![]() I can't remember a single romantic scene in either season that I would rewatch, and I'm usually pretty enthusiastic about corny shoujo moments. Yuki spent a lot of time with Kaname and Zero, but she didn't connect with Kaname until the end, and her scenes with Zero were just angsty melodrama. ![]() If the main focus was the love triangle, then they should have put WAY more attention on developing the two relationships. They did nothing with her being the guardian. They shouldn't have raised our expectations that Yuki would become strong if they weren't going to deliver. The twins may have been the most powerful, compelling plot element in the entire show. Kaname did improve somewhat he was less opaque and we finally understood his attachment to Yuki. Watching her chase after the villain and put herself in danger was really irritating, especially because she endangered a lot of Kaname's lackeys in the process. She was as weak as ever, but much more intent on protecting everyone, even though she had ABSOLUTELY no capacity for doing so. I hate the intro, but the ending theme makes up for it. ![]() Just for the music, suffering through the two seasons was worthwhile. One treat was how cute Chairman Kaien was once he let down his hair and took off his glasses.Īnother excellent soundtrack. I was disappointed but not surprised by the cheesiness of the monsters and the lameness of the fight scenes. However, the story was so boring and the characters' behavior so repetitive that by the climax, I just didn't care. Unlike season 1, there was some buildup to the final events, the villain was decent, and there was some resolution. ![]() I can take only so many scenes of Yuki crying and pounding her fists against his chest while he goes, "Yuuki," in his sad voice. She also kept on chasing after Kaname, begging him to tell her about her past. She continued obsessing over Zero and repeating the phrase, "I cannot hurt Zero any more than this" in her monotonous internal dialogues. ![]() I usually enjoy heroines in torment, but they didn't do much with it. It was a relief having her emotions at the forefront, instead of the previous season where she was constantly consoling the suicidal Zero. I liked Yuki's post-traumatic stress behavior, which was the reason I gave this season a try. ![]()
