As more action creeps into the plot it becomes clearer that either a) Sayama doesn't care about it, or b) she's no good at it. Brief and unmemorable, the action scenes are the closest the series gets to being perfunctory. So little attention is paid to them that they become essentially interchangeable. (That they're repetitive doesn't help—Yuki must smell really tasty to get attacked every time she goes into town.) Sayama's heart is obviously in the less flashy aspects of her art: the use of shadow and wandering lens to evoke past masters of gothic film, the exquisite way Yuki trembles when Zero tests her resolve, the aching loneliness of Zero's posture, the subtle interplay of gorgeous score and decaying architecture, the flare of suppressed emotion in Kaname's eyes, even the cannily deployed sight gags. As well it should be. From such things is Vampire Knight's appeal built.

Plot Summary: The heroine, Tsukiko, enrolled to a school that was recently changed from all-boys school to co-ed. Since the area where the school is conveniently rural and the rather exclusive curriculums the school has, up until now the heroine is the only one female who enrolled to the school.

Genres: romance, slice of life

Being very light in nature, the character designs for Mini-Goddesses is overly cute. Approaching the super-deformed or chibi style are the designs for each of the Goddesses, Belldandy, Urd and Skuld. Colors and backgrounds are bright in nature, without a lot of detail to cloud the picture.

Both the Japanese and English soundtracks are playing for laughs. The casts on both sides are small, due to the limited number of characters running around. Scriptwise, the English track stays fairly close to the Japanese track with substitutions made for mouth flaps and some of the more hard to follow Japanese puns. Overall, the English cast performs well carrying out the overall fun tone of the show.

Just because its Japanese Anime doesn't mean it has to be serious and dramatic in nature? Take the case of The Adventures of Mini-Goddess. These 12-minute adventures are strictly about entertainment. There are no major villains, no underlying back-story and no limits to the zaniness that Skuld and Urd get up to with their rat friend, Gan-Chan. The first volume in this new DVD series, The Gan-Chan Files, contains the first 12 episodes. Each one features the goddesses trying to help poor Gan-Chan with the typical zany results viewers would expect.

Extras wise, the disc is rather weak. There's only a color gallery featuring Belldandy. Of course, the lack of extras is made up for by the fact that the disc contains 12 episodes, which would be equivalent to 6 regular time episodes.

For the most part, each of the stories told on this disc are self-contained. They all have the same basic plot line, with Gan-Chan wanting something and Urd and Skuld trying to help him out. Of course, despite their good intentions, something always seems to go wrong and Gan-Chan usually ends up having to be saved by Belldandy. Despite this obvious predictability, each story remains fun in tone and is always worth a few chuckles. At other times, things are laugh out loud funny as Skuld and Urd just cause more trouble for Gan-Chan. There are quite a few Japanese puns and other pop-culture references, but nothing a savvy audience couldn't keep up with.

What puts the pleasure in is the poignancy of those melodramatic excesses, and the paradoxical reserve of Kiyoko Sayama's direction. Sayama presents Matsuri Hino's increasingly twisted skein of unhealthy attachments and repressed feelings with sensitivity and keen insight, teasing nuances out of Zero and Yuki's relationship in particular that even the original couldn't. She also has an instinct for understatement and circumspection that, by forcing you to dig for meaning, can make even the most obvious facts seem revelatory and the most overwrought emotions seem subtle. It's fair to say that no other director could have so handily wrestled what by rights should have been an embarrassment into such an unwholesomely involving gothic serial.

Even as it broadens its horizons (a bit) and prepares for its final arc (viva la cliffhanger hint!), Vampire Knight's essence remains unchanged. It's a melodrama fashioned to squeeze fangirls until they squeal, told with a tragedian's eye for emotional development and an entertainer's instinct for the narrative hook. It'll never appeal to the sparkly-vampires-make-my-cerebral-arteries-explode crowd, but for the susceptible this is a decadent treat that only gets more decadent and delicious with each passing episode. Go on, take a taste.

With four more episodes under its belt and no improvement in sight, Viz's dub officially ranks among the year's more terrible adaptations. With graceless script and atonal delivery the dub lays bare the series' ridiculousness while providing none of its compensatory joys. It's nearly impossible to care for the dub's flat renditions of Yuki and Zero, and even harder to appreciate Kaname's incremental humanization. Travis Willingham's sepulchral Yagari would be a treat if only he weren't hobbled by too-faithful rewrites, and the comic interjections sometimes show signs of life, but there's little else to be glad for. To be fair, there weren't too many ways to handle Vampire Knight's ripe dialogue without the mad skills of a top-notch Japanese cast, and the two most obvious—substantially rewrite it or treat it as pure camp—would have betrayed the credo of fidelity that dubs live by; but even so Viz could have done better than this.

A survey of subplots is rather misleading, however. The main thrust of the plot is still the battle between Yuki's feelings for Kaname and perceived duty to Zero, and the series' dark gothic heart is still the tortured inner lives of its protagonists. That the flashbacks deal with Yuki's missing memories, Kaien Cross's ambitions, Zero's history as a hunter of the undead, and Kaname's home life is incidental really. Yuki's flashbacks, to the cute yet fraught dynamic of her childhood attachment to Kaname, serve to demonstrate the weight of her sacrifice in choosing to be Zero's "ally." And Zero's, by tracing his self-destructive impulses back to childhood, serve to demonstrate just what is at stake if she doesn't. As for Yuki's decision, in the Vampire Knight tradition it resolves nothing, only opening the door to fresh poison and pain. Yuki crucifies herself on a cross fashioned of guilt and fraternal protectiveness, unaware that forcing Zero to live for her sake—how could he perish, when she has sacrificed so much so that he might live?—is as quietly cruel as any of the more spectacular torments Zero has inflicted on himself. Kaname's side of the triangle, in the meantime, is sinking into a mire of half-obscured manipulations and schemes—underwritten by a fury of simmering hatred. Deelicious.

Naturally, Yuki and company's wicked tangle of affections is quite frequently and quite frightfully overblown. "A false heart," intones Yuki with papal gravity as her happy post-amnesia childhood plays out. "Kindness filled to the brim. And sin atop...sin." Hilarious, right? Here's another: "The bloodstained trigger slowly, slowly...starts pulling." This via a series of intertitles dropped like tombstones between cuts of child-Zero clawing at his vampire-punctured neck. But, hey, that's what puts the guilt in guilty pleasure.

The variety of subplots this volume seems to indicate that Vampire Knight is expanding beyond the perverse love triangle at its heart. All of those story threads that the first volume neglected come in for renewed scrutiny as the series enters its second volume. Flashbacks readdress Yuki's amnesia, if briefly, while touching on the foundation of Cross Academy and Zero's place in the Hunter Association. The latter crops up when Zero's mentor Yagari makes his appearance, forcing him to come to grips with his new identity and eventually to prove himself to the Association by way of killing his own kind. A visit from a vampire high muckety-muck—specifically Night Class vice-president Ichijo's grandfather—does a similar service for Kaname; in his case locating him in the hierarchy of vampire politicos. Though less a presence in flashbacks than Yuki or Zero is, some hints about Kaname's personal and political woes are dropped there as well.

As she remembers how Kaname drew her out of her traumatized shell, how he held her dear and she in her young way reciprocated, Yuki knows she loves the vampire prince. But as she witnesses Zero's burgeoning vampire hunger and the devastating effect it has on him, as she realizes the suicidal depth of his despair and self loathing, she also knows that her adopted brother needs her. So she makes her decision, the only one a girl of her soft-hearted disposition can—even if it means she must inflict a subtler and perhaps crueler torture on Zero...and Kaname.
