About Vampire Knight

If you are hunting for a new drama series, Vampire Knight (ヴァンパイア騎士) deserves a look (2008). The setup goes like this. The premise: Cross Academy is an elite boarding school with two separate, isolated classes: the Day Class and the Night Class. On the surface, Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu are prefects of the academy, and attempt to keep order between the learners as classes rotate in the evenings.

From there, as the night class is full of utterly gorgeous elites, this can sometimes prove to be a bit difficult. It is completely necessary, however, as those "elites" are actually vampires. Yuuki and Zero act as guardians, protecting the buried truths of the Night Class and the safety of the ignorant day class.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Yui Horie as Yuuki Cross and Mamoru Miyano as Zero Kiryuu. It will appeal most to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio DEEN, which means the visual identity of Vampire Knight follows that studio's craft. Within the drama category, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. With a 6.2/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Yui Horie as Yuuki Cross, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2008, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
