Vampire Knight Season 3 Episode 1
Violet Schoneman
The episodes of the Vampire Knight anime adaptation is based on the manga series of the same name written by Matsuri Hino. They are directed by Kiyoko Sayama, and produced by Studio Deen and Nihon Ad Systems. The plot of the episodes follows Yuki Cross, a student at the Cross Academy, where she acts as a guardian of the "Day Class" along with vampire hunter Zero Kiryu from the secret vampires of the "Night Class" led by Kaname Kuran.
The first season premiered on TV Tokyo in Japan on April 7, 2008, and ran for thirteen episodes until the season's conclusion on June 30, 2008. The episodes were aired at later dates on TV Aichi, TV Hokkaido, TV Osaka, TV Setōchi, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting Co. The second season, named Vampire Knight Guilty, premiered on the same station on October 6, 2008 and ran until its conclusion on December 29, 2008.[1][2] As of December 2008, five DVD compilations of the first season have been released by Aniplex and Sony Pictures between July 23, 2008 and November 26, 2008.[3] The first DVD compilation for the second season was released by Aniplex on January 28, 2009,[4] and the second compilation was released on February 25, 2009.[5]
Four pieces of theme music are used for the episodes: two opening themes and two closing themes.

NowForSomeSpoilerSpaceSo Kaname's plan worked well - Zero turned into a super vampire killer and
was able to destroy Lido with ease.BTW - maybe it was his name, but I difficulty accepting Lido as a serious
danger for anyone. To me, "Lido" sounds like it should be the name of a male
hairdresser from Newport Beach.With his revenge complete, Kaname prepared to leave the school forever.
Vampire Princess Yuuki met with Zero one last time. Zero refused to accept
Yuuki as a vampire unless she drank his blood, so in a very effective scene
Yuuki bit Zero's neck and drank his blood, but without any enthusiasm and
with tears running down her face. Zero reminded Yuuki of her promise to kill
him when he became a vampire, and then told her that he would some day have
to kill her now that she was a vampire. Yuuki promised that they would
someday meet again, and that Zero should wait for her.Then Yuuki packed her suitcase and surprised Kaname who was getting ready to
leave by himself. Kaname told Yuuki not to come because she had an important
person to protect at the school, but Yuuki replied that she had a different
important person - Kaname - to protect and that she would go with him
wherever he went. So they left together, along with a few of the other
vampire students who were the most loyal to Kaname, regardless of how Kaname
had used them in the past.And in one of the most subtly powerful scenes in an episode full of powerful
scenes, Cross caught up with Yuuki and Kaname. After acting silly again for
a moment, Cross resumed his serious Vampire Hunter King persona and formally
entrusted Yuuki's well-being to Kaname, who accepted the responsibility with
equal seriousness. So everyone walked out into the sunrise to begin their
futures.Dave Baranyi
If you wonder why there are two kinds of volume above, in Japan, usually "volume" as we know it called tankoubon, and bunkouban is a tankoubon with more pages, thus why bunkouban has less volume. Further reading in Wikipedia about those formats.
Should be, because the anime only caught up to vol. 10 and when all season of Vampire Knight anime ended, the manga was still ongoing. You can see it based on the year the anime and manga ended at Wikipedia's page of Vampire Knight.
Further, I didn't watch the anime and only read its manga till the end, but seeing Wikipedia's page of List of Vampire Knight episodes, seeing the story of the last episode of Vampire Knight: Guilty, I can tell you that's not how the manga ended.
Whether it's worth or not, it's up to each reader. But if you want to know the "official" ending (I said "official", because the manga is the original source), then it's recommended to read the manga, because the manga did finish it off.
To be exact, the anime deviated from the manga slightly near to the end as instead of Zero and Yuki being on a roof, Zero is standing on a platform made entirely of the thorn vines from Bloody Rose. Also, Kaname killed all the Vampire Senate, not just Ichijo and the guards at the very end. After that, there is a time skip until Cross Academy is rebuilt and running again and Kaname is now living with Yuki.
Pretty much from the small discrepancies at the end of the anime, you can start reading from Chapter 49 (Volume 11 - 49th Night) and not really miss out, though I would just start reading from chapter 1 again to read the Bonus/Extra stories that most volumes came with (I don't know how much they add, but I seem to recall a small story of Kaien caring for little Yuki)
Since the series continues on after Yuki leaves Cross Academy with Kaname, there is more information as we learn more about Purebloods and what happened between Kaname's Parents and Rido, particularly why in the anime Juri says that Rido "already killed one of her children" when Kaname never mentions another sibling apart from Yuki.
We also learn more about the Vampire Hunters and why their weapons are so effective against Vampires, and finally learn that Kaname's real end goal is for his past actions (killing Shizuka Hio, wiping out the senate, making Zero what he is)
Of course, whether or not you accept that it's the end is another matter. Since there have been no new releases afterward, there doesn't seem to be any plans to continue after Chapter 93. There's probably fan fiction and doujinshi floating around, but these wouldn't be considered as canon (e.g. Yuki making Sayori a vampire and becoming a couple forever)

We find out that Rido had resurrected Kaname, who was the original pureblood vampire ancestor. Kaname is unable to kill Rido personally because Rido was the one who awakened him. Why then did he awaken Rido? Couldn't he have gotten Yuki to deliver the killing blow instead?
How are things going to resolve from here on? Do I even care? The love triangle kinda ended when Yuki became a vampire and chose Kurame. And I admit. I'm not that invested in the side plots. Can I just have an entire episode of Aido scuttling after Yuki and trying his hardest not to snap at her antics?
I've seen both seasons of this anime, Vampire Knight and Vampire Knight: Guilty and loved it.
I was a big fan of the manga before this was made an anime and was really happy with the transition. I like some manga/anime not all - most of it is too cute and disposable for my tastes, but like Hellsing and Trinity Blood the vampire mangas seem to be quite good.
My favourite character was Kaname and I suggest you watch season 2 cause it really heats up and gets serious and loses that fangirl fluff edge from the first season. Zero is quite good too and even though the story was changed around in order to suit the anime I think it was a success. The manga is still ongoing but they've stopped the anime after 26 episodes.
Gabriel, I fully intend to get 'Guilty' at some point - funds allowing.
If you want to veer away from the cutsey anime (and I agree that both Hellsing and Trinity are excellent) then I would suggest - if you haven't seen it - Lament of the Lamb as an excellent drama.
Hi mamalove. Season 2 is called Vampire Knight Guilty. I review it here. It has been out in Japan and is available on ebay (Malaysian source but with English subs) as we speak.
I am not aware of a plan for a third season.
Matsuri Hino's Vampire Knight was brought forth into the world of anime on April 8, 2008 and proved to be a huge hit among all anime fans, vampire lover fans and other fans alike. On October 7, 2008 the popularity of Vampire Knight continued and increased as a Second Season, known as Vampire Knight Guilty, aired which proceeded on with the story based on the original manga. After a small number of only 26 episodes this wonderful series has come to an abrupt end, concluding the Vampire Knight anime completely.
