When I started joining fandoms I did it for the obvious
reasons, ship a pairing, but also for something else.
I understood that with Weiẞ Kreuz.
If you don’t know it, it’s an anime about two groups of
killers. Eight guys, four “good” and four “bad”. Very poorly summarized.
Anyway, in my opinion this anime sucks. The plot is
hilarious (and it doesn’t mean to be) and the graphic is not very good.
I used to make fun of this as I do with Hannibal, writing
about the weird things that happened in the episodes; but the difference was
that back then I was serious, in a way, because the problems were real, now my
humor is just out of love and I make fun of the show inventing things, not
because they are really there.
Well, all that changes if you start reading fanfictions
about Weiẞ Kreuz.
The characters are amazing. There are so many possibilities
because fans brought to light all those tiny things that in the anime were just
hints. The characters’ psychology has been delineated by fan writers. If you
don’t know what it is I suggest you to check it out. Even if the anime makes
you laugh, you will not be disappointed by the characters, they are great.
And here comes my idea about Hannibal.
Hannibal in the books is not a great character. Not at all.
It’s still better than the others around him, I’m
experiencing difficulties to find someone I really like among all of them, but
Hannibal is really not that charming.
So, it came Hopkins and gave him life. That was when
Hannibal Lecter really started to live.
And that wasn’t enough.
