All You Need to Know (or More) about Izumi Maki and her adventure in Nadesico Since I'm a big o' lazy bum, I shall dissertate about Izumi Maki and Nadesico in a Q and A fashion, and jumping around ideas erratically so you can't understand it easily. You can also submit more Qs to me, so it's more flexible anyway. Question about Izumi Maki Q: Who's Izumi Maki? Why sometime people call her Maki Izumi too? A: Izumi Maki is the third of the three Aestivalis pilots introduced in episode 4. She's physically characterized by her long black hair (covers her left eye most of the time) and having a very weird expression on her face. Even more notably, she's the character who throws weird puns (or tends to just say few disjointed words) during certain times. Her familiy name is Maki and her "first name" is Izumi. It is customary in Japan to list and say people's names last name first, so often times you'll see Maki Izumi instead of Izumi Maki. On this page, I shall list all names first name first. (There is also another reason, but you'll have to find that out yourself) Q: What's so interesting about Izumi? I find her just plain weird. A: Well, she is definately a weird individual. However, for some of us in the club, she is appealing because she is weird. It should be also noted she has a very off-focused sense of humor. What do I mean by that? Tell you the truth I don't really know. Seriously speaking, Izumi exist purely for her comedic purposes. Certainly there are a few moments where she plays a serious role, but that's not what she's known for. IMO, she's a lame yet creative character. Innovative but lack dimensions. She has depth but no development (well she's a minor character, so). Don't bother asking us why we like Izumi, because our answers are probably going to make less sense to you than the average line Izumi spits out. Q: So why do you like Izumi? A: Read the question above. But if you insist we can tell you, but then we have to kill you. That's one thing about fanclubs nowaways. Too many follows the 'Apple Jack' example of fanclubship. That's just pathetic. More pathetic than Izumi's puns. I mean if you say "so and so is cool" at least that makes some sense but that goes without saying....unless you are a fan of a not-so-cool character? (now that may apply to some of Izumi's fans) Q: I don't understand what you're trying to say. A: Ask me again. Email me or something. Learn C++ and play with pointers. Use 50 Q-tips and try to slay a chicken with them. Take a jar of pasta sauce and play hackeysac. Ask someone smart. Tie a mouse to the tail of a cat. Run 10K backwards. Some/all of them may have enlightening purposes that might help you solve your problems. Q: So how many puns did Izumi say during the whole series? A: Unfortunately no one is dedicated enough to find out. Do realize that it's hard because one needs to be in sync with the pop/current Japanese culture to get all her puns, as we suspect that there are many subtle references to the pop Japanese culture. Maybe you'd like to find out yourself??? =) Q: So are you just losers who are trying to be "new"? A: What do you think? Quotes Ruri: "Honto, baka baka." |
