A.C.D.C (bisexual) characters?

[Njr Scrawl]

Are there any anime characters M or F that play both sides of the fence?

George Koizumi from Paradise Kiss is bi.

The widow Sachiko Arii from Cosplay Complex has sex with one of the female characters, so that would make her bi as well.

[Isuzu Inugami]

Akio is at least strongly implied to seduce anything on two legs. Chuchu, watch out!

[Greywing]

ACDC? Huh?

[Arcturus]

Angus Young?

However, she states that that was her first time, and (IIRC) we don't see her pursuing other women, so I would call her bisexual in that one action, but not in inclination (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_Sexual_Orientation_Grid).

There are plenty of bisexual characters in hentai (most of them female, but see the (male) title character in Countdown: Akira), but I can't think of any others off the top of my head. (Wait: Chizuru Yoshida of HEN / Strange Love. Hetero, but one one small exception...)

Though that is what Google is for...


• Benten from Cyber City Oedo 808
• Hiroe Ogawa from F3: Frantic, Frustrated, and Female
• Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi
• Rumy from Gall Force
• Yuki from Gravitation
• Anthy Himemiya from Revolutionary Girl Utena
• Utena Tenjou from Revolutionary Girl Utena
• Michiru Kaioh (AKA Sailor Neptune) from Sailor Moon (?)
• Bart Garsus from Vandread
• Kurosaki Hisoka from Yami no Matsuei
• Muraki Kazutaka from Yami no Matsuei

Some of these are arguable; mostly I'm just presenting them to be shot down (or not).

ACDC? Huh?
AC/DC = Alternating current/direct current; used here as a slang term for bisexuality (as in a metaphor for changing between or joining heterosexuality and homosexuality).

Ah, thanks. I only knew of AC/DC as the electrical difference <or the rock band :neko: > - never heard of it as slang for bisexuality. And I'm bi myself, so it must be an odd/American only term. :neko:

I wonder if there is a reason he didn't just say Bisexual.

I thought the expression was in common useage.
Here's a
song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVlcAJFTPRo) to rock to. :cool:

First I've heard it.

[GrateSaiyaman]

Lillith of Yami-Bou.
Although most of the episodes that I've seen of her she's hot for Hazuki and that's about it.

You could say Hazumu of Kashimashi is but that's more a technicality than anything.
:D

[ohtori_akio]

Pretty much all Sailor Soldiers fit into this category :D, including Sailor Earth himself - Tuxedo Mask! Lol

[PhilipReuben]

No, they don't. Including Tuxedo Mask. What makes you think otherwise?

[touma]

Michiru Kaioh (AKA Sailor Neptune) from Sailor Moon (?)
Did she ever have a relationship with a boy?
I just finished watching Sailor Moon S so I should know that :sd: , but I am drawing a blank.

[populuxe]

I think a big portion of the cast of {i}Revolutionary Girl Utena[/i] is considered bisexual. Akio, Anthy, Utena, Juri, Shiori, Touga and probably several others.

[Spirit Of The Stage]

I can't think of any that are official which haven't already been mentioned, but definitely a few 'implied' I can think of, such as Konoka Konoe from Negima, (Seems to like Negi at first until Secchan returns to her life) Haruhi Suzumiya (watch episode 2 and listen for when Kyon asks her about who she'd go out, she pretty much says that she didn't care if it was male or female as long as it was interesting, and you wondering why she keeps molesting Mikuru... :sd: ) Kaolla Su from Love Hina (though mainly from the manga, she likes Keitaro but says she would make Motoko her bodyguard/lover) Nanami from one of the El-Hazards series (Can't remember which one, but if I recall like Makoto, but Aliele kinda clings to her for most of the series and she kinda accepts it at the end).

Though the one character I really like which has been picked is Noriko from Fushigi Yuugi.

And after episode 26 of Excel Saga, would Excel count or is that just her being narcissistic? :sd:

[Collectonian]

Toya from Cardcaptor Sakura (well, unless you consider Yuki/Yue to be sexless)

Nuriko from Fushigi Yugi

[Mr. Nail Bat]

Mylene Hoffman, aka 009-1 does people of both sexes in the first volume of said series.

[Njr Scrawl]

Michiru Kaioh (AKA Sailor Neptune) from Sailor Moon (?)

I just finished watching Sailor Moon S so I should know that :sd: , but I am drawing a blank.

In Stars she teases one of the Starlights, but IMO that's just to wind Haruka up :D
Michiru is one foxy lady!

[ohtori_akio]

No, they don't. Including Tuxedo Mask. What makes you think otherwise?

I'm thinking in them all getting crushes on people of their own gender at one point or another... And Tuxedo Mask had Fiore and was kissed by Fish Eye...

[Njr Scrawl]

An interesting scene, & important one, is the big finale in Sailor Moon R movie when Moon Revenge is sung.

As you know, its a song about love bites "red tattoo", & the scene shows how all the senshi think of Usagi & go to help her & add their power to hers, after remembering how kind she is. I always find it curious that such powerful emotions are expressed through the lyrics, when the senshis' emotions are running high.

[PhilipReuben]

I'm thinking in them all getting crushes on people of their own gender at one point or another...

I can remember one episode where Makoto arguably had a "crush" on Haruka, but I don't think it was at all sexual in nature. She just admired Haruka. I think it's a real stretch to take this one incident and say that Makoto has feelings for girls.

There's also the one episode where Usagi and Minako thought Haruka was a guy and had a crush on her. But... they thought she was a guy.

Other than that I don't know what you're talking about. You'll have to provide specific examples.

And Tuxedo Mask had Fiore and was kissed by Fish Eye...

Fiore = childhood friend. And even if you stretch the subtext a bit and decide that Fiore had feelings for Mamoru, that doesn't mean that the feelings were reciprocated. Similarly, how on earth does Fish-Eye kissing Mamoru mean that Mamoru is bisexual?

[Takato]

For further proof that none of the Inners are bisexual, in Sailor Stars, once the Three Lights[hide]are revealed to be the Starlights, the Inners stop crushing after them. Minako even states that it's like her love for them has disappeared.

[The_Mahou]

Nanami from one of the El-Hazards series (Can't remember which one, but if I recall like Makoto, but Aliele kinda clings to her for most of the series and she kinda accepts it at the end).
I've only seen the OVAs and the first TV series, but Nanami liked Makoto in both of those. I don't think she ever really returned Alielle's affections, though. Alielle pretty much clings to anyone with a set of tits and especially red hair.

First I've heard it.
Same here. I get what it means now (thanks to the mod that edited the thread title and DocWatson's post) but its certainly one i have never heard before.

I would say it might be a US term, but your from the US and have never heard it, and Njr its from the UK

*shrugs*

Where did you hear this term Njr?

[Harls]

I would say it might be a US term, but your from the US and have never heard it,
I think it's pretty obscure, especially to the generationally-challenged. ;)
My first exposure to the term was in Peter Benchley's orginal novel for "Jaws", back in 1974. Obviously it had to exist before that.

[Njr Scrawl]

Pubs, clubs, work. Maybe its outdated now & "bi" or "bisexual" has replaced it. *shrugs*

"A.C.D.C." is used as the title of the Joan Jett & the Blackhearts song in her 2006 "Sinner" album, but I've heard it used for over 10 years before.

I remember it from Harry Harrison's Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Smashers_of_the_Galaxy_Rangers) (1973), which is older than I thought.

Yeah, it's 70s slang (and a use of it that I believe the band ACDC intended with their name [edit: Ha ha, okay, okay, I stand corrected. Make that "didn't intend". :P ] ), although fallen increasingly out of favor--you kids today just aren't hep to the lingo, daddy-O!

Ah, guess that explains it.

I didn't even know that people recognised bisexuality in the 70s.

Most people just say bi or bisexual. I prefer to use the full term bisexual when im describing myself.

[philnicau]

Actually the bands name came from one of the members Grandmothers sewing machine which had AC/DC on its side (ie could use both currents).

What's important is that which we all believed--and I can assure you that nobody I know had any knowledge about the sewing machine. And everybody I knew was an AC/DC fan--and was trying to figure out what the little cap and shorts meant together with the name of the band. :D

Stonewall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots) (1969)? (See Stone Butch Blues (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786717637/animeondvd) for a description of the time period (while a novel, it is obviously a barely fictionalized autobiography).)

[pianocello]

Arguably the entire cast of Best Student Council (Gokujo Seitokai).

[ic14]

Its suggested quite early on in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya that Haruhi is bisexual.

Although, i guess the term would be more omnisexual/pansexual, considering she mentions aliens and espers....

That still doesn't change the fact the band is on record as saying they didn't know AC/DC meant bisexual when they named themselves. I actually saw the band interviewed about this subject two weeks ago on VH1's History of Heavy Metal. The band members they interviewed actually mentioned they first heard about the terms other meaning (its original meaning is "Alternating Current/Direct Current" and has to do with electrical currents) this from a cab driver (in the UK, IIRC, though it might have been a cab driver in their home country of Australia) and they were surprised because they'd never head the term used that way before.

BTW, if my memory is working right today the term did originate in the UK in the 1970s, which shows how fast pop culture changes there - going by the one poster in this thread who didn't realize the term is of UK slang origin. Also, open bi-sexuality was one of the hallmarks of the Glitter Rock music movement from the 1970s (a music movement that started in the UK during that time), as well.
