What I usually enjoy in anime shows is watching the protagonist learn and grow. I might've adored this show, if Yuki hadn't been such a weakling. The "villain" only appeared at the very, very end, and I found their behavior inconsistent and what happened to them way too abrupt and anticlimactic. A little mystery is good, but too much "she's so precious to me but I won't say why" gets boring and annoying. Kaname constantly rescued Yuki, yet never explained her importance to him. Zero spent most of his time wanting to die. As for the other characters, they weren't much better. Sure, she was very generous with Zero, but I hate shoujo heroines who only stand out because they're SO good at being martyrs.
Maybe the next season will explain why she is in the middle of all of this, but I think season 1 should give the heroine SOME value. She was then promptly rescued by Kaname or Zero.
Usually, she'd just bring it out only to drop it when someone said something upsetting or when she tripped. She carried around a cool-looking staff that seemed to have magical properties, but never once used it well. The characters are what I disliked the most, especially Yuki. Lots of classical, which I enjoyed, and I like both the intro and ending songs. I've seen a lot of anime by now so I'm used to the huge eyes, but hers actually distracted me at times, maybe because the story had so little pull. I found Yuki's absolutely massive eyes irritating. The other vampires were pretty lame though, just a bunch of generic bishounen who were totally loyal to Kaname cuz the mangaka said so. Yuki was cute, Zero was handsome, and Kaname was gorgeous.
animes annoyingly full of longing, melodramatic gazes and characters saying each others' names in quiet, tortured voices. The characters didn't grow, events didn't build up into a climax, and the resolution was contrived and lukewarn. Really weak story, with few redeeming features. Episode after episode was her chasing after Zero, stupidly getting herself into danger, being saved by a male lead, and then feeling guilty. I would have loved the human heroine who patrols the grounds and night, making sure the vampires are in line, except.Yuki was TOTALLY lame. Some aspects of the setup I liked, like the school divided into day class human students and night class vampire students.
