Am-ee-nay!
So I just finished watching all 24 episodes of Karin (also known as Chibi Vampire here in America...for some reason) and I must say, it's one of my favorites to be sure.

It started when I found the first manga out over here...much to my surprise I also found that the anime was done and finished over in Japan, so I just had to go and watch it all for myself. (Apparently it ran from late 2005 to mid-2006, so I'm not TOO behind)

But yeah, vampire girl who shoots blood instead of sucks it. So we get lots of girl getting nosebleed to hilarious effect.
My, Where have I seen that before? Yeah, that's right. Great minds think alike, I suppose...or something.

Karin is also the cutest girl I have ever seen in anime. The art is wonderful and perfectly mimics the style of the manga, which is a major plus. The story MIGHT stray from the manga...I have no idea as I need to wait for the manga to finish coming out over here...but from what I have read so far, the main thing they do is
1. Give Karin more nosebleeds. Sometimes = funny, all the time = less so.
2. Have Karin get molested more. Some anime writers must think this is the best freakin' joke in the world...it's not. It makes you feel sorry for the character, more than laugh.
3. Show Karin nude more often. Seriously, the opening (which debuted on the second show) Has about two shots of Karin with clothes on versus 10 of her naked. Poor girl.

The show is mostly humor, with plenty of random emotional bits to make you actually care about the characters. Beautiful to watch and you can't help but love Karin and her horrible problems. ^_^
