off topic
Spoiler for dunno why it is a spoiler, but the previous reply was a spoiler as well so there:
Yay for on topic: Is anyone else upset at the story putting up Cromwell as one of the potential villians of the story? He was a brillian revolutionary, he only temporally destroyed England's monarchy system as a side act Last edited by Proto; 2006-08-28 at 00:35. |

ひさしぶり Protoさん About the names yamaguchi-sensei has chosen for his characters: Honestly I think he just picks them nearly at random for the way they sound and the style of the character that they belong to. I dont think there is any deeper meaning to it than that. (no metaphors, no political statements, nothing.) For me, thats the reason I refuse to "untranslate" the names. In english, they bring in too much unwanted nuance and connotation that I think is not a part of the story. So for me, Cromwell will be クロムウェル. about クロムウェル: Spoiler:

I do agree that the characters and events that occured in Zero no Tsukaima have no relationships to any real-life individuals or events whatsoever. However, it's quite obvious that many characters and events in the story were inspired from real-life examples. Cromwell being one of them (Oliver Cromwell), as is Henrietta's advisor, Cardinal Mazarini (Jules Mazarin), etc.. So wouldn't call them "random", as they are clearly chosen deliberately for their characters. As for translating the names or not, it's personal choice. I simply write them in English because it's easier for others here to understand. |

Anyway, despite being interesting, if anyone wants to continue this parallelism comparison I guess it should get its own thread. Otherwise Catgirls will come and purr at us or something |

looking forward to cromwell myself, afterall coming from an ancient roundhead (Republican) county, im very interested to to see how they bring this villian into play. Mind you whoever said cromwell was a brilliant revolutionary, is in error. He was a brilliant millitary commander, but not very good revolutionary. after all it all fell apart shortly after.....and monachy reinstated by the very people he profess to represent.
Well, thankfully all the rest of republicans had a big sulk and headed off to America.

OH GOD THIS EPISODE WAS GREAT.
Only one way to describe Loiuse's dere-dere mode in this episode: moeee! I think the main reason why Shana fell off towards the end was because it took itself too seriously, but it looks like Zero no Tsukaima won't make the same mistake. Which is good, since this series is just so much fun. I wouldn't want it to take itself seriously for a minute. Saito continues to impress me as well. His strength as a character is one of the reasons why both this series and himself are so appealing. It's actually quite believable that he has a plethora of girls who want him, which is (far too) rare in anime, since most harem leads are unappealing and sometimes even invisible. (Not that this is a harem... but you can see what I'm trying to say). Overall: most fun I've ever had in a series of this type. Fingers crossed it'll keep it up.

This episode was interesting and good for a few laughs, but it wasn't that great. I'm not complaining about how Louise became all lovey dovey though. Why did she bite Saito on the neck anway? That's some strange love right there.
Now a quick question, did the water spirit know all the previous Gundolf/Gandalf that came into that world? She said something that all the previous Gundolf/Gandalf were trustworthy and so he trusted Saito. I noticed how Derflinfer (saito's sword) said that "This is nostalgic." when they were talking to the spirit. Could his previous user be a Gundolf/Gandalf?

Dere Louise = The Internet [/4chan]
Tho I like Louise, her personality slowly starts to piss me off. I mean, she has some feeling for Saito, but she still pretends like she hasn`t... Plus she`s treating him like a dog... Bah, the worst thing is, Saito doesn`t even try to change that statement! If I was him... Oh, wait. This isn`t RL...

Louise bugs the hell out of me and Saito needs to hurry up and find a way back home and make Louise all sad as hell or something. I wonder how their power will develope later on in the sieres. Louise's magic is extremely strong, she just doesn't have the right motivation to make it work and I think Saito has more abilities yet to be learned. What do you guys think?
