Dawnleaf Watches Vampire Knight: Episode 6 – Looks Like We Have a Badass Over Here



I think that Yagari the vampire hunter wasn’t originally supposed to be in this anime.  He wandered in from some other show’s set, and the writers figured that they’d stick him in somewhere.  However, I’m extremely thankful for this mistake.  Because he taught me something I never would have thought of otherwise: shoujo anime need more grizzled, badass vampire hunters with deep voices.  In fact, all anime do.

Dawnleaf Watches Vampire Knight: Episode 5 – Time To Go Castlevania on This Mofo



Finally!  Another character for me to like showed up!  The school just got a new teacher- a vampire hunter!  And he has an eyepatch.  And he smokes.  And he’s a freakin’ badass!  This anime really needed a new infusion of badassery. 

Dawnleaf Watches Vampire Knight: Episode 4 – Totally Called It



Hahaha!  I was right! This show actually did something that I said that it should’ve!  Apparently, all humans who get turned to vampires via purebloods go all Level E.  Not instantly, but it’s a sort of slow degeneration.  However, this opens up the question of how non-Level E vampires are created, but I guess it could just be genetics.

Dawnleaf Watches Vampire Knight: Episode 2 – Brooding Sexily In the Bathroom



So, we’ve learned for certain the matters concerning Zero.  When he’s not being busy leading the rebellion against Brittania- whoops, wrong Zero.  The reasons our Zero equally spends his time being a dick, brooding sexily in the moonlight, and acting tsuntsun towards Yuuki are because he’s a dick, because he’s actually in the process of turning into a vampire even though he hates vampires because they killed his family and he can only resist becoming a vampire through sheer willpower and it hurts, and because he wants to suck out her body fluids, respectively.

Dawnleaf Watches Vampire Knight: Episode 1 – Are You A Good Vampire, Or A Bad Vampire?



Okay!  It’s been decided, and fairly easily, at that.  I’m watching the sub.  Because there’s basically only one role in the dub that does a really good job, and it’s the character that already has Mamoru Miyano in the original Japanese.  The rest of them in the dub range from ‘okay, I guess’ to ‘really bad’.  And, of course, everyone in the Japanese does a fine job.

Dawnleaf Watches Vampire Knight: A Foreword


I’m an odd person, at least in terms of tastes.  I can enjoy shows with a lot of action and violence.   Then, directly after finishing something like, say, Baccano!, I can turn around and like something really girly and fluffy, like Fruits Basket.  Thus, I’ve decided that I’m going on a search: an anime that has action and fluff.
