Anime Wow... they're just like me!: Characters you identify with
\Firestorm replied to Balinese's topic in Otaku Central
I relate to Keitaro Urashima from Love Hina because I'm usually misunderstood by women most of which reluctantly trusts me and I am perceived as a pervert. Plus I'm a geek and a failure when it comes to studying in college. -
[QUOTE=AzureWolf][FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=blue][SIZE=2] Secondly, a little girl liking an older man is not lolita. If it was the other way around, then... haha... .[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] Yes, girls who likes an older men can be called Lolitas. Here is the meaning of lolita from Merriam-Webster dictionary Main Entry: Lo·li·ta Pronunciation: lO-'lE-t& Function: noun Etymology: from Lolita, character in the novel Lolita (1955) by Vladimir Nabokov : a precociously seductive girl If you don't believe me, check the lolita's meaning at [url]http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=lolita[/url] SYLLABICATION: Lo·li·ta PRONUNCIATION: l-lt NOUN: A seductive adolescent girl. ETYMOLOGY: After Lolita, the heroine of Lolita, a novel by Vladimir Nabokov Source: [url]http://www.bartleby.com/61/42/L0234200.html[/url] In the anime episode 9, Elsa said "'you and the other girls dont know what its like to be in love' In the manga, the male investigator, when talking to Triela, also asked the relationship between elsa and lauro, she told them that all the girls feel something for their handler but didnt know if this was the result of the conditioning or because they were actually close Giuseppe treats henrietta like a daughter/little sister, in which he still shows affection for her, but henrietta loves him which will more than likely cause problems in later volumes (since she said that she would kill a man that she loved, and herself, if he didnt feel the same way) as for Rico and her handler, their relationship isnt really explored in the first volume except for Triela saying that Rico was just a tool to her handler (names are too long to say) Triela admits that she has some feelings for her handler but she cant explain it The feelings of the girls towards their handler can either be pointed to the conditioning, since its much easier to give your life for a loved one than someone who just gives orders. Or it could be because their the only contact they have with other people, essentially its stockholm syndrome

The article about Mussolini and Rudolph Giuliani is from Oui magazine 1) Mussolini, a socialist in 1914, agreed with other Socialists that Italy should not join World War I. Several months later, he founded a pro-war group. Giuliani was a democrat before becoming a Republican. 2) Skillfully using his control over the press, Mussolini built up the legend of ?II Duce?, a man who was always right and could solve all the problems of politics and economics. By parading white collar suspects before the cameras of six o?clock news in handcuffs, Prosecutor Giuliani got a reputation for solving crime and political corruption. 3) Mussolini lost his first parliamentary election in 1919, then won on his second attempt. Giuliani lost the mayor?s race to David Dinkins in 1989 but beat him on his second try. 4) Mussolini made a pact with his archrival, Adolf Hitler. Giuliani hugged Al D?amato 5) When liberal gov?ts failed to stop the spread of anarchy, Mussolini was invited by King Victor Emanuel to form a government. After a riot in Crown Heights, Giuliani was endorsed by David Rockfeller. 6) Newspaper editors were chosen by Mussolini himself. Giuliani put Fox news on cable. 7) No one could practice journalism in Italy who did not possess a certificate of approval from Mussolini?s fascist party. Giuliani assigns press credentials to reporters. Mussolini personally took over the army. Giuliani fired his police commissioner and oversaw the deployment of officers 9) Mussolini drew thousands to Piazza Venezia where everybody shouted ?Duke?. Giuliani filled City Hall Park with policemen who shouted ?Rudy? 10) During Mussolini?s dictatorship, Italy?s parliamentary system was demoralized and virtually abolished. Under Guliani, City Council members who didn?t endorse him were threatened with the loss of after-school programs in their districts. 11) Under Mussolini the trains ran on time. Under Giuliani, no one dares complain about rail service. 12) Mussolini was suspected of connections to fascist thugs who kidnapped and murdered an opposition leader. Giuliani is said to be instigating the relentless prosecution of a Yankee fan who ran on the field during the 1996 World Series with ?Rudy, kiss my ___? painted over his buttocks. 13) With the help of liberals in parliament, Mussolini installed a strict censorship policy. After winning the mayoralty with the liberal party endorsement, Rudy put up video cameras throughout the city. 14) Just before the Allied Forces reached Milan, Mussolini and his mistress were caught by the Italian partisans. Just before his reelection campaign, Giuliani was caught dining with his press secretary.

Let me rephrase Triela's quotation again because I reread the manga recently. When the investigator Fermi was interviewing Triela about Elsa, Triela told him "Elsa was totally in love with her handler, Lauro. Most of the kids are." She even admitted "I do have some affection for Hillshire."

I started watching an anime called Voltes V when I was 6 or 7.

I was able to read the volume 1 of GG manga and was surprised by relationship between fratello and the cyborg girls. Do the girls have lolita complex? Do their fratello handlers have pedophilia? If you've read the manga volume 1, then you should notice Giuseppe/Henrietta and Elsa/Lauro relationships. Giuseppe gave Henrietta lots of gifts. Elsa shot Lauro and then shot herself because he didn't love her. Henrietta told Elenora Gabrielle "I feel like I want to please Giuseppe." Listening to the girl, Gabrielle thought, "This is definitely a girl in love." Triela told Signore Fermi "Elsa has affection for her handler. All of us (girls) have (for our handlers)."
