About the animes Honey and Clover this are no so popular them maybe that is why there is no many fandom about it. I love Honey and Clover *O* is son good and wonderful. I would like to read Koi Kaze, I kinda love incestuous relationships between brother/sister xD. I would like to take a look DX. I want to see the FST sasusaku soon :D I'm getting a little anxious xD jeje I'm very happy that you liked the last result of it :D

I love Sould Eater :D, and I would like to see Nodame Cantabile too, what is about? :D

To the meme 2:
Kind. :D

Yay, vejibrachan! Honey and Clover FTW! ...Or, just for the less mainstream manga fans. It's so sad that not many people appreciate the beauty of it! :( I especially love MoritaxHagumi! Don't get me wrong - I like Takemoto too, but I feel Morita and Hagumi are just perfect together

Well, speaking of Bleach and why people like it--

I am a consummate fan of shonen-formula (and its umbrella formula, coming of age stories) and Bleach is very, very shonen-formula. The plot is pretty formula, though it pulls in some betrayal and intrigue (uhh, once you get to the plot anyways, it takes awhile, though in my book that is not always a weakness), but the reasons I love it are

[indira14]

Ahoy there! I suppose we have a huge disagreement here. I'm not really a fan of Kubo Tite's art style - it's far too... artificial, designed in a way that makes everything seem grander than it is. Some of the charcters are strethed (I mean, Ichigo is freakin' tall for a 15/16 year old, isn't he? And Zaraki's a practically a giant) so far! And Rukia is just a tiny midget, with a severe case of achondroplasia. She really needs some help from Unohana - her pituitary gland must have suffered some severe damage. Plus, those huge, sparkly anime eyes are jsut not my thing... (Rukia's eyes take up more than half her face most of the time!) Kubo's style is meant to make everything appear more dramatic, when in reality, there's no drama at all and the consequent events just drag on and on

I think I'm going to love Saikano to itty bitty bits! I just Love tragedy even though I suck at writing the damn genre myself. And if your words are any indication, then damn, I'd say the tragedy part was well done, right

[araine]

YES, the tragedy in Saikano was very well handled. I have not much else to say (that is not a spoiler) other than: <3333

[hungrytiger11]

yay! I liked your response to the icons. What AU high school Naruto fanfics would you recommend? I want to read some good ones. AUs can be fun

[indira14]

I'm not really well read - I just, idk, read everything that comes my way. There's just something fascinating about having another person's thoughts laid neatly before you... The books I mentioned aren't really appealing to a wide range of audience, actually - but I know you'll like them! You could try reading Red Azalea a bit - it has a distinctive style. And God of Small Things is written in a very... weird way (as in, it breaks a lot of laws of english grammar, but that's just stylizing, I suppose). It takes a bit to get used to - I read the book twice and ont the second read, everything was much clearer. I don't really know if there are any translated versions of Bengali books where you live. There should be, but you never know with Bengali publishers

When I read the manga Honey and Clover, I did it after the series was finished and in the course of a few days (I read quickly, especially manga). I think that might be part of the reason I found the lack of any change frustrating. I don't mind taking the time to get to know the characters, but I think the lack of resolution/growth for the characters was made a lot more obvious because I read it all at once like that. To be fair, life doesn't end perfectly neatly, but it still seemed odd. I've never seen the anime. To be honest I don't watch a lot of TV, even on the computer. The pacing is probably better there

[indira14]

Is it just me, or have I been getting late notifications lately? I'm quite irritated - I should have gottn you comment hours ago!

I never knew you didn't watch a lot of TV! That makes two if us then - I tend to rush through when I read manga as well. I just don't have the time to analyze each and every pixel of the characters' face as much aI want to! And I suppose that could be a reason why the lack of change would be frustrating... I mean, usually I just speed through shounen manga where everything is always changing! And well yes, I definitely feel the pacing in the anime is much better - the mellow, melancholy undertone of the manag goes better witht het music

I used to be indifferent to Suigetsu/Karin, but somehow they became one of the pairings I'm taking slight interest in))) Their dynamics is brilliant))
Btw I love the song that's your "current music" ever since I saw a Naruto fanvid to it))) It just somehow went so well with Naruto))

[indira14]

...Wow, this is totally creepy, but I feel like I'm talking t myself. Suigetsu/Karin... well, I didn't really like it at first. I was pretty indifferent to it as well because the thought of them together never entered my mind it's not like the manga was pushing for it either - they seemed to despise each other. It was only after the fight with Killer Bee that I became more interested in the pairing. And you're right - their dynamics are brilliant. I've never been one for that hate=love theory, but with Suigetsu and Karin, I can actually see it happening. They remind me of Sasuke and Naruto and the good old days...

This is just getting creepier by the minute, but I fell in love with the song because I watched a Naruto fanvid to it as well! The fanvid I watched (by kheartsettra) was featuring team seven and the song just went with it so well... we wouldn't happen to be talking about the same fanvid now, would we?
