[heerogf]

what's everyone fave character??? i have a feeling most ppl will say kirika but i'll ask anyway, chloe is actually my fave character, i fell inlove with her ever since the first ep i saw her in, she is the coolest YO! :cool: i love her outfit, her hair, her fork :lol: everything!!

btw, kirika is my second fave character and she is on the top 20 character in the recent issue of animage magazine ^_^

[LonelyDevil]

lol there aren't many characters to pick from ...

anyways ^^ .. ya I like chloe better .. i don't know why . but i just do ...

[scanned]

I like Mireille because she's the most "down-to-earth" type of them.

I like Kirika-chan, because she's the cutest of three (naturally).

I like Chloe, because she's so cool and fearless, and she has the nicest outfit yet.


I can't really pick one, so I'll pick three instead. =)

[heerogf]

hehee, i know, this is a hard topic, since all 3 have reasons for us to love ^_^

[Darklightz]

My favorite character is Prince Myshkin!


:lol: Just kidding.My fav is Chloe.She's got the cloak,the knives and the attitude.What's not to love? :D

[Panzer]

CHLOE CHLOE CHLOE! i love the eyes and the cape! her hair is cool too

[Jaylah_Mae]

Chloe. =)

[Excession]

Sadly, I must be rather unoriginal and claim Kirika-chan as my favorite. She has a greater degree of depth than the other characters in Noir and sports the 'cute' factor.

I do find Mireille very attractive, more so than Kirika in fact, but she was not so well engineered as a character.
For pure and undiluted foxiness I feel Shaori deserves mention. I just love the way she looks! ;)

I wonder which character might be Ronin's favorite? :p

[tekblade]

hmm if you visit the kirika is so cute thread youll find out :D if you did already ignore this :heh:

[Excession]

Ah, sorry for the confusion...I am just loathe to add the <sarcasm> </sarcasm> tabs as they have always struck me as a little too blatant.
But in this case, feel free to imagine the question about Ronin placed squarely between them. :)

[Andy00]

My favorite is Mireille.

A strong woman who thinks about what she's gonna do, and then does it.

She rocks.

[Takara]

I already said Mireille rox but I guess I'll vote again (sure, why the heck not).


MI-RE-IYUUUU~


She seems natural in a way I find almost inexplicable... It was tough decision on my part though.

[Excession]

Have you seen Ronin's picture of her in a catgirl suit yet?
It was almost enough to change my mind...neko kawaii.

[Poseur]

I like Kirika. I like the way she said "Yosho". So kawaii.

But I do not like her other personality. The one which makes her eyes smaller.

[thedarkmarine]

Karika, then the blonde, then that crazy knife girl.

DOODE!! "that crazy knife girl" have a name ok?? it's chloe...can u say that?? chloe~~~ ::stick it in TDM's head:: ^__^

[Takara]

Yup, I've seen Mireille in cosplay... but my favorite picture is from, Les deux vierges, the new Noir book. :inlove: Too bad I don't have the full image.

[jetalone]

:inlove:

I've seen that book for sale at Tamarket....... decisions, decisions.

Anyhoo, Chloe, Kirika and Mireille for me, with Altena a distant second.

Eek. Looks like she just woke up and forgot to put on her kilo of makeup.

[Ronin Aquila]

I love you Kirika-Chan!! You are just the cutest thing in the whole wide world!! :kawaii:

Don't cry, I will protect you. :kawaii:

Now everybody together!!

Ki-ri-ka-ka!! Ki-ri-ka-ka!! Ki-ri-ka-ka!! Ki-ri-ka-ka!! "kawaii:"

[tekblade]

hehe Ki-ri-ka-ka!! Ki-ri-ka-ka!! Ki-ri-ka-ka!! Ki-ri-ka-ka WOooo :lol:

[Ronin Aquila]

Yay!! :kawaii:

[Takara]

Ah, for as much as I love that pic, I'm glad Noir doesn't have much fanservice, anime is much better that way.

Butters- Make up? My lovely Mireille wears make-up? Not much, I'd say. She doesn't need it anywa~y....



: pitches in on Kirika kawaii chant : :D


BEWARE SOLDATS!

That is to say, I hope, irrelevantly unnecessary sexuality? :D

Also, watch your back to anybody who draws sexually degrading doujinshis involving Kirika-Chan. ;)

Now, if its consensual, loving sex, and she's happy and fulfilled as a result, I'm fine. ;)

But the stomach of the author (if I ever catch him) will meet the business end of my samurai sword if he dares to have her raped, beaten, bonded or inhaling a man. :mad2:

Oh belive me, a live bladed stainless steel specimen can be easily accquired at The Queen Victoria Market of Melbourne in Australia for a very reasonable price of $120 dollars Australian. :D And I have. :kawaii:

A post on the Noir Ezboards has regretfully confirmed the production of such filth involving Kirika-Chan being defiled by two thugs in a Chicago Alleyway. The author had better pray for his sake that I do not ever find out where he lives and what he looks like. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

if ya find him ill help ya out :D i got some wooden bokuto around and a wooden kodachi :kawaii:

[Excession]

I must admit that I harbor a great dislike toward the way in which people defile characters.
People who comment on, for example, Ayanami's breasts are nothing more than pathetic and shallow. They attempt to taint her pure image and perfection with their foul and dirty thoughts!
She is unaffected, as nothing could even manage such an evil feat, but should not be subjected to it regardless! I do not dwell on the money I had to hand over to Jason so he could buy a new DVD; I was right and fully justified in destroying the utter filth that was his NGE hentai tape. He forced me to watch it, and it did not withstand my wrath.

Ronin? I like Kirika, and see that you appreciate her in much the same ways I do Ayanami. I can relate to it, and feel your threats are justified in every sense, bar that of the foul-minded lust that so many give in to.

I own two heron-mark swords (for those who know the WoT series of books) and attend lessons from time to time. Provided they are not too phallic, may I help you in your righteous quest for justice?

Of course you may, fellow warrior.

And concerning the phallic nature of all our weapons, nothing wrong with a little masculinity now and then, is there? :D

And we'll be sure to contact Mister Tekbalde as soon as our crusade commences, won't we? :D

Also, by the way.

A) What nationality is your weapon? Katana? Broadsword? Cavalry Sabre? ETC? :confused:

B) What is WoT? :confused:

:heh: Do pardon my ignorance. :heh:

PS.

Anyone who beds our Kirika-Chan won't be automatically condemned to death. We love her, but we are not barbarians. :heh:

However, he had better damn well be prepared to love her, protect her, stay faithful to her, make her happy, respect her and treat her right. :)

Should he fail.... ;)

[Excession]

Thank you kindly, I am honored.

As for the nationality of the weapons...I can only say that they originated in the mind of an author by the name of Robert Jorden (who likes to be called that for some reason...perhaps because his real name is James Oliver Rigby Jr. :P ).

WoT is the short-hand version of the series title from which the sword comes; Wheel Of Time. In any case, I am sure they will suffice for the task at hand.

http://store6.yimg.com/I/greatsword_1662_4729456

The blade is curved slightly, at a similar angle to that of a katana, but is longer.

By the way, I think that perhaps we should consider some other tactic (slower, more painful, yes?) for use in the case of artists who involve tentacles in their foul works. They do, after all, deserve special treatment. :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Hey, this form of Katana is uncannily similar to that of Van Fanel's in Visions of Escaflowne!!

To die by that sword. Ouch. :D

[daniel480]

Indeed it does. Looks similar to Van and Allen's katana actually ..
hence, the intresting mixture of a traditional oriental katanablade with medieval highlights.

[Ronin Aquila]

Imagine our Darling Kirika-Chan weilding one of these elegant works of cross-cultural weaponary art... :kawaii:

Sighs... :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Hmm, as for the Tentacle Artist...

A) Shove a dynamite down his throat and shove a lighter up his butt. :kawaii:

B) Shove a sausage down his throat and shove starving dogs up his butt. :kawaii:

And best of all

C) Shove seals down his throat and shove starving sharks up his butt. :kawaii:

My I have way too much free time on my hands. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

heh id help any time :D heh i like your plans but the evil ways of torturing them ppl in me head are way too evil :lol: involves a blade and the cutting of something :heh: btw excession kick ass blades, i have wooden sword, something like karou's in rk and a kodachi both out of wood. its gunna be fun huntin down them ppl :D

That would truly be a sight to see!
Phalic though they may be, I find the swords quite attractive and elegant; most suited to Kirika-chan.

Perhaps we could contract an AB fanartist to bring the vision to life?

[Ronin Aquila]

Then put her in Van Fanel's costume... just too kawaii. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hmmm i kinda like to see that, maybe i could whip something up, i draw a tad bit but ill see :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Thanx mate. :D

[tekblade]

[tekblade]

[Ronin Aquila]

Hope you were not caught by the teacher doing so, mate!! :kawaii:

[tekblade]

lol :lol: naw we had a sub and all she did was face the board trying to solve the probs on the worksheet my teach left :D

[Ronin Aquila]

That's the spirit, boy!! :D :kawaii:

[tekblade]

heh it was funny today we had her again and 2 guys were playing with a bunsen burner :lol: and she didnt even notice :D thought it was funny till she finally caught them and gave them a warning and all and they stopped oh well :lol:

hmm well i drew the pic, harder than i thought, doesnt look the best but its the best i can do at my level :D go kirika in van's outfit :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

Aww. :kawaii:

That's so cute. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe thanks, but i think i made her body too unproportional with her head :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

Aww, that's okay. Big heads and small bodies are more cuddly anyways. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe thats true :D heres a cute pick of kirika :D i thought it was so cute and took a screen

[Ronin Aquila]

Kirika-Chan!! :kawaii: Want Ronin-Oniichan to buy you some icecream? :kawaii:

[tekblade]

[Ronin Aquila]

I'll get her chocolate mint chip!! :kawaii:

Oh wait, can't forget the low fat version. She'll still be cute and huggable, but we don't want to make her too chubby now, do we? :kawaii:

[tekblade]

lol :lol: yeah we cant have that now :kawaii: also i love mint chocolate chip also, lets all share shall we :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Don't frorget caramel too!! :D

[CPNightmare]

My favorite characters are the random Euro-Guys that get shot up in every episode (random Euro-preistesses in the last ep) cause it wouldnt be a great series without them dying.

j/k, My vote goes to Chloe... too bad she...


****SPOILER****

dies at the end

[tekblade]

mmm caramel :D


hmm it is funny that all them guys do get shot down :heh:

[Aura72]

:lol: You guys are losing it. But who am I to judge?! My favorite is Kirika too! :D

[Ronin Aquila]

As would any romantic heterosexual male. :D

[tekblade]

hehe yep :kawaii:

[Ronin Aquila]

My Darling Kirka-Chan is one of the few positive pieces of evidence in support of an argument that having a baby sister is lovely. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

lol :lol: yeah i kinda always wanted a lil sis, well i do but shes a year younger than me, but i rather have one thats like 7 or 5 so i can talk to her more easier and look out for her, cause i know i can kick anyone's ass who messes with her :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Plus, those who are 5-7 years younger than you will idolise and adore you if you love, protect and hug them enough. :kawaii:

[Takara]

Aura72: You guys are losing it. But who am I to judge?! My favorite is Kirika too
Ronin: As would any romantic heterosexual male.

:lol: You guys just feel threatened by Mireille so you're all looking for someone smaller to protect. Not that Kirika isn't threating, but she does look fragile.

I like all of 'em :p

[Ronin Aquila]

What the devil is wrong with caring for someone that is sweet and lovable as opposed to being lustfully attracted to a male dominating feminazi, sir? ;)

[Excession]

I for one do not feel threatened in any way by Mireille. In fact I find her to be quite attractive, having collected wallpapers featuring her long before I actually had chance to view Noir. She is pretty darn foxy, very well formed and beats Kirika-chan hands down, if the criteria for comparison is largely based upon whom, as a ‘heterosexual male’, I would prefer to jump into a sack with.

That said and out of the way, I can once again firmly restrain the more base and perverse aspects of my human nature, allowing me to appreciate things in ways other than those driven primarily by lust.
I favor Kirika-chan in Noir over Mireille for a number of reasons, not one of which is in any way sexual. I think that in many cases the fact that people show a special regard for Kirika is a testament to how they do not allow their libido to govern their thinking, a trait I find most admirable.

One thing that I find contributes to Kirika’s appeal is her seemingly greater depth of character. Her past is a mystery, that being one of the main focuses of the anime itself and thus a rather highly developed plot element, whereas Mireille’s past, while not known immediately, is not nearly so enigmatic or interesting.
Mireille also seems able to take care of herself, after all she has been an assassin long enough to become known as a ‘reliable contract killer’ and seems to be well set up from the beginning. Kirika-chan is in starkly different circumstances, however. She is faced with a hostile world, not knowing why she is hunted or who hunts her, and has no memory of herself or her previous way of life. She is in need of help and comfort, both of which I (as well as many others, so it seems) would very much like to see her receive.
We become emotionally involved with her, wanting to see her happy, her suffering brought to an end. All I felt for Mireille was a little pity near the end of the series, because she was cast out of the ‘group’ and left with nothing. Even then she seemed to be fairly well in control of herself and her circumstances, bargaining with Soldats and finding the village without incident. She was independent and able to take care of herself (I refer to daily life and personal management, as she does become entrapped a few times during the series), Kirika was less so.

I also felt that Kirika’s voice acting was of a slightly higher quality than Mireille’s. Do not take this wrongly, I thought Mireille’s VA was brilliant, and most of the voices in the series fit well with the characters they had been attached to, but Kuwashima Houko really excelled. She put emotion into every sigh, and thankfully did not lend herself to screaming or whimpering in the overly pathetic manner that many characters tend to when suffering or in pain.

Oh, and of course Kirika-chan is just Kawaii! :kawaii: *tickles his new avatar under the chin*

[Ronin Aquila]

She is like a kitty cat, isn't she? :kawaii:

You've seen the fanart with her having cat ears too, right? :kawaii:

[Excession]

Yes, like a cute little kitten, with big innocent eyes. Shivering a little, and cold...looking at your pleadingly, as if begging you to pick her up, take her inside where it is warm and give her a big cuddle.

:kawaii:

As for the fanart depicting Kirika-chan wearing kitty-ears no, I have yet to view it. I have seen the picture in which Mireille was in a cat-suit (she looked very nice there, but thats not what you mean, is it?
Perhaps you could provide me a URL, or simply some idea of what to search for in order to locate this picture of neko-Kirika.

[Ronin Aquila]

With her snuggling next to your face as you reclind on you old couch beside a gently crackling fireplace, coacoa in one hand, other hand hugging her affectionately. :kawaii:

[Excession]

Almost exactly as I pictured it too, so blissfully sweet.
Great minds and all that. ;)

Oh, by the way, I edited my previous post after you replied to it, so you may have missed what I added. Mainly it regards my not yet having had the pleasure of viewing the picture you talked of.

[Ronin Aquila]

Well, I found it on the Ezboards Noir Discussion Forums. :kawaii:

Look hard though, its located in a link on an old thread that has been pushed back by many a new thread. :heh:

[tekblade]

hrmm id like to seet pic also, i think ive seen it idont remember my memory is kinda bad :lol: kirika is like a person you wanna be with to care for since all the ordeals excession has said. thats what draws all of us to her, since we wanna look out for her :D

[Ronin Aquila]

Or just admire her adorable face as she takes a nap under a shade, on a bright and sunny day. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

hehe thatd be heaven, id just sit and watch over her as she napped :D maybe make her breakfast hehe but i cant cook so :heh:

[Ronin Aquila]

Never too late to learn something for those whom you love. :kawaii:

[tekblade]

yup no task too hard if your doing it for someone you care for :D

[Ronin Aquila]

With love you'll be the best cook in the whole world. ;)

And I bet Kirika-Chan's cooking would therefore be fitting for a feast of Kings, would it not? :kawaii:

[Takara]

Ronin:

Lustfully attracted? Hell, I’m young. I’m not a complete mush-ball yet.
Male dominating feminazi? Altena maybe. Mireille, never.


Actually, that just put some thoughts in my head and to this I say, Mireille can violate my rights any time!

Mireille: Do Kirika’s homework! *whip crack*
<--: Yes Mistress!
Mireille: Nitwit! You answered all her literature questions wrong!
<--: B-b-but she insisted on doing tho--
Mireille: Silence!
++
Mireille: Those Soldats creeps are lurking around the house again. Go kill them!
<--: Yes Mistress!
Mireille: I said kill them, not get yourself killed!
<--: Ugh, dying…
++
Mireille: Why don’t we *censored for things that cannot be posted*
<--: ::drool::
Mireille: Good, looks like you aren’t completely worthless after all.

Dominatrix Mireille with the [censored]-less, [censored]-less vinyl getup…
But to be honest I’d prefer French Maid Mireille.

Yep, I’ve lost it now. At least I’m censoring myself.

Excession you windbag, I just said I like them all, meaning Kirika too.

:D :D :D

oh my, oh my :rolleyes: , are you sure you won't regret that post once your mind is somewhat clearer ? Though its a good thing you are censoring yourself :p

[Ronin Aquila]

How can you find self inserting fanfics of you being humiliated more fun than fics in which you kill people you hate?

Believe me, it is much more theraputic to symbolically destroy those who have done you wrong, for you'll go to jail in real life if you do it literally. Your suppressed rage and grief can be healthily released. ;)

Writing fanfics about killing those whom you hate is therefore the most theraputic form of writing in this peaceful day and age. ;)
