Playlist - 1st July 2008 - OVA night

by Dhumahn » Tue Jun 24, 2008 11:20 pm

I think that the last episode of genshiken will go down as one of the most explicit scenes we've ever played.

Now it's time for "more cheese"!!!

This week's playlist will contain:

Dai Mahou Touge 1 Probably.
Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners 2
Lupin III: Stolen Lupin

...enjoy.I can't believe no one picked up on last week's post, lol

"Afro Samurai" had a way more explicit sex scene in it then what happened in "Genshiken". The only reason people were so shocked was the guy on guy factor.

Yeah, I don't see why people would find that episode of Genshiken disturbing at all. It was so freaking hilarious! :lol: Just so funny.

Ouran and The Wallflower - scarred me. 5th episode of Genshiken II - GOLD. :lol:

I have one word about the 'Most explicit sex scene' comment.

Mappy attests a certain scene in a certain episode of Arjuna is more explicit and the most traumatic thing he's ever seen. :lol:

Allow me to elaborate the above post a little....

Earth Girl Arjuna: Episode 9 - "Before Birth"

8m 51s

Cindy: No matter how dense a girl you may be you might as well have a pretty handkerchief to wipe away the tears from a broken heart.
Juna: How rude! It's not like things between Tokio and I are completely over.
Cindy: Have you ever kissed him?
Juna: Uh, of course I have.
Cindy: Did you slip him the tongue?
Juna: Huh? Well, ah....
Cindy: Have you slept with him?
Juna: What.... All of a sudden?!
Cindy: I see. I guess you haven't yet.
Juna: Hey! Don't you be reading my mind like that! Besides, I don't appreciate being talked to like that by some kid!
Cindy: Well, shall I tell you how that would feel?
Juna: Huh? You're kidding! At your age?
Cindy: Hahahahaha.... I guess if I was dense like you I'd wonder what kind of happy life I could have. Didn't I tell you? I can feel everything that happens to me physically before it actually happens. Like picking up someone's thoughts and reading it like a mystery novel, only to be told part way who the culprit is. It's the pits.
Juna: You feel it before it happens....
Cindy: That woman. She knew full well I was in her womb, but she'd go off and sleep with a different man every night.
Juna: Eh?
Cindy: Why would she do such a thing? It's not as if she even liked any of them! She'll think of things, like what to wear the next day, or paying back her loan. She didn't even know whose child I was! Why?! Why?! Why do I feel it so much?! Why is it that it feels so good?!
Juna: Don't tell me you're....
Cindy: I knew what it felt like from before I was born. How could anyone expect that I would grow up normally?
Juna: But....
Cindy: How could a baby in the womb understand anything like that? If you think it's all a lie, then use the ears of your spirit and listen in. Imagine that baby.

11m 38s

This is probably a little flat without the corresponding imagery that goes with the scene. Combine the dialogue with the imagery, though, and Arjuna goes from "the idiot-savant of anime, having a series of philosophical hissy fits" to "wow, shows that get the thumbs up from Eco-Nutters and Social Philosophers are downright creepy, and how the hell did this get licenced without the same hullabaloo that surrounded Kodomo no Jikan".

Other scenes in the episode involved a series of parables on conception, the damaging things that can pass from mother to child during pregnancy, dubious childbirthing techniques and abortion. Put these together and, naturally, you get the one episode of the series that is pulled from the schedule before screening by the networks.

Aren't we so fortunate to have Mappy to save us from such emotional/visual terrorism! :lol:

I have Arjuna on DVD. I wouldn't say that's the most traumatic thing I've seen. In fact it wasn't even traumatic for me at all, or my sisters who both watched it too. At first I was thinking you must be talking about a scene that was cut from my DVD, but it wasn't.

I found the concept tripped my squick wire. Foetal sex just isn't my sort of thing.

It kind of happened in the first Dune novel, now that I think about it. Jessica Atriedes drank the 'Water of Life' when she was pregnant with her second child, Alia. Alia became self-aware of everything and everyone at that moment. Did she grow up to be twisted and misunderstood? Yep! She freaked out everyone but her mother by the time she was one because she knew far too much.

Why am I not surprised Atory has Arjuna on DVD? :roll:

I think the only thing I saw younger than I should have was Basic Instinct when I was 10. :lol: It was on at 9:30pm. I slipped a tape in while my mother was on the phone, pressed record and went and did something else. I had lots of fun later. Now THAT was explicit! :lol: Sharon Stone in her prime - farken bang!

It only had one effect on me - I prefer women being on top. :lol:

We have no new Hellsing Ultimate or Freedom. And Ryan seems Mnemosyne-shy. 8)

The second Garden of Sinners is better than the first. Still farking slow, though. At least it's pretty. And gory. And psycho-killer Shiki is knife-tastic. 8)
