Although at first glance it may seem like your typical shoujo anime, it's not. As you get to know the characters and see the depth in them and explore their past, the vibe changes from a light and happy shoujo manga into a dark and bloody vibe. In the mist of all this you get romance. Although it comes in and out the romance is definitely there. The characters are all unique in one way or another, and you can't help but love the characters even more. Their mysterious past draws in into the anime even more, making you ponder what happened to them and why did it happen to them. The plot itself makes the fans go crazy and theories pop up left and right. Just when you think you know what's going to happen the mangaka throws something that either throws you off or completely confuses you. The music portrays the anime very well. The music also sets the mood for the anime and does a fantastic job of it.The animation was typical of any new anime: not the best but enough to get the eye. But as you continue watching the anime, you see the animation go from good to excellent and having more detail; which adds to the mood perfectly. Overall this anime is not your typical shoujo anime like many would assume. Try it and I guarantee you will like it, love it and hate it at the same time.

Vampire Knight is the first number-one hit-anime\manga.
It's super amazing and awesome anime! So mysterious and exciting!
You just can't wait for next chapter\episode.
(Just Please DO NOT MISS IT IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET!)
It's indisputable for those who have watched it before!
Here I wrote a story of each character (who I've seen her\him so far) in a short way!
It's a background of every characters in Vampire Knight~!
Yuuki
Is the hero of this amazing anime\manga. When she was five years her father died at the hand of some vampire and she was almost killed by another just if Kaname Kuran didn't save her life. She lost her memory since that horrible day. Ten years passed and now she lives in Across Academy at the chairman who raised and treated her as his daughter. The Chairman decided to make Across academy for normal and vampire students providing that vampires appear in the evening whereas normal ones in the morning period. All vampires whether guys or girls are gorgeous for all that Yuuki works as prefect and so is Zero to protect one from another. No one knows about their truly identity except Yuuki, Zero, Chairman and besides some of general assembly heads. Yuuki is good-hearted, humorous and admirer of Kaname Kuran who saved her ten years ago.
Kiryuu Zero (My Fav Character ^0^)
His parents are well-known vampire hunters. Since years ago they killed Shizuka 's pure blood boyfriend. Then she returned and killed his parents to avenge. She tricked his twin to join her range but Shizuka didn't kill Zero however she just bit him so he turn into vampire eventually. Chairman found and brought him to live with Yuuki. Zero was silent and grum all the time. He hates vampires to death especially Kaname and he can't stand that he's being one of them and always try to kill himself in any way if Yuuki doesn't stop him because he may transfer into a dangerous vampire between a moment and another thereafter can't control himself to stop sucking people's blood.
Yuri
Yuuki's friend and roommate. She is kind and silent most of the time and always try to help Yuuki when she's depressed.
NIGHT CLASS STUDENTS~!
Kuran Kaname
He is a pure blood vampire. Has strong power and saved Yuuki's life. He can't suck any normal person because if he did he may kill that person or turn him\her into vampire.
Kaname loves Yuuki and he told her so. Sometimes we may feel he's bad but other times not. Still his truth is unknown. He's completely mysterious, calm and rarely smiles.
Idou Hanabusa
He's the son of inveterate family. Troublemaker, riant most of the time and elate. Sometimes the reader doesn't know what truly he thinks about. He may act blindly and disobey Kaname's commands but he regrets that eventually. Afraid of strong sun's ray and feels lazy in the morning.
Kain Akatsuki
Idou's cousin , they're together since they're young. We can say he's the only one who understands Idou.
Ichijou Takuma
He's pure blood and Asato Ichijou's grandson. Always with Kaname and he maybe the only one who knows how to deal with him. Funny and humorous most of the time. Readers always see him joking even at serious times.
Shiki Senri
He doesn't have a big role in the beginning of the Anime\Manga.
Silent and bored most of the time. He works as magazines coverer and his friend maybe is too. His past opened in the lately chapters. His mother is an actress or famous singer but got crazy after breaking up with his father. She hates and always tells him that he looks like that dump (his father). His power is his blood that turns into robes and hurt whoever it catches.
Rima
Shiki's friend and loves him very much. Always with him and she was asking about him when he went home then never came back.
Souen Ruka
A beautiful vampire and mysterious. She's in love with Kaname who doesn't like her. She offered herself to Kaname to suck her blood so he doesn't suffer any more but he refused.
Maria
Weak and always sick. Shizuka tricked her that if she lend her
Her body for a specific period she will help her healing her sickness.
OTHER CHARACTERS~!
kurosu Cahirman
He's the head master of Across Academy. Riant character that he may act like fools. He's kind and loves Yuuki very much and always asks her to call him "Dad". Sometimes he gives the impression of being mysterious.
Touga Yagari
Zero's and his twin's trainer when their father was alive. He's a vampire hunter as well, strong and mysterious. Loves Zero and always try to help him as possible.
This is what I got so far ,, hopefully that was helpful~!

and he hate him self for being a vampire.and ect.

Yuki'nin en erken hafızası kış günü fırtınalı bir gecedir, bir vampir tarafından ısırılmış olduğu yer...ve sonra Kaname adlı başka bir vampir tarafından kurtarılmıştır.
Bu olaydan sonra 10 yıl geçmiş Yuki Cross, Cross Akademisinin müdürünün kızı olarak evlat edinilmiş, büyütülmüştür.
Cross Akademisi iki değişik grup öğrencilerden meydana gelmektedir: Gündüzcüler ve Gececiler. Alacakaranlıkta gündüzcüler yatakhanelerine döndüklerinde yolları gececilerle yani vampirlerle aynı yerden geçmektedir. Yuki Cross ve Zero Kiryu okulun koruyucularıdır ve gündüzcüleri gececilerden korumaktadırlar, yani bir nevi gardiyanlardır. Bunu yapmalarındaki tek sebep gececilerin vampirlerle dolu olmasıdır. Gececi öğrencilerden biri olan yani bir vampir olan Kaname'yle Yuki'nin karasevdası yasak bir aşkın başlangıcı mıdır? veya ona onu çeken geçmişinde bir şey mi vardır? Çünkü bu sırların dünyasında hiçbir şey göründüğü gibi değildir ve hatta yanlış bir güvenin bedeli bile ölümden daha kötü olabilmektedir...

A beautiful anime, very mysterious till the end.Sometimes a little confusing but very creative.Not a vampire lover? Neither was I but this blood thirsty anime is one to watch.The characters are all varied and have quite amusing personalities. There is a lot of mixtures of comedy, romance, suspense, drama, adventure, and a little bit of violence. It shows a great difference in the way people feel about vampires and what they sink to in the end. It also shows that vampires have some sort of power and ruling above them which they all respect and fear and that even within the types of vampires there are some that are removed from the rest.Level E's to be exact. This is a great story about a girl who loves a pure blood and unknowingly loves and is crushed on by a level e.Secrets and relationships are revealed among this mysterious and thrilling anime.A must watch.

c a woman with white hair???
Animation - It's okay and appropriate for its storyline. Not too exaggerated and flashy. I cannot comment into it much, because it has a good and proper animation.
Characters - The slight and eventual change in their attitudes, is okay but it seemed to a bit of a rush. good thing, they didn't change much especially the protagonist, Yuuki. Though, I noticed she became more of a mysterious person instead of her initial persona being a happy-go-lucky person, something similar to that.
Music - It fitted right into the theme which is more about in vampires. It gave more of a dark and/or mysterious side note. Not too perky or not to exaggerated as if the lyrics were all too 'bloody' or 'morbid'. It seemed general to me.
Storyline - The plot is overall good but the problem is that, they rushed too much that the finality didn't satisfy the viewers, much to my dismay since I'm one of them. They should've put some or little fillers but then again, this kind of story is different from those of Naruto and such. At least, some characters were solved or partly solved about their mysteries in their lives that kept us up and wonder about.
Overall - Above average but not perfect, it still lack a bit of something which I can't seem to put it. It's a more than 'so-so' grade so it's still fine.
My final comment as an avid watcher or viewer: It's a bit of a good thing, that they gave emphasis to the supporting characters first before the actual protagonist to make the viewers wonder more.
