ready to move on

Postby axron27 » Tue Oct 29, 2002 8:48 pm

My feelings for the character Lime of Saber Marionette J cannot be overstated. For my own enjoyment I could make many more anivids of her using tunes from the classical rock of the 70's to the alternative and industrial music of today but I choose not to undermine the quality of Lime's character and make others tired of the sight of this delightful imp. Comedic anime is my favorite form of this genre and the female characters are my favorites. Other characters that have caught my eye are Naaga from slayers and Faye from Cowboy Be Bop. I have 2 episodes of slayers but they predate Naaga's character and I have nothing of Cowboy Be Bop. My knowledge of both characters is based soley on what I've seen in anivideos. before I research and obtain resources as I did for Lime I'd appreciate it if those of you who are familiar with these series could provide me with plot summaries and character descriptions of Faye and Naaga. I'm also a bit curious why Lina fried Naaga in the clip from the 'Cherry Lips' video -I thought they were friends, although I do know that Lina has a short temper and Naaga does seem to be a bit of a neanderthal and dumb as a bag of hammers and I know that Lina hates stupidity-. Also who is that funny looking Welsh Corgy type dog who is seen to bop around vids that feature Faye? One other thing; what's with the redhaired character in the Garbage video that keeps whacking that girl who's wearing the yellow crown? Who is she and why does she keep whacking that apparantly pleasant lady? just curious.
I love Lime

The corgi is called Ein. He's something of a minor character in the series.

If you want a female comedy anime, try (here it comes) "Azumanga Daioh".

Ein huh? would he be Faye's pet, just a tag along or an entity unto himself?

Entity unto himself. He's a genetically-enhanced "data dog", and while he's a good bit smarter than the average dog, he does not exhibit human-level intelligence. He does have moments, though...

Ein was picked up by Spike and Jet, saving him from the clutches of not only a smuggler but also the corporation that created him. Like much of the Bebop crew, they're gathered along the way and along for the ride.

Naga is Lina's arch-enemy/travelling partner/friend-who-doesn't-admit-it. They always seem to end up on opposing sides in any conflict, and their tempers can prompt spell-fights in an instant ^_^

Also, the episodes you have of Slayers is probably from the TV series, which does not have Naga in it at all. If you want to see Naga, you will have to watch the OVA episodes (Slayers Special or Slayers Excellent, both were 3 episode serieses) or the movies which are based on the OVA (The first four, Slayers Perfect, AKA Slayers the Motion Picture.. Slayers Return, Slayers Great, and Slayers Magnificent. The fifth movie, Slayers Premium, is based ont he TV series, but still has Naga in it for a very brief moment at the end.)

I just saw Slayers Georgeous and man was I off about Naaga, she's far from being as dumb as a bag of hammers and she's only friends with Lena sometimes in fact Naaga is downright dangerous -after all she is an amazon so her resemblance to my ex wife is more than just physical lol-, and Lina is a bit intimidated by her, and from what I have observed that doesn't happen often. I stand humbly corrected. :oops:

Naaga is one of my favorite characters and top 3 in hottest anime chicks ever. The bf's are definitely in working order. :shock: BTW, where did you get the "Cherry Lips" video?

I doubt your episodes of Slayers predate Naga since:

1. Naga's character was only in OVA's and movies. Not the series.
2. Whenever Naga appears, that is before Lina meets with Gourry and the rest.

If you've seen the series, the you've seen post-Naga.

Although Naga's appearance in Slayers continuity predates Gourry and the gang, chronologically speaking, didn't the TV series air before any OVAs or movies came out?

Most likely. However in this case, it's as if he were saying, "I watch DBZ, but haven't seen the Buu saga". In other words, he is assuming that Naga is a character in the series.
