Why does everyone insufficiently love Rip Van Winkle?! Sure, Schrodinger's adorable and has little kitty ears, but... Rip Van Winkle is such a glorious and wonderful badass! Hey, I loved Rip as much as anyone else. It sucks that he died so suddenly whilst everyone (not counting Schrodinger) got a really cool fight and death scene. See, I saw the OVA and anime, and didn't read the manga. Rip Van Winkle had the most epic death scene ever, complete with massive fetish fuel... and was voiced by a female, so I think of her as female. I have been thinking of reading the manga, but honestly, I'm so madly in little floating confetti hearts with my conception of Rip that I'm afraid to do it!

That prompts me to paste this a second time, since it hasn't been noticed in the Nerd Porn thread: Uh wuh buh duh huh?! *Takes internet away from tigerarmy and gives to you*

Also, if you read mangas slowish (or regular, I dunno) it is quite epic. I just got the feeling that Rip didn't put up all that much of a fight. I guess I'll have to watch the anime then.

If there was ever any Nazi that I wouldn't want off the face of the Earth, it's Schrodinger. If only to be able to go "Who's the cutest Nazi?! You are!" Why does everyone insufficiently love Rip Van Winkle?! Sure, Schrodinger's adorable and has little kitty ears, but... Rip Van Winkle is such a glorious and wonderful badass! Something for your troubles. ;D

Rip is nothing without her gun. As we saw so wonderfully demonstrated when she fell apart completely after Alucard bit the bullet out of the air and proceeded to walk toward her at a sedate pace.

arcrow, A+. If I weren't in a family space right now, I would have totally changed Jon's desktop background to that. NtC, Oo, I resent that! (Not seriously.) She was already a total disaster before that happened - she just snapped briefly into awesome courageous-in-the-face-of-all-odds mode to give it her best, and then when that didn't work her pride was satisfied and she broke down the rest of the way again. That's what I think anyway.

Bah, Jan Valentine didn't break down into sobbing until he was cornered and legless. Alhambra didn't completely lose his cool until Alucard punted his leg off. Rip was helpless without that gun.

Bah, Jan Valentine didn't break down into sobbing until he was cornered and legless. Alhambra didn't completely lose his cool until Alucard punted his leg off. Rip was helpless without that gun. But Alhambra genuinely thought he had a chance, and Jan Valentine was a crazed idiot. Rip knew what she was dealing with and that - essentially - there was no hope whatsoever. Part of why I liked her role so much was her instant recognition of Alucard, along with the way she fit him into her personal mythology. And that's also why I found her death so appealing - in other cases, Alucard is tormenting people who almost deserve it for seriously thinking they had any chance whatsoever of beating him, and actually trying to do so. In her case, it's plain sadism, and he kind of buys into her aforementioned personal mythology to do it. I appreciate that. ETA: Other things I appreciate: the direction this thread has gone. Two pictures of scantily-clothed attractive anime womens and counting, and one conversation about my newest favorite anime ever.

Valentine got his legs shot off running away. While this is true, he didn't flee in terror until AFTER Alucard turned himself into something straight out of Lovecraft.
