Did the anime have any major deviations from the manga?


I gave up reading the Manga because its so boring. To anyone who has read the manga and watched the anime, are there any major changes they made? If none, minor ones probably?


Be running up that road. Be running up that hill.

Leaving out the kiss between Zero and Yuki (shown in Chapter 46 of Volume 10) was absolutely criminal! And how Yuki collapsed with grief after they walked away from one another (after Zero vowed that the next time they met, he would kill her). So sad!
*And* it was so, *so* crucial in the development of Zero/Yuki's relationship (obviously I'm Team Zero....Kaname's a creep - treats Yuki more like a fragile prized possession (think porcelain doll) that his equal and is *waaaaay* too controlling and authoritarian in their *relationship*).
Also, they changed how the President of the Vampire Hunter Association was taken out [spoiler](He was killed by Headmaster Kaien Cross (yay!), but in the Anime he was killed by Aido's Father (as I recall))
I've only read the Manga's from Volume 10 up through to 12, and bits and pieces from the earlier volumes, so that's all I can remember being left out/altered in the Anime.

Thanks for your reply, going to do the same thing, read the Manga from volume 10 probably. ;)

If you're team Zero, what do you take from his promise to come after Yuki some day? Killing good vampires is not something that even the vampire hunter's association does anymore.. Didn't like that ending for him :(

I was 'Team IDon'tKnow' as I could see why she would like/love both men. I think I was as conflicted as Yuki. Lol. Anyway, I thought it actually made Zero evil in a way that being a vampire hadn't. To hate something so deeply that you would kill the best friend you ever had, someone who had willingly sacrificed so much to save you; that you would feel compelled to even say something so ugly to them, just showed how much his hatred, and not his vampirism, had changed him and made him much darker, cruel and vicious than the vampires he despised. The fact he didn't even see that irony was the most sad for me.

My daughter sees it a little differently; she believes he truly loved her and didn't want to see her become a Level E; that he honestly believed that being purebloods or aristocrats didn't make a difference - bit by a vampire means eventual Level E. My daughter is also 17 and a hopeless romantic; I don't think she wanted to think of Zero becoming evil in the end. ξ‚„ He was her favourite.
