Nothing will get me to buy Suitengu as misunderstood/fallen angel. Also as the show progressed it got crazy. Apparently the goddess drops did nothing and the researchers from the tanker are taken care of.

This is a cheezy peice of crap. But still its like a car wreck you can't stop looking.

That's a typical Gonzo show. It goes , gets strong, then veers off course basically creating a different anime before wrapping up. I wonder if it is the style of the director.
Gantz, Burst Angel, Kiddy Grade, and Grapher all do this. I just happen to like all those shows but the 'pull the strange ending out of our behinds' is a bit odd.

I still want a music box that plays the Speed Grapher tune. (Memory of Music Box)

I would carry that, everywhere.

Hey i have a quesiton.watch out for spoiler

SPOILER****** Warning



























When Suitegen found his sister in iraq or w/e. why did he kill her? did that blood she swallow on his finger killed her?

[Forbin]

Well to put it bluntly,

She was a crack ho, and he couldn't stand her living as one.
He controls blood so he killed her with it.

This show has been one of my all time fave animes . I loved the Saiga character : D

[bbduece]

i just finish watching today and i have to say his series is really good, too bad its under the radar, it even took me a while to get to it, everything is so crazy but it works out well and romance is exceptional considering how chaotic some of the logic and situation is, cant believe we got a nice little sweet romance and how well done it is especially coming from this bloody anime about psychos with extreme perversion.......this show has climb up to my must-watch list ^^

i have to say pimping a girl ~20 years younger than you must feel like heaven

Well except for the fact that he was doing it for revenge on the family for trashing his sister.

That puts a damper on it.

i was refering to saiga 30+ years old and kagura 15 years old

[Forbin]

Ummm then mean what you say, PUMPING, not pimping..hehe

PUMPING - slang - to have relations with someone

pimping - slang - to offer the sexual relations of one person to another usually associated with some monetary benefit.

I watched Speed Grapher long time ago . If I remember correctly it was back in 05 Dec . TBlood had just gotten over and I needed agood series to watch . And I loved Speed Grapher so much I even became a fan of Duran Duran .

But seriously SaigaXKagura is the low point of the series . I dont even know why you find it exciting . I had more respect for Saiga when I felt he was looking out for Kagura out of concern rather than love

Fortunately, I liked it too.
I can still remember that last scene... Ah~, nostalgic.

figure of speech, they arent even having a sexual realationship, dont know about after the ending though ^^. Here in San Francisco we dont use "pumping - slang".

i dont know about you but i dont mind having a girl friend a few years younger than me so i like the concept.

The last scene was very beautiful. As i grew older i find that age becomes less of an issue. If i was saiga's age and the last scene happen to me where my young 20 year old lover embraces me, i would be a very happy man.

Lol you can't use the Figure of speech Pimping when talking about Saiga, He didn't pimp her, Suetango did.

That's all I was pointing out, you used the wrong word and the whole meaning changed.

[Zu Ra]

Ask me I would have been happier if Ginza hooked up with Saiga and I am not even a Ginza fan . Among lot many show I have seen Chouji Suitengu is the best antagonist I have ever come across

The Best Scene according to me would Saiga Saving Kagura from the Wedding Chapel on a chopper : D And the ost is very fitting

no he did pimp her since she is much younger

[Forbin]

May I ask who he pimped her TO?
From Wiki

A pimp finds and manages clients for prostitutes and engages them in prostitution

So who did Saiga give her to for this purpose?

Or did you mean that Saiga is a Pedo? That fits with what he wants to do with her.

[Forbin]

On the topic of SG,

1) Did they ever explain why she is blonde while wearing the goddess outfit?
2) Also, the secretary who kissed her near the end, did she get any powers?

[bbduece]

I am not refering saiga as pimp who manages hookers. I'm slanging it another way.

But suetango did pimp her in the literal sense.

Its more like saiga is exploiting her because she is much younger and since saiga is 15-20 years older than her, he should behave more accordingly but he doesnt and embraces her even at this age difference. It is somewhat of an xploit but not really. This is loose definition so dont take it too exact.

And Saiga isnt a pedophile, since he doesnt look at all young children in a sexual manner, he just likes her not because shes young but because of who she is as a person. Saiga is more of a loli-con. I doubt he will do anything to her until she reach 18 years of age but we all know they didnt reunite until she was 20 so it is all game after that.

Slang is an idiom, the usage will be different depending on where it is being used.

I dont know where you are from, but here in the san francisco bay area (nor-cal) we use it like this. Dont freak out if we use it differently - hence the word slang. Slang means the meaning is not set in stone, understand this concept!

When i was using the word "pimp", i was more or less glorifying saiga as a middle age man with a 20 year old girld friend. Now thats hot.

FYI when i said "hot" i didnt mean temperature wise incase you get confuse again.

Anyways i was using the word "pimp" in my neighborhood slang, and i was not using it in a literal sense. If you didnt get that, then there is nothing much i can say.

Continuing this is moot, if you dont like the way i use the word then you can ignore my post and please do. Making me conform to your way of "slang-ing" is stupid.
