Fun Anime comic!!!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Animes : One Thread

Okay, I was lurking around the internet, trying to find some good web pages about one of my favorite anime films, Poltergeist Report, when I stumbled onto this!!! It is a japanese comic, probably scanned from a Magna book and then altered with a paint program so that we english speakers can understand it. Too cute! It centers around the 'everyday' lives of two of the characters from the movie, Kurama and Hiei. Oh, other characters pop up now and again, but it focuses on those two.

Some things you'll need to know: If you haven't seen the movie, you need to know a few things. First, Hiei has three eyes. Most of the time you won't see the third one on his forehead, he tends to cover it with a headband, but it is there. Also, Kurama has two different forms. He can be either human Kurama, a gentle, kind, somewhat short human being with red hair and green eyes, or Kitsune Youku Kurama, a silver fox demon with fox ears and a tail, silver hair, and yellow eyes. Also, his Youku form tends to be about a foot or three taller than his human form, and the Youku is somewhat obsessed with sex. *shrug* Okay, best way I can illustrate the differences is to stick a few pics up here. Hang on...

Kurama the Human Being...

and Kurama the Youku.

And so he doesn't feel left out, here's Hiei. Hiei and Kurama live together as roommates... it gets pretty funny after awhile.

Oh, and one more thing... Japanese comics are read from right to left, and they get confusing at times if you try to read them left to right, as we Westerners tend to do. Keep that in mind, though, and you should be okay.

Arright, 'nuff talkin' about it, let's go READ the darn thing!!! Read it now!!!! (oh, BTW, at the end of the story, just click on the link that'll take you to the sequel. It's worth it. Just plow through each story... they're very well done and it gets funnier and funnier!!!)

I read all of Hiei's Revenge, and one other story (I think it was called "River of Memories"?). Yeah, those were funny, but also disturbing. The last time I saw misogynistic themes combined with ambiguous sexuality like that was in the movie "Liquid Sky", and I've never seen it in a manga. One thing's for sure, it ain't Ranma 1/2.

Of cource it's not Ranma 1/2! You know why? Because it's Poltregiest Report!

*Nobody laughs*

Hmm, I wonder which side Hiei really swings on. He doesn't like being Kurama's b*tch most of the time, but does seem to be attracted to him, in human form at least. I suppose we'll never know (which is probably the whole point).

I was readin 'King of Party' (or something like that) and youko kurama was singing. I noticed that u didn't know where that was from. I tried sendin a email but it seems the email is inactive. The song he was singin was 'toshi shita no otokonoko' or 'younger boy'. It is a REALLY old song sung by a group called 'Candies' I hope, this helped a little W-san^^ dewa~
