 Vampire Knight!! July 13, 2010

I'm really excited for the dubbed to be finally coming out. I enjoy the sub version so much but it will be nice to be able to listen to it in a language I understand more. Like many people I am a little worried about the dubbed voice actors. Not so much Vic, who will play zero, because the character he voiced in the Air series was also a pretty "depressed" character. But I'm wondering how Yuki's voice is going to sound. The voice actresses for her in the sub I feel is just so perfect. But all in all I'm excited for the dub because this is one of my favorite animes, just because I enjoy the characters and their relationships. =D
A great series! July 31, 2010

Vampire Knight is a great series and this first volume doesn't disappoint. I honestly had no major issues with the English voices and was very happy that it was even offered in English. The best English (voices) match-ups were Zero, Cross, Aido and Seiren, while the weakest were Yuki (sounded very young) and Kaname but overall the English version was very good and the voice actors should only get better as they get more comfortable in their respective roles. There is always the option to watch the series in Japanese for those not happy with the English version/voices.
So excited! So far so faithful! <3 June 3, 2010

I have watched the entire first season of Vampire Knight, though in its original Japanese. When I discovered that Vic Mignogna (my personal favorite anime voice actor) would be playing a role in the English dubbed version, I was ever so much more excited! Vic Mignogna is a fantastic voice actor, and to have him playing my favorite character, Zero, in Vampire Knight will make the story that much more phenomenal! Don't miss out! This will definitely be a must-watch again and again! It is faithful to the manga, and it is a great story I have been enjoying since page 1! Go for it!

Good if you already like the manga. Also, beware of the dub. June 7, 2010

The anime isn't quite as faithful to the manga as the other review claims. Some elements are changed, and while for the most part the story is the same, unfortunately the portrayal of the characters is simplified in an often clumsy way.
I would say it's a great fun watch if you already love the manga and don't mind closing your eyes over the many flaws of the anime. But if you never read the manga, you shouldn't make the anime your introduction to VK, or you might dislike the series and its characters. It's far inferior to the manga. It's more of a very lovable bonus if you already like the manga, but it's nowhere as good.
Read the manga first, you'll enjoy the series as a whole and the anime in particular more than if you do it the other way around.
Also, the Vampire Knight fandom has so far taken rather badly the choice of Vic Mignogna to play Zero, because his voice and acting style are so different from the way Zero normally is in the original.
There was a video in which he voiced Zero for a convention, and it sparked outrage among the fans. Many feel that it's a completely different character when voiced by this actor.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's not a good actor, it's just that he insists on doing all characters his particular way rather than modifying his style to suit each series, and his style is not well suited for this character.
At least from the way he voiced him in the convention video, which was completely different from the character's personality. I can only hope that ever since that convention he might have reconsidered his approach of the character.
So the fans of Vic Mignogna are happy as the other reviewer is, but him playing Zero might not be the best choice for the series itself, because of his voice and style for him being so different from how the character normally is. (At least if things didn't change since the convention.)
If you are a fan of subtitled anime however, this shouldn't be a problem.
