Shougeki Gouraigan Finale + Full Series Discussion "The First and Likely the Last"

as much as I adore this show... if I was given a chance to improve and right the wrongs Inoue came up with, I would come up with these ideas:

1) Gou takes on a human friend's (who befriended Gou and took him in) form after he was killed by the first Magii he encountered on Earth. the rest of the Hikaribito also go through the same thing.

2) Get rid of Rin entirely, because Hitomi has always been promoted as the heroine of the show. why should I go back on my word and be like "Oh hey, she's actually the decoy heroine suckers!"? that's totally cheap.

3) Get rid of that stupid, pointless secretary, as well as those other female characters who served no purpose to the plot. not to mention the unnecessary nudity.

4) Jin is the sempai that Gou aspires to be and he emphasizes on this fact throughout the series until he is left feeling distraught upon finding out that he has become a Kageribito.

5) My explanation for Hitomi's ability to see the Magii and Hikaribito's true form? her father is actually none other than Jin. why did he become a Kageribito? because of his love for his deceased human wife (think Anakin Skywalker), who was murdered by thugs and this drove Jin into madness, which leads to him developing a hate for humans. Obaa-chan took Hitomi in because she didn't feel comfortable leaving her with him.

6) As usual, Hitomi doesn't take a liking to Gou (whenever he attempts to break her out of her shell) at first, but both slowly grow closer and develop feelings for each other. whenever Hitomi is in grave danger, Gou constantly prioritizes her over the lives of others, which mirrors the fate of Jin.

7) There may or may not be a Bigger Bad than Jin, but I've never actually thought that far. :laugh:

8) The comedy aspect will still be intact.

Is it just me or are most of Mitsu Dan's roles based around sex?

Not just you. Even references to her in shows where she doesn't really appear or gets credited (Itazura na Kiss) are about sex. What do you expect from someone whose claim to fame is debuting as a gravure idol at a mature age?

Honestly, the sexual situations in this show weren't really stupid, they just had no direction whatsoever. You've got a porn star who just stands around naked, another porn star who is of practically no relevance to the plot and just acts cute for one episode, and Dan Mitsu who I think is some weird, failed attempt to juxtapose one group of Hikaribito's attempt to integrate into society with Jin's own attempt. I could see what Inoue was trying to do, but it just didn't translate well.

What do you mean? There are actresses who've debuted in gravure in their early 20s and they get roles that aren't sex-drenched. If someone debuts at a later age somehow it's different.

That little fairy woman?

Who?

She was past 30 when she debuted, IIRC. Her first feature film (in which she was 32) was her playing a veteran OL who seduces her kouhai in order to please the S&M tendencies of a father-figure.

Sex is her selling point, nothing else. Well, that and she's got that geisha look, too, like something from a period painting.

That little fairy woman?

Yep.


RIO aka Tina Yuzuki, who played the pseudo-detective lady.
 
I thought that was Miki Nanri (Rian in Garo Season 3). They look like each other.

You, me and every credits list I've ever seen for the show :sweat:

I'm going by this. If it's wrong, then I stand corrected.

EDIT: Yeah, even the Japanese Wiki says so: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/衝撃ゴウライガン!!
橘アキコ - Rio

I don't know what credits lists you guys have been looking at. Rio looks nothing like Miki Nanri.

Are you sure you or someone's not confusing the "detective" lady with that dancing skeleton of a woman whom Rai flirted with in one episode?

I'm talking about the lady who drives the scooter who bumps into Hitomi once in awhile. The one listed in Jacky's post I linked to above as Akiko. Rai flirted and danced with a lot of ladies so I'm not sure which one you're referring to.
 
Two options:

1. Miki Nanri is not Rio, she is not even in the show.
2. Miki Nanri has been doing some dirty movies lately.
