Vampire Knight Guilty

Production: Studio DEEN, Aniplex, NAS, SoftBank Creative Corp., TV Tokyo & Vampire Knight Production Commitee
Episodes: 13
Summary: As a direct continuation of the first season, Zero comes back after his disappearance from the Academy. Despite her relief, Yuuki, whose past is still shrouded in mystery, wonders what exactly happened to Zero during the separation. As Zero continues having the strange vision that appeared since the day he drank Kaname's blood, he visits the now awakened Maria Kurenai in an attempt to find answers. She only provides him with a cryptic answer that suggests who the true enemy really might be. In the meantime, vampires from the Supreme Vampire Council arrive at the academy in order to punish Zero with death for his sin of killing a pureblood. However, Kaname intervenes with the council's decision with not only the intention of saving Zero but with another purpose unbeknown to everyone around him.

Story: The story this season is a lot more darker and serious. Not that it doesn't have it's little funny moments, but the overall tone of the story is creepy. It seems like the writers had a lot more time to think this plot through and work out a good story.

Art: The artwork honestly didn't seem to improve over this next season. At least they didn't have konky drawn eyes this time!

Sound: I wasn't impressed. The ED was the only song that seemed to fit with the mood and style. The voice actors were the same as well.

Character: Don't even get me started on the characters! They're so freaking shallow and pathetic. My god, Yuuki, was so transparent, I could see right through her. It gave me a headache!

Enjoyment: I would have definitely enjoyed this some much more if the 2 dimensional. 

Overall: It was okay, but definitely had more potential to be more.

Score: 2/5
