowed out. Which I found good as since there was a little too much going on with the last series, there were some lose ends. Generally though the story is pretty tantalising and although it is mellower, it's all in a bid to the one penultimate moment, so for me it's forgiveable. I've read others complained of the pacing though for me it's not an issue as we're divulged into more character development. Though I found some aspects of the ending rather confusing, some of it just seemed to be a convenient plot device without rhyme or reason. I'll put it simply, and without spoilers as much as I can with one word; weapons.
Art:
Just fine, beautiful. But lacking in fluidity of movement and expr…

There are no spoilers in this review, so it can come off as vague, but I didn't want to spoil anything for those who may read it!
In my own list, I rated this as a 10 purely because I really, really loved it. But being more realistic, I think that in general, this anime is more like an 8 out of 10.
I don't really understand the complaints about the romance. Yes, it's angsty at times, yes, it has some cliches. But this is literally a romance anime targeted at younger girls. If you have a problem with that, why would you watch it or rate it negatively?
Ok, so now that I have that out of the way, I guess I'll go more into the series itself. I watched the first season because someone recommended it to me. I wasn't aware of what it was about, or what shoujo even was. I was pleasantly surpri…

The following review is how I feel about the anime Vampire Knight, and its sequel, Vampire Knight Guilty.
"You must do what you must do." -Kaname Kuran
This remarkable quote, spoken by one of the best anime characters ever, demonstrates the careful thought that the writers put into this incredible show.
I love everything about this show. One thing in particular that I love is how each character is not just there for the sake of being there. They all have their own importance to the plot development, and may I say that the plot is just phenomenal! I mean VAMPIRES!? LOVE TRIANGLES!? This anime right here is both original, and creative.
The most admirable character, though each character is immensely admirable in their own right, is definitely Yuki, our heroine. She is so brave, and not…

Watching Vampire Knight Guilty is a must after watching Vampire Knight. While the story line develops a lot, it becomes really outlandish and strange. It seems like the creators wanted to "surprise" you with as much as they possibly could and some of those surprises made the entire concept of the show seem weird and quite frankly a bit perverted (and not in a good way). By the last few episodes, I had no idea what was going on anymore, and I had to force myself to finish it just so I could finish it.
Unfortunately, I feel like I wasted my time watching this show. I loved the romance and the original concept and story, but where they took it...I do not want to go there ever again. >_____>
5/10

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…

This will be a review for both seasons 1 and 2 of Vampire Knight.
Still a better love story than Twilight... but let's face it, Vampire Knight is similar in a lot of ways, only the vampires don't sparkle, and there are no shirtless werewolves.
Vampire Knight was clichéd in a lot of ways. One girl, a bunch of sexy guys fighting to be her lover, plot twists, and corny lines... so many corny lines... what we have here is the perfect example of what love stories should not be like if you're trying to make something original and enjoyable. But don't get me wrong, I didn't hate the series, but I didn't love it.
The story goes like this: Yuuki Cross, a teenage girl who attends an academy whose classes are split up into 2 different sections, the Day Class (for the humans), and the Night Class (…

I thought Vampire Knight was going to be ending! And I really disappointed.. I was wrong, and yet Vampire Knight has a second season with the same name Vampire Knight (2) well, I was happy after that!
I thought the characters have changed! And no.. They weren't, Kuran Kaname is still fallin' in love with his pureblood little sister Kuran Yuuki, though Kiryuu Zero is falling in love with his childhood friend Yuuki but he pretend not to show his feeling
if you don't yet to watch this anime, I suppose you should watch this anime right away, and it has manga with the same name, story, characters, plot, and arts!
