But doesn't japan pervert everything?

King arthur was a girl in one anime, Tentacles, nun ninjas, nuns with guns, naruto, etc...
The list is endless

Surely the mispelled Gilgamesh is another warped chimera of Nippon.

Yes, it's actually Gilgamesh.

Isn't Gil an ancient Mesopotamian king? I think I've read some tales where he was portrayed as a demi-God.

I thought he's a demi-god in their tales? not a once living king.

According to the Sumerian king list, Gilgamesh was the son of Lugalbanda and the fifth king of Uruk (Early Dynastic II, first dynasty of Uruk). He ruled circa 2600 BC. He became the central character in the Epic of Gilgamesh - one of the best known works of early literature, which says that his mother was Ninsun (whom some call Rimat Ninsun), a goddess. Gilgamesh is described as two thirds god and one third human.

According to another document, known as the "History of Tummal", Gilgamesh, and eventually his son Urlugal, rebuilt the sanctuary of the goddess Ninlil, located in Tummal, a block of the Nippur city. In Mesopotamian mythology, Gilgamesh is credited with having been a demigod of superhuman strength who built a great wall to defend his people from external threats.

English and Greek?
Whoah you can speak Arabic.
I can only read it.
I need translation for every word I read.
My brother can speak Arabic a bit...
And at school I learn Spanish instead of French.

I can speak English and Malay fluently though...

Ok, so I've always sort of known that all J-rock/pop is ALL made by Japanese artists so the thought process was always kind of "J-rock= japanese rock bands" but then one day my friend said something and realization set in...."J actually stands for JAPANESE!" I felt so special.

Not too metal-ish and no grunting and stuff like that. Maybe some good old hard rock style things?

Does 'Onna no Kokoro' mean something along the lines of "Heart of women", "The womans heart" or am I completely off on this?

No your not off, it could also mean "A Womens heart" But it would depent on the way it is said in real life because in japanese
the same sentence can have multible meanings depending on the way they are used in a sentence or in they way they are pronounced.

I can't come up with a good example ATM srry...

*REVIVES THE THREAD*

I actually listening to Visual Kei bands right now. Girugamesh is turns out to be a good band. Not all their songs really fits my appetite though. But, Owari to Mirai really fits my ears.
