FANDOM ♥

So today I met sjen for lunch, and THEN we went to Kinos because tactics volume 8 had finally come for me ... ! ♥

Also, D.Gray-man 8. I am horribly tempted to make some sort of pun about greatness, but will refrain. For now.

FIVE-POINT NON-SPOILER SUMMARIES BEFORE I LAUNCH INTO BLATHER:

tactics
1. Wow, Raikou. You really are crazy. Your entire family is messed up.
2. HaruKan OTP canon much?
3. Thus the sidestories that started running during Kinoshita's illness start! Nooooo. T_T
4. On the other hand, the sidestories are kind of neat, too; each one focuses on a different youkai.
5. I would scan the entire damn book if I didn't go D: at the idea of breaking its spine.

D.Gray-man (which I will not blather on about, because really, most of it would be OMG RINALI YOU RULE THE WORLD)
1. Rinali, you are something like 1000000x hotter now. Srsly.
2. What the HELL is up with the cover? I mean, they don't show up in this volume. Hell, Allen barely shows up in this volume.
3. (2) is not as much of a problem as you'd think, because of Rinali's ultimate and awesome coolness. And hotness. IT WORKS.
4. General Cross, why are there chickens around your feet, and how do you pull off looking that awesome even so? T_T
5. Did I mention Rinali? I love a heroine who kicks more ass than all the heroes combined.

AND NOW ON TO THE BLATHER!

( tactics 8 )

--and in short, I am reminded once again that it's really kind of suck to be in a fandom where the comm is mostly-dead and everyone else either a) moved on or b) never cared for the series much in the first place. XD;

BUT I HAVE VOLUME 8 SO FOR NOW, EVERYTHING IS JUST DAMN SHINY♥
