Epi 48: Horohoro is cool and cute!

[wpt1031]

War Pig is the name of a Black Sabbath song. I just found that out last night at work when it came on Sirius Satellite Radio.

[Lovely]

O.k. I FINALLY saw the dub of this episode today.
And... it actually wasn't that bad. Some of the lines were actually kind of cute (when preacher dude goes off to find a record store ^^;. )

I thought it was funny how the Bible was changed to a music book, but then the character USED that book as a sort of Bible anyways. "Verse" has two meanings you know ^_~ .

I'm sad that they took out the whole "kids can do great things too" thing, but besides that, it was alright.

EDIT: Anybody notice that a random background character in this scene looks an awful lot like the character Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist ?

[Lovely]

O.k... yeah... apparently the main guy from "Team Sabbath" is a direct parody of Dio a singer/lyricist of Black Sabbath.

Rainbow in the Dark. Was the name of Guy's final attack.

And here is the Rainbow in the Dark music video ^^; . The similarites are uncany ^^;.

( I WOULD link to this in the comparison, but it's a media file and I don't want to go through the trouble of asking for permission sooo...)

Another EDIT:
Here's Comparison 48 Weeeee~

I need a nap....

[Jr.]

That, or the director and writer of the show figured, "Hey, we've had a lot of male nudity so far, we can't proudly call ourselves a boys series if we don't throw in a naked chick SOMEWHERE!"

That was hilarious Lovely!!

Good Work!

Horo with his hair down and his pretty battle outfit pwns. That is all.

I agree.

-Ren (len) said "i heard one bit a bat's head off" I couldn't help but giggle a little. why can't they say death, die, or kill, but they can say "bit a bat's head off

Its a more "cryptic" way of saying "We killed it", I think. (Better than "destroyed" I suppose)

This episode pwned (despite the ear-bleeding parts)..it was awesome...This was Horo Horo's "glorifying" episode...I liked it a lot...and seeeing his hair down was a plus

...hmm...
On a coherent note...Reference to J-Lo...If I was crazy enough, I'd make a spoof of "Jenny on the block" (or whatever that song was...

This, had me laughing for a while:
"She's from the north, her brain has been exposed to freezing temperatures" - Ren

Even though we find out in the manga that in Hokkaido winters (According to Horo Horo) are as cold as -10°C which for me, during long periods of -30°C weather can be super-warm. XD;

As well~

"...Fanbase of one..."-Anna

And Team Doom's leader, he reminded me of those crazy evangelists I spot while flicking through channels on Sundays on the US stations while looking for some soccer matches in the mornings...

[NekoianFeline]

woot, first real post ^^

anyway, thats beside the point, this is probably one of my fave episodes..cause...it was about HoroHoro...and I'm his loyal supporter...Join me people...we'll have him being like Hao in no time XD

annnd...I think the 'naked Pirika' thing...somewhere around this site...(don't quote me on that, cause I don't remember) It was said being naked was a sign of purity. so I don't think he was being a pervo brother.

my favorite part had to be the HoroHoros hair down bit...it made me squeak...

I did kinda like the last episode with the little indian guy, and I thought it was pretty touching. (plus I liked Ryu in it...so sue me)

Thats pretty much all I have to say for now.

*laughs* Yeah, that was me. I say it in the episode 48 comparison itself .

Yeah, I do not know if Lovely or anyone else knows it now, but the leader of the other shaman team, Team Sabbath/Doom, is named Ronny. And for the heck of it, here are the band members that each member of Team Sabbath/Doom represent:
