This will possibly be the only shoujo anime I will ever watch in my life, therefore, it must be good O:

Waiting on a sub team to pick it up, but yeah, I enjoyed the manga so I'm presuming this is gonna be good times too.

Question.

On a clearly Japanese language site (or a clearly Japanese anything for that matter), why do they use English language for things like labels, or headings or menu names, when they have zero English language anywhere else on the web page? :) (like is the case on the official page of Vampire Knight).

I mean, I can't read the stuff, so what good is it to tell me what the stuff I can't read is :)
And if I can read the body of the text, why would I want the labels, or headings or menu names in English?
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

It has loads of pretty bishounen who may or may not be vampires, but it doesn't matter for the fangirls because they're all smexy hawt! :o

And I think there's a love triangle involved.

Happens all the time, wish it were the other way around so I can enjoy my Gundam 00 and Shakugan no Shana DS games... and all other jap RPGs I guess.

Studio DEEN better not screw up the animation later on in the series :|

All right, I checked out Episode 1 though I don't know if I want to follow that particular fansub group. This episode is mostly introduction stuff which I don't feel like typing up since the basic info can be found almost anywhere. Though I have to say the character designs look drop-dead gorgeous! Of course I can't expect anything less from designer Asako Nishida who did beautiful, sexy character designs from series like Simoun and Touka Gettan. It makes me wonder if Studio DEEN will be able to maintain that high quality throughout because this first episode looks really, REALLY good.

The one thing I have to complain about is the comedy doesn't really mesh too well with this. I heard from the manga readers that the comedy does get downplayed later on (I expect LOTS OF ANGST since this series just screams for it :o) so I guess I can tough it out for awhile.
