Chapter 187 Polls

I created a couple polls concerning this latest chapter. There are spoilers, in case you haven't read it already.

This first poll was created all in good fun, and not out of malice.

And, because I'm genuinely curious:

I think this chapter was good as it introduced a lot of new characters and concepts, which makes D.gray-man really interesting rather than flat, bland and predictable. It can be rather confusing, but hopefully it'll all add up in upcoming chapters.

I think the art in this particular chapter was quite good too! I really enjoy observing how Katsura Hoshino's has changed and matured over the 187 chapters. :D

If only most of those characters weren't so unappealing (at least in my opinion). And it would be nice if she would spend some of that time further developing the interesting characters she has instead of dropping them out of the manga for long stretches of time or killing them off right away. I don't know, it seems as if she could have paced it better and properly introduced a lot of those Noahs gradually instead of just showing them too us, then sending them all into action. At least Wisely seems like a well-developed character.

Interesting is good. But so is continuity. And a story shouldn't have to sacrifice the second to achieve the first. I hope Hoshino does cover what she skipped, and more fully develop the characters/concepts.

*finishes bitching* Anyway, that's good you liked the chapter and art, and thanks for participating in the poll!
