Title: Kuragehime~~
Post by: fleur_fraise on November 29, 2010, 07:37:51 pm
I just started this show yesterday and I think I'm in love.

Kuragehime is the story of some female otaku who live together and avoid boys. The show is hilarious to me because of these girls- each one fits a "girl nerd" stereotype, and not the good ones hahaha.

Has anyone else been watching? The series is ongoing, so I want to catch up once I have time.

On a more serious note you kids shouldn't be watching this show. It's blatantly sexist and hiding under the shroud of being "Kawaii Uguu".
The only moral this show has is "Unless you are pretty and conform to society, no one will love you."
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: jaybug on November 29, 2010, 08:35:27 pm
I wouldn't say that boogie.Not as the moral of the series at any rate. I think what it's going to do, is show that while society demands they conform, that they can be different, and be happy. Not sure, as I've only watched the first two episodes. I have a problem watching others having anxiety attacks. lol

But I think it's a good show. But I do think it's either for otaku girl power, or understanding the otaku girl in your life. Something like that.

Well doesn't Panty & Stocking say that too? I thought this show was hilarious, not a thing to be taken seriously.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: tofutakeout on November 29, 2010, 09:16:07 pm
I don't take it seriously at all. I just think it's funny. Each character is just as crazy as the next.

It's a shojo, I usually don't like shojo. But it's different than others that I've watched, I think that's why I like it.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: fleur_fraise on November 29, 2010, 09:19:16 pm
After watching all my hardcore series (Higurashi, Umineko, Jigoku Shoujo) it's nice to watch silly things like Kuragehime.

I've only seen the first episode but I just about died laughing when the chick pulled out her doll and was putting that fabric on it lolol.

But... I thought it was you who made the recommendation that got me to start watching it?  ???

Did one of the more recent episodes change your mind?

Post by: Fachion-pari on November 30, 2010, 04:41:54 pm
I absolutely love Kuragehime. How could you keep this from me, Katie? You like it too?! I find this show amazing, and I'm already conflicted with who gets with who. D: Not to mention for Kumoricon 2011, I really want to cosplay Tsukimi's first make-over or her outfit from the 6th episode, haha;;
(And I can see why it might give off a negative vibe, but I think it's meant to be humorous and lighthearted. I mean, its a shojo, right? :])

And Kuranosuke makes a very pretty woman indeed, and asdjkl; the thought of someone cosplaying him makes me so happy! But it would be confusing to cosplay a guy, who is crossdressing as a girl, when you yourself are a girl? My head hurts just trying to think it all through!

Post by: Fachion-pari on November 30, 2010, 06:35:23 pm
@Tofu: Haha, you're right! I forgot about Ciel. And the nice thing is you don't have to bind for Kuranosuke! He wears fake breasts, doesn't he? xDD

@fachion
That he does, and pretty big ones so I don't have to do much there.

My only dilemma is choosing which outfit. I love his first one but I also love his french Lolita as well.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: fleur_fraise on November 30, 2010, 06:40:33 pm
Oh god a lolita one? I must see it.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~

It looks nothing like a lolita, honestly. He just calls it that. XD
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: fleur_fraise on November 30, 2010, 06:53:37 pm
Ahahaha I thought so.

When I first saw the show I kind of wanted to cosplay the main girl (oh god I forgot her name) but I don't like picking a cosplay the second I watch a new show.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: Fachion-pari on November 30, 2010, 06:56:04 pm
You mean Tsukimi? The one with the braids and glasses? :] (I am guilty of wanting to cosplay her the moment I saw her, sadly.)

Tsukimi really is adorable. Even when she's grungy. After her first make over, I had the vampire doll scene as my background for awhile. >3> because it was so silly.

Okay we gotta cosplay her now.
One of us should be pre-makeover and one should be makeover version.

I might cosplay him in his boy form, for fun. xD

Post by: Fachion-pari on November 30, 2010, 08:15:58 pm
Katie- You know I'll be either version. Who wouldn't want to be super comfy and count as a cosplay?
If we really cosplay Tsukimi, you can chose whichever version and I'll gladly be make-up less or beautified Tsukimi with you. : )

I kind of want to be the beautified version, but only if she has more cute outfits.

...And then I started watching episode 4, and Tsukimi has that beautiful princess kimono <33
I'd really love to do the beautified version, I've been playing with more over-the-top makeup and false lashes and all that lately.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: Fachion-pari on November 30, 2010, 11:17:32 pm
I was secretly hoping you wanted to be the prettied up version of Tsukimi, because man do I want to go out in the must comfy and casual outfit/costume there is. Plus I have a sweatshirt that matches, and can easily find the bottoms to match as well. :] Plus-plus! no make-up, woo! (Except for the obvious bit of concealer, haha!)

Post by: nyahaha on December 01, 2010, 05:47:57 pm

Yeah I've seen them all. I'm just waiting on seven. It's coming soon, though sadly the series is only 11 episodes long.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: ~boogiepop~ on December 02, 2010, 03:04:47 pm
Oh pfft. Late after the fact but since other people here responded to what crap I was spewing I was totally lying. We have Kuragehime parties at my house every Thursday, hahahahahaha.

Oh that's today. Yay Kuragehime party.

It's tied with Arakawa for best anime this season in my book. I'm glad there's a lot of love for this series, but alas, hardly any for Arakawa.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: Fachion-pari on December 02, 2010, 04:31:57 pm
Ok, after episode 7, I have to cosplay Tsukimi. It's offical. And why can't this be a long anime? It feels so weird that it's only 11 episodes!

Josh, Olivia, and I squealed like women.

Except that's not cool for Josh.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: fleur_fraise on December 02, 2010, 09:38:38 pm
Is it really cool for Olivia?

Also. I usually don't bother "shipping" characters at all and I find it dumb, but goddamn am I caught between Tsukimi's two guys. I honestly don't know which pairing I like better haha
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: ~boogiepop~ on December 02, 2010, 09:43:40 pm
Kuronoske for me and Josh.

Shu for Olivia.

And it's cool because Olivia is still a lady. Oh and you haven't seen her get all stupid and girly when she's with Leena yet have you, hahaha. It's amusing.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: fleur_fraise on December 02, 2010, 09:45:57 pm
Ffffff I can't decide, they're both too cute ;~;
Although the OP makes me think maybe that office skank ends up with Kuronosuke? I think I'd be okay with that.

I saw them at your party but I think they had both been drinking. So idk lolol.

And Mayaya just had to interrupt huh? xP

Just finished episode 8. Oh my god I love It <3

I think I'm in love with Kuranosuke's older brother, seriously. He's just so adorable in his own way.
I'm also concerned because characters like him hardly ever get the girl in anime/manga and I'm hoping for the best for him because I want him to find happiness. Seriously, his life is kind of crappy.

It's blatantly sexist and hiding under the shroud of being "Kawaii Uguu".

Isn't that like...half of Japanese television anyway?

Yeah the ending made me really mad that I have to wait a whole week to see what happens.

One thing I didn't understand is though was why Inari (the landshark lady) freaked out about how Shuu was a virgin? (maybe I'm not old enough to know ?)
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: tofutakeout on December 16, 2010, 09:08:41 pm
Maybe it was the fact that he's in his 30's? That and she's a very sexually experienced woman and she probably see's them as not being good enough for her.
Title: Re: Kuragehime~~
Post by: ~boogiepop~ on December 16, 2010, 10:30:24 pm
I think it was because its more likely that the jig might get up, somehow. I dunno that's just how I took it. Even though she has the picture it will probably cause problems in the future if people start question stuff because he hasn't slept with anyone before.

Also Tsukimi inspired me to get drunk, whoooooooooo

As much as I 'd love to see a second season, I wonder if maybe they made the right decision. This way they more-or-less told us how things would turn out, but they didn't break anyone's heart by making it definite.

Oh, screw that. Yeah. I want to see more. (^_^)
