Well, I didn't say it wouldn't add anything. I said it wouldn't add much. I don't consider the loss of sexual tension between Hiro and Hime to be a big deal.

At least, with regards to the anime's setup. I don't know how it is in the manga, but, in the anime, considering the general lack of romance in Hiro's relationships with the females in his life, having him drink Hime's blood would do little to change the feel of the series.

May be you are rigth, but i'm not the tipe that likes the gore that much.

yes, there is abig lack of romance, and the use of blood to revive hiro will actually mean a bigger union between them.

this anime whould be better if there is more fight, powerful enemies, and a more warrior type hiro, and a kind of relationship.

i have never read the manga, but i would love to, more because iwould love to see another kind of hime and hiro drinking her blood as a vampire. I have never think that vampirism was a metaphor for sex, but thanks for the aclaration slice of life.

PS: last episode i see another try to make a romance in this anime but sawawa is to stupid to realiced.

That's not really why I have a problem with the blood vs blue flame thing. It causes confusion, because in the anime the flame and her blood do the same thing. In the manga, only royalty blood makes ppl semi-immortal.

For me, they tried to hard to censor something, and screwed up a major plot point while at it. In the anime, you still have the vampires seeking her blood. They sure aren't as hell seeking her blue flame. This has nothing to do with the losing of sexual tension between hime and hiro

Anh_Minh · 2007-09-05, 07:01

It's a fairly minor point. After all, vampires get things by sucking blood, as everyone knows.

While servants of the Royalty get things however the authors want. They're particular to the Kaibutsu Oujo anyway.

Spoiler for Preview for episode 23:

UPR · 2007-09-07, 16:34

Was there a ep yesterday because preview looked very interesting?

Goofus Maximus · 2007-09-07, 19:40

Hmmm. In the latest episode, I've revised my opinion about Reiri liking Hime. She just planted a seed of doubt in Hiro's mind.

How do you kill a temporarily immortal being? Just keep killing them till the time runs out. Hime certainly has quite the arsenal...

what do you mean by seed of doubt?

TigerII · 2007-09-07, 22:20

My dislike of Hime grew with 22. Although I figured out that Hiro means nothing to her, kinda sad to see he found that. Even sadder is that he said he will still follow her...I guess since she did bring him back, he owes his life, but still...

If you've read the manga, you will see that's not exactly true.

Spoiler for Meaning of Hime's dream in ep. 22:

TigerII · 2007-09-07, 22:48

Well I have not read it.

Nightbat® · 2007-09-07, 22:50

From what I read here about the manga (not that I want to know further details about the manga),
it seems Hiro and Hime are much more closer than in the anime.
In the anime it's everyone els interacting (Hiro and Riza seemingly good buddies) but Hime with
Flandre a seperate entity

I must say that the latest Ep shows some background on Hime and also further development of Hiro's
situation, which is a good thing

Me want more!

Isako · 2007-09-07, 23:21

Hime is closer to Hiro in the manga. I wasn't shocked at all by this episode. I think this eps came off odd for two reasons

1: EP22 was really suppose to come eariler in the series(Vol 2 of the Manga), when Hiro was still unsure about Hime's intentions.

2: The anime up to this point, has utterly failed to show the cruel side of hime. If you've been reading the manga, you will come out of this episode with no change of opinion on Hime. You will probably just see it as Hime just handling her business like I did, but at the same time you will know that she truly cares about Hiro.

TigerII · 2007-09-08, 00:23

Is the manga licensed in English and if so how many volumes(Japanese, and English).

Yeah, Del Ray plans to come out with Vol3 in march 08, but that's only an estimate. The site was very vague when I went there about an exact date for the next volume. For all I know, they could surpise us and make it come out on Christmas D:.

Anh_Minh I disagree with you all. Join Date: Dec 2005	Spoiler for ep 22: So, has Hiro really turned into a pad fetishist like his muscle nut "friend", or was it just some ploy to get Liza to let go? Also: - what would have happened if Hime had just nailed the werewolves to a wall, instead of repeatedly shooting them? - what happens to a royal warrior who's mashed to a fine paste?
