(This review may contain spoliers and also contains Twilight bashing)
Basic Summary:
The series evolves around the main character Karin, a abnormal Vampire. Who in stead of drinking blood injects the blood in the person. Besides from that, she also can go out in the sun, eat human food and basely live a normal teen aged girl's life..Well that was the life she was living until a transfer student named Kenta Usui came to her school. Everytime he came around her, Karin's blood would increase (this causing nosebleeds). Karin finds out that the reason for this is beacuse her blood type is 'unhappiness', and Kenta is very unhappy. She then makes her plan to make Kenta happy in order to stop her blood increasing and return to a normal life. Things happen and that normal life goes threw the window when Kenta learns she is a vampire, a vampire hunter comes to there school and her sleeping grandma wakes up. The Anime follows Karin's school life and her growing relationship with Kenta.
My Review:
I don't like romantic animes all that much..but i do enjoy romatic comdemys (Odd) XD. I decided to watch Karin after a friend told me about it, now I was really worryed about this..My friend is a lover of the twilight series(a series that I all want to do is burn..), and she said that Karin is the anime version of that trash..I mean book. Well it can be say there are simitaries between the two, I'm very glad to say that Karin is nothing like Twilight. Thank God.
Karin was funny when it needed to be, and emotional at other times..which mixed very well. I really liked the characters. All of them had there own traits that made them all that likeable. In fact I found that I liked all the characters and couldn't find one I hated or disliked. The only one that came close to me disliking was Karin herself. As I usually hate hate anime girls who are always going on and on about wanting a normal life. Karin loves her family and friends and at the last episode was ready to give up her normal life for her family. Out of all Characters my favorite has to be Winner XD He was funny!! xD and Hot (MORE XD) I liked Winner for his goodness(It's a word XD), even when he was being a nerd or a jerk he cared about others and tried to protect the innocents from Vampires. He also choose to do the right thing later on when his uncle told him to shot Karin for being a vampire..he could not because he loved her.
Which brings up something, I noticed that as the series when that Karin was getting more and more depressing. Wasn't this suppose to be a comdey? Not that I'm saying thing against making more depressed scenes it just some times these depressed scenes seemed really out of place.
I did enjoy the anime but at certain points I could be heard saying, "WTF?!" Over and over. THE LAST EPISODE. It was going so well..Sad but well. I was crying over the (seenly) deaths of Karin's family..mostly Ren XD When suddenly the bad guy cuts open Karin's shirt. ...And The bad guy falls over in faint and the others live. WTF? The Bad guy, who badly hurt four other vampires was taking out by BOOBS?! That even weirdly then zombie boy having a kid(Talking about you Edward Cullen.)
All in all I liked it. Not one of my favorites and not something I watch again mostly because I found it very chessy, the realtionship too fast, and Winner should have got more scenes.
Well that's my opinion and BTW..The episode about Ren in a all boy's school? FAVORITE EPISODE. SO MUCH YAOI GOODNESS
Rating: 3 and 1/2 stars out of ten
