*For those of you who love animes or mangas, and read or watch Vampire Knights or Blood Plus, this might be considered a spoiler to some level, and I suggest you stop reading this now.
In all my life, i can only think of one other time I've been plagued with such devastatingly disturbing and heart wrenching emotions, as I was last night when I ventured to look into the future of my once beloved anime Vampire Knights, and that was when I watched Blood+. Vampire Knights was once a very vital part of my life up until about 12 hours ago, and I think it would be only fair that I give it a befitting farewell. If for nothing, simply for the existence of beauties like Kuran Kaname, Aidou, Zero, Ichirou and the rest. Haven said that, lets begin.
WHAT. THE. F&*%!?!?!?!
I've tolerated a lot of things when it comes to me and animes/mangas, but being led on for so long is not something I can stand ever! To actually think I began the story thinking that there was some form of romance blooming, only to find out that Kaname and Yuuki are siblings, and that the love she has for Zero is nothing more than sibling or agape love was heart wrenching. I mean seriously, his sister? That gave me the same feeling I got when I watched the last episode of Blood+. Yes, just after Hajji kissed Saya, the act we all waited for, he said I love you, and proceeded to die at the very last second, the ultimate love sacrifice. (Oh did I mention that I hate self-sacrifice? Guess not. Yes I am one of those that believes there is another way out, other than becoming a martyr in such a situation).
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only do all those gorgeous beauties go to waste, another anime I have encountered like this, but the anime suddenly lost its theme, and probably the purpose for being aired as far as I can tell. I mean the reason I watched it was the fact that there was going to be some love battle and then finally she would decide who to be with. Of course there were wars and things going on in the Vampire Kingdom that had not been explained and which added to the thrill, but as far as I am concerned, the love story was the foundation of that anime. In essence, Vampire Knights crumbled after I saw that.
It pains me that I would no longer be able to talk about the existence of such magnificent beauties as I have been fortunate to encounter in Vampire Knights, mainly because my BFF and I have an unspoken rule of not dredging up sad or bad memories, so as to refrain from getting angry. I fell in love with almost all the male characters in the anime, and so I think it is only fair that I 'break this thing up' formally, and not just ditch it and run. I have to say for those who actually don't mind initial disappointments, the other side of the story about the wars and politics of the Vampire Kingdom seems pretty interesting. But I cannot bring myself to watch the anime anymore, because I would constantly be reminded of the pain I got in my heart when I found out that they were all related. I am not going to go into how sick I felt at first, when I thought of the fact that they almost veered off totally into incest, because if I do, this would be way too long, and I have an assignment to get to. I have officially decided that anything that has to do with Vampires mainly in the anime or manga world, is not for me, and I shall stay away from them until I can find, through third party connections of course, one that allows me to get my happily ever after.
One a good note, I loved the fact that Inuyasha proved itself of being worthy to be called my favorite of all time, when it came to a beautiful conclusion this week. I know some people might think it is shallow to want 'happily ever afters' only when I watch fantasies or fictions, but first off, let me say that that is totally and utterly your problem. I watch things to escape the real world, and not to be reminded of it. If I wanted to see a sad tale, all I have to do is take up residence at some house in the world, and I would be sure to get a sad tale sooner or later. If its a fantasy or fiction, don't build up a possible happy ending and crash just two seconds before you show "The End". That way I can stay away from the movie if I see where its headed in time, and then take the blame for watching something I don't want, if I decide to proceed.
I truly would miss the Vampire Knights I originally started watching, and to that I bid
悲しい別れを告げる。( a sad farewell to you).
-また後で (See you later).

all i can say is 'beautifully written.'
you see, whats nice about having a best friend is the fact that when one speaks-on whatever particular matter-, the other does not need to. i rest my case.
