Hrm, except thats not really a female expression. At least Ive never heard it

... the context is wrong. 'Tap' would generally be used to mean taking money from or otherwise extort something from someone (as in tapping an oil source or so). So, it kind of comes across as her saying that she'd take him for everything he's got (that might be the case of course, not all girls are nice

).

We know what she probably meant though, so I guess it's all good in the end

I have to agree.

It's not really a female expression. I believe its urban origination comes from the expression "tap a keg" (keg of beer) ... thusly, it's a very phallic expression. "I'd tap that..." is to say you'd "insert (thrust) something into something" … I often hear men say "I’d tap that ***." in meetings I sometimes attend (against my will).

I do think it was a bit of pop culture latitude taken by the translator and it’s out of place (gender specific). Unless a girl here can honestly say they use "I’d tap that" when eyeing someone they desire...which is possible because in its most liberal interpretation, "tap" can be a generic genderless "I'd like to have sex with _________" colloquialism.

Mmm... that's certainly another interpretation. I'd agree that either way it's not really a suitable expression for that girl to be saying though.

NoSanninWa · 2005-12-22, 14:21

Yeah, bad choice of colloqialism. We can all agree with that. Somebody stone their editor.

Now please let it rest and give them credit for at least trying. After all... they are doing this as volunteer labor in the faint hope that they might possibly make someone happy with their fansub. If you don't like it, then don't download it. Blah, blah, blah...

Radiosity · 2005-12-22, 14:29

/me throws a stone at the editor, but gently.

Anyway, I'm sticking with afk, thanks. That's about the only thing I've actually found to crit in any way, otherwise it's spot on and I'm enjoying their subs

Hehe, have you ever heard of the "uncanny valley"?

Things that are almost but not quite perfect inevitably get the most complaints.

So take it as high praise

Rofl episode 8.....making this series all the more enjoyable

Spoiler for episode 8:

I'd like to note some important things, first, I'd say it's official now that Maki likes Winner, and also, we get to see Karin more aware of the depression aura's. Maki also seems to appropriate the Kenta x Karin relationship, I'd say so that she can get Winner lol.

Also, 8 episodes already and I cannot get enough of Karin, my gosh she's just TOOO FREEEKIN KAWAIII ROFL

the voice....I tell you the voice is ringing in my ears 24/7, even when I sleep lol....

So while I'd like to note the important parts, I'm no spoilerific person so on to the comedious nosebleeds

This ep is just too hilarious, I mean, hey we see Winner being a Vamp hunter and all, and yet he couldn't detect Karin's dad or her brother, so at school, I thought it couldn't get any more hilarious, Karin gets the blood transfusion feeling and that sparks Winner to find the Vamp responsible. He get's the help of some students, much to the outrage of the Teacher, but it's not her time to get upset now, so lay some traps to catch the Vamp. Now, as cute as Karin get's, as cute as she gets clumsy as well

she plays on a string that activates such an old fashinable alarm system, that gets Team Winner to investigate. Run, Usui, run!

don't forget Karin

Now enter the more hilarious side of this ep: there are traps, sepcifically aimed to deter Vampires. Of course, as previously seen in a previous episode, Karin is un-fased by cross's, Garlic and water

But Usui seems quite the opposite. Lol I like the 3 teacher squad, rofl....and the scene in the artroom was crazy, using the statues to definate Usui and Karin

that also sparks Kenta with the idea of using red paint to trick Team Winner lol....so after setting the paint trap Karin accidentaly activates that same old fashioned alarm, this time with the teacher present. Now I've got to get her name, she looks pretty...lol...by the way, I forgot to note Winner with glasses is hilarious, and to think it was the sight of blood, not it's existance....anyways, Usui and Karin hide out in a locker, and of course, the tight space has Karin get that blood transfusion feeling again lol and glorifying Usui with it. But, the noise gets the attention of Team Winner, and Usui runs out of the locker with Karin in hand. Now the teacher seems to be the only one to know the paint trick, of course letting Winner know of the consequences lol....After scene further fuels the Maki x Winner relationship. On my blog, I discuss some important things I noted in this episode, feel free to check it out here.

Arrr, I wish they show next ep sequences for the previews, just voice only makes me wanna see what next ep is, not just think about it

ZippyDSM · 2005-12-23, 01:22

Sorry sorry AKF is doign a great job overall its jsut soemtimes pop culture can scar me so 0-o *L* I dont mind so much when its in that kinda setting but..eh....my brain is fried >< *L*

Cyz · 2005-12-23, 21:33

I wonder what would happen to Karin and Kenta in the near future.

Lambda · 2005-12-24, 09:06

Whenever Winner is on screen, I think of Excel Saga. Though with Excel Saga being one of my favourite anime comedies, that isn't exactly a problem.

Kaoru Chujo · 2005-12-24, 13:49

There's a "Yahagi Sayuri support thread" on 2ch. One post linked to an interview done just as she was beginning recording on Karin.

Here is a rough translation:

You're just about to start recording Karin. How do you feel?

Yahagi Sayuri (YS): Umm, half happy and half nervous.

What were your feelings when you were given the role?

YS: “No way!!!” (laughs) I thought they were kidding me. Then during a call from the agency explaining things, I began to realize: “Oh, it's really true.” At first, it didn't feel real at all.

Tell us about the character Karin.

YS: Karin is a “blood-giving vampire,” but she's also a shy ordinary girl. Her emotions really came out in the original manga when I read it. You honestly just wanted to help her because she seemed so cute and vulnerable.

Do you have anything in common with Karin?

YS: Karin is clumsy, and I'm also a bit clumsy....(laughs) Sometimes I fall over for no reason at all. And in general I'm a pretty happy person.

And are there ways in which you're definitely not like her?

YH: Well, I don't bite people (laughs)! And I've noticed how nice Karin is to people. That isn't so much something where I'm not like her as something in her that I'd like to imitate.

Karin is your debut role. What made you want to be a voice actress?

YH: Because of my high voice, in elementary school my friends called me “Burikko” (kiddy-girl, child-like woman). It was really mortifying. But I thought: “Someday I'll get back at you.” It was in my second year of middle school (grade 8) that I first learned there was such a job as “voice actress” and wondered if I might be able to make use of the voice I had such a complex about. That challenge was my impetus to becoming a voice actress. Up until then, because I liked drawing, I wanted to be a mangaka.

A mangaka! So you liked manga and anime even then?

YH: I especially loved Sailor Moon. We used to play Sailor Moon all the time. I had no idea at all that one day I would become a voice actress myself (laughs).

What kind of voice actress do you want to become?

YH: I want to be someone who never betrays the people who watch something I do, a voice actress about whom they can say: “Yahagi Sayuri is really good in this role.”

Finally, do you have anything you want to say to people?

YH: I'm going to do my utmost to get closer and closer to Karin's feelings. I want to do everything I can to have Karin and I grow up together. Please give your support to “Karin”, everyone.

Tiamat · 2005-12-24, 19:21

Okay so the new bishie hotties

name is Weiner or Winner? Haven't gotten the seventh ep yet. But ooh new bishie to add to my list along with Ren, lol.

misakichii · 2005-12-25, 15:05

i just watched episode 8 last night before watching the last episode of hyd. well things are getting pretty hot in karin. i really thought that this time karin will finally bite usui. but that didn't happen. in episode 8 where karin and usui hid in the locker, it really made me thought that karin will finally bit usui. but sadly that didn't happen. but something else happened. something really hot happened to them. that is when they were in the locker karin...usui... they... they...ahhhh...well you'll just have to find that out for yourself. i don't want to ruin it for you. not anymore than i alreadly have.

PsychItsMike · 2005-12-25, 19:03

Yea i thought karin was gonna bit usui too and was hoping for it so he'd be happy for once. This seems to be more of a comedy than anything else which i really dont mind

cant wait till ep 9!

Guido · 2005-12-27, 23:38

Winner-kun rich boy, poshy, Engrish accent gets more remarked as episode passes by; call it his trademark.

Spoiler:

Still, I'm concerned about Anju's silent expression at the end of the episode which quite gave some uneasy feelings, by the way.

No Karin until the first week of January.

PsychItsMike · 2005-12-28, 00:16

Yea she was creepying me out at the end of the ep... a lot of anime wont come till the first/second week of Jan

Guido Snobby Gentleman Join Date: May 2004 Location: Monterrey, México Age: 43	Winner-kun rich boy, poshy, Engrish accent gets more remarked as episode passes by; call it his trademark. Spoiler: Hints for a future-would-be Maki X Winner relationship, though if Winner-kun successfully remembers her name. She took pity on him when Karin interrupted the duel and ran away with Usui in the previous episode, and gets smitten everytime that Winner said something encouraging in episode eight. Of course, the students wanted to get the inside scoop about Karin and Usui likely hanging together, that's why they acted to follow Winner farfetch'd story about the vampire in the school. Winner is the most bumbling, idiot for a vampire hunter. He couldn't detect the vampire's presence of both Ren and Henry, passing by right in front of Ren's nose and not feeling any weird vibes about Henry. By the way, if you ask why the cross did not burn Henry was because Karin explained that vampires are atheists, but like to play with the vampire hunter's mind that they are weak against them. Why vampires would want to do that, I don't know? Hidden in the closet was a classic, and I was witnessing how does Karin's increase of her blood makes her to act gradually on instinct, which in turn makes her to behave feral and possibly horny. Why fighting against instinct Karin-chan? You should had given in, and bite Usui when you had the chance to do so. Still, I'm concerned about Anju's silent expression at the end of the episode which quite gave some uneasy feelings, by the way. No Karin until the first week of January.
