Thursday, September 27, 2007 Cute but Deadly............


Hmm........ It seems like these days, there have been a quite number of anime, manga and games that feature female characters who appeared as cute or nice but later exhibit psychotic behavior.

In most cases, initially they are presented as loving, weak and shy. They might also have some feelings towards a certain male character. However, due to some unexpected events in the plot revolving their relationship (eg. Heartbroken, betrayed), they may display occasional mental breakdown which will cause her to turn psychotic and aggressive (which may lead them to commit murder).

In other cases, the female subjects might even don't have any emotions for the male characters. Usually they turned psychotic or violent when angry or irritated.


Here are some few characters that are well known for these types of traits


1. Kaede Fuyou (Shuffle!)

She is portrayed as a kind, timid and sweet girl and has deep feeling with the protagonist, Rin Tsuchimi. Unfortunately for her, it was an another girl (Asa Shigure) who was receiving most of Rin's affection. Eventually, she became mentally sick and tried to hurt Asa in the process.

These darker aspects of personalities may not that popular or well-known compared to other otaku slang. However it does add the spices to the story to make it more suspense and intriguing.

But the part that worries me a lot is........































......THE FACT THAT I ACTUALLY LIKE THESE TYPES OF GIRLS!!!!!!!!!


OMG!!! I've just realized I'm a freaking masochist!!!! I actually turned on when thinking there's a cute girl trying to kill me.............


As a side note, after reading the manga version of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, I really hope I can watch the anime version. I haven't even watch the first season yet *facepalm*.
