Vampire Knight Guilty is the sequel to Vampire Knight and as such you need to watch both to understand the story. Now, it is a great story, but there is so much angst, introspection, and hand wringing, it feels like a classic Swedish film at times.
The story centers on Cross Yuki, a student at Cross Academy, a boarding school run by her adopted father. The school is unusual because it has special night classes for a group of vampire students. The school is an experiment to see if vampires and humans can coexist. Yuki is a guardian and is supposed to keep the day class and night class from interacting but this isn't so easy. The vampires have that supernatural charm which the day students find irresistible. ^_^
Yuki has no memory before ten years ago when she attacked by a vampire. She was saved by another vampire, Kaname Kuran, who brought her to Cross Academy. Yuki is troubled by the memory loss and always feels that there some dark secret in her past. She is right. But the truth was such a complete surprise to me that it made the whole series worthwhile.
Interwoven with Yuki's story is a complex back story about the vampire hierarchy and an organization of vampire hunters. All of this comes crashing together in a mostly satisfying ending. I say "mostly" because there is at least one major loose end, which suggests a possible third season.
