YMMV / Requiem Vampire Knight

Go To

  • Anvilicious: In case you didn't get who the Person of Mass Destruction was, his blood flows until it looks like a very recognizeable mustache. Astoundingly enough, while people like Attila, Nero, and Robespierre were reborn as high-ranking vampires, Hitler isn't one of them. That's because he's kept as a weapon of mass destruction against Lemures, once their tormentor is dead (again), they are no longer bound to Resurrection. Two others of the same scale are on Dracula's ship, but their identity hasn't been revealed yet.
  • Awesome Art: While the writing of the comic is of varying quality, the artwork is stunningly beautiful. Every page and panel is drawn with love and care and is ridiculously detailed, and while the first issue had very good artwork by itself, it has gotten better and more intricate with every subsequent issue.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Most, if not all, of the comic's humor hinges on this trope. For instance, a vampire brutally killing nuns with such violence that he is showering in their blood? Disturbing. Him shouting: "Its raining nuns! Hellelujah!"? Bloody Hilarious.
  • Evil Is Cool: With the exception of the zombies and lamias, most denizens of Résurrection are despicable monsters who also happen to be epic looking ones.
  • Narm:
    • Okay, so it was very romantic, but seriously, Rebecca kissing Heinrich's photo as she lies dying in the snow at Kulbricht? Especially since on that photo, Heinrich looks like a woman.
    • Dracula has a very strange codpiece in his armor, which otherwise looks positively fearsome.
  • Squick: There is no shortage of moments that will disgust readers:
    • The Arch-Hierophant and his fellow Archeologists requiring someone else's fresh skin so they can go out of their tanks.
    • Black Sabbat's girlfriend taking the form of a male mandrill.
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The world is so goddamn grimdark that there's hardly anyone to root for. Let's see, it's set on a hellworld where the wicked are rewarded by being turned into powerful monsters and the good are punished by being turned into less powerful monsters, the whole culture is built around violence, bloodshed, and betraying anyone you can, and even the gods are terrible eldritch entities at war with each other. Oh, and the main character is an ex-Nazi who is the reincarnation of possibly the evilest character in the setting.
