NEWS: Rosario + Vampire TV Anime Commercial Posted Online
The official website of the Rosario + Vampire romantic comedy anime has posted the commercial that promotes its television premiere in Japan next week (http://www.rosa-vam.com/special.html). The anime is based on Akihisa Ikeda's original manga about a boy who fails to get into any high school except the Youkai Academy. The boy then discovers that the academy is for magical beings only, so he must hide his human identity to stay alive — and to stay close to a cute vampire at the academy with whom he has grown smitten. The website also has the earlier promotional movie that was first posted in October. (In the linked page, select the bottom-rightmost button.) The manga ran in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Jump magazine and was one of the few titles to migrate to the more widely read Weekly Shonen Jump after the former magazine ceased publication.
I did not have a good impression of Rosario + Vampire in the winter preview. When I watched the episode, I actually found myself laughing quite hard. However, it took me a while to source out the cause of the laughter. The story resolves around Tsukune Aono, a below average high school student who is unable to get into any other school due to his poor grades. When he is finally accepted to a private school with rather dubious means, that is when his troubles start to unfold. Yes, many harem-like problems will be exhibited
I am still trying to figure it out why I laughed quite hard but it is to no avail. Nevertheless, Impz brings you into the world of the supernatural monsters that we never believe existed, and the life of a human trying to hide his existence.
Episode summary
Tsukune Aono was unable to get into any private school due to his poor grades. By a stroke of luck, his father picked up an acceptance letter dropped by some stranger on his way back home. Tsukune Aono entered the school, only to realize that the road to the school looked like a completely dead cemetery. It was there Aono collided with Moka Akashiya, a vampire who was riding a bicycle to get to school. After being memerized by the beautiful girl, Aono was told by Moka that she is a vampire and she bit him on the neck after being unable to resist the temptation.
He was not sure whether she meant it as a joke. He then found out from the cat-like teacher (Shizuka Nekonome) that it is in fact a school for supernatural monsters, and humans would be killed on the spot. The teacher also told everyone to live like humans and not show their supernatural side to anyone. He completely freaked out, but Moka came into the class and hugged him affectionately. As Moka was extremely beautiful, he earned the wrath of many students. One particular student did not like how the beautiful Moka stuck onto him like a human magnet. Aono was unceremoniously slammed onto a vending machine, making him realize that it is a supernatural school. Moka also told him that she was sealed by the rosario worn on her neck, and would turn to an evil cold and powerful vampire.
When he realized he was in the completely wrong place, he tried to escape the school. Moka tried to persuade him, telling him that she used to study in a normal high school but was ostracized because everyone said she was lying about herself being a vampire. Eventually, he admitted that he was a human, the race that she hated the most as he ran off. As Moka gave chase, she was attacked by the student. Aono turned back and tried to protect her but was hurt badly. As he lay down injured, he accidentally pulled the rosario down as Moka changed completely to cause the other monster to submit immediately. He then decided to stay in the school, keeping his secret with him.
