Movie Reviews of Karin, Vol. 1: Infusion
Movie Review: Cute vampire anime!
Summary: 5 Stars
I technically don't own this DVD, but I have already watched the entire series, via YOUTUBE. ^^;
But anyway...
This anime is about a young girl named Karin, who seems like a normal girl. However, she is a vampire, and has to obviously keep it secret. However, even as a vampire she isn't normal; for some reason, she has spontaneous nose bleeds that make a huge mess, which isn't normal for a vampire. She also sleeps at night and functions during the day, which is another unique trait for a vampire [she can also stand sunlight].
Her life is fine until a new boy named Usui Kenta appears into her life. He accidentally witnesses one of her horrific nose bleeds, then catches her in the act of sucking blood. It is then, he finds out she is a vampire. Good thing this brings them closer together.
This anime is VERY cute, and is one of my all time favorites. :D Go buy it if you have the chance! If you can't, just watch it on YOUTUBE. You won't be disappointed.
Summary of Karin, Vol. 1: Infusion
Studio: Geneon Entertainment Release Date: 05/29/2007The agreeably offbeat romantic comedy Karin (2005) turns anime conventions and familiar legends upside down. High school freshman Karin Maaka is the white sheep of her family. Her parents, brother, and sister are traditional vampires: they drink blood, shun sunlight, etc. Karin likes silver, eats garlic, and enjoys the sun. When she bites someone, she gives them blood, which makes them optimistic and energetic. Although she doesn't understand why, Karin reacts strangely to gawky transfer student Kenta Usui: she produces so much extra blood, she gets spectacular nosebleeds. Ren, her older brother, explains that she's drawn to unhappy people; just as he's drawn to attack stressed people and their father to proud people. That's the way vampires are. Karin decides that if she makes Kenta happy, she won't have these problematic attacks, and romantic contretemps begin. The set-up is as engagingly absurd as Ranma 1/2 or Fruits Basket, and the filmmakers play it for all its worth. (Rated 13 and older: minor violence, risqué humor) --Charles Solomon
