MangaWatching and reading VK has spoilt me completely. Sigh. I can't seen to read manga or watch anime without noticing how much better and clearer and more complexed the VK drawings are. Of course RK is pretty close, but Bleach looks totally primitive. Compared to VK everything looks like drawings styles from Doraemon.
Watched three episodes of Speed Grapher. Don't know if I'll go on with it. Frankly it is slightly disturbing - not that that would stop me - but the whole anti-capitalist, anti-hedonistic pleasures message is just so
IN YOUR FACE.
That being said, the best part was when the evil guy told the little boy that lives can be bought, and that he should grow up and make heaps of money so he might someday buy his life to avenge his father.
Hmm... if memory serves, didn't something similar happen in the beginning of Kill Bill? If it didn't, I have no idea how my mind drew that link.
Anyway, predictions for VK:
I wonder if Zero will end up accepting the position of Association leader. I don't think he'd want to. He wants to kill vampires freely and without restraint. He won't want to be bogged down in politics. He already said he won't kill Kaname at the moment. Yuuki will never forget him, I'm surprised she's writing to Yori and not to Zero. But Yori would see Zero in school... hmm.
Yuuki will never use Kaname's name ever... unless she's forced to. I bet the next time she sees Zero the chapter will end right at that point. I bet she tries to be with him. Kaname will die in the end. Oh, and Yori's role will get bigger this season.
