    Components of an Anime Site

    In some areas I agree, but there's something to be said for design. There's not much point in great content if nobody is drawn in to read it! I think layout is very important, as well as colour scheme, and a consistancy throughout the pages - that show signs of professionalism and that the...

    Pics, everyone

    Ladies and gentlemen, me in my Sei wig. Marvel at my sheer lack of make-up and posing skills:

    Howl's Moving Castle gets an Oscar nomination

    Correct, but stereotypical aspects including large eyes and extravagent movement are said to be inspired by Disney. In terms of the general art style it had a definite impact. What exactly is wrong with Disney anyway? Not only is the classic animation some of the best of it's time, it also...

    Coup D'etat

    A very nice piece with some interesting ideas being explored. I am however a bit anal when it comes to certain grammatical things etc, so just a few pointers: 1) ABSOLUTELY NEVER change from a narrative to scripted dialogue halfway through the story and 2) A technical thing: numbers are...

    Howl's Moving Castle gets an Oscar nomination

    Well thankfully the Japanese enjoy it otherwise we wouldn't even have anime! Well done Howl's Moving Castle, although I'm torn between that and the Corpse Bride. In terms of animation quality it blew me away...

    A Gods entry.

    You know, your post got me thinking. Anime without the accent on the e or with? Well in my bored state of mind I decided to find out. The official dictionary definition of "anime" is: Not entirely correct, but they've got the basic idea. And "animé"? Wow. For once the Internet...

    My random Manga Art

    Your style is very distinctive and original. It's also very flamboyant which is fantastic! I love the fact you've experimented with the manga style rather than copying the stereotypical route, after all that's how great manga artists are created in the first place - they're a break from the norm...

    What you guys doing right now.

    Ah. There's a certain joy when out of all the rubbish you have on iTunes, suddenly a Gravitation song comes on! :D At the moment I am waiting for my pizza to cook (burn) and listening to Smashing Blue. Bliss.

    Celebrity Big Brother 2006

    I clicked onto it right near the end and I couldn't help feeling so happy for Michael Barrymore - the poor guy has been through so much and deserved every bit of that amazing response from the audience. Kudos to him! :D

    Piccys by Mini-Mariah!!

    Very nice indeed! The pencil drawings are fabulous! I would love for you to attempt something with a little more shading perhaps - using coloured pencil for example.

    January 2006 top anime keywords

    It also demonstrates that the people searching on this site have extremely good taste in anime :wink: Either that or they actually want to find "bones" as in the skeleton :shock:

    Sony license Blood+

    Considering how long it took Naruto took to get licensed, I'm wondering why Sony have done this so quickly. There are plenty of better series unlicensed than Blood+, so why choose it?

    ~The avatar thread~

    I was going to wait until next month, but due to my new found love of Maria-sama Ga Miteru I changed mine to Sei (Rosa Gigantea) trapped in her field of thorns. She's not my favourite character, but her backstory is so wildly similar to mine she's very relatable, not to mention my newest...

    FF7 DIRGE of CERBERUS

    Ah the mystery of discussion forums :P :wink: All right, back on topic. To quote everybody else, Dirge of Cerberus looks like an excellent game indeed, and it's nice to see a potentially different format used too. And yes, FFVII remade would be a rather nice addition to the collection...

    FF7 DIRGE of CERBERUS

    I'm assuming you mean FFVII - FFVIII is Final Fantasy 8, which I would actually prefer to see a remake or sequel of than 7, although I'm not entirely sure where the story should go seeing as the ending's divided into those who can be bothered for the credits to finish and those who can't :wink...

    Beez snap up IGPX for UK release

    Depite the lack of excitement for the series itself, at least with Beez you know that it's going to be as good as anybody could possibly get it :wink:

    Thinpaks: A good thing?

    I think there's something to be said for the noble art of collecting a series as soon as it comes out, DVD by DVD. It somehow makes it all exciting than buying it in a sort of bulk economy style :wink: Sorry, that was a little harsh. I do agree that thinpaks are great value for money, but...
