Vampire Knight
Now I've been all over the place looking for this "Blood + rival" and I simply can't find it. Is it a lack of effort on my part or am I misinformed on its conversion from manga? |

From what I'd heard the first episode of Vampire Knight (BANPAIA no yoru) wasn't even supposed to air until sometime today. It's WAY too new to be expecting to see this, even in fansubs. You're going to have to wait a while. The manga is easy to find though.

I don't think it's really a Blood+ rival at all. Completely different genre, only similarity is they have Vampire like creatures. This one is more of a high school shoujo reverse harem romance with Vampires. |

Yeah, this is an angsty teen shojo reverse harem romance flick, as apposed to a violent gory action series.
I have the first two mangas, its pretty good, but dont expect anything like Blood +

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Vampire Knight is more of a bishie fest than a real action packed vampire story, not that I have any problem with that. Have you already watched Hellsing and Trinity Blood? They are not exactly the same either, but are probably closer than Vampire Knight. |

Lol, yeah, you seemed to have had a misconception about the show, so I though I'd warn you. I've read part of the first manga, and it doesn't seem bad. But only if you don't mind reverse harem or bishonen type stuff. Just don't expect it to be funny like Ouron HSHC though. Personally I watch just about every genre out there other than most horror, mahou shoujo, or stuff for 5 year olds, so I'll probably give it a try at least a little bit to see what I think. There are usually at least a few good shows for most everyone in just about every genre, if you give them a try. |

Yes, I have and while they are a bit closer to it, they don't fit the mold. lol, the problem is, I guess, that I was looking for another romantic drama to emerse myself in...but something not...love hina. Something classic Last edited by Arenihs on Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:01 pm; edited 3 times in total |

You know, I am really spur of the moment when it comes to what I watch, but when I just get done with a series my head is still in that world. *shrugs* Its a bit like reading the last book of a good trilogy |

So, is it the character type that Saya represents (kick butt hunter chick with a touch of vulnerability) that you liked more about it? Cause, if so, it might be an easier fix to find a similar theme without the vampires. |

You might want to try Black Blood Brothers. Its an action vampire series.... not the best out there, but sadly I am well aware there are slim pickings for vampire shows.

Lol, very true, but no it is not the vampires that I find attractive. It's the drama sprinkled with little romantic flakes. Like...Gundam Wing, I was head over heals for Hero at one point in time. lol |

Agreed, there really aren't very many good vampire anime's out there, let alone any at all. Hellsing, Trinity Blood, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Princess Miyu, MoonPhase, Karin, Hitsuji no Uta, Kimera, Black Blood Brothers, Legend of Duo, Lunar Legend Tsukihime, Nightwalker: Midnight Detective, and Master of Mosquiton are the only ones I can think of off-hand, and a lot of them really suck. If you're looking for romance though there are tons of really good ones out there, from just about every genre. And yeah, I disliked Love-Hina as well, I hate shows like that and Girls Bravo and others where the lead male is relentlessly beat upon and acts like a complete wuss. I'm always like "BE A MAN YOU FREAKIN IDIOT". Last edited by Ultenth on Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:08 pm; edited 1 time in total |
