You Give Love A Bad Name

Using footage from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, a re-invention of the series to the music of Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name" from his Slippery When Wet album. As a project for English 147A, Theories on Adaptation, I chose to focus on the relationship between Neuro and Yako in the anime. Handled differently and more explicitly than the manga, while I wouldn't call Yako's affections for Neuro love, she is portrayed as more deeply concerned with his well being in the anime than the manga. I chose to call into question what measures up to expectations of their relationship in the anime through choosing this song, leaving the question of who is to blame up in the air.
