Anyone else from a foreign country?

1 year 10 months ago

"I'm Romanian... My family is scattered all around the country and my dad says we have German descendency (my grand-grand-grandfather was German, he says). Although I like to think that deep down in my heart I'm Japanese. I Japan (and this doesn't have anything to do with manga and anime, by the way, it's just their culture, civilisation and history that fascinates me)."

What language do you speak and/or want to learn?

1 year 10 months ago

"I speak Romanian (that's my native language), English (which I know about as good as Romanian, since I've been studying it for about 12 years now), a little bit of French (although my accent is absolutley horrible and I couldn't make myself understood if my life depended no it ^_^'), and Japanese. I kinda like learning foreign languages, I think they offer you a slightly different perspective on life."

Alot of pictures/wallpapers saved to your computer.

1 year 10 months ago

"I have one or two DVDs I burned that are mostly with anime pics (scans, wallpapers, TONS of fanart and so on)... although I have absolutely no clue if I'm ever going to use more than, say, around 10% of everything. But just downloading them and then looking at the pretty pictures can be fun, I guess..."

most wanted- 2nd version

2 years 2 months ago

"The edges of the brick wall are definitely too rough. Besides, that's a 'real' texture (from a stock photo), isn't it? I don't know if it's allowed for a background here...

Apart from what Saa-chan mentioned, I'd also like to point out that you could try to use a different font for their names (maybe the same font as for the 'wanted' text, but with a different color). The one you used looks a lil' bit out of place, I think... Good luck! ;)"

Help~

2 years 2 months ago

"Well, it may be just my opinion, but I think that the image looks good the way it is, with that somewhat sketchy appearance... I like what you did with the background, but you may want to consider placing the text in one of the corners - it looks a bit out of place there - and also making it larger. Apart from that, good work ;)"

Samurai Champloo Fuu Wall

"Well, you could try to make the outlines of the sketch a little less rough, so that they can blend better with the background. Also, try making the lotus flowers in the corners a little less obvious, because they tend to distract the attention from the images that should be the main focus of the wallpaper. And finally... I don't know if the last version isn't a bit too suggestive... but then again, I think that's for the moderators to decide. Anywayz, I like your wallpaper. Good luck, and I hope you'll be posting in the gallery soon ;)"

Your thoughts on the "Da Vinci Code"

2 years 2 months ago

"I read the book and honestly, I'm not impressed in the least. Sure, there are a few interesting points about symbolics and all that, but apart from it it's just a big heap of nonsense. The author himself admits that most of it is fiction. I fail to see why people are so enthusiastic about the 'truths' revealed in it...As for the plot in itself, it's just another book about crimes, investigations, etc., etc. Nothing original there either. Honestly, I've seen / read better... No offense."

Will anime ever be extinct?

2 years 2 months ago

"Anime will never become extinct - for several reasons. First of all, as it has been stated before, there are basically an infinite number of ideas for new anime, and there will always be anime series that will bring something new. Second, there are too many fans out there for the producers to simply give up, and if such a thing will ever happen (I doubt it though), then the fans will make their own anime, and that will be that. And finally - let's face it, anime is a serious industry with millions and millions of dollars spinning - who would be willing to give up a source of income such as that? So I don't think such a thing will ever, ever happen."

Which mangas will never end?and why?

"Inuyasha will definitely never end... There are good series that can go on forever for all I care, like Bleach or Trigun Maximum (especially the latter), but there are other series that become worse and worse with every new volume. "

chopsticks...good at using them? prefer them over forks?

2 years 2 months ago

"I learned to use chopsticks about half a year ago, but I'm still horrible at eating with them, so I'd rather have a knive and fork at hand. When I'm alone I try to eat with chopsticks, but when I'm in public... well... there's no point in risking to get embarassed in front of everyone when I drop a piece of food ^_^'"

What Can U Not Live Without?

Subs or Dubs?

2 years 2 months ago

"I nominate subs all the way... okay, unless a dub is really, really good. But most dubs I've ever heard are horrible. For instance, I got myself a dubbed version of .hack//Sign, and I could only watch it up to the fifth episode, after which I simply couldn't stend those annoying voices any more and I had to wait until I found the original Japanese version. Dubs are annoying, and I also think that a bad dub is an insult to all the voice actors who have done such a hard work for a series. "

does inuyasha goning to continue??

2 years 2 months ago

"I think it will continue with some OVA-s at best... Things get much more interesting in the manga, there are new characters and new plot twists, not to mention lots of important events which continue the series. I think the series ended so sudden because the producers ran out of money and because the fourth movie wasn't that much of a success in Japan... Too bad. I've sort of lost my interest in InuYasha, too, since I found better anime series to watch. "

BLEACH-YOUR OWN PERSONAL ZANPAKTOU

2 years 2 months ago

" Name - Toushin (composed of two Kanjis, the first meaning 'Winter' and the second meaning 'Heart', which literarily turns the meaning of the name to 'Heart of the Winter')

Usual form - Like a usual katana, only a little bit longer and with a silver handguard.

Shikai - At the word 'Wakeru!' (Japanese for 'Split!'), the sword splits into two separate swords: Toushin and Kyoushin (the latter's name being composed of two kanji meaning 'Crimson' and 'Death' respectively, therefore 'Crimson Death'). Toushin's special ability would be that, when hit (or even scratched) by the blade, the oponent would feel their body go numb and cold and they would basically not be able to fight any more unless they were really strong. A hit from Kyoushin would result in excruciating pain (this ability is sort of a ripoff from Kurotsuchi's shikai though ^_^).

Bankai - The two blades combine, forming a single zanpakuto with the ability to turn into ashes anything it slices... but that would be very energy-consuming and very hard to control, so it would be preferable not to use it.

Yay for my 6 AM creativity spurr... :)"

Bleach fan corner

"At first I didn't like this series much... A friend gave me the first DVD, but I quit after seing half of the first episode. BIG mistake! A while later, she bugged me so much that I tried to watch it again and I've been a rabid fan ever since. This anime's got everything it takes - action, drama, romance (a lil' bit, anyway), LOTS of humour (long live the Ichigo / Renji bickering scenes - I just can't get enough of them! ^_^), fantasy - what more could you ask?

Can't wait to see episode 75... ^_^"

Je crois que tu dois changer la couleur de la plage (<-- the color of the sand - don't know the right words, sorry) - peut-etre essayer le fair jeune ou orange. Aussi, tu dois changer la texture de l'eau, faire it un peu plus variee.

Mais, ton wallpaper est tres 'kawaii' (cute) :) Bon chance pour l'avenir!

"Hello... I'm here... and I'm new.

Well, that was obvious, wasn't it? I'm an 18-year-old girl from the Land of Dracula, Romania (a thing wich I'm pretty proud of, considering I got to see Dracula's castle last summer and it was absolutely THE coolest place I've ever seen :P), I love anime (duh), web design, rock music (almost all genres, from NU-Metal to dark / gothic / black / power / whatever), reading, writing, and lots of other stuff that would take at least two or three pages to write here :)

My favorite anime series so far are Trigun, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam SEED Destiny and probably InuYasha, although I'm starting to get bored of the latter. As for manga, I Angel Sanctuary, Trigun Maximum and Bleach.

That's about that... see you around the forums! ;) "

Gundam

2 years 2 months ago

"So far I've seen only Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, so I don't really have any terms of comparision, but I think saying that Gundam SEED Destiny is one of my all-time favorites would suffice.

SPOILER (click to view)

...Although it really bugs me that so many characters die... From what I gathered, this is a characteristic of all Gundam series, but some deaths were still unexpected and unjustified, like Meer or Rey, for instance *sniff* Why Rey had to die?!
