Story
9.5/10

The amazing world of vampires.. where they are ruled by the awesome power of the pure bloods...
Yuuki Cross who at the age of 5 was saved by a pure blood vampire Kaname from another blood thirsty vamp remembers this as her first memory. Now after ten years she studies at Cross Academy in the day class while at night roams the school grounds with Zero a vampire hunter who turns into a vampire from a bite given to him by a pure blood, to ensure that no one ever finds out that the night class actually consists of vampires. It a wonderful story about a girl life as she lives in the world of vampire caught between awe and fear for them while she tries to discover her own past and ensure the well being of those close to her.
There is blood everywhere and a beautiful love story while she has to decide between the one who saved her and her childhood friend.


I love the story line, it's so different from the usual Vampire stories. Plus it gives you awe-inspiring moments.

Animation
8.5/10

Though it was really good it's not as great as the art work in the manga. There are some scenes that are absolutely beautiful to watch. The fight sequences and the ones that have blood make you go-O.M.G!

I love the scenes where there is a lot of tension in the air, it makes you hold your breath.

Sound
9.5/10

The opening and closing tracks are superb! Even the sound effect in the anime are well timed. The background music suits the mood of the scene.

Characters
10/10

Beautifully created. Each character suits the role given to them and they work together wonderfully to weave a magical tale.
Mostly the characters are dark and yet so beautiful that it's a sin to think of them.
There is a lot of hidden meaning behind each character's role and that makes you love them even more.

Overall
9.5/10

This is a total must watch!!!! I assure you that you will fall in love with the anime. The only downside is they stop before the real fun starts.
If you really want to pick up where you left off, you need to read the manga too.

- Quotes -

"The world is dyed with the color of blood. It will never be able to go back to the way it was before"
"The next time you open your eyes the world might have already changed"
"I will cover and hide the part of my heart that wants to cry and scream"
"Being like this makes me feel like we've returned to the old days somewhat. Yeah. Zero is Zero. Even if you are a vampire now."
"I didn't understand anything. Zero suffered and suffered for four years. What were you thinking, all by yourself? He loathes vampires so much, he wants to kill them all. All this time, Zero wanted to kill himself too."
"I long for him.... but I understand. There's a line that vampires and humans can't cross."
Yuuki Cross

"I want these gentle hands and this kind smile, even though I should not want such a thing"
"Her very existence means the world to me"
"Because Yuuki was there, I might have been able to live on..."
"But you thought it would be okay to become a vampire, right...? I will never let you turn into something like that. Even if it means I have to make Kaname Kuran my enemy...and even if it means you will hate me..."
"Thats why for you, you have the right to be cruel to me.
No matter how much you make me worry or how much danger you put me in, just as much as you like, but these are not enough compensation even I have to sacrifice my leftover life for you. I'd not utter a word of complaint"
Zero Kiryuu

"Humans should never be turned into vampires. But in the old days, hidden from history, when the war between vampires and vampire hunters was at its peak, vampires turned many humans into vampires to use in battle. And now the aristocrats have the duty to manage those survivors. Sometimes we have to kill them off..."
"It's all right. You be just the way you are, Yuuki. You're different from the Night Class students who wait on me... You're a warm-hearted girl, Yuki. That's more than enough."
"Zero, you're suppose to be the one that hates vampires more than anyone else... but you need blood more than anyone else. I think you're more vampire like than any other vampire."
Kaname Kuran


"I'll show you a sweet dream next night"
- in the anime. <3
