Vampire Knight on TV!

by kiddtic » Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:17 pm

Yup Madman are bringing Vampire Knight to Aussie TV on ABC3 tonight at 8 PM. I haven't seen the series but I know its incredibly popular especially with girls. Here is to hoping it has great ratings and increases the popularity of anime.

ABC3 seems an odd choice of channel. It was 2 that used to play all them japtoons.

Oh, I see. This is just like a game of hot potato.
Although I don’t know about the directions at 4:51.
It’s commonly known when you look north in Japan East is to your left. Please don’t try to correct that sentence. It lasts only for a second but I wouldn’t expect a mistake like that.

I didn't like Vampire Knight all that much. But putting it on ABC3 seems like an odd thing to do, considering some of the content matter.

Then again, ABC2 don't know what soundtrack to put with whatever show is playing....

As I was mildly suggesting, it's to pull in any Twilight-loving tweens. Yeah, ABC and Madman trying to cash-in on vampire shlickfics by playing japanese cartoons.

I love this world we live in.

Yes, well, the stupid inherent in both of these shows is enough to make my head hurt and want to RAAAAAAGGGGE. If I had the youthful energy left in me.

You know, I would've happily, in my senility, not known who Rebecca Black was until you mentioned her....
