I came across this anime on youtube by mistake, I've seen up to ep 15 (ep 16 released in japan on the 8th). I really enjoy it, who else watches/reads it? I heard the manga in the US was renamed "Chibi Vampire". :blink:
Karin

Been watching it when it first started and well its pretty good. Its not the best love anime but it's still a good show to watch. Although the excessive amount of ecchiness in the intro was uncalled for…made me think this was some hentai show or something.
The manga's called "Chibi Vampire"? That sounds too kiddiest, why couldn't they just stick with Karin as the title.
-
This is the thing you shown me the other day right? Yea it was pretty cool.
-
Yea, its what I showed you.
TokyoPop is who releases the manga in the US and they already had a manga with a semilar title to "Karin" but it was completely different. So to prevent confussion they renamed the manga form Karin to "Chibi Vampire" which makes no sense cause well…shes not a Chibi. They should have called it Karin the Unvampire or something, alot better then "Chibi Vampire".
-
I haven't seen it yet, but I downloaded the OP. And I must say, it's an awesome song, and really fits a "shoujo vampire" series.
-
Yea, I'm absolutely in love with the opening "Scarlet" its one of the best openings I've heard in my opinion.
-
Yes the intro is indeed an awesome song. Been listening to it ever since I was able to get it.
Now involving the latest episodes….
! Man what is up with Maka's grandmother….and what I mean is appearance. Swear she looks younger than Maka!
! Her past story was quite touching. Now I feel quite bad for her. -
Yea,
! I had a feeling he'd turn on her once she sucked his blood but jeez…a steak in the chest?
-
! Yah it sucks that her taste just so happens to be love. And now after that incident she's practically on a rampage to ruin Maka's love life. Considering the next episode she probably doesn't bite Usui or maybe she does and nothing happens.
-
! Of course she doesn't bite him, that wont happen XD. But yea, but really…I can understand why...she doesnt want Karin to go through that VampirexHuman pain. But we all know shes gonna fail. XD
-
Don't mind the dp.
Well I'm pissed, with youtubes new "10-min rule" theres probably a good chance we wont see Karin 17+ on youtube. Unless that is, the people who upload it are gonna go through the trouble of splitting it into three files and uploading each of them.
-
Been watching this since Fred hyped it a bit over at megatokyo, seems pretty good.
-
I just googled this "megatokyo" and it looks like a online comic site.
-
Yeah, its a manga/anime-influenced webcomic that I've followed for years. He does a blog down below, and every once in a while he talks about what hes watching, which a few weeks ago included Karin (and Rec and a few others I don't remember atm).
-
Yeah this show is pretty cute, I am up to episode 10.
-
I made it to 17. (apparently it was just released) they just split it into part A and B. Not that bad. I actually like it better because they load faster. ^_^;
It took me a while to attatch to the eyes, but I grew really attached to it quickly. I love it ^____^ The uh… intro threw me off for a minute, but thankfully the intro really doesn't have much to do with the anime...
-
Fanservice is good. nod
The only problem I had about this anime when I started watching it was that checkers like effect when it changes scenes, but I got completely use to it by at most episode 3.
Guess we were lucky, guess people are gonna keep splitting Karin and putting it on youtube.
-
Well, next weeks episodie will be the last…I'm sad. ;_;
! I wasn't expecting Elda to have gotten killed..
-
! Yah that was unexpected. But now I get the feeling she's going to come back to life for some apparent reason, and stop Winner's grandfather from killing Karin and the others.
! And wow Winner has a horse. Why didn't he use it before to woo Karin or something -
Cause usually girls find horses to be more attractive than the actual guy?
! I too see her coming back, and they could probably pull a "shes a vampire" move on us. But damn, a knife and a sword in the gut has to hurt one way or the other. Maybe an anime will actually try and be different and leave her dead?
! I mean she did find out the truth about Al (how'd that happen again?) so maybe they'll just leave her at peace to be with him. -
Well…thats it...Karin is over... Is sad
! But that was a hell of a ending, wasn't expecting one like that. Everyone died, then no one died. And looks like they did pull the "Vampires are stronger than humans" thing to keep them alive. XD
! Was alittle disappointed that Usui and Karin didn't kiss but hell, what are ya to do. -
The ending was corny as ever, with lots of fanservice
! Damn I knew they weren't going to die.
! And what a perverted old man. Like Usui just stood there like nothing happened and the old man just nosebleeds to death.
! And wow I can't believe they all had to suck his blood -
Well…what do you think, think the story could have worked and went another 24 episodes?
-
! No but I prefer if they all died instead, so it'll be like a Romeo and Juliet ending.
! Eh, I've watched too many depressing anime, lately -
! I was happy it was a happy ending, I agree it could have been better but this was one anime I didn't want to have an unhappy ending.
-
Sorry to bump AND double post. (ouch)
It's licensed, I didn't want this to happen. I dunno why I just didn't…well, I plan to buy it anyways but I think I'll keep it on japanese with subtitles despite how good the dub may be.
It is said to come out sometime in the next few months, around the time my above post was posted...just..2007.

Consensus opinion: does the story dip very early on and recover, or does it just head straight down the tubes?
I got volume one of 'Chibi Vampire' today (discarding my second choice of Shaman King No. 3 for a One Piece poster), and I got immediately terrified when it reached the "since the Ichigo-lookalike's sadness is what makes me blood-horny, all I have to do is make him happy, and I can live a normal life" phase. It immediately went to making the needle bend on the fanservice meter.
Don't tell me that there aren't a lot of guys who dream of cute vampire girl who has to make you happy for reasons they never will be allowed to know.
I guess I was hoping for more Hellsing (except with fewer Nazis) and less Ouran High Host Club
-
LMFAO! Yeah, going for this series thinking "Hellsing" was a very bad idea. It's a romantic comedy. I can't really explain the story, mainly it's that but other shit happens too.
