Keitaro... Mangas vs. Anime

[Chikiboo]

I'm reading Love Hina mangas noew and I found think that Keitaro is really a pervert, not too much but still more than in the anime ... Did anyone notice that too or I was just too amazed when I saw the anime ??

[Ronin Aquila]

Not quite a pervert, he is merely:

1) Clumsy

2) Ill fated

and most importantly,

3) HETEROSEXUAL, DAMNIT!! Like, come bloody on!! Do we HAVE to follow the feminist tenemants of masculine persecution known as political correctness!! How the bloody hell do you expect a normal, helathy heterosexual adolescent male to react to the sight of a beautiful young woman? Do you have to be a bloody ------ to be a decent responsible individual in the age of political correctness? I think not.

Another anachroistic oxymoron of our confused society.

The female body, although clearly an entity of insurpassable and indescribable beauty, not to mention the precious source of all human life, is condemned by the Judaeo Christian (amongst others worldwide) religious instituion as the origin of all sin.

Though sex is an act that produces children, which are supposedly idolised and seen as precious by the church, it is simultaneously condemned as a carnal act of beastial lust by the same Bishops who force little boys to inhale their semen every sunday after church.

To admire a sacred, maternal beauty is to invite damnation?

How illogically hypocritical can you get?

Hey I didnt say that was a crime to be a man .....
They just show a true adolescent mind .. that's more realistic
But I notice a change from the manga to the TV series ....

Personally I like him better when he's more like a normal guy... I mean come on we would have to doubt his sexual orientation if he saw Naru naked and didn't have um a ... reaction. He'd be like Tenchi.

Yup..... Keitaro is definitely not like Tenchi. :D Keitaro is closer to a typical guy then Tenchi ever will be. No offense, but Tenchi is prolly gay. :lol:

Keitaro isn't a perv ..... i think that it's just his well .."bad luck"

personally ..i think that his 2 friends (forgot their name ...glasses and brown hair) are more preverted ....

Now tenchi...he's just plain weird. He doesn't even like the sight of ryoko or ayeka in a bathing suit, for example...weirdo. Now at least Keitaro reads porno :p

[Ronin Aquila]

It is a wise choice on the part of Akamatsu Sensei to give Keitaro (not to mention all the other Love Hina characters) so full of humane flaws: in this way, it is much easier for the reader to identify with them than with exemplars of perfection that lead most other animes out there.

I take it the version of Tenchi Muyo you saw was the CN edit. Well, in the orginal version, they were (drumroll...) NAKED!!

you mean CN went through all the trouble of adding bathing suits!?!

anyways, as for keitaro, yeah he's just a terribly unlucky young man who also happens to live with a bunch of girls that don't seem to give him more 1 nanosecond to explain himself when caught doing something that looks perverted.

Not only does he read porno, he even.... masturbates! This is just speculation, but check out chapter 1 where he has his pants off with a box of tissue paper beside him. This was debated in another board and I thought it was funny.

[Chikiboo]

Yes he look more a normal hetero guy than in the TV serie ... He think about the girls but he's always so clumsy maybe because I cannot concentrate when he's surrounded by all those beautiful girls ....

[WierdIsraeli]

hey ...you can't blame keitaro for entering scenese where he gets to see panties or cleavage (or even more muahahaha) it's like ...what guy won't look at a girl's cleavage if it's infront of him (hmmm ..i think i dig my grave now)

and btw ...when you got a tease like kitsune near by ...things are destined to happen ...especially when she's drunk

Correction, he was attempting to wipe his dripping nose.

But, you know, bad timing X bad tempered girl walking in = instant pain.

Though initially pitiable, one can admire Keitaro for (eventually) gaining the respect and friendship (at least) of the girls through sheer perseverence in his endless suffering. :)

Very true.. *raises a glass to Keitaro's accomplishment* :beer: :D

sadly though, keitaro's situation can be quite representative of real life.. :heh: although in RL girls tend to use more psychological abuse than physical :(

[Mr_Bug]

Yes, he does have a lot of perseverance. I know I would have given up a lot sooner :(

[Forever Z.E.R.O.]

I wouldnt give up. Not ever. Getting to live with beautiful girls in Hot Springs at the low low price of a few broken bones and studying for College? Sounds like a deal to me.

[Ikari_Asuka_Langley]

Hey... well said Forever z.e.r.o. :lol:


Actually I prefer physical damage... I'm constantly smacking people and pinching and stuff. :devil:

[kakerjak]

physical damage aint the greatest.. but it sure beats that psychological trama girls inflict on guys.. :heh:

:rolleyes: Thats b/c your not on the recieving end like the rest of us IAL..... Actually sometimes i dunno which is worse.... physical or mental abuse from the girls that i love..... hmmmm. :heh: :confused2

[Ronin Aquila]

Physical damage is much more kind; for unlike emotional damage, physical wounds DO heal, and don't leave scars that damage your very humanity.

Just take one look at Ikari Shinji and try to argue otherwise...

Nope, I'm a TM vet. I've been watching the original since '95...sometime around there. The point is, I didn't see the 'cut' version, I didn't bother to watch it.
