O MAN DO I LOVE ME SOME VAMPIRES!!!
In fact... I think I may have mentioned it on the forums here before......... but I am totally related to Vlad Tepes. Like waaaaaaaaay back.. but the relation is there! (Romanian is on dad's side of the family and apparently my family actually owns land in Transylvania...)
On a related note... my mom's side of the family consists of some Latvian gypsies (and Prussians)... and in case you didn't know... Tepes wasn't particularly fond of gypsies.... and he would line the road to his castle with their heads on pikes - along with other assorted types of people.
So, in short. My dad's side of the family persecuted and killed my mom's side of the family. Awesome, eh? XD
EDIT: Oh ha ha, I forgot to explain my choice. LOL See? I get a little carried away sometimes.
I just caught myself up with the tankobons of VK. 4-9 came in the mail yesterday.. Now I wait for book 11 in December.
Vampire Knight is my absolute favourite from the list anyway.. with Kaname being the vamp I want to do naughty things to I very innocently love the most. >.>;

Tough choice between VK and Trinity Blood --
it usually really depends on my mood, because one is WAYY more serious and violent than the other, but I love the characters of VK I think more... they have more humor (aside from Abel) and I... I don't know, I just seem to like VK better...
Sad day. I'm sorry Troy? XD

Sad day. I'm sorry Troy? XD What does this mean, Neko? Sad day?? Anyway, I have to chime in with my UBER LIEBE (super love) for Trinity Blood!! *yay* Why do I love it so, you ask? Because I read the original novels and the anime version can't even hold a candle to them, that's why! Sure, sure, the anime is great. A great anime, indeed. But, you all would be so surprised by how DIFFERENT they are. VERY different, and the novels are just so much better. I completely love the characters so much more because, in the novels, they are described in so much more detail. *SPOILERS FROM THE T.B. NOVELS* Abel is really pretty much the same, though, but Tres is like hilarious beyond comprehension, even though he never tries to be. He's around Abel ALL the time, practically. Then, you have Noelle, who is NOT drooling over Abel AT ALL. Damn the animators for making her like that. She never even tells Abel anything about her feelings for him. He never knows anything at all. Abel never treats Esther rudely after Noelle dies, because HE DIDN'T KNOW ESTHER AT THE TIME. Ugh... Now, that brings me to Abel and Esther. Esther is very different, too, not following Abel around everywhere. Quite the other way around, literally. Abel is always trailing Esther to the point where she can't even stand him anymore! She constantly screams at him to leave her alone! The boy's got it bad for red-heads... (*evilgrin*) Havel is a Judas, meaning, a traitor to Caterina, which never happens in the anime due to never really seeing him much at all. He causes trouble in one novel. Hugue is just a sexy-a$$ man, which we can see in the anime, but it goes SOOOO much farther in the novels!! *nosebleedcity* He has some issue with a woman he was in love with years ago whom he is reunited with, but she married his former best friend because the A-hole stole her from him after his family was massacred. What a great friend! Kate, the hologram, is an OLD woman, not a young one. Otherwise, she's the same. The Professor is the same, and not really in the story much at all, tbh. Tres is ALWAYS trying to kill Abel. ALWAYS because he automatically rewrites his "to terminate" list whenever any of the agents starts to stray from their orders by Caterina. He just cannot comprehend winging it at all, lol. It's great fun, actually... Ion is really the same, but is supposed to appear to be a bit older than in the anime. Radu is the same, and so is Dietrich. Leone is actually VERY perverted in a funny way in the novels. He once worked with Noelle on an assignment, and she said he was constantly trying to grab her boobs, lol! Also, that little vampire girl, Wendy, does not try to smex Abel in the novels. That was just a ridiculous lolicon shout-out in the anime... If anyone else wants to ask questions about the T.B. novels, just ask...

Truth is, I really have no interest in vampire stories. I'm actually pretty tired of the vampire trend out there. I don't get the fascination. However, I am giving Vampire Knight a chance. Basically because I like the English VAs and I need to learn how to draw bishies, and I think that's a good place to look for them. XD So unfortunately I can't really suggest anything, because I haven't seen much in that department.

No no, plumeria! I didn't mean to make you feel like that. I only responded with my input because I was the one who suggested you put it over here, and I didn't want to seem like I was ignoring you completely. If I said to post it here, I wanted to at least respond, even if I didn't have any usable input. That's all it was. I'm really sorry I made you feel like you were being a bother - totally not what I meant at all! ;D

XD This is a simple one: Trinity Blood! I'm still just waiting for the release date.....if there's going to be a release.....of the 13th volume. Anyone know when (and if) it's going to be released?

At the end of vol. 12 it says: To Be Continued as it always does and vol. 12 was released all the way back towards the beginning of the year.

Yeah. At the end of vol. 12 it says: To Be Continued as it always does and vol. 12 was released all the way back towards the beginning of the year. Since the manga is published by TokyoPop, it'll likely either be very delayed, or the entire series was dropped. Those guys drop their titles like a man-whore drops trow... I'm only relieved that they didn't drop the Trinity Blood novels! Hallelujah...

No seriously....vol. 12 leaves off on a cliff hanger I believe....Yeah last major thing is Esther falling from the Iron Maiden.

Oh,dyzzi honey,you never make me feel like a bother and and I'm very thankful you suggested I post this here.I'm glad because everyone's been kind enough to respond where when I posted it on FaceBook,it was pretty much ignored.I just meant that I'd like to come up with a new poll and it could be something that you like too.That's all.
