I've been watching the anime since yesterday and couldn't help but wonder why
it was called _Gokukoku no Brynhildr_ or _Brynhildr in the Darkness_. So far I
have yet to see any mention of Brynhildr; is this some person later on in the
story? Or another name for the protagonist?

question
brynhildr-in-the-darkness
Why is the series named this way?


Brynhildr (also spelled Brunhild, Brünnhilde, Brynhild) is a shieldmaiden and
a valkyrie in Germanic mythology.

Best answer I could find. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brynhildr>

Spoiler alert!

> It could be because one of the main antagonists is called Valkyria, and

> Brynhildr could refer to her. Plus, Valkyria is almost identical to Neko,

**Brynhildr** in this series is **Kuroha Neko**.
[Brynhildr](http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Brynhildr) is mighty
female warrior of Germanic mythology and the chief of the
[Valkyries](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Valkyrie).

Neko's character almost portray the character of Brynhildr as mentioned in
German myth. She is powerful than Valkyrie. She does not have any past memory.
She gained her memory and became very powerful at the end in series.

_Brynhildr in the Darkness_ trying to show the Neko in darkness or loss of
memory. She only does not have past memory but also lose memory when she keep
using her power.

As confusing as the explanation was by "MirrorOfTruth" given on 09-12-2014, I
think shklim or shkler was trying to say the following: The refrence to
Brynhildr, from the anime series "Brynhilder In The Darkness", refers to the
female character Neko Kuroha. Brynhildr is a mighty female warrior and chief
of the "Valkyries", which comes from German Mythology.

Neko's character almost portrays "Brynhildr" from said myth where as she is
powerful like the Valkyrie, has no past memories, and as she regains her
memories she becomes much more powerful, like in the end of the series. (I'm
going to leave the last part out because it is the definition of the word
"Spoiler") but lacking basic grammar skills.

Having said that, it is almost as damaging to the information given, as it is
to the person lacking said skills.
