Would YOU go to Ohtori?

Well, would you go to Ohtori? It sure is a beautiful campus. I'm also pretty sure they actually learn stuff in their classes-- we just never see it. But there's also the oddities of it all, including but most certainly not limited to the presence of the Student Council and those horribly puffy sleeves on the uniforms. Ladies: There's also a bevy of beautiful boys.

Would you? I dunno. I probably would.

...But I would lobby for a change in those uniforms. They're just horrible. emot-biggrin

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

Y'know, I thought a lot of ladies would want to go just for Touga. emot-wink

I'd go for the good book learnin' school-eng101 (maybe that was just an excuse to use that smilie)

Okay, that's only part of it. It sure is a nice campus and...*shifty eyes* I'd probably go for Touga too.

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

I'd go to Ohtori. Hell yes. And while part of it would be to see (nail) the pretty boys, I think another part of the reason I'd go would be because that campus is gorgeous.

But then again, most of my interest would be in interacting with the characters, as they're not exactly what you find in real life. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from seeing whether I'm right on a couple of key points-- like whether you could piss Touga off really, really badly by sleeping with Nanami and Saionji, but not him. emot-keke

I bet that's a declaration of war right there. emot-keke

There's a fanfic in that, and no matter how well someone writes it, it's a fanfic that SOR is gonna have to take care of. emot-biggrin

Random Boy looks a little too stoic in that shot. He needs to let the fists go and get that :-| expression off his face. Other than that, he is kinda cute.

Shoujo is my favorite. Not only was Ruka hitting on her, but she was also cheering in the audience while Ruka was hitting on her! emot-aaa


I would like to go to Ohtori Academy, just as long as I don't have anything to do with the Student Council. I would love to meet Shiori... And then I would steal her away from Juri. As if that weren't enough, I would probably laugh at Juri because of it.

I could be everyone's new least favorite character. emot-biggrin

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

Hell. Yes. Assuming I could afford it, I'd be all over Ohtori Academy. Christ have you SEEN the state of public schools in Florida? You mean I get to go to a school where the bathrooms don't have USED PADS STUCK TO THE WALLS? And you know what? I'd take a couple child molesting teachers if they were otherwise decent teachers that didn't go to work every morning at best hoping not to kill themselves. I'd let a teacher poke his fingers around under my skirt for a decent lecture on European history. emot-mad

That said I'd be trying to get on the student council right quick, just so I didn't have to wear that awful uniform. I want something red. I suppose I'll have to submit it for approval with King Touga-sama, though. emot-rolleyes

I'd like to say I'd be a wild maniac nympho but actually in school I'm more likely to bust my ass getting A's than sleep with anyone. emot-frown And if prior experience is any sign, if I do happen to cross paths with Akio or Saionji I'll just blush and stutter and make a great big fool of myself.

Oh wait, we're fantasizing. In that case, I'll spend most of my student career riding the stick in Akio's car. You know, the one that sits in the driver's seat. school-devil


Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

All would be right in the world if I was able to inhabit Movie Ohtori.  It's so very MC Escher (and industrial), and I love the sound of mechanical fixtures randomly changing the shape of the buildings and rooms.

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

Only if we can move Movie Akio out of Movie Ohtori. But I agree, as much as I love the series campus, I love the movie one more. emot-smile

Only one problem with the movie-Ohtori is the damn blackboards keep moving around, that would annoy the hell out of me.

I would go to Ohtori safe in the knowledge that I could wear a cool uniform I made up myself and the teachers couldn't stop me from wearing it. *hehe*

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

No. Even without a position on the student council, just being there qualifies me as an Akio pawn, and I like being in control of my own decisions and my own life. As much as a person can, anyway. emot-keke

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

I would go to ohtori, and i would do my best to get into the student council and have my own student house.

i would go either way if its the movie or the anime version... altough i would like more the movie version...if they had some extra elevators (i guess thatīs why everyone at ohtori is in good shape, there are just so many stairs for everything.

There is only two things Movie Ohtori has over Series Ohtori - better student council uniforms and the rose garden in the sky.  i have this fantasy of wanting to be somewhere it's raining rose petals.

Other than that, i agree that Series Ohtori is better.  I'd so get lost trying to find my way through Movie Ohtori.

Re: Would YOU go to Ohtori?

Movie Ohtori reminds me of the ever-shifting staircases in Harry Potter. You'd look for English 101 and realize it's shifted buildings, and by the time you reach it, you're in the science wing. That's why Mikage wasn't in the movie, because Nemuro would have died of exhaustion trying to get to Nemuro Hall in order to burn it down.
