   I'm actually a fan of comic relief... not just in stories that are   
   supposed to be funny, but also in serious stories to help even the   
   mood out and make it more readable/watchable... but so far 3x3 Eyes   
   has struck me as not quite as "serious" as Nuku Nuku somehow... there   
   are jokes in both... but somehow 3x3 Eyes seems more lighthearted and   
   less in-depth, which is weird, because the storyline actually got   
   complicated.

   That's a good question.  I didn't know what the deal was with the end   
   (or not) of this being out in English, if there even is a Japanese end   
   out now, so, that was one of the things I was counting on needing to   
   figure out before reading any further.  But if I can get some more   
   books cheap sometime, I might pick them up to read... but I probably   
   won't go out of my way to read all of the books available.

   I think that's usually what is done, so, probably... especially if DH   
   used to do that.  The Hellsing books I get are DH, and right-to-left,   
   but I don't know if I have any other DH books (either right-to-left or   
   left-to-right)...

   Thanks for that link.  Knowledge is power!  I wasn't thinking of the   
   fact that the statue has 3 Sanjiyan... that should've been the most   
   obvious reason for me to have thought of, but, for some reason, I   
   didn't.
