06. Not sure if want.... I always though Gaston was the hotter one though.

07. Blame Nico Nico for that one, buddy.

11. Rockin' Heaven 7. LMAO. Seriously, the first arc in Bleach was the best one. I miss the "coolness" of the beginning. I would trade the whole SS and Mexico bullshit for an semi-episodic series like this in a heartbeat. Even it means to forsake my fave Bleach character, Hanatarou.

22. Tell me about it. I once catched myself signing it when I was on the train and got an odd look from a passer-by. Catchy-ass song is catchy and so much better than the Carmelldansen.

28. Dear god, I would fucking collapse on the floor before finishing a daily installment. Christ.

29. Agreed. It's okay to a bit passionate about your fandom but taking it too far always ruins the party.

30. LOL. Sometimes I think some people (mostly male fans) would like a certain character if they weren't a pretty boy. No, I'm certain about that.

36. People need to know how to tell their friends that they don't like a certain series, seriously. That said, I couldn't get past the SS arc either. Sorry, Tite, but Bleach went to shit when I started to fall asleep reading it.

40. Stupid sexy Trowa, amirite? God, I admit, I wanted to hit that back when I first watched GW. (And poor Wufei always get ignored. >: )

44. I understand the feeling. In some series, I don't feel like I need to slash them (yes, a slash fan can go through a series without slashing anyone). But I was surprised you listed SZS since it has Fujiyoshi in it (and I ship Jun x Nozomu like whut, I'm so sorry...).

46. I know it's unrelated but people need to tell me what in the fuck to make those brushes with the outline. Slowpoke, I know. I know. Also, related, I know the feeling. I like to get popular through my drawing but once in a while, I worry people would get disappointed of how I'm really like. Don't worry too much about it. Let your work do the talking and open doors.

51. Image (http://tinypic.com)

HxH DID had a English fanbase, let me tell you why most of it disappeared:

1) It's older. It's a fact, the older the title, the smaller the base. Useless it's really fucking popular (Bleach, Naruto), which are the exceptions. Hitman Reborn is a relatively new series compared to HxH that JUST got popular in SOME places this PAST YEAR. Hell, HxH was more popular than Reborn to be honest when it was an active fandom. You just hopped on the bandwagon late.
2) Togashi putting it in constant hiatus. Fuck, it had been OVER A YEAR since a chapter came out at one point. This also put the anime in limbo. Of course, most of the fans would've moved on at that point. Oooh, god, I'm not even touch the drastic drop of art quality.

Seriously, man. What is with people having to bash Reborn to pimp their series? Just because it's popular in LJ (and not really anywhere else in the English fandom)? It just make you a butthurt fan and Reborn's popularity has nothing to do with HxH's problems, it's not like people are bypassing HxH for Reborn. Popularity does not work that way.

55. This. I wish there were more dominant uke, submissive semes, and reversibles in general.

61. Or you can be just an attention whore? I don't flouce around my sex for attention nor care if it brings me any popularity or none.

68. & 69. These are repeats.

#44 OP

It's a very different feeling for me though, as I haven't ever really felt this anti-slash about a series before. I've always been very accepting of the fact that certain people are attracted to certain types of characters and pairings, no matter if there seems to be nothing holding that pairing together. Also, as I mentioned, I'm a fan of some pretty baseless pairings (I ship Grimmer/Tenma from Monster. ಠдಠ) so to actually say "No, you just can't ship that! It makes no sense!"... it's quite an eye-opener for me.

I'd shake my finger at Harumi for slightly "putting fuel to the fire", but I'm a sucker for fujoshi characters, so I can't be mad at her because I loves her. D:

Just dropping by to say I'm snagging that image for future purposes, if you don't mind. (Otherwise I'll just have to lift my lazy fingers and actually draw something. XD)
