Vampire Knight Complete Collection (BD) [Blu-ray]
N**E
Lovely Box Set and Epic Show
I originally saw Vampire Knight because my best friend pestered me to watch it, and I was hooked by the end of episode one.The show captured my imagination -and my heart- for the vampires. For me, thats saying something, since I don't normally like vampires. I've been toying with Learning Japanese since I first saw Vampire Knight, and I now find the original Japanese somewhat useful when wanting to see if they said what I think they did.I enjoy both languages of the show, though I chiefly prefer the English dub since I adore the wonderful cast they have, and it was the first way I saw the show.---Packaging and DVD's---The version I saw was the Copy the library had, and while it initially disappointed me -at least a little- at the fact that the first disk is double sided, however, I'm completely used to it.Recently I decided I wanted to see it again, and so I bought season one. Please note that when the Description says 'Complete Series' 'Series' in this case means 'Season', so no one gets confused.The case is the size of a normal DVD case, with a slip cover. Episodes 1-4 are on Disk 1 Side A, while Episodes 5-8 are on Disk 1 Side B. Episodes 9-13 are on Disk 2 along with a Relationship Chart.My case came with a sample chapter of the first Manga inside, though everyone else says theirs is empty.All-in-all, a great product, and a wonderful show to watch again and again!

Great DVD Collection
This was a great series. I definitely recommend reading the Manga if you are a fan. It has many elements that you may not see in the DVD. But the series was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. It is available to watch in both English and Japanese. So no worries if you want to see this in English (It's Dubbed). I really liked the emotion in this series. They captured love, hate, and all the complexities within the series very well. And the comic relief is very good; Idol really takes that home. The characters Kaname, Zero, and Yuki are represented well and this is a must see for anyone who enjoys Vampire/Romance/Anime. It is a great one to watch and I recommend it for anyone who read the Manga.

Exactly As Advertised
Of course it helps that Vampire Knight is such a wonderful series itself, but the DVD is in great shape, arrived quickly, and has all the episodes and features it boasted.The entire Season 1 is on there with some really neat cover art on the inside and outside of the case. It comes in Japanese with English subtitles and English dub (a relief if you're like me and had to watch the show on hulu the first time in only Japanese!).I would recommend this purchase to anyone who is a fan of the series and would like it in his/her collection.The show has adult themes but is safe for any child 13 and older. For me, this is one of the best stories surrounding the vampire saga I've seen in a long time. ("Twilight" and others greatly pale in comparison.)Hope you enjoy!

I don't usually write a review...
However, this anime was amazing. From the opening music to the closing music. Everything about it screams gothic and the music really puts you into the mood with what the anime is all about: darkness, romance and secrets. I don't usually write a review...I think this is my first one actually, I just had to say this is an amazing anime. It took be my the neck(;D) the first episode and I was hooked. I bought this and just finished it right now...let's just say I already bought all next season already :) I love Zero (even more so since the man who dubs his voice is the main character from the anime AIR TV, which I recommend as well.)Can't wait to find out what happens next...I hope Zero ends up with Yuki. >w<!!!<3

Absolutely LOVE this show.
I had first watched this season online and loved it. So, when I was at Walmart I decided to buy what I thought was the first season. However, it was the second season so I just ordered this online. This series is amazing. I have always been a huge fan of anime and vampires. So what better way to enjoy the two things I love than getting Vampire Knight. It is a series full of love, revenge, jealously, and many other things all at the same time. I would definately recommend this to anyone who loves anime.I also wanted to comment on something that people were writing. One of the disks are double sided so all of the episodes are there. The first disk is double sided.

Season 1 boxset of Vampire Knight is pretty cool.
If you love Vampire Knight, then you'll love having this boxset. I appreciate boxsets of series I'm going to watch over and over again because they take less shelf space. The voice acting is great in both Japanese and English. The animation is beautiful. The characters are deep. The story about the politics of vampires is intriguing. The 5 star rating is totally for the series itself.However, I am extremely disappointed in Viz's packaging. While I patiently waited for a boxset to come out, I was annoyed by the packaging. The DVDs themselves are flip discs. In other words, there's no artwork on the DVDs because you have to play side A and then flip it to side B. I hate those kinds of DVDs. They are extremely easy to scratch. It makes me reluctant to buy the season 2 boxset, which I really want. I'm hoping that Viz will make more of an effort and package the 2 seasons into 1 boxset without using flip discs. (I'm not sure if that's the technical name for them. It's just what I call them.) I would have much rather had 3 DVDs and paid a few dollars more than the flips. Also, there was no insert artwork in the sleeve. If I didn't love this series so much, I wouldn't have bothered buying the DVDs. Viz's new approach to saving money making DVDs is making me want to save money not buying them.
