I talked about that in my roleplay blog but since that's for my followers only, I'll say this here as well... I am very disappointed at the akuhigu scene. I know we are all freaking out about the bite but... HEAR ME OUT OKAY.
Seriously... She's been in love with this man for who knows how long. She spent TWO DAYS thinking he was DEAD. She had to PREPARE HIS FUNERAL. She probably had to keep her feelings to herself in front of the others even if she was devastated. It made SO MUCH SENSE that when she saw him, she would run and hug him. The scene in the manga was so beautiful and full of emotion. She's happy, she's crying, she wants to tell him she loves him because she can't handle the thought of going through that again without having the chance to tell him. AND THEY GAVE US THAT BLAND VERSION OF THE SCENE? Where is my emotionally charged hug? Where is she running to hug him. Where is she starting to confess to him but getting caught off guard when he turns because it's just too much for her? I am pissed, I will not forgive them for this. They've done akuhigu DIRTY (and I'm not even talking about how they've done our boy aku dirty as well because everyone's been talking about this as well).
I have... mixed feelings okay.
Very sensual, almost erotic, he's holding her on the curve of her back, she's hugging him back, she leaning. I love it, it's very beautiful.
HOWEVER. It's very... not what it was supposed to be. She was very scared (as she should be) in the manga. So, on the one hand I like it because I'm a shipper whore with a vampire kink lol. On the other, it's wrong... Also, they've cut something that was CANON AND BEAUTIFUL AND EMOTIONAL and we're settling for something that isn't even canon (or make sense) just because it's beautiful and sensual? C'mon, guys.
and you haters can fuck off, I'm not out there bothering you personally or in your ship tags to talk shit about YOUR ship (despite the fact that you do that to us). hate will be promptly blocked.
