The January Issue of Hakusensha’s LaLa shōjo magazine has announced that the shōjo manga, Vampire Knight will be adapted into an anime series. (YESS!!!) No cast or staff has been announced.
[Plot Summary]
The horror manga takes place in Cross Academy, where the student body is divided into the “regular” Day Class and the “elite” Night Class. Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster, is one of the few people in the entire school who knows that the Night Class students are vampires. Yuki herself was attacked by a vampire — and saved by another — as a child. As such, she joins the Guardians, a student group that struggles to maintain the delicate balance between the two classes. Zero, Yuki’s childhood friend and one of the Day Class Guardians, happens to be a latent vampire who keeps sane by drinking blood voluntarily offered by Yuki. Meanwhile, the student president of the Night Class is Kaname — the same vampire who saved Yuki as a child.
[Thoughts]
I have both volumes in English and trying to get the third one. Even though the plot might be simple, I still can’t wait. There was another choice competing against Vampire Knight. It’s called Crimson Hero. Crimson Hero seems like a much more better manga to be adapted. Maybe in the later years. Not a lot of vampire animes exist, so I’m anticipating this to be good.

YES!!! Someone agrees with me about Crimson Hero! I don’t believe it! I thought I was going to be the only one to point out this injustice by the anime production companies. Cookies to you. @@@@@@@

SIMPLE? SIMPLE?! r u kidding me?! The plot is so deep later in the series that I find it hard to keep tracks of it sometimes. There are so many mysteries behind everything, like Yuki’s memory, Yuki and Kaname’s real relationship, etc. and so many other can’t-wait-to-find-outs… I have read Crimson Hero, so i’m not judging it without even knowing it. This is entirely my opinion and my point of view. I am not saying that Crimson Hero is not an excellent manga as I read it in Shojo Beat every month and love every page of it. But plot wise Vampire Knight seems like a better choice since it has many unpredictable twists, unimaginable setting and most unique of all - super hot Vampires.
