| I think there is just the right balance of romance and action in VA. And you're right, VA is kind of a 'coming of age' tale starring Rose and her journey into adulthood and 'Guardian-hood'. But it's got IMO the right amount of romance thrown in. Don't get me wrong, I loved Twilight. And if it weren't for Twilight, I wouldn't have picked these up. However, Twilight is first and foremost a love story told against the backdrop of vampires. Everyone's different and will like an emphasis on different themes. And sometimes those preferences differ with mood. Sometimes you feel like romance, sometimes you feel like adventure/action. _________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |

| I agree Ballroomdancer. VA definitely has a balance and you can't say the romance side of it is what drives the story, makes it what it is. But that's not to say that the romance isn't essential to the storyline and finding out who Rose is. |

| Plus, V.A actually has more eye-candy, to add to the mix, than the Twilight world would ever be able to put together. |

Not to mention that there's actual Rhyme And Reason for Half-Vamps to be all over the place, instead of the apparent Free-For-All-That-Held-No-Credibility case that was within the twilight world.

| We better arm ourselves, for the morons among the fans might be everywhere, and nowhere, at once, and they may strike us down and kill us, at any time, for that matter.  _________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |

I could use a Sword for Decapitation, but now i am beginning to wish that we were at least as well-trained as the Ancient Spartans happened to be, at this point. _________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |

^ Yeah, lol. But if you got that from Twilightsucks.com, then just to let you know, some stories there just aren't true.  |
But most of the rest of them...the ones involving attempted murder...i'm sorry...i still have to come armed with weapons..  _________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |

Do we have to arm ourselves, if it turns out that the trolls would besiege this site, the way they're already doing on Gaia Online?_________________ Please come and join us in this site, as we could use a hand in growing, right away. http://hogwartsstudents.darkbb.com/forum.htmIs the Ultimate Coordinator, Kira Yamato, Still Alive?If he is alive, then could someone please tell him to come in, and kill the Volturi with Strike Freedom Gundam, please? |
