The Boss
VIZ announced at the 2009 Brand Licensing Europe Expo, that it has acquired the TV, Home Entertainment and Merchandising rights to the VAMPIRE KNIGHT animated series for United Kingdom.
VAMPIRE KNIGHT is based on the best-selling gothic-romance manga series created by Matsuri Hino. Cross Academy is attended by two groups of students: the Day Class and the Night Class. At twilight, when the students of the Day Class return to their dorm, they cross paths with the Night Class on their way to school. Yuki Cross and Zero Kiryu are the Guardians of the school, protecting the Day Class from the Academy's dark secret: the Night Class is full of vampires!

That's a nice piece of news. I'd definitely consider buying the first season... after that, it crashed and burned. A lot. This will probably sell well considering the current vampire obsession of the nation's teens.
