Paradise Kiss 2

[timepiececlock]

Two episodes in, and I'm seriously crushing on Paradise Kiss. Episode 2 was even more interesting than episode 1. Unless it spontaneously nosedives I think I'll be downloading all 12 or 13 episodes as they come out.

You know how one scene can cement your interest in a series? The scene in this episode where character A walks in on characters B and C damn near doing it on a pool table. Great scene. I'm so going to love this anime.

My only complaint still comes back to the use of super-deformed characters. The characters go SD at weird and unpredictable places, and mostly it feels off. For SD to be funny, it has to be well-timed and mesh with the moment. They keep missfiring on that. However, that's a very small aspect and certainly doesn't detract from my overall enjoyment.



It is no longer a theory, it is a fact: George is the love child of Shigure and Ayame Sohma. There's no other explanation. He's got Ayame's looks, fashion sense (well, he is a designer), self-confidence, and show-off nature. Balanced by Shigure's calmness of presence (George is clearly not hyperactive) and coolly manipulative nature. George handles people, just like Shigure does. But just like with Shigure, so far it doesn't seem a bad thing, or mean that he's unreliable or insincere. Just something to be a little cautious of. And of course there's the raging bisexuality, which of course comes from both! ::snicker::

Since Yukari asked George if he was old enough to drive and he said he got his liscence a few days before, I looked up the driving age in Japan. It's 18 years, which makes him the same age as Yukari, more likely a few months younger since she was already 18 herself. They've animated him to make him look older, though, especially with his outfits.

I didn't like the pink haired girl in the first episode, but I really liked her in this one. Guess I was off the mark about the blond guy having a little crush on Yukari. Way, way, off.

DO the Alters have the same names? I was sort of having Ed trying to avoid people inthis. He's nervous about having his brother there, and wants to leave the country ASAP. He's sorting for Alphonse Heinrich's stuff. Does Heinrich have a family? I know he was dying of Turbuculosis, and worked with Obreth.

Are theri pictures of the appartment he lived in? Heh, can;t down loard the movie with my Mac so I have no idea what things look like. Has anyone posted screne caps?

Thank you again for the help!

Most of the alters seem to have similar or same names. We only learn Gracia and Hughes' first name. Bradley/Pride has a different name; can't remember it now.

I'm sorry, I don't really have time to answer any more questions for you. But I encourage you to ask someone else (try fm_alchemist), or to read in-depth analyses online and screencaps (I've not looked for any myself).

Thank you for the advice. I will certianly look into it. I am sorry to have kept you so busy with all these questions. I understand what it is like having little time. Having three children and a busy household, I seldom any time to myself! Anyhow, thanks again. Take care!

YOu're welcome. One more thing I just realized that I told you wrong-- we learn Gracia's first name, and Hughes' last name, not first name.
