Topic: Cute Animal Characters In UY

Kotatsu Neko!!!

Don't forget about Kitsune.

[Forgotten_Lum]

I'll disagree with both of those, how do you find a 5 foot tall ghost cat cute, i have enough trouble with 3 cats in my house.

Oh and who was it that hated Kitsune with a passion, personally i find him annoying or is it just the episodes

[UruseiNeo]

Necron99, I believe hated Kitsune a lot. On his own though, Kitsune wa kawaii desu ka.

(let's see who's been paying attention to the Japanese Lessons ^_^)

I used to hate Kitsune. But lately, I've been softening my opinion of him. I'm starting to find interesting qualities in him (and come up with some interesting uses for him story-wise).

Personally, I never thought the token animal character you find in a lot of anime was ever "cute", but it works as a means of adding a cuteness factor for the more effeminate reader/viewer base.

Kitsune wa kawaii desu ka.

Shouldn't that have a question mark if you're going to end it with -ka?

[UruseiNeo]

ka IS the question mark ^_^

[sidzero]

Yes, but when you're transliterating it into English, you should also use English punctuation.

[UruseiNeo]

ummm I wasn't translating it into English, dude. Hmmm... I think the term you are thinking of is "Romanji" which is the alphabet we use.

Anyways, no, you still don't need the question mark as "ka" is still there.

And don't even try to argue with me on this one cause there's no way you could win. By that I mean I have the actual textbook to back me up as well as my teacher and ACTUAL nihongo no ryuugakusee (international japanese students)

UruseiNeo calm down! xD At least he is trying to learn correct japanese. He's not like me, I write what I hear and sometimes it seams I'm a little deaf because I trade "d" for "t" and so on. x)

Btw, I'm annoyed by Kitsune, too.

[UruseiNeo]

Kitsune wa kowai desu ka, cata-san. (Until I get a straight answer about the usage of "chan" from my teacher or the ryuugakusee, I refuse to use it)

[cata]

I don't think he is cute! I'll tell you what's cute: Lum, Ran (when she's not mad, when she's being fake xD ), Shinobu (not angry or scared), Ataru (serious or worried face). But I guess they don't count as animals. I don't think there are kawaii animals in UY but Kotatsu-neko.

[UruseiNeo]

hahaha! I said "kowai" which is not the same as "kawaii" XD

kowai means scary or frightening

[cata]

I know that but I didn't really care about it. x) Fortunately your teacher doesn't come to this Forum... Or does she? xD

[UruseiNeo]

I don't think so 0.0 should I ask? XD

[cata]

Lol. I don't know. Anyways I just remembered another cute animal on UY:

Karasutengu! Everyone knows the crow-goblins, Kurama's servants. I think I classify them as being cute. From my perspective I find them much more cute than Kitsune.
