message: Simple question- the first (and presumably last) of the new human race murders Tear with the tuning fork after being offended by what she says. But is she really Kiyoko getting revenge for ending humanity, or did the first creature created by human & Gilgamesh just happen to be a headcase? Sephjnr 19:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:   Recently I JUST remembered, the book that allowed me to understand this anime; it was Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's translation on the "Sefer Yetsirah" the "Book of Avraam."  A lot of people have difficulty with the anime because it borrows so shamelessly from general ancient semitic mythology, in addition to Jewish mysticism (Kabalah).  In the anime, the character Novem mentions that the "corruption of the universe is due to the corruption of the human race."  In Kabalist theory, the Kabalah tree, represents the body's major energy centers, and said energy centers are connected to the entire universe, both the energy physical plain, and the unseen spirit world.  The inbalance in the soul of just one human being, is enough to cause chaos throughout the cosmos; the reason we see the activity of black holes, stars going super nova when they sholdn't be, cosmic storms, and here on earth, huricanes and earth quakes is because according to Kabalist theory, our souls's are messed up and because we are all directly wired to, well, EVERYTHING, wether we want to or not, consciously or not, our problems become the universe's problems.  The Gilgamesh were out to exterminate the human race, because so wired, the whole of existence was threatened.  Again to better understand the anime, please read Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's translation on the Sefer Yetsirah first; the Rabbi had a background in Physics, so he was uniquely qualified to explain everything.  Again without first reading that book, the anime becomes almost impossible to understand, we are talking reading volumes of ancient semitic mythology, the whole of the old testament and volumes upon volumes of Kabalist writting.  Kaplan's translation on the Sefer Yetsirah places it all in one neat little package, that is, more or less, digestible to the lay reader.  Word of warning though Kaplan uses a lot of "heavy words;" if you are not well read with high level material, or well educated the book itself may be too heavy.  I hope this helps people confused about the anime; I will admit the creators made many mistakes, I mean, they squeezed pretty heavy stuff into what was basically a teenager's cartoon!  67.148.120.124 (talk) 01:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  A bit of change... 

message: Having seen the entirety of the series recently, I will be making a number of edits to the article in the near future and will hopefully mold it into a better article. This includes utilizing ADV's extensive liner notes and supplements (although I'll try my best to verify their accuracy). Tony Myers 15:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More ''Gilgamesh'' edits 

message: The article says the series is set in the "super present". English is not my first language so maybe this term does exist and I've just never come across it before... I haven't seen the series, so I don't know -- is it set in the future? If that's the case, could someone please fix this (ie, replace "super present" by "future")? Thanks.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Gilgamesh (anime) - Logo.jpg

message: Hello,
It is said in the article that Kiyoko acts as a surrogate mother to Tatsuya. English is not my first language, so I must have understood wrong, but I thought a "surrogate mother" could be, to oversimplify, a woman who carries a baby that is not biologically hers. Although it seems obvious in context that the author of this article meant that Kiyoko brought up Tatsuya because of Azusa's poor state of health (to say the least), I think the ambiguity should be corrected.
