<p align=center><em>Typical anime cliches has never been so refreshing. Instead of going to school we have a &#8216;going-to-work&#8217; version this time round.</em></p>
<p>Sorry for the sugoi late post! Quite busy this week round!</p>
<p>So, after pondering what I want to blog for this season (Since Katanagatari only releases 1 episode every month), I decide to go on with this one instead (Until I get pissed off, if that&#8217;s the case). Not in the best of mood, but it somehow rather reminds me on my kindergarten days&#8230;</p>
<p>Wait, I hardly remember anything from kindergarten. ROFL! From what I&#8217;ve seen, this resembles my days in kindergarten (Except that I don&#8217;t hit guys randomly and think that climbing trees is an extremely noble past time.).</p>
<p>They better not transform this into another Kodomo no Jikan. They better not.</p>
<p></p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-2-640x358.jpg" alt="Ep 2" title="Ep 2" width="640" height="358" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26633" /></p>
<p align=center><em>NOOOOO!!!!! I&#8217;m not some perv guy with a loli complex! I&#8217;m just a normal guy working in a kindergarten!</em></p>
<p>So our protagonist starts work in the kindergaten with the same name as the anime itself. Big deal. He rushes to work, but then thinking that he&#8217;ll be late anyway, he sees a loli, pushes his brakes and then starts hitting on her&#8230;wait, am I in the wrong show? She&#8217;s only 4, and he&#8217;s only in his 20s (I think). </p>
<p>Or maybe our little loli right her watches too much anime. Or rather boring soap operas that bored you to tears, but you think that these crap really are tear-jerking after all.</p>
<p>So he left Anzu behind, and how does he know her name in the first place when it&#8217;s the first time you met her? It&#8217;s anime after all, we can defy the laws of gravity and whatnot. That&#8217;s why. If a stranger I don&#8217;t even know of starts hitting on me, the first thing my mother would do is to kick that man&#8217;s ass instead of striding it off as if nothing ever happens. Hey, what&#8217;s with guys hitting you when you are 4?</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-3-640x353.jpg" alt="Ep 3" title="Ep 3" width="640" height="353" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26636" /></p>
<p align=center><em>Erm, no. Why are you putting me in a spot? You started it all right.</em></p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-4-640x352.jpg" alt="Ep 4" title="Ep 4" width="640" height="352" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26635" /></p>
<p align=center><em>If I was her, I would be screaming for my mother horrendously, and wouldn&#8217;t be Anzu be scared of falling in high places? Well, it&#8217;s anime after all.</em> </p>
<p>I kinda remember the time when I was in elementary school, and my mother sent me to a childcare center since she was wayyyy too busy to looking after me then. It wasn&#8217;t such a bad experience, I get to meet some new friends, but then I hardly ever seen them again when I completed 6th grade. Coming back to the story, well, yeah, kindergarten is fun, sucks, embarrassing and all the shit you can come up with, but Anzu, when the teacher is talking, you should be listening to them, not start wondering around and gossip around people that you&#8217;ve hit your very own kindergarten teacher&#8230;</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-5-640x355.jpg" alt="Ep 5" title="Ep 5" width="640" height="355" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26752" /></p>
<p align=center><em>SHHH!!!</em></p>
<p>And coming back to my experience in a childcare center, yeah, so there&#8217;s at least 2 male caretakers in the center. So it&#8217;s not very uncommon for male caretakers to take up the job but over the years, the number has declined. Don&#8217;t ask me why, but most people in society think being a caretaker is only for ladies, drag queens and the gays. Well, society: A big, fat WRONG!</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/EP-6-640x352.jpg" alt="EP 6" title="EP 6" width="640" height="352" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26753" /></p>
<p align=center><em>Parents: He&#8217;s gay, he&#8217;s definitely gay.</em></p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/EP-7-640x356.jpg" alt="EP 7" title="EP 7" width="640" height="356" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26754" /></p>
<p align=center><em>Gay&#8230;not! I love women very much, especially one with a G cup bosom! Thank you very much!</em></p>
<p>So after the introduction and all, things are starting to calm down&#8230;not with those three &#8216;rugrats&#8217; around when a big wind blows and skirts will lift up like flying a kite. Now, Koume&#8217;s ribbon given by her elder brother was now stuck on a tree. How convenient. ANZU RANGER TO THE RESCUE!!!  </p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-8-640x354.jpg" alt="Ep 8" title="Ep 8" width="640" height="354" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26755" /></p>
<p align=center><em>Noo, it&#8217;s Ranger Yamamoto-sensei to the rescue!</em></p>
<p>At last, Ranger Anzu was saved by Ranger Tsuchida, and really; if I was Anzu&#8217;s mother I would be screaming at her to get down this instant and instead call someone else to bring a ladder and bring down the ribbon. So, next time, guys who have premarital sex in high school, remember, being a parent is hard work. </p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-9-640x355.jpg" alt="Ep 9" title="Ep 9" width="640" height="355" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26756" /></p>
<p align=center><em>So, that make you gay, Tsuchida-san?</em></p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-10-640x354.jpg" alt="Ep 10" title="Ep 10" width="640" height="354" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26757" /></p>
<p align=center><em>You can use the female restroom, if you like. We won&#8217;t tell anyone about this, scouts&#8217; honor!</em></p>
<p>And so once again, the first day is saved. So everyone goes home, talk about their first day and&#8230;what?</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-11-640x353.jpg" alt="Ep 11" title="Ep 11" width="640" height="353" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26758" /></p>
<p align=center><em>Meow! I&#8217;m a catgirl. Daddy bought this for me!</em></p>
<p>Tsuchida and Anzu&#8217;s mother, Sakura are schoolmates in high school, and it was quite surprising that Sakura has premarital sex with her high school teacher. But since it&#8217;s Japan, they make it sound as if nothing serious has ever happen to them. No wonder the world&#8217;s turning upside down, but I&#8217;m not against that kind of relationship. I mean, shouldn&#8217;t you wait till you graduate from high school or something? Yes, I know, Japan needs more babies, but ethics comes first if you ask me.</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-12-640x355.jpg" alt="Ep 12" title="Ep 12" width="640" height="355" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26759" /></p>
<p align=center><em>&#8230;and be late for work tomorrow, again! Ooh, is that a PS2/3? Want play!</em></p>
<p>The next day, our dear Tsuchida rushes to work, AGAIN, and meets Sakura and Anzu. So, what did Anzu say&#8230;</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-13-640x355.jpg" alt="Ep 13" title="Ep 13" width="640" height="355" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26760" /></p>
<p align=center><em>I knew it! You&#8217;re not gay&#8230;you&#8217;re a pedo! With a loli complex!</em></p>
<p>Yeah, this first episode was quite interesting, though nothing special really turned up except for a twist or two. Fortunately, not much obvious fanservice (Thank god, Gainax), but you may never know. My favourite character: Hii-chan. And with the next preview&#8230;</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ep-14-640x355.jpg" alt="Ep 14" title="Ep 14" width="640" height="355" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26761" /></p>
<p align=center><em>She wears a safari suit. I wonder if she has a maido uniform, or a cheongsam, maybe a Lolita dress&#8230; (Thinking about dirty thought, but meh!)</em></p>
<p>This season doesn&#8217;t disappoint. Except for some shows that are so unworthy to be mentioned. I&#8217;ll see 4 more episodes before I decide if I would want to continue but for now, I&#8217;ll be sitting on the sidelines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/aido-yuki-puppets.jpg" alt="aido-yuki-puppets" title="aido-yuki-puppets" width="390" height="571" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25367" /></p>
<p align="center"><em> I would want to control both Kaname and Zero like puppets.</em></p>
<p>Note: Before you proceed, this post will contain a lot, and I mean it, 90% spoilers of up till the 56th chapter of Vampire Knight. If you have not finished reading Vampire Knight up till chapter 56, I strongly suggest that you turn back and not click the <strong>Read More</strong> button. Let me assure you that:</p>
<p>1. This is <strong>not</strong> a hate post, like I did to Kaname. Nope, never will I do it again. I&#8217;ll do my best to be as un-biased as possible towards any characters, since I&#8217;m, going to criticize some characters that I like (Zero) and praise some characters that I don&#8217;t usually pay attention to. </p>
<p>2. This is a post to compare the changes made in the characters from the later chapters up till chapter 56 with the earlier chapters from chapters 1 to the Rido Arc.</p>
<p>3. And one more thing, I kinda gonna scrap off the 10 Worst Fathers in Animation History thing out since I&#8217;m going overseas the upcoming Tuesday on the 8th, so I&#8217;ll be back before Christmas and share my views on the Winter 2009/2010 Anime preview.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Yes, it&#8217;s been bugging me for quite some time now during the summer season after the one-year time skip into the next arc. And boy I do see quite a number of characters changed for the better (And some for the worse) and some others who do not, which I will list down below.</p>
<p>Okay, first off, our very own:</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Yuki.jpg" alt="Yuki" title="Yuki" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25368" /><strong>Yuki Kuran</strong> (Since she&#8217;s no longer Kaien&#8217;s daughter, but it&#8217;s for you to decide whether she should be either a Cross or a Kuran): Sadly to say, I have quite a hard time seeing the new, sophisticated pureblood not being herself quite most of the time. Man, I wish the old Yuki is back, but I think that would be quite impossible, since all the event which happened during Rido&#8217;s reign in Cross Academy a couple of chapters ago. But I also kind of looking forward to see her working together with Zero and not being the powerless little girl we seen in the earlier chapters, though it might be hard for Zero to cooperate since he promised Yuki that he will exterminate all purebloods and all that jazz. The new Yuki, although beautiful and mighty, I found her to be like Kaname&#8217;s lifeless doll and being a yes-girl. She&#8217;s so dead, man and that has almost made me puke 44 times.</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Zero.jpg" alt="Zero" title="Zero" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25369" /><strong>Zero Kiryuu</strong>: It must be hard for a Zero fan to say this, but I really starting to get a little pissed and turned off on Zero&#8217;s behavior in these few later chapters. Well, he&#8217;s been very emotional and unapproachable to Yuki, but after all these complicated previous events that happened between him, Yuki and Kaname, it must be hard on him to come to reasonable terms with anyone. Angst, angst and more angst. It&#8217;s so difficult to let anyone get close to him, not to mention Kaito&#8217;s intervention into the situation. (See below later.) More appearance please, Hino-sensei?</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Kaname.jpg" alt="Kaname" title="Kaname" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25371" /><strong>Kaname Kuran</strong>: And it&#8217;s also hard for me to make this confession, but I&#8217;m standing a little slightly to Kaname&#8217;s side, since he doesn&#8217;t act like an arrogant <del datetime="2009-11-22T06:31:55+00:00">masochist</del> jerk this time that gives this silent message to fans of &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m the king, the rare pureblood, so all of you must obey my orders or else you&#8217;ll face the consequences&#8221; in the earlier chapters. Some aspects of him might be unbearable, but in mentioning his life in his original form has made me a little sorry for him. Yup, and that&#8217;s probably the reason why I stood at Zero&#8217;s side till now (Comparing to the Kaname VS Zero situation, I find it quite similar to what the German people do when they are to vote for the Nazis or the Communists at that era. And the majority voted for the Nazis because they have no choice, since the Nazis claimed that the Communists are troublemakers and the Democratic Party is weak and stuff like that.)</p>
<p>God, talking about mixing fiction and factual stuff together. Ahem!</p>
<p>However, I still do not support Yume (Yuki X Kaname pairing, for those who aren&#8217;t familiar to the VK fandom.), Kaname treating Yuki like a doll (VK fans, you should know) and making her do things that he thinks Yuki is suited best. Geez, you want Yuki to grow up quickly, right? Put her in the outside world and let her learn a lot faster instead of &#8216;quarantining&#8217; her 24/7, 365 days a year please? And one more thing: It&#8217;s difficult to paint a child like Yuki with your favorite colours. It&#8217;s neither possible nor impossible. (Up to you to debate.)</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Aido.jpg" alt="Aido" title="Aido" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25372" /><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Kain.jpg" alt="Kain" title="Kain" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25373" /><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Ruka.jpg" alt="Ruka" title="Ruka" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25374" /></p>
<p><strong>Aido Hanabusa, Kain Akatsuki and Ruka Souen</strong>: Man, I think they hardly change from their usual selves, except for Ruka who&#8217;s a little open and starting to like Yuki for the better by helping her with the party. I hope she won&#8217;t crawl up to Yuki like she did with Kaname in earlier chapters.</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Shiki.jpg" alt="Shiki" title="Shiki" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25375" /><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Rima.jpg" alt="Rima" title="Rima" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25376" /><strong>Rima Touya and Shiki Senri</strong>: For them, in my opinion, they changed significantly for the better. Not only they are much more open compared to the pre-Rido Arc, they are able to think for themselves rather than &#8216;Seeing things unfold and stand at the sidelines.&#8217; It&#8217;s quite good news that are still quite concerned in the situation but also hope that they don&#8217;t return to their old selves again after much development.</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Kaito.jpg" alt="Kaito" title="Kaito" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25377" /><strong>Kaito</strong>: For those of you who don&#8217;t know or missed out the later chapters, Kaito is originally a character from the VK novels and mostly on Zero&#8217;s side of the story. So just by looking at him in the entire of chapter 44 from start to finish, I just have the impression of saying:</p>
<p>&#8220;Erm, why are you teaching Ethics? Geez, do all vampire hunter teachers teach Ethics in any school they go to? I think you are more suited to teach Biology instead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like teaching the same subject as Yagari isn&#8217;t going to help. The first time I saw him in chapter 44, I wasn&#8217;t too impressed by his relations with Zero and himself. Shall not go further, moving on. (&#8217;cause if I move on I might turn this entire post into a Kaito-Hate post, which is not why I wrote this.)</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Sara.jpg" alt="Sara" title="Sara" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25378" /><strong>Sara Shirabuki</strong>: Ok&#8230;the first time we saw her was around chapter 20+ (I&#8217;m too lazy to do research&#8230;have a busy week to pack my stuff for my vacation.) and with little known info about her character. Until now, I thought she was at Kaname side, but turns out that she&#8217;s at the opposite end instead. I almost went ROFL at the part when she says &#8220;I will be QUEEN~&#8221; in chapter 56. Quite stereotypical, but I leave it aside. See Rido, he&#8217;s also a stereotypical villain too, but Vampire Knight isn&#8217;t really about them. Nice development, on the contrary.</p>
<p><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Takuma.jpg" alt="Takuma" title="Takuma" width="140" height="140" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-25379" /><strong>Takuma Ichijo</strong>: Nothing much to say about him, since he didn&#8217;t really changed much over the past one year aside from being a servant of Sara. Yeah, he&#8217;s still likable but maybe he&#8217;s trying to get the good side from Shiki and Rima and getting them to trust him &#8217;cause he&#8217;s really evil inside&#8230;However I could be wrong, but let this be a food for thought for now&#8230;</p>
<p>Somehow, I&#8217;m getting a little frustrated at how the manga is going at this moment, particularly at Yuki <strong>Kuran</strong>. Yuki made a vow to be a stronger person in one of the chapters, but she&#8217;s still the same altogether after the one year time skip. To add to my woes, she became less herself altogether, becoming a lifeless doll for Kaname to play with (And Kaname, nice fashion sense! Thought pinheels are <em>very comfortable</em> to wear.) and the story being a little most angsty as before. But to look at the brighter side, at least there are 7 families of purebloods currently (Well, one of the families can be considered extinct [Hio], one of them are &#8216;asleep&#8217; [Hanadangi], about 3 or 4 of them are with the Council and then we have the Kurans.) and I don&#8217;t know where this will lead us to. Need to really steer away from VK for a while, I don&#8217;t really want my anticipation for chapter 57 to be a disappointment. </p>
<p>I miss my old Yuki all over again. Enough of the rant, I should probably get a life once I return from my vacation.</p>

<p><align="center"> <em>You should see how much I&#8217;ve grown. Or not.</em></align="center"></p>
<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s been almost a year since I last blog anything. 3 more papers till I&#8217;m finally free from my nightmare of having to take paper after paper after paper after paper after paper&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, sorry. Did I rant too much? Silly me.</p>
<p>Yeah, so while I was away, I still get the chance to see quite a few anime series, some as good as Kimi ni Todoke, Umineko and Eden of the East and the crappy ones like Asura Cryin&#8217; (Did not cry, you piece of junk), Miracle Train (Man, I don&#8217;t anyone watches it, but I only watch it for the sake of boredom.) and 07-Ghost (I&#8217;m starting to hate Studio DEEN ever since I watched Vampire Knight, but I&#8217;m still respecting it due to their involvement in Umineko, which is still as awesome as the 1st episode.)</p>
<p>Before I began ranting how much I&#8217;ve struggled over the year, let&#8217;s get into it. (Note: List of anime I&#8217;ve watched is not in order of the worst to the best and vice versa. I just jot down things that my brain pops up.) Erm, I&#8217;m getting extremely loquacious, let&#8217;s move on.</p>
<p></p>
<p><em>Note: Will be listing a number of series from Production I.G, Studio DEEN and Bones. It&#8217;s a good year for them, fortunately.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eden of the East</strong></p>

<p>Ahh&#8230;before it was aired, I thought it was some kind of unoriginal crap I&#8217;ve been getting after watching crappy anime series again and again. But the 1st episode proved me wrong. Love the ED sequence especially, with the creative use of paper, paper and more paper. And the best way for our main protagonist Akira to suffer from amnesia. (Why is he naked in the first place? D:)<br />
Unfortunately, the story suffers in the middle and towards the end, but it get me some time to get used to the terminology of the series and know what on Earth is going on. But I shall praise for the clean animation (Though I&#8217;m not used to the character design. I guess that&#8217;s me.) and the decent use of CGI as many series which used CGI turns out like shit in the end.</p>

<p>My friend and I sometimes compared this with the original series that aired a few years ago. Coming to a conclusion, this series is very, very faithful to the manga (With some minor changes of course, but it doesn&#8217;t affect largely on the series.) unlike some other anime series like Vampire Knight and 07-Ghost which butchered the plot in the face of fans of the manga series. This series mixes humour and seriousness together quite well, keep it up, BONES (Thumbs up.) and also triggers my emotions at certain scenes (Such as Winry meeting the murderer of her parent Scar and the recent Ishbal massacre that made me feel sympathetic towards the soldiers who are involved in this war and angry for those who started it.)</p>
<p>Yeah, it was good with unexpected plot twists (For those who avoid reading the manga or just too lazy to check it out. I&#8217;m one of them) and the animation was crisp and detailed. It&#8217;s still ongoing, so go check it out if you can, though you have to tolerate the violence and gore in some of the episodes (Warning to those who can&#8217;t stand gore.) The music is good, anyways. (Rush to check out OPs and EDs.)</p>

<p>Man, it&#8217;s getting more and more exciting. Until now it has been a very one-sided match between Battler and Beatrice, but episode 19 has gotten my feet up together to see the awesomeness once more, most of all the inclusion of Battler&#8217;s half-younger sister, Ange, and the use of blue text, which pars the power with Beatrice&#8217;s red text. Of all the WTF moments they have, this series is probably the 1st of all series I&#8217;ve listed to have it (Next to FMA: Brotherhood.) Though some parts Studio DEEN cut are also very crucial to the story (Which there are too many of them to list down.), they still do quite a great job on it and keeping as much consistency as possible, all thanks to the director who also did on Higurashi. (At least they did the right thing to picked someone experience to do Umineko, or else I would have switched this series off long ago.) I love the OP, but I don&#8217;t really get what the ED has to do with the series though I&#8217;m starting to get the hang of the ED. And unlike VK and 07-Ghost, they avoid showing their flaws as much as possible.</p>

<p>Feels so familiar, now that I&#8217;m leaving school after my papers are over. Time for me to get a part-time job before my magic paper pops right in front of me before I know it. Back to the topic, it&#8217;s unique in its own way and the character design is on par with the manga. The pacing is good, as least for those who just want to chill in everyday life and make yourself happy. But most of all, I feel the same way as Saint Sawako Kuronuma, feeling the same way of being somewhat of an outcast and starts to open up to have friends who really care about her. Like FMA: Brotherhood, I&#8217;ve cried several times in the series, just like how Ouran has made me laugh of their shallow jokes and nonsense. </p>
<p>The only problem with the series is the male lead (Don&#8217;t bash me up, it&#8217;s only my opinion, not yours.). Don&#8217;t really know if a person like Kazehaya can exist in reality, but to me, he&#8217;s trying to be to please everyone (Or not) but he could just be trying too hard or become a yes-man to everybody (Except for a few instances.) But other than that, the characters are quite lovable, especially Pin, the temporary homeroom teacher of our fellow main characters. Just really wish that an anime series can stand out in their own way rather than being just carbon copies of each other.</p>

<p>With plenty of bitches (Liang Qi), woman that fight and show off their guns (Alphard and Canaan) and very annoying girls who always acts as damsel in distresses (Maria Osawa, Yunyun but not as much as <em>Sugoi Girl</em> as some of our members in THAT put Maria as), I only watched the series for its animation awesomeness and the UA virus that has been affecting very important people, such as the Vice-President of Japan and the villagers who were infected by it. Well, it&#8217;s the only Type-Moon series I&#8217;ve watched, aside from the Kara no Kyoukai movie series, so I don&#8217;t know if this series is a miss or hit. I empathize how many of you by your reaction of Maria&#8217;s character (And speaking of Osawa, I almost mistaken from a pr0n star by the same name, only that her surname is O<strong>z</strong>awa instead of O<strong>s</strong>awa). Also, that reminds me of a girl in Miracle Train that somehow talks like Osawa at the beginning of episode 5 with <em>sugoi, sugoi sugoi!!!!</em> Still, once again, P.A. Works has prove us right that they can do action scenes as well. </p>

<p>This series is trying too hard to squeeze too many things, mainly a mecha theme, a harem (And a very stereotypical one in that.), science fiction, magic and way too many things that I found myself unable to count after 5. </p>
<p>The animation doesn&#8217;t really stand out (Seven Arcs, why???) and the only reason why I watched this series because I thought it has potential aside from it&#8217;s animation, but I was wrong. Let&#8217;s not talk about all these things, shall we? At least it has the guts to try out something new, but the 2nd season has pushed the series in oblivion. So I&#8217;m going to end my rant here, once and for all.</p>

<p>I only start watching this series till the end at the middle of the series, &#8217;cause the earlier parts has turned me off. Despite GONZO in the brink of bankruptcy and all (So sorry if I am inaccurate at GONZO&#8217;s position of that time. I was away from the anime world at the earlier part of the year.) and it was quite consistent, from the looks of it. This series gives us some time to get used to the world they are living in, and imagine what will happen to the world. (Please do not talk about 2012 all over again for me. I&#8217;m somehow sick and tired of this prediction, may it be true or not.) But they pulled a rather rushed ending, but I think that&#8217;s GONZO for you.</p>

<p>Probably one of the most decent anime adaptation from a console game. Been very wary of reviews that anime adaptations from a console game doesn&#8217;t live up to an average anime standard (Maple Story, Ragnarok etc.) but for Valkyria Chronicles, it&#8217;s still quite acceptable (I don&#8217;t own a PS3, if you ask.). But also, I&#8217;ve been doing some research about the game too (And it&#8217;s sequel releasing next year in Japan.) and found out that some parts in the game are missed out but there&#8217;s no way for us to do anything, now that the damage has been done. But unfortunately for me, I stopped watching the series halfway (One reason was that I was too stressed if I am able to continue this series, so I didn&#8217;t really see the later half.) but it was still quite both a surreal and refreshing experience for me.</p>

<p>This series has left my friend crying and lamenting in a corner, for obvious reasons. The anime doesn&#8217;t live up to the standards as the manga. </p>
<p>At first, before the airing of the anime, my friend encouraged me heavily to catch this series, &#8220;&#8217;cause the manga&#8217;s really good,&#8221; she says. Then, after the 1st episode aired, she went fuming away, and only stayed to watch it to compare the difference between the anime with the manga. Me, like she said, I picked it up, but the 1st episode gives me a feeling that it&#8217;s gonna suck. (Sorry, fan girls, if I have hurt your feelings about this series, which I will explain later below.)</p>
<p>Now and then do I pick up any random episodes as for and when I like and watch it, but seeing the characters and story unfold very slowly and painfully has got me click &#8216;back&#8217; whenever I get really upset. Speaking of which, whenever I watched any of the scenes in any episode, I always have this Vampire Knight (anime) vibe onto me, telling me to stop watching this piece of crap and do more useful things instead of hogging in the computer all day long. It was a bad experience watching all the characters having stale personalities, but the animation and special effects are still decent. (When I asked my friend about it, she told me that the anime is only the exam arc or something, &#8217;cause I never want to try getting into the series, fearing that the manga will hurt my feelings more.)</p>
<p>Score: 6/10 (At least the animation and special effects are decent.)</p>
<p>And there are some series that aren&#8217;t worth mentioning, but since mentioning, I&#8217;m only giving a three-sentence review about it and only watched them out of boredom and curiosity. So don&#8217;t ask why.</p>
<p>Note: I&#8217;ve only watched a glimpse about the shows, or read about others review of the series&#8217; below either from word-to-mouth or from random sites :</p>
<p>1. K-ON!: Too much moe blob, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! (Especially Mio, I don&#8217;t see why so many Japanese otaku or whatnot picked her as a waifu if she exists in real life.) but it doesn&#8217;t appeal to me. Dropped.</p>
<p>2. Haruhi Suzumiya: Didn&#8217;t bother to watch it. I&#8217;ve heard from several reviews that the 2nd season is quite bad, especially the Endless Eight arc. Dropped.</p>
<p>3. Phantom: I&#8217;ve heard from some anime sites that said that the story and action is pretty good. I shall pick it up someday, though I don&#8217;t know if this is a good time.</p>
<p>4. Pandora Hearts: Again, some anime sites actually praised the plot as an underrated series. The animation reminds me of those 90&#8217;s anime style. I was still very young then, about 5 or 6.</p>
<p>5. Saki: MAHJONG POWAR! Reminds me of the Yu-Gi-Oh series, which I don&#8217;t really even bother. Oh well, epic fail. (Only watched the 1st episode, and then it turns all crappy of yuri undertones and the WTF power-up like those seen in typical shounen titles.) Dropped.</p>
<p>6. White Album: Only watched the first episode of season two, shut the series down after completing the same episode. A no-no for me. Dropped.</p>
<p>7. Cencoroll: Impressive, given that this is done only by one person (Besides Makoto Shinkai). I was still quite confused what the plot is about rather than fighting one another with monsters or something.</p>
<p>8. Higurashi OAV: It was really well written both humorous and serious. I kind of loved the last episode of the OAV, at least the mahjong part was not as creepy as Saki. (Should pick it up, even if you don&#8217;t know what on earth is going on in the previous 2 seasons.) Unlike all the other series, I watched the entire series from the 1st to the last.</p>
<p>9. Maria Holic: At least it was funny and the animation style kind of separates this from the rest (Except for Kimi ni Todoke, which also uses their own unique style). I would want to catch a second season if they have it, despite the yuri theme, gender bender and Catholic schools aspects. </p>
<p><strong>*10. Bakemonogatari: Fine. Some of you insist on this series, I shall talk about it in 3 sentence (Or not.). Okay, I confess that I didn&#8217;t have time to watch this, but I&#8217;ll definitely watch the entire series when my paper ends on Wednesday. Back to the topic, I only watched episode 13 of the series, and I was pretty surprised (In a good way) of the way the characters speak and the artistic style. (I guess Director Akiyuki Shinbo has many series in his hands this year.) Do I intend to write this within 3 sentence? Yeah, so I shall check back to Bakemonogatari within this week, if I have the time. </strong></p>
<p>So there you go. Maybe the few anime series may not be so few after all. Yikes! While I was away, I too picked up my obsession with Avatar: the Last Airbender (Ya, I know this sounds out of the blue speaking about non-anime stuff in an anime blog) and I can&#8217;t wait for Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep to be released early next year in Japan after some disappointment with 358/2 Days from some fans of the series (But I&#8217;m still quite happy the story and gameplay turns out in the end.) with plans to get my on PSP, in which my brother has one but often uses it when in the army.</p>
<p>Three more thing before I forget. One, I won&#8217;t be blogging any series from the beginning till the end (I&#8217;ve learnt my lesson after Vampire Knight and World Destruction did to me.) and may just pop out anywhere as I like. Two, I need you guys to comment and mention the worst fathers (Sorry, no non-fictitious names of dads here.) in animation history (That includes video games and non-anime series, such as Avatar. Movies outside Japan are not allowed.), though I have some on my mind. I&#8217;ll tell you the reasons why I&#8217;m doing this later on when I come up with the post. Three and lastly, I&#8217;m having the urge to change my name in THAT, but I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s possible till I ask one of the THAT writer, so until then, <em>sayonara</em>.   </p>

<p>Arg&#8230;stupid. Baka Zero. Kaname just have to play mastermind and controls Zero like his worthless chess pawn in his favorite game just to kill Rido. And the way they kill Rido was definitely EPIC FAIL. If it was supposed to be easy they would have done it long ago, even before Rido became awake again. If you&#8217;re wondering why I&#8217;m still here, I only came here only on one condition; it&#8217;s to finish writing all my reviews without me getting all guilty there when I go back to school. I wonder why things are so hectic on my first day. *sigh*</p>

<p align="center"><em> You need to lose weight, Rido-sama. Too much blood might make you obese and ugly. </em></p>
<p>Zero unleashes his ultimate weapon: Bloody Rose, Version 5.0 (With plant vines included.) and shoots recklessly with any vampire he comes with contact with (Minus Yuki and the Night Class students). Rido, trying to stall for time, runs away from their sight and without a doubt, Zero goes after him. Oh man, even if I take Yuki out of the last few episodes, things won&#8217;t change anyways. She just goes out with Kaname and left Zero all alone in Cross Academy. Poor Zero, he need to open up and make friends. </p>

<p align="center"><em>I, Zero Kiryuu, will finish you off like stepping on tiny ants.</em></p>
<p>Desperately to get more blood, Rido goes out to the woods to suck more and more blood until Kaname interrupts with his rushed blood &#8216;feast&#8217;. Kaname blasts him with few of his <del datetime="2009-01-01T03:43:19+00:00">owned</del> attacks, Rido recovers, Kaname unleashes Zero&#8217;s ultimate power before blasting Rido into glass or sand&#8230;whatever the material is, fragments.</p>

<p align="center"><em>Gay much. Period.</em></p>
<p>And yes, Rima and Shiki are pretty useless for the final battle. They don&#8217;t even seem to move a finger on killing Rido&#8217;s army of minions and just take a stroll to see Rido, the Almighty Pureblood and witness Zero pwned him like an insect as if they are taking a walk in the park. Even if I remove them from the final battle, everything would still remain intact and it would be indifferent from anyone else. They should just stay at the Night Class Dorms, have million sticks of Pocky and have a romantic night without realizing that they&#8217;re friends are in danger, protecting Yuki the Kuran Princess with all their might. But I still think they are a great pair for the entire 2 seasons duration.</p>

<p>Yuki packs all her stuff, sharing fluffy moments with Kaname before kissing&#8230;no they did not. Of all things, why is the kiss censored/edited/not shown at all. I could hear Kaname X Yuki fangirls screaming angrily from afar&#8230;I wish I could be Zero&#8217;s girlfriend when the anime ends, but I can&#8217;t since he and I are from two different world. He&#8217;s in the world of fantasy when everything is 2D in there while I&#8217;m in the world of reality, all things 3D.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-09.jpg" alt="" title="13-09" width="500" height="280" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14824" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>And Kaname Kuran is also included in my list of &#8216;10 bishounen fangirls will scream frantically upon not seeing Yuki and Kaname kiss.&#8217;</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-10.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-10.jpg" alt="" title="13-10" width="500" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14825" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Bye bye, Zero.</em></p>
<p>So Yuki makes her decision: She decides to leave with Kaname along with the rest of the Night Class students, while Zero stays in Cross Academy all alone and reminds that Yuki will always stay in his mind. For the last time, Rima and Shiki were hanging around the crumbled building and saw Takuma&#8217;s katana on the floor. It&#8217;s pretty obvious what happened to him with his grandfather when this happen. The Day Class students are allowed to go outside again after the fight with Rido-sama ends. At the same time, Yagari and the vampire hunters who came to Cross Academy under the gay President&#8217;s orders came to help up, taking the remaining out of the academy. All ends well. The End.</p>
<p><strong>Impressions and whole review:</strong></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-11.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-11.jpg" alt="" title="13-11" width="500" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14826" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>KAIEN!!! YOU&#8217;RE BACK!!! Yuki, call Kaien your father, now! He can&#8217;t bear to part with you.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-12.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-12.jpg" alt="" title="13-12" width="500" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14827" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Finally, they have a mind on their own.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/13-13.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/13-13.jpg" alt="" title="13-13" width="500" height="279" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14833" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>R.I.P: Takuma Ichijou. He&#8217;s a great vampire.</em></p>
<p>So after all those emo-ness whipping around Zero, Yuki having to fit in when she was awaken as a vampire and Kaname&#8217;s sister/betrothed/lover, I could consider the ending could be bittersweet, good, bad by what you think of the show so far. Zero, someday you&#8217;ll have a girlfriend by not acting so emo and fierce at the Day Class girls. </p>
<p>One thing I found the situations a little out of hand was Kaname not doing anything except watching Zero become powerful enough to swat Rido like a bug. At least he could handle the Level E vampires, and yet he stands at the sideline, doing absolutely nothing AT ALL. Yuki still stands a chance; even though she can&#8217;t fight vampires due to her awoken powers, AT LEAST she still tries. Zero should kick his ass to get himself running and saving Yuki form any trouble instead of surrendering himself to Yagari and Kaien when he was confined at the basement level of the school. Are all of them useless or clueless what was going on?     </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/13-14.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/13-14.jpg" alt="" title="13-14" width="500" height="281" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14832" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>SAMURAI SHIKI! And no, the sword doesn&#8217;t suit you one bit.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-15.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13-15.jpg" alt="" title="13-15" width="500" height="279" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14830" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Zero misses Yuki after all. DAY CLASS STUDENTS: GO BACK TO YOUR DORMS!</em></p>
<p>Regarding to the animation, story and music itself; the animation in the second season has improved, though it&#8217;s not my style of art if you ask me. By looking closely at the animation quality, it&#8217;s not very consistent (Zero&#8217;s hair length, body proportions etc) but it&#8217;s true. Sorry. While the plot in the first season goes too quickly, the speed for the second season was a little slow but still in a good pace. There&#8217;s still some questions that left us unanswered but probably fans of this show would hope there will be a movie or an OVA coming out soon if responses are high. Talk about music, using instruments in the baroque and classical era was too dry but I am glad that both the OP and the ED songs for the second season left a decent impact on me. Overall, the second season got most of us intrigued by it&#8217;s plotline and animation.</p>
<p>Overall (Sub): 8.5/10 (It&#8217;s not bad already. So stop complaining.)<br />
Story: 8.0/10<br />
Animation: 7.5/10<br />
Art Quality: 8.0/10<br />
Music: 7.0/10<br />
Voice-over work: 8.0/10 (Kaname&#8217;s seiyuu almost caught me asleep whenever I hear his draggy lines)</p>
<p>So see you 11 months from now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/newyear_anime_.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/newyear_anime_.jpg" alt="" title="newyear_anime_" width="499" height="364" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14722" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>CCS, anyone? The New Year has arrived!</em></p>
<p>To end of 2008 (With so many ups and downs) and hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone living in this planet. Economy crisis, natural disasters, political crisis and global warming, GO AWAY! (Well, except for global warning. You can&#8217;t get rid of that.)</p>
<p>Note: Yes, the list is biased (Because 6 out of 10 are based on seiyuu cast). If you did not see your favorite anime in this list, either I really hate them or I did not watch it at all because I think that group of shows does not suit my taste or I don&#8217;t even bother to watch them &#8217;cause of time restraints OR I think the show is inappropriate for me (With lots of fanservice and the show is irrelevant to the point I shut my brain down and pick up another series that is worth spending my time on it.)</p>
<p>Now on my top 10 anime shows in 2008! If it sucks, remember: it&#8217;s only my opinion not yours. (Spoilers ahead)</p>
<p></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/toradora.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/toradora.jpg" alt="" title="toradora" width="500" height="279" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14743" /></a></p>
<p>10. Toradora!<br />
Vanilla good, parades bad! Thought the show was good at first but as it goes on, it doesn&#8217;t look the same anymore. (And you know how I don&#8217;t like female leads but rather the co-female leads in romance flicks, the same applies to To Aru Majutsu no Index where Misaka and her &#8216;Sisters&#8217; rocks my socks). Anytime I would have to drop this series, but if anything goes beyond my expectations, then I will leave it for it to rot.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/chocolate_underground.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/chocolate_underground.jpg" alt="" title="chocolate_underground" width="498" height="263" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14738" /></a></p>
<p>9. Chocolate Underground<br />
Despite its short 13 5 minutes clips, it was pretty interesting in the end (Though I find the ending pretty rushed). Chocolate Underground is about England or whatsoever country being taken over by the Good for You Party and bans chocolate everywhere people go. Everywhere people go, the Good For You Party is always on the watch to brainwash innocent people with it&#8217;s &#8216;Eat Healthy, Chocolate is bad for you and you will die once you eat them&#8217; commercials and messages. Fortunately, hope is not lost. Our heroes, Huntly, Smudger, Louise, Blade and their friends secretly make chocolate underground and plans to overthrow the Good For You Party. And you know what, CHOCOLATE IS VERY GOOD FOR YOU! (Stupid grin shown, still finding the music for the ED song, it was pretty catchy.) Watch the show only for the pure fun, overthrowing the <del datetime="2008-12-27T06:18:50+00:00">Bad</del> Good For You Party.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/gundam_00.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/gundam_00.jpg" alt="" title="gundam_00" width="500" height="279" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14740" /></a></p>
<p>8. Gundam 00</p>
<p>I AM GUNDAM. Yes, that&#8217;s my favorite line in the series. Want me to say it again? I can see Crusader&#8217;s angrily rambling about stuff in the series. I AM GUNDAM!</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/d_gray_man.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/d_gray_man.jpg" alt="" title="d_gray_man" width="500" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14742" /></a></p>
<p>7. D.Gray Man<br />
Why does it has to end?? But fortunately, the manga will be on hiatus until Hoshino gets well again from her sickness (Yes, I&#8217;m calling Hoshino a &#8216;She&#8217;). Why end the series???? Still waiting for manga to be back, but until then, HOSHINO, GET WELL SOON! I wasn&#8217;t so pleased at the action scenes for the last few episodes but I know they did their best to get it done. It&#8217;s still good, unlike all those other Shounen Jump series (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach etc.) after years the show still keeps running with fillers all over.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/world_destruction.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/world_destruction.jpg" alt="" title="world_destruction" width="500" height="285" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14741" /></a></p>
<p>6. World Destruction<br />
Probably you guys won&#8217;t agree with this and no one will stop me from writing this to World Destruction. Yeah, nothing seem to interest me (Save the Toppi jokes for later) until the last episode when Kirie unleashed a godly power within himself. I enjoyed the show more than Vampire Knight, &#8217;cause I didn&#8217;t took it rather seriously until the last episode itself. It&#8217;s coming out in the USA as <em>Sands of Destruction</em> in Fall 2009. The title change? Probably to some weird censorship problems, perhaps?</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vampire_knight.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vampire_knight.jpg" alt="" title="vampire_knight" width="500" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14726" /></a></p>
<p>5. Vampire Knight (Guilty)<br />
The most spoken anime series in the blog by me. Sure, they either cut away or changed some parts from the manga, it was sure very interesting in the end (Except with all the emo going on within Zero.) Kaname still wet my socks anyways. First season sucks and goes too fast, second season gets better but it&#8217;s moving too slow. Too bad I won&#8217;t get to see Kaien meeting with Juuri before that. Music for first season got my pants wet with urine, but it gradually improves for the second season that the Rondo sounds a lot like a rondo, and ED finally has a proper ending, unlike the first one.</p>
<p>Note: Rido is bad at raping lolis, especially the Kuran Princess.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/soul_eater.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/soul_eater.jpg" alt="" title="soul_eater" width="500" height="280" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14739" /></a></p>
<p>4. Soul Eater<br />
I found the plot interesting, despite being a little complex with all the commotion going on when the series goes on to infiltrate Baba Yaga&#8217;s castle and face on Archane with Medusa ganging up with the Shibusen students. Also, not only the plot interest me, the characters too leave a good impression in my mind. Right now I&#8217;m not watching the show because up till now, it shows everything that is in the manga. I&#8217;ve heard that one of the recent episodes is an anime original (Save for the Excalibur jokes for later.), so I might pick it up again if I had the time. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/to_aru_majutsu_no_index.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/to_aru_majutsu_no_index.jpg" alt="" title="to_aru_majutsu_no_index" width="500" height="282" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14725" /></a></p>
<p>3. To Aru Majutsu no Index</p>
<p>The last series I have picked up before 2008 ends. I was just bored with my boring life with boring stuff getting in my way when I decide to pop any random episode of To Aru Majutsu no Index into the screen. And boy I got hooked! (Again) The animation was awesome, the story was interesting, the characters are hilarious and aren&#8217;t too extreme in any ways. But in my opinion, I had a liking on Misaka rather than the female lead, Index. If you don&#8217;t agree with me with that, then that&#8217;s too bad. Just check the story out and believe me, it leaves you wanting the next episode to arrive.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/skip_beat.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/skip_beat.jpg" alt="" title="skip_beat" width="481" height="358" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14724" /></a></p>
<p>2. Skip Beat!<br />
Sometimes when I feel low or when I feel exhausted after a day out (Either school or leisure), first thing I did was to press the right buttons and watch this absolutely hilarious series. It was only Impz who decides to write this series that got me intrigued. Originally I think this show won&#8217;t go any further because of it&#8217;s very &#8216;90 character design and silly plot but after watching a few episodes, I got hooked all of a sudden and waited for the next episode in anticipation. The only problem I have is that episode 10 has too many chibi faces so I hope Hal Film Maker (The studio working on this series) could cut down just a little on the amounts of chibi faces shown in Skip Beat! Check out and you see what I mean. </p>
<p>Ready for the top anime in my list, it&#8217;s&#8230;(Drum rolls)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/eve_no_jikan.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/eve_no_jikan.jpg" alt="" title="eve_no_jikan" width="481" height="270" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14723" /></a></p>
<p>1. Time of Eve (Eve no Jikan):<br />
Let&#8217;s face it. Eve no Jikan is over the top, for me, I guess. With all the unusual theme the studio set on and the characters&#8217; personality being realistic, I think Time of Eve gains my attention when I first browsed on anime series in Crunchyroll. Then when they had Time of Eve on the website, I thought it would be another robot anime series. But boy, after the 1st episode ended, it kept me wanting more and it&#8217;s so much different from other anime series (It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve been trying to find for a long time.). Right now, only the first half of the series is out (Episodes 1 to 3, episode 4 will be arriving in Spring 2009) and unfortunately we have to wait every 2 months for an episode to be released to the public (The only fault I&#8217;ve found out, but it&#8217;s worth waiting). So viewers, if you haven&#8217;t watch it, I highly recommend you to watch this series. You will never feel the same for anime again after watching this wonderful series. It brings you another perceptive to see what is the future like, treating androids like everyday tools and all that. It makes you think about things for a second in your busy lives.</p>
<p>Sorry I did not name other good anime like Code Geass (Apparently I have a great dislike after some time), Macross Frontier (I only like the music, rest of the stuff was mediocre to me), Strike Witches (I have a great dislike with fanservice that shows panties etc., did I mentioned that twice?), kure-nai (I truly like the show, but not appealing enough), Kuroshitsuji (I hate it how the show drifted from the manga after the Jack the Ripper arc) or Kannagi. If you aren&#8217;t on my side, I can&#8217;t stop you. I personally think the short-listed ones are really good. I would miss writing all these when I&#8217;m gone, there won&#8217;t be any girls left (Well Briar is on hiatus and 13Sugars only pops out of nowhere occasionally to write her posts). Don&#8217;t worry (For those who are reading this), it&#8217;s not a quit post. I&#8217;ll be back very soon after my paper ends in Fall 2009 but my love for anime/manga/video games will stay stagnant in my heart always. So farewell, everyone (Including my supporters) </p>
<p>THAT Blog will be dominated by boys for now. Wait till I come back from papers, and see what I can do to them. Hahaha&#8230; So, see you in 11 months.</p>

<p align="center"><em>The world ain&#8217;t beautiful at all, Yuki dear. Economic recession is severe: IT&#8217;S THE END OF THE WORLD!</em></p>
<p><strong>Warning: This episodes contains NO information that follows the manga. The last two episodes of Vampire Knight Guilty are all original anime episodes. Seems that Vampire Knight will not be showing a 3rd season after the last episode airs on 30th December 2008, a.k.a. the 2nd last day of 2008 in Japan. So, faithful manga followers, choose carefully if you are willing to read this post with something fresh and new. Nothing like the sweet, refreshing original anime episode in Vampire Knight anime history. To THAT bloggers, readers and other anime blogger out there, have a Merry Christmas to all. Enjoy the post and relax for this festive occasion.</strong></p>
<p>Note: Read it, at your own risk. Spoilers alert. And the End of the World part is true, as it&#8217;s the title of this episode: If you haven&#8217;t realized.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-02.jpg" alt="" title="12-02" width="482" height="359" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14708" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Ruka&#8217;s right. Yuki should stay at home and keep her door shut to everyone around her. BRING ON THE SCYTHE!</em></p>
<p>What? No Artemis scythe? C&#8217;mon, people. I want to see her swing that blade of hers instead of shooting lowlife vampires with a mini-pistol. WHY? Artemis: With lotsa love. Mini-pistol: GO AWAY! Yuki is so fortunate that she has vampire companions on her side, or she&#8217;ll be prey of Rido Kuran right away at this very critical moment. Too bad Kaname is still watching this fight as if he had this multi-large plasma screen back home and enjoying his popcorn and sweets while his comrades does all this dirty work for him. I know you can&#8217;t finish off Rido, but HELP THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED! At least contribute, kill random Level E vampires, so-and-so.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-03.jpg" alt="" title="12-03" width="480" height="360" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14709" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>You ran out of bullets? Vampires make you look like a suckish loser when they interfere. You need a sword or some other melee weapons, dammit.</em></p>
<p>Those vampires created secretly by the Hunters Association seriously needs better clothes. Humans = Plain, ordinary and ugly people. Vampires = Exceptionally super ultra duper uber beautiful immortals. That is what the show is telling us. Vampires look down on humans, humans hunt and kill them because of it. Especially when they draw Yuki like some kind of queen with long hair and smooth skin. Oh, not to forget, Zero is drawn even uglier and 500% emo than before. But I think it&#8217;s so true after all, after cross-referencing on other vampire fiction.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-04.jpg" alt="" title="12-04" width="481" height="359" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14710" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>They look more like savage cavemen to me.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-05.jpg" alt="" title="12-05" width="481" height="360" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14711" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>The coolness of Kaien Cross, the heartless vampire hunter.</em></p>
<p>Before those vampires start killing vampires who kill vampires and humans, our superhero Kaien Cross comes to Yuki and Yagari&#8217;s aid. With the &#8216;I stay here and kill monsters. Go and fight the boss of the story since you are the main character of the story&#8217; situation in the story, the fight starts all over again, killing swarms and armies of former human vampires in the war torn battlefield in school. Where are all the Day Class students, by the way? TIME TO END THE HUNTER ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT&#8217;S LIFE!!!! IT&#8217;S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!!!</p>
<p>Yuki (Calling out for Kaien as the others pulled her away): FATHER!!</p>
<p>Kaien: MY DAUGHTER!</p>
<p>Yuki: OTOU-SAN!!!! </p>
<p>Kaien: MY YUKI!</p>
<p>Yuki: FATHER!</p>
<p>Kaien: YUKI!</p>
<p>Yuki: FATHER!</p>
<p>Kaien: YUK-</p>
<p>Yagari and Night Class students: Okay, that&#8217;s it. Let&#8217;s go beat Rido into a pulp.</p>

<p align="center"><em>They laze around and do nothing. They are still kids, 10 years old in a teenage vampire&#8217;s body.</em></p>
<p>The downfall of the Hunter&#8217;s Association President has come. Bitch the shameless, dependent and selfish President. He should just die and sees himself crumble into pieces. No wonder Santa didn&#8217;t come to your house and drop presents for you. Instead, your will see your own demise and turn into sand instead of having eternal beauty for the rest of your life.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-07.jpg" alt="" title="12-07" width="479" height="357" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14713" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Why don&#8217;t you just fuck off and crumble? No one, not even your hunter comrades will be visiting your grave when you die. Who cares about beauty anyways, you cross-dressing&#8212;What am I saying? It&#8217;s Christmas, right? Erm, have a happy Christmas in the Afterlife?</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-08.jpg" alt="" title="12-08" width="480" height="358" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14714" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Final Boss of Vampire Knight: Rido Kuran, the &#8216;almighty&#8217; pure blood.</em></p>
<p>Meanwhile, as Yuki, Ruka, Kain, Aido and Seiren are running as fast as possible to get to Rido quickly, our favorite couple Shiki and Rima are strolling like all they care, making it seem like fighting Rido is going to be a piece of cake. I really want the Black Forest cake, and the Pocky too. Rido uses his army of minions and trap those Night Class nobles, seducing them to suck their blood so that they will win the war. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-09.jpg" alt="" title="12-09" width="482" height="357" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14715" /></a></p>

<p align="center"><em>AT LAST, THE ARTEMIS SCYTHE; THE ULTIMATE WEAPON OF THE CENTURY!</em></p>
<p>While showing off her new weapon, the soldiers that participate in the war starts to fear Yuki, the Kuran Princess and ran out of Cross Academy before they knew it. After they knew Santa&#8217;s not going to give them any presents, they are so scared that their names are going to be in Santa&#8217;s &#8216;Naughty&#8217; list, they gave up, ran for their lives and die peacefully with the Ass-ociation&#8217;s President. Zero comes to Yuki&#8217;s rescue before Rido attempts to rape her.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-12.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-12.jpg" alt="" title="12-12" width="479" height="357" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14718" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>OMG! He&#8217;s going to rape Yuki! No, Rido no! Santa&#8217;s put your name on the &#8216;Naughty&#8217; List. Bad boy.</em></p>
<p>Kaname, who acts as the Santa Claus of the day falls from Asato&#8217;s chimney before putting sticks and cheap coals into his stockings. Agreed with Kaname &#8216;Santa&#8217; Kuran words, his grandson, Takuma Ichijo takes his Christmas present: A real katana before inviting to his first and final showdown at his grandfather. &#8216;Santa&#8217; then runs away from the fight and goes to many more houses to deliver more presents (And sticks and cheap coals to those naughty kids, like Rido).</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-13.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12-13.jpg" alt="" title="12-13" width="482" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14719" /></a></p>

<p align="center"><em>To shoot or not to shoot, that is the question. Oh look, &#8216;Santa&#8217; gave me more presents than you, Rido. A gun and blood of my twin brother! So I shall win!!!!</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>CLIFFHANGER! I will unleash my ultimate weapon!!!</em></p>
<p>So with only the last episode airing on the 30th December 2008, it seems that the ending will have some loose ends unexplored unlike the manga and leave some things hanging like the way it is. I would like to see how Zero, Yuki and Kaname&#8217;s going to fight Rido, 3 of them V.S. 1 of him. I don&#8217;t expect for any 3rd season to come and if they do, then it would be rather surprising since I will be away from T.H.A.T. for about 11 months when 2009 arrives. So I won&#8217;t be able to write if there is an unexpected 3rd season popped out like bubble all of a sudden.  </p>

<p align="center"><em>Kaname Kuran is just lazying around, only watching the battle from afar and not save Yuki and Zero from their disastrous states. He enjoys war very much, just like the way his uncle Rido is doing right now.</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not making this post really long today. As you can see Christmas and the New Year are getting closer now, and I need to spend a little time off with my family to celebrate the festivals. In addition, I&#8217;m extremely busy now that my 2-week break without any distractions has come to a close. It&#8217;s just Zero getting all angsty and hallucinating that his &#8216;Yuki&#8217; from his own imagination is still the same sweet, innocent human he&#8217;d always knew. Ahh&#8230;Rido&#8230;he loves sucking blood of cute but stupid little lolis&#8230;</p>
<p><em>And pictures seen are used with credit and courtesy from Crunchyroll (And thus the watermark on top of every picture.)</em></p>
<p></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-02.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-02" width="447" height="333" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14598" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>OMG, Zero&#8217;s HAND!!!! It&#8217;s mutated!</em></p>
<p>Back in prison, Zero could feel his hand deteriorating as he has not sucked blood for days, or hours, whatever how long before Yagari and Kaien left that poor boy inside his cage. Ichiru entered the cell, took the Bloody Rose and pulled the trigger at his brother&#8230;.oh no, he didn&#8217;t. Hurray for those who are screaming at this scene right now, the bloody but important scene was left out. I wonder if the DVD will uncensored this scene, I hope there are no cuts or else I&#8217;ll thrash the disk out, break it into tiny pieces and make whichever channels broadcasting the show bankrupt, or start a major riot. Speaking of riots, there&#8217;s one in Spain, another one in Thailand obviously and the list goes on&#8230;  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-03.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-03" width="449" height="331" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14599" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>The two lovers eventually meet. Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty. How typical.</em></p>
<p>While Zero and Ichiru are getting along with their brotherly relationships, Prince Shiki has come to save Princess Rima and instead of a kiss, he gave his darling princess&#8230;POCKY? They had their small talks on the situation in Cross Academy without realizing that their friends are fighting with all their might (With cheesy, badly drawn moves) to fend off those minions Rido-sama send to kidnap little girls and suck their blood. Is it time for me to cry, yes it is. WAHHH!!!!</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-04.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-04" width="450" height="330" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14600" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>You have some blood on your chin. It&#8217;s so unsightly, please drink it off.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-05.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-05" width="450" height="331" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14601" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>And yes, the President of the Association is gay. And no, he&#8217;s not that person you think from Saiunkoku Monogatari. (I don&#8217;t even know what the show was about, I don&#8217;t bother to watch it, sorry.)</em></p>
<p>Meanwhile, back at the Academy, the <del datetime="2008-12-18T07:51:34+00:00">fucking bastard cross-dressing</del> Association&#8217;s President took a tour around the academy as he was lost and frighten that vampires will come and suck his filthy blood. So he coincidentally met Kaien when he had this crazy instinct of his and declare war on Cross Academy that all vampires in the Night Class, including Zero must be killed and slaughtered according to the laws of a vampire hunter no one bothers to read. Uber super duper awesome Kaien knew that the President has gone bonkers, unleashes his powerful sword and create holes on the concrete floor. And below the depths of the Night Class dorms, Rido is holding a blood brothel to have all the blood he wants before he make his big major entrance and create a genocide out of his vampire army. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-06.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-06" width="449" height="331" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14602" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Kaname Kuran make his &#8216;big&#8217; entrance. Just great.</em></p>
<p>Kaname does nothing, again, and continues rambling that Zero will be the one to kill Rido so that the &#8216;Sword will not budge&#8217; traumatic incident will not happen to him again while munching his popcorn on top of the roof. At least he must do something to help his fellow Night Class comrades and aid them in helping to reach Rido quickly before he starts a big massacre. And fuck, that part when Ichiru blast the Bloody Rose at Zero was cut off, damn you!! CURSE YOU!!! </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-07.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-07" width="449" height="330" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14603" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Twinest moments, anyone?</em></p>
<p>All these twincest moments again, one word. WOW. It did mentioned Ichiru&#8217;s grudge as being inferior compared to Zero in terms of health and the skills to become a great vampire hunter. At this point of time, I can&#8217;t draw a line to see the differences between Zero and Ichiru when they were young. The same haircut, the same seiyuu&#8230;almost everything except that the colors of their pajamas are different (And that doesn&#8217;t help solve my problem to differentiate Zero from Ichiru, Ichiru from Zero.) The more I watched them in bed, the more I think they were kissing in bed without their parents watching after their sons. No, their mother came, read them bedtime stories before sending them to sleep.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-08.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-08" width="452" height="334" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14604" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>He looked in pain, no, all he need now is blood.</em></p>
<p>They kept on talking and talking how that Shizuka wasn&#8217;t at fault when she came to the Kiryuu Household that night 4 years ago as the list of vampires that gone berserk was changed by Rido purposely as Shizuka preferred a vampire who was formerly a human. Ichiru had took a stand against Rido as he tries to stab him, but it doesn&#8217;t work his way. He went on rambling that Shizuka was never mean to him and treated him as if Ichiru was her son. He plead for Zero to suck his blood and he was gone. Zero and Ichiru are now freed of the curse of the twin hunters as Zero climbed the stairs to fight against Rido and his army of minions&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-11-09.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-11-09" width="448" height="334" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14605" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>&#8230;and the curse ends. Oh no, a blood bath? (Plays dramatic music on the radio)</em></p>
<p>Only 2 episodes left until we&#8217;ll see what Zero and Yuki are going to pull off. Yuki, change your Artemis into a scythe, please? All that awaits now is to see a climatic ending pulled off as Yuki and Zero fight against Rido (And no deus ex machina, please, I&#8217;m begging you!). I&#8217;m mostly expecting an anime original ending for the series since the manga is still ongoing and we would have to wait for another 10 years for it to end (Just kidding); I doubt there&#8217;s going to be a 3rd season for Vampire Knight. 2 episodes left, what else is there to see for the Winter 2009 lineup? None, at least for me now I have no distractions other than the series I&#8217;m still watching from this season.</p>

<p align="center"><em>Lots of Kaien-w00tness this time! GO, KAIEN CROSS! (Takes out Book of well-deserved Bishies and add Kaien into the list.)</em></p>
<p>Are you excited? You can&#8217;t wait for Episode 10 to come out, then you are WRONG! The episode where you see lots of hawt action and progress is out! And before we go on (Beware Zero and Kaname fans who hate the both of them to be insulted by doing stupid things.), take a look at this video I&#8217;ve found a few days ago. I can&#8217;t believe Kaname and Zero would do that with Yuki. Just click the &#8216;Read More&#8217; button to watch the video.</p>
<p></p>
<p align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tan_2IlOTLU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tan_2IlOTLU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p align="center"><em>Epic. Zero and Kaname are doing ballet with Yuki in the spotlight alone. Moar Kaname ballet??</em></p>
<p>Just browsing some videos in Youtube until curiosity urges me to watch the video on Yuki doing the Caramel Dansen (If I&#8217;ve made a mistake on spellings just reply on the comments below after this post). Then after watching that video, another video was featured and I decided to take a look at it, until I saw Kaname and Zero doing ballet with Yuki together. Yeah, I was like &#8220;WTF?! Kaname and Zero are doing ballet? AMAZING!&#8221;</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14504" title="vkg-10-02" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-02.jpg" alt="" width="541" height="360" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Erm, Class Rep, I want my teddy bear back, so that I won&#8217;t be afraid of scary vampires and sneak into the Night Class to catch a glimpse at my favorite bishies!</em></p>
<p>Ahh&#8230;at least we&#8217;ve not forgotten the Class Rep in Yuki and Zero&#8217;s class with his antics again. Even this episode doesn&#8217;t follow the manga, in terms of location and minor changes where Yuki will meet Yori again. Plus, there&#8217;s no emergency shelter in the manga just so you know. But I found it awkward in the manga why there aren&#8217;t any emergency shelters in case of attacks from the Council or the Association.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-03.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14505" title="vkg-10-03" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-03.jpg" alt="" width="541" height="358" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Shizuka-sama, I love you. Come back to me. If not, I&#8217;ll drink poison and join you forever in the Netherworld. I love you, Shizuka-sama.</em></p>
<p>Meanwhile, Takuma takes Shiki away to the lobby, Ichiru stays to let Rido-sama to be awaken to take over the planet and one by one, vampires (who are formerly humans) began to attack helpless Day Class students and Yori, until the Night Class students came to their rescue and send them back to the emergency shelter. Poor Aido, he has to play Prince Charming twice to get Ruka&#8217;s shoes into Yuki&#8217;s foot again.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-04.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14506" title="vkg-10-04" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-04.jpg" alt="" width="541" height="358" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Erm&#8230;nice fighting stance! (Thumbs up.)</em></p>
<p>While the Night Class students protect the Day Class students from getting into more harm with Rido&#8217;s stupid minions, Yuki&#8217;s arrive in time to save Yori from the clutches of EVIL~ You&#8217;ve forgotten that you aren&#8217;t human anymore if you&#8217;re trying to use Artemis to protect anyone, Yuki Kuran.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-05.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14507" title="vkg-10-05" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-05.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="359" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>No Yuri moments. Just moments of friendship that will never be broken.</em></p>
<p>Aww&#8230; Zero is doing absolutely nothing to save Yuki but think of how Yuki will look like in his dreams. Must have played visual novel games behind of everybody, including Yuki and Kaname. When Yuki sleeps and Kaname attending lessons but instead of resting up, he takes the chance to plug his PS2 into the TV set and played until the sun rises.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-06.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14508" title="vkg-10-06" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-06.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="359" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Another cool Kaien moments. AND NO SMOKING IN SCHOOL PREMISES, YAGARI!</em></p>
<p>Man, Kaien looks so uber awesome to get his chance to kill more vampires again. And Yagari should know when to say the right words &#8217;cause Kaien is probably blushing like an apple and thinks of Juri at the same time Yagari is lecturing him to forget about Juri, Yuki and Zero. I think those people in the Association have low intelligence level or rather, low IQ. Why don&#8217;t they think about themselves instead of following that <del datetime="2008-12-11T07:57:03+00:00">bastard cross-dressing</del> Association President? They need to use their brains not to get in Yagari and Kaien&#8217;s ways and have suspicions against the President.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-07.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14509" title="vkg-10-07" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-07.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="360" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>The Association has a new threat to deal with.</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>Zero is still hallucinating his very own Yuki who dedicate to love him for the rest of his life. I think Zero plays too much Visual Novel games.</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>Nono, no yaoi moments. Friendship is the only thing that counts.</em></p>
<p>To make Yuki not to worry too much about Kaname, Aido has no choice but to make Yuki into a Sleeping Beauty and Kaname will have the chance to kiss Yuki in the end to wake her up. Then Yuki starts to see visions of Shizuka as Ichiru misses her so much.</p>
<p>Ichiru: I would love my Shizuka-sama until the very end. Maybe I should create a club called the &#8216;Love Shizuka-sama&#8217; Club after this chaotic situation ends.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not going to happen to Ichiru. Say your prayers, Ichiru.</p>

<p align="center"><em>The awakening of the <del datetime="2008-12-11T07:29:14+00:00">traitor lowlife</del> pureblood vampire, Rido Kuran-sama. (Drum rolls) </em></p>

<p align="center"><em>How do you know Yuki&#8217;s hungry. And you can&#8217;t even cook especially when you&#8217;re a Noble vampire who is born under a silver spoon. You&#8217;ll burn the entire place filled with Day Class students and your vampire mates after operating the stove with too much gas. (But your ice powers would help and you&#8217;ll be dead by then.)</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-13.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14515" title="vkg-10-13" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-13.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="359" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>That&#8217;s where Vampire Knight got its name from. Nice&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Zero and Yuki were playing puppet all along with Kaname since the beginning of the story. And I can still see Kaname still trying to stab Rido in his heart, but nothing seems to be working out properly.</p>
<p>Kaname (10 years later) :WHY?? WHY CAN&#8217;T I STAB THIS SWORD INTO YOUR HEART? WHY CAN&#8217;T THE SWORD EVEN BUDGE ONE BIT? (Struggling to get the sword to move)? WHY?</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-14.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14516" title="vkg-10-14" src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-10-14.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="358" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I don&#8217;t think a gun this size would work. Why not use Artemis and turn it into a scythe now?</em></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know Studio DEEN will pull it off with 3 episodes left to finish off Rido-sama and the manga still ongoing now. I hope they don&#8217;t pull off a deus ex machina because that would suck and the sales of Vampire Knight DVDs will fall if they do that. One possibility I had is they would make another season but that would take years to comply, given that there would be unforeseen circumstances going on with the economy currently. Or probably they would make another few more episodes not broadcast on television but as a DVD special to end the story off nicely. But we just have to wait for more news to come. After all, like Yuki mentioned in the omake, Volume 10 will probably take more than 6 months before getting published.</p>

<p align="center"><em>Let&#8217;s all bow down to the Kuran Princess everyone. We all fear Yuki Kuran.<br />
Yuki Kuran: FEAR ME! FOR NOW I AM A PUREBLOOD VAMPIRE!</em></p>
<p>The series I once dreaded again after Episode 7 comes to a close. Sees so much licking everywhere in this week&#8217;s episode, not intended for the kiddies to read this posts. You have been warned (Of course with spoilers everywhere.). Now we shall go back to the life and times of the students living in Cross Academy, with Rido around sucking little Day Class lolis&#8217; blood.</p>
<p>Note: I have a really hard time watching this episode due to (some) sexual innuendos in the show. So pardon me if I write anything wrong with this week&#8217;s episode. Kiddie beware. Spoilers inside. I apologize that I did not post the review of Episode 8 last week, because my systems in my PC got messed up and waited for my brother to come back to settle this problem. I got a really bad word-lashing from my brother since then.</p>
<p>Note to self: Do not read chapter 45 of Vampire Knight (Manga) before watching episode 8 of VKG. This will ruin the awesomeness on how Kaien met Juri for the first time.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Episode 8 Impressions:</strong></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-02.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-02" width="480" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14360" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Loli Yuki when she was 5 back then. Lol.</em></p>
<p>(Pardon me for my rants) YOU BUNCH OF SUCKERS! How dare you cut out so much parts for Yuki&#8217;s past??? I really want to see Juri making fun of her little Yuki, and Studio DEEN just have to cut that out. I wish for more screen time for both Haruka and Juri (Yuki and Kaname&#8217;s parents), moar screen time!!! But Rido-sama just have to kick himself into the show and slaughtered them into hundreds of pieces. Parts from the manga are only fragments everywhere in this episode so it&#8217;s up for you to interpret which parts are from which chapters.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-03.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-03" width="482" height="358" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14361" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I SHALL KILL RIDO-SAMA RIGHT NOW! HE WILL DIE UNDER THE HANDS OF THE KURANS!</em></p>
<p>So Yuki grew up living only in her basement with no windows; only paintings, nice walls and her family living in the house. Her family peace was shattered when Rido decides to attack Haruka and Juri to make Yuki her sacrifice, which I was surprised when Rido only mentioned it in the manga and not the anime. Haruka and Kaname deals with Rido, while Juri takes Yuki away, losing her life when she seal Yuki&#8217;s vampire attributes and thus unable to remember anything 10 years ago. I was surprised both in the manga and anime that Yuki could still act so normal without even going outside for 5 years. If I was wearing Yuki&#8217;s shoes back then, I could gone cuckoo and get bored easily, looking at the same walls and painting over and over again.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-04.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-04" width="481" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14362" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>You seriously can&#8217;t hurt little human girls, Rido-sama. You can&#8217;t otherwise Ruka and Kain will be calling the police and nab you of prostitution, sucking clueless Day Class girls&#8217; blood. I know that they are very tasty.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-05.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-05" width="483" height="355" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14363" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Ruka&#8217;s jealous&#8230;wait, she needs a new boyfriend!</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-06.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-06" width="480" height="359" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14364" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>You are not Shiki, how dare you attack my Shiki? He&#8217;s mine, all mine. Give my Shiki back, Rido whatsoever you name is!</em></p>
<p>Everyone was surprised that Yuki&#8217;s a vampire. But I&#8217;m not. Because that was so predictable, whether if you have read the manga or not. But I think the part when Rido talks about Yuki&#8217;s awakening was too fast. I didn&#8217;t really catch what he was talking about. Man, this makes me want to drop this series right now, but with all the overwhelming responses I was given I shall continue (Audiences applause).</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-07.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-07" width="482" height="357" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14365" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Hey, Yuki. Why are your eyes so red? Sore eyes? Red contact lenses? That would cost a fortune, more than what you can afford when to attend college.</em></p>
<p>Thought that scene when Yuki sucks Kaname&#8217;s blood looks as if they are making love. Nope. And I would like to congratulate (It&#8217;s a pretty late encouragement but at least I&#8217;m thoughtful) Zero&#8217;s seiyuu that he got married at a tender age of 25 (Talk about early marriage for a seiyuu) and expecting a child very soon after confessing that he is infertile for that moment. I&#8217;m still wondering what his wife looks like (back to the expecting-the-child thing) and probably they used artificial fertilization methods to have a child? Enough of trivial matters already, I shall go back to my review of VKG and not get out of topic. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-08.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-08" width="478" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14366" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Yuki sucked her brother&#8217;s blood, or are they making babies?</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-08-09.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-08-09" width="480" height="358" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14367" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>How could you do this to my perfect model body?? I still have work next week to Paris, but you are lucky that I&#8217;m a vampire. I am able to heal my own wounds but you won&#8217;t get away this time, Whoever-you-are taking over my Shiki&#8217;s body.</em></p>
<p>So I was pretty bored with this episode. Real bored. Off to the next one.</p>
<p><strong>Episode 9 Impressions:</strong></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-01.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-01.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-01" width="479" height="329" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14368" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Why must they hate each other all because Yuki is a vampire now? Kaname Kuran, it&#8217;s all your fault!</em></p>
<p>I think Kaname is being a little selfish when it comes to the relationship between Zero and Yuki. Sure, he wants to prevent Rido from getting closer to Yuki and does that all for her sake, including Juri and Haruka. Now you make Zero 400% more emo than ever from this point onwards. If you hate Yuki now, Zero, you still have your fangirls&#8217; and my support! (Hugs chibi-Zero who looks pretty irritated.) And yeah, this scene shown above has more emphasized in the anime than in the manga. So this episode is not as bad as the previous one. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-02.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-02" width="483" height="329" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14369" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Aido Hanabusa: The Prince Charming<br />
Yuki Kuran: Cinderella, as the clock strikes midnight.</em></p>
<p>This chase scene reminds me of the fairy tale Cinderella (If anyone doesn&#8217;t have a clue what the story is about, go jump into a well. Now.). Aido is acting as Cinderella&#8217;s Prince Charming and Yuki as Cinderella dressed up as a princess getting out of the royal palace as the clock strikes midnight. But in this version of Cinderella, Prince Charming manages to catch up with Cinderella and the leather/glass/fabric/whatever material it&#8217;s made of shoe fits in. So Prince Charming Aido and Cinderella Yuki married and lived happily after. No, that did not happen. When Kaname is in charge of everything that&#8217;s happening. He would kill Aido off by then and claim the throne as his.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-03.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-03" width="480" height="332" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14370" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Now you have it. All the vampires regard you as royalty because of your pure blood status as a vampire.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-04.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-04" width="481" height="330" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14371" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Zero (State in Episode 1 of 1st series until episode 7 of 2nd series) : 250% emo<br />
Zero (State from Episode 8 of 2nd season until now.): 650% emo than ever. </em></p>
<p>Must&#8230;make&#8230;Zero&#8230;less&#8230;emo&#8230;make him&#8230;love me&#8230;that&#8217;s not going to happen anyway. Geez. Zero, snap out of it immediately! Yuki needs you! The Day Class students needs you! Oh boy, but at least he&#8217;s not as bad as Shinji Ikari who mops around thinking that he is useless, nobody wants him, he&#8217;s worthless and everyone hates him and yet still rides an uber awesome Eva.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-05.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-05" width="477" height="327" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14372" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Kaien looks so suave&#8230;I want to marry a guy like him. (Faints with blood flowing out of her nose.)</em></p>
<p>The moment I&#8217;ve been waiting for. Kaien puts an end to his humorous antics and decides to get serious. Slowly, he takes out his sword of awesomeness that kills evil vampires in one swift. (Notice I said evil vampires. <strong>EVIL</strong> vampires.)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-06.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-06" width="479" height="327" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14373" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Debutting&#8230;.RIDO KURAN-SAMA!</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-07.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-07" width="478" height="325" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14374" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Why the focus on the belly button? That tear on your shirt doesn&#8217;t even look good either.</em></p>
<p>Finally Rido-sama shows his face for the first time (Or not) and wanting to taste every single member of the Kuran family&#8217;s blood. But Kaname is unable to kill Rido. </p>
<p>Kaname: I can&#8217;t kill him. (Tries stabbing his heart but the sword didn&#8217;t budge). WHY? WHY CAN&#8217;T I KILL THIS DAMN LOWLIFE VAMPIRE??</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-08.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-08" width="481" height="327" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14375" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Setsuna? (From Gundam 00?)</em></p>
<p>Setsuna from Gundam 00. Lol. Like this would ever happen. Kaname is too &#8216;ecstatic&#8217; to be like Setsuna.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vkg-09-09.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-09-09" width="481" height="328" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14376" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Traitor! Bastard! You Mother****ing cross-dresser! All because of your selfish and petty reasons!</em></p>
<p>At last, the traitor came, working with Takuma&#8217;s grand-daddy to revive their Rido-sama. No wonder Kaien and Yagari holds a grudge on you; you failed to convince Kaien and Yagari on your side. Haha, and Kaien and Yagari are fighting against your army of confused vampire hunters (in chapter 45). Be prepare to lose this war, you cross-dressing traitor! And now you made Zero more emo and no matter what anyone said, he will be stuck in his own fantasy world for the rest of his life. </p>
<p>Man, I had so much fun writing the post for episode 9 (I did not enjoy writing the post for episode 8 and that leads to my procrastination. But it&#8217;s not my fault since the computer&#8217;s system got messed up) and we have come this far with 4 more episodes to go. I wonder what will happen to the story, as the manga is still ongoing at the moment. Let&#8217;s see how it ends at the end of the season and hope that it won&#8217;t be disappointing for both manga followers like me and the faithful anime followers watching the series all this while. Let&#8217;s hope Zero won&#8217;t be so emo by then. </p>

<p align="center"><em>Yes, YES! The day has finally come!!!! I&#8217;ve been waiting for years for this day to appear!</em></p>
<p>YES!!! At last! The true climax of the series! I&#8217;ve been waiting like&#8230;forever for this day to come!</p>
<p>Massive spoilers ahead. Read it, at your own risk.</p>

<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-01.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-01.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-01" width="478" height="357" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14155" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>It hurts so badly that Zero removes the stake that pierces into his heart, waiting to dismantle you when the time comes.</em></p>
<p>I thought this episode would never come, but things are getting exciting to this point. No more draggy episodes and progress, sunshine to the truth of everything and killing Rido-sama into the depths of his (Bloodstained) coffin. Oh, I forgot, vampires hate sunlight. Sorry I took a long time to get this post done, so much work to do at the realm of suffering which we call &#8216;The Real World&#8217;. Kudos to the awesomeness Shiki who looked so much cooler before his father possessed his body. Beware, you&#8217;re going to see massive Shiki (Rido) uber awesomeness at almost every screen shots I&#8217;ve taken.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-03.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-03" width="477" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14156" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Presenting, the Secret Society of the Vampire Rejects, gathering in the forest to assassinate the tyrant of the Secret Society of the Top Vampires mafias in the block.</em></p>
<p>Rido-sama has arrived in Cross Academy, possessing his son (Shiki)&#8217;s body to meet Kaname and unknown purposes to <del datetime="2008-11-16T21:20:18+00:00">kidnap</del> do something with Yuki. The other vampires from the Night Class, noticeably Idol-senpai (Wrong spelling intended), Kain and Rima who thinks things are getting stranger in the Academy. And for once, I praise Studion DEEN to take off one of the most boring chapters in the manga &#8217;cause it doesn&#8217;t make so much impact on the storyline itself. I&#8217;m so happy that they cut that part entirely. I&#8217;m so happy. Also they decide not to think too much of the budget for this wonderful episode.  And who knows, Rido might be the next Ali Al Sareshes in the block. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-04.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-04" width="477" height="350" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14157" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I didn&#8217;t know that Rido would hurt girls. And hurting girls is wrong, you wretched vampire!</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-05.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-05" width="478" height="352" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14158" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Yay! Kain to the rescue!!!</em></p>
<p>Rido-sama, who thinks he&#8217;s king in the entire Night Class now thinks he could push anyone around, not even letting Ruka off to lament why Kaname chose Yuki instead of her. Be glad I never called her any names in the series before. It might be a reason I rather tease Kaname than poor little Ruka who was helplessly struggling to get Shiki/Rido off her wrist.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-06.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-06" width="480" height="355" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14159" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I foresee Kaname trampled by wild zebras in the middle of the plains in Africa, and then Zero coming up to me, cooking such nice breakfast and treating me really nice. I thought I was the one having the hallucinations. Aido come up to me and confess that he was jealous of me and wants to be my slave for the rest of my life. Rido&#8230;well&#8230;Rido should go ahead and suck people&#8217;s blood. It&#8217;s none of my business anyways.</em></p>
<p>So the &#8216;hunters&#8217; wait, patiently waiting for the right moment to strike on the wild animals in the middle of the plains in Africa. Finally, the Lion of the team came, ready to spark a war between the Lions and the Horses (Don&#8217;t worry, the Horses has equipped themselves with armor and if any of the Lions have any idea after biting the Horses, they have to make an appointment with a dentist to get a pair of dentures. Kaname strikes, Rido ready to kiss Kaname&#8217;s ass goodbye. The war has started.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-07.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-07" width="478" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14160" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em> SMASH THE COFFIN!</em></p>
<p>GO GO Ichiru! SMASH THE COFFIN! This coffin looks so good to smash with just a warhammer in his hands.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-08.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-08" width="477" height="352" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14161" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Yes&#8230; I was the one who murdered Zero, Sir.</em></p>
<p>Yuki is back with her bloody hallucinations, again. This time is serious; one moment she sees blood everywhere in the room, the next she sees blood on the rose washed with resin. But everything is just fake, all fake. Then she saw Zero knocking on the door, tried to strangle our poor emo Zero and pin him on the floor like a criminal. With disastrous results.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-09.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-09" width="477" height="355" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14162" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I can imagine what boys would think after seeing this. Oh. Boy.</em></p>
<p>What&#8217;s with that posture anyway? Bad. Yuki. Bad.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-10.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-10.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-10" width="478" height="352" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14163" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Liar. Yuki, you are such a bad liar.</em></p>
<p>Anyone, even a retard could even see through your words. Whipping up a bad lie is bad for you. But moving on, Kaname rescued her, the damsel in distress imprisoned in the top of the dragon&#8217;s castle and take her away. Zero have no choice but to take 30 minutes of his time to climb up the dorms and announced that he wants to kill both Yuki and Kaname at the top of the roof.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-11.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-11.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-11" width="473" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14164" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>The reawakening of the Kuran Princess.</em></p>
<p>Kaname put his fangs for the first time in Yuki&#8217;s neck, she starts to transform and her human side of her body got cast away when her new vampire body takes over. Zero screams &#8216;NOOOOOO&#8217;, falling into the depths of his own emo crazed mind. Now he believes that fairytales are never true. Kaname gives him a smirk, confessing himself at the victor of the love-Yuki championship. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-12.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-12.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-12" width="479" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14165" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Now, class, we shall take a look what your body in the circulatory system is made up of. First of all, as you know, we humans/vampires have red blood cells in our body&#8230;</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-13.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-13.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-13" width="478" height="357" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14166" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>KILL! KILL! KILL!</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-14.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-14.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-14" width="476" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14167" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>He&#8217;s&#8230;my&#8230;elder&#8230;brother&#8230;And&#8230;I&#8230;love&#8230;him&#8230;so&#8230;badly&#8230;</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-15.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-07-15.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-07-15" width="473" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14168" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I wish I was Yuki&#8217;s real brother. Maybe I should believe in fairytales from now on.</em></p>
<p>You&#8217;re right, you aren&#8217;t really Yuki&#8217;s brother in the first place. I don&#8217;t know why Japanese people are fond of incent nowadays, I mean, it&#8217;s so&#8230;gross and it makes my skin crawl. I know it&#8217;s for The Reason (See info for next episode) but I still think incent is wrong in my own set of morals. Why, incent, why? But it&#8217;s great to see this episode this refreshing, after months of waiting for this day to come. I&#8217;m still expecting Ichiru to crush that coffin up, it looks so attractive to smash it. Blood oozed out of the coffin, and it would turn out to be&#8230;strawberry jam.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-01.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-01.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-01" width="478" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14019" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Your wish is granted. DIE!</em></p>
<p>Yes!!! No more bloody hallucinations! Instead, we are taken a step further to reveal Yuki&#8217;s true nature, whether she&#8217;s human or vampire in this week&#8217;s episode. Goodbye, hallucinations, hello to fragments of past flashbacks, if only they do not use the same trick over and over again in today&#8217;s episode. Once again, Reverse Vampire is here to stay! I&#8217;ll be going to a Singapore anime convention two weeks from now, and if you can find me, well, good luck. </p>
<p></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/v9omake2.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/v9omake2-481x800.jpg" alt="" title="v9omake2" width="481" height="800" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14032" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>There, we have the generic shounen series with fillers invading a good show. Here, we have the generic shoujo series, with 50% more Super Saiyan coming up.</em></p>
<p>Yuki&#8217;s going to be killed by doing this. Oh well, she seems she wants a death wish after all. How sad.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-02.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-02" width="480" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14020" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Yuki&#8217;s mother? Carrying Yuki?</em></p>
<p>We have a glimpse on Yuki&#8217;s mother? Wasn&#8217;t she Kaname&#8217;s mother? Ok, that&#8217;s a little confusing (Even though I knew who she really is.). A clue to Kaname and Yuki&#8217;s relationship, we&#8217;ll see. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-03.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-03" width="478" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14021" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I AM YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW, IF YOU DECIDES TO MARRY YUKI. But of course Yuki&#8217;s my adopted daughter&#8230;so what do you want me to do? Ah, I&#8217;ll kill you if you break Yuki&#8217;s heart as a vampire hunter.</em></p>
<p>So Yuki has awoken some of her lost memories kept within her heart in this episode. She&#8217;s been experiencing nightmares too frequently, and her screams woke Yori (Yuki&#8217;s dorm mate and friend) up, asking what&#8217;s wrong. Yuki confessed that she has a headache before they dress up in their uniforms and left for classes for the day. Yuki insists that she&#8217;s fine (I don&#8217;t think so). So she whipped a white lie at Yori, sees Zero&#8230;and a group of Night Class students waiting for her arrival. (I really want servants to serve me if I decide to be a rich man&#8217;s wife one day, and they really do whatever I order anything, and I mean ANYTHING.)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-04.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-04" width="479" height="357" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14022" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Oh shit, I really want them to be my servants for the rest of my life. That would be so frekin&#8217; awesome. Vampires serving me, a Reverse Vampire.</em></p>
<p>Blah. Blah. Blah. Noble&#8217;s pride and vampire stuff; all you can think up to get closer and <del datetime="2008-11-04T19:37:04+00:00">kill/rape</del> look after Yuki. Oh man, Kaname. You are one spoilt pureblood vampire. Any human or vampire are willing to give in to you at almost everything. What if&#8230;the &#8216;One&#8217; is back, hunting after you? (Can see people who are against Kaname giving him a glare behind his back.) Is it me or Yuki is having such bad health in today&#8217;s episode? Hmm&#8230;this gives way to the episode that brings up to the climax once and for all.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-05.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-05" width="479" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14023" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Or are they Yuki&#8217;s stalkers???</em></p>
<p>Ichiru whipped up another white lie to Aidou to get medicine, his chance to visit Yuki in the infirmary (I wish I could do that, but there&#8217;s no infirmary in my school. This stinks.) </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be waiting for Ruka&#8217;s true character to shine. Her character&#8217;s got to be better than this. Sooner or later, I&#8217;ll be seeing her protecting the people she both like and dislike (Mostly the Day Class students who idolize her Kaname-sama). Right now, she moans, complains and yells at the changes happening inside her body, perhaps puberty.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-06.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-06" width="479" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14024" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Looks like Ruka&#8217;s jealous that Kaname prefers Yuki to her. OMG, so emo.</em></p>
<p>Aidou looked happy when Kaname praised him of taking such good care of Yuki. If Kaname loves Yuki very much, why not attend to her when she needs him and not Aidou and the rest? I mean, you&#8217;ll do anything to please your boyfriend/girlfriend, yeah? Kaname is a big liar of the story after all. Bad vampire, Kaname, bad boy!!</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-07.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-07" width="477" height="351" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14025" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>It&#8217;s a ghost&#8230;no it&#8217;s a woman&#8230;no IT&#8217;S KAIEN WITH A FACE MASK!</em></p>
<p>Got the shock of my life when I saw Kaien with a face mask. OMFG, he&#8217;s&#8230;vain!</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-08.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-08" width="480" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14026" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Things are going smoother for Yuki and Zero, until Aidou barge in like no one&#8217;s business.</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty idiotic for Aidou to just barge into a conversation between Yuki and Zero, where are your manners? I know it&#8217;s pretty urgent (Especially when it comes to Kaname&#8217;s orders) but can you just ask Zero nicely that Kaname wants to meet both Yuki and Zero outside the garden? I always thought that noble vampires have good manners, but after watching this episode, this leaves me skeptical about such things.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-09.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-09" width="479" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14027" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Man, you&#8217;re invading Yuki&#8217;s privacy. Not only you are rude, you are also shameless at almost anything! When it comes to Kaname you say yes at almost anything.</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>Vacation during school terms? Shit, this makes me wanna enter Cross Academy&#8217;s Night Class&#8230;</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-11.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-11.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-11" width="477" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14029" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Yagari, or Zero&#8217;s father/mother? If Yagari can cook, this episode is going to be epic!</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>Aww&#8230;Ichiru doesn&#8217;t like your soup, nor he wants to reconcile with his brother Zero. Oh well, can I have to soup then? </em></p>
<p>Just as I thought Zero and Ichiru wants to clear up the dense air between them, stupid, stupid, stupid Ichiru just have to think up of an excuse to avoid eating Kaien&#8217;s <del datetime="2008-11-04T19:37:04+00:00">deadly and poisonous</del> yummy tomato soup. This scene is perhaps an anime original, as in the manga this never even happens. Not at all. Oh well, I&#8217;ll have the soup all by myself.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-13.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-06-13.jpg" alt="" title="vkg-06-13" width="478" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14031" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>The main antagonist. Believe it, or not.</em></p>
<p>(Dramatic music rolls). Well, this episode is a little better this time. No more bloody hallucinations. Fragments of flashbacks rules! At least we get to see light of all things (And Zero being less emo, though I was pretty upset at him drinking Kaname&#8217;s blood twice.), situations got a little lively this time, save for Yuki&#8217;s headaches. Are you eager to find out who is behind everything, watch the next episode. Things are going to reveal this time&#8230;</p>

<p align="center"><em>BLOOD! BLOOD!</em></p>
<p>Ok, ok, ok. You guys win, all right? I&#8217;ll continue writing VKG till the series is over, since I had almost nothing to write for the Fall Season, especially when some of my favorite series this season has been taken by the other bloggers. I wouldn&#8217;t want to stop half-way, &#8217;cause I&#8217;ll feel uneasy doing things I like incomplete. So what do we have today&#8230;oh yeah, Ichiru arriving as a new student in Cross Academy (And he looks f***ing ugly with his hair tied like a sissy boy. Why don&#8217;t make Shizuka&#8217;s bell become your necklace, a bracelet, or something? </p>

<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/kiryuu-gay1.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/kiryuu-gay1.jpg" alt="" title="Let\&#039;s face it, Ichiru likes to dress up like a girl." class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13860" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>WTF?!</em></p>
<p>Before I get started, I came across an omake from a manga-viewing site, www.mangafox.com, that Zero is a&#8230;TRANSVESTITE? You gotta be kidding me, I&#8217;ll never let my Zero become a transvestite! Zero (Or Ichiru) dressing like a girl is so not Zelicious! (He looked so gay in the Cross Academy female uniform, WTF?!) I&#8217;ll make sure that Zero will hit his twin brother, who is a transvestite into a pulp, no&#8230;until he can&#8217;t stand up at his own feet! I hate you, Ichiru (Though I had sympathize you when you are close to death, he-he). Ahh, my poor Zero&#8230;fainting and throwing up what you ate for lunch. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-02.jpg" alt="" title="EAT ME UP!!" width="538" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13862" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Complete the sentence: EAT ME UP! </em></p>
<p>Yuki sees blood almost anywhere and everywhere in this episode. The words the inner Yuki whispered &#8216;I&#8217;m scared&#8217;, &#8216;There&#8217;s so much blood&#8217; and&#8217; The vampires are going to eat me up&#8217; starts to annoy me rather than establishing the climax of the story. I wish it stops and just go on continuously at the last few episodes of the series. That didn&#8217;t happen too much in the manga, though, if you&#8217;re asking me. Just get on with life until you are too afraid to do so. I know how you feel; scared, lonely and nervous, but as the world revolves around us, watch some kids&#8217; show to make yourself feel comfortable. I can see those crayons Elmo is taking to show toddlers how to draw a cat.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-03.jpg" alt="" title="Eww, Zero says...no." width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13863" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Zero: No, what is need is&#8230;<br />
<em>I only want Yuki&#8217;s blood<br />
And so is Kaname&#8217;s one<br />
Because they are so zelicious that your blood stinks<br />
So please stay away from my stint and let me be alone<br />
&#8216;Cause I only suck Yuki and Kaname&#8217;s blood&#8230;<br />
Go away!</em></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t give a damn for Zero to suck your blood, my apologies, Mr. Kaien Cross. You and Yuki are so persistent to &#8216;donate&#8217; blood readily to Zero. Do you want him to drain all your blood before you&#8217;re delight that Zero is able to drink your blood to satisfy his lust for blood? If you&#8217;re still not happy with the outcome Zero has given and you still want Zero to suck your blood, donate it to any blood donation organization. And yes, Zero only wants Yuki and Kaname&#8217;s blood, since he thinks it&#8217;s so Zelicious. Yuki&#8217;s having those bloody hallucinations again, I wish this ends soon. She&#8217;s so emo in the anime, compared to the manga where the hallucinations aren&#8217;t very frequent.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-04.jpg" alt="" title="Stupid inconsistence animation." width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13864" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Dang, why are you drawing my Zero like this??</em></p>
<p>Animation got a little off for this picture shown above. Thought it was Ichiru for a second(Hair&#8217;s pretty long at his bangs and the sides.), so animation is inconsistent in today&#8217;s episode. No, I should rephrase is that what ever series Studio DEEN&#8217;s has done, they are not consistent all the time. How I wish it was done by other studios, but let&#8217;s face it. Zero looks so charming when he comfort Yuki after she was unable to tell Kaname about the bloody hallucinations she has been confronting for the past episodes. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-05.jpg" alt="" title="At least not as much hate as 11 months ago" width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13865" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I hate you&#8230;and I still hate you, after I came into THAT speaking about your hate. But at least I&#8217;ve calm down and not as much hate you for what has happen over the past 11 months.</em></p>
<p>That is why I complained about this part. Zero is sucking Kaname&#8217;s blood, twice, and if this isn&#8217;t enough, might as well put something better and much more creepier to end for the previous season&#8217;s conclusion. Like the awakening of the main antagonist (I won&#8217;t be revealing his name, but at least you have a clue it&#8217;s a guy for those who are following the anime and does not want to find out about what really happen in the manga.), or something bad is about to happen in Cross Academy. Repeating the same stunt twice makes Reverse Vampire and other Vampire Knight fans roll our eyes with disappointment. Once is enough. Twice only make Vampire Knight fans avoid the entire series and read better vampire fiction novels, like the Twilight series. (Movie&#8217;s coming out in November 21) </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-06.jpg" alt="" title="Ripping dear Zero\&#039;s shirt" width="540" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13866" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>OMG, RAPE! YAOI, disgusting! (Anything you can come up with upon seeing this.)</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m starting to get bored over &#8216;eye-less&#8217; animation, stupid budget lazy animation. Let&#8217;s not go on into the rants of today&#8217;s episode, Zero, again, sucks Kaname&#8217;s blood as if it&#8217;s nobody&#8217;s business. Woot, Ichiru arrives in Cross Academy, with that sissy hairstyle. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-07.jpg" alt="" title="I serve Shizuka" width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13867" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I only serve Shizuka-sama, and no one else.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-08.jpg" alt="" title="Lonely, I\&#039;m so lonely, like poor Zero, he\&#039;s all alone" width="540" height="309" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13868" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Mmm&#8230;I&#8217;m hungry. I want to have fish right now&#8230;(mouth drooling over BBQ-ed fish.)</em></p>
<p>I wonder if there are any fire detectors in Cross Academy. Anything Kaien wants to cook or BBQ does not alert the fire detectors and what if there&#8217;s a real fire going on? Like Kain throwing fire balls at Shiki and Aido training their skills and accidentally burnt one of the buildings in Cross Academy? All humans (And vampires) will be dead by then, and the story will end abruptly. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s going to happen, let see now&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-09.jpg" alt="" title="That is where yaoi actually originated" width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13869" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Oh&#8230;for the sake of the Academy, more yaoi moments. Kaien X Yagari, that is so wrong!</em></p>
<p>Fat chance, that Zero will reconcile with Ichiru in the Academy, until somewhere in chapter 40 where something major happens to Zero and Ichiru&#8217;s life is at stake (For the sake of other fans of Vampire Knight who aren&#8217;t bother to read the manga.) Yes, Yagari loves cuttlefish, so he steals it from Kaien and eats them all the way to the Hunter&#8217;s Association. All the other Day Class girls are already flirting at Ichiru, after less than 2 hours in class, how dare they do this to my Zero-sama! And Ichiru, don&#8217;t think you have girls coming to your seat that you will marry one of them anytime, but you won&#8217;t be marrying neither any of them, since you will be dead&#8230;and there won&#8217;t be cake. Flirting with the Class President? Oh god, that is EPIC.  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-10.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/vkg-05-10.jpg" alt="" title="Sorry, Yuki is Zero\&#039;s girl now." width="537" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13870" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Sorry, Kaname. Yuki&#8217;s mine now. How dare you take my dear little Yuki away from me like this?</em></p>
<p>Man, you entrust Yuki in Zero&#8217;s care, and now you want her back? Boy, Kaname Kuran, a pureblood, it&#8217;s so hard for everyone, even your vampire classmates to please you and be happy for what you have. I want more progress, that&#8217;s the one thing I&#8217;m begging you, Studio DEEN. Zero&#8217;s down with so much bad luck today, I wonder things will change for the better for him&#8230;just that ZERO/or Ichiru CANNOT DRESS UP LIKE A GIRL AND MAKE PEOPLE THINK THAT BOTH TWINS ARE TRANSVESTITE!!!</p>
<p>No more cross-dressing please. The last thing I want to see is to see Kaname dress up as Yuki. That would be the most disastrous thing that will happen in Vampire Knight history. </p>

<p align="center"><em>Some dirty little secret you&#8217;re keeping. Pr0n?</em></p>
<p>Yes, after watching the 4th episode of VKG, it reminds me of an incident that ticks me off really mad. Let&#8217;s see&#8230;it happened last Sunday after my music lessons at my coach&#8217;s house and I was about to go home. Waiting for the lift for 8 minutes (Usually it doesn&#8217;t take more than that), I got so pissed off at those inconsiderate people using the lift going up and down, up and down&#8230; I had the same emotions when I watched this week&#8217;s episode, but at least there&#8217;s some progress. Those monologue talks between most of the characters, especially between Yuki and Zero are not making anything happen. Let&#8217;s get on with the boring, usual, disgusting gist of today&#8217;s episode, yawn! If this keeps up in the next episode, I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;ll drop this series and pick another series to go on. (Anyone wanting me to continue can sign a petition at the comments if you want to, and I might consider continuing it.)</p>
<p>  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-02.jpg" alt="" title="I lost! NOOOOOOO" width="537" height="309" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13675" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Don&#8217;t be surprised if he picked the right card, Rima.</em></p>
<p>In order to remember her past urgently, Yuki, Zero, Kaien and Yagari arrived at the Hunters&#8217; Association Quarters to check out the library if she finds anything related to her lost memories, if there&#8217;s any. Meanwhile, Shiki turned up at the Council, only to show his long-lost father hiding in the depths of the Council. Trouble then starts brewing when he saw a boy with a red eye on one and a blue eye on the other and his father awakened. Things don&#8217;t look smooth for Zero as he faced the reality that he is a vampire now and not a hunter by the Association Leader (Somehow irking Zero in the face). When flipped on one of the pages of the records that is related to Yuki&#8217;s lost memories, the page got burnt, perhaps someone who knows her is trying to stop her from remembering. (Plus the fact that she knew Kaien was a vampire hunter 16 years ago.) Standing firm, Yagari argues with a member of the Association that he was the innocent party of the party back in episode 2, but received some warning in the end and felt that the Association were hiding something from Yagari. Takuma then finds out about something that he should know about Shiki&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-03.jpg" alt="" title="I\&#039;m a housekeeper!" width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13676" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>So sorry to disturb you, my lady, I&#8217;m actually the housekeeper of the family and not your boyfriend&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s episode is just&#8230;.bloody, I tell you. You are just going to see blood, blood and more blood coming out from almost anywhere in this episode. Blood in the Council, blood in the bathtub, blood in the Hunter&#8217;s Association Library&#8230;you name it! It&#8217;s good that they kept the surprise about Shiki a cliffhanger, so something major is going happen to Kaname and Yuki, especially if you read the manga which I will not elaborate and leave it for yourself to figure it out.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-04.jpg" alt="" title="Why is there blood in my bathtub?" width="538" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13677" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Erm, Daddy Cross, why is there blood in my bathtub?</em></p>
<p>They rearranged the things that are supposed to be shown in the previous episode to this week&#8217;s episode. Yeah, this bathroom Yuki&#8217;s using is full of blood, blood and more blood if she was unable to figure out what her past is. So she screams, Zero comes to her rescue but no naked body is shown, if anyone is looking out for any fan service in Vampire Knight Guilty. No fanservice, only bishies here, sorry.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-05.jpg" alt="" title="He\&#039;s downright transsexual." width="538" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13678" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Only by watching this episode that I knew that this person here is a male. Why dress up like a female? He&#8217;s a downright transsexual.</em></p>
<p>In the manga, I thought that the Association President is female by the way this person speaks, acts and behaves. And when I was watching this week&#8217;s episode, the truth has brought this guy to justice that the Association President is a MALE! Cross-dressing sucks, don&#8217;t forget the scene when Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 dressed up as a lady to sneak into a building (Sorry FF7 fans, I don&#8217;t remember what really happened why he dressed up as a girl to sneak into the building, that was about 11 years ago since my brother last played the game.). So that stinks. Especially when it&#8217;s a shoujo series. And there&#8217;s another reason why I hate the Association President, which you guys will know later on when the series is about to end.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-06.jpg" alt="" title="I\&#039;m forgiven!" width="538" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13679" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Ahh&#8230;Kaien is forgiven by his lovable Yuki&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Ahh&#8230;one of my favorite scenes for this week&#8217;s episode. It was pretty amusing though, with the reason why Kaien is my favorite character is that he&#8217;s funny and serious at the right time. But I don&#8217;t know what happened to him in the manga in recent chapters&#8230;hmm&#8230;Hope he doesn&#8217;t die in the end, or else I&#8217;ll be creating a Kaien shrine right beside my <a href="http://wdtoppishrine.blogspot.com/">Toppi</a> shrine.</p>

<p align="center"><em>Must&#8230;kill&#8230;Association&#8230;President&#8230;got&#8230;serious&#8230;issues&#8230;</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-08.jpg" alt="" title="Moar action pls?" width="539" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13681" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Moar action please?</em></p>
<p>As for the manga readers, you will realize that Yagari has more appearance in the anime than in the manga, reflecting that he&#8217;s concerned about Yuki, Zero and Ichiru&#8217;s safety more in the anime. I hope he does not die at the end of the story, after taking much consideration that he has to disobey and broke the rules of the Association in later chapters. I shall not go on further, as this will spoil the story for those who follows only the anime.  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-09.jpg" alt="" title="Suck my blood, again." width="538" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13682" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Suck my blood, again. Does it taste really good, Zero?</em></p>
<p>Having their own intimate moments to suck Yuki&#8217;s blood, his lust of Yuki&#8217;s blood lingers in his mind. So wanting to suck her blood and couldn&#8217;t control himself, Zero sucks more blood than ever. Wonder if Yuki will one day be anemic in class and dies because of shortage of red blood cells. But this won&#8217;t happen anyway. (You will know after a few episodes has passed.)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-10.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-04-10.jpg" alt="" title="Stupid curse punching bag." width="539" height="310" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13683" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Well said, Kaname-sama for giving me this cursed doll from wherever you bought it from.</em></p>
<p>At last, Kaname and his gang of vampires come back to Cross Academy. Giving Yuki a really nice present and Zero a cursed doll, this indicates that he hates Zero to the core. When the time comes that Zero is no longer needed, Kaname will chop, slice and cook Zero in pieces and eat him up. But this won&#8217;t happen, again. It&#8217;s never going to happen anyways. Did anyone notice something weird about Zero&#8217;s hair in the picture shown above?</p>
<p>If you want to ask about my High School Musical 3 experience after 24th October, I&#8217;ll say that, in my own opinion, that I might find it a little disappointing, not showing what I thought it will come out to be. But at least I still enjoy the movie in the end. Speaking of the devil, I came across a Barbie doll commercial that has both Sharpay, Troy and Gabriellia together on television in my room. Spooky. In any case, I still find the first and second one more exciting than this one in theaters. But your thoughts and opinions might differ mine, so just go ahead and rebuke what I said in here just now. I don&#8217;t mind criticism about American movies, that&#8217;s just the way I am.   </p>
<p>That&#8217;s the end of the preview, since 1. I am too lazy to write anything because of health problems and 2. I&#8217;m bored with life as the holidays have conquered my lifestyle. But that will not be the end of Reverse Vampire as I&#8217;ll be showcasing something that no one has ever thought of in your entire life (If this happens) soon. Signing off (Went back to bed and sleep for 24 hours).</p>

<p align="center"><em>Oh look, it&#8217;s Sleeping Beau!</em></p>
<p>People, Reverse Vampire is back!!!!!!</p>
<p>No, seriously, I should have come back to THAT a few days ago, but since I&#8217;m too busy playing MMORPGs and watching out of the Tokyo Game Show (Especially the Kingdom Hearts games, all 3 of them and other games.) that has ended a week ago, that gave me some time to get things in order again. Have to adapt many changes after my papers&#8230;(withdrawn syndromes for neglecting my characters in my MMORPG.) Probably will stop writing VKG reviews again if my limits of my tolerance has depleted. Zero is 400% more emo than before, pretty disappointed about it and probably I&#8217;ll write on Kuroshitsuji (Only a couple of episodes). I think I better not write Yozakura Quartet, &#8217;cause after watching the 3rd episode, I was growing tired of the decent episodic format that has already bored me to death (And suffocated in the huge Fall season anime programs that there are many more good shows that I wanna watch.). In addition, I&#8217;m going to watch High School Musical 3 when it hit the cinemas today and buy the soundtrack. Very anticipated in the show, I can&#8217;t wait&hearts;. </p>
<p>BTW, if you want to know how I fare in my papers, I flunk Math-AGAIN. (Dragging thousands of people into the depths of Jigoku since they failed Math too.)</p>
<p></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-02.jpg" alt="" title="450% more emo than previous season." width="537" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13476" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>450% more emo than previous season. Yay for the teen angst and puberty. Anyone, emo rock concert?</em></p>
<p>Well, they change and edit some (If not most) of the parts from the manga and some scenes completely edited out. Studio DEEN thinks that some parts in the manga are very unimportant, so probably they removed them out entirely in the anime. If you wish to know what parts they edited in the anime, read the manga; I don&#8217;t wish to spoil anything for those who read both the manga and the anime. But don&#8217;t worry, I will be showing how I feel for today&#8217;s episode, as bland as ever. (I have the feeling that every High School Musical fan in the world has gone to the theaters to watch the movie.)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-03.jpg" alt="" title="Uh oh. Idol-senpai!!!! (Squeels with madness.)" width="538" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13477" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Uh oh. Idol-senpai!!! (Squeals with madness)</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s like the dorm leader has turn into another person when she sense Idol&#8217;s (Spell like this on purpose.) presence. I rather watch a movie with bishies inside it and squeals all the way till the end of the movie to enjoy the beauty. But no worries when I go to the cinemas to watch HCM3 tomorrow and enjoy all the optimism of the movie and forget all my worries of teen angst anime series and my own depression that I flunk Math easily like shitting a piece of dung out of my ass.   </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-04.jpg" alt="" title="Yes you are...Idol-senpai. Oh look, Zero\&#039;s out of the dorm. But he seems to be upset, meow." width="538" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13478" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Yes you are&#8230;Idol-senpai. Oh look, Zero&#8217;s out of the dorm, but he seems to be upset, heh.</em></p>
<p>Yar so Idol (And dear Shiki) are the only members of the Night Class who wished to stay here and not join their Kaname-sama on their trip to the high mountains yodeling and skiing. But no, Shiki wants to go home like mummy&#8217;s boy and leave poor and sickly Idol mopping the floors of the Night Class dorms. Instead Idol wants to play with the Day Class ladies and sneaks into the Day Class male dorms just to steal the fun-until he met Yuki.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-05.jpg" alt="" title="Reason No. 1 why vampires are spoilt." width="537" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13479" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Reason No. 1 why vampires are spoilt. Now Zero has the feeling to kick your big, fat ass.</em></p>
<p>So Aidou doesn&#8217;t want to go anywhere after Zero and Yuki has chased all the Day Class girls away from the dorms. To make things worse, Idol-senpai has treated our dear and cute Guardians like slaves to customized his style of living similar to the Night Class dorm. And poor Zero-sama wants to kick his fucking ass very soon. Zero looks pretty good in this episode, and not too emo than the previous 2. If Zero look at things in a brighter way and forget about his parents death and Ichiruu&#8217;s betrayal, I&#8217;ll have second thoughts about the manga. And don&#8217;t forget that the upcoming chapter (44) shows the most emo side of Zero when he was young. Probably I&#8217;ll stick to Kingdom Hearts and other video games that doesn&#8217;t show much of emo-ness.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-06.jpg" alt="" title="However, I wish I had Idol\&#039;s appetite. you should be proud of yourself that Idol love your cooking." width="538" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13480" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>You should be proud of yourself Zero. At least Idol-senpai love your cooking and not throw your homemade dinner to feed the dogs.</em></p>
<p>Ole man Idol wants more food from Zero&#8217;s Zelicious Homemade dinner. Be happy and jump for joy that he loves your cooking. Perhaps Zero should open a diner someday when he graduates from Cross Academy. Great idea, huh? He should quits being a hunter and serve great food to the people in Japan. That should make him forget his emo-ish past and cook happy delicious food to everyone. Let&#8217;s make people happy and forget our miseries!!! (I&#8217;m trying to be sarcastic, BTW)   </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-07.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-07.jpg" alt="" title="I\&#039;m a 100 times smarter than anyone in this series." width="538" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13481" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I&#8217;m a 100 times smarter than anyone in this series. Period. (Except the fact that I failed Math.)</em></p>
<p>Somehow Idol is getting impatient and Zero gave him blood tablets to satisfy his ever-lasting hunger. He finds out just by looking at (Zero&#8217;s) thumbprints and figures out that it belongs to Zero. Yuki starts her more emo-ish talk on meeting Kaname-sama and the Level E vampire 10 years ago to Idol. If this emo thing is going to rule till the end of the series, I would have to pick another series up and drop Vampire Knight for good and follow the manga.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-08.jpg" alt="" title="Reason No. 2 why vampires are spoilt. Sebastian, anyone?" width="540" height="309" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13482" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Reason No. 2 why vampires are spoilt. Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji, anyone?</em></p>
<p>Back at the Touya (Rima&#8217;s family) household, our <del datetime="2008-10-23T22:22:42+00:00">spoilt</del> little vampires are hanging out at Rima&#8217;s house for a tea party like always and Kain makes a &#8216;wow&#8217;ing discovery on the mystery of Kaname&#8217;s family. Looks like something is stirring in the family (It&#8217;s so predictable if you read the manga) and they sure cut out parts for this episodes, hmm?</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-09.jpg" alt="" title="Shiki\&#039;s a mummy\&#039;s boy. He doesn\&#039;t know what he\&#039;s getting into in the next episode." width="537" height="309" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13483" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Shiki&#8217;s a mummy&#8217;s boy. He doesn&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s getting into in the next episode.</em></p>
<p>So while Idol is whining to get his dear cousin Kain back and the other vampires throwing a slumber party at the Touya&#8217;s household, Shiki returns home and sees his mother in a crazed state only for him to return to come her hair and suck his blood. For those who are following the anime ONLY, you&#8217;ll surprised what trouble Shiki is heading to in the next episode very soon.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-10.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-10.jpg" alt="" title="I wish I could do that when I end up in a hotel suite." width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13484" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I wish I could do that when I end up in a hotel suite someday.</em></p>
<p>Back at the dorms, Idol, along with his pet marble are enjoying the bath of their time as they return to the past at the point where he first met his Kaname-sama. I wonder why this episode revolves so much with Aidou, but it&#8217;s a good shift as in most episodes it focus most on either Yuki, Kaname or Zero.  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-11.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-11.jpg" alt="" title="I am the smartest! No one could defeat my almighty intelligence." width="537" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13485" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I am the smartest! No one could defeat my almighty intelligence. (Until Kaname-sama took the spotlight away from me.)</em></p>
<p>We have a look at Aidou when he was about 4 or 5 years old in this cool flashback. Acting smug and proud of all the attention, he listens to all the praises singing to him that he read such complicated book, that is, until Kaname and family comes to visit him. He whines like a baby, shouting at him for disrespect of Aidou the Almighty. Then things shift when he was reprimanded by his tutor that he is insulting the pureblood family and tells a fairy tale about how the caste system came about. The he starts playing at the playground at night with young Kain and Ruka (She sings all the praises at Kaname-sama) until he came once again, playing with our little vampire gang. Years has passed, and soon Aidou and his fellow vampire turn 12 at the ballroom party. This time, Kaname was less friendly and cold at everyone (If you want to know more, just read chapter 28 to find out and save my saliva for more important things.)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-12.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-12.jpg" alt="" title="Our first look at Kaname\&#039;s parents." width="530" height="309" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13486" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Our first look at Kaname&#8217;s parents. Whereas in the manga it wasn&#8217;t very clear.</em></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-13.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vkg-03-13.jpg" alt="" title="I suck blood once more in this world." width="540" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13487" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>I suck blood once more in this world.</em></p>
<p>So we&#8217;re back at the present where Yuki and Zero share an intimate moment on sucking blood. Idol missed all the fun as he got out of his nice long bath and secretly goes into Kaname-sama&#8217;s room to get a sneak peak on any pureblood secrets in his drawer. But no, instead he saw chess pieces being squashed and cracked. (Idol loves playing chess, hmm?)</p>
<p>Another typical chapter has bore Reverse Vampire out of her happy zone. I feel sick when I listen to Zero and Yuki sound emo and anytime soon I&#8217;ll be dropping this and pick up other series that is better than this such as Toradora!, Skip Beat, Kuroshitsuji, Gundam 00 2nd season and Yozakura Quartet. Anytime now, but I&#8217;ll say so in the same post I say I quit writing this series. Based on research on other anime blogs, perhaps I&#8217;m the only blogger writing this series, eh?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-23.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-23.jpg" alt="" title="There are two types of future" width="537" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12689" /></a></p>
<p>Seriously, I want the anime to go on. But it&#8217;s also good news to me too as I&#8217;ll be away from THAT for about a week or two to continue mugging for my upcoming papers (Unless you want me to pass, I&#8217;ll fail all my papers big time and you won&#8217;t be able to hear my voices for <em>LIFE</em>). I won&#8217;t be writing any first impressions for the anime series I&#8217;m picking up, but I&#8217;ll be back and I&#8217;m positive about it. Probably I&#8217;ll write only a few episodes of Vampire Knight Guilty that I like or hate, and go on writing other series before I leave THAT again for my major papers. (I&#8217;m not quitting, so rest assured.)</p>
<p>It sucks when World Destruction (anime) ends. Especially you&#8217;re used to it writing the entire series (in every single episode) for 13 weeks and you&#8217;ve enjoyed it. Let&#8217;s get on with my last words for the last episode and get over it&#8230;no, I won&#8217;t end it, I&#8217;ll make another post regarding the game and some misc. stuff! Yay! Guess I&#8217;m not the only Toppi-centric person around in the blog, HOORAY KUMAAAAA! Unfortunately Toppi only have a few screen moments in the last episode, sob! Agan and Naja are almost nonentities in the anime series, but in the game that&#8217;s a different story. They didn&#8217;t even let us see what they are in the past. ARHH!</p>
<p>Random Guy: Reverse Vampire has gone bonkers. Ignore her.</p>
<p>  </p>
<p>Got to love this episode, but the ending seems rushed and you&#8217;ll have a sense of unsatisfactory after watching it. But I&#8217;ll go on with ranting about the ending after the entire post ends but the progress was uber awesome. Let&#8217;s get on and see what happens after our destroyers are surrounded by members of the World Salvation Committee. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-01.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-01.jpg" alt="" title="Marry me" width="540" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12688" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Kirie: (Gives rose to Ri A) Marry me.<br />
Ri A: (Jumps with joy!) I DOOOOO!!!!!<br />
Naja: Erm, Ri A, what are you talking about?<br />
Ri A: (Blushes with embarrassment and realized that it was a dream.)</em></p>
<p>So we have a young Ri A crying alone in the Dragon Valley and Kirie (With his hair peach) came over and gives her a rose. That was when Ri A has a little crush on him (And by looking at episode 2 and 8, you&#8217;ll see her blushing in Kirie&#8217;s presence) until Naja woke her up in the Cave of Dreams. Naja, too, see the illusions of the past while in the cave and explained that saving Ri A was easy, even though she was in the Dragon race. Meanwhile our destroyers are surrounded by our fellow World Salvation Committee soldiers and that idiot Eagleman who does nothing but bosses his minions around like slaves. Asking where the Destruct is, our destroyers had no clue what he was talking about.  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-02.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-02.jpg" alt="" title="Idiot Eagleman" width="537" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12690" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Idiot. Go ask that Dr. Alligator for it. He&#8217;s a BIG FAT LIAR!</em></p>
<p>With his (even) bigger robot interfering the &#8216;interrogation&#8217;, Dr. Alligator arrives at the <del datetime="2008-09-27T13:30:59+00:00">wrong</del> right time to pass on the Destruct Code to Eagleman, tricking him that Kirie has got something to do with the Destruct Code secrets. Going after Kirie only, he blasts his <del datetime="2008-09-27T13:30:59+00:00">uber nuclear</del> missiles at Kirie, while Morte has a tiff with Eagleman and our Lord Toppi kicking the asses off the white-clad soldiers.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-03.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-03.jpg" alt="" title="Dr. Alligator has cleaner teeth this time" width="539" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12691" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Yes, Dr. Alligator has cleaner teeth this time rather than having that yellow stains back in episode 11. Yuck</em></p>
<p>While this was happening, Ri A told Naja about meeting Kirie at the Dragon Valley when she was about a 100 years old and Kirie happens to cheer her up from a fall but wonders why Kirie still looks the same when hundreds of years has passed by. As what Ri A know that only Dragons has the longest lifeline, Naja wonders if Kirie is a from the Dragon Race (No. You jumped to conclusions) but Ri A rebutted that if he is from the Dragon Race she would have sensed it by the first time she saw Kirie when he cheer her up back at the valley. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-04.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-04.jpg" alt="" title="Haha, pwned by a chibi kuma!" width="539" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12692" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Haha, pwned by a chibi kuma! That teaches you never the meddle with little bears, Dr. Alligator?</em></p>
<p>Meanwhile when our destroyers are running away of their lives, Dr, Alligator wants to grab Kirie to let him know of the Destruct Code secrets (Liar. Fat. Liar.) and before he got caught by the clutches of the robots, Toppi, again, saves the day and pwned the alligator with his mighty kicks. Don&#8217;t ever think about mess around with Toppi, ever. Morte finally manages to steal the Destruct Code from Eagleman and then makes their escape in the Cave of Dreams. Toppi asked Kirie about the secrets of the Destruct Code but he has no clue about it but thinks that Morte is not holding the real Destruct Code. Morte protested that it was no lie that her brother left the Destruct Code to her. Kirie made an interesting point on the Destruct Code: If Dr. Alligator has struggled so far to get the orb, why did he return to our destroyers in the first place? Getting chased after by soldiers, Eagleman uses one of his soldiers&#8217; guns and fired a missile at Kirie, but missed, causing the cave to explode and Kirie falling in a hole.  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-05.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-05.jpg" alt="" title="Uh oh..." width="536" height="303" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12693" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Uh no&#8230;BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!1</em></p>
<p>Kirie then travels back into his dreams at where the World Salvation Committee starts attacking the Golden Lions and sees people getting killed in the process of defeating the beastmen. He got into the part where Reiben was running to Kirie (In the past. From now on, I&#8217;m referring to the Kirie with peach hair as Past Kirie.), asking him why he was still staying here as if things aren&#8217;t happening. Past Kirie replies by saying that he wants to stay in the place for a little longer (He takes life to be worthless&#8230;hmm&#8230;), wanting to see if Reiben can change the world. As his comrades called out for Reiben, he leaves, Past Kirie asking the Kirie that we always knew about the Destruct Code. The Destruct Code that Morte was carrying all along was not the real one, but it was cut off by the invasion of the soldiers before he revealed the real Destruct Code. </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-06.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-06.jpg" alt="" title="Sightseeing" width="534" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12695" /></a></p>

<p>At the same time, Toppi has awoken from the explosion and wakes Morte up, and realized that they were captured by the World Salvation Committee. Eagleman comes with a sword this time and ask Morte on the secrets of the Destruct Code, with the (fake) Destruct Code now in his hands. Morte doesn&#8217;t know what the secrets of the Destruct Code was and Eagleman will beat Morte and Toppi up till they confess.  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-08.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-08.jpg" alt="" title="Ahh, Toppi..." width="538" height="303" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12696" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-09.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-09.jpg" alt="" title="Ahh! Eagleman is going to rape us!" width="539" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12698" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Ahh! Eagleman is going to rape us!</em></p>
<p>As Kirie is rewatching the scene where Reiben was killed in the explosion, Past Kirie kneel down at the dead Reiben and Kirie that we know now touches the Destruct Code to get all his past memories back from the beginning of the world till the present. Back at the bottom of the caves, Kirie was awaken&#8230;with his powers back. (Yay! Finally, a badass Kirie!)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-10.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-10.jpg" alt="" title="Kirie has turned badass" width="538" height="309" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12697" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Finally, Kirie fans, we have him turned badass for the first time! (Faints)</em></p>
<p>As Ri A and Naja are running out of the rumbles in the cave, they saw a changed Kirie standing right in front of them. Naja asked Kirie if Kirie himself is the real Destruct Code that will destroy the world. Dr. Alligator make his entrance, supporting the fact that Kirie, himself is the Destruct Code. He then asked Alligator the whereabouts of Toppi and Morte, mocking Eagleman to be such a fool to ask Morte and Toppi of the secrets of the Destruct Code. Wanting Kirie to come with him, Ri A and Naja attacks Dr. Alligator, while Kirie has teleport himself into the World Salvation Committee ship. It was hilarious when Ri A swings Dr. Alligator around till he dies.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-11.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-11.jpg" alt="" title="...gone..." width="538" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12699" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Kirie has gone to save Toppi and Morte.</em></p>
<p>Rushing to save his friends, he rushes to Toppi and Morte and kills them by turning them into sand as Morte was still being interrogated by Eagleman to find out the secrets of the Destruct Code. Kirie has his grand opening at last, pushing Eagleman away from his path and unties Morte. Telling them to run away as far as possible, Kirie tells Morte not to take the orb anymore as he reveals the truth that the orb is only a medium of his memories and he is the REAL Destruct Code&#8230; (Creepy feeling)</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-12.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-12.jpg" alt="" title="Kirie is the real Destruct Code" width="540" height="309" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12700" /></a></p>
<p>Asking more questions, Morte wonders why Kirie was talking like that and explains that he met Reiben back at the Golden Lions, rebelling against the World Salvation Committee and the Destruct Code that Reiben refers to was actually Kirie. He was caught up in the explosion and lost his memories in the process. The medium then was passed to Reiben&#8217;s hands and Morte took over as the new owner of the Destruct Code. Forgetting everything he remembers except his name, he went over to another place and met Morte and Toppi in the process. Witnessing all the memories Kirie has over the last thousand of years, (It is confirmed that Kirie&#8217;s probably immortal) he holds the power to reset the world and when someone has the wish to destroy the world and believes in the Destruct Code, the power awakens for Kirie to reset everything into sand.  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-13.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-13.jpg" alt="" title="Arg, grammar error!" width="540" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12701" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>Arg, can&#8217;t stand you subbers, you are grammatically wrong on this sentence that Kirie has the power to destroy the world! How much are you paid or donated for subbing this series, huh? Too bad this is the last episode and no one will be seeing this grammar error till thousand of years has passed.</em></p>
<p>The World Salvation Committee comes into the picture, orders from Eagleman to capture Kirie as the Destruct Code and as they are about to shoot their guns (The bullets has turned into sand, haha) at Kirie, he fires a deadly aura and turns them into sand right away, along with a hole on top of the ship. Desperately wanting to destroy Kirie for good, he stabs his sword at him but it has turned into sand, along with himself as Kirie turns him into sand. Witness the deadly power of the real Destruct Code, Kirie (as the real Destruct Code) explains when someone has strong desires to destroy the world, the Destruct Code is put into full operation. Morte has believe in both the Destruct Code and the end of the world, and that the Destruct Code has been in full operation in the beginning, unleashing his full powers to destroy the world, his right eye showing the medium fused with him (Which is rather creepy if you&#8217;ve watched the final episode for the first time.) </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-14.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-14.jpg" alt="" title="Don\&#039;t turn..." width="537" height="304" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12702" /></a></p>

<p align="center"><em>Hmm, a Glamsight, a Geass, or is it a cursed Akuma eye, hmm&#8230; No, it&#8217;s the Destruct Code himself! (Will creep little kids out of THAT after looking at this.)</em></p>
<p>Ri A and Naja rushes into the scene just in time to see Kirie setting himself to destroy the world and Agan came to Toppi and Morte&#8217;s rescue, while delivering some food at the same time to another location. Ri A and Naja arrives at the ship and Agan complained that they have to pay him first to get aboard the ship (Same old Agan). And as places around the planet got destroyed and turned to sand at the same time, Morte watches Kirie destroying everything that is around.</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-16.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-16.jpg" alt="" title="We have no money this time." width="539" height="308" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12704" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>We have no money this time, Agan.</em></p>
<p>Ri A demoralized Morte if that was the world she wanted in the end as Kirie continues to destroy everything, and Morte reflects all the memories of she and Kirie are together from the first episode to where they are now. She jumps off from the ship, getting to Kirie without much difficulty, apologizes and blames herself of the sins that she has committed to destroy the world.   </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-17.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-17.jpg" alt="" title="The world I desired?" width="538" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12705" /></a></p>
<p>Looking at the almost-lifeless Kirie activated to destroy the world, Morte wishes for all these to stop, confess that she likes the world as it is now and show signs that she was going to kiss Kirie. Until that big explosion takes place and we can&#8217;t get to see the less-tsundere Morte kissing Kirie in front of us, arg!!! Sega, I&#8217;m going to kill you!!!</p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-18.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-18.jpg" alt="" title="..." width="537" height="307" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12706" /></a></p>

<p align="center"><em>Almost&#8230;.arg! NO kissing scene at the end, what? You kidding me?</em></p>
<p>So everything ends, Kirie has turned back to normal and the world is saved in just a few minutes, you kidding me? Morte then cries for joy, the orb breaks into pieces and everyone, especially the characters who appeared from episode 1 till episode 9 (Yes, the fake World Destruction Committee has also returned.) went out to help each other in recreating the world into a better place. With final philosophy words from Toppi, the story ends with Morte and Kirie living happily ever after.  </p>

<p><strong>Impressions of the entire series and results:</strong></p>
<p>Well, although the promo trailer tricked us from watching this show as a serious one, I still enjoyed it in the end, if you are persistent and stubborn to watch this series till the end. I think that if the show extends up to 24 or 26 episodes it would be better on how the story will end. Nonetheless, Agan is almost like an nonentity in this anime so if anyone wants to see any actions from Naja or Agan, play the game or read the manga (Which no one fansubbed. Shit.) </p>
<p>What I think about the ending that it felt incomplete and Morte to love Kirie like that, it was pretty rushed, if you see her every move on kicking, punching and scolding Kirie at almost everything. If the romantic part develops during the story, maybe that could convince me and some other World Destruction fan to believe that Morte is in love with Kirie. The ending was pretty rushed too, everything turned back to normal and they lived happily after was not the ending that I&#8217;ve expected. I normally expected for this kind of plot to have a bittersweet ending, but it didn&#8217;t work out quite right.    </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-24.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-24.jpg" alt="" title="Toppi, staring right at the sun courageously" width="539" height="306" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12711" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>This is the last time we&#8217;re going to see Toppi like this (Cries in front of Toppi fans) Toppi, don&#8217;t goooooooo!!!!!!!</em></p>
<p>Overall, this is one of the series I&#8217;ve enjoy writing for the past 13 weeks and this does not marks the end of me, Reverse Vampire, from ending writing more about this series. There&#8217;s still more things I would want to elaborate with other series (If you have been following since episode 5 or 6, I would like to compare Toppi with Kuma, or Teddie as the NA version called it from Persona 4 on the interesting differences and similarities they have, as bears.) and some other misc. stuff. I do not want to go back writing Vampire Knight Guilty and I will probably picked other series from this Autumn season like Yozakura Quartet (Which I will most likely write about) or Kuroshitsuji (It&#8217;s not that yaoi, I&#8217;ve read the manga and it has nothing of that sort. Just a Master and Servant kind of relationship and don&#8217;t let the trailer fool you.).  </p>
<p align="center"><a href='http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-25.jpg'><img src="http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wd-13-25.jpg" alt="" title="And they lived happily ever after." width="537" height="305" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12712" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><em>And they lived happily ever after. The End.</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll probably give anime an overall score of&#8230;&#8230;.8/10 (I&#8217;m being biased, since it&#8217;s from Production I.G. and some of my favourite seiyuus are there.)<br />
For why you have to watch this:<br />
Will make anyone Toppi-centric like me<br />
Will like the light-hearted moments with a not-so-linear plot<br />
Will like Morte and Ri A fighting among themselves<br />
Will like Kirie acting like a sissy and only become badass at the last episode.<br />
Will like the game and watches the anime series for more info.</p>
<p>Against why you have to watch this:<br />
Naja and Agan are useless people until they are at the stage that they are almost the nonentities in the story.<br />
For those who liked a headstrong and courageous protagonist like any other generic shounen series, but you should stay away from World Destruction if you hate Kirie acting like a coward from episode 1-12.<br />
Would make some people start a riot because the trailer tricked them.<br />
Some people will not know what the story is about if they watched it in the middle of the series.<br />
Just play the game if you want the know what&#8217;s really happening. The anime is different from the game with Agan and Naja being able to use their fists sometimes.</p>
<p>Bye bye, World Destruction&#8230;.<a href="http://wdtoppishrine.blogspot.com">Not!</a> (Visit the Toppi Shrine!)</p>
