Because of this, the world of Rosario + Vampire in it’s manga form is much more believable & alive. You’ve still got the school, but you’ve got Tsukune’s home, the beach, the forest & a field of sunflowers, and so many other places. What is different is where both mediums go: whereas the anime seems to stick to mostly the school & a few select places, the manga goes all over the place, and has a far more dynamic world. Both the anime & the manga take place at Yokai Academy, the school where monsters go. The one thing that doesn’t completely change is the setting. If anything, the second season of the show continues to use a weakened version of season 1's, and just cherry-picks pieces of what the animators & editors liked from the 2nd season of the manga. Things are worse when it gets to season 2! The 2nd season is basically an extension of the first season: same characters, same setting, etc. This watering down of everything trickles to all the other components, but suffice it to say this isn’t good.
If any of you know me, you’ll be surprised by that statement. Things are focused much more on the romantic comedy aspects, and with a shocking amount of unnecessary fan-service. With the show, we have a far more watered-down version of the comic’s story. With the anime, we have something completely different. The comic has a surprising amount of depth, good characters, and a mood & atmosphere that comes across as life-like & realistic. The difference’s between the two, however, are radically different! For starters, the story within the anime is considerably watered down when compared to the manga it’s based on. However, trouble brews, and it’s up to Tsukune & his paranormal harem to solve the problem.and that’s where the two are the same. Over the course of time, more supernatural women cross Tsukune’s path, becoming friends with him in the process. He bumps into Moka Akashiya, who shortly after their encounter reveals that she’s a vampire, and become friends.
His folks enroll him in a private school (Yokai Academy), only for him to find out that it’s a school for monsters (Not monster girls.sadly). The base core of the anime & manga’s story is essentially the same: Tsukune Aono is an average joe that can’t get into local high schools because of his grades. So, for the second time this year, it’s time to find out which is better. Then I found the manga around 2009, and boy of boy did I suffer some whiplash! There hasn’t been many times where I came across an anime, only to find that the manga is so diametrically opposite. Granted, I liked the anime for pervy reasons (I’ll get to this in a bit), but I liked it all the same. If you recall from my top-10 anime: new school edition post, I discovered Rosario + Vampire the anime due to my friend Amanda back in 2007. I’ve known about today’s subject matter for a long time. I have to admit, this one was easy fellow Otaku & Metalheads.
