Comments on: Kurenai - 07 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/16/kurenai-07/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated. Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:14:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Chrosign http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/16/kurenai-07/#comment-7787 Fri, 23 May 2008 08:38:19 +0100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/16/kurenai-07/#comment-7787 The show has spent every single episode showing us what kind of creature a woman is. Ever since episode one where we see Murasaki's father cursing and using violence against and calling them 'wretched women'. It is interesting how Kuhouin women are meant to spend their entire lives in the inner sanctum, never to step out, and that they are to have utterly no control over their lives at all. These things are meant to be predetermined. But Murasaki is a Kuhouin female who receives education about all the characteristics of a true female outside(and along with it, all of life's nasties ;D) Hence introduce ambiguity as to which lifestyle Murasaki should aspire to become to reach true feminity. Should she aspire to be the perfectly sheltered and completely faithful Kuhouin lady and live a life as a man's toy? or towards the outlandish behaviour of a modern japanese woman? "So Universities is a place where women compete for men??" - Murasaki The show has spent every single episode showing us what kind of creature a woman is.

Good news that this series will only be 12 episodes long. Shiori’s birthday was one of the best parts in the anime… and exactly how you describe it, what’s more.

Of course, I can only speak for the series I've seen. ^^; Deyes40: both AniDB and ANN seem to confirm that Kurenai will only be twelve episodes long. I agree that it could have been longer, but at least it's now short and sweet. Windspirit: I quit after episode 10, so I guess that means no.

Just an text email over the phone is sent, and that's it, well ok, in person with close friends. Gift giving and going out to drink as a group are fairly common standard things that don't need to have a reason (such as a birthday) in their eyes. Again, generally, as it does happen of course. (And more and more I believe, what with Japan being fascinated by America - if it's a party, it's often a surprise party, as that's what you see the most on American TV).

I thought it was still up the air. Not that it's bad, as 12 episodes makes sense with the current pace. Having said that, I'm loving the feels-as-filler-but-isn't slice-of-life episodes so much, that I wouldn't mind if they stretched it to, like, 22 episodes. Good to see some story again though.
