Wow, I can't begin to describe to you the love I have for Pet Shop Of Horrors. I just finished up this bizarre little series, and wow. Count D is probably one of the best characters ever. He's pretty much an even nastier version of the Count of Monte Cristo. This series had it's flaws. At times the story telling was clunky and the ending fell apart, but Count D and Orcot and their interactions together made the series. I've never seen two characters grow so much from each other. At the end of the series, they would seem to be the same and yet they have changed and the change is so subtle but so vast, it's amazing. Even the timeless D seems to have changed. After all, I think he felt genuinely for Orcot and Chris.   D is so complicated and nuanced.  He wears so many faces and yet each is so very much him. He puts on masks and illusions and discards them so readily, it is hard to tell where D begins and the illusion ends.  I think about him often and wonder what he'd doing and thinking. He's a great example of characterization and I'm really, really surprised at the depth and scope of this series, which on the surface would have appeared to be an episodic stream of morality tales. Except that the morality of Count D is different from the morality we learn in Bible school, it's older and far less concerend with mercy than it is with justice.  I really, really struggled with Count D. I wanted him to like humans so badly and I almost cried at the end when he launched Orcot out of his life. And I'm scared of D. And haunted by him. Great series, really sad I didn't pick it up sooner. 


I think I need a D icon. One that says something Like "I'm here to give all that you desire." *hint, hint*
