i have been meaning to do a new thing for the blog where i review certain animes including more obsecure ones that i haven’t covered much on the blog. i will start with one of my favourite obsecure one as its not avaible in any streaming service currently in australia (it aired on abc3 in the earl 2010s is how i discovered it).
vampire knight is a very interesting anime featuring a school where they are split into day class (humans) and night class (vampires) with yuki and zero trying to keep the night class secret. yuki has a crush on the leader of the night class kaname. zero is revealed to have survived a vampire attack when he was young that killed his parents his twin brother was spared who despises zero completly and acctually falls for the vampire pureblood who killed their parents. zero struggles with avoiding falling to a level e (a vampire who used to be human who loses control) kaname spares him many times so yuki is protected. season 2 (unusual for this sort of animes to have 2 seasons) has yuki revealaed to be part of kanames family (in the anime they say they are siblings but i think its different in the manga) where yukis memories come back the vampire who killed her parents returns for revenge but is defeated by zero. the series ends with yuki and kaname leaving the school. that is most of the story it was proably after pokemon the anime that most got me into anime many years ago and honestly it is definately great. score 9.5/10
