"Zero being the clearly superior partner" was the realest thing I've ever heard lmaao

I’m loving these Vampire Knight episodes bc I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hooked on the anime way back then 💀

If there's one thing about Vampire Knight I absolutely love unironically is the art. Especially in Memories.

Yuki disappearing is a mood, imagine trying so hard for years, having your whole childhood stolen away because of this drama (she was 15 when she got involved and got pregnant at 17), all of the people you're supposed to be responsible of don't want to work with you for peace and your own child turns her back against you. I would too have said 'you know what, i quit' She wasn't even supposed to have so much responsabilities, she only took the place her brother/ancestor left when he died, leaving her with a child to raise and a two hating communities to manage

I really couldn't read Memories because I found it too boring and honestly the original ending cringed me out way too much, I'm glad you summarized it to this point

"She just wanted a little sister she could feed off" I-

Zero is best boy, he really deserved someone better. I was always Team Zero even when I first saw the anime 😭😭

I find myself really enjoying Memories. The mature, heartfelt discussions about mortality all the characters have, how they grapple with their own lives through seeing eachothers' is really compelling. Idou losing Sayori to old age and telling Zero to cherish his life and to spend as much time with Yuuki as he can, because someday Zero will die before her and the memories they make now will be all Yuuki has left of him hit me like a emotional brick. Also, the parallel of last thing Kaname did before dying was hug Yuuki and Zero, and the first thing he does upon waking is hug their children...The consistent theme of cherishing the time you have is very sweet and earnest.

omg, I'll never forget the confusion and feelings of "let it die" I felt when I saw the sequel series at the book store a little while back. Mostly because it went down in my mind as the vampire incest manga. But it was really cool hearing you talk about what all the sequel has to offer!!! The fact that they made vampires public is such a cool concept!

....this is not the lgbt rep I wanted....

You gotta read her other works, MeruPuri and Captive Hearts. It's... so much. There's always a really, really weird taboo in EVERY relationship she writes.

I'm more of a werewolf fan... But I was randomly gifted the first two mangas of Vampire Knight back in high-school, and your commentary is hilarious. I am hooked xD

Honestly vampire knight was the " first " anime I watched. Sure I knew about naruto, sailor moon and stuff like that but I didn't know that they were anime. I was 14 when I watched it. I spend all night watching with school next day. I was obsessed. It was thanks to vampire knight that I start to watch other anime. Yes now I can't rewatch it because .... I can't even put it to words. I still have a special place in my heart for it. But I wouldn't watch it again.

Also i really think you should read Gakuen Alice! At first its seemingly a kid’s series but it gets so dark and emotional after 30-ish chapters and its really good and bittersweet! Would love to see your review for it

Kiryu being a total King, always has been. ❤ Real shame he wasnt in a better plotted manga.

Vampire knight memories is an amazing continuation. Zero and Yuki decide to be together. I love how the relationship of Akatsuki with Ruka and Shiki with Rima is evolved. The panels with Ai and Ren are both cute and funny. In my point of view I think the art is developed. Also the characters have development. The way we travel both to past and present is handled so good. But we have to wait for new chapters since it is published in a mothly magazine. Believe me it is worth waiting a month for a new chapter.

The fact that Yuki and Kaname did it will haunt me forever. I actually feel sick

Vampire Knight will always be that one manga/anime that... I am glad I never go into and thus saved me from the whole damage to my psyche and GREAT CONFUSION coming from this story. Instead I got into D.Grayman, which frankly.. I love so much and I'm glad to find. Though, I still wanted to know how the story for Vampire Knight went in summary.

If you like stories of people dealing with trauma and overcoming it you should review fruit basket. There is a complete manga, an ongoing sequel, and two separate shows (one from early 2000s that got cancelled and a 2019 reboot that completes the story)!

The show is my childhood then I can't say it did not f****Me up 😂🥲

I remember seeing Vampire Knight during an anime listing and thought of it as some sort of edgy story. It wasn't actually up to my tastes up to that point, and I am both cringing yet enjoying Negative's reviews of this very, very, VERY weird story lmao.

sometimes I wonder what the universe where the author's Pirate manga took off instead is going. Part of me wants her to explore that manga past the only 3 chapters, but of me is worried about how it would turn out with how vampire knight is.

I’m slowly collecting this series and the sequel 😂 This is part of my childhood😂

I was OBSESSED with VK as a teen. Here in Aus it was played on ABC3 (abc for like 10-17yr olds) around 7pm. I was very much team Zero.

I said this on your previous video and I’ll say it again. I kinda do feel bad for kaname, being woken up, turned human, and having amnesia and being told the the whole plot of vampire knight by your lovers rivals kids and your child with your possible descendant/ sibling/ lover. I hope they don’t drive him insane after being turned human. Also if Yuki could turn kaname into human, could she have done it both for zero and kaname.

REN WAS A GIRL?! I swear I read Memories before but I literally do not remember this fact!! I thought Ren was supposed to be like… I dunno, she gave me vibes of a mix of Zero and Ichiru. Also, I still firmly believe Zero deserves a better woman than Yuki 🤷‍♀️ and Aidou is definitely still my big VK crush lmao

Did Yuki really leave ai to go out to get some cigarettes or milk?

I also like Memories, I think the mangaka's comedy and romance (Aidou and Yori and even some Zeki) are honestly good or at least nice. It still has some stuff that some people might dislike or even hate (Incest and other unlucky ships not having interesting moments) and the plot sometimes is kind of boring, like those "fights" with lower vampires but overall is cool. I loved when Ai confronted Yuki about her still not hooking up with Zero after god knows how many years because she still had "feelings" for Kaname, like YEAH FINALLLY SOMEONE SAID IT.

I only read some of memories cause I couldn't get over the bad taste the love triangle left me with, I couldn't really enjoy the story as much. But the way you described it, maybe I should jump back in. BUT YEAH the way you said Zero was the superior choice, he's just the best character all around lol I loved sayori too

I love watching your videos and I wonder if you could do a review of “kamisama kiss “ it’s a love story between a fox yokai and a human girl just turned into a god it’s cute and funny and I love the music and I think you might really enjoy watching it 💕

I am so happy that you made these 3 videos. I loved vampire knight growing up. And your going into detail about the manga and memories makes me want to get all the mangas so much more. So thank you so much. ❤❤❤

I love this vampire knight series you’re doing 😊. It was a favorite growing up and I’m glad it’s being fixed/ continued and I’m glad you’re summarizing with amazing commentary🤣. PLEASE do more of these anime/ manga review videos!

Hi, im so glad youtube suggested the first vampire knight video that you did. Ive been enjoying those videos and your super cool!

I don’t think I finished Memories but I did get annoyed when they changed Ren’s gender because there wasn’t really much explanation. But aside from that, I didn’t like the sisters loving each other for…reasons?

what's scarier than vampires? Sweet Home Alabama vampires.

Omg I am so excited for this !! ❤ I remember being obsessed with this series when I was a teen haha

I absolutely adore Vampire Knight’s art style. It’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

Wth she did what now???"lets make the kids look like yuki and zero but BOOM THEY ARE SIBLINGS AS WELL GOTCHA!!INCEST IS WINCEST!!!!"😂😂This is sooooo wierd!!

Aidou and Sayori hit me in the feels 😭🥺

so happy you made these videos! i sped through the vampire knight anime in a week or so two years ago and felt unsatisfied with the ending. when i went to my local library after finishing the anime, i saw they had the entire manga, and was tempted to read it because i felt it may help my unsatisfaction but decided not to in fear of it being just as bad as the anime was. so thank you for the videos!

14:08 Funny enough that's the exact thing that happened to me after I came across your other VK videos. I was sent right back down the rabbit hole and now I'm invested lol

lord i always wonder how much better this series would be if it WASNT FOR THE INCEST

I definitely did not know they had a sequel 😅 That said when the incest kicked in I noped out of there so quickly I left behind an afterimage so... Probably wouldn't have picked it up even if I did know.

So glad you made these, so much easier to keep up on the series. Have you ever read the manga black bird?

Thank you so much for these vampire knight videos I needed it so I don’t have to go back to it 😭

WOW. Did not imagine any of that coming. I wonder if the original rushed ending was due to deadlines, possible cancellation or writer inexperience? Welp, looking forward tot he review of the next next 7 volumes, curious to see where all this goes but not enough to read it myself.

Really love your story telling! and your skin is really good too. I envy that XD

I thinK Zero should be revived too he didn't deserve the shit happened with him....... he should also be able to lead a happy life without any complications

I always just assumed that these types of shows where siblings being romanticlly involved was just a fat shout out to how aristocracy was indeed quite incestuous in all reality.. yes??

While you wait for Memories to be completed, please review the light novels. I love these Vampire Knight videos!!! ❤

Im digging this content i was gonna read it again I forgot about the sequel but if you keep the details and quality up over here my views are yours

This manga was so great. If you look away from the problematic stuff... o.O'

Haha! I loved Vampire Knight and never knew there a a sequel! Thank you for this!

I'm loving Memories, the time skip between past and future is really different and keep me on edge to connect the dots and fully understand. I'm glad one of my favorite mangas is back

The incest destroys any fun I could have with this series 😢

Vampire knight is what I watch when I’m not mentally okay. I just revert back to my cringe 12 y/o self. It’s a dark guilty pleasure cause the incest thing gets me SO fucked up every time 😭

I don’t have spare energy atm to continue onto VKM after finishing VK (which hurt me tbh lol 🙈) but I’m so so curious about it! 😯 So pls keep going with these reviews (as long as you’re interested in it) - they’re really fun, thx!

pov: next video i am a vampire night

i frankly did now know there was a sequel, but since hearing about this in the last episode of you covering this ive known ill probably end up reading it, and this definetly convinced me that yeah i will

I'm glad you have summarised everything that happened because honestly I loved-hated the series when I first saw it in highschool and after that I never touched it again. Also, I kinda want to read everything but I'm not entirely hooked

See, I was already bracing for Incest Strikes Again when the ship-kids’ names are poetic puns and double-puns combined lol

It had a sequel!?

YAY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ON THIS

NL…I am one hundred percent blaming you for the Vampire Knight marathon I am currently in the middle of! The nostalgia is real. (Really enjoying the vids!)

I love how he said most people got into it around middle school even tho I was in the third grade 😂

Omg slay, I might get vampire knight memories now, even though I have mixed feelings on this story now I still love it and the sequel sounds entertaining

What lip color are you wearing?! You look so good ❤ keep doing it

let me just say your hair and makeup look amazing!!!

I’d love to see you watch/do an analysis on devils line 😊

I was a huge vampire knight fan and I honestly still am. Its so bad its good. Its just good fun. But I never did go back and read the manga and I didn't even know this got released. I went back and read the manga when it looked like you were going to start making these videos. After finishing Vampire knight....ehhh IDK man this writer is not great. It does sound like memories is genuinely better tho.

Everytime I hear vampire knight something samps in me. I don't mind the harem ending but my boy zero has to continuously suffer got me angry all the time.

This anime used to be my hardest obsession ever. Now, years later I totally see whats wrong with this story and can totally understand every criticism. BUUT, I still love this Manga and Anime to death. It was my entrance to Anime in general and will always have a special place in my heart

I love the videos you made cus the way you put it made the whole show sounds more interesting then it is hahaha! I personally find memories boring. To be fair, when i first watch/read this series back when it starts coming out, i was watching it thinking it would be a vampire love story (half not wrong?) so ever since they stray away from the 3 ways drama, i lost interest hahahaha! I continued cus i wanted to know who ends up with yuuki and i love zero. For memories, i was only interested to watch zero (i grew up to think the incest part is weird too by this point). Cus the whole politic side of things just blews over my head and i don remember a single thing about it, there is no love interest things to hook me now (NO to ai and ren situation sorry), so im basically watching for zero. The art is still gorgeous after all. I'm sure it comes as no surprise, the moment zero is no longer around, i dropped this series like a hot pan. p.s love the yugioh legacy behind on your screen!

I watched this yesterday but I'm back bc I went to a random Barnes and Noble in MN on a trip today and got Vampire Knight Memories Vol. 8, and I went to check my Amazon list because I didn't realize it released so fast but on Amazon it's still pre-order. I also checked the Barnes and Noble website and it says pre-order. WHAT THE HECK

For me I liked both original VK and VKM until about the middle part. I totally agree that VKM is more mature and interesting story (and focus was finally given to the secondary characters I wanted to know about - like Aido and Sayori, Shiki and Rima). The conflict of humans against vampires is also much more detailed and not on the sidelines. Yuki and Zero's character and relationship development are fleshed out a lot better. My favorite part is when Zero is saying how he regrets turning his back on Yuki for becoming a vampire, I think it was a great approach. But imo, author tends to really extend the story unnecessarily. Sara's ark in the VK was too long and brought nothing, and now memories kinda go in the same direction. My guess is that it is due to payment being per manga page. I hope author does not prolong it too much, but who knows...

I love your videos

Great video.

Totally unrelated (and sorry about that) but I love your make up, you look great!

hey have you played yugioh rush duel on switch, it's a cool format and i hope the anime comes out here. would be neat if you did a series on the history of yugioh's animation studio and how they lost their deal with konami

I really like the little makeup u have on, you look pretty

I recall both liking Memories and eyes glazing over while reading.

I never caught the VK fever in middle school so I never read it. I only knew the plot in passing cuz the inc*st plot was infamous (and got meme'd everywwhere). But hearing you talked about VKM kinda makes me want to try reading it fr, thanks!!

The fact that they retconned the incest and put us through all that gross shit for nOTHING

When you said that Ren and Ai was a pun it immediately clicked for me because I named a character Ren'Ai for the signification EDIT: I spend the entire video staring at my screen in utter disbeleif. I really don't find it interesting at all personnaly, felt like it wass going in every directions, still can't let go of it's.... Problematic thematics. Also why is youtube telling me I'm on Dominic Noble channel wtf?

I like watching the time on the Switch homescreen during the videos

I think I read through the short stories and not the whole series. Well, now imma go back and read through those

Yori and Aido were my only ship since the first episode 😂

I honestly could not muster up the courage to read the vampire knight manga. Thank you for informing all of us on what it's about

You are keeping me fed, in good health, bubba my skin is glowing. Thank. You. Binch. 10/10

It's being serialized?! I remember reading like the light novel or whatever when I finished the manga. Ok, I'm getting back into it. Memories, here we come!

Frankly sounds better than what the original was going for, in most regards. Though the author's understanding of romantic development is seeming to be painfully under-baked, at least on Yuki's side of things. She always has the men pining over her, but she really doesn't do very much to be progressive or assertive in the process herself.

The manga writer needs to put down the pencil and pick the therapist hand book

He is glossing over how in memories ZERO DIES!

Bro that makes so much sense. I was wondering why Ai had a major crush on Ren lmL

Manga I hope you can make videos about: Because they're good: Otomen Soloist in the Cage Mermaid Saga Tokyo Mew Mew Summertime Rendering Because they're bad (in my opinion): Please Save my Earth (everything but the couples are good) So Cute it Hurts (mentally ill woman abandons her children, her psychiatrist helps her get better but rather than making her to go back to her children, they get married and have a child together, this is framed as "romantic") Gakuen Alice (I wasn't able to get into it, maybe the school setting. When I tried catching up on what I missed was there many teacher-student relationships...) And many more, but this'll do for now.

Vampire Knight still holds a special place in my heart ^^

Once again, Zero was the best character.

Ok, this reminds me of a manga I’ve never been able to find again, with similar relationships and story. It was basically this but about moon people (and a warrior moon princess, don’t cha know?) The reveal about the moon princess being siblings with her lover was after the mid-point in the series iirc. And it was set in fuedal (?) Japan. If anyone can help me find this, I’ll draw whatever (legal, hygienic) thing you want.

Please review Full Moon wo Sagashite!!! My favorite manga!!

ooooo im excited to see this
