The first few episodes were really good. As is standard for Vampire Knight, angst and introspection is the order of the day. Some people probably won’t be able to tolerate how overwrought this anime executes most things, but I daresay the majority of them would have abandoned ship during the first season. Yuuki deals constantly with vampirism, not just with the events and conspiracies happening around her as the forces of the Association, the Council, the pure-bloods and the students and faculty of Cross Academy elaborately scheme and cross paths to satisfy each of their own unique motives, but also internally, as the lingering trauma of the day she lost her memory manifests itself in some rather gruesome visions. These visions are really well done; they’re sinister, rife with romantically dark imagery of blood, roses, ghostly figures and malevolent children’s laughter (check out the ED sequence in particular for the epitome of this dark, romantic imagery, it’s a work of art). It all contributes to a character that is deeply troubled and scarred, which is good. The gravity of Yuuki’s experiences make up for the fact that her personality isn’t all that interesting.
