Vampire Knight

Vampire Knight is an anime directed by Kiyoko Sayama about, you guessed it, vampires. The shows starts out in a private high school called Cross Academy that has students in two separate 'classes'; the night class, and the day class. If it's not completely obvious, the night class students are all vampire, while the day class students are human. The real twist is that the night class students are simply considered extremely gorgeous, popular, and perfect, the humans have no idea that they're actually vampires, and headmaster Kaien Cross aims to keep it that way. He adopted both a young girl named Yuki, and a boy, Zero, after his parents were killed by vampires. It's Yuki and Zero's job to ensure that no humans are wandering around at night trying to get a peek at their favorite night class student just to accidentally discover a vampire. They also have to keep certain night class students from feeding from those few, curious students. When Yuki's crush and head of the night class Kaname Kuran starts to get a few unwelcome plans for Yuki, Zero comes in with a few words of his own...

Alrighty then, so I like vampires, I like anime, why not combine the two right? There are a lot of mixed feelings when it comes to this show because the ending isn't really what you would suspect or want (not giving anything away). I know I'm not really a fan of how it ends simply because I like them to go how I want and this one, well, doesn't. But for those who like the unexpected, this is the show for you. It's very good and well rounded when it comes to humor and seriousness and the occasional scene here and there that'll bring tears to your eyes. There is also the controversial 'love triangle' between Yuki, Zero, and Kaname. I'm not going to go to far into that idea, but it's definitely there. The show does tend to jump around a little bit and not all the characters really have a back story, even the ones that you really want to know more about, such as the majority of the night class. Really, there are only a handful of characters that you really get to know. But, like I so often say, it's all up to the viewer. Some people like not knowing much about the smaller characters, whereas some people, like me, want to know as much as people because I tend to like the minor characters the most. But overall the show is good. It's not girly and has some cool fight scenes so ladies can even watch it with their boyfriends.
