When I first started watching Vampire Knight, I remembered thinking to myself that Yuuki's uniform would look pretty good in real life. Slightly different from the usual sailor schoolgirl uniforms, its design seemed more intricate and easier to carry off as well.
Lo' and behold, look what I found whilst out browsing randomly!
The design of the uniform looks to be pretty accurate, and I think people might actually look good in this. >_<
ココロ or kokoro (meaning heart) is an original song from one of the Vocaloids, Kagamine Rin. The version used in this video is by 粉. I think it is about a scientist having created a robot but unable to program a 'heart' for it. Only after a few hundred years have past, being left all alone, does the robot begin to experience emotions and understand why it was born, realizing that it must have been painful being alone. The song then ends with Rin giving thanks to the professor. Enjoy! :)
Described by some as somewhat haunting (though it does not sound all that haunting to me), this is the debut single of singer and cellist , Kanon Wakeshima. It is also used as the ending theme for the anime, Vampire Knight.
Sentan Island. A neutral area amidst the war between the Northern Government and the Southern Continent Free Zone, its residents are
able to continue with their daily lives peacefully.
However, the tranquility is shattered when an explosion rocks a local school bus and humanform creatures attack the island.
Caught in the bus explosion,
Akiyuki Takehara has a hiruko embedded into his arm that transforms him into a creature called a Xam'd. Though not comprehending the event that transpired, he is drawn into
battle with a humanform creature, following which a red-haired Tessik girl, Nakiami, appears and offers him the choice to follow her and live, or turn to stone should he choose to stay.
Brought onto the 'postal ship' captained by Ishu, Akiyuki embarks on a journey to understand what the hiruko seeks as well as to eventually forgive the person who caused him
to turn into a Xam'd.
Besides Akiyuki, the story also revolves a little around his friends Haru and Furuichi who were also involved in the bus explosion somewhat. A good
portion so far is also focused on Nakiami.
Xam'd is released subtitled on the Playstation Store as a video download. Apart from its interesting cast of characters, the visuals are pretty good and coupled
with a nice soundtrack and engaging story, make for an enjoyable watch despite it remaining under the radar of most anime watchers.
