I wasn't bothered by the pacing so much, since I never liked the long drawn-out battle arcs anyway, and it got the point across that things were URGENT AS FUCK pretty well and man, we already lost Tokusa and Madarao? 6_9

Also, is it just me or does human Earl look like crazy Gary Oldman?

Also also, LINK GETS LIKE HALF A PANEL WHAT IS THIS.

...NOVEMBER?!

I was also disappointed by the lack of Link in this chapter. Since when does Link get lost?

I was hoping the Crows would last longer. Tokusaaaaaa....Maybe we'll get a little more Madarao?

I know right, Link's like an Allen GPS so I demand explanations. >:/ (read: moar Link)

I'm also thinking Madarao wouldn't die that easy, but then again I thought the same for the rest of the third Exorcists...

Exactly. And Allen's the one who has the habit of getting lost. Not to mention Madarao and Tokusa are wearing bright red--how hard are they to follow?

He wasn't stabbed through the heart, at least, and has regenerative powers, so there's slight hope. I expect he'll die sooner or later, though (and please let it be later, Hoshino). Ugh, I wish Tokusa had survived longer than this, his personality was one of the only redeeming factors of this chapter, for me. Hahaha, I am so into Madarao/Link right now. I'm dying for some English-language fics....I would write some if a) I hadn't lost nearly all inspiration to write and b) I didn't suck at pairing fics.

If Link appears in the next chapter to lovingly cradle Madarao in his arms I will be appeased for his absence in this chapter

Well, maybe not lovingly, since it's Link, but you know, in a concerned manner.

Tokusa was really growing on me too, mostly cause of this (http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/187/31/) and this (http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/187/42/). And as much as I love the Noahs, I wish the chapter was less about their backstory, because it makes my inner theological studies nerd cringe. o_e

As for the next chapter, I would also settle for Link lovingly concernedly cradling Allen in his arms, probably bickering with him, because they are my OTP.

Yeees, I loved Tokusa so much in this chapter, and then AAAAAARGH. Japanese manga artists + theology = crack, this is common. XD

I would support that development as well. *_*

I don't know of any in English. ;A; Do you read Japanese?

...I do sketch Mada/Link, at least. Maybe I'll post a few sketches to that new Crow comm sometime.


/late, was out of town

My Japanese is conversational at best, and my reading is even worse, so I have to stick with English fics. ;_;

[identity profile] symbolism-egg.livejournal.com 2009-08-21 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, damn. That's okay, though, I haven't read any great ones. *usually doesn't find Japanese fics that interesting*

Ummmm I kind of suck at drawing, but I uploaded a few anyway:

1 (http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff241/Kkamagwi/GiveThatBack.jpg) 2 (http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff241/Kkamagwi/MadaRinComic1Sm.jpg) 3 (http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff241/Kkamagwi/DallaejuseyoNoText.jpg)

The second two don't quite make sense out of the context of my head. orz


Also, if you haven't seen this gorgeous site yet, it has Link/Allen/Link and a Madarao/Link drawing (last square on the illustration page). http://min.to.cx/kks/

*sits here waiting for English Madarao/Link fic to exist*

Me thinks Allen finally successfully dumped Link somewhere XDD

[identity profile] symbolism-egg.livejournal.com 2009-08-20 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
XDDD

Did it involve distracting him with pie?

[identity profile] laifan.livejournal.com 2009-08-20 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm I'm certain pie was involved somehow. Either a recipe book or a new pie XD
