If you have played the game you know they missed out alot of things, the anime is significantly different.

For someone who has not played the game, it is very easy for them to assume the twins are female, at this moment in time the anime has done NOTHING to change that preception.

And I suspect it could be easier for Kyoani to leave it as that.

As long as they do not provide any evidence to disapprove this, it is safe to say they are female.

Key Board · 2006-07-25, 07:08

they're boys in both the anime and the game

There has been nothing in the anime so far to show they're female - i say its safe to say they're keeping the same gender from the game.

Owaranai Destiny · 2006-07-25, 09:08

Well, whatever the truth about the gender of the twins is, I can safely say the position they were in with Oboro was rather...interesting.

On another note,

Touka=cute

Heh. You won't be disappointed. Especially since it's a pretty big thing.

Quoted for truth. Seems almost strange to see her like that seeing how stern-looking and a stickler to her code of conduct/sense of honor she was when we first saw her. Touka + weird situation = priceless.

Aquaplus, you mean?

I had always suspected that after SHaruhi, many would be suffering from withdrawal symptons and associating KyoAni with any anime that is good, or trying to find other anime that is similar to SHaruhi. :P

Tabitha is a Yuki-clone. Shion is a Mikuru-Tsuraya-hybrid. Etc...

Like Mashiro in Mai Otome manga and anime?

KaneDragon · 2006-07-25, 10:43

Noo! Oboro, run! It's a trap! It's a tra~~~~~~

Poor Oboro. It would be hotter if the twins were female, but knowing they were traps in the game... @_@

This episode was full of high points. The sperm twins getting Oboro drunk and having their way with him (was this part in the game, too?**), all of their expressions, Eruruu's tail going all spastic when Hakuoro complemented her, Touka being cute, drunk Karura hitting on Hakuoro.... <3

**EDIT: Nevermind, found the info in the Twin thread (2nd spoiler tag): http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...2&postcount=35

Grifis · 2006-07-25, 10:47

At time like this, I strongly believe that the anime definitely stayed true with the twin's gender from the game.

KaneDragon · 2006-07-25, 11:12

I was also a bit confused by all the long, mythical names that got thrown around...

I guess this is just something Hakuoro learned off-screen? I want to learn more about these so-called special powers, gods, etc... And how setting yourself on fire and running your opponent through a meat-grinder fits into it...

cheenk · 2006-07-25, 12:21

is it just me or is yesy's torrent for episode 17 not working?

Lost · 2006-07-25, 12:27

I cant get to their fansub page. Tracker down? FBI? I dont know.

But WOW. This must be yesy's fastest release. Competition is good? Then again, I'm a little worried about quality. Then again, why do I have to go to sleep???

Maybe they are following the gender guessing thread..

Skane · 2006-07-25, 12:31

The torrent works fine.

Majek · 2006-07-25, 12:38

Yes it's getting the torrent that is the problem.

Hakuoro's harem is becoming simply monstrous. Now he gets to have a blonde as well?

Not the most overpowering harem i seen but one that gets along the best. No bickering and personality clashes for Hauoro to deal with.

unlike:
Tenchi
Shiki
and poor saito and whip wielding louise

Key Board · 2006-07-25, 13:03

Witsalnemitea was mentioned several times actually. Mostly pertaining to blessings and such. Rewatch Urotori's debut.

But like Hakuoro, must of it just went over our head.

I know it's overpowering me. To be honest, until now, I've never felt an ounce of jealousy towards any character regarding his harem. Seriously. But... this... this is just going overboard! Touka is a goddess, Karura is simply amazing, and now, he gets this beautiful, young blonde.

It's just utterly ridiculous! XD

...

Anyways, the episode was fun, but looking back, it didn't really accomplish anything. The characters have lately been retreating to their character archetypes more and more when earlier on, they were each given a fair amount of attention to their thoughts and development. Hakuoro has been the only character getting any attention for the last handul of episodes, and it's a little bothersome. Still, this episode was entertaining enough, so I'm fine for now. The next episode seems to promise some Karura development anyways.

Shiroth · 2006-07-25, 14:32

What a great episode, made a lot more sense when watching it subbed - though even without subs, its easy to understand just how much Oboro gets owned in that episode. First from Dorii & Gura, then Eruru, then Yuzuha.. the list goes on. & you just gotta love Touka in this episode..^^;;

I really enjoyed seeing Kuuya animated, & hearing what she had to say, so cute. I'd easily say she's one of the cutest characters in the story next to Yuzuha.

As i said before, next episode is where all the fun begins~

On another note, Spoiler: Seems that the story about Hakuoro's real identity and past is given a little more attention as well, though it wasn't the focus as usual. Still, I'm glad we could learn at least a little more about what he might be, even if its just some names. Touka=cute
