Vampire Knight

PLOT: Yuki's earliest memory is of a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by one vampire and was saved by another, Kaname Kuran. Ten years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, has grown up and become a guardian for the school, with two purposes: To protect the Day class (humans) from the Night class (vampires)'s fangs and to protect the true identity of the Night class students from being discovered by the Day class students.

Kaname Kuran, Yuki's savior, leads the group of Night class, with the help of Takuma Ichijo. But also at her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend who was born into a family of vampire hunters and whose hatred for the vampires that destroyed everything he held dear, is now determined to kill them all and never trusts them. Through a cruel twist of fate, Zero becomes a vampire himself, having been bitten by a pureblood.

Later as the story progresses, it is revealed that Yuki is the true daughter of the Kuran family, a family of pureblood-vampires. She and Kaname were raised as siblings who are actually engaged to each other; it is normal for pureblood siblings to intermarry. Kaname awakened Yuki's 'vampire' side which was locked away by Yuki's deceased mother, who had wanted Yuki to have a better future by being a human.

This is the new anime that I'm currently watching, I haven't been a lot of animes lately because none of them interests me. But Vampire Knight got my attention, actually the graphics got my attention and the characters. So many hot bishounen and a good storyline.
Also maybe I myself is pretty interested in vampires, at the moment 3 episodes is released. At the end of episode Yuki finally knows the guy who's she knows from young is also a vampire.

The character Yuki really reminds me of Tohru from Fruits Basket, the type who looks weak but strong inside and also is protected or loved by hot looking guys. Although these type of female characters often annoys me but I'll see how this go.

I'm really am looking forward the next episode and see how this anime will go.

Chinese version of Prince of Tennis Live-Action

I was kind of expecting this to come because long time ago I read on the newspaper that a group of boys will act in a famous manga Prince of Tennis.
Lately I came across a website and there was news about the live-action and when it will be on.

There will be 20 episodes in total and will be broadcast during 2008 June.

Prince of Tennis was one of my favorite anime and it is still now, I only liked the TV series but not the whole National OVA. Right now I'm collecting the manga of it too.

I think they already got everything out of Prince of Tennis they could already, first there was the manga being released, then the anime version, then the muscial, then the live-action movie and now a Chinese version of the TV drama.
And I have seen all of them except for the upcoming TV drama, I might have got bored of the storyline already but I have to admit I'm a little curious about this Chinese version TV drama of Prince of Tennis.

By the looks of the official website, it seem like they have put a lot of thoughts in this and want to make it big. I was looking at the guy's profile from DramaWiki and was surprise by each one of their height, most of them were above 180cm. So when did guys from China has this kind of height?

I'm curious how this will go and how well they implement the CG effects.

Zombie Loan

STORY: Michiru Kita is a special girl who possesses Shinigami Eyes, which allows her to see a dark ring around a person's neck. This ring symbolizes the person's impending death; once they are marked to die, a gray ring, which is invisible to normal people, appears around their neck. Over time, the ring gets darker, and once the ring turns completely black, the person dies. Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana, two boys in her class, both have black rings around their necks, but to her surprise, they are not yet dead. It is revealed that after a tragic accident that was supposed to kill them both, the two boys made a deal with a secret loan office called the Zombie-Loan. In return for keeping them alive, the two have to hunt zombies for the loan office. When Michiru gets involved with them, she finds that her life has just become more complicated.

The new animes that I started watching lately doesn't interest me that much, I can't say it's boring or what-so-ever but it doesn't make me have the urge to watch a lot of episodes at once.
Until I started watching "Zombie Loan" this morning, simply because I got attracted to the graphics and since it's only 11 episodes I finished all in one morning.

The story was pretty interesting, as in the first episode we get to see the two main character Shito and Chika switching hands which is kind of spooky also what Michiru actually saw grabs the viewer's attention.
The 3 main characters remind me of Fruits Basket's Kyo, Yuki and Tohru. 2 guys and 1 girl, the girl being clumsy and stupid, a hot head guy and a cool/mysterious guy.

I really hate when animes endings doesn't seem like an ending, I'm not sure if the manga continues but it only have 8 volumes. I thought that they could do more episodes rather than ending it in the 1th episode. Even if there's filler I think it would still be interesting to watch.
