Tsukune + Vampire

The ending was just like expected. Perhaps I shouldn't watch shows where every detail is so predictable. At least Ruby - perhaps the most interesting character of all - returned.

All in all Rosario + Vampire turned from my favourite show of the season into the the most annoying one. There's not even a kiss at the end, though it's clear Tsukune and Moka love each other. Argh!

Public Safety Commission + Vampire

Yes, finally this show is getting very serious. Still I'm annoyed. Why did they bring up the Public Safety Commission so late. They could have been the enemy from the very beginning.

And I can't laugh about Shirayuki popping out of nowhere anymore...though I can laugh about stalkers being stalked!

New School Term + Vampire

After the last two episodes, that felt so much like a finale to me, I can't cope what's coming now. Well, this times there's a bit more to it than usual, but it's still the old rival appears, Tsukune and friends defeat it-thing!

Sunflower + Vampire

What's that? HA? WHAT'S THAT? Am I supposed to understand that? To support that or even like that?

After some minutes I stopped and checked the net, wether I had missed one episode, because it feels like that. The story of episode 10 doesn't continue where episode 9 stopped and there's NO EXPLENATION at all, why Tsukune isn't dead and why again they try to help Ruby, though she tries to kill them...several times. I can see everybody has got his or her own story and you may understand that somebody's feelings, but if you give him or her a chance and that person tries to...well, kill you again and again, how can you keep up the hope??? This show is ways too idealistic and I almost can't stand it anymore.

While the story around Ruby felt like the series' climax it wasn't, no again another girl was added to the Tsukune-Harem and again I wonder where is this show going??? Only three episodes left. I loves this show up to the half, I feel so disappointed!!!

Summer Vacation + Vampire

Now that I'be benn near I point I gave up hope this show would ever change I come to this episode and from the very beginning it felt different. It's more obvious than ever before Tsukune and Moka love each other and I saw the ending as a great finally they come together, but now we are confronted with totally different developments. I can't await to see what's coming next. An action-loaded decisive battle - of course, Moka and the other girls crying about a big loss - maybe. Somehow it's not the type of series to end bad, but I'm always open to a good suprise.

Newspaper Club and Vampire

With 13 episodes it's now more or less half time for Rosario + Vampire. I can'tt ell you how much I enjoy this show, it's very stereotypicall and so but pure fun. Still I recognize so far we are following a strict another guy wants Moka/another girl wants Tsukune-scheme and I'm not sure where this show plans to end. I've senn many series that stayed the same till the end, but I heard the Rosario + Vampire Manga gets more serious so I hope the story in the animated version also deepens. For the first time I watchful watched the ending, where we can see Moka naked with Tsukune, tsukune half dead because the vampire sucks his blood, all girls fighting like they have to save the world, a frightening class teacher and Moka in chains. Is this all just symbolic and meant to be cool or are these hints what's to come?

School Swimsuit and Vampire

Goodbye and Vampire

There's not much to say about this episode. The show stays hilarious, funny and enjoyable! I like the fact the friendship of the four protagonists deepens from week to week!

Witch Girl and Vampire

Short Summary:
This time we are introduced to Sendo Yukari. She's a witch and four years younger than Moka and Tsukune, still she's in the same class. She's an outsider and nobody seems to like her. As a wicth she's half human and half-demon, she doesn't belong to any world. One day she gets bullied and Moka comes to help her. Afterwards Yukari wants to go out with Moka, because she's in love with the vampire girl. Moka agrees, but only to friendship. Yukari doesn't seem to get it right and grabs Moka's breasts. Of course Tsukune is annoyed by the little brat, especially because Yukari hates him and wants to have Moka for herself. On the other side Murumu is happy to have Tsukune for herself!

Finally Yukari gets bullied again, actually some demons want to eat her, but Moka, Tsukune and even Murumu interfere and save her, as the all know how it feels to be lonley. In the end Yukari makes friends with them and guess what - she falls in love with Tsukune.

My opinion:
Now that I've written the summary Rosario + Vampire's story seems very standard, still it's a pure funride and again I can't wait to see the next episode. Moka is so very cute and I liked the fact even Murumu came to help Yukari (or at least Tsukune). While there's a lot of obvious...too obvious fan service I enjoy the humour and development of this series. The little narrator bat makes me remember Eyeshield 21, though this one's more kawaii than Hiruma's version ^^

Succubus and Vampire

Short Summary:
Tsukune is still at the demon school, waiting for the next bus in a month to bring him home. The other pupils aren't supposed to know he is human and as time goes by even more boys can't understand why the most popular girl Moka is friends with him. One day in the forest Tsukune meets Kuruno Kurumu, she tells him she's got a weak body and falls into his arms several times and rubs her breasts on his chest. Tsukune doesn't realize Kurumu is a succubus and starts to follow her. She bewitches him so he says mean things to Moka who can't understand Tsukune's behaviour. Suddenly her rosario starts talking to her, she must save Tsukune or the succubus will kill him. So Moka comes to rescue her friend, but meanwhile Tsukune managed himself to get rid of Kurumu's charm. The succubus gets angry and decides to kill Moka and him, so Moka asks Tsukune to take off her rosario, so she can transform into a real vampire. But something is wrong, the rosario doesn't go off, so Moka offers her life to Kurumu. Tsukune is touched Moka likes him that much though he said terrible things to her and so the rosario suddenly gets off. A 76 seconds long fight starts and the succubus is defeated, Moka in her vampire form wants to remove Murumu's wings and tail, so she can never be a succubus again, but Tsukune shows mercy, as the succubus is only looking for her destined partner and had no ill intentions. The vampire transforms back into Moka and everything is fine...only that now Kurumu has decided Tsukune should be her significant other!

My opinion:
Rosario + Vampire definitley is a fun ride and I enjoy to watch it so much, also due to the good animation qualitiy. I mean, it's only a comedy series but still production quality seems high.
Moka is really super, even as a girl I can't get enough of her cute face and behaviour. It was obvious Kurumu would fall for Tsukune but it's alright. She's the opposite of Moka and spices the whole story up.

New Life and Vampire

Short Summary:
Aono Tsukune is 15 years old and about to enter High School, if only he hadn't failed the exam. Now all his friends are attending the same High School, while he is supposed to stay another year in Middle School. One evening Tsukune's father tells his son he followed a strange priest this day who dropped information about Yogai High School. Tsukune is able to attend that school, so he's on the bus, when a friend calls him and tries to tell him something about that school. The moment his friends tries to finish the sentence the connection is lost while the bus enters a tunnel. After the tunnel the world seems completely different with red water and lots of gravestones. Tsukune can't use his cell phone anymore and everything seems a bit strange.

Suddenly a bat appears that changes into a pretty pink haired girl on a bike - Akashiya Moka. By accident Tsukune touches her leg and hos nose starts to blood, as Moka is so supercute. She wants to help him wipe away the blood, but when she smells the blood she kisses/bites his neck. Moka is a vampire and asks Tsukune to become her friend. Tsukune dosn't really believe her and says vampieres are good people and that it's interesting to be different. At school he gets to know he's the only human being among demons. The school is protected by a spell, normally every human that tries to enter school gets killed. The school rules urge all pupils to keep a human shape and not to show their true yogai-form. Now that tsukune already knows Moka is a vampire she tells him about the Rosario she wears around her neck. If it gets loose she will turn into a real scary vampire.

One of the pupils doesn't like Moka spending time with Tsukune and follows the during lunch brake. Though he is very strong Moka prefers to spend time with Tsukune, who is more and more scared and decides to leave school. Moka begs him to stay, as she hates humans. She attended a normal Middle School and never found any friends, but Tsukune is too scared and tells her he's a human and doesn't want to be friends with her.

He runs to the bus stop and Moka follows him, but not only she, also the strong other pupil. He transforms into his real cannibal form and hurts Moka, so Tsukune comes back to help her. Of course there's no chance he could defeat the yogai, but he tries and tells Moka that he loves her, even if she's a vampire. Soon after he faints and pulls down Moka's rosario. She changes into a red eyed, silver haired, super strong vampire and kicks the other guy's ass. When Tsukune finally awakes Moka is back to normal and he asks himself who's the true Moka. However he has to /wants to stay at Yogai High School, as the bus is only running once per month.

My opinion:
Though this show is a bit crazy I got to like the main characters Moka and Tsukune very fast. The pacing is good, the story is not unique, but entertaining and so I'm looking forward to the next episode.
