It has been one year since Tsukune Aono enrolled at Youkai Academy, and since then his life has taken an interesting turn. In addition to being the only human at a school for monsters, he has attracted a bevy of beautiful women who want him all for themselves: the sexy succubus Kurumu Kurono; Yukari Sendou, a witch; stalker and yuki-onna Mizore Shirayuki; and Moka Akashiya, a kind vampire who, when her rosary is removed, reveals a darker personality.
But soon, trouble visits Youkai Academy in the form of Moka's younger sister, Kokoa Shuzen. She is furious that her "true older sister" is sealed within Moka's rosary, and vows to bring out Moka's darker self. However, Kokoa's thoughtless actions may affect more than just her sister...

"A series with splendid animation and soundtrack but poor storyline." Many many things have happened in the first season which was loosely based on the manga original, so logically we are expecting the storyline of Capu2 to continue from where season one left off. In fact, many many things do happen in Rosario + Vampire Capu2. They include the very exciting and daring (in the sense that they are pissing off the fans) censored fan service, more censored fan service, and still more annoying censored fan service. In terms of actual Rosario + Vampire story coverage, Capu2 literally got close to none with a few minorexceptions.
Story:
Similar to the previous season, Capu2 is also considered episodic (each episode is one mini standalone story). The "monster of the week" which received numerous criticism also returned though this time most of the "monsters" do not have much of an evil intention thus making most battles seem even more ridiculous (pointless) than before.
Unlike the first season which still semi followed the story from the manga, Capu2 is almost purely fillers as evident in episode 6. To wrap it up, Gonzo pretty much taken out all the actions in the story and replaced them with censored fan service (how can it be called fan service if they are censored with a bear?). Obviously fillers unrelated to the actual story tend to make fans unhappy, but from another perspective it can be rather refreshing at times because even manga readers wouldn't know what might come next!
Animation:
Upon watching this anime, perhaps the first thing you'll notice is the supreme animation quality. Whether you are new to this series, or a fan from the manga original, the artwork in the anime is without a doubt impressive. It should be added that the animation quality throughout the series is very consistent, which certainly means a lot for a show intended for fan servicing.
Sound:
When compared to the first season, the OP and ED are certainly at the same level in terms of quality, thanks to our beloved Nana. It is plain evident that the OP and ED clips no longer relates to the story (unlike season 1's OP and ED which give hints to certain aspects of the plot), which is actually a good thing for this season since the production crew never had any intention of following the story anyhow. So a good OP and ED that matches their theme (ie. fanservice) would do the trick.
Give Nana Mizuki tons and tons of credit for her amazing job well done for performing the OP and ED as well as being the CV for Moka. As stated in my Rosario + Vampire review, Nana has an amazing ability to sing thus allowing her to win the “Best Musical Performance” award in the first Seiyu Awards.
Character:
I was quite surprised when writing this review that there were hardly any character development in this season. Not only are the characters' hidden abilities STILL have yet to be included in the anime, but nothing really changed from the first season's ending (as expected from a filler series). Season one definitely did a better job in this department.
Enjoyment + Final Thought:
The heavy censorship really made the show very not enjoyable for me. If you want to watch the series uncensored, you'll have to wait for the DVD release. Overall, Rosario + Vampire Capu2 served its purpose as a filler and "fanservice" series. Having strong animation quality and great sound track makes up for the lack of story and pretty poor character developments. I recommend this series for people who like good quality animation but if you want story development, you'll be best to skip this.
*Note* The review is based on the broadcast episodes (ie. TV), the DVDs have no impact on the review.

The Short Review for the Reader without much time: Story (3/10): What story?! Well, there was a storyline for the first and last two episodes of this anime, and then 9 episodes of filler. 9 EPISODES OF FILLER IN A 13 EPISODE ANIME. Is this anime so inconsistent that it can't even stick to the plot for over two consecutive episodes?! Hence the low score. Art (8/10): The art is the best thing about this anime, is is fluid, clean, detailed, and rich in color. Sound (6/10): The music matches the anime pretty well, ecchi all the way. It's the video with the music that is...interesting. Characters (6/10): Thecharacters all have flat personalities: they all love the guy, and they are all...lets just say "brave" in public.
Enjoyment (6/10): Eh. Some new developments that were quite interesting. Mostly mumbo jumbo.
Overall: (5/10)

I'd like to set record straight and give you an honest review. The series, as a whole, first and second season are based, rather LIGHTLY, on the Manga of the same name. Keep that in mind. Rosario+Vampire is a show that FEEDS off of fan service, harem stereotypes, and it's own unique sense of humor within it's story. Don't expect anything more than that. Take this anime as it is and you have a pretty decent show to watch and pass the time by. Story: 6 The story isn't like the manga. Not even anime adaptations are anything like the "book" it seems. Rosario+Vampire's story is chopped upinto pieces for the most part, and each episode is it's own slice of life for Tsukune and the gang. Repetition...often. Less than the first season though. Only in the last few episodes does a real epic story that runs smoothly begin to come together. Lots of fan service, lots of laughs because of how the harem is put together etc. don't expect much more and enjoy it for what it is.
Art: 8
Gonzo, as usual has done a fantastic job animating the show. It's very smooth, and nice to look at (no I'm not talking about the fan service). I've seen better, but Gonzo does a good job at keeping it consistently decent.
Sound: 8
Like I said, Harem, Ecchi, whatever you want to call it, the soundtrack to this show fits it very well. The ever now famous "Churu Churu Paya Paya," is a masterpiece score for some scenes in this anime, along with other songs that really pull the show together and make it's comedy valid. Add that up with amazing OP and ED songs for BOTH seasons by Nana Mizuki, and you have yourself a good anime soundtrack.
Character:6
You have Tsukune, the wimpy lead with a huge heart, you have your moe in Moka, you have your...Tsundere?...I suppose in Inner Moka. Kurumu is your typical flirt, Mizore is the all out stalker, Yukari is your loli, add in some adult themes and BAM generic anime harem right? WRONG. Though I rate it low for extreme lack of character development, the characters take on their own personas for the anime. BECAUSE it's set in a unique monster environment, each character has certain special traits about them. Given they are emphasized more on in the manga, but the anime at least gives you the basics. I can't say I've seen many other ecchis with a Vampire, Succubus, Snow-Woman, and Witchling all after one guy. Tsukune however stands out among the bunch, though he seems like a below average student with good intentions, there's more to him. He genuinely cares for the others, all as friends, and wants to be able to protect them. This is shown frequently in the series that though he is powerless, he's willing to fight, no matter what the cost. Which does lead to some interesting situations.
Enjoyment: 9
I laughed...I laughed. It IS enjoyable for what it is. A harem anime with your typical stereotypes played on well, with your BIG twist of them being monsters, and Tsukune being human. Decent bit of action to sate that hunger, and watching Tsukune progress ever so slightly as a character was cool. Don't come expecting anything more than laughs, fan service, and a few decent romantic/admirable scenes.
Overall: 7
Good anime. Not the best, not terrible. They advertised as an ecchi, they sold an ecchi to the public. You view it as anything else and you'll hate it....but then that'd be your own fault. If you need to pass some time by, and you like the genre, give it a look. One of the best harem animes in a while, here's hoping for a 3rd season with more story and character development than we've seen!

Well, so it’s come down to this… “Rosario + Vampire” is an anime show directed by Takayuki Inagaki about, uh, well, gratuitous panty shots and full-blown harem mayhem. The story is straight-forward enough to actually make sense too: Tsukune Aono is your typical high school protagonist who plays the nice guy role way too well. One day, while heading to his mysterious new high school in the middle of what appears to be a dead forest/graveyard, he is run over on a bicycle by Moka Akashiya, a classmate of his. Immediately, these two seem to hit it off, until Tsukune discovers that Moka is actuallya vampire and the high school he’s attending consists of nightmarish monsters. Eventually, Tsukune is forced to keep his human identity a secret for fear of his own life, while also attracting the attention of a group of girls all lining up to have sex with him, typical of your harem/ecchi show.
I just want to make this known: “Rosario + Vampire” is a terrible show. In fact, so terrible that I actually found myself really enjoying it at times. There seems to be a very basic formula to each episode too: Tsukune, being the dumbass he is, manages to get involved in some life-threatening conflict with a dangerous student or teacher, and Moka is forced to change into her “badass” vampire form to save the day while the narrator, being a bat with the most annoying voice in anime history, inexplicably totals up the running time each battle took… for reasons I have yet to know… It’s formulaic, yes, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have a ton of fun with it. There’s a cheesy undertone throughout that makes it oddly entertaining, and while the nudity is flaunted around this show like clothing is illegal, it adds a kind of quirky vibe to the characters themselves. I shouldn’t go too into detail with the other characters apart from our two protagonists because, well, they’re cardboard cut-outs from other harem anime and are too uninspired to really give a damn.
However, “Rosario + Vampire” has a secret power: it is so facepalm-worthy, that at a point, your brain adjusts to the crude, dry humor and eventually you find yourself laughing a lot. The comedy in this show is hilarious when it wants to be, especially an episode when Tsukune is followed home by the stalking group of girls over summer break, and is introduced to their mother, who witnesses them in *ahem* compromising situations that leads her to believe her son is a sex fiend. It’s actually one of the funniest episodes I’ve watched since that exam episode in “Angel Beats!”. I feel like I shouldn’t dismiss the strengths of the show either, because the last few episodes of the first season are legitimately great, as well as a bulk of episodes in the second season.
As much as I enjoyed most of it, there’s just also too much wrong with “Rosario + Vampire” to fully recommend it. While it does have it’s fair share of comedic genius and suspenseful moments, these are too rare in the show to really call it a saving grace. The chemistry between the “so inoffensive, it hurts” Tsukune and “Lucy from Elfen Lied 2.0” Moka is actually pretty good too, and provides an ongoing gag that never gets tired. But overall, it’s decent fun at best. If you just want to take a break from a serious anime, switch off your brain and let this soak in. Otherwise, watch “Love Hina” if you want great harem…

Many people didn't like the fact the story didn't follow the manga, and didn't have much of a point. There were quite a few episodes of random nothing-ness that had really nothing to do with the plot, but they still had their comedy/romance aspects that kept you watching. Story 6/10 The story wasn't really that developed in either of the seasons, I wish they would have gotten a bit more in depth with Tsukune and his new vampire powers. It was still a hilarious storyline, I didn't mind all that much Art 9/10 I really liked the art style in this anime. The characters looked nicely drawn and symmetrical.Sound 8/10
The sound effects were pretty nice, I didn't expect much from them since it was going to be a comedy/harem type deal. However, the english voice acting was spot-on. You can't go wrong with good ol' Haberkorn as a main :D The song in the second season was pretty beastly, I dug the bass line in the disco song very much.
Character 8/10
The characters were all pretty likable and had different traits. Specially the girls HUEHUE.
Enjoyment 9/10
I really liked watching this anime even though there were a bunch of random episodes. These types of anime don't exactly need a good story-line to be likable, but it would help.
Overall 9/10
This was a really good 2 season anime. Even though a lot of people dissed it because of the story-line not matching the manga and all that, I still liked the comedy/harem aspect of it.
Thanks for reading this review! first of many to come C:

When I heard this series was going to Capu2 I almost cried with happiness. The story follows a very cliche harem/ecchi plot, which is a guy surrounded by girls in a magical world, and each one of them dig him. From there, you can already understand what's going to happen. For the first season, it's tiny sub-stories with a dramatic ending. BUT the thing is that the humor in this story totally makes up for the lack of serious plot. And for you ecchi lovers..well there's only two things that we are pleased with and this show has it and you know what I mean. Overall I'monly giving a rating to the first season, which is an 8/10. As for the second season, I have high expectations and so far they have been fulfilled.
RasenRum
Okay ummm, this wont be any in depth review...But in my opinion this was an incredibly painful series. This along with the first season played out in the same event format every time...(and i mean always)...the first 8-9 eps consist of Aono getting into trouble, tearing the rosary off Moka's chest....then as a result Moka saves the entire group...Now i understand this is a comedy but I think the variety of storyline in each episode made it such a drainer to sit through. Okay now in the last 2-3 eps of both seasons, its like they finally decide they want to be serious and havea storyline.....and for once they decide 'Hey, maybe we will let Aono do one cool thing before we revert him back to his damsel in distress useless self'.
Now dont misunderstand, if they were going for this comedy without a plotline then its fine....But the fact they try to introduce something serious in the last moments of both seasons, makes me frustrated as too why I watched the first 9 useless episodes....Soooo yeah this is a pretty fresh review so I guess in contains some resentment over the forever repeating plotline of this show...But there u have it..."Rosario + Vampire" in a nutshell.
(Over Rating a 7, cause im giving it the benefit of the doubt, as possibly the fact that its a comedy excuses it from have a varied plotline in each episode -.- )

Story: Ok now let me tell you this the story isn't bad sometimes it does go a nice route but other is just random stuff. Well it's a harem, so can you really complain? Art: Amazing the art style is really great and the animation is extremely good. Those character designs tho... MIZORE FOR THE WIN!!! Sound: The sounds are happy and joyful, they don't get annoying if they are re-used. The voice acting is okay... But damn the English dubbed is amazing i don't like watching anime in eng dub but this anime FREAKING nails it!!Character:
Hmm most of them can get really annoying *cough* THE SUCCUBUS. Oh! Can't forget about the loli witch... Mizore is easily the most calmed and less annoying and Moka, i like her Original form with white or silver hair IN MY OPINION.
Enjoyment:
I just kept watching this anime in my bed in excitement i don't know why it's just so funny and cool. The boobs and stuff don't really bother me or interest me, i just like the comedy and the action or most likely the stupid stuff that happens
Overall:
Amazing anime... Would recommend IF you're looking for a fun anime.
Wouldn't recommend if you don't like the sexual scenes.

I watched rosario+vampire capu 2 expecting something even more badass than the original show, and found that it was basically the same. There was still a bunch of meaningless fanserve (which I am all for) and it was still a harem which almost guarantees that nothing of deep import will happen. Once again, the story follows tsukune; a complete pussy who seems to attract all the women, and moka the vampire whos into him. Also there the succubus, ice woman, witch, and this season brings us a brand new vampire. The new vampire is moka's sister kokua, and she is the first female character not tojoin tsukune's entourage... FINALLY!
Also brought back from the original show is the stand alone episodes with a few conjoining at the end, but as ive said before this is how the manga was too so I will forgive it. However, while i'm on the topic of of the story; many people will expect a continuation from where the last season left off in the manga. This is not the case, in fact very little has anything to do with the manga itself at this point and now it is just a continuation of the first season instead of the manga.Now they are even tossing in filler episodes, I dont see why when they have so much manga to work with but whatever, I can and have forgiven them for some of the episodes that were really good, but some of the episodes in capu 2 just suck terribly so be on the watch for that. Another thing is that tsukune still doesn't use his vampire powers to open a can of whoop-ass on anybody this season either, so that kinda disapointed me.
As before, the fights can be measured in a matter of seconds, and it would almost make more sense to cut em entirely but, what do I know. Also, in capu 2 you are about as likely to find the characters having a friggin sing-off than anything else, so hopefully you can get past the lameness of these situations or you will not survive this show.
Once again the art is great just like the 1st season, and the characters are still a dynamic bunch, even if they havnt changed at all since season one. There was also a pretty good soundtrack for this show. I enjoyed watching capu 2 as a fan of the original manga and the 1st season, but maybe it can be said that you will enjoy this more if youve never read the manga... maybe. Still in all, I liked it, it was good stuff.

One thing to say about this season - OP song. It was amazing! The music in this season alone was enough to bump this anime up a notch in my book from the previous season. But I also moved it up because of its ability to improve on developing the characters while still maintaining what was working in the first season. While I admit, the repetitive pining the female protagonists partake in over Tsukune started getting a little annoying, it was still entertaining enough for me to not really care all that much. On top of this, reviewers pointed out how plot development was lacking andlimited to the first episode and last 2 episodes, but I felt the season was entertaining enough to again over look what was missing. But to expand on the plot development, it did start to actually get really interesting which led to another fault - it ended here! It could have definitely gone further with additional seasons easily. I really look forward to any additional seasons they might make.
In the end, I enjoyed this series quite a bit and it prompted me to pick up the manga right away in hopes of developing the plot and characters further.

Story? Who cares? You're watching this for the fanservice, and as a harem, you should be pleased with 13 episodes of 99%, "Tsukune, Tsukune, take me." That's basically what it is; and it's implied ****SPOILERS**** that he and Moka (pink-haired) get together. ****POSSIBLE SPOILERS FROM HERE ON IN**** It's funny, actually. I think there's only ONE kiss the entire second season between Tsukune and any of his four girl "suitors," and it's not even Moka, I want to say it's Mazore (sp). Anyway, getting a little sidetracked there... you will enjoy this season if, like me, you enjoy fanservice and enjoy receiving a healthy dosage everyepisode. If I just described your tastes, come on in, enjoy the ride.
Story: N/A
I won't rate something that's not present. Don't take it negatively, the season did what it had intended to do and did it surprisingly well.
Art: 8
R + V has always had solid artwork/animation. However, this would be a 10 if they had kept the animation standards up to what they were churning out in the beginning of R + V, season 1. I mean, take a look at the opening credits: that's some dang good animation.
Sound: 7
Above average.
Character: 9
With fanservice comes character development. Better than the first season for sure.
Enjoyment: 8
Liked it more than the first, but that's really because of my taste in anime. I haven't read the manga, but I'm sure I'd have more negative things to say if I had. In hindsight, I would've liked to have seen a Moka x Tsukune kiss sometime during the series. Basically, it would've made the 13 eps. completely worth it.
Overall: 8
Hey, if you liked the first season, but you just wanna feel giddy about relationship business, this one's for you.

Rosario Vampire Capu2 is the second season of the Rosario Vampire anime. I did like this anime like the first season. Its a enjoyable anime. Well,its kinda fucking messed up and all,but it isn't terrible. It is full of ecchi,humor,and action,but it is full of strange episodes like(minor spoiler). The witch girl turning into a adult, Mokas little sister touching all over her etc. It isn't any better then the first season, but its still pretty good. Storyline7/10-NO SPOLERS. Tsukune is back in Yokai academy, home to monsters. Moka, the pink haired girl in love with Tsukune is back,along with Kurumu, Mizore,Ruby, the witch girl,and Moka'slittle sister.(shes a new character). Everyone does the same thing all over again. It is enjoyable,but its the same as the first season. Well,sort of,but you will find out :). Its good,but not amazing.
Character7/10-The characters are good. Mizore is still the coolest character.(she really is cool. Like freezing. LOL). I like Moka's inner part of herself. Mostly because of her badass appearance. Most of the characters are enjoyable,but that witch girl is so annoying,and Moka's little sister isn't any better. Mizore's mother and Kurumu's mother are so strange. Character development is lacking,which is also why its only a 7. The characers are good, but ive seen better.
Soundtrack6/10-Rosario Vampire has a fair sound track. Well,its noting amazin. The new opening theme song isn't that good in my opinon.(unlike the other one in the first season). THe music is okay,but I guess its enjoyable.
Art8/10-I love the art. Its so colorful and bright its just amazing. The characters look okay and all. There is nothing wrong with the art. Its great. Not perfect,but I still REALLY liked it. Just as good as the first season.
Enjoyment7/10-Yeah,I enjoyed this anime. ECCHI animes were never good,but this one isn't to bad. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Much more then I thought, because most ecchi anime are shit.
Overall7/10-Its good. Not my favortive, but still good. Rosario Vampire Capu2 isn't anything like a masterpiece, and t doesn't in prove anything over the first season,but its okay to watch. It isn't a anime I recommend,because it isn't that good as other series, but for ecchi fans,enjoy.

Rosario + Vampire was the first anime show I have watched other than Pokemon 10 years ago. As far as the story line is concerned, I found the concept unique and it was an enjoyable series to watch. The story line is taken lightly and not as serious as Death Note or Code Geass, but overall it has its perks. The synopsis of Rosario + Vampire is that Tsukune Aono has failed to get into High School but due to a mix-up is sent off to a school for monsters. He there meets a girl named Moka Akashiya and they quickly become friends. Despite hisnewly found friendship, he still has to worry about the "no humans" policy that would lead to an execution if he were ever caught. The art in this series is spectacular and honestly one of the bests out there. When compared to other series, this one takes the win for best art next to High School DxD in my opinion. It is a laughable series that is enjoyable to watch. It may not be for everyone seeing how it is still an ecchi. This series, however, has light sexual messages, which for some people is great. For the others (perverts), there is not much to see so maybe stick to DxD. Even though this series does not have the best story line, I still enjoyed it and recommend it.
Partymachin3
Awesome series, love the plot even though it strays pretty far from the plot of the manga. Capu2's animation got really good, I mean look at the opening alone... so good, very well done!
AnimeCheeze
To be fair, this is not the worst manga-to-anime transitions i've ever seen but I could have expected better. Unlike the action manga series, this mainly focuses on more of a romantic-comedy ecchi base. Mainly to my dissapointment, is that it doesn't quite follow the manga story whatsoever. But overall it's okay but not so much exciting to watch. I would rather stick with the manga series.
ElvenHighKing
In honesty I didn't think this was a good show, I felt like each episode had the same guidelines as the others. The characters personality was the same as any other harem/ecchi and to be honest the story is not thought out very well. Also, why do they stare at each other for so long, the amount of time they stare at each other is probably more than 2 good fight scenes WHY WOULD YOU FILL THE TIME LIKE THAT. I found some scenes funny and different but they seriously need to change it up a bit.
chocolatemanga
Rosario + Vampire (capu2) If you liked the first series then I am sure you will also like this one as it follows the human Tsukune as he starts his second year in a school full of monsters, the girls are still well drawn and cute even when they show their monster shapes of snowwoman, succubus, vampire and witch and we have Moka’s sister arrive to cause trouble, all in all a nice fighting- romantic- funny- anime, the episode when all the girls turn up at Tsukune’s human home is very good, as are the times we meet the parents but the downside of thesecond series is that the episodes are a bit disjointed and does not flow as well as the first series plus the bats and bears popping up all over the screen to hide pantie shots are only funny the first time, but as I said if you liked the first series then even with these faults I am sure you will like Capu2

I gave season one a seven, and I just gave season two an eight. It's really not a full point of difference between the two. Season one was about a 7.3 and season two is closer to a 7.7 so keep that in mind. The rest of this review assumes you have seen season one. If you haven't seen season one go see it first. It's well worth watching and will improve your enjoyment of season two. The rest of this review assumes you have seen season one and while there are no season two spoilers there are things discussed that are spoilers for seasonone.
What season two does better, well it's a fair bit. The music is better, in particular the opening where all the girls are performing as an idol group, is really delightful, the battles over Tsukune are taken up a notch.
The best thing about season two though has to be the introduction of Moko's sister Koko. She is just wonderful. She has a goal and pursues it ruthlessly and hilariously.
Unfortunately like the first season, there's some glaring problems. There's a real annoying episode that's composed entirely of short segments (less than three minute) that go no place and touch on prior events but not well. There is also that profoundly annoying problem from the first season, where inner Moka is continuously saving everyone, and it's taken as something everyone else is entitled to. The anime is aware of just horrible that whole situation would be, but never properly addresses it. When it does address it, just makes it worse and you really have to try hard to let it slide. Well the difference between good and great is made of small choices and failing to live up to potential.

The first season was a little slow to start. It seemed like it had a "monster of the week" type plot, where nothing was really connected until towards the end of that season. Second season was a lot better. The humor seemed to change; I laughed a ton at this season. There was finally a multi-episode plot and the battles seemed much more intense. The characters evolved nicely as well. Moka is one of my all-time favorite characters now. They fit nicely with each other as well. The one problem I have is the ending, it left things too open. It seemed prime for another season but Gonzohad some money issues. The ending screams that there's another season coming, there are just too many things that haven't been done yet.
I hope they continue this series, or even do a reboot now that the manga is coming to an end. They diverged after the first season since the second season began before the manga was finished. It's got quite an American audience since Netflix started featuring it. Sadly, it's just a hope for now.
But I highly recommend this show to anyone, especially harem lovers. It's one of my favorites.
