Before seeing this anime I had high expectations as it was a well known anime and it seemed quite serious, but when I saw it the only question I asked myself was why do people like this? It's super slow and boring that it doesn't even look like it has a plot. The truth is that none of the episodes were exciting and a couple of times I got lost in my thoughts because of how boring it was. I'm not going to criticize its animation because that doesn't matter in my ratings, but I have to admit that I didn't like it at all, I know it's an old series but it's a vampire series!!! More character moves or fights would have been great and that would keep me from falling asleep. The music is great and I feel like it's a lot for this anime, it doesn't fit. If I had to watch the opening and ending without watching the series, I would think it is a gothic, gore and serious anime but this is more like a romantic comedy that plays sexy vampires. The love triangle doesn't work either. Yuki could leave at any time with Kaname (who is also a super flat character) as Zero always treats her aloof. I understand the situation and that it is something of the character and for a couple of chapters it is fine, but in each chapter during a season behaving like that is overwhelming and boring, and the plot does not advance. Yuki as a character was fine, she was different from the rest of the protagonists in this type of anime, but then she begins to behave like one more and her character falls low. What bothers me the most is that what they counted in 13 chapters could have been counted in 6. I saw myself repeating on the screen all the time: is something going to happen?, This is boring, how much longer? ... In the end, the plot is based on Zero, but we couldn't even feel empathy for him because he was always distant, and that's a big problem, if we don't care about the "main" character (because sometimes Zero seems to be the protagonist), How are we supposed to be interested in the series?
Personally, I think this anime draws attention for its sensuality more than for its history, vampires are treated as sexy beings and consequently there are sensual scenes, in addition to that vampires are an interesting topic for the public and that is why it became popular. Unfortunately it doesn't work, I see a lot of potential wasted in powers, in vampire fights, bloodier scenes, in character development ...
If you want to see this show, I recommend it if you are a fan of vampires and love triangles. If not, I do not recommend it, better watch the Twilight movies, they are more interesting.
