I like it. It captures the best of each character (or perhaps the worst, but that's all the same really :p ), it is a good scene, and there are some nice effect with it. Probably the best Haruhi wallpaper I have seen so far, desho? Desho?

Very nice! It is a rather cute picture of Saturn, which is unusual for one of her original appearance. The planet, castle and starscape backgrounds all look rather nice too. It looks great to me!

Very cute scan, and a nice starscape background. I am not sure the background is the most appropriate one possible, but it works well, colour-wise. It still looks quite nice though.

I love the Scream-chocolate: it looks about right for what I would expect from her cooking ;) For that picture of Arika, the picture of Nina should have shown a lot more anger, but it is a nice, and cute, wallpaper.

About time: a nice, dark (both figuratively and literally) Fate/stay night wallpaper! The brighter, cute wallpapers are nice, but this is what the series truly needs. I cannot quite tell what was in the original scan, and what was your work, so I guess that means you have done a pretty seamless job: always a good point! It looks great, and has the kind of atmousphere we need in this series.

I love that scan of Yuffie: she looks great in it! You have made some good selections of the other characters too, though I personally would not have picked two of Cloud --- one for each character, so I would have placed someone else there (Reeve, Marline, Sephie?), I am not sure if the background really compliments the rest very well, so perhaps a different choice could have been better there, but it is a nice wallpaper as it is.

Cute scan, and a great background. If anything, the background seems washed-out behind the scan, but that could be used to create depth --- to some extent. The resolution is a little odd too (square?), but it is a reasonable effort all round.

Wow, lovely scan of Tifa: I have not seen one quite like that before. The scale effect over the image, which I normally do not like, actually fits this wallpaper quite well. The background looks great too: that is how I remember the landscape of Advent's Children.

Nice wall DearS. Actually, it is just nice to find a DearS wallpaper that is not too ecchi to use ;) The colours go together nicely, and the wing-effect works quite good, though I am not sure that is the best character to use such an effect for (someone like Belldandy might have been better). I am not a big fan of the cross-hached background, but it works OK.

Wow, Ruri-ruri looks gorgeous there: that costume is totally her! Lovely background to the image too: really compliments it nicely. Best of all, they fit together seamlessly: I have not criticism to offer.

The character does not blend in with their background --- it is easy to see they were not originally together ---, but the details in the background are quite nice, and all-in-all it is a nice wallpaper.

Chikage... check. Butterflies... check. Kimono... check. Good looking wallpaper... check! Seriously, that is a nice wallpaper: it has everything a Sister Princess wallpaper should have :)

It is a nice scan, but the background itself is rather simple. It might have been better with a field of flowers, or something like that, as the background; maybe CLAMP accademy would have been good to, albeit a lot more difficult.

You must have touched up Saya's eyes and lips: they REALLY stand out (this is a Good Thing!). A very different imagery to other Blood+ wallpapers I have seen, but I rather like it; very well executed too!

I have been looking for something like that --- I also love the art of the original manga, and wanted a wallpaper that uses that. The wallpaper itself is nice, with some good effects added to it. I am not sure what that `thing' that wraps around them is supposed to be, though, and am not overly fond of it; the rest is quite nice still.

There is something wrong about Saber being that focused on a game... it must be a fighter! It is a simple wall, but that works well in this case: nice job!

Very moe! I am not sure I like the pattern going over their legs, but it is still a nice wall.

For the most part, that works quite well. It would probably have been better to use non-anime works of Range's for the photos, but they work well (Lavi looks similar to this girl). 'Fable' probably needed some kind of border around the text too, as the 'f' blends into a photo, obscuring it. Other than that, it is very nice!

A rather strange style, but I do not dislike it. Some bits are a little dark for the transparancy on the characters to work, however, making details hard to see if you are not really looking (eg I did not realise Mokona had antlers until I was looking closely). The basic idea works though.

Very cute! That was a nice scene in the manga, and you have done a great job of brining it up to wallpaper quality!

The base scan is quite nice, but I must agree that the background is too light: it is very difficult to make out your embelishments.

Personally, I think that using animation techniques of that sort would have ruined the YKK anime. There is a time and a place for everything, and YKK really should continue with Ashinano's style; if it looked like Naruto or something, I would stop watching in 2 minutes flat. The manga is very minimalist, so if the anime were overly detailed, it would ruin the mood. I rather liked the visuals as they were: it looked just like the world Alpha has been showing us for over a decade. The music is also rather appropriate --- I want `Cafe Alpha' on my phone! --- and it was good to be able to hear the gekkin.

While I also get the feeling that YKK might be ending, I do not think the world will end. Change --- there is no doubt about that --- but not likely end.

I think you have the wrong one: Kokone was always nice ;) Maruko is the one who is harsh at first, and only to Alpha; she had been nice to Kokone, and presumably Nai (as they sent each other letters), for a couple of years before she met Alpha.

The first anime has one VERY important part: we see Alpha's bad hair day animated! Come on, you know you love it ;)

In Japan, both were just called Cowboy Becop --- they added `Shooting Star' to the English title of one of them to distinguish the two.

`Shooting Star' was the first to be published, and is a parallel version of Bebop: the characters meet differently, and the plot is a little different. The art style is completely different too. It is a good read for hardcore Bebop fans, but nothing special.

The other is more like the movie, in that it set somewhere late in the TV series. The art style matches the anime much closer, and the plots are all shorts very much like we saw in the anime. A much better read for anyone who likes Bebop at all.
