This is a must buy DVD. If you are into hurt/comfort or angst, then Knight Hunters is the series for you. If you tried the first DVD and are still unsure, buy this one. The story has changed from the one shot deals of the first few DVDs to an arc that lasts throughout the remaining episodes. The characters become much deeper and angstier. Add to that a great opening theme and very cute boys and you have the receipe for the perfect anime.

The 3rd DVD, is the best one so far BY far. Bishies...the bad guys (who are also bishies), and a soap oprea of pasts and family. You get to see some more of the bad guys (attempting to write without spoilers here), and........SCHU-KUN!

The interviews aren't half bad either, if you understand what they are talknig about. The outtakes--scared me. Okay, so they were childishly funny, but I was sweatdropping the whole time. The english dub isn't exactly worth it. But, the production sketches are coolie! You get tosee the sketches of out favorite bishies. I think this one has Tot and the weapons?

Anyway, the character development is great (even if the animation isn't the best) and it is starting to have a nice plot. This DVD also marks the end of the first season. DVD 4 and 5 will be the second season. It's a great anime, and now, my favorite

From buying the first three DVDs, I noticed that there was a slow start to the Weiß Kreuz series mainly in vol 1 and 2. But as the series progresses, the story develops more and more around the Takatori family and we are introduced to Schwarz hence there is a lot more excitement throughout the series. Schuldig gets lots of screen time to begin with and because of this we see what his abilities are i.e. telepathy, speed and mind manipulation. Actions from the other members follow suit soon after in later episodes.

From where the previous volume left us, Omi is still shocked from finding out he is Takatori Mamoru, who is the younger brother of Masafumi and Hirofumi. Episodes 11 and 12 focuses on Omi's struggle from realising he is Takatori Mamoru. Not only did he find out who his brothers are but he also finds out one other secret connecting to Ouka. There are many family secrets being revealed in this volume and Persia discovers something about him and Omi. I won't say anymore since it will give away spoilers. Schuldig takes this opportunity to torment poor Omi about killing both his brothers as well as attempt to get all of Weiss against one another. Ouka becomes a pawn in this game as a result.

Episodes 13-15 focuses on the rise of Takatori's power as a politician and this concerns Persia, who we learn is Takatori Reiji's younger brother. Volume 3 of Weiss Kreuz is the conclusion to the first arc of the series. There's tragedy but there's victory in the end. Altogether I'd say this volume packs enough excitement for a night or two.
