Dusk252

Well, the scan already has this amazing composition but... good job cleaning it up nonetheless! It ended up a really good wall^^

Love it! I loved the tweak you made to the colors, the detail of leaving the eyes green and also how clean the whole thing looks and how well the vector blends into the background. Perfect.

Yes, there is a serious lack of Penguindrum wallpapers. On the other hand, it's nice knowing that even though we ain't got a lot to choose from, most of them are actually pretty good. Yours included. The background, color palette and simplicity really capture the mood and nature of the series. All the care you put in it also really shows how you like the sereis, and the symbolism connected to it is the best part of the wall. Not to mention that your wall of comments actually makes the whole even better xD The only thing I'd like to point out is Ringo and Shouma's difference in heights. You say it'd look weird if you showed that in the wallpaper, but I think it looks weirder this way. Well, that's not a big deal though. Congrats on the really nice wallpaper^^

I absolutely love it but after looking at it a little bit it kinda hurts. Maybe it's too sparkling? Nonetheless, nice job!

Wow. This is a perfect example of how amazing something simple can be. I just love the cold colors and it feels bright and clean. Just great^^

It's one of the best wallpapers I've ever seen. I never get tired of looking at it. And that alone says something. It's pretty awesome, good thing you didn't drop it or me and lots of other people would never be able to stare at this beauty. Great job^^

I love watching anime on TV whenever I'm alone at home and I do have a HD-TV so I always go for the highest resolutions I can find (1080p FTW).

I also hate subtitles that don't make any sense so if I think something is extremely confusing and inelegant about the dialogs, I download from another fansub.

So, yeah - highest quality is the best. I don't mind waiting for it.

My dad hates it, my mom is ok with it, everyone else thinks it's childish.

I actually got my mom to watch Angel Beats!. Just that one and it seemed like she moderately enjoyed it. At least she says she wants to watch more anime with me in her vacations. I'm gonna fulfill her wish of course xD My dad always sighs every time he sees me watching and is always criticizing my wallpapers. My grandparents think it's childish and a waste of time just like the rest of my relatives (except my aunt - she says she knows some anime actually have good and mature storyline, she just doesn't have the time to watch them - I just love my aunt^^) but they don't really know how much I watch it xD

Yeah, it surely is for me. In my school you can certainly count anime fans by your fingers. There are some casual watchers but they don't really care about it and know no more than the mainstream anime like Naruto and Bleach. Most people don't even have an opinion, they don't even know what anime is. So I cannot discuss what I watch with anyone in real life. They do like to see my drawings and sometimes that gives me an opportunity to explain who a certain character is or something like that.

Oh, one day I told a friend I was gonna buy a manga and he made a joke about why would I want to buy a sleeve alone ("manga" is the portuguese word for sleeve). Then he got serious and asked me if they still sold those fruits during the autumn ("manga" is also our word for mango). So I had to explain him that was the name for "japanese comics" xD I didn't really mind that one situation as it is still good for a laugh.

But really, I'd love to have more people who share my taste for anime. I wish I had at least one friend with whom I could spend an afternoon watching anime now and then and discuss what I saw with him/her...

Great band for sure. "Turn It Off" is one of my favorite songs ever and obviously my favorite from Paramore. I almost every single one of their songs but my favorite are: "Turn It Off", "Let The Flames Begin", "Misguided Ghosts", "When It Rains", "Playing God", "Ignorance" and "Fences". Oh, and I also love their cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (original is by U2).

From what I've seen, there have been few good anime each season. I don't have enough experience with watching it to compare things to what they were before but not everything can be a masterpiece. I'll be happy if I get something as good as Shiki each season. In the mean time, I'll just watch older anime.

Well, it's the same with everything you acknowledge as wrong. You may feel remorse at first but after you do it so many times, that sensation get rarer each time until you stop feeling any kind of guilt about it. So no, I don't even though maybe I should...

Anime can influence the viewer just as much as music, live action shows, video games or even your friends. Whether it influences you in a good or bad way depends both of the anime and yourself. First, there are the age issues. Of course there are things kids shouldn't watch but that's obvious and not unique to anime. Then it comes to how you interpret what you see. It can be a little controversial when bad actions are shown to have good outcomes but that happens in reality, it's naivety to affirm the opposite and once again the maturity of the viewer will decide the influence such situation can have on him.

As for the people that say watching anime is a waste of time... Forgive me but I find that to be a stupid opinion that clearly shows the ignorance of people. That's not a legitimate opinion unless you truly believe that doing anything non-productive is a waste of time. But I don't think there are any people who completely discard leisure from their lives. There are things you can learn with anime nonetheless, ranging from improving your reading with the subtitles, to the Japanese culture, developing a taste for the arts or even apprehending goos moral values. That said, telling us not to watch anime because it's a waste of time is the same of telling us not to play video games, watch TV or reading something non-studies related. If it's entertaining and if we have pleasure in watching it, we should do so. Entertainment is also an important part of life. I've never let my studies behind, in fact, I had the best marks in my school last year. However, I'm not gonna spend all of my time studying and I'm gonna keep watching anime because I feel like it is an escape from the daily life's stress and I truly enjoy it.
