 Decent, but Japanese is better. July 24, 2010

This is a review of the English Dubbed version of Vampire Knight so far. As someone who has seen the entire Vampire Knight series in Japanese, I was very excited to hear that it was being dubbed in English. I have now watched the first four episodes of the English dub. Many people were worried about the choice of Vic Mignogna for the role of Zero, but in my personal opinion, Vic's performance is the strongest of the the three leads. While his voice may not be 100% perfect for Zero, his great acting skills make up for it, and he does pitch his voice to a lower register (a tone reminiscent of his performance as Ikkaku in "Bleach). Yuki's English voice is a pretty decent fit, but the acting fluctuates in skill - sometimes it is good and sometimes it is lacking. Kaname's English actor was, in my opinion, the weakest choice. His voice does not really match the character and the acting is very flat. I can only hope that he will improve as the series progresses. The supporting cast is actually pretty good. Headmaster Cross, Aido, Seiren, Kain, Yori, Ruka, and many of the other smaller characters are well-acted and enjoyable.
Overall, the series is decent. It is nice not to have to read subtitles and the English dub helped me understand certain plot points that confused me in Japanese. The leads could be stronger, but the supporting cast is quite good.

I'm really excited for the dubbed to be finally coming out. I enjoy the sub version so much but it will be nice to be able to listen to it in a language I understand more. Like many people I am a little worried about the dubbed voice actors. Not so much Vic, who will play zero, because the character he voiced in the Air series was also a pretty "depressed" character. But I'm wondering how Yuki's voice is going to sound. The voice actresses for her in the sub I feel is just so perfect. But all in all I'm excited for the dub because this is one of my favorite animes, just because I enjoy the characters and their relationships. =D
Maybe it's the English, but the sound killed the anime August 23, 2010

I don't know if it's just because of the English voices (maybe Japanese is better) but in my opinion, the voices and the music/sounds weren't so good in my opinion. They sounded kinda funny and in my opinion, totally did not sound like what the mood of the books made the think they should sound like. I think I'll stick to the Manga.
A great series! July 31, 2010

Vampire Knight is a great series and this first volume doesn't disappoint. I honestly had no major issues with the English voices and was very happy that it was even offered in English. The best English (voices) match-ups were Zero, Cross, Aido and Seiren, while the weakest were Yuki (sounded very young) and Kaname but overall the English version was very good and the voice actors should only get better as they get more comfortable in their respective roles. There is always the option to watch the series in Japanese for those not happy with the English version/voices.
