A teenage high school romantic comedy centered around a normal male student and a vampire female student.

Highschool life setting with female Vampires.

Both anime are about a girl who is born into a family of vampires but attends school like a normal girl. Both stories are about the every-day problems of a normal school girl, as well as problems that arise when they use their powers, and of course there is the male love interest, a normal boy.

Kooky vampire slice of life :-/

A positively charming classic rom-com with a vampire twist which isn't just a gimmick, but a well-written and integral part of the story. The ending gets a little intense but everything ultimately turns out pretty nicely.

Adorable characters, solid jokes and a romance that steadily progresses without any contrived interruptions. Fans of a the genre should absolutely take a peek.

A simple romcom of a vampire girl and a human boy.

vampire romance....definitely comedy....rewatched many times...

byyota71 on2016-02-14 22:47

Very sweet, funny and nice story higly recommended, there was just one thing that i dont get, why this ecchi opening? this anime its not ecchi or fanservice at all, i repeat myself i just dont get it, they don't need this type of stuff, the anime is very very good

bybrunoais on2012-01-19 22:46

It's a good alternative story to the manga's story (the separation happens in ep7, when a new character appears).
I think the best end to this story would be a healthy mix of both ends (the manga's and the anime's). The manga's end is better suited to the mood of the story (for what I think) even if
I really like the way Winner says "san" like in "Karin-san".
Another thing I didn't like. This anime "isn't supposed" to have ecchi stuff and fanservice but they couldn't resist could they? [sarcasm]Well thank you! Thank you really much![/sarcasm] That just ruined part of this story!

A very amusing series with an unconventional touch on vampires. When I watched it, I enjoyed it and found myself lost in it very quickly. I strongly recommend it to those who enjoy romantic comedies, and not only!

bysammy321 on2009-07-28 21:47

I really enjoyed this series! It has lots of comedy and is very very watchable, give this series a try

byrevarre on2009-05-13 19:47

Funny and heartwarming.. And the ending is great =)

byanimekid34 on2009-05-04 15:16

It was ok and funny at times. The only real thing that bugged me was how Kenta Usui eyes' looked. LOL

Karin is a romantic comedy based on a relationship between a weird looking guy and a female vampire (an unvampire to be more exact). The recipe is pretty simple, attach the inverse of a vampire to a cute personality and throw in an inexplicable attraction to the strangest looking guy one can find. It's a fairly light series overall but there are some pretty good cliffhanger moments near the end.

The series is a bit long and certain episodes are filler material but overall the series has a good progression and overall left a good impression.

Animation:
The animation style is a bit different at first but it wasn't distracting. The OP is a bit odd as it suggests that the series is MUCH more ecchi than it actually is. Also, despite the fact that Karin's blood "overflows", I still think Ikuto from Nagasarete Airantou loses more blood.

There are also some short fighting/action sequences that are handled okay, didn't expect a romantic comedy to set a new bar for action anyways. The series looks pretty good overall.

Sound:
The OP is fair and the ED is skip-able. The BGM is vampire-themed but not heavily so. It doesn't stand out much but is present when necessary. The VAs are pretty good (Karin is the debut/breakout role for Sayuri). Karin is definitely the stand out here as her voice is very unique.

Overall: Music (3/5), VA (4/5).

Story:
Karin belongs to the Maaka vampire family which lives on a hill. Karin is an unvampire, meaning she's somewhat opposite to what a vampire normally is. She can go in the sun and instead of lacking blood, she produces too much of it, thus having lots of "embarrassing" bloody noses. One day, a transfer student named Usui Kenta finds out about her bloody noses and helps her clean up and recover. Seeing this as a chance, the Maaka family agrees to tolerate Usui knowing her secret in exchange for helping her when she has her accidents.

The story is a bit different than the typical vampire show as many beliefs about vampires are proven to be wrong for the most part. Apparently vampires are completely unrelated to humans so their blood doesn't really mix. Also, when a vampire sucks out blood, they suck out a small amount of blood in addition to also sucking out certain traits of the person temporarily (the trait varies with the vampire).

The overall progression is fair though a large number of episodes explain the past of different support characters (that may be skipped if desired). The main plot line is very predictable as the protagonists face some very typical roadblocks on their road to happiness.

There are some fairly blatant plot holes but if you can stand a few of them the story is fairly smooth. Conclusion-wise, this series actually does justice to actually finish the series off by explaining the aftermath of the climax instead of just cutting to credits.

Character:
Karin's vampire affinity is for unhappiness. This means that she is attracted to unhappiness and will suck out unhappiness (inject happiness?) when she bites into a human. She immediately becomes attracted to Usui because of his unhappy family situation (his mother is a total klutz so fails to get a job anywhere). Karin's personality is quite enjoyable and the development between the two is fairly progressive. There are other relationships in the series but these are quite toned down. A Romeo and Juliet type setup near the end of the show (Vampires don't mingle with humans) does develop but don't expect a Shakespearean conclusion.

Value:
The show overall was an enjoyable light watch. There were definitely some standout episodes (and some lame ones) but the end impression was pretty good. Not the best romantic comedy out there but definitely a good watch and worth the time.

Well well, here we are.
First of all I apologize in anticipation for any grammar errors//switched letters//exessive repetitions but im overly tired and just focusing on the monitor requires pretty much all my actual skills.

Even after all the midly-cold reviews, i decided to go and watch this anime.
After all, pretty much everyone agreed on a point: "not a masterpiece, not a great product, yet still pretty enjoyable and lighthearted".
Which was exactly what I was wanting, and pretty much what i got from it.
So why the low enjoyment rate ? Let's leave that for later and let's go in order:

Animation:[/b]
Well, nothing out of the ordinary for a product of this type. Pretty much covers the basic needs, whit no big flaws or pros.

Sound:[/b]
Good work here, for real. Every character got a good voice, right on the spot for the personal attitude.
Whit the very, very painful exception of Winner.
God I hate that guy. Aside his voice being pretty irritating, hes got this terrible nasal accent, mixed up whit some random english word and a way of express himself that even if dubbed in a serious and deep way would still make him sound like a pathetic idiot, and I seriusly mean no offense to no idiot. No one deserve this much.

Story[/b]
Now, THIS is the enjoyment killer.
Im not gonna bitch about the lack of deepness and so on, in this kind of products it's kinda normal.
It would be like complaining about a bike because it has got only 2 weels.
That said, im gonna add that I wasnt expecting some deep-in examination of vampires, vampire culture/folklore and so on.
And that was right on the mark, so nothing strange here either.
Another BIG pro is that there isnt the usual Harem style delusion or dementia style gags (people flying after punches, completely irrational/exessive/out-of-the-world reactions, etcetera, etcetera )
So what went wrong ?
Simply put: The ending.
Let me be perfectly clear: this isn't a problem of this anime in particular, if only the last 10 minutes where slightly different I would have given a much higher vote.
Since on the end of this review im gonna put some "kinda spoiler comment" ( I wont tell any actual facts, even so you can deduce varius things), i'll say this right away:
If you seek a light entertaiment without particular fixation about the vapire subject, I say :Go watch this anime and you'll get what you want, you wont be deluded.

Now, if you want to watch this anime, stop reading here. If you are halfway the serie and you want to know if watching the other episodes would be a waste of your time, you'll find a general idea of the Ending taste just below here.
-------------------------------------------------------



SPOILER-LIKE SECTION:
So, here we are.
The whole story stay over the lignes for nearly all its length. In the latest episodes, there would be a more serious turn-over, ending in an obvious lighthearted section.
What I seriously disliked, and I dislike in MANY products like this one, is that in the end we arrive in an "impasse state".
Basically, a freakload of things happened, yet the situation is back stalling to what we've seen in the early episodes, whit just a couple of vague symbologisms as a plus.
Simply put :SCREW THAT.

I don't get, i'll never get it and i dont get people that like these endings.
They are nor poethic, rational, satifactory or simply founctionals.
You have a boy and girl, in the prime of youth. They build up a relationship throught a whole lot of time, they get to seriusly like each other, they both KNOW it, yet nothing happens.
Here we get shot back in the middle of nowhere, where they happily laught togheter, routine kicks back-in, and they forget about the bag full of hormones they are carring around.
Anyone, ANYONE, in similar situations, has accomplished way more in 1/10 of the time. But not in these animes, they are happy to swim in chastity by blushing each other to death.
Mind it: im not telling you that they should get on in a wild orgy, right in the middle of the street.
But after going throught HELL just to be togheter again (another clichè, vampires or not), we should be graced whit the confirmation that they finally manage to be a couple at all effects, not some vague "maybe, we dont know, is up to you, bye bye -end- "
Who made this anime wants to use a symbologism ? OK.
Just let the two poor slobs at least kiss each others, or the philing up of stress is gonna make em explode.

Sadly, this happens in LOTS of products like this one (there are exceptions, but as the name says they are few in proportion), and I find it extremely childish and out of target, if not plain sad.

If someone is different from you, how much of a problem does that create?

Karin presents an interesting spin on both the romantic comedy and vampire genres. It's so much more than a simple love story where two characters deny they love each other when they really do, and it's not the typical, can-humans-and-vampires-really-co-exist vampire story. Instead, it's about separating everyone's expectations from your own. The most valuable aspect of this show is the characters. Each one presents their own motivations and desires.

It asks a lot of interesting questions. If a vampire does not harm humans per se, then is it okay to suck their blood? If, instead, they were able to suck away feelings—jealousy, love, stress, unhappiness, deceit, pride—is it okay? One may regard this question as rather quixotic, since it can’t happen in reality, but if vampires are replaced by medicine, the question still remains—is it okay to “help” someone by taking away aspects of one’s personality and emotion? If it is, then who is it okay to help—those around you, who you know and want to help, or those who you don’t know, so that the consequences are not seen or felt?

Secrets are troublesome. If found out, they create burdens on those who are forced to keep them. They are also hurtful when they get in the way of understanding and acceptance.

Some may find the vampire story line weak and ineffective, but I would argue that Karin is a metaphor for how hard it is to figure out what you want, and understand yourself, when the world around you seems to already have you pegged in a certain role. It’s about accepting yourself as you are, rather than who everyone else wants you to be. Whose expectations do you fulfill—yours, or everyone else’s? Who knows what’s best for you?

This is what I found engaging about Karin—it presents questions that are left for the viewer to answer. In addition, (Maki and Anju’s stories, especially) it presents the pain of realizing that what you want is not what reality offers. Even Winner’s role is somewhat painful, as annoying as he is, because what he feels is different from what his duties entail, rendering him weak and ineffectual.

Animation: Typical, nothing special, it's not really meant to add or subtract from the series, though I did find Karin's bosoms quite alarming, and the fact that so many characters having differently colored hair made it seem less believable.

Sound: I found the voices of both Karin and Winner quite annoying. Karin's crying and wailing grated on my nerves, while Winner's accent just sounded painful. The opening and ending songs, however, were excellent, providing the perfect bookends to the show, exciting at the beginning, and contemplative and subdued at the end.

Story: The story really is the weak point of the show. I'm always for series with a strong plot line, or a series with little plot, but a lot of character development. I always find it problematic when a series tries to include both, but the character development is separate from the plot. I find the plot to get in the way of connecting with the characters, especially when the Grandma comes around and adds pointless history into the mix.

Characters: Loved them. Definitely the reason to watch the series. Each one's story really adds to the overall impact of the series. It's very easy to connect with many of the characters and feel emotion for them. The sole exceptions (at least for me) were the Grandma, who I thought was unnecessary, and the Sinclair family, who just got on my nerves.

Not your typical vampire anime like Hellsing, Karin puts a romantic/comedic spin on the vampire genre, and even the sucking of blood by vampires is helpful to humans rather than harming them.

This anime focuses on a young girl named Karin and her relationship with Usui Kenta, a rather normal young boy in her school. However, while dealing with this pretty strereotypical romance, she has to deal with the issue that she is a vampire, which really brings uniqueness to this series and seperates it from other romance animes. Despite this unique aspect, it is still a bit predictable.

The supporting cast is excellent, with characters like Winner, Karin's grandmother Elda, Karin's siblings Anju and Ren, and even Anju's doll-friend Bge bringing life and variety to the series. Overall, I would say the characters are the best part about the series, with Anju being my personal favorite. She and her doll remind me a lot of Reiha and her doll from Vampire Princess Miyu. While some of the characters don't have extensive depth, they all are given enough depth and background to flesh them out and make them interesting.

The series is light-hearted throughout, though with the occasional romance or vampire-related drama to spice things up; even the ending transforms from a dramatic action scene into a light-hearted reflection.

Some may be turned off (or on) by Karin's large breasts, and before I watched the series I read some reviews here that said it took away from the series, however while watching it I didn't anything regarding Karin's breasts that took away from the story or was detrimental to the scene that was being portrayed. In fact, in only a few scenes in the entire series were the breats really the focus of attention, and in all of them it was for the sake of comedy.

I would recomend this anime to most anyone to give it a try, though those don't enjoy these school-romance type animes shouldn't watch it. I might watch this anime again, though not for awhile, and even then probably only some episodes, but it is an interesting enough anime that I will keep it around.

bytammo on2006-11-02 02:13

*Sidenote: My subtitles were clear on the injections and Karin being NOT the only special case.

I never considered myself avid vampire fan, nor have I ever went out of my way for anything vampire related. However, as far as vampire genre goes, rarely I come across anyone with my experience.

And what the aforementioned experience tells me?Karin is not typical vampiric anime, in fact I would rather named it quasi-vampire type. Though out of those not so typical it is by far the closest to the stereotype.

Among quasi-vampiric titlesHitsuji no Uta andTsukuyomi Moon Phase immediately comes to mind. Disregard both, asKarin never attempts to deliver anything that intense as first of the two (with dubious exception of the ending); nor does it land as low in my book, asTsukuyomi did. Yet, for sake of placing this title somewhere on the scale, it's closer to whatTsukuyomi TRIED to achieve than to full-scale gothic atmosphere of a real vampire anime, like, say,Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust orVampire Princess Miyu.

I honestly don't think this is worth Your while. It lacks a lot to be. Gothic imagery? Rare. Hell,Tsukuyomi did a better job here! Vampire battles? Pffft. Three in whole series. With mediocre animation, to lessen the enjoyment further. Beast dilemma? Not really, since those vapire INJECT their blood in others, and they additionally relieve people of negative emotions. This is tackled in details later, in story section.

On the other hand, there are few things done... OK. OK enough that I will not bash the thing, nor will I condemn it as a WASTE of Your time. Because of two main protagonists, their feelings and because of likeable side characters (Anju, Maki), this series gains a bit.

Summarizing, this title ends up being slightly above average. Occasional laugh, not so bad romance and nothing really annoying among the positives, downside being the weird vampire story not really being put to any interesting use.


Animation and Art[/b]

Neither good, nor bad. Fight sequences are mediocre (Elda vs Victor) down to weak (everything else). Background imagery is bland and forgettable.

Frankly, I lowered one point seeing it was made in 2005-2006. This is second weakest vampire-related animated series, withTsukuyomi having those budget cuts and notorious chandelier sequence being the first. It's not that animation is done BADLY. It's rather what is lacking gets here point taken. Vehicles, magic, bats, art, backgrounds, reused cells (I am under impression that for Karin's nosebleed they reused one sequence over and over) - all that is done in an easiest way possible. Nothing really to praise here, nothing at all (use of colors was nice, but nothing special). And that's my biggest complaint.

Oh! As a sidenote, do not trust the imagery from the opening song, there is almost no ecchi here, except for the opening, that is. Characters are drawn fine, accordingly to nowadays standards, however there's nothing more to it.


Sound

Your average japanese soundtrack, with better than average seiyuus. Nothing more to say here, except maybe that ending song was nice and out of all music used throughout the anime this one piece managed to stay in my mind.


Story

Biggest drawback. While the anime features quite a few interesting ideas, including totally new approach to vampires and blood-sucking, it never really tries to put those new ideas to good use. It rather uses them as plot-devices, piling up problems or solutions, whatever plot demands right in this very moment. Also, the story is not really coherent. Let me provide some examples.

How Karin differs from other vampires? Well, she is a blood-maker. Now if all vampires INJECT their blood in their victims, then how come she is special? She injects as well as they do, and they all have to make that blood, if they are to inject it, unless suddenly Solomon CAN pour from empty glasses. So, they are all blood makers, or they do NOT inject their blood in their victims. This might be the poor subtitles case, however I doubt it, for I have seen two different fan-subs for this title, and the "injection" was in both.

Now if she is special, for she is not harmed by sun, how come that her father taking her home first time she bit someone suffers no harm? Anju is scorched as soon as she reveals some skin. Ren takes damage even while fully clothed. Something ain't right here.

One more weird thing. Vampires. NIGHT DWELLERS, NOCTURNAL CREATURES. And their SPECIAL ceremony takes place... in the middle of a sunny day. Is it just me, or something is seriously wrong?

That's it about coherency, now as nice ideas being put to use.

First of all, the drama. Vampire themes is popular because of drama they generate. Vampire vs human, day vs night evil vs good. All those possibilities for drama with 'evil' humans, 'good' vampires, coexistence of the species, Romeo and Juliet themes... all that and more can be found within average vampire movie.

This anime kills the vampire drama almost every way it can.

Usually, in love affairs between the two species (vampire and human) age and immortality play a role. Here it doesn't seem to be a problem, all it gets is a slight mention in quite peculiar way: "and if this happens, age will be a problem".

Second golden opportunity for drama in ANY vampiric story is vampire's nocturnal character. However main heroine is as peculiar vampire as it can be. She basks in sun all she wants, without ANY unpleasentries whatsoever.

Yet another nice idea is that vampires have their tastes. This is similar for WOD: Vampire, The Masquerade, where Ventrue clan had their weakness, they could feast only on some kind of prey: the proud, the scientists, the virgins etc.
Now here it's about emotions. Vampires steal them, or rather they "suck them out". Neat? Not really, because of how the makers decided to use it.

Arguably apart from Elda, everybody else sucks bad things, like stress, unhappiness, deceit... Suddenly, instead of bad vampires and parasites, we have stress relievers, care-takers, etc. Now I could live with it, if the makers had some sort of PLAN for this, otherwise fine, idea.

Unfortunately they did not. They simply threw it in for kicks.

And that is a where the vampire story becomes a detriment. Because the drama in vampires lies mainly in the fact, that they feast on humans, like humans feast on animals. And here... partner constanly lies to You? Call vampires! Work stresses You to extreme? Vampire are Your friends! Pride can destroy Your plans? Vampire remedy on it's way! Etc.

How the hell that is supposed to be dramatic? If we take the characters into equation, it cannot. Not one vampire, not even Ren, with his "I'm superior" attitude made me ever think of drama. I kept thinking "now THAT'S what I call useful!".

What does it leaves us with? That only drama we have here, is at the end. And since the ending is rushed and unconvincing then drama also is rushed and unconvincing. Even at the end I was able to tell why what they implied happened, did NOT happen. And I was not mistaken. And if by some slim chance did the mood began to be dramatic there was always Winner Sinclair coming (with his dumb act) to the rescue. This (supposedly) comedic relief was not at all funny.

The only story we have here is at the end. Introduction is mandatory, every single anime must introduce the characters, so this doesn't count as actual story. Story begins when You have those characters introduced, story is what You DO with them. And inKarin, they do little. All the time we have school-comedy and romance, with some not so subtle quasi vampire themes.

So, we have character introduction, two episodes where Elda appears, and last four episodes. Rest is fillers. Kinda like inCowboy Bebop, story is scarce.

On the bright side though, makers shunned away silly ecchi fillers: there is no hot-springs, no beach (there's pool episode, fortunately it explains few things among the characters), no harem etc. We get to see quite enjoyable school-comedy / romance.

No annoying cliches, so numerous in harems, no panty shots (well, almost). However everything there is, is plain vanilla. In the end, I know that after a while I will forget most of it, because there is no charm to go with it.


Character[/b]

What carries this anime through are two main characters - or rather their interactions. To avoid spoilers I won't go into detailed description of their backgrounds, let's just say that she is vampire failure pretty close to being human, he is a creepy-eyed fellow that makes her blood boil. Almost literally.

What I liked in them, is that they are quite free from cliches. She is not weak-willed, ditzy cutie, he is no indecisive spineless fellow. She is not violent sporty girl, he is no pervert. This anime gets through in my book, because of absence of hackneyed solutions, seen hundreds of times before. Their feelings develop pretty naturally, they actually TALK to each other, and I can see the care, the friendship and later love. One of few anime to show me natural character development, thus making my rank here this high.

Unfortunately, neither of those characters shows real depth. On the contrary. And thus it makes even the romance, the best part of whole anime, forgettable. Because Karin and Kenta don't have anything in them. Even their dreams are shallow.

Aside from those two, there is Maki and Anju andthose two steal the show everytime they appear.

First one is quite interesting character in her own way, showing quite amazing maturity at times, and quite girlish attitude right with it. The way she handled her friend, and her feelings for Winner got through to me, and I REALLY liked the girl. In my oppinion she is more interesting and deeper character than Karin, whose aims are quite simple and who is quite simple-minded girl.

Anju, on the other hand is another story. Being nearly-awakened vampire, this girl at first seems the most obvious cliche in whole anime: know it all child with monotone voice. Luckily, most of the times she's with her favourite toy Bge, and his loud mouth and rude behaviours, as well as their interactions add some flavor to the character.

Anju also has few times when she shows some emotions, and I quickly found her interesing, despite initial impression.

Bge serves IMO as much better comedic relief than Winner Sinclair and Karin's parents alltogether. Neither of the two made me smile. Ever.

Winner borders on being annoying, his accent made me rose my eyebrows and his antics are pathethic and repetitive. Example of this kind of humour? The fact that he's unable to remember person names is supposed to make You laugh. Because You know, it's so funny hearing him saying "Karin-san friend, this, Karin-san friend that". So. Funny. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Somehow I never got around Kenta's mother, she was one-sided for me. Depressed but wise and in love, or cheerful, but wise and in love. If someone was to say something wise to Kenta, it always was his mother. The only powerful scene I saw with her, is when she arrived at the library where he studied only to give him the umbrella, even though she asked him few times to reserve this day since it's this particular day of the year and he kept saying no. THAT was when I saw her as a person. Sadly, nothing more.

Ren could be interesting, but his episode was not my cup of tea (I am not into shounen-ai, not even this slight). Out of the Marker's family he was the closest to real vampire though. Rest of the characters are plot pushers (Elda, hunter) or comedic relief (Karin parents).


Value[/b]

Vampire themes aren't served well here. Focus on romance and character interactions, and You might enjoy it. It sure helps if You expect light comedy, because otherwise Your expectations won't be met. There is almost no ecchi here, vampire themes are scarce and unusually treated, and if You will be looking for coherent story or main plot You won't be pleased. However as a light entertainment with school-kid romance it's OK.
One more thing, be mindful of fansubs. Some translated the name of the vampire family as Maaka, while it should be Marker.

Karin. Okay, I watched the promotion and then I was all "Man, what the heck is this stupid show?" but I decided the only way to judge it was to watch the first episode. I kept thinking "man what a waste f time" and yet it's one of those animes that I just couldn't stop watching until the end.

ANIMATION:
Animation was choppy and the characters all looked a little "off", especially with the differing eye styles used between characters, even though that was an elmement of the story. 6/10. it could have been better.

SOUND:
Sound was decent but BGM was constantly recycled and so on...basically it was awful EXCEPT I'll give it back points because the character voices were so well selected.

STORY:
Despite the slow down of the story in the middle episodes for character development, the story is good enough to keep you watching. I'm really not one for vampire shows but this was simply entertaining.

CHARACTER:
As far as I'm concerned, All the characters were well written for except the vampire hunters who were slightly unrealistic, however they were still a vital part of the story. Overall, a 7/10. It could have been better but character development is often what you watched the show for.

VALUE:
Value...Now, in the end, everything more or less worked out...you'll see if you watch it. It's a decent series, it's worth the 12 hours especially if you like romance.

ENJOYMENT:
Okay, IF you're looking for a vampire flick, this isn't it. sure there is lots of blood, and some vampire blood sucking action, but really the story revolves around being a love comedy. And it's good at that. My advice is this: If you like romance and don't mind seeing blood and a very small bit of violence, this is great. however if you don't like blood then you shouldn't watch it, if you'r looking for SERIOUS romance, also don't watch it (there is a pit portion of comedy in here) and finally the series has quite a bit of ECCHI, so watch out. Karin herself makes a few appearances that scream fanservice, especially in the later episodes. I wouldn't show it to kids but I wouldn't reccommend it for older ages either...one of those weird in-betweeners.

Overall it's good. Not "segoi" like KGNE or futakoi, but it's a good romance comedy. I'd reccommend it to anyone who likes vampires and is sick of the usual vampire plotlines.
