Holy crap. This image just about atones for the multi-month hiatus! And I don't even ship this pairing! (I prefer to have Lavi involved in my yaoi. ~_^) Heck, I can even forgive Hoshino for making us wait until November for the next chapter.

I want a poster of this, dammit! (Hopefully, the picture will be included in the 2010 calendar!)

So, DGM is on hiatus again. And we only got a hint toward the long-promised Kanda past, but at least it's a hint that'll keep the fans speculating (and, therefore, maintain fan interest) until Hoshino's hand is well enough to start drawing again ( Read more... )

Funimation's handling of the D. Gray-Man anime puzzles me. First, they give it a dub that has proven controversial with the fans. Then, they fail to distribute it very well. I double-checked, the official street date was, indeed, last Tuesday. So I visited a Saturday Matinee (basically the same as Suncoast), an FYE, two Best Buys and a Borders this ( Read more... )

Since today is Women's Day, and female anime characters unfairly get blanket-bashed by fangirls time and time and time again . . . I thought I'd post this AMV, one of the best tributes I've seen yet to the awesomeness of a female character.

We have spoilers! We have confirmation that it's going to be on the cover this week! Finally, D. GRAY-MAN IS BACK! The manga, at least. I'm sure we won't get anime again until the manga runs at least six months continually. But still, NEW CANON!

Okay, You Higuri, it's your turn now. Bring Cantarella back this summer like you said you would. ~_^

So, I finally watched the last episode of the DGM anime tonight. It's going to feel very strange to not have nw eps available every week; there's been an anime for as long as I've been in the fandom (I came onboard Memorial Day weekend of 2007 - yes, during Anime North).

I have to say the DGM fandom is very creative with the media in which it chooses to render its characters. We've had DGM cookies, eggs, onigiri . . . and now this!

Revolutionary Girl Utena opening redone as a LaviXAllen video, with Lavi as Utena and Allen as Anthy:

There seems to be a trend in Japan of redoing openings/closings of other anime with DGM characters, but this is one of the best ones ( Read more... )

Lavi, Allen and Kanda rendered as onigiri. Giving new meaning to "bishies good enough to eat."

Well, damn. The D. Gray-Man Kink Meme has so many requests, they had to open up a second meme (attached to the first). This apparently happened over the last couple of weeks, I haven't had a chance to see th meme much since the Olympics began ( Read more... )
