Vampire Knight/ Review and opinion

We often rewatch anime after a certain amount of time has passed. Sometimes we completely confirm our initial opinion, and other times we change our minds a little after giving it a second viewing. A month ago, I published a post in which I mentioned some heartthrobs from various anime series. As I mentioned at the time, I based my list on anime I had seen, and it also reminded me of an anime I saw a long time ago, so I decided to give it a second look and share my opinion of  ## Vampire Knight  This anime tells the story of Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy. This academy has two classes: day class and night class. Yuki doesn't remember anything about her first five years of life. She only remembers that in the middle of a snowstorm, a vampire tried to attack her and that Kaname Kuran, a boy (who is a vampire), saved her.

Now, something that stands out about this anime is that it undoubtedly belongs to the shōjo genre. Here we see elements of romance, action, dark fantasy, and the supernatural, and it takes place in a school setting. The first thing we notice is the almost complete absence of unattractive people, especially when it comes to vampires or students in the night class.  [Imdb](https://www.imdb.com/es-ES/title/tt1209393/mediaviewer/rm1590347265/) To begin with, we have Kaname, who is undoubtedly the leader of the class in every sense. He is a vampire who embodies elegance and sensuality in a young man, and he is also recognized as one of the few pure-blooded vampires still in existence, so the others owe him obedience. so we see other characters around him who are loyal to him, such as Ichijō, Hanabusa (Idol), Kain, Ruka, Senri, and Rima. All of these characters, as well as others, stand out for their attractiveness, to the point that one of the roles of the prefects Yuki and Zero is to keep the admirers of the night class students away from those they admire.  [Imdb](https://www.imdb.com/es-ES/title/tt1209393/mediaviewer/rm1506461185/) Although this plot seems a little superficial, there are many mysteries surrounding the past of Yuki and Zero, who comes from a family of vampire hunters, and, as in everything involving power, a struggle to rule the vampires and some aspirations to achieve peaceful coexistence between humans and vampires. Now that I'm older than when I first saw this anime, I was in love with all the characters because they undoubtedly knew how to make each one attractive, since even the hunter Toga Yagari is handsome. Something that is noticeable in all the characters, especially the male ones, are their hairstyles, which are somewhat messy, but that makes them charming.  [Imdb](https://www.imdb.com/es-ES/title/tt1209393/mediaviewer/rm3955869185/) This anime dates back to 2008, a time when digital animation was not at the level it is today. I don't know how it would be appreciated at the time, but logically, when compared to current animations, we are faced with something mediocre, but it undoubtedly manages to reflect a gothic and mysterious atmosphere, which is what one expects to see in a plot involving vampires. On the other hand, this anime did not fully develop the story that is in the manga, so if anyone, like me, does some research, they will know that there is much more than what was shared with us in these two seasons.  [Imdb](https://www.imdb.com/es-ES/title/tt1209393/mediaviewer/rm3754542593/) As for the music, the opening and closing songs are quite catchy and grab the listener's attention. Now, if we talk about character development, the protagonist is quite bland and her development is minimal, if there is any at all. There is greater character development in Zero and Kaname, who are surrounded by secrets and intrigue. In short, Vampire Knight is an anime in which you will see many beautiful characters surrounded by mystery. The truth is that it could have been exploited much more, because only two seasons were made, leaving aside the story of the manga, which is much more intricate than meets the eye. I give it a 6 out of 10.
