Vampire Knight: Guilty English Sub & Dub

About Vampire Knight: Guilty

If you are hunting for a new drama series, Vampire Knight: Guilty (ヴァンパイア騎士) deserves a look (2008). The setup goes like this. At its core: As a direct continuation of the first season, Zero comes back after his disappearance from the academy. Despite her relief, Yuuki, whose past is still shrouded in mystery, wonders what exactly happened to Zero during the separation.

Along the way, as Zero continues having the odd vision that appeared since the day he drank Kaname’s blood, he visits the now awakened Maria Kurenai in an attempt to find answers. She only provides him with a cryptic answer that suggests who the true foe really might be. In the meantime, vampires from the Supreme Vampire Council arrive at the academy in order to punish Zero with death for his sin of killing a pureblood.

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. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

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.
