The sluttily cool Ending Theme "Himegoto."

[Ronin Aquila]

Ah, yes, Himegoto, the ending theme of Vandread 1st season. The images of the ending sequence showcase of Gonzo's girl craziness. :lol:

And is it just me, or does the song sound like its sung by a 15 year old girl simultaneously trying to flirt with a 25 year old man and groping herself to orgasm? :heh:

Slutty or not, its still a cool ending sequence and song. :D

:goof: hmmm *goes to listen to it* hey... :goof: it does sound like that doesn't it? :goof: .............. *shakes head*

[Cyfith]

It sounds like pr0n BGM to me.

[Frank_kun]

Kinda a mix of comedy and fanservice - least that's what I thought when I saw it. The SD Hibiki running through those sexy scenes is just hilarious - especially when he lays eyes on Jura in that "red light" crimson background :lol:

[Darklightz]

Lol,it's funny when he throws the girls away.And what?Did you expect an anime about a ship full of kawaii girls without some fan service?

[tekblade]

lol :lol:

[Frank_kun]

I pretty much discerned that from the probably now-famous scene in episode 1 of first season where Hibiki cops the only feel on Dita's chest he gets all series...and he doesn't know what he's grabbing...:lol:

That and Jura is a 24/7 fanservice bombshell. She's worse than Misato sometimes, and she doesn't even try, which is the scary part.

Edit- almost forgot, in a funny moment, I was playing on a public server for CounterStrike (I play as [HDC]Hibiki_Tokai) and I was the last counter terrorist left in the round. I was getting ready for a shootout and one of the terrorist guys yelled "hey Hibiki, how's Dita in the sack?". I laughed....but I let go of the button I was using to crouch, and promptly got shot in the head. Bahhh...

[Darklightz]

Lol.If anyone plays Utopia,I am Sir Hibiki Tokai of Valley of Vandread (our kingdom themes are Valleys)

Yeah,I remember that in episode 1 as well.And little innocent Dita didn't seem to mind.In fact she scared the heck out of Hibiki :lol:

[tekblade]

lol i wish i could see that :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

What about the scene when she wanted to see what his "antenna" looked like? The innocence in that was truly adorable. :kawaii:

[DNA_Master]

don't forget, Hibiki and Dita have had other "touching" moments.... when in about the 4th ep of Vandread 2, dita is climbing a ladder ahead of Hibiki.... and she stops.. hes not looking where hes going and ends up shoving his face in her backside... and she smiles and blushes a bit.. obviously she enjoyed that.

[Frank_kun]

Frankly, my favorite Hibiki/Dita moments come at the last episodes of both seasons. In both, you get some nice moments between the two that help reinforce perceptions of them discovering intergender love.

But as for scenes like the Hibiki cop-a-feel, my favorite has to be in episode 10 of first season, when we see Cel out of that bear suit for the first time and Hibiki stumbles in by mistake and smashes his face on her rear. There's a nice "dramatic comedic" pause in which you see the complete shot of where Hibiki landed - I had to pause it to see just how many outfits Cel had.....geeez. I don't think even real-life cosplayers have that many costumes, though I'm sure the Cel character was sort of a poke at that.

[Ronin Aquila]

What about wigs? Most cosplayers I know just stick to one wig and work all their costumes around it for the rest of their cosplaying career.

[tekblade]

hmmm who knows :lol: some ppl dont use wigs and just stick strictly to the custome. thye prob just do their hair style to match the character their trying to cosplay but i havent seen anyone with wigs. i saw some with helmets though :D

[Foxxe]

I just saw it for the first time five minutes ago on AXN. COOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!

[Ronin Aquila]

AXN of which country? For there was not even a single trace of advertisment for telecasted Vandread in Taiwan as of yet.

Wait a second, has American TV become this open minded towards multiculturalism in media? Or has it? :confused.

[DNA_Master]

First of all... what is AXN?

Secondly... WHY THE HELL DO THE YANKS GET EVERYTHING FIRST?!??!?

and thirdly... WHY THE HELL DOES IT TAKE SO LONG FOR EVERYTHING TO COME TO AUSTRALIA?

*waa* want more vandread....

[tekblade]

lol :lol: well i just saw pics of ppl doing cosplay and stuff. i remember one girl who cosplayed, and i must say she liked pretty damn fine :D my friend told me theres one coming up and him and his sis are gunna go, well he aint sure. the thing is its 20 us. dollars addmission. i mean damn and that just lets you in. then there are going to be high prices for anime stuff since ppl love to crank anime type stuff to the roof. oh well, but still i cant complain that we at least have them, though i wish i could go

[Foryth]

Back on the topic of the song, i've seen some videoclips from the artists who did this song.(SiLC, a band composed of two people, the guy who does the music and Miki the singer) It did sorta look a bit slutty but nothing too much, at least she wears more clothes than Britney Spears. Just a little bit 'sensual', not in a slutty way like our teeny boppers.

[Ronin Aquila]

Those anime-hating Bible lickers ought to take a look at Britney, and then think twice about daring to say that only the Japanese sexualise their minors in media. :mad2:

[tekblade]

lol :lol: yeah, and i remember a while ago britney says she doesnt wanna be a sex model, cough cough bs cough after all that stuff she does i wonder why no one complains about her :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Because she's white and anime girls are not!! :mad2:

Racist bible licking housewives got nothing to do so go and pick on anything asian why don't they all just go and get raped. :mad2:

[Cyfith]

Bravo. You have just proven yourself to be as intolerant as the people you criticize.

Careful with that "rape" comment Aquilla. You're going to offend a lot of women.

[Ronin Aquila]

You know, as an Asian, its very hard not to dislike (to use a mild word) overly zealous Christians.

A case to support my dislike of them occured in the second last week before the end of last semester in 2001, in Literature Class. The discussion was on the omnipotence of Yawey, the Hebrew-Judaeo-Christian God.

I did not openly criticise his teachings that day. All I said in defense of my culture's validity in the international scheme of things was:

"Why would Yaweh's teachings apply to Asians? After all, the bible only said he created the Hebrews. Who is to say that he created us Asians as well?"

Snap, Crackle and Pop, a narrow minded God Fearing Girl Promptly stood up and took over the theature, lecturing how my race was doomed to go to hell before the Brits waltzed in with their ships of iron, for we did not have Jesus in our hearts. I retorted:

"Does this justify poisoning us with opium and raping our women?"

She stood dumbfounded for a moment, and then ignoring the truth I stated continued with her attempt at converting me to loving Jesus.

I repeated my ultimantum, several times I might add. She then resorted to "God moves in mysterious ways" and "It was Satan at work, not God" to justify the opium war.

See how easy it is to hate pusbags like her? :(

[Cyfith]

I can sympathizeyphatize with you. However, it's the generalization that I don't like. From your statement it seemed you were generalizing that all white girls were like that and the "rape" comment didn't help either.

[Ronin Aquila]

I'm sorry for not being too clear on this. :(

I was condemning those housewives who are so scared of Yaweh that they hate people who don't follow his teachings word for word.

That is to say:

Asians. (For not being white enough).

Martial Artists. (For promoting the beauty of Eastern Culture)

Anime Fans (See Previous Two Reasons)

Buddhists (See Previous Three Reasons)

Players of "Dungeons And Dragons" and other RPGS (For "worshipping Satan?" Bull Crap!!)

Readers of JRR Tolkien (See Above)

Readers of "Harry Potter (See Above)

Any Minority Group: (For not worshipping Yaweh)

What is more is that there are some who put in the effort of making rallies against the hobbies mentioned above (including Anime), join the KKK to put their hatred of racial minorities into application, try to outlaw Martial Arts outright (Die, B!tches!!) and even make entire websites to spread their hatred across the world like foul butter over moldy bread.

(Look under "Anti-Dungeons and Dragons" on Yahoo and you'll see exactly what I mean.)

Then guess what? They act all pure and righteous in front of their husbands and sons, and behind their backs get impregnated with the love child of the neighbourhood plumber because they are so bored with their equally God Fearing spouses.

In summary. My contempt is not to white girls at all (In fact I'm in love with one). My hatred is reserved for those Bored Christian Housewives who think being white and wearing a cross gives them the badge to say being Asian is a sin.

Take Care Brothers an sisters. :(

[Cyfith]

Just ignore those people. Remember that idiots are much more vocal compared to other people.

Also, which school did you attend? I'm surprised you didn't file a lawsuit.

[Ronin Aquila]

Thank you, Mr/Ms Cyfith. I'll put your advice to some thought.

Anyway, as of this year I will be a Third Year Literature and Film Theory Student at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

And yes, I have a short temper, which even I am ashamed of. :(

[Frank_kun]

Well, I picked up the first DVD yesterday..I must say, seeing the ending theme for first season puts a whole new spin on fanservice when its in digital-quality DVD...:lol:

I'm currently hooking some friends into the series, and seeing the Jura shots in that sequence will probably make more than a few noses bleed...

[Ronin Aquila]

Such a pity that the fansubs have that sequence so blurry, isn't it.

Anyway, once again, I formally apologise for my extremely unnecessary remark on the previous page. Though admittedly I cannot promise to change my temper, that particular misdemeanour will not happen again. :(

[tekblade]

well i guess you couldnt help it, everyone has their own ideas and passion, so i guess it was kinda hold back. any how, im still happy with my vandread fansubs :D

[DNA_Master]

Yes. Blurry fansubs are better than no fansubs. At least second-stage is in brilliant quality.

so tell me Frank_Kun, what is the english dubbing like? I need to know so I can start putting money away for when Vandread gets to tasmania in about a year and a half, most likely... damn americans snapping everything up.


and bible-bashers ARE quite hypocritical. Its very easy (and cowardly) to just say "god made it so" "act of god" "god moves in mysterious ways" whenever you have something unexplained, but it takes guts to explain an opposing viewpoint. Good job Ronin Aquilia, keep bashing the bible-bashers.

and they arn't exactly innocent themselves... a few years ago there was a big thing in Australia about priests "doing over" little boys in their parishs.

besides, J-girls are better looking than most western girls I've seen. My sister gave me a Japanese girl's magazine that she got off a friend who got it off an exchange student, and I must say that the girls in there are VERY kawaii... especially the ones in traditional dress. *nosebleed* ack by nosd...

[Ronin Aquila]

Thanks, guys.

Anyway, there are no hybrid (for the lack of a more polite word) in the world more beautiful than half-Japanese girls. I can pay testament to that for the aforementioned girl that I love is Australian/Japanese.

By the way, did I mention she looks like and is as sweet as Yomiko Readman from "Read Or Die" ? :kawaii:

[Cyfith]

Read or Die 3 was just released BTW... on DVD ^_^;;

It should hit the internet in a week.

[Ronin Aquila]

OMYGODICAN"TWAIT!! :D :kawaii:

Wow. I've been thinking, that the perfect-looking girl should me "a mix" of japanese and european blood (that also covers N-America and Australia btw :P). Ronin, got some pictures of your sweetheart? =)

[Ronin Aquila]

Not yet. For you see, as far as she's concerned, we are as of yet (still very good) buddies. The catch is, I've not told her I like her "that" much yet.

Also, she is one of those regrettably few sweet girls out there. Really don't want to scare her off by revealing the truth out too early, do I?

However, I will endeavour to be in a photograph with her within the next year. Until then I apologise for being unable to comply to your request. :heh:

[scanned]

Hah, no problem. Good luck to you! I wish I 'd have someone like that here.

[Ronin Aquila]

Thank you, sir. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe :D hope you manage to catch her hehe, yeah itd be nice to have a girl thats half japanese. you could ask her to translate stuff for you :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Well, she's born and raised in Australia, so she dosen't really speak a word of it. So I'll jsut enjoy her pleasant and adorable company. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

ahhh, well thats still good :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

(Sort of) Going back on topic.

This girl is the reason why I love girls with glasses so much. (Parfait is a close second on my list of fav Vandread Girls).

And being so sweet makes her a combination of Ezra-Oneechan and Parfait. She's so perfect!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

:lol: you are so lucky :D wish i could meet her :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Come along to Melbourne when you can and we'll see. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

if i ever get the cash to come :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Do bring a warm wooly jumper and an umbrella. It gets suddenly cold without warning on most days. For as the famous difinite song of Melbourne goes:

"Four seasons in one day." :kawaii:

[tekblade]

:lol: ill keep that in mind when i come on buy :D its like here too, one day its so nice and warm, the next is fog galore, then the next day rain, then rain, then freezing, im used to weird weather patterns :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

Hmm, I thought it was all sunshine upthere, and so hot all the ladies wear tight and revealing clothes like those in "Himegoto." :lol:

[tekblade]

lol :lol: naw, since i live near the bay, i live really close to the ocean which is nice, we have weird weather, and unfortunately the women here dont were such revealing clothing, but rather the revealin, women do wear tight clothing, which really reveals there figure :D but on sunny days the females tend to do wear very small clothing which is pretty tight :D not trying to sound perverse just tellin you the fashion statements :lol:

[scanned]

By the way.. just how far down is Jura unziping her dress? When I first saw it, I just couldn't believe my eyes. =)

[Ronin Aquila]

What was the point of her even wearing one then... :heh:

[tekblade]

hehe :D

[scanned]

Too bad I cant post the screenshots here. Okey, maybe just one...

scanned.galandrex.ee/vandread/shots/jura1.jpg

[tekblade]

wow i forgot how revealin she was in the creds :lol: i bet hibiki sure got an eye full

[Ronin Aquila]

Not to mention a nose full. :lol:

[death]

HEheheh.

I love those SDs

[Ronin Aquila]

But to see Meia of all people in super happy SD is disorienting, to say the least. :heh:

that part was so kawaii!:o

[Vandread]

I just saw the ending theme to Vandread and I must say it's interesting:o Hibiki in front of all those sexy pics of the girls was cool. They were so revealing:D The girls were so curvy and sexy *sigh*. Did I mention the music was good too:)

[Ronin Aquila]

True, it has a marvelous beat to it. :D

[tekblade]

lol :lol: it does :D i like sd hibiki walken

[Ronin Aquila]

Jura was practically trying to Molest Hibiki in and out of the ending sequence.... :heh:

[tekblade]

lol :lol: well she does want him to unite with her and ahem bare a child hehe well at the time i wonder if she still wants to oh well :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

I think it will be just a fling. Anyway, she's pretty much devoted to Barnette to begin with anyway. ;)

[scanned]

Having a girlfriend like Barnette AND having a baby with a man... what else can you wish for?

Jura did want a good-looking Vandread so she may wish for that also. :D

[scanned]

Yeah, Vandread Jura wasn't the mot elegant one, but it was different from others, and made her special, so she was happy with it I think.

[Ronin Aquila]

The most elegant award goes to the sweet lady of ladies, Ezra-Oneechan. :kawaii:

[death]

I dont know.

I think it would go to her partner (GAh! cant remember her name)

[Ronin Aquila]

It think you mean Rebecca.

She's beautiful too, but nowhere as sweet and adorable. ::kawaii:

[ParticleEffect]

arg, none of my 1st stage eps have intros/outros! off to look for what im missing.

[Ronin Aquila]

Skip the second stage songs. They are the only thing dreadful about an otherwise outstanding series. ;)

[scanned]

Ronin, you also mean "Fight for your justice"? Because I personally like the opening theme of 2nd stage a lot more. But of course, the ending theme is another thing, can't really compare anything to "Himegoto".

[Rally]

Anyone know the title of the BGM while Vandread Meia was fighting the fake Nirvana robot in second stage? I believe this is the episode where Gascogne "dies".

[ParticleEffect]

ok, i got the 1st tage into/outro. theyre pretty ok themselfs. dont have the intro suber though ={

but on the topic, the outro, i saw it subbed, so, maybe. but ive heard alot of stuff like that with voice filters and such. but the entire 5 min song i also just heard, but since i dont know whats being said, all i can say is that it sounds nice.

[tekblade]

yup the songs arent that bad, second stage music wasnt that bad :D

[dita chan]

I love Himegoto... it's one of my favorite songs.... *sigh* Second Stage music is good too but to me... First Stage still owns! :D

[DNA_Master]

I have a proper copy of the Second Stage OST..... problem is, its in japanese so I dont know what the songs are called :(

its a good soundtrack to listen to while studying though.

[death]

Ohh. A new avitar DNA..

Suits the climate perfectly.

As for teh Names...

Well i cant really be bothered to look for them now. If no ones told you theres a war going on..

I'm not sure if it okay to post this.. but here is an avvie I made from the end credits of First Stage.. it's too big to use here... but you can hum "Himegoto" while looking at it ;)

[dita chan]

And here is one of my Dita :o Okay, again sorry if I cannot post these here... I just figured since we were talking about "Himegoto " and all ... :heh:

'good doggy' one was made while I was in a very angry mood at our PM...

Hideki one: I'm quite pleased with it... I made it from a couple of screencaps from the Chobits GBA game. Note his hand...

[DNA_Master]

That now, is tres nasum sanguinum. :heh:

Ehehehe...

I wounder if they would let us get away with that.....

[Wolf359]

Lol.If anyone plays Utopia,I am Sir Hibiki Tokai of Valley of Vandread (our kingdom themes are Valleys)

Yeah,I remember that in episode 1 as well.And little innocent Dita didn't seem to mind.In fact she scared the heck out of Hibiki :lol:Tell Sir Hibiki to use magic missiles on Dita--they'll do the trick. :lol:
