Haven't seen them yet...I admit Vampire Knight is a guilty pleasure and I've seen both episodes. It is a soap opera, so if you like soap operas, it's a great one, but if not, it makes sense that it doesn't seem appealing... Like what I hear about Soul Eater and Special A :).

It's just a story that is done pretty well. Special A is just the same in terms of humor, but I do not think you are watching Special A for a revolutionary plot. It's more of the dynamics between the characters and the random humor. Soul Eater is yes, delicious. If anything, I do not think that vampire knight is not really breaking ground in the shoujo genre.

Gives me strange Ouran vibes somehow. Hopefully the end game will be rewarding enough to get to. I’m pleasantly surprised by Special A. Gives me strange Ouran vibes somehow.

I will admit there are many bishounens in there but nothing more than that , the storyline is what I have seen thousand times over and very boring. Special A is also the same old elite-group shoujo manga which doesn't have anything new. So I think of all 3 , I would watch only Soul Eater.

Unfortunately, Vampire Knight is not one of them. Hot guys and angst. And vampires. Seriously, I think I got more enjoyment out of Twilight than I did with Vampire Knight.

Supertalented students? A greenhouse where to peacefully drink some tea? Where did i hear this before? :P After all this series seems to be a mix netween karekano and shugo chara. It doesen't look promising... Lol i thought i had a deja vù reading about about Special A’s. Supertalented students? A greenhouse where to peacefully drink some tea? Where did i hear this before? :P

After reading the first 6 volumes, I hope the anime has the same sense of humour and style the manga did. There are 11 volumes so far so it might be enough to reach 51 episodes if they stretch it little. Soul Eater is most certainly one of the spring animes I have been looking forward to the most.

Each rational person I know who read the manga will tell you that it's nothing but another typical shojo with lots and LOTS of angst and emo characters.
