I actually SQUEE'D ALOUD several times during the episode. XD;;;
It was WONDERFUL. *0* OH GOSH, Kaname has never looked as HOT in the anime before. Same for Zero.
Only only disappointing thing, and it came as quite a blow for me: SARA. THEY CUT HER SCENE!! T_______________T
Yuuki still had her scene where she feels insecure and all, but it was because of everybody pushing their daughters onto Kaname, rather than because of Sara.
Most people won't care one least little bit, but I like Sara. XD;;;;
It's okay, I suspect they'll reintroduce her elsewhere. :D
IT'S THE PARTY EPISODE!! OMG!!! *0*
As they did last time, they rearranged things around an itty bit, and made some changes. The changes in this episode were very much all UTTERLY AWESOMELY FANGIRLABLE. XD *lol* Except for Sara being removed. ;-;
I will always inevitably prefer the manga, but I also love the anime, and as long as the changes are pleasant ones, I don't mind them. (It's not as if it was fillers, and I suspect that the plot probably comes from Hino-sensei anyway. XD In any case, it's not clashing with the manga stuff.<3)
This is THE EPISODE that is the apotheosis of fangirling for Shiki fans and Shiki x Rima fans. They had some added scenes that were AMAZING:
1) Despite not being roommates, they were getting ready for the party together... XD While Rima fed Shiki pocky into Shiki's mouth to console him for his worries about annoying people he doesn't wants to see at the party.
2) At the party itself, Shiki's uncle (well, the uncle of Shiki's mom, to be more exact) comes to bug Shiki, and it turns out he's the reason why Shiki didn't want to come.
He gets all clingy patting Shiki all over (excuse me while I fangirl rabidly XD;;), and puts a plate of food in the table, telling Shiki to eat more, because "you're too skinny. Don't go forgetting that this body isn't just yours."
So, they really raised him as a receptacle for Rido. XD;;; Poor kid.
3) When Shiki is looking unhappy after his uncle leaves, Rima (who during the talk had gently turned around to give Shiki privacy) hands him food on her fork, and Shiki eats it. (She's so totally feeding him all the time, it's awesome. XD)
If this keeps going that way, I'll be drawing Shima fanart soon. *lol* XD *moe levels rise*
Speaking of Rido, I SQUEE'D. XD He was lovely in the episode, especially the fake crying, hahaha! XD
(Well, it's Rido in the child form of that little kid he was possessing. XD Yuuki is so lucky that the body available wasn't old enough to bite her. XD;;; He clearly would have. *lol*)
Another added scene is in front of the academy gates, Cain and Luca are walking out to go to [a car to go to] the party, and Aidou is looking annoyed. Cain asks if Aidou's dad will be at the party, and it turns out that's why Aidou is annoyed...
And a scene that was changed, the scene where Kaname meets the council and asks them to remove the execution order over Zero, and also to leave Cross Academy alone.
In the manga, Kaname goes to the Council for that. In the anime, since they were already moving into the party scene, they changed that to the scene happening inside a car, between Ichiou and Kaname + Takuma.
IT WAS SO HOT. *0*
But in any case, for people who like the interaction between Kaname and Ichiou, it was WONDERFUL, AWESOME~ *squee'd then too* XD<333
Btw, I'm a detail freak and was comparing car shapes etc: Ichiou's car is a Rolls Royce! *_*
I'd suspected it would be something classic like that, but hadn't been able to quite compare before. Am now fangirly and saving reference pics of rolls royce cars for future fanart drawing, hahaha. XD;;
I had wondered at first if it was a Jaguar, because the little symbol at the front is not the normal Rolls Royce one, but that's probably for the usual copyright etc reasons. Everything else is indeed right. :)
And speaking of changes: Ichiru appears at the party, and tells Zero he's officially working for the council. (In the manga, it wasn't quite clear whether he was working for the council itself or whether he'd infiltrated Shiki the elder's place on his own before being taken in. Ichiou in the manga had mentioned being worried about Rido's whims in keeping Ichiru around. It was almost as if Rido had taken in a pet that the council was a bit worried whether it might bite or not. XD *lol* But then again, Rido is around in the anime too, so it could also be that it's his idea that they took in Ichiru.)
In any case, Ichiru was hot. XD So was Yagari~!<3
Unlike in the manga, the council was more present at the party, despite it being hosted by the monarchy supporting side (well, they're not officially 'monarchy supporting', but from what was said of the political tendencies of the families in the manga, Aidou's family is first and foremost loyal to Kaname, and would have wished to see him King, rather than be ruled by the council.)
So some people are staring at Ichiou not too happily.
*moes more* XD;;; *lol*
Gah, I love VK. *-*
*ahem* XD;; *continues summary*
The Kaname & Yuuki scene we were all waiting for, from the PV... It's in this episode!! \*0*/
AND IT'S WONDERFUL!!
Never has Kaname been so beautifully animated. HIS HAIR, WAAAH~! HIS LIPS, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! *DIES*
WORDS CANNOT DO IT JUSTICE~ *explodes in a giant nosebleed*
I bet his hair feels soft, gyah... *wants to touch it* XD:;;
*ahem*
AAAHhhh, can't type properly, fangirling too hard. XD;;;;;
His lips look soft. *passes out*
XD;;; *JOY* I'm so glad I lived to see this animated. XD *rotfl*
As you can see, I am very happy with the episode. XD XD<333
Currently am too hyper to remember if I forgot any other scenes, but uhm, I'll edit the post or something once I get to re-watch it. XD XD
Edit: (Already. XD;;) Forgot to say, at the end of the episode we see Yuuki returning to the academy (the scene with Yori and all), and she's thinking of it all... I thought it was weird that they added Zero in the little snow thingie when this was supposed to be a Yuuki thinking of Kaname scene, and the Zero with Yuuki scenes are already all over the anime normally.
I love the addition of Zero standing in the snow looking up, though. That was awesome.
But the image of Zero and Yuuki in the snow flake things was maybe an unnecessary addition. Or at least it should have been the two and Kaname as well. XD
But it's not a major problem or anything.
After that, there's also the next day scene, where Kaname passes by Yuuki and tells her he knows she was sincere. :) (She's been angsting that her tears might have made him disappointed, thinking she wasn't serious.)
I suspect that was animated prior to the other ones, as the animation style is a bit more like the first season than in the wonderful scenes. Either that or they put more care into animating the more important scenes, which is fine too. :D
Oh, and lastly, there was a commercial for the anime, a bit before it played (Yes, I'm a freak who is glued to TV Tokyo a while in advance in case there's an inteesting ad or somehting. XDD *lol*), and so it showed a few scenes, among which Kaname in the window frame of the room, coming to pick up Yuuki... you know, just before chapter 35 of the manga. *0* *can't wait* XD XD
As usually, when the episode pops up on Veoh or Youtube I'll be posting links to it in this post, that way people who can't torrent or want to watch right away can watch it! :D
If you spot it on either site before I do, please post a link in the comments to let me know so I can add the link to this post? :D
Once there's a raw out online, I'll try and upload it to a direct download place like I did last time, so that people who can't torrent can download it right away. :D
So stay tuned, as this would all be in edits of this post~ :D
I shall now go roll myself on the ground while squeeing some more* XD;;; *fangirls the episode SO MUCH* XD<333
I need the soundtrack for this season SO MUCH. *-* Come out fast, lovely CD!! *wants, adores the music*
EDIT:
Horrible Raws has a torrent out for episode 2!
I'll post the link here when I have it.
Direct download:
I uploaded the HorribleRaws release onto Sendspace, so if you want a direct download, here it is. :D
EDIT:
The episode is now also on Youtube!
Thank you Kaitosukiyo for uploading it, and

Yeah... I hope not, I don't think they'd go as far as changing the ending. (They respect Hino-sensei's work a lot after all, despite those smaller changes.) But they'd make the angst heighten for the Zero fans maybe. XD Hopefully not at the detriment of Kaname. :)
You're welcome! XD Good luck! :D

I'm off to watch it. Won't be able to understand a thing but all the prettiness you've described will tide me over until the subs are out. Yuuki having her arms around Kaname on that sofa is one of my favorite drawings in the manga. It's so very touching to see Kaname so vulnerable. I hope it's in the anime!

Theory
I kind of have a theory about the Anime. I think that they changed it so that the little boy is actually Shiki's little brother, if he wasn't, anyway, in the manga.It was only a two-second or so scene, but you can clearly see that they changed the little boy's "mama" from an old lady to a woman with long crimson hair who seems shockingly similar to Senri's mother.
I dunno. Studio DEEN seems to be doing a lot of re-working of the plotline (*cough* Ichiru scenes instead of introducing Sara *cough*) lately. Before it was just Episode 3 and 13 that were major changes, but both 14 AND 15 have been reworked madly, and winged somewhat.
So what if they end up making their OWN ending instead of making Seasons 3 and 4 (If VK Part 1 is two seasons, Part 2 would be two seasons too, right?). I'm cringing at the thought of it...
October 13 2008, 19:07:48 UTC 3 years ago
Re: Theory
Interesting theory~! Although I don't think she was an old lady in the manga. She just had light colored hair, but she looked youngand sexy. XD:DI just rewatched to check, and while you're right that the boy's mom in the anime has red hair, she still has the same short hair hairstyle then from the manga, so I don't think it's Shiki's mom, unless she cut her hair. (Could it be that what you saw that seemed like long hair was that fluffy collar of her coat? I just did an image-by-image pause. :D)
However, it is quite possibly someone from Shiki's family, as we know their ties with Rido through the council. :)
I hope they won't just make their own ending. I'm thinking that either way, they'll be getting guidance from Hino-sensei as to what direction to aim at, and I'm thinking that maybe they'll leave an open ending at the end of the first arc or something, and then possibly animate more later when the manga is farther ahead... Because considering the speed of things, unless the manga chapters become longer, I'm not sure how they could keept up with a similar speed. ^^;
Either way, yeah, inevitably I worry too, but I'm hopeful still for now, on light of previous things such as them respecting Hino-sensei's story and all a lot, as she had said in free talks and interviews. (Not that she'd have said they were jerks if it was the case, but I don't get that vibe. *rotfl* XD XD)

Other than that, the HAIR~!! God dammit, THE HAIR! *hands itching to touch Kaname's hair* Yuuki, you are a LUCKY lady~!!!!
Well, at least, us Kanayuki fans will rejoice in this episode for a whole week, even if, no doubt, the uneccessary additions of Zeki will once more commence next week.
October 13 2008, 20:32:45 UTC 3 years ago
YES for Kaname x Yuuki porn. *wants to do that too* XD XD
I kept thinking "OMG, SO WANT to be in Yuuki's place on the couch and touch his hair." Of course, in such a case, who could stop at the hair alone? XDDD *urge to throw Kaname down on the couch and molest him* XD XD *rotfl*

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ANYONE NOTICE THAT YUUKI LOOKS LIKE A YOUNGER VERSION OF KANAME WHEN SHE WAS IN THE TRENCHCOAT? It's at around the first minute of the episode when the little boy comes crying to Yori and Yuuki.
maybe it's just my overactive imaginationBut i think Yuuki in that trenchcoat thingy really looks like a young Kaname! XDXDXDXDSQUEEEEEE
*tries to keep Kaname x Yuuki fangirl side in check before she drives everyone crazy*
October 13 2008, 21:02:02 UTC 3 years ago
I collect all the moments where we could just ignore that it's Yuuki and claim it's young!Kaname, hahaha. XD
She's IDENTICAL to him in that scene, and it's precisely why I love it so much. XD XD *lol*
Don't worry, throes of Kaname x Yuuki fangirling are most welcome here~ XD XD<3
In fact, all fangirling is welcome here, regardless of which pairing. XD XD *VK happiness & moe*

I'm not so fan of Ichiru, yet i'm happy for the inclusion of him in other things in the anime. I think that maybe he will like me (not a lot, but at least more than his brother~).
And i'm expecting the appearance of Rido in his true form *OMG* *OMG* the kid was really nice and marvelous mischievous, yada, yada, ya. Yet i want to see the sexy real Rido *O*
Shiki and Rima are nice couple, is....cute their relationship...yet i prefer Shiki/Takuma lol.
Thank you again for the summary ^^
October 17 2008, 00:10:17 UTC 3 years ago
I'm SO looking forward to seeing Rido too! X333

*loves everything which is concerned with Kaname-sama*
So lovely the scene between the two;
I also remember when the manga was at the beginnig(2005 I guess) and thought they´re siblings, but then realized "he´s vampire and she´s human, it can´t be" xD
It has made my day *-*

But what, no Sara? Bummer. She's a lovely character too.
October 17 2008, 00:12:41 UTC 3 years ago
yeah! XD; I'm hoping they're going to introduce her in another scene. :)
October 14 2008, 01:34:31 UTC 3 years ago
I've got to say, DEEN did an AWESOME job with this! Though I was also upset with Sara disappearing. Maybe she was too minor? ;-; She only appeared once and all...
It also bugs me that Ruka is wearing the same dress from the dance at the school...is it just me?
October 14 2008, 01:42:22 UTC 3 years ago
The dress bugged me a tidbit too, hahaha. XD
I'm thinking they're saving Sara for another scene maybe? ^^/
