Does anyone know if the manga was ever licensed in North America?

For those in the western world, key word here is "Cutie Honey" creator.

Early in the episode there was a TV running in the background playing an opening song. It seemed very familiar to me. Anybody know what song that was or what show it was the opening for?

Why is Yuki Onna is these type of Youkai series always so awesome?

I think the song that was playing was Furimukanaide. I don't know much about it, other than it seems to be a pretty old Japanese song. Of note, however, that version isn't/doesn't seem to be the same used in the show. But it was all I could find!

EDIT: Apparently there is another track with that name that was in Evangelion? It doesn't really seem to be the same one, though. The one up there is performed by "Honey Knights" (?) while the Evangelion one is supposedly a cover of "Furimukanaide" by "The Peanuts".

Thanks, I think I figured it out now that I was confusing it with Scarlet Scarf.

Although now that I think about it, it might have been used in Maison Ikkoku in a similar fashion (ie the TV was playing in the background with this song).

This is a very fun show. I agree with what someone said earlier about how it has that classic 70s/80s anime feel to it while still being modern and flashy. I did some research and looked at a little bit of the past versions of it, and I can say that this remake does Nagai's original justice in capturing the same kind of overall tone.

And strangely, I really like the OP and ED. I dunno why, lol.

I am so in love with this show already.

I'm late to the game here, but I really loved the first episode. I didn't know much about the property - all it was to me was some kind of first cousin to "GeGeGe no Kitaro". But this is really creative and clever stuff. There's some really edgy comedy that belies the seemingly childish material. I also appreciate the obvious love & care the staff have put into updating the material. It looks fantastic, the music is great, and the timing of the comedy is spot-on.

Brains Base doesn't get the credit they deserve. They do a lot of good stuff, and in a lot of different genres. I agree that this is the second best premiere of the season after Hanasaku Iroha so far.

I love Go Nagai's stuff. Bring on the tentacles. Second episode wasn't nearly as manic as the first, but still enjoyable.

o.0. What do you mean it wasn't nearly as manic as the first? It was way more chaotic imho.

Guardian Enzo · 2011-04-15, 20:56

Anyone know if the '73 series had all this stuff - tentacles, "My dick broke off!", etc? Whatever, I'm loving this remake. Some of the best pure insanity since "Hare Guu". Naturally, King Enma had to be played by Norio Wakomoto - it couldn't possibly have been anyone else.

Kakkou · 2011-04-16, 08:59

I love how they altered the ED to have Yukiko naked with some snake and tentacle censorship rofl. Wakamoto being in this show and voicing someone was odd as Enma's uncle made this show even better than it already is.

Blue-kun · 2011-04-16, 09:40

I didn't really like episode 2 as much as 1, but that's mainly because I didn't enjoy the action nearly as much and there was no awesome oldschool tune montage, like the Furimukanaide one! On the other hand, I guess having as many of these Yukihime moments more than makes up for it. Enma/Yuki antics are still so much fun to watch! Poor Yuki needs to stop going au naturale!

Oh, and I can't forget Great King Enma voiced by Norio Wakamoto, of course. I cracked up when he handled the tape to Enma and the others. Best joke in this episode for me, hahaha.

Anyways, seems like episode 3 might bring our first real antagonist here? What with Chiko's mark and all. Also, wondering when we're going to find out a bit more about that witch like woman that pops up on the OP. The GESO GESO definitely had her silhouette on his explanation, so I guess she must be related to the whole incident with the demons showing up!

All in all, though, another solid and extremely fun outing from this series. Go Nagai!
