Nunnally is magical?... Meh, must be the loli. Now excuse me as I go Fanboy.
I just finished rewatching all of S1 not too long ago. And I have to say... Kallen. Is. Win. While yes, she was quite captivating during the first few episodes. While she did become a Zero fangirl, she was still great, imho. Guren skyrocketed that already orbital awesomeness. She gone and passed Jupiter. aka, godlevel. Now all I have to do is get R2, and i'm set >:] Kallen: +++Severe Almighty damage to all enemies. ++Chance of causing charm. xP |

Okay, this is a innocent error, but...
There're a lot of doubts about the correct Kallen's surname. Kozuki or Kouzuki? I read "kouzuki" in the wikipedia, but more bandai gadget call her "kozuki", to understand what is the correct surname isn't easy. Just a additional "U" not seems so heavy, but in japan ideogram translation, that change more about name's meaning. I used Kozuki like real surname and Kouzuki for the second identity, but if the correct form is tha other one, I must fix something... |

Kōzuki is traditional or revised Hepburn I guess and the ō tells us that it's a long vowel.
In kana spelling however, ō --> ou (or oo depending on the kana) and ū --> uu. I would personally go with Kouzuki as this method is the one that most accurately represents the way that the vowels are written in kana and this is how text is entered into a Japanese word processor using a keyboard with Roman characters. Kōzuki and Kouzuki are the same, the only difference is that the first one is written using Hepburn and the other is written using "kana spelling". Kozuki on the other hand would be a different name. I don't think I've seen that spelling in anything official, but I might be very wrong here, feel free to point it out if I am. I guess an explanation as to why the Kozuki spelling surfaced could be that someone wanted to write her name on a picture or whatever and used the Hepburn version for reference but picked a font that didn't include "ō", thus ending up with a regular "o" instead. I don't know, that's just a random guess.

Tell me the etymology of Kallen's name, then? I think it would be cool to find out.
Although I already know what Karen means, it probably wouldn't hurt to tell. Kouzuki/Kozuki being a problem for me. Kozuki is probably hepburned, though I prefer the original japanese meaning. |

Amazing picture you found there, Blade. Kudos.
@yvj: That is rhetorical. It's sexy because it's about Kallen. If it's a cult about Kallen, then it's obviously, by every logical outcome, a sect of sexiness. xD awesome dude. Especially the picture. Guren is a nice touch. Lol, Nobodyman... that's pretty sad if you need a sarcasm detector. Atleast we know who you are now. :3 |

Excellent to hear, Bonzo. I'm looking forward to it. I doubt my anniversary plan got through, Lolipopo probably thought of something better.... xD probably. More inferiority complex about my Kalulu fandom...
@Nobodyman: ;3 not picking on, teasing. Picking on is more akin to bullying, while teasing is a motif in which denotes one action that seemed eccentric or otherwise social something something and decided to point it out via playfulness or imitate the situation as seen. x3 rawr Yes, the eye roll thing though is considered sarcastic.... >:3 can't wait for the artwork... though maybe you should bring this somewhere else, Bonzo? It may be about Kallen, but R2Remake seems like the best place. Not to be rude or mean, just trying to be pacifistic so you aren't chastised... :'( |
