Oh, I was actually going to add D.Gray-man to the list, but I forgot. What's it actually about???

Monster does sound good, but I think after Death Note I need a break from mind-fuckery. I'm still a little bit crushed after episode 25!!!

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

D.Gray-man's set in a Victorian-era-ish world (at least the clothing looks sort of that way at first) where there's the Akuma, beings created when people try to bring the dead back to life--however, there's some strange entity called the Earl of Millenium who uses the people's attempts to create Akuma, and he wants to destroy humankind. (The reason why is not yet revealed, I think, but that's more due to how much of the manga there is right now, about 140 chapters.) The chief fighters against the Akuma are the Exorcists, who along with Finders, etc. (they are all members of the Black Order), travel around searching for pieces of "Innocence," something which all gathered together can stop the Earl, or something like that. Btw, Innocence comes in many forms--the Exorcists also use it as their weapons. That's the basic gist of the story--I really like it so far. The characters are pure awesomeness; also, it reminds me vaguely of Naruto, in that drive to save other (main character Allen Walker), etc. Also, another character named Kanda has the similar character disposition as Sasuke. And the others are awesome too, especially Lavi. :D Yeah, it's pretty awesome. :DDDD

Episode 25 sort of made me lose interest in DN afterward, so I know next to nothing about Near and Mello.

Kanda is way more bitchy than Sasuke. and Allen is nothing like Naruto at all. D:

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

Really? *thinks* I mean, Allen seems to be the kind of person who not only wants to fight for humans, but also for the Akuma (in the sense of, the Akuma contain the humans' souls, I need to save them from that). There's that thing with "my left arm for the Akuma, my right arm for the humans," and my impression is just that he has a really big heart, just like Naruto has a really big heart. Although he is much less... loud than Naruto. XP But yeah, in the sense that he really wants to save everyone. That's what I was thinking when I said he reminded me of Naruto. I dunno; I only read the entire manga like this weekend. >_> XP

LOL Kanda's just bitchy, hands down, definitely more than Sasuke. But he's very surly and biting and acts like a bastard, and in that sense he reminds me of Sasuke at his more bitter times.

[facets.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but still. D: just look at how they act in general. and Naruto doesn't want to save everybody, whaaaat?

Kanda is under constant male PMS, i swear.

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

XP Okay, I'll concede that.

PMS does not even begin to describe it. :P

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that sounds really awesome!!! I'll have to check it out! (Are they also in love like Naruto and Sasuke???)

You know, that's probably because nothing much interesting happens after episode 25. I'd probably like Near and Mello better if I wasn't so crushed, but oh wells.

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

LOL I don't think so. At least, their relationship is much different from Naruto-Sasuke, and personally, it's hard for me to see much romance between them. :P

Yeah. XP All I really remember about them is Mello was the one with yellow hair and Near played with puppets... >_>

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Damn, I'm always up for a bit of BL! But it sounds awesome anyway.

LOL, yeah that's about my impression of Near and Mello as well :P

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

Well... there is still a lot of Allen/Kanda fanfic in the D.Gray-man fandom. Not that that means much--it's a small fandom. But in a way, it's a relief to have to keep up with just a few comms, as opposed to huge sprawling fandoms like Naruto.

Hell yeah, it's awesome. :DDD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Naruto fandom is crazy to keep up with. I have literallly hundreds of fics bookmarked in my 'to read' folder. So I totally appreciate smaller fandoms. I'm starting to think I need to fully get over Death Note before I move onto anything else though.
