WTF Moments

[njchobitsfan]

I'm currently watching Those Who Hunts Elves and a WTF moment happened in Episode 5, where the tank is possessed by the spirit of a dead cat called Mike causing the tank to act like a live cat, meowing, or chasing animals. WTF!!! I'm sure there are many, many more WTF moments I've come across, but this one just stood out. So I was wondering what others would choose as their ultimate WTF moment. The WTF moment could have made you laugh, cry, or made you scratch your head in disbelief. It could be a scene, an episode or even the whole series or OAV. Be specific, use spoilers if need be and have fun.

Elfen Lied- The 1st like 7 minutes. The story behind Mayu. Lucy's childhood whenthose kids beat up her dog. I'm sure i'm missing some others but to me those really stood out in the series that gave me a WTF? moment.

Yeah, that's a good one. It made me cringe!

[Ashyukun]

The last 5 minutes or so of the first episode of Ga-Rei Zero. There's little else that I can remember leaving me just sitting there completely stunned and going, "Wait, WHAT!?!?!?!" like that did...

[Zeether]

The first 10 minutes or so of Kannazuki no Miko.

[TnAdct1]

Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo. 'Nuff said.

[Buckeye]

Let's see. I would say my biggest WTF moment would come in the final episode of Haruka Nogizaka's Secret Purezza. Just watch it and you will know what I am talking about.

Just watch it and you will know what I am talking about.Now I'm rewatching the episode to see what you might be referring to. I didn't remember any WTF moments in it, but maybe I'm just being forgetful... :sweat:

Edit: I'm guessing maybe the failed Shiina confession or the Eva Parody in the credits?

If you mean "WTF this is kinda lame" then I guess I could agree... otherwise I don't know what you could be referring to.

I'm not sure what he's referring to either. Although part of it is because I haven't seen the episode in awhile. Combine that with the fact the series is watchable, but not memorable.

That being said, in some ways the topic is kind of vague. Since you could in theory have a WTF reaction to things that others wouldn't even so much as bat an eye at.

There are many different types of WTF moments and this one falls under the category of "WTF was the point of all that?" moment. As for the type that was mentioned by the thread starter, I am still thinking about what that would be since I find that to happen infrequently.

The scene I mentioned falls in the WTF what were they thinking moment, all the while laughing my head off. I suppose you could say Those Who Hunt Elves the series is a total WTF.

The scene in Code Geass where Nina uses a table corner to masturbate to a picture of Princess Euphemia. That scene was just dropped in out of nowhere.

[Serial Experiments Nobue]

Adolescence of Utena.

No more needs to be said. ;)

And that's exactly why it's my favorite anime film.

Yeah, I've gotta agree that this belongs here. I remember going, "WTF????" more than a few times the first time I watched that. Definitely a damn good movie though- and for the longest time one of the best-looking shows I had to show off my first HDTV set with...

[Sensuifu]

The scene in Code Geass where Nina uses a table corner to masturbate to a picture of Princess Euphemia. That scene was just dropped in out of nowhere.

:bigsmile: thanks for reminding..yeah, that was unexpected. Pretty direct in getting the point across, but I never expected it to be seen that way.

Ponyo had some lines (English; can't remember where) that left me with thinking 'hopefully kids won't misinterpret that!' :sweat:

[William K]

Canaan - Hakko's necrophilia scene

Seikon no Qwaser's... power-up scenes... roflol

[Garasharp K7]

I'm currently watching Those Who Hunts Elves and a WTF moment happened in Episode 5, where the tank is possessed by the spirit of a dead cat called Mike causing the tank to act like a live cat, meowing, or chasing animals. WTF!!!

So I'm guessing you haven't seen the episode with the giant baby who turns into a tree monster, who then gets devoured by a giant bear - who then goes and excretes a whopping great roll of toilet paper yet. :) I didn't see that one coming. That'd be my WTF moment right there.

The second episode of Puni Puni Poemy would be another. I'll say no more about that. :sweat:

[Randall]

To me the whole Puni Puni Poemy series was just 1 big WTF? moment but of course I watched it as soon as I finished Excel Saga so yeah.

[Orihimes_Boyfriend]

WOW I guess that was edited out of the Adult Swim broadcast I think I would have remembered something like that. LOL. :devil:

I'm up to ep 9 so I'm tempted to check out your choice, but I think I'll wait and be surprised :sweat:

[TheGreenMan]

Excel Saga is one big WTF.

[Orihimes_Boyfriend]

Excel Saga is one big WTF.
Same for Pani Poni Dash.

[Doom86]

Higurashi/When They Cry - episode 5 begins with cute little Rika stabbing herself in the head with a laughing "Mion" (whom the audience would assume should be dead, since the "reset" will first be called to their attention in the NEXT scene) in front of her. So we don't know how "Mion" (it's actually Shion, of course) is alive, and we don't know why Rika is killing herself. Sure, it makes perfect sense later on, but on first view, the audience has to be scratching their heads in mass-confusion.

[TAS]

WTF in a good way - Utena, the movie and quite a few of the episodes... cow bell?

WTF in a bad way - Papuwa. As in WTF were they smoking.

[TnAdct1]

The scene in Code Geass where Nina uses a table corner to masturbate to a picture of Princess Euphemia. That scene was just dropped in out of nowhere.
WOW I guess that was edited out of the Adult Swim broadcast I think I would have remembered something like that. LOL. :devil:
Not only did Adult Swim leave that scene in the on-air version of the show, but they also have that clip on their web site under the title "Seriously?".

No, it wasn't. :sweat:
And it made [as]'s highlight reel (which I can't link to from work).

[Ashyukun]

Can't really argue with that.

I'd have to say that the last minute or so of the most recent episode (#10) of Durarara!! would probably count as well, though I'd class it as, "Oh shi..., seriously?!?!" more than 'WTF'...

[One Vorlon]

For WTF moments, I'd have to nominate, well, pretty much all of FLCL. If I had to pick one particular bit, I'd go with the baseball episode - what with robo-Pop, stick-on eyebrows, and the baseball of doom, its kind of hard to top.

A close runner-up would have to be Millenium Actress, specifically the first movie segue, when the interviewer shows up as the captain of the guard.

[pianocello]

Kampfer ep 12: Apparently in the future, male Natsuru and female Natsuru marry each other and have a daughter .

[Fencedude]

Kampfer ep 12: Apparently in the future, male Natsuru and female Natsuru marry each other and have a daughter .

That almost, almost makes me want to watch the last episode of Kampfer.

That aspect of the final episode was just wrong. Actually, several aspects of the final episode were just wrong. Whether or not the wrong was the bad type or the good type was a case by case basis.

I'll have to take a look at that. :blush1:

Or the 1st episode where in the 1st scene you just see Keiichi bashing Rena and Mion with a baseball bat.

It wasn't edited out, but for me the scene was so dark (on cable) that it was hard to tell what was going on. It was much brighter on the AS player and DVD version.

Maybe that's a weird way of editing it for the tv broadcast.

[Johnny]

Pretty much all of Serial Experiments Lain. It's one of my all time favourites, it just baffles me quite a bit :P

Also, first viewing of Eva TV/movies. Complete 'WTF is going on?' moment and a feeling of despair and insignificance for weeks after. Still my favourite series though! :D

[Buckeye]

OK, I have thought of some more WTF moments of different categories, starting with the one I said about being the "WTF is the point of all that" moment:

WTF was the point of all that?: Haruka Nogizaka's Secret ~Purezza~ episode 12 where Yuto and Haruka were stranded in a cabin about to kiss each other in the nude, until the maids break in and seeing the cabin is actually right next to the hot springs hotel. It fits that mold since I was hoping that this season would build upon the last season, but all it did was have all these pointless side stories with all these one-and-done characters.

WTF? Man, that was a great shock to my system!: Texhnolyze episode 1. Almost no spoken dialogue with the first lines coming like 15 minutes in makes it is worthy of a WTF.

The whole thing is a WTF.: Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade

WTF? Things were great until I saw this.: Evangelion, episodes 25-26 of the original release.

WTF? It was unexpected, but a great twist to the story.: Vandread in the episode where BC is revealed to actually be a guy.

[njchobitsfan]

The whole thing is a WTF.: Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade

One of the few titles I couldn't get through. :angry: A serious WTF!

[Randall]

All of Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan especially that kid who turned into a dog that humps people, the monkey, and what happens when you take the halo off plus with how many times that kid dies from Dokuro and comes back to life even with all of that blood that comes out of him each time.

[Serial Experiments Nobue]

All of Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan

Yeah... all of that makes, say, FLCL look perfectly sane. ;)

Dokuro-chan is one of those shows that seems wrong on so many levels, yet I can't help but watch and enjoy it.

[Hayate Kurogane]

The whole thing is a WTF.: Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade

One of the few titles I couldn't get through. :angry: A serious WTF!

The first episode is absolutely wonderful, but the rest of the show was sorely unable to live up to it (and probably should've ended in episode...like, 9 or 10, I think).

In keeping with the thread topic though, and being on the topic of Abenobashi, I'd specify episode 4 and some of its particularly lewd content (Sasshi peeing against the glass dome of the space station, Arumi spending a good portion of the episode wearing nothing from the waist down) as some good WTF material, and the entire episode in general due to how offbeat it was both action- and animation-wise thanks to being helmed by Hiroyuki Imaishi of Dead Leaves and Gurren Lagann fame.

[deKLACgs]

well let

geass's r2 final 5 really very going like LOST minus the smoke & hurley
queen's blade oh come where else can you see shoot liquid doobi & explode doobi on the same ep.
sora no oto flyin undies & TOMOKI (why kira yamato is tomoki?!)

[Garasharp K7]

Thought of another one - Super Milk-chan. That show is one great big WTF moment, regardless what version you watch.
Especially the episode where the president's cat goes missing. The man loves his cat a bit too much. :sweat:

That actually reminds me of the cat porn from Full Metal Panic - The Second Raid.

Yeah, seriously, wtf.

[Minuit]

I had a slightly different kind of WTF moment when watching Utena the other night - at one point I was sitting back and letting the second ending theme play, idly thinking about how it was an interesting song but the lyrics weren't even trying to make sense. Then the chorus kicked in with the "Lunar heaven, Mercurial heaven, Venusian heaven, Martian heaven, solar heaven, Jovian heaven..." etc. and I suddenly sat up and went "Wait a minute, that's Dante!" (On further reflection, it's probably supposed to reference Aristotle, not Dante, but that was what came to mind.) Teach me to ever assume anything in Utena is meaningless. Obviously, I need to go suss out the deep philosophical meaning of the boxing kangaroo.

Teach me to ever assume anything in Utena is meaningless. Obviously, I need to go suss out the deep philosophical meaning of the boxing kangaroo.

That's my favorite thing about Utena. It's a treasure trove of symbolism and metaphor.

And the best part is that whenever Kunihiko Ikuhara is asked "what does this mean?" about Utena, he remains playfully coy. :sd:

Though for the lyrics to "Virtual Star Embryology", we have J.A. Seazer to thank.

I don't know if it was episode 2 of Those Who Hunt Elves II you mean, but I was laughing my ass off. When Junpei was trying to find toilet paper screaming and howling, stopping to clench his butt cheeks, my God I was laughing hysterically, then to top it off, the mountain of toilet paper made by little white fuzzy bears who shit them out! I couldn't stop laughing! I mean WTF, but in a funny way! This series is starting out funnier then the first.

[Destati]

The game show episode of Ergo Proxy was pretty WTF.

[Randall]

Ponyo had some lines (English; can't remember where) that left me with thinking 'hopefully kids won't misinterpret that!' :sweat:

Ah yes the Ponyo making milk scene.

Ponyo and Sousuke meet this couple towards the end of the movie when they were trying to find Sousuke's mom. The couple had a baby with them. Ponyo offers some of the soup they were carrying to them and mentions that the soup was for the baby. The baby's mom says that the baby is too young but however the soup can help nourish the baby with the milk she provides for him.

[Randall]

The game show episode of Ergo Proxy was pretty WTF.

Agreed. Such a weird, weird episode that just came out of nowhere that left me going like um what the hell?

You're close, but not there yet. :) That was a great ep, though.
I know I already brought up Super Milk-chan, but I reckon I have to mention the foul-mouthed robot dog. Hearing him spout profanities was a bit of an eyebrow-raiser there. And I'm not talking about the localized dub here - he's got a real filthy mouth on 'im in the Japanese track too. (and he swears in english at that) :)
