Vampire Knight
Anime • 2008 • Animation
ReportCross Academy is an elite boarding school with two separate, isolated classes: the Day Class and the Night Class. On the surface, Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu are prefects of the academy, and attempt to keep order between the students as classes rotate in the evenings. As the Night Class is full of utterly gorgeous elites, this can sometimes prove to be a bit difficult. It is completely necessary, however, as those "elites" are actually vampires. Yuuki and Zero act as guardians, protecting the secrets of the Night Class and the safety of their ignorant morning counterparts.
As the adopted daughter of the academy's chairman, Yuuki takes her job with a serious and energetic attitude. It also allows her to interact with her secret crush and savior, the president of the Night students' dorm, Kaname Kuran. Zero, on the other hand, has a deep-rooted hatred against vampires, and at times, does not hesitate to kill.
Can vampires and humans co-exist, even in the strict setup of the Cross Academy? Only time will tell.

There is addiction in the form of vampire characters craving blood, and some vampires needing to take 'blood tablets' to suppress these cravings.

There is implied vomiting, such as coughing and gagging sounds before a character leans over a sink. There is also another scene where a character has already vomited and the result is shown briefly on-screen.

Not specifically, but some vampire characters have a self-hatred because of their cravings for blood and lack of control.

No, however some characters have suicidal tendencies and are shown attempting suicide. Some characters have also been said to have suicided, though this is later revealed to be false.

The act of blood-drinking can be a sexual act for vampires in the show, and some of the scenes are portrayed as such.

They’re not revealed to be incestuous right away and are discounted by the characters as they’re vampires and not human.
