Kirika-Chan is so cute!!

[Ronin Aquila]

Just look at her!! She is such a sweet girl forced into such a horrid life. She is kind and vulnerable, and every one of her regrettably rare smiles are moments of pure angelic beauty. :kawaii: And whenever she cries, you can't help but reach out, hold her in your arms and comfort her. :bawling:

Here's to you, Kirika-Chan, may your smile never die. :)

[jetalone]

*applauds*

Oh, my, that's a nice pic.

It looks cropped, though. Where'd you get it? :kawaii:

[Nairohe]

Are you planning to cosplay as Kirika... oops... why did i say that! mental images... no NO NO!!!!

[Ronin Aquila]

I got it from the Ezboards Noir Discussion Forum; it was someone's signature.

Oh, Mister Nairohe, I wasn't planning to do that cosplay, but now that you mentioned it, a good idea is a good idea. :lol:

[tekblade]

eh if u do u gotta take a pic of yourself and show it to us :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

I'll hopefully be able to do a backflip shot by then.... :)

[kaji]

I like the way she eats an icecream, its just so cute

she's looking up at Mireille with such baby eyes and she got her fore finger on the point of the cone and she's slowly pushing it in while she chews

[Ronin Aquila]

And the way she goes "Esho" like a little girl whenever she lifts something or sits down on a chair is so cute too!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ahh i remember that, the way she says that is so cute, i like it when they do that, she reminds me of aria chan from sister princess :D

[Ronin Aquila]

I wanna have her as my little sister!! :kawaii: :bawling:

[thedarkmarine]

And then she gets them Chloe eyes and she looks like "I'm gonna F@(!in murder you all."

[tekblade]

naw i dont think so, i want her as a sis too, if anyone messes with us she can go take them out :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

She'll get her angel eyes back, don't you worry!! :)

And as a martial artist, it would be wonderful to have such a skilled little sister to practice with....

.... though one would hope she does not kill you out of reflexes/habit/accident in the process. :heh:

[tekblade]

hehe yeah dont wanna end up getting killed in the process by just practicing with her :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Though you would be practicing with one of the best martial artists on this globe, and will become one as well should you survive.

But having her adorable company is good enough too. :kawaii:

[thedarkmarine]

I wanna play with some guns...and sell that watch on ebay.

[tekblade]

hmm id like to have some tea with kirika :D

[Ronin Aquila]

I wana take her to the zoo, or funfair!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

heheh so many places to take her :D

[thedarkmarine]

Ya, she can win me some fluffy animals.

[Ronin Aquila]

With her accuracy, it will take a four wheel drive to fill all the teddy bears that she can win that evening.

Personally, I would just like to spend 20 minutes with her on the ferris wheel, in each others arms as the starry night is filled with the brilliant blossoms of summer fireworks... :kawaii:

[tekblade]

oooh that sounds so niceEeeeeeeeeee :D i just want to walk around with her in a park or something :D

something's wrong with u man!

[Ronin Aquila]

I'm just the following, mate:

1) Incurably romantic

2) Sick of having a male hating, cynical, mean tempered, blame-everything-the-father-did-to-her-on-me-and-gives-me-so-much------I-want-to-slash-my-wrists-if-it-were-not-wanting-to-live-to-watch-anime, feminazi b!tch for a sister instead of and adorable sweet girl like Kirika-Chan.

A good enough reason, my friend?

[tekblade]

heh i think its a fine one :D but id like kirika to be a lil younger, maybe like 10 :) rather having her at, how old is she, 16? :heh: more easy to hang around and talk to :D

[heerogf]

kirika kinda looks like me ^^...kinda, well, i wish =P i think she and meireyu would make a kewl couple, if they're already not

[scanned]

Hmm.. quite a surprise to see this kind of thread here. I saw Noir just last week... And it's probably the first anime where I didn't pay much attention to cute/beautiful girls.

*** spoilers ***

To me, the main question about Kirika in the series was her true identity - a coldblooded assassin with a divine purpose, or just a quiet girl who likes to draw and eat icecream. Need I say, I was very touched by Noir's ending.

As for brothers and sisters.... Ooh, I'd like to have her as my sister. It really doesn't matter that she's skilled with guns. She's cute, and honest, and can probably make you feel so good just by having a cup of tea with her. Kirika is a kind of girl, who you hate (because she's so much better than you), admire (because she seemes so wholesome, but you really can't get close to her) or love (because you just do). I just love her.

[thedarkmarine]

She's just so damn innocent it hurts. The look on her face when she points the gun...

[scanned]

Imagine what she must've felt, when she told Artena in the last episode, that "i will bear my sins as kirika"... To me, that was the momenth of truth in Noir.

I can't stop thinking... didn't she really feel anything, when she pulled the trigger? But on the other hand, all those people who were assassinated by her, weren't really "innocent civilians", they were all criminals, the scum of the earth. Naah, this's just too confusing... I have to rewatch the series and focus only on Kirika to bring some clarity into this.

[tekblade]

she was sorta trained to kill so i guess she really didnt feel much remorse killing them

[scanned]

There were many moments in the series, where she hesitated, don't you think? Especially in that episode with the russian who killed tatars during the world war in some camps. But what was the source of that hesitation? That I cannot tell.

[Ronin Aquila]

Kirika-Chan momentarily reconsidered her when she considered how wholeheartedly this old man tried to repent for his sins, at the cost of his own physical well being. Then she proceeded, as that was the only way for him to die with a clear conscience.

[tekblade]

hmmm i believe that is so :D i guess shecould kill him because like you said ronin he tried to redeem himself and i think kirika thought it was the time for him to go

[Ronin Aquila]

Not quite. What I meant was she knew he was a good man attempting to change, but she also knew he would die with a guilty conscience if not punished appropriately for what he did. Everyone deserves to die a natural death, including him. However, Kirika-Chan knew that although he wants to do some good before he dies, he also wants punishment for his sins, and will not die in peace until he receives it. :bawling:

[scanned]

Ronin Aquila, you're probably right. At least I want to believe so.

But hey, there's another kawaii side of Kirika... It was so touching, how Kirika cared for Mireille, don't you think? And that letter she wrote to her, when she left to search for Artena... Aahh. *sob*.

[Ronin Aquila]

And that scene in Taiwan when she picks up the dried lizard and looks at it sheepishly at the Chinese medicine shop. That just screams kawaii all over it!! :kawaii:

[scanned]

And I can't get one image out of my head: Kirika sitting by a river and painting, only green grass and sunlight surrounding her. So peaceful... So sweet... So Kirika.

[Ronin Aquila]

I would just sit next to her and give her a big hug around the shoulder if only she would not snap my neck out of pure, un-malicious reflex. :heh:

[scanned]

I think that a kind, caring and sincere friend is something that Kirika treasures more than anything... So she'd probably just give you a kawaii smile, and ask if you like her picture. Or maybe she'd just smile. =)

[Ronin Aquila]

A smile that will be forever on the most precious page in the album of my heart. :kawaii:

[thedarkmarine]

I'm sorry but that first pic Karika drew just made me cringe. >_<

[Ronin Aquila]

Aw come on she is only a beginner!! Cut her some slack will ya? :kawaii:

[thedarkmarine]

Ya, it was cute too though.

"Don't you sketch first?"
"Hun?"

[heerogf]

kirika is GREAT for hugging! just look at that little round face and eyes! :o ::glomp kirika forever::

[scanned]

I'd prefer to trade somebody elses life for that hug. :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Ah, the sincerity of your love is not that deep now, is it? :kawaii: :D

[jinshil]

ahhh kirika is SOOO kawaii!

*yet so scary with those damn chloe eyes T_T*

gotta love that little "esho" thing, hehe, i was wondering how i could describe it...its soooo cute!

GO KIRIKA!

[Ronin Aquila]

Shows that her true nature is that of a sweet girl, not a pure murderer.

[scanned]

Why don't we dig up every kawaii scene about Kirika? :D
Ep 2: When they were sitting in a cafe, and Kirika had that t-shirt with the french flag... just sitting there, and looking around, not so sure, if she'd supposed to be relax, enjoy herself... She looked a bit confused, and she was also a bit shy... That scene just screamed kawaii all over.

[Jaylah_Mae]

I like her shoes... =)

[Ronin Aquila]

Her smile as she was ready for Mirelle's shot of revenge was so sweet and pure that it was simultaneously heartbreaking and adorable. :bawling:

[scanned]

Something more casual: do you think that green dress and the hat was kawaii or what? When it was summertime, and they went to the beach, in the earlier episodes.

[tekblade]

my fav is prob when she was painting liek the scene you guys said. hmm i was wondering if it would be reall kawaiii if she wore glasses :D

[tekblade]

my fav is prob when she was painting liek the scene you guys said. hmm i was wondering if it would be reall kawaiii if she wore glasses to read books :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Picture this romantic moment:



The tranquility of the dusty old library is only broken by the occasional multi-chromatic hews of sunlight filtered through the saints guarding the stain glassed windows. Kirika-Chan is presently absorbing the poetry of an ancient manuscript. Her detication to the studies lent her already elegant face a mature charisma, and her delicate silver framed spectacles only helped to further accentuate that beauty.



She is beautiful with glasses, isn't she? :kawaii:



The fluttering of a passing moth rudely brought her flinching back from the world of literature into dull reality, and sending the book at hand hurtling onto the grimy floor. Almost apologetically, Kirika-Chan bends down to retrieve the tome, only to have her hands meet with that of a kind stranger.

Mutually they regarded each other, with only the stained-glass saints as witness to the begining of a beautiful friendship.



:kawaii:

[scanned]

I'm not one of those "women-belong-to-the-kitchen" type o' men, but Kirika seems soo cute in the kitchen... Making tea, eating icecream.. those were my favourite "peaceful scenes" with Kirika.

[Ronin Aquila]

A woman expressing kind and motherly qualities is a woman at her noble and elegant best. :)

[scanned]

The golden path to happiness in life is to enjoy the "little things" - eating icecream and drinking tea in an outdoor cafe in Paris. Or just sitting on the green grass and painting. I feel like, after all she's been through, she still is more happy, in her own way, more than most people can ever be. Sadness on her right side, happiness on her left side. Interesting, complex and oh-so sweet girl she is...

[thedarkmarine]

Now if we could all just find her in real life...

[Ronin Aquila]

In understanding the darkness, Kirika-Chan has achieved the ultimate state of wisdom: To appreciate and find happiness in anything, no matter how seemingly insignificant or trivial, that is beautiful in life. :)

[scanned]

Thus... you kind of feel sad for her, and also envy her at the same time.

[Ronin Aquila]

Envy or not, you still just wana give her a big fat huggy-huggy!! :kawaii:

[scanned]

I was actually thinking today, what it'd be like, if she were my sister. I'd sit around at home, practice viol, and then she'd come saying "tadaima", and then I'd just run to her and give her the longest hug. I'd make her sit by the TV, and while she'd watch her favourite (anime?)show, I'd bring her icecream and grapes. =)

Aawwhh... why can't I have a sister like her??!

[Ronin Aquila]

It is always the most unattainable object of desire that is the most ideal one. Isn't it such a pity. :bawling: :heh:

[scanned]

Think of the joy you'll experience when you will meet someone like her in real life.

[Ronin Aquila]

Love at first sight defined. :kawaii:

Either that, or she kicks the persons ass...well, it'd look cool.

[Ronin Aquila]

Only if that stranger is an a$$hole. And if anyone gets funny ideas about or tries to hurt Kirika-Chan, I will shatter every last motherluvin bone in their miserable bodies. :kawaii:

[scanned]

No use getting yourself all worked up for some bastard. Just shoot him, I say. Well, with Kirika's skills, I guess you don't have to worry about perverts anyways.

[thedarkmarine]

Note to self: When stalking, don't wear ties...

:look: What?

[scanned]

Wear bulletproof outfit, behind a explosion proof cover, inside an armored truck, and keep distance at least 100 meters.

[tekblade]

hehe that still wont help you :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

The only place that you are truly safe from Kirika-Chan's creative wrath is a scene devoid of props and furnitures, and that really discounts a kitchen or restaurant from the list. :heh:

[Darklightz]

Don`t you love it in the scene where Kirika brings the cat?She`s at her cutest then :D
<-----

[scanned]

I personally liked the tea-drinking and painting scenes the most.

Her very first smile was when she saw the cat playing in the garbage bin.... so unforgettable.... :kawaii:

[thedarkmarine]

Aye aye, the cat scene. I'm with Ronin on this one.

[Ronin Aquila]

I have her first smile as my current wallpaper!! :kawaii:

[thedarkmarine]

Now that's excessive.

[tekblade]

:lol: naw i dont think so hehe. yeah i remember it all too well too. when she was with the cat that was so cute :D i have a pic of her smilin here

[Ronin Aquila]

Desho? :D

[scanned]

I just thought, that Mireille and Kirika are SO different, yet they somehow manage to make a great team. They do their job well (or should I say did), and they get along very nicely. It kinda reminds me of big sister -> little sister relationship. Without the constant fighting.

[tekblade]

yeah it seems like it doesnt it :D mireille gets to haver her as a sis while we only hope for it :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Well, get the DVDs (when they come out) buy the artbooks, wallscrolls (why aren't there any yet!!!) and you'll have the next best thing. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

:lol: yup hehe, but i dont have the cash for it :heh: all i have are pics i find around the net :D

[scanned]

I'd wish they'd invent that Holodeck from Star Trek already! =)

[Ronin Aquila]

Kirika-Chan as your little sister program... :kawaii: I'd spend my whole life in it than my real life any day. :kawaii:

[scanned]

Same here. It would be pretty "fake", but I'd rather have a nice and fake thing then average and real. Well, at least when Kirika is the subject.

[tekblade]

hehe, thatd be cool :D hmm but itd be kinda cool if she could interact with you, like you could actually touch her or hold hands without going to another place :D

[Ronin Aquila]

The best part of that programme is that you can have her give you huggy huggies on a regular basis, and you can huggy huggy her back too!! :kawaii:

[scanned]

The holograms in Holodeck can be programmed in two ways - matter either passes through them or not, so, if its Star Trek's holodeck we're talking about, you can hug Kirika as much as you want.

[Ronin Aquila]

Joy!! :kawaii:

[thedarkmarine]

You guys are all sick. If Karika saw this thread...

[scanned]

She'd be flattered, because our love for her is pure and completely non-sexual.

Though you can only use a Holodeck if you are at least an Ensign upon a federation starship... Hmm, gotta get my astrometrics up to scratch!! :kawaii:

Wait for me, Kirika-Chan!! Here I come!! :kawaii:

[scanned]

thedarkmarine, why are you being so modest about your feelings towards Kirika-chan? =)

[tekblade]

lol :lol: i think he wants her for himself :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Don't we all... :kawaii:

But as long as the love is pure, no harm will be done. Impure, however, the less said of the subsequent punishment the better. :)

[tekblade]

hehe :lol: yeah as long it aint bad you wont get beaten to a pulp much :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Time to get out the ol' sledgehammer. :D

ooooh :lol: uh oh whos gunna get it :D

:lol:

[tekblade]

hmm what else can we do with lil kirika, hrmmm i wonder if she can dance? well i cant but oh what the hell :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

Dancing the Tango with her to the tune of the original "Stand By Me" by candlelight... Ah, just too perfect. :kawaii:

[scanned]

Dancing reminds me... what kind of music would she like? I'd go for sweet jazzy house tunes.

[Ronin Aquila]

I think she'll love sweet, slow oldies like "Stand By Me", "Everyday", "My Girl" and "What A Wonderful World." :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Ooh, wait, I forgot

The lovely song "Brown Eyed Girl." :kawaii:

[scanned]

Okey, that will probably fit her more, but listening to jazz would make her cooler. =)

[Ronin Aquila]

Jazz by Misterss Yoko Kano, I presume? :kawaii:

Or maybe Arethra Franklin (Oh wait, the song "Respect" sounds like a theme song more fitting for Mirelle. :heh:)?

[scanned]

I'm talking more like a sweet mix of house and jazz music... Do you know Holmes and Ursula Rucker? They made this tune called "This journey", it's one of the best examples of newschool jazz-mixture.

[Ronin Aquila]

Oops. :heh:

Gotta go to those record stores again.

Been stuck listening to nothing but oldies ever since I fell in love with the "Forrest Gump" soundtrack.

Man am I doomed for obselence. :heh:

[scanned]

Better late than never! =)

[Ronin Aquila]

Asides from that the only "Contemporary Artist" I listen to is Eminem (constantly) to calm my constant anger. :heh:

[scanned]

I listen to "Salva Nos" when my sister has once again made my life miserable. Its just so full of energy!

[Ronin Aquila]

"Canta Per Me" whenever I need to healthily cry out my grief as opposed to screaming it out with Eminem.

And of course, whenever I need to meditate on Kirika-Chan's tragically vulnerable, yet elegantly noble beauty. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe :D i listen to whatever to help me when im down, but i think i can see kirika listening to jazz :)

[scanned]

Yeah... very colorful mixture of demure, yet cute Kirika-chan and improvisative virtuous jazz tunes. God, I'd like to see that!

(Is there a word like "improvisative" in english, I wonder.)

[Ronin Aquila]

It is a most flexible language, old chap. And in this age of blindingly fast technological advancement, new words are invented by the month.

Therefore, there is no longer such a thing as a cardinal rule of grammar or vocabulary in this day and age. :)

[scanned]

And thank God for that. =) It would be so much harder to express the confusing and complex feelings and thoughts about cute Kirika-chan just by following the strict laws of grammatics.

[Ronin Aquila]

You mean the feeling you have when you see blue skies and soft puppy dogs? :kawaii: Yeah, I get that too whenever I see Kirka-Chan, especially when she smiles. :kawaii:

[scanned]

More like blue skies, windy forests, beautiful rivers and mountains... I'd leave the dogs out on this one. :D

[tekblade]

my place would be like just a grassy feels stretching on to eternity, and blue skies with white fluffy clouds :D

[Ronin Aquila]

With Kirika-Chan running towards my outstretched arms, her rich brown hair and blue silk dress billowing in the wind. :kawaii:

[scanned]

Oh God we're so hopeless. :heh:

[tekblade]

ahh that be so nice running to her, naw we're not hopeless, just dreamers :D

[Ronin Aquila]

And incurably romantic. :kawaii:

[scanned]

That's what I meant by hopeless. =)

Well, if you lose the ability to dream, you're no longer a human being. That is what I believe.

[Ronin Aquila]

If one loses the ability to love, he is no different from a devil. :bawling: And that is truly pitiable indeed.

[scanned]

But, so far, we seem to be in quite a good shape, we constantly dream about Kirika-chan, and we don't mind sharing it with others. =)

[tekblade]

hehe yep, we be the kirika dreamers :lol: hmm some ppl say dreams are curses, but blah them, i think there our only way to esape reality into a better one :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Where the warm embrace and smile of a lovely and sweet girl will always be there for you. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ooooh yep just thinking about that makes me actually wanna be there now :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Don't we all. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

i wonder if kirika likes the beach :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Ah, Kirika-Chan in a swimsuit... :kawaii:

Dosen't it make you wonder what her sizes are?

Let ask the folks at Bee Train productions, shall we? :D

Hem...
Cough. Cough.

Well, if Ruri can do it, so can she.

BTW, Ronin, did you get that email I sent you? And are you back in Australia yet?

[Ronin Aquila]

Not yet, Mister D, to both questions.

I won't set foot on Terra Australis until the 26th day of February of the year 2002.

And even then, it will be on the morning following a midnight flight. Therefore, tired as I am, I won't be able to talk to anyone until the 27th.

Sorry about that.

Back on topic.

Kirika-Chan must be immune to Jetlag. For judging from personal experience, unless she is flying at least Business class, the poor dear must be constantly insomnic/dead tired from all that constant international flying she does on her jobs.

Bless her soul. :kawaii:

[Andrew D]

Well, Mireille probably has enough money to be able to afford it.

BTW, I wonder how they get their guns through customs. I don't doubt that they'd know some tricks WRT that, though.

[Ronin Aquila]

Kirika-Chan eating Icecream Sundae in Business class.

Ah, that so cute. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

heheh :D thatd be nice, id like to imagine that your coming home from school and there she is waiting for you to walk with you home in the nice warm afternoon :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Or when I'm too damn sleepy and she tries to shake me awake, and the first thing I see every morning is her concerned but cute face saying "Your toast is getting cold, onichan!!" :kawaii:

[tekblade]

omg thatd be so niceeeee :D whatd i do to have that :heh: i think itd be nice walken with her arm around yours or just going out :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

And sending you off to school, waving and saying "Have a nice day, Onichan!!" :kawaii:

[Andrew D]

Just had a thought about how similar Kirika-chan and Ruri-chan are in some ways.

Both are incredibly calm and efficient at what they do, did not have normal childhoods, and are supremely moe - "moe" meaning the type of cuteness a real human cannot have, only an anime character can.

Kirika-chan and Ruri-chan, long lost sisters, finally reunited... :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

However , Kirika-Chan is capable of showing open affection :kawaii: , while Ruri is too pompous and proud to do so. :D

[Excession]

For me the difference between the two is as follows:

Ruri is cute. She has the cute look down pat; it’s almost painful to look directly at her. Her eyes are beautiful and she has blue hair, which I have never been able to resist.

Kirika is vulnerable and sweet. I feel as though I want to go hug her and somehow protect her from all the nastiness she has forced upon her during the series. She also seems to have a greater depth, causing me almost to percieve her as actually being there, feeling things.

To compare them is impossible as they both represent different aspects of the overall 'cute' attraction.
Miss Ayanami was able to combine many of those said aspects and it took me around two years to get past the ‘obsessive’ stage. Ronin seems to be going through something similar right now, but directed at Kirika.

Ronin: I feel your pain, wonderful as it is.

[Ronin Aquila]

Oh, buddy, it's only pain if it's unpleasant. :kawaii:

Basking in Kirika-Chan's light is anything but pain. :kawaii:

It becomes pain later on, when you are forced to watch a bad hentai film involving the character in question doing unpleasant things to Shinji and his father. But hey, if you are lucky you won't have to suffer that in your case. :)

Mind you, it can get touchy when your co-workers look at your wallscroll and repeatedly comment on the size of the character's breasts and how the plug-suit makes them stand out. As if she is nothing more than that.
As if she is not a real person, with feelings!
Tainting her with their impure thoughts and words! :mad:

Oh..err...sorry, getting carried away. *breathes*
:)

[Ronin Aquila]

Kirika-Chan will remain pure and untouchable in my book. Anyone that dares to insult or hurt her will have the complement of their skeletal structure summarily pulverised. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe :lol: i dont think anyone will after you saying that :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

So you see, boys and girls, violence is the best solution to every problem. :kawaii:

Okay... who the devil is this suichi (starts chainsaw).... :evil:

[heerogf]

DAW! ur sO funny RA ::sacasticly:: well, for his protection (and mine) i won't tell you what show he is from, but i'll let u see a glimp of him

[heerogf]

oh sh!t, i just gave away the name of the show :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Ah, yes, the Graviton kid. Well, he can compete for cuteness with all the other little homosexuals, including Chloe. :D

My Kirika-Chan is strictly heterosexual, thank you very much. :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

(Sharpens 3 foot long, 4 inch wide Chinese Sabre.) :kawaii:

It's the sort of clean love that a big brother or sister has for a cuddly and adorable baby sister, thank you very much.

u mean they're incest?? :eek: that's even worse!

i know what ur trying to do RA, and i won't happen ::goes to tell her secret assasin about it::

heero: RA is big and mean and scary, and he's talking about bad things like incest and trying to kill shuichi with a chainsaw and he's sharpening his knives right now

merieyu: tell him to go ---- himself, the mutha fucka if he does that.

chloe: ditto that *decide whether she should use a dinner fork or the butter knife*

[Andrew D]

Gomen, Ronin, but I'm with HeeroGF on this one.

Mireille 4 Kirika 4 ever! It's a pairing that eclipses even Haruka and Michiru!

[Ronin Aquila]

Okay, Mister D. See you at the next MAS screening.... :evil: :kawaii:

a.k.a. Sailors Uranus and Neptune. A cute, canonically-lesbian couple, and more mature than the inner senshi (but also more ruthless).

[Ronin Aquila]

Speaking of Magical Girls, take a look at the following GIF.

Isn't Kirka-Chan just so adorable? :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

And here's another more adorable one. :kawaii:

[heerogf]

:inlove: nice piccie (the second one) and i mean merieyu and chloe :p

UUUUUU looks like chloe is jealous and wanna get in on the action too!! ^___^ :devil: ::dream of chloexmerieyuxkirika 3-some::

[Darklightz]

Lol,Kirika as Sakura is kawaii!

But in the first pic she looks like she's about to shoot herself

[tekblade]

lol :lol: thats cute :kawaii:

[Excession]

Oh, wow. :)

I really like the second one, its very cute ^_^
Even Mireille manages to look cute in that great fluffy catgirl costume. Neko kawaii.

[Ronin Aquila]

If a little exasperated. :D

[tekblade]

hehe i think so too, but hey they still look cute :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Of course she is. :kawaii:

[cloakactive]

20+ pages and a total of 5 or so pictures. For all this talk about Kirika being cute, there sure is a lack of proof showing it. :heh: I think shes a rather adorable character as well, but can we possibly get more pics in here? :confused2

[tekblade]

heh its not that easy to find noir pics :D but ill look for some and shove some in here :heh:

[Excession]

It is very hard, I agree. I have spent many hours searching in vain for really good high-resolution scans and the like, but most times in vain.

The other day I located a site with a some truly wonderfull pictures, all in 2000x**** resolutions, but when I clicked on the thumbnail I was informed that they had been taken down. The good news is that I emailed the webmaster and he will be putting them back up soon, along with some news ones!

I will be sure to post the URL when it happens, as I am sure you would all appreciate them as much as I. :)

[Ronin Aquila]

Perhaps Kirika-Chan's ultimate appeal is identical to that of Ayanami Rei's. She is so vulnerable and sweet, and yet so regrettably unhappy that her few moments of happiness are made all the more precious, and your heart breaks with her's every time you are forced to see her suffer. :bawling:

In short, she appeals to our subconcious paternal instincts to protect the lost child, and therefore is extremely easy to love. :kawaii:

[Excession]

Extremely well put.
*claps*
Good show.

[Ronin Aquila]

If not an adorable baby sister, she would make a lovely daughter too. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

:lol: thatd be interesting an assasin as a daughter :D i kinda think thats cool but youll end up getting wrinkles x50 worrying about her when shes on ajob :kawaii: but as a normal daughter thatd be nice :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Having her come home saying "Hi Daddy I'm Home!!" and giving you a big huggy-huggy every day... ah, what a perfect life that would be. :kawaii:

He has a point, and so in aid of proving Kirika's cuteness I present exhibit A:
http://excession.d2.net.au/beauty.jpg
Is that not a vision of beauty?

[Ronin Aquila]

Beauty defined. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe there we go :D

What exactly do you mean, young man? ;)

[Butters]

Everyone seems to compare Kirika to Rei, but if anyone has seen Gunsmith Cats before, I reckon Kirika is like a young version of Rally Vincent. Both of them are proficient in guns, but personality is another thing...

I'm gonna get grilled by Ronin, but I'll say it anyway. When Kirika smiled at that stray cat [episode I'm upto] that was the most awful piece of animation. It seriously looked like she was in pain or suffering :dead:

[Ronin Aquila]

That was not the best, compared to her later moments of truly Angelic beauty. Such as the scene where she smiled because of the painter. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

Okay. :D

[tekblade]

hehe :D i know wisely not to mess with you :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

Nah, don't worry. I don't have a black belt... for the next four years, at least. :D

[tekblade]

hehe :D then i get 4 years to train also :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Make that five, my friend. For you need at least 9 months to obtain the Orange belt for Shotokan Karate.

Here's the list of progression

White
Yellow
Orange
Orange-Green
Green
Green-Blue
Blue
Blue-Brown
Brown
Brown- Black
Black (1st Dan)
Black (2nd Dan)

And so forth until the 10th Dan.

Ask your friendly local University for details. They would be more than glad to accomodate for a very reasonable $25 US per year fee as compared to the blood sucking ripoffs of non-university schools

Congratulations, martial brother to be. You are about to step into a wider world. :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Oh, and on a side note.

Our Darling Kirika-Chan, who presumably has learned how to punch before she could walk, would presumably be at least a Black-Belt 3rd Dan by the begining of Noir , would she not? :kawaii:

[Excession]

I rather think she could do without it anyway.

Any possible assailants would surely be hypnotized by the kawaii-waves which emanate from Kirika-chan.

Even in the series we see examples of this mystical force at work…grown men stopping, gun in hand, and staring wide-eyed at Miss Yumura for several long moments prior to her shooting them.

[Ronin Aquila]

Oh, its worth it, considering the last thing you ever see is so angelically beautiful and cute. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hey they die a happy man :lol: after seein her :D she could just smile and they would end up dying from her sheer cuteness :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

What a wonderful way to die: To have a heart attack induced by her angelic cuteness!! :kawaii:

[Excession]

Speaking of cute...
Ronin, I think your avatar is very cute. Whom might it be, and from what?

Oh, and an advance apology for attempting to drag the topic of conversation away from Kirika-chan.

[Ronin Aquila]

Far from it, dear chap. For we are still talking about cute girls of anime!! :kawaii:

This is Yomiko Readman, the ditzy heroine of the recent 3 Part OVA Read Or Die. She is a sweet, kind, abscent minded 25 year old schoolteacher who works for the British Intelligence Agency. Her powers can be summarised as thus: A paper controlling version of Magneto. Her almost obsessive yet innocent love of books reflects her powers. :)

She is well shaped without being sexual, and sweet without being disgustingly so. And most of all, she is very cute and huggable, just like our Darling Kirika-Chan. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ooh i agree ronin shes so cute :D i didnt know she was 25, i thought she was younger :heh: i really do like how she can controll paper and all, interesting and wicked at the same time :lol: i wish i could have her as an older sis :kawaii: and kirika as my lil sis. omg thatd be total heaven :D

[Ronin Aquila]

A cute little sister to hug when she cries, and a lovely big sister who can hug you whey you do. Isn't that sweet? :kawaii:

[Excession]

Good lord!

I must confess to now feeling distinctly obtuse (a feeling I have been getting a great deal lately, probably linked in some way to watching Furi Kuri). I simply did not realize it was Yomiko, though I know her well enough that there should have been no problem with recognition.
I have written a review of Read Or Die for a website (not mine), no less, and gave it 9/10 (the highest rating I have yet given out).

Perhaps this case of mistaken identity can be laid at the feet of cruel avatar restrictions, which have forced her visage into so tiny and cramped a square. (no offence to Eva2000, avatar limits are good things for keeping forums speedy)

In any case I must agree, Yomiko-chan is a very pleasant young woman, though from where she draws her powers mystifies me.

[Ronin Aquila]

In the manga it was stated that such was her pure and all abiding love for books, and therefore paper, that paper as a "race" loves her in return so much as to obey her every whim and desire. :)

[Excession]

Ronin, I bow before your superior wisdom.
That indeed sounds a perfect explanation, and interests me in the manga. Perhaps I shall search it out, in the hope of learning more about the background that gave birth to such a wonderful OAV.

Thank you for enlightening me.

[Ronin Aquila]

However, the manga also shows that there is a terrible emotional price to pay for her power. :bawling: Similar to what Kirika-Chan had to pay for hers. :bawling:

[Excession]

Sadly there often seems to be a price to pay when using special skills or powers. That is, after all, a central plot element in many anime (the inner battle fought by characters).

I do not wish to risk sounding perverse, because I take no joy in seeing the suffering of such characters. But that said, the terrible trails they are forced to endure contributes to their appeal. Characters which cause you to feel knotted up inside, whom you wish you could reach out and comfort, have always been the type I gravitate toward and grow to love.

I do believe that you gave Noir 9.5/10... that is if I am thinking of the AusAnime (http://claymen.axg.net/ausanime) website

*Shameless plug* :D

Well...yes Bigs, good point. ;)

[tekblade]

hmm a manga, hmm i gotta go see :D anyway heres a cute pic of kirika :kawaii: its when shes getting a haircut

[Ronin Aquila]

Aww!! Me wanna play with her hair too!! Just gotta love that sheepish expression, don't you? :kawaii:

[Excession]

I really like that picture of her holding a lock of hair, its quite sweet. The expression, as Ronin said, of innocence and sheepishness is charming, and for some reason causes me to wish I had a life-size plushie.

Of course with characters like her you could post any number of pictures, because she is cute almost all the way through the series.
Open any random episode, watch for two or three minutes and there, another cute shot of Kirika.
http://excession.d2.net.au/kirikasmile.jpg

[Ronin Aquila]

Aww, don't cry Kirika-Chan!! :bawling: I'll protect you!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

oohhhhhh, i wanna hug her :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Me first!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe youd hafta go through me first lol :lol:

[tekblade]

heh i could let this thread die, so ill just say shes the cutest thing alive :D thinking about her makes me feel like im in heaven :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

In the folds of her soft, tender embrace, you don't need to go to heaven....

You are already there. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

lol hehe :D your right just huggin her and you can die and be happy for eternity :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

She's has such a pattable head, dosen't she? :kawaii: And wouldn't you love to play with her hair like when Mirelle cut it in Episode 8? :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe id like to tie in into a pony tail and see how she looks, i think she'll look so cute in pony tails :D yep makes me want to pat her head also :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Or a waist lenght brown hair that cascades like a glistening brown waterfall over her compact and elegant frame. :kawaii:

She'll be the picture of a Little Princess then, wouldn't you say? :kawaii:

[tekblade]

omg seeing her with long brown hair oooh :kawaii: yeah she'll be the most elagant thing ever :D all she needs is a nice dress and some jewlery and wow she'll stand out so much

[Ronin Aquila]

Short of her own palace and a guard of honor (positions in which we would be more than glad to accomodate), she is practically Princess Kirika-Chan. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

all hail princess kirika. i wouldnt mind being her loyal knight to serve and protect hehe :D im gunna hafta draw kirika with long hair and a dress, i wonder how it'll be :heh: but right now im drawing miaka from fy from my sis's art book she bought she challanged me that i couldnt draw or rather copy it on paper so i said id do it, i cant call myself a future animator if i dont do it :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Don't forget her Kawaii Mythril Elvish Tiara!! :kawaii: No cute princess is complete without it, especially our lovely Princess Kirika-Chan. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ahh yes i hafta keep that in mind :lol: but i drew a flower pinned to her head though..... hmmmm maybe i can do something about it :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Ah, a flower shaped Elvish Mythril Tiara!! Elegance and adorability itself!! :kawaii:

[Foxxe]

SHe's cute but I don't see her pic too often to be happy about it.

[Ronin Aquila]

The rarer a beauty is the more precious it becomes. :kawaii:

[Palchan]

Kirika-chan cute...
No

Mireille as a kid however...

[Ronin Aquila]

Poor man, do look closer. For the sad girl before you is an angel who has but lost her wings. :kawaii: Her guardian, on the other hand, is just another sexy chick. ;)

Angel in the 'Eva' sense no doubt. :p:)

[Ronin Aquila]

No, angel in this "Sweet, Gentle, Lovely and Adorable" sense. Mirelle is an (admittedly attractive) one night fling I would forget in 30 minutes whereas Kirika-Chan's smile is a harbour of warmth that I can always dock on from the harsh ocean of hate and cruelty that is this world. :kawaii:

... and then she points a silenced pistol at you and bang (or not bang with the silencer and all). ^^ Kirika has a Rei-smile. I think Kirika is generally cool, but calling her cute seems a bit... ~~>_<~~
Chibi-Mireille is kawaiiiiiiii though! =)

Chloe is darn ugly, I can't stand her. ^^

[Ronin Aquila]

Mirelle Bouquete is quite a shagadelic chick, I concur. Can't quite stand the sh!tty attitude towards everyone and everything though.

Kirika-Chan, on the other hand, remains one of the most elegant and agreeable young ladies you'll ever meet. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

go kirika chan forever !!! :D yeah mirelle is nice, but like ronin said i think only for a one night stand :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Sure, Kirika-Chan is not sexy in any conceivable way, but at the very least she is a pleasant young lady :kawaii: , which is more than can be said about her guardian. ;)

[tekblade]

yeah i like how shes sorta conservative and so caring :D

[Ronin Aquila]

And how every one of her moves and gestures in everyday life emenate tenderness and warmty. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

so so true :kawaii: everything she does is just so cute :D

[Ronin Aquila]

And darn, after all this time we have forgot to mention her angelic voice!! Low yet innocent, sweet yet not sachrine, it is so just so pleasing to the ear to hear her speak to you, especially when she is happy!! :kawaii:

[Takara]

Falling for anime girls. :heh:
But I admit, I have my own two (one would expect no less of me) darling goddesses (NO not Mireille, Belldandy, or Ayanami). The real girls would be jealous, if they knew.

Twistin' the words a bit:
Mireille wouldn't go for a one night stand with me! She'd be hangin' on for months pleading for more. And of course I'd concur.

On Mireille's personality:
Mireille's a woman on a mission, and damnit she's gonna do whatever it takes. So, she's not all that kind to Kirika during the series, but the end hints she will be.

[tekblade]

well she shows some concern for her sometimes :D ahh ronin you are right her voice is so lovely :kawaii: hmm i finally drew princess kirika YAYYYY it aint the best but hell i tried :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

AWWW!! She's lovely!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe thanks but i think itd look better on white paper and some color added but oh well :D

[Ronin Aquila]

But she's still so lovely!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

aww hehe :kawaii: thanks

[Ronin Aquila]

Gotta Learn To Draw!!

The first thing I'm gonna draw is Kirika-Chan hugging her little dauhgter, Kirika-Chan 2, who is sitting on her lap. Both are smiling.

:kawaii: :kawaii: :kawaii: :kawaii: :kawaii:

[Serekith]

Here's a thought:

Kirika-chan has Kirika twins.

Three times the Kirika!

[Ronin Aquila]

Aww, that's just perfect!! :kawaii:

But imagine all the pain that she has to go through... :bawling:

But then again, that warm smile of motherly love and the sparkling tears of joy cascading out of her bright starlike eyes as she greets her adorable and precious little daughter/s into the world would be a lovely sight, would it not? :kawaii:

[Excession]

I go away for a week or so and this thread is still growing...
A tribute, perhaps, to Kirika-chan's infinite cuteness?

As for the idea of Kirika becoming a mother...to be honest this image somewhat spoils her appeal (at least for the duration I hold it in my mind, as it is a rather unnatural thing).

Her children, while no doubt sweet little girls, do not hold the same attraction (I mean that in a non-sexual manner, of course) as the original (pre-mother) Kirika. After all, I found myself drawn to her in the first place by her vulnerability and sad circumstances, though admittedly to a lesser degree than Ayanami.
Her children would lack those 'qualities', unless they too became assassins, which would see them becoming part of a bad sequel to Noir. :P
Not to mention the fact that they would have to lose their mother (Kirika) before she allowed them to become assassins, an event I seriously doubt good Ronin would allow to take place.
Yes, he and his chainsaws and sharks and seals.

In my mind, for the sake of preserving said cuteness (kawaii), Kirika will remain preserved as the vision of loveliness she was in the series.

[Ronin Aquila]

True, I would do anything in my power to protect those sweet little girls from suffering like their mother did. :)

However, young mothers in anime are pretty cute too, you gotta admit. Ezra-Oneechan of Vandread is a prime example. :kawaii:

Kirika-Chan, being so sweet and protective (though somewhat melancholic) would fit right into the shoes of an adorable young mother. :kawaii:

[Excession]

Oh, I'll not deny she would make a nice mother. Surely she would, raising her children to be sweet and kind, as she is herself (but for what Artena forced upon her).

However still she would lose that certain something, at least in my eyes. *sighs*

[Ronin Aquila]

Ooh, I would love to be those kids, who get huggy-huggies from their mother Kirika-Chan every day!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

thatd be nice :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Not to mention inheriting her lovely looks, voice and personality. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

oooh thatd be so nice :kawaii: i wish i could help raise her :D

[Ronin Aquila]

As would I.

Though I really wouldn't mind being her Dad either. :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

I finally have a photo of the sword I will protect My Kirika-Chan with.

It cuts, it slices, it dices. So look out anyone who dares to hurt Kirika-Chan. ;)

[tekblade]

oooh that looks wicked :D hehe im glad that im on your side :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

I'm glad you are. ;)

[tekblade]

do you know any moves with the katana? id be kinda scared to swing that around might end up doing sepku onto my self :lol: i got a wooden sword so im more comfortable swinging that and cracking some bones with it :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

Okay, here's a personal favourite stance, used by Kirika-Chan herself.

Hold the blade horizontally across your shoulders, edge facing the opponent. When his weapon comes cutting downwards towards you, allow the blade to hit the flat of your sword (and I stress flat ; you don't want to ruin a katana's edge) and allow your sword to be pushed downwards.

Here is the crucial part. Your blade must continue facing the opponent. And as soon as he has pushed your blade into a vertical or diagnal position, turn him into two by brining the blade in an upwards cut. ;)

Hope that helps. ;)

[Serekith]

Very nice sword. I have a wooden sword, a shinai (i'm not sure if that's spelt correctly) for Kendo, which I just started recently.

Interesting technique by the way. I suppose you realise that the opponent can do the same upwards cut to you from that position, so you'd have to be faster than the other person. Of course since you are defending and he already just swung his own blade, you have the advantage.;)

Argh, I really want a proper sword. Not for actual combat or anything, but'd it'd be nice to have.

[Ronin Aquila]

And remeber, also for protecting Kirika-Chan. ;) :kawaii:

[Serekith]

Of course! How could I forget.

[Ronin Aquila]

That's okay, as long as you still love her. :kawaii:

[Serekith]

Although I'm sure Kirika could protect herself quite well without any help. ;)

I mean, she killed a guy by flipping him over with his tie ! Now that's something!

[Ronin Aquila]

But still I wana protect her!! :kawaii:

[Serekith]

Of course, I'm sure she wouldn't mind any extra help.:)

[Andy00]

I dunno...Mireille might. <g>

C'mon...you'd know she'd be uber-suspicious.

[Palchan]

Kirika is not cute. :p
If you want cute, watch Digi Charat or, for a more 'interesting' variation, Mahoromatic. :D

[Serekith]

Each to his or her own I guess. :D

[Ronin Aquila]

And I to my Kirika-Chan. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

kirika is absolutely cute in her own way. we all have seem to se it in our own views :kawaii: sure she wouldnt need our help protecting her but shed at least appreciate our sentiments :D

[Ronin Aquila]

And you gotta admit, unless you're a feminist or an equally heartless creature, whenever she cries :bawling: your heart fills with pity, and you wanna hug her, protect her and tell her everything is going to be alright. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

so true , so true :D you just wanna be with her always, its the only thing we can do, is to comfort her in her time of need :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

And protect her honor with our lives if necessary. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

yup id be willing to sacrafice anythign for her :D

[Ronin Aquila]

I would love her smile to be the last thing I ever see. :kawaii:

[Serekith]

At least you could die happily seeing that smile before your eyes. :D

But it makes you wonder... If you were dying, why would she be smiling? :confused:

Unless of course it was part of your final wish or something, and she fulfills that wish, despite the sadness she would be going through, so that you can die happily in her arms.

[Ronin Aquila]

Cradling my weary head in her lap and gently stroking its crown of unruly hair, I fade into peaceful oblivion with her gentle smile guiding my undeserving soul into heaven. :bawling: :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ah thatd be nice, witnessing death with a smile for you to assure you of your new journey :D

[Ronin Aquila]

As she gently whispers in my ear: Please Wait For Me. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ahhh so romantic :kawaii: hmm i was doodling and i remembered you liked girl in glasses and i was thinking of a girl in happy lesson so i came up with this, maybe a classmate to our dear kirika chan :D

[tekblade]

hm i had to make another thread to attach :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

Aww!! :kawaii:

By the way, did you like Kisaragi-Mama, the Chemistry teacher? ;)

Short of the purple hair, she is so like Kirika-Chan that you gotta love her too!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hmm i cant seem to remember her, damn my bad memory :heh: hmm purple hair, i dunno can ya give me some details :D but if shes like kirika i like her already :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

A sad, calm, but extremely sweet and well meaning young lady. Just like Kirika-Chan. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ahh i see do you have any pics of her i like to see her :D

[Yurimitsu]

....throughout the series Kirika has never been referred to as that.... that title usually refers to a child or friend and Kirika is hardly a child..... i believe... .. i'm just pointing that out....

[hGh]

You mean the -chan suffix/title thingie ? If you do then, well, since we have grown so fond of Kirika and watched the series so many times, she is kind of our friend :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

And little sister too. :kawaii:

[Yurimitsu]

..actually it's more in tune with a suffix for a child friend thing... and like i said throughout the series she was never referred to as that...

[Ronin Aquila]

Or a girl who is younger than you who is just so darn cute!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

yep so true chan does refer to children but it also refers to cute ppl and like ronin said, kirika- CHAN is so CUTE :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

And why the devil don't they have Plushies of SD Kirika-Chan yet!! :bawling:

[tekblade]

ooooomg i wish they did make them, id have one next to my bed:kawaii: maybe if we asked the ppl behind noir they might do it :D

[Ronin Aquila]

And Altena Punching Bags/Effigies. She deserves it for hurting Kirika-Chan. :p

[Yurimitsu]

................Kirirka is an assassin... i think.. that rules out any possibility of her being a child or cute......cool..yes.. kicks ass...yes...cute....noo...(cute would rather imply she is a giggling school girl...which is very far from what she is......).....


"....harbinger of death.."...DEATH!!!!!!!

[Ronin Aquila]

No, more cute in the sense that she is the sad, soft, vulnerable type you just want to hug and protect. :bawling: :kawaii:

[Yurimitsu]

............. but she's not vulnerable.. she's an assassin...... and soft?... what she has a contract with Avon?.... and sad?... sad can mean only one thing... pathetic .... and i don't think that's exactly what you want to imply..... Kirika's hardly the sailormoon-chick type.... besides.. and protect?.. i think she can do that on her own.... I think you are seeing things that aren't there... besides the quality you describe seem to be more about a girl who just ended a relationship .... but what do i know...





......".... the two harbingers of death......"............

[Ronin Aquila]

Of course she can physically protect herself, that much is for certain. ;)

But when it comes to her tender, and often hurt emotions however, she definitely needs one huge and comforting Huggy-Huggy, which I would be more than willing to give. :kawaii:

Don't cry, Kirika-Chan!! Ronin-Onichan still loves you!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

not without me too !!!! :lol: kirika doesnt hafta be like them giggling girls to be cute. shes cute in her own way that we see her in. shes like a lil lost child pushed into following steps she isnt too clear on. we're just there to help her to be at ease and feel loved :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Kirika-Chan's sad gentleness makes her more vulnerable and elegant, and in effect, much more downright adorable than laughing Genki-Genki-Twits ever will be. :kawaii:

[Neojin]

I love Kirika because to me...she = Lain who snaped while watching Matrix one night and went uber Soldat :D

Heres my little work devoted to her:
Kirika Sig (http://www.anihina.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=000019)

[Ronin Aquila]

Aww, she's just so elegant in that pic. :kawaii:

[Yurimitsu]

.............. just saying that cute isn't exactly the best word to describe her.... so far everything else that you have used to describe her is ok.. just not a fan of the word "cute"... uuhhh.. trust me you don't want to know....plus again the whole sailoor moon chick implication.... and i guess the animators did a good job putting emtion into...

[Yurimitsu]

.............Kirika... i mean............

[Ronin Aquila]

At the very least, she is so sweet, vulnerable, and downright pitiable that you just want to hold her forever and ever. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

i wish i could make a kirika sig and put it here ooooooh thatd be so nice :D

[hGh]

hmm... what do you mean by "kirika sig" ?

[Ronin Aquila]

One of those "Rectangular Advertising Thingies" that appear in every post you make should you programme it so. ;)

[hGh]

aka avatar ? :p

Oh! And to stay on topic. Kirika-chan is toooo cute ! :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Glad to see you acknowledging the truth. :kawaii:

[Serekith]

I find it hard to believe that anyone could not acknowledge the truth of Kirika-chan's cuteness. It is undeniable to all who have been lucky enough to have their sight blessed by her sweet face. :)

[Ronin Aquila]

Kirika-Chan is the ultimate proof that having a little sister is a wonderful thing. :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Really Makes Me Wish I Had One!! :bawling:

[Serekith]

Ok, having a little sister like Kirika might be pretty good, but a little sister like the one I have is NOT exactly a very good thing. Believe me.

If only all little sisters could be like Kirika. (sigh).

[Ronin Aquila]

If I had a little Sister Like Kirika-Chan, I would take her out to the park for Ice-Cream every day, help her do her homework, watch TV with her, and tuck her in every night. :kawaii:

[Dryden-san]

I would tuck her in, wait until she was asleep, then smother her with a pillow. Because having the best assasin in the world as a little sister would be extremely disturbing. Because, you know no matter how good a relationship you have with your little sister, there are going to be times when you hate each others' guts. If you have an ordinary sister (like mine), this means you have to listen to her shout at you constantly for half an hour straight. If Kirika-chan is your sister, it means you and your entire circle of friends will be murdered in your sleep. And God help you when it's that time of the month.

I can't believe this is the longest thread in the entire bloody forum. Hell yes, she's cute! But she's got to be one of the least interesting characters in the series.

...Never mind. Just... Get on with your Kirika-chan lovefest, or whatever makes you happy. Don't pay any attention to the bitter Altena fan sulking in the corner.

[hGh]

hahaha... do I sense a certain biterness in your voice :p ? Anyway, Kirika would not kill her relatives even if she does get mad. Well in Kirika's case, I think she would be frustrated and sad, I can't imagine her actually beeing mad. Remember how she tried to stop Chloe and Mireille from killing one another, she tried to stop it as long as she could. So there, get your geloucy induced
"smother her with a pillow" thoughts out of your head.

[Ronin Aquila]

I goddamn know what feminazis that real sisters can be. For 20 f^cking years of my 21 f^cking years life. :ssj:

Precisely why I would like someone as sweet and adorable as Kirika-Chan as my sister instead. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

yup, id just like to hold her hand and walk around and talk :Dboth of us can talk about each others day andprobs, and go out for some sweets. ah thatd make my day :D

[Dryden-san]

Trust me, your sister doesn't have to be a 'feminazi,' to be to a complete b*tch. And I still think Kirika would try to kill you at some point since no siblings in existence have ever gone more than a few weeks without fighting about something, I don't care how sweet she is. For the record, I'm not bitter because Kirika is a more popular character than Altena. Anyone with half a brain could have predicted the kawaii assassin would beat the evil schemer in a popularity contest. I just can't believe this thread has gone on for 39 pages. Meanwhile, the thread about the history of Altena's plans languishes for lack of discussion.

Well, maybe I am a little jealous... :p Still... 39 pages?

[Ronin Aquila]

Does your sister, good sir, make you question your own masculinity, nay, your very humanity?

Hence you see, any alternative like Kirika-Chan is absolutely lovely. :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Now thanks to the Melbourne University Printing Room, on Thursday the 6th of June, 2002, at 7:50 Melbourne, Australian Time....

.... I am the proud owner of a Kirika-Chan T-Shirt!! :kawaii:

Yay!! Yay!! Yay!! :kawaii: :kawaii: :kawaii:

Yosha!! Yosha!! Yosha!! :kawaii: :kawaii: :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Oh,

"and may the glory of this thread go on and on for another 40 pages, and forever more!!" :kawaii: :kawaii: :kawaii:

Hmm, we really need a new perspective from which to explore the cuteness of Kirika for another 40 pages, its hard, but I hope it'll come to us eventaully.

[Ronin Aquila]

Oh it won't, for her sheer adorability is as infinite as the stars themselves. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

omg a kirika tshirt !!! :kawaii: ohhh i want one also :lol: !!! i dont have any software to make them nor any good pics :( can you take a shot of it? must look nice :D

[Excession]

You know, I think this thread may be some sort of record. Its like an energizer battery; it keeps going and going.

Congratulations Aquila, your obsession has now reached 40 pages of posts.

[Ronin Aquila]

You're contribution was not small either, Mr Excession.

Many thanks, good sir. Many thanks indeed. :kawaii:

[hGh]

Okey I have an idea how to get this thread rolling again. You know, Kirika will eventually grow up, and if she does not continiue his assasin career what proffession will she take, what would suit her cutness well :D. I am currently uninspired so I'll post my thoughts on that later.

[Ronin Aquila]

Oh, I got two!! :kawaii:

How about a kindergarten teacher or a warm smiling police lady who works at kindergarten crossing points? :kawaii:

[hGh]

I got one too. How about a singer(not in a popmusic singer type), but a professional respected singer ? I am not sure about the style, but I think she would pick the right one. I bet with the right music and the cutness combined would give an extraordinary preformance.

[hGh]

Oh, now it hit me ! In my oppinion, music wise, she would make a perfect violinist, preferably solo, accompanied by piano. That would be so her :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Or an actress. :kawaii:

[hGh]

I am not sure about the actress part, I think she just doesn't have the personality that would be required for acting. But if she were to put all that skill she has with firearms into a musical instrument, then she could probably do really wonderful things.

[Ronin Aquila]

Or a violin, as befitting her princesslike image. :kawaii:

[hGh]

Indeed, after all, accuracy is very important when playing violin, a finger a few millemeters in the wrong place and the sound isn't really what it is sopposed to be.

But a violin would really suit h
