Personally, I preferred the manga over the anime, the anime barely stayed with the plot of the manga and near the end, it was taken entirely off track.I recommend the manga over this. I will guarantee more satisfaction and worth your buck if you were to purchase it if you're into the Romancy, Action, and Bloody content of Chibi Vampire/Karin.

This is just a really cute anime. When I first began watching it, I wondered what kind of ridiculous crap I had gotten myself into, but really, it's hysterically funny. There is no dramatic plot or villian, just an interesting situation and a lot of awkward moments. The animation isn't wonderful, and Karin (aka Chibi Vampire) is not a thrill ride, but it is definitely worth watching.

Anime in 200 Words: Karin Premise: A teenage girl doesn’t fit in with her vampire family or the people at her school, falls in love, and grows up. Vampire Mythos: In this case, vampires are drawn to particular emotions, and un-vampires exist as well. Un-vampires create blood instead of drinking it. Audience: Teen girls? They could relate to the high school drama and the implicit sexual struggles. Younger viewers may not realize what’s being implied, but concerned people should watch an episode and judge for themselves. Complaint: Karin’s reaction to her nose bleeds got really annoying to me after a while. Usui, who had just met her, dealt with them better than she did, even though she’s had this problem for years. Romance: Karin has a love square- two guys love one girl, and her best friend loves one of the guys. It’s complicated, and leads to some painful moments, particularly for Maki. Overall: There are both better and worse shows to watch. Karin is definitely not the best vampire anime I’ve ever seen, but I prefer Dracula over Twilight, so keep that in mind. As a high school shoujo story, Karin is actually passable, hence the show’s moderate score.
