What’s with all the demonic romance novels latley?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I am an avid romance reader and I’ve read my fair share. Recently at Hastings almost every single romance novel there has some sort of "monster" genre tied to it. Vampires, werewolves, witches…where does it stop? Why are authors shoving that stuff down societies throat? What happened to the good ol wholesome novels?
Don’t act insulted, I actually enjoy Twilight and the other books in the series.

Paranormal romance is hot stuff in the publishing idustry right now that is why you are finding it everywhere. Lots of people are buying it. An article here discusses this http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,21074436-5003424,00.html

Romance authors in particular, will write what the publishers are asking them for and paying them to write.

There are still "wholesome" romances out there, just check the back of the book to make sure you haven’t picked up a paranormal / supernatural romance imprint.

My suggestion – look for historical romance imprints.

What are some really good action and romance anime?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I need some really good action anime that have romance. Also, I don’t want the long ones. I would like a range between 12 to 26 episodes. Don’t suggest Zero no Tsukaima, Naruto, Full Metal Panic, Code Geass because I already watched these animes.

I’d recommend Scrapped Princess, it has 26 episodes and a lot of action. The main character is loved by one of the other characters and in love with another character at certain points of the series, though its not really about romantic love but more about the sibling love between Pacifica Shannon and Raquel.
DN Angel is a very cute anime, heavy on the romance and does have action. It’s less blood and gore than say blood plus and claymore. I think it was about 26 episodes too but not sure.
Also Pretear! That only had 13 eps I think, I like to watch the long ones (50 +) eps so I think that was the shortest anime I ever watched.
There was a lot of romance in Pretear between her and her male fighting companion people (I forgot their official name, knights of some kind?) and also a lot of action. Also, less blood and gore, more magical fighting action.
There’s Vampire Knight, a super shoujo anime with a lot of romance and a little action, not a lot of blood and gore that I’ve seen, apart from scenes where the vampires are drinking blood. There are 2 seasons with about 13 eps per season.
Also Claymore, a violent show about fighting youma (demons) there is a romantic relationship that develops between the two leads and its 26 episodes I believe. This one has a lot of sword slashing blood and gore type action.
Blood Plus has the perfect blend of romance and action, also more for the mature set. There is a VERY romantic relationship between the two leads, a love triangle that develops later on, and more kissing than is common for a non-shoujo anime. That is 50 episodes long though.
Shakugan no Shana is another of the magical fighting anime for the younger set, and it has a lot of romance as well. I think it has 2 seasons with 24 eps or so per season?
There’s Inuyasha too of course, a show about a girl and a dog demon fighting youma, it has the main romantic plot of Kagome X Inuyasha X Kikyo and the side plot of Miroku X Sango but thats pretty long too…. 150 eps or more
