matsuri hino is honestly an amazin artist, if anything id be happy if she simply did the artwork for a manga instead of balancing story and art bc dear god her stories are just...😅
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
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!
@@characharayong funny thing is i couldn't even tell you how i felt about him and when i think about it i think i just forgot he was even there and ignored when he was all i remember is being upset she didnt go with zero besides that i felt nth for kaname💀
@@bigclitenergyno competition at all XD Zero FTW, makes me hate Yuuki alot more for choosing Zero as her 2nd choice after she no longer can have Kaname 😒😒
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
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.
Worse than CLAMP. Some of their works are fine, and most of the time the main relationship in the story isn't weird. That is not the case for Matsuri Hino.
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.
Your first serious anime/manga will always be special and hold a bostalgic feling in your heart. No matter what it was. It's not your fault it went cringe and weird, so don't feel too bad about it.
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
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)!
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.
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.
Oh hey a fellow D. Grayman fan! Same thing happened to me, ended up skipping Vampire Knight and read D. Grayman instead but curiosity never really left about VK but too lazy to pick it up..
So ive wondered this alot too, but I read a comment that made sense. They said that in the culture since kids don't have any concept of romantic love that when the younger child wants to "marry" their older sibling or parent in a manga/anime its because they love them and that's the only way they see them being together forever. It doesnt "marry" like when ur an adult, its just meant to be a cute way to express how the child felt affection towards their older sibling/parent. I've noticed this in alot of japanese shows.
thats where i first came across VK too and it always played after Good Game XP if im not wrong. im on both teams because i dont know how to choose when i love both characters
@@clarehidalgo ancestor, yes. Don’t know how far it goes back. I was never team kaname anyway. But I just wanted to keep it short and just say they’re not siblings lol way too much explanation for that
@@vampapaiya I'm just approximating because like Kaname is like 10,000+ while Yuki's parents were like in their 3000s when she was born, Vampires generational gaps probably really all over the place
Yes I completely agree Memories is so much more mature. Something I really think this manga-ka does well is conveying complex emotion with beautiful artwork, so a character will say something simple but their expression conveys so much more.
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
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 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!
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 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
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!
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'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
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 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. ❤❤❤
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.
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!!
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
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?
It actually wasn't changed to our knowledge. The original uses gender neutral way to describe Ren and due to Ren looking masculine translators used "brother" instead of "sibling" (kyoudai as was called originally). Personally, I love Ren as female, there's a lot of women who grow into looking masculine from feminine and I hate how much media ignore that.
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
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
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 💕
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 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.
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 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??
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
i don't mind Yuki and Zero being together i just hate how Kaname was destined to be lonely his whole life . All he did was for Yuki , he endured having her forget everything and being away from her and then when she's finally back she decides she loves Zero more. if only i didn't rewatch the anime and search for the manga ending, because in my childhood memories Yuki picked Kaname and they traveled together , and in my childhood memories i thought they were really siblings and that it is a custom for purebloods to marry within the family to preserve their very rare existence. but turns out Yuki married Zero and had a kid with both Kaname and Zero and then Zero dies so she decides to die with him by turning Kaname into a human .... and the fact that Ai, Kaname and Yuki's daughter was also kinda into Zero is sooo messed up . i don't support a pureblood marrying the son of the most popular vampire hunter family. she fucked up the bloodline and their relationship was clearly gonna be stained in blood because neither the vampire nor the vampire hunter community would accept it .
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.
I love VK and VKM. If you like vampire manga I strongly recommend Rosario Vampire. The anime doesn't do the manga any justice. It's really dark. Also, Blood Mary. It's ten volumes and no its not boys love.
Never completed the original manga run when i was younger (library was the only place i could get them) this is a great video. How they ended up doing a siblings in love scenario again is wilddddd
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?
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!
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
You should watch dance in the vampire Bund! That show is vampires, werewolves, and all sorts of things that seems messed up or actually are messed up. The manga is better, btw.
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!!
i kind of hate how in the sequel aido's gay crush on kaname was retconned by his very not gay crush on yuki's friend that i never remember the name of. like i remember aido was always one of my favourite characters cause his story to me was just so tragic. like he loved this powerful complicated vampire being, having basically almost like a teenage girl crush on him and then kaname does all this shit, kills his father, hooks up with his own sister, sacrifices himself and basically barely cares for aido's loyalty that never weavers and straight up ignored his feelings. my baby deserved so much better. ... and then you get to memories and oh, never mind, aido is totally fine, not a tragic hero at all, is in love with a girl. like japan, honey, pls stop. i would've even been fine with it if he was actually bi. but his crush on kaname never really comes up again. or at least not in a "let me address these romantic feelings for a guy i had. i now have similar feelings for a girl. guess i moved on and am into girl also." like nope. it's so annoying to me. i just love aido so much. he is so underrated. he is so sidelined and is still my favourite character in this entire series. zero is annoying af to me and kaname is just... kaname. he changed personalities like 3 times. it's like there are 3 different kaname's. but aido. mna, i always loved aido. from the moment he was introduced. he's just so my type. and he was done so dirty by the story in my opinion
"Zero being the clearly superior partner" was the realest thing I've ever heard lmaao
Yep!
We always knew he was THE ONE 😂
He is glossing over how in Memories ZERO DIES!
If there's one thing about Vampire Knight I absolutely love unironically is the art. Especially in Memories.
For such beautiful art, the story is so CONVOLUTED.
Same same, main reason I picked that up
matsuri hino is honestly an amazin artist, if anything id be happy if she simply did the artwork for a manga instead of balancing story and art bc dear god her stories are just...😅

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 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.
Really love your story telling! and your skin is really good too. I envy that XD
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
See, I was already bracing for Incest Strikes Again when the ship-kids’ names are poetic puns and double-puns combined lol
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??
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.
let me just say your hair and makeup look amazing!!!
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
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.
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!
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 thought Ren was a boy this whole time (zero and yuuki‘s child)
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.
i don't mind Yuki and Zero being together i just hate how Kaname was destined to be lonely his whole life . All he did was for Yuki , he endured having her forget everything and being away from her and then when she's finally back she decides she loves Zero more. if only i didn't rewatch the anime and search for the manga ending, because in my childhood memories Yuki picked Kaname and they traveled together , and in my childhood memories i thought they were really siblings and that it is a custom for purebloods to marry within the family to preserve their very rare existence. but turns out Yuki married Zero and had a kid with both Kaname and Zero and then Zero dies so she decides to die with him by turning Kaname into a human .... and the fact that Ai, Kaname and Yuki's daughter was also kinda into Zero is sooo messed up . i don't support a pureblood marrying the son of the most popular vampire hunter family. she fucked up the bloodline and their relationship was clearly gonna be stained in blood because neither the vampire nor the vampire hunter community would accept it .
The incest destroys any fun I could have with this series 😢
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.
I love VK and VKM. If you like vampire manga I strongly recommend Rosario Vampire. The anime doesn't do the manga any justice. It's really dark.
Also, Blood Mary. It's ten volumes and no its not boys love.
Once again, Zero was the best character.
Never completed the original manga run when i was younger (library was the only place i could get them) this is a great video. How they ended up doing a siblings in love scenario again is wilddddd
So glad you made these, so much easier to keep up on the series. Have you ever read the manga black bird?
The absolute hilarity of the out of context "At least they can't have children" I'm dying on the floor laughing over that one
It had a sequel!?
still publishing 1 volume a year
I love how he said most people got into it around middle school even tho I was in the third grade 😂
Yori and Aido were my only ship since the first episode 😂
Kaname and zero should've hooked up.
I recall both liking Memories and eyes glazing over while reading.
The fact that they retconned the incest and put us through all that gross shit for nOTHING
What lip color are you wearing?!
You look so good ❤ keep doing it
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 just feel they should reboot the anime ❤ we need more !!!!
YAY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ON THIS
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!
Vampire Knight still holds a special place in my heart ^^
ngl, the vampire Knight videos kinda wanna make me watch it or read it. It looks good
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
You are keeping me fed, in good health, bubba my skin is glowing. Thank. You. Binch. 10/10
I really like the little makeup u have on, you look pretty
I dropped vampire knight because of the sibling romance.
I’d love to see you watch/do an analysis on devils line 😊
I like watching the time on the Switch homescreen during the videos
You should watch dance in the vampire Bund!
That show is vampires, werewolves, and all sorts of things that seems messed up or actually are messed up.
The manga is better, btw.
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
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!!
i kind of hate how in the sequel aido's gay crush on kaname was retconned by his very not gay crush on yuki's friend that i never remember the name of. like i remember aido was always one of my favourite characters cause his story to me was just so tragic. like he loved this powerful complicated vampire being, having basically almost like a teenage girl crush on him and then kaname does all this shit, kills his father, hooks up with his own sister, sacrifices himself and basically barely cares for aido's loyalty that never weavers and straight up ignored his feelings. my baby deserved so much better. ... and then you get to memories and oh, never mind, aido is totally fine, not a tragic hero at all, is in love with a girl. like japan, honey, pls stop. i would've even been fine with it if he was actually bi. but his crush on kaname never really comes up again. or at least not in a "let me address these romantic feelings for a guy i had. i now have similar feelings for a girl. guess i moved on and am into girl also." like nope. it's so annoying to me. i just love aido so much. he is so underrated. he is so sidelined and is still my favourite character in this entire series. zero is annoying af to me and kaname is just... kaname. he changed personalities like 3 times. it's like there are 3 different kaname's. but aido. mna, i always loved aido. from the moment he was introduced. he's just so my type. and he was done so dirty by the story in my opinion
The manga writer needs to put down the pencil and pick the therapist hand book
Oh my gosh you look so pretty it's crazy 😮😮
