  I find it challenging to rate this. It's no surprise that this is the first review after almost 5 years after it aired... This is basically a 3 minute comedy with no relation to the storyline whatsoever and...there's not much of a story either... Can't hurt to watch, right? Something which has the purpose of creating amusement to a more serious anime. It also reveals a more lenient side of Kaname, which is interesting considering how serious he is in the Anime. I'd say it's a challenge to write this review without spoiling anything, as there's not much to be shown in 3 minutes otherthan it's off-track comedy. nn(Message me if you can't find it but want to watch it.)

  There really isn't much of a story or a point to this, but if you're looking to pass time and have seen Vampire Knight and can at least marginally tolerate it, then this is a good fit for you. It's a short, three minute OVA about an election for dorm president in the Night Class. It's completely pointless and the characters are crack versions of themselves, making this pretty entertaining. The art is just as it is in the series. Cleanly drawn, dreary, and alright to look at. Nothing special. The sound was considerably better for me, especially after having seen the dubbed version, whichhas some of the worst voice actors I've yet to hear. nnThe characters are nothing special-- they're just crack, so I don't really see a point in elaborating on that.nnEither way, I enjoyed it enough that I was sad when it was over, and this is coming from a person who didn't like Vampire Knight all that much. nnI would recommend this if you: like Vampire Knight, like the night class, have three extra minutes you wanna get rid ofnnI would NOT recommend this if you: didn't like Vampire Knight, don't like crack, didn't like the Knight class, have very little time to spend on tv (then why are you here?) nnHave a great day everyone!

  I don´t recommend this story to anyone outside of Vampire knight fans. If you haven´t seen VK you probably wouldn´t enjoy this OVA. It´s basically a crack. The characters are parody of themselves. It reminds me of Kuroshitsuji picture drama. The story is extremely simple but it knows what it´s doing with it´s time. Story: Hanabusa, Takuma, Rima and Ruka are fighting over who will be the next president as they obsess over Kaname-sama. The whole short is only 3 minutes long with works to its advantage, overall it would get more and more boring as the time goes by. It´s just a fillerto the VK series. The main reason why I semi enjoyed this anime was because on how great job the voice actors did. If you like cheesy comedy you´ll enjoy it otherwise it´s waste of time.
