Vampire Knight Guilty E10-13, "Prelude to the Battle/Tatakai no Pureryūdo/戦いの序曲" & "Two Souls/Futari no Raibuzu/二人の命" & "World's End/Sekai no Piriodo/世界の果て" & "Vampire's Knight/Vanpaia no Naito/ヴァンパイアの騎士"

Today I'm covering the final four episodes of Vampire Knight: Guilty, and I am honestly just so happy to be done. The ending of the show is 100% completely my nightmare outcome, and I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty pissed off. This story made me want to go be a hermit alone in the woods somewhere. Please let Castlevania be better, because that's what I'll be watching next.

Dying

MAYOR: No. No, she took the fight outside. My Faith doesn't like to be cooped up. Walks over to the vampire. We have to find them. Put everyone on it. Do it now. Vampire: But Sir, the ascension- MAYOR: Find them! (talking to himself) Faith's a good girl. She can take anything they'll throw at her. She's going to be all right. She'll be all right. She'll be all right.

I know it's my simblr and I'm going to post whatever I want and I post because Ilike posting - not for the sake of keeping followers happy (even though the love I'm getting is amazing), but I just couldn't help but wonder ^-^" Thank you guys for taking the time to answer my silly question, I do tend to get a little insecure at times and I know often there's no need to do that. But now I'm just rambling　. I just wanted to say thanks and I hope you'll all have a nice day/evening.

Castlevania S2E4-6, “Broken Mast” & “Last Spell” & “The River”

Today, I'm covering Castlevania season 2 episodes 4-6, and Carmilla is just such a queen. Pity her plan got upstaged by Sypha's spell. I assume we're going to have some degree of Dracula v. Belmont/Sypha/Alucard confrontation in the next two episodes, though, so I very much wonder how that's going to go. Surely it's not going to be the final showdown already, right? There's two entire seasons more to go!

Castlevania S2E1-3, “War Council” & “Old Homes” & “Shadow Battles”

Today, I'm covering Castlevania season 2 episodes 1-3, and this was such a promising season opening. Brace yourselves, my friends, because I plan to gush over Carmilla and to read for you all at least one very, very gay passage from Le Fanu's original work.

Castlevania S1E3&4, “Labyrinth” & “Monument”

Today, I'm covering the second half of Castlevania season one, and while I'm not particularly surprised by anything that happened in these episodes, I am very much enjoying them. I am so happy that I get to watch a good vampire show after being so disappointed by Vampire Knight. Alucard has been on screen for literally two seconds, and he's already everything that Kaname wishes he could be.

Castlevania S1E1&2, “Witchbottle” & “Necropolis”

Umbrella Academy S3E8&E9, "Wedding at the End of the World" & "Seven Bells"

Today I'm covering episodes eight and nine of Umbrella Academy season three, and now at last we know why “He got seven.” I'm a bit more optimistic now that the season overall will be worthwhile, but I suppose we'll have to see how the finale goes...

Vampire Knight Guilty E7-9, "The Kiss of Thorns/Ibara no Kisu/茨の口づけ" & "Spiraling Recollections/Tsuioku no Supairaru/追憶の螺旋" & "Revival of the Mad Emperor/Fukkatsu no Enperā/復活の狂王"

Today I'm covering episodes seven through nine of Vampire Knight: Guilty, aka Vampire Knight season two, and oh boy has this season been a slog!

So here I go with what I know already are straight-up fighting words: Vampire Knight is just Japanese Twilight. They're the same story. Lame toxic romance? Check! Pointless love triangle? Check! Female protagonist with half a personality at most? Check! Vastly more interesting side characters? Check! Tons of interesting backstory that gets neglected and ignored in favor of the extremely boring "romance"? Check!

That's all Twilight shit. This is just Twilight! Why is it just Twilight? And why did its fans hate Twilight so much? I'm so confused.

Vampire Knight Guilty E4-6, "Devil's Awakening/Akuma no Ribidō/悪魔の胎動" & "The Subordinate's Trap/Jūzoku no Torappu/従属の罠" & "The Fake Lovers/Itsuwari no Ravāzu/偽りの恋人"

Today I'm covering episodes four through six of Vampire Knight: Guilty, aka Vampire Knight season two, and we finally meet our "real" villain... as if Kaname isn't already clearly a villain. Maybe he's not the villain... but I find even that concept pretty suspect, tbh. Honestly, I think we're just doing villain v. villain now. Because Kaname is not a hero by any definition.

Umbrella Academy S3E6, "Marigold"

Today I'm covering episode six of Umbrella Academy season three, and Harlan's just already dead I guess? I... am worried this season is falling apart before my eyes, honestly. Is the writing worse than usual, or am I just losing it? Maybe the Hotel Oblivion stuff is gonna be fun, though? It's kinda Coraline, and I'm here for that.
