In case anyone was wondering, for a comedy-type romance anime, Karin is remarkably creepy at times. I liked Karin before I liked read Twilight and I still think this was a much, much better example of a high school vampire romance story. For one thing people are REALISTIC about it in ways they are not with Twilight. For a start, Karin and Unsui fall in love by spending time with each other, not by other means.

Though I kind of missed how the manga ended in comparison. Not that I didn't enjoy the anime ending, I just liked the manga's better.

Also, in Joy, Karin is holding lube. She is trying to give some to her older brother because he goes to an all boys school and according to some manga she read, it said that her brother was an Uke. Its an awesome scene. And the tiny text in Tiny Text (because I always actually write something) is 'because taking a dump in public is insanely embarrassing'. She's not actually shitting herself in that image though, but its what it looks like. Also, in element, Karin is kneeing at a lake that has been dyed blood red by vampire blood for a ceremony. So that is water, it is also blood, it is a representation of how by being a vampire she is unable to properly immerse herself into life.

Actually the anime is still called 'Karin' in the US, the manga is Chibi Vampire.

And in your defense it has a shitty dub, so I totally don't blame you for not liking the US version.
