Angel Sanctuary volumes 8-11

[rachelmanija]

The series sure picked up once they got out of Hell level one, or wherever those interminable battles were going on. Also, the covers are just devastatingly beautiful. I think I need the art book.

The only other non-spoilery thing I can say is that the proofreading is nearly as horrible as Godchild. Here's a list of the tortures of Hell: "The

Hee, yes!

OMG YOU GOT TO THE LUCIFER REVEAL IT IS THE BEST THING EVER I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!

And yes! Insane angsty Mad Hatter who doesn't think he/she's worthy! Of Lucifer's love!

I love Kurai so much!

And eee! You got to Sara as Gabriel! Sara is my favorite of the spunky sisters/lovers/both of Gothic shoujo (see: Kotori).

I desperately want Mad Hatter + Lucifer/Kira/Nanatsusaya or Mad Hatter + Kurai or really anything with those characters. Also, I want more more more Alexiel/Lucifer!

Also also, the best thing about the Lucifer reveal is that it was foreshadowed! I think when Setsuna first goes down to hell, he sees the giant face that everyone says is Lucifer and says something about how it looks like Kira.

Mad Hatter + Lucifer/Kira/Nanatsusaya

That just might be the Best Pairing Ever.

You love me enough to make me a flashing bok choy of D00M/pear of anguish/etc icon when your icon-making thingies are ready, right?

[oyceter]

I do! Although I need to find a scan of the pear of anguish -- do you know what page or volume it's in?

Also! Read Mely's fic! I think you can read it now without spoilers: http://melymbrosia.gatefiction.com/allbyfandom.html#as

My favorites are The Language of Angels and Bindings, and then there is a reincarnation one in Shanghai just for me!

You didn't even mention the part where Alexiel attempts to seduce Kira so she can kill him in the middle of sex! It is my favorite part ever!

[rachelmanija]

As Kaori Yuki hopefully suggests we do earlier, I think I got dizzy and fainted.

[coffeeandink]

Also, there are *two* art books. I must get the second one. An embarassment of riches!

You do know that the pear of anguish is a real thing, right?

And not a nice one, either.

[rachelmanija]

Good Lord. No! I assumed it was a misprint for "spear," given the other typos in the series. ICK.

[matociquala]

One that seems to be my unwanted synchronicity for the month, also, as it turned up in an episode of Criminal Minds recently.

Observe:

Character A: "Hey, what's this?"

Character B (A torture survivor, for maximum irony....): "...the pear of anguish..."

Character A: *Gets it*

I laughed so much at your ETA, because of course Yuki Kaori would have painstakingly researched devices of torture!
