(L) Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maou

[Dahak86]

Lily rulez in this show! Can you even imagine Dai Maou without lily? Impossible!

So, I approve of eikotron's new sig!

p.s. and now there's two of us spreading lily's love!

[KiNA]

The only thing dissappointing for me so far is that Junko and Keena should have swapped their names

It will be nice to say KiNA loves Keena .. but now, it had to be KiNA loves Junko. Oh well.. stupid author >.>

I said I like the name

I see you've changed your sig to a Lily one. Eiko is away for one episode and you're already cheating on her?

Hey! That wasn't my intention

It's partly because she's a target of one of my 4Koma's, and with her being pretty much non-existent in the series, I haven't really seen her other emotions like in the ED, so I figured pasting her into my sig would have me familiarize myself with her because, like, if her low appearance rate keeps up that image in my sig is probably the only time we'd see her that happy

Ok the other part is I feel bad for Lily, having just about as much screen time as Eiko yet being a part of the ED, she's really being left out of the harem race.

Wait a minute... are we the only 2 with Lily in our sigs? We're not even Lily fans

Or or or.... you change your mind and start loving Keena instead?

Yeah, I know, I know, it'd probably never work considering your seeming preference to tsunderes (AFAIK anyway), but couldn't hurt to try, no?

[KiNA]

Yea.. addicted to Tsundere type most of the time .. as long as they aint loli

Just pretend Keina is the tsundere

Oh well wouldn't that be funny, Soga Keina as the tsundere warrior and Hattori Junko as the happy-go-lucky rice lover

As long as they aint loli, lol...

By the way, can we all agree on something for a bit. I'm just about gone fishing as to how exactly do we spell Soga Keina's name. I pulled "Keina" from the manga, and I believe at some times the anime has been translated as such, Anime News Network lists her as "Kena", and I know a large number of viewers here and all over call her "Keena". Now, I'd prefer to translate it myself, unfortunately my phone browser says no to East Asian language support so that'll have to wait, but really, what do you guys think. Google doesn't exactly favor "Keina" over "Keena", so I've been thinking of changing my ident of her to the ANN version, but...

Darn it, Soga-chan! Just how many mysteries are you going to trouble me with

In Japanese, it's written けーな, which is "Ke + (dash to make the "e" long) + na." So it would be transliterated "Keena," but pronounced like "Keina" or "Kayna."

I like to spell it "Keena," to be closer to how it would be spelled in Japanese, but to help people pronounce it more accurately, "Keina" is probably better.

At least, that's how it seems to me.

[mangatron]

Ah I see, or maybe not, because the Japanese text right there looks like those Solid Snake boxes

I was thinking about why I stuck with "Keina" in spite of it all.... and I came to the grave conclusion in that it's probably because.... of Eiko.

... If i weren't convinced you were a goner before, i certainly am now. Still a lolitron though.


Personally "Keena" has stuck with me, as the most "simple" way to spell her name

[popsiclestick]

If the name is けーな, then it is supposed to be romanized as Keena. However, if you are aiming for English pronunciation, then its spelling should be Kehna. Keina is incorrect. That would make it phonetically Kay-Nah.

Forgive me for not coming from an english country, but then wouldn't that sound lik "Ke-na"? Because they obviously pronounce it like "Kay-nah" in the anime, so much so Ryuumaru (or was that Sub Desu) seems to think it's spelled "Keina".

Of course, for those that know how to pronounce "ei" in Japanese, "Keina" seems fine, as for translating the Japanese text it comes out as Keena. By the way I used Fujiko as an example.

I feel like I should stick to Keina, which is how I pronounce "ei", so this old habit will die hard

Well that is easy, four keys as opposed to my five

[Emerald Emblem]

Unfortunately, this anime isn't one of my 2 animes of the moment. What with Angel beats and K-ON!! Getting those 2 places, but I have a lily avatar in some places. :P

Since in most forums I can fit it in, I have my animes of the moment written and linked to the ANN page in my sig, I feel so people don't get confused I just have a set based on those 2 animes. Sad thing is I'd love to have made this a 3rd, but the title is a bit too long.

[KiNA]

As long as you guys not starting to use Kina .. this KiNA have no problem with how her name is spelled

Soga Kina! Oops, I typo'ed

(sorry I've been in a bad mood since 6AM and this thread is the only thing putting a smile on my face today)

Of course, if there's some Lily and Eiko in the upcoming ep I'm sure this tough day today will go away as a day I can stay away from

[Wrath88]

Everytime I check back, I have to start from 2 pages ago. This is one popular thread. Nice 4-koma btw. Lol, imagine if Peterhausen's drill attack is just something that couldn't go out the other way.

[Tabrhs]

I registered to this form just so I could discuss this series, which was a huge surprise to me.

I thought it would be mostly just slapstick comedy and the usual fan-service filled stuff that comes out which I usually don't like, but this series combines elements from other ones I like, namely Harry Potter and Code Geass with the Harem genre

So far I'm loving everything about it, the speed, the fact that Akuto isn't the usual scrub, Korone's trolling (funniest character imo along with Akuto himself), Keena's weirdness, and the rest of the cast is pretty good too.

Oh, I found something that could be Akuto's theme song, it's by a Hungarian Metal Band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyWVfaHAu8w

Is there an episode of Ichiban this week? Shouldn't there be spoilers up already of the latest episode?

If only he'd change that avatar. Need some that goes in circles and instead resets.

This week's broadcast should be ending in about three minutes from now.

Fortunately I don't have to limit myself to two, but if I did, they would be Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou and House of Five Leaves. Completely different from each other, but the two I enjoy most.
