I love this show.

Really, if Yuuko was an Onee-san to Niiya.....

And Kirie has a crush on a boy young enough to be her younger brother.

As if it's weird to like another student in your school? Once in middle/high school in Japan, there's only going to be a 2 year difference at most, give or take for time of year.

Yuuko has an excuse...he's the only guy in years that can not only see her real form but also touch her.

Kirie and Okonogi are only around 1 year older than Niiya (he should be turning 13 that year) so it is not that weird...

2 years is far from a major age gap. If it's 5 years plus then maybe there's some eyebrows lifting to be done.

And seriously? Young enough to be her 'younger brother'? That's a range from anywhere between 10 months to 10 years.

Thanks

I thought Yuuko was at least 1.80 and eventough ghosts supposedly have no weight, less than 60 kilos? no way, she would be a stick figure even at 1.70 The Kirie weight also reflects the typical japanese mindset >_< you can't look meaty AND have a doll weight :/

Don't worry about it. The person who made the statement probably has the imouto complex; onesan is not his type.

I finally had a chance to see Episode 5 tonight. I really enjoyed interaction between Kirie and Momoe and Anatomically Correct but Heartless Model guy. There were a lot of good moments between those three.

However, I was vexxed by Niiya's girlish behavior in this episode.

"Yuuko, don't press against me!" and "Where are you touching?" while his face looked like he was seeing something in the shower room of the local Y.M.C.A. FFS son, show a little backbone, will ya?

Normally I can look past this sort of behavior, but tonight, when watching this episode, it really ground my gears.

Although I found ep5 alright, I really wish the show would actually get to the supernatural mystery side instead of this commonplace fluff. =/

Cosmic Eagle · 2012-05-09, 03:13

The anatomical model following them everywhere is somehow utterly hilarious...

He's a 12 year old japanese kid. To start with their mindset is completely different than those in the west, they view physical contact differently than what we do on this side of the world. There have been plenty of times when parents rage in japan because of things like Sex Ed, how it is wrong...often we're talking about sex ed for middleschoolers. Doesn't help that Yuuko would normally considered a loose woman in RL from the way she acts.
Then we have the fact that he's 12, that weird age when you are aware of the opposite sex but still feel pretty uncomfortable about being near girls.

Niiya has a MUCH MUCH better excuse for his behaviour than those 16-25 year old MCs that act exactly like him or worst.

Marcus H. · 2012-05-09, 03:42

I'm pretty impressed that they managed to get this episode without any massive changes to it. Although one obvious change was that the Heartless Anatomy Model wasn't able to enjoy the festival in the manga.

Such a lucky bastard, that Anatomy Model guy, seeing Kirie while changing.

Coldlight · 2012-05-09, 05:32

Kirie finally gets her time in the limelight. Though it happened much, much earlier than I expected, I was waiting for this part. Thank goodness it wasn't cut from the anime. I'd prefer if she would actually grow out her hair. Long-haired Hime Cut hairstyle FTW.

She looks almost like the reincarnation of her grand aunt, except that Yuuko is still in the world as a ghost, and Kirie didn't inherit her relative's... other traits. She has her own charm to make up for it, though.

Spoiler for my thoughts as a fan of the source:

klare · 2012-05-09, 11:16

a cute eps, but i was expecting something else since the tention ending of eps 4, as some mentioned here it seems they skipped contents

Possibly, but not necessarily. I don't know exactly how things work in Japan, but in the US entertainment industry, the authors of source material being adapted for movies or TV are often told, "Take the money and run." That is to say, get away from the adaptation as quickly as you can, because you're just going to be upset by the way they change your work.

And rightly so, actually. I've written books and I've written for TV, and they are two completely different animals. On very rare occasions, you can be almost entirely faithful to the source material (John Huston's adaptation of The Maltese Falcon is a legendary example), but most of the time you can't. There are just too many differences in what you can or can't do with each medium.

ogon_bat · 2012-05-09, 16:02

^--Yeah, if the original creators were allowed to have total control of adaptations we would either see horrendous adaptations or no adaptations at all (since most studios cannot work under the guidance of control freaks that know nothing about TV/film).

Chaos2Frozen · 2012-05-09, 16:47

The original Authors are always allow to make creative inputs, but what this means varies from person to person- It might surprise you to know but some of them wouldn't mind new takes on their works and allow the Studio to switch things around.

You know, as long as you don't screw up the characters...

Yeah, because they would never do that *cough* tim burton *cough* batman *cough*

Excellent episode in so many ways, probably my favorite so far, especially the photo-album of Kirie making her first friend in the middle was a beautiful (and budget-saving) idea

So what? Skipping plot gives way for character development, and they are doing an excellent job in it.

This is already part of Volume 5, which means that they practically skipped the entirety of Volume 4. With that big of a skip, I think it's already useless to expect faithfulness along the lines of adaptation of the manga, rather than an adaptation based on the manga, which is what I think they're doing now. Here's to hoping they just reordered some of the skipped stories instead. Anyway, from this point on, I'm giving up on expecting a faithful adaptation and just try to enjoy the anime for what it is.
