now watching / now reading #5 - Satoshi Kon

[Hummelmann]

irgendwo auf jcafe24 hat es jemand zusammen gefasst, finde es aber jetzt nicht mehr. Ich kann mal die letzten paar auszüge posten die ich noch im Verlauf hab. Ist nicht die komplette volume 7 sondern nur die letzen paar Seiten. Die ersten Teile findest du hier: http://seanver.com/2010/11/13/“ore-n...lume-7-part-2/

Kyosuke returned to the living room. His mother was nowhere to be seen. As he stepped in, Mikagami gazed in bewilderment of the approaching Kyosuke. Before Kirino could finish asking what Kyosuke was doing, Kyosuke bowed before her and apologized. Kirino is caught off guard by this and tells him with voice shaking that it'll only trouble her more by doing this and to just leave. Kyosuke got up saying that before he left he had something to say. Kirino protested saying there was nothing to talk about. Kyosuke responds saying that unfortunately he did have something to talk about. "Yesterday, you asked me what I wanted you to do..." says Kyosuke. Kirino did not respond. "I said something along the lines of "you should decide", but I take that back" says Kyosuke. "Wh-what?" replies Kirino. "What I want you to do... is to not go out with guys.." says Kyosuke. He knew this wasn't something to say to his sister in front of her boyfriend, but he said it. "... why?" asks Kirino. "Why indeed, I don't know" says Kyosuke. "It's vexing maybe, like some strange guy is taking my sister away" replies Kyosuke. He tells Kirino that as her brother he wouldn't tell her that he wouldn't accept her having a boyfriend. He had to consider her feelings and he wouldn't like it either if the rolls were reversed. That’s why he said the things he did. Although he couldn't properly express himself, as if with something on her mind, Kirino listened.

"Whether you go out with anyone or not, It's up to you. As your brother, I have no excuse. Yesterday, I don't know why I got so angry, but because of that, I don't know how I can apologize for it. It would be easy to just say I'm sorry, but to apologize isn't something like that. So I thought I'd honestly tell you what I thought." says Kyosuke. "... late" murmurs Kirino. "What?" says Kyosuke. "too... late.." says Kirino. The room became quiet and an uncomfortable atmosphere set in. Kyosuke realized he had to properly speak with Mikagami. He asks Mikagami if loved Kirino. Mikagami replies saying that he really does and respects her while gently smiling. Kyosuke thought of all the reasons Mikagami would be right for her. Being rich, talented, sharing interests and even being someone she could brag about to her school friends. He should give his blessing --- "I am not giving Kirino to you" is what Kyosuke said. Without realizing he stood facing Mikagami speaking from the heart. "If you want to go out with her, you'll have to prove to me that you'll have to prove you can treasure her more than I do!(He says taisetsu ni shite, which I find hard to properly translate)" proclaims Kyosuke. The jealousy within him deepened. He knew it was ridiculous, but he went beyond the point of return. He really didn't know what he wanted to do, but he pointed Mikagami. "Unfortunately for you, I definitely treasure her more than you, that's why I will not hand her over!" states Kyosukue. "...If you do not approve, you will not hand over your sister?" asks Mikagami. "Yes! It doesn't matter how great a person you are... I worry about her, to the extent where it can't be helped. If that bothers you then alieve that worry from me!" declares Kyosuke.

When he had finally said it, he was relieved, but at the same time extremely embarrassed. He finally confessed his real thoughts. The thought of giving up his cute sister to some guy made him angry and lonely at the same time. "...You..." says Kirino. Kyosuke apologizes in to her in his mind for making the situation awkward for them and considers how it would not be uncommon for her to hate him for the rest of his life. He was prepared for that. The room was quiet. After several seconds, Kirino spoke first. "....like that...." said Kirino. "A plain guy like you.... flirting with the black one(referring to kuroneko) like that! Don't say things like that as you please!" yells Kirino as she slaps him hard. "A problem with it.... of course I would!" she says before throwing the cake Mikagami brought at Kyosuke. She began pounding at his chest. "You idiot! idiot!" she exclaims. She continued to hit him. Cups were knocked down and juice had spilled all over. The place was becoming a mess, but he did not think to stop her. "That time when you made such a disgusting face like that! Why now!? Why say all this?" said Kirino. The feelings came out like a muddy stream, but Kyosuke could not connect the meanings between them. "What are you talking? Manami and Kuroneko have nothing to do with this!?" exclaims Kyosuke. "They do!" responds Kirino as she loses her composure crying heavily. "It was a lie! Going out was a lie! We didn't even kiss....! It was all a lie!" says Kirino. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength confessing that. While Kyosuke was lost as to what was happening. It took several seconds for him to register to the meaning to his sister's words. "Isn't it great...Kirino" says Mikagami with his out of place gentle smile.

"what... do you mean?" asks Kyosuke. As if he didn't hear Kyosuke, Mikagami faces Kirino looking a little sad and offers her a handkerchief. "It looks like my job is done... right?" he says. "It... looks like it.." replies Kirino. Kyosuke faces Mikagami while completely confused. Mikagami reiterates that everyone was just a lie. Which shocks Kyosuke even further. "Wh...y?" asks Kyosuke. Kirino did not respond. "well... she wanted you to notice her" says Mikagami. "That's not it!" interjects Kirino. "Then why? asks Kyosuke. "that's... that's.." said Kirino trying to respond. Her words could not come out it seem. "You... you.." said Kirino attempting to explain with her expression painful. At this point, Kyosuke gave in, he couldn't take it anymore. "It's fine" he said. "You don't have to say it" he continued as he put his hand to her
head patting it. "What... are you... doing?" she asks. "A brother's duty..." he replies.
For the sake of fluidity, the story continues. Having made his sister cry, Kyosuke nervously idled about. "Kyousuke!? Y-You!?" yells their mother. She had returned from shopping with terrible timing. From her view, the room was a mess, her daughter's boyfriend stood there with a troubled expression, Kirino was crying, and standing next to her was Kyosuke who had earlier been kicked out of the room. "Wait, mom, there's been a misunderstanding!" says Kyosuke with almost no persuasive power.

"Misunderstanding? what is there to misunderstand? You do know the difference between right and wrong don't you!?" exclaims his mother. "To think... to think.." she goes on. "THAT YOU WOULD LAY YOUR HANDS ON YOUR OWN SISTER!?" she yells. "What!?" exclaims Kyosuke. "Don't try to play dumb you brute! I heard from the lady next door. The two of you were happily walking arm in arm in front of the station a while ago were you!?" she says. "To think that siblings would be in a love triangle....!! No! I will not allow it!" she continues. "It's a misunderstanding!" says Kyosuke trying to explain. "Well why is Kirino crying? It's because you isn't it!?" she asks angrily. 'Well yes, but it's different!" Kyosuke couldn't find away out of the situation. He realized the only way was to apologize profusely.
After sorting out the situation with his mother(though it seems she punched him rather hard in the process), he was walking with Mikagami part way home. Mikagami basically explains that he can't be with Kirino cause of his own baggage and that he was at first sent to convince Kirino to change her mind. He also tells him that Misaki knew that Kirino and Kyosuke were siblings because of the way they acted. He left off he'd report to Misaki that he wasn't able to break the two up and that the next time he comes over it'll be as Kyosuke's friend.

All that was left at this point was for Kirino and Kuroneko to make up. He resolved that it was not his place to do anything there. That night, his father happily drank and Kirino had a long phone conversation with Kuruneko. After hanging up, Kirino informed Kyosuke that the party would be the day after next.
He later contacted Ayase with the results of his investigation for her. "Kirino doesn't have a boyfriend" he told her. "Oh, well that's good" she says sounding quite relieved. He then questions how Ayase had acquired the purikura picture since he still had his and Kirino had thrown hers at him during their fight. She asks if Kyosuke had properly inspected the thrown purikura picture. He said he did not. She then tells him that it's fine and nothing to worry about.
Finally, he calls out Kuroneko. She sat on a bench waiting. When she had realized he was near, she said "I've been waiting". "Yeah" was his response. "Did you make up with Kirino" he asks. "yes... yesterday, over the phone. It seems I made you and Saori worry" she says. "I don't mind as long as you two have made up it's fine. Tomorrow we have the party to look forward to and this time we'll succeed at it" he says. "yes, Yes, that's right" said Kuroneko gently as she nodded. Kyosuke had realized that her way of speaking to him has changed recently. "By the way, you two were on the phone for quite a while, what did you talk to Kirino about?" he asked. "It's a secret" she replies. "I see" he said in return. He was curious, but it couldn't be helped if she would discuss it. "well... do you know what business we have left?" asked Kuroneko. "No.... I didn't understand the "I'm waiting for you at the promised place" email" replied a confused Kyosuke. "I called you hear because I was thinking about lifting the curse." she said.

"Curse?" questions Kyosuke. "Y-yes, the curse. The one I placed up you here some time ago" said Kuroneko. Kyosuke remembered when she had kissed him. They both turn red upon realizing each other had remembered. "How do you... life the curse?" asks Kyosuke. "I-Idiot.... what were you imagining just now?" she scolded as if reading his mind. "No, well, probably doing the same thing as last time is what I thought" he earnestly replied. "That's what I thought.... Really now, such a shamelessly inference" she said. Kyosuke apologizes at her glare. "The curse can't be lifted" she says. "what?" asks Kyosuke. "O-once cast you can't hope to life the curse" is what she said. "That's different than what you said, certainly, if your wish was granted the curse would be lifted right?" said Kyosuke. "Well, certainly... if my wish were granted the curse would be lifted, but it doesn't mean curse on you would be lifted." she said. Kyosuke had no clue what she was saying. "Then... what does "lifting the curse" mean?" he asks. "It means a more powerful curse would overwrite the current one" she replies. So then, Kuroneko says the words to the world's most powerful, old, and terrifying curse. "Please go out with me" she says. Several days after the confession, Kyosuke and Kuroneko became lovers.

Der letzte Paragraph will mit Vorsicht zu genießen sein, ich weis nicht ob da nicht ein Troll Versuch dahinter steckt. Warum? Naja die letzten 2 Sätze hören sich so derartig schlecht geschrieben an das mir wirklich zweifel kommen.

edit: ahh ich sehe du hast schon was gefunden.
Bezüglich des Endes... wtf was soll das bitte gewesen sein? Wieviele Volumes kommen da noch?

[Ianus]

Also wenn der trollt, dann trollt er mindestens seit Novel drei. Ich würde auf die Übersetzungen von Baka-Tsuki warten bevor ich ein Urteil fälle. Ich weiß nicht, inwiefern die Geschichte für den Anime modifiziert wurde. Ich meine abgesehen davon, dass man die Rolle ihres Vaters praktisch rausfallen lassen hat.

[Gorewolf]

na das wird ja nächsten monat lustig wen katanagatari voll aufdreht war bei folge 11 jetzt schon derb geschockt über die ereignisse !

pengin warum nur *heul*

...

Ja, vor allem der Cliffhanger am Ende hat rein gehauen. Das teilweise schleppende Tempo der Serie zieht zu Ende echt an. Ich kann das Finale kaum abwarten!

[Karl]

Seht Ika Musume!

[La Cipolla]

Oh mein Gott is das süß! *___*

[Ianus]

Das war vermutlich der beste Teil der gesamten Serie. Just Sayan.

[Karl]

Das war vermutlich der beste Teil der gesamten Serie.

...

Vielleicht. Aber das heißt nicht, dass der Rest schlecht ist. Mich hat die Serie bislang besser unterhalten können, als The World God Only Knows und Sore Imouto. Und damn! Ein. Anime. Am. Strand. Ohne. Fanservice!!!!!1111

Ohne Fanservice?... Najaaaa^^

Achja, und Ianus findet ja auch Star Driver gut.
Was Ika Musume bietet: Ika Musume, sonst nichts
Was Star Driver bietet: Ein schönes Musikstück vor dem Kampf jeder Ep, sonst nichts.

Dann doch lieber etwas Squid. (Wobei ich eigentlich beides nicht mehr schaue) Eigentlich kommt Squidgirl noch echt gut an, trotz dass es echt nur lahme Dinge abseits vom... Squidgirl hat.

[Ianus]

Was Star Driver bietet: Ein schönes Musikstück vor dem Kampf jeder Ep, gute Animation und einen dramatischen Spannungsbogen innerhalb einer Geschichte, die noch Entwicklungspotential hat, sonst nichts.

...

Sanaka 'is weg, mein Herr.



Sie hat die Fähre genommen und ist von der Insel weggefahren. Ich möchte ja nicht kleinlich sein, aber Serien mit Handlung schlagen in den meisten Fällen Gagserien, die auf einem einzigen Charakter aufbauen.
Nebenbei hat Star Driver noch einiges an Episoden vor sich. Da kommt noch Charakterentwicklung und andere Sachen, die Squid Girl allein schon dem Genre wegen nicht bieten wird.

[Karl]

Ja, der Song ist echt toll, sogar so toll, dass sogar ich, der die Serie noch nicht gesehen hat, ihn kennt. Und mich mit dieser zusammengepinselten Form zufrieden geben, bis die Single rauskommt.

Aber abseits davon geht es nicht darum, was mehr bietet, sondern was den Einzelnen mehr unterhält. Ein Vergleich zwischen Star Driver und Squid Girl erscheint ohnehin etwas falsch. Letzteres habe ich auf jeden Fall gesehen und es macht Spaß, egal wie gut Star Driver ist, es senkt nicht den Unterhaltungwert von Ika.

Ohne Fanservice?... Najaaaa

...

Wirklich! Leute sind im Badenazug, aber nur weil sie am Strand sind. Keine Nahshots, Kamerafahrten, stilisierte Standbilder oder extra hervorgehobene Nippel und Vertiefungen!
Und Squid Girl hat außer Ika noch einige weitere sympathische Charaktere, ist also imo nicht völlig auf Ika gebaut, obgleich sie natürlich mit Abstand das größte Standbein ist um das alles gebaut wurde.

[Ianus]

Jänner. Die ••••••• lassen uns bis Jänner warten.

...

Stimmt. Die Serien laufen in komplett anderen Genres. Es kommt ein bischen komisch, sie gegeneinander ausspielen zu wollen.
