I heard of this anime from a friend, and I'd like to know if its any good. I don't know where I should post it, but she says itsa Fantasy Romance aso I put it here by the way. >.>
Anyway, she says I should watch it but I don't really know. I need a few more opinions before I decide. Maybe a little more in-depth than just 'you should watch it.' I want to know if its the type of thing I'd be into. So anyone whose seen it, please tell me what you can.
Thanks in advance! ^-^

It's probably worth a youtube look at the least. It's somewhat funny, somewhat stupid, mildly romantic, and on occasion a little over-the-top..... so, that makes for about the average anime content?.....

I personally found it unwatchable, there are better things out there in this genre, I agree with above about it being over the top...It tries a lot of different things but really does none of them too well.
Mediocre at best...

I strongly disagree. How can you find a series "unwatchable" when you're a fan of something like Chobits? Karin is a sweet and funny romance-comedy about a vampire girl trying to fit in with the human world and falling in love. It's NOT over-the-top despite its very ecchish opening animation. The only thing that's over-the-top is Karin's breast size. Lol If you're looking for something light-hearted, cute, and funny, go for it. I enjoyed the show a lot.:closedeye And I'm collecting the manga.

Oh really? What is "well-done" by your standards? Karin certainly entertains well. It does humor well. It does originality well. And it does romance well. There's non of that soap-opera crap that a lot of other shows have. Any show that can do romance yet avoid that annoying trap is done well, thanks. XP

I felt that this show was very shallow (I felt chobits was deeper especially toward the end), that is why I found it "unwatchable". I suppose that word may be a bit strong though. It was cute but for some reason it just turned me off...It is obvious that you are a fan of the show and I am not...we disagree, it happens.

What's shallow about it? I admit the ending was dumb but that's because the manga's still going so.......you'll have that. *sigh*

o wow, the mangas still going on... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
ya i finished the series. I liked it until the end, Good Character development with a good plot and the comedy and romance was enjoyable.
but i didnt like the end, because the main couple never actually shared a kiss, and the main guy (forgot his name) didnt say he loved her yet but it was pretty obvious (i hope). But that was the main part that bothered me. I was loving the entire series, hoping for some awesome, if not cliched, ending, and instead i got that.
but I DIDNT know the manga was still going on.... HMMMMMMMM
haha i love winner, hes hilareous xD, and at the end hes becomes awesome

is the manga past the end in the anime? cuz id LOVE to know what happens after!!!
the end, in my opinon, left many things unanswered. especially for a girl like Karin, shes was so sweet and thoughtful, youd want her to have had the guy return her feelings as well. I mean it was just a hug and one of those "Ill always protect you" lines at the end @.@
other than that, the story was very enjoyable.
but the best part I liked about the ending was
how winner's grandpa got his blood sucked by everyone so he went completely opposite hahaha
