It’s been pretty much more of the same. More Vampire themed angst. More slowly developing back story and character development. More hot Yuuki biting. More intense drama. And I was loving each minute of it yet again. 

So, a lot of the main character’s past have been elaborated on in the last few episodes. Zero’s relationship with his old teacher, the Vampire Hunter who saved him from a vampire before at the cost of his own eye, to which I must say he sports an awesome looking eyepatch. This is somewhat harsh on Zero’s part, being taught so horrifically the true terror of vampires and then having his family killed off by one, himself turned must be pretty traumatizing. And then to have your new hosts seem so close with a vampire, I can see why he attacked Kaname with that knife. 

Yuuki also shows off her past, which a downwards spiral of overdependance and her increasing infatuation for Kaname, which is feeling so sickenly disgusting to me now. Their relationship needs to be resolved somehow, no matter whether they actually end up together or completely break ties. I hate this dancing around. Although what I do love is Yuuki trying to keep the fact that she had offered herself to keep Zero sane away from Kaname, and Kaname pretends he doesn’t know to appease her. He also doesn’t go and completely goes to tear Zero to shreds because of how Yuuki would feel. This was about the only point (apart from his earlier flashback scenes) that I had some ounce of a liking to Kaname. All the other times, I think he is a stiff prat. I do love the scene where Yuuki is totally freaked out when she spies Kaname drinking blood from a lady vampire. 

With all this talk of peace between vampires and the humans, the night class are actually very hostile, especially in terms with anything to do with Kaname or to harm him. A pretty powerful scene was that one of them already had their hand at Zero’s neck in the time he had to draw his gun. 

At the moment, I really want to see Yuuki grow up. She is too hung over Kaname, and totally missed the fact that Zero was the one to lay the blanket, thinking it was Kaname. Zero is actually in quite a pinch, rejecting the blood pills, he needs to feed on Yuuki to stay off the onslaughts of being a level E (obviously this shows there are levels D, C, B and As out there) while also having to face the idea that Yuuki would probably prefer Kaname doing that to her. Also, it was left hanging that the woman who turned him is still alive and on the loose. 

The subs went completely unnoticed by me for nearly a month and I only caught up now but I am in dire need of weekly doses of this shoujo goodness now. The OP and the ED have my congratulations for being the only combo to make me want to watch the whole way through both (besides Gurren Lagann that I can remember). I love the OP and the ED is so deliciously haunting with an unusual (at least in this era) 3/4 beat. I love it. I wonder when the singles are out…
