Vampire Knight

Vampire Knight is the biggest joke ever. The characters are stereotyped, the plot is repetitive, and the ONLY signs of action are dialogue. For anime, that’s terrible. Should you watch it? No, no no….

Well, what is it about? It’s about an academy that caters to day students and night students (the vamps). Now, to give the show some credit, the vamps are hot, but the characters are as dry as slab. And they don’t do ANYTHING but talk, talk, and talk, Anyways, the dean of the academy chooses his adopted daughter Yuuki Cross, who’s basically the size of a munchkin, to whip the night students in line. She’s not strong, which makes it necessary for her to be constantly protected by another adopted academy student (a vampire in the making).  Does this fellow love her? Yup. Is he a big fat jerk with a chip on his soldier? You bet. But there are of course complications coming in the form of Kaname, the beautiful and desirable head student of the night class, who of course, treats Yuuki like she’s a princess. It’s almost incredible to me how many characters in anime are introduced as demi-gods. For instance, every girl has the hots for Kaname. He’s worshipped like an angel. Also, consider Sasuke from Naruto. I don’t think many students can relate to someone who’s constantly bowed down to (or that gorgeous), especially when it’s OVERDONE. Well. That’s okay, cuz I’m DONE with this show!
