Vampire Knight Guilty


The second season of Vampire Knight reveals more information about the protagonists Yuki, Zero, and Kaname. Kaname in particular has more background and plays a more important role in Yuki's life than in the first season. A bigger conspiracy is revealed and new characters are introduced. The Hunter's Association is after Zero's life; Kaname is going after powerful vampires to obtain power; a mysterious girl joins the Night Class; and Yuki's waking nightmares are becoming frequent.

The series is filled with anticipation, as if anytime something remarkable is about to happen. It didn't disappoint in the seventh episode when the growing tension finally reached its peak. Like the previous season, the overall mood is maintained. The fight scenes haven't improved however even with the appearance of the vampire hunters. As for their love story, some would probably think the final episode is heartbreaking but I think the clues just made it all the more confusing and is therefore unresolved. Vampire Knight Guilty is much better than the previous episode by introducing more characters to add more depth to the stories of Zero, Yuki, and Kaname. It doesn't change the fact however that the series is nothing more than a woman's fantasy about two good-looking guys fighting over her.

Rating: 6 out of 10
