It’s spooky season, and we’re celebrating Halloween with one of the most infamous anime of the 2000s: Vampire Knight! This so-bad-it’s-good classic has EVERYTHING: brooding vampire boys, a lose-lose love triangle, and more drama than a CW show.
In this episode, we’re diving fang-first into Vampire Knight Season 1, sharing our first impressions, favorite moments, and a breakdown of why this series still has such a cult following. We talk about why this anime feels like the Twilight of anime, unpack the messy romance between Zero, Yuki, and Kaname, and discuss whether nostalgia is the only thing keeping it alive. AND, Ali even spoils the ending for Becca live... so make sure you watch until the end for THAT reaction!
💖Don’t forget... Anime for Blondes drops new episodes every Monday, with bonus episodes the last Wednesday of each month for our Apothecary Diaries Book Club! This Wednesday we will be recapping Apothecary Diaries Light Novel Vol. 4!
💬 Let us know in the comments if you were Team Zero or Team Kaname, and tell us what cozy anime we should recap next!
Anime for Blondes is created and produced by Becca Reagan and Alisa Patience, bringing you the ultimate female-gaze takes on anime like DanDaDan, Witch Watch, The Apothecary Diaries, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Solo Leveling!
