As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

The highlight is also fantastic. But I think if Mouton would submit his as wall, would be too :P

@~Sophie Hello, don't them. Quite often they are in their own little worlds, especially when it comes to contests. How are you?

TSUBASA~Reservoir Chronicles--for SERIOUS discussion

"^lol, that was the Jade country (the snowy world with Kyle - teh Sakura feather obsesser xD *cough*), i loved clamp's art that featured that scenery (ish was pretty :3), i agree with you though, Sakura's character changed a good deal after the Tokyo world (it kinda scared me too O_o;;-happy smile-y Sakura turns serious and 'deadly looking'? <-lol maybe that's just the style of the Infinity world xD)

@LadyRelena - i'm getting the idea that you're being biased in judging Sakura after reading only the early chapters of TRC (where, yes, i admit, she doesn't really do much), Sakura isn't a static stand still character(clamp wouldn't do that to a character from CCS) if you actually read past (at least) vol. 5(ch 29+) and especially in vol. 16+(ch 117+) she definitely can't rely on the same Syaoran anymore(since that one is gone)"

When anime characters say OMG

2 years 10 months ago

"Ah...when Japanese voice actors use English in anime lol, it makes me happy (in the funny amusing way lol) but then again, it's only natural, not just for Japanese people but most east Asians in general (or so i think, at least, from my experience anyway hahaha, ah..listening to my dad attempt to pronounce some things in English makes me laugh lol)"

"I agree with Utena, i think you're being a little harsh towards the Tsubasa Chronicle Sakura, and she does become more like her cheerful self everytime another feather is recovered. (and in the most recent chapters she's been developed to be quite a strong character, personality-wise, imo anyway)
i mean, she's not a total damsel in distress/marry sue/girly girl/whatever else you want to call her, she tries to help the others as best as she can, like in the Piffle world she went with Kurogane to buy parts for the dragonfly race, heck, she even enters it and wins her own feather back, or in the Outo country where she helped around in the cafe (sure not too major, but she didn't do nothing), and most recently in the end of the X world, she went to retrieve the payment for Yuuko on her own (i must say she almost died on her way back)
yes though, in the early chapters (through about vol. 2-3/4-ish so actually around where you probably stopped), she didn't really do anything because she hadn't regained much consciousness yet, but that's not her fault :/

"^yes, the clothes are very gothic loli-ish x3
overall not too much happened in 138 as Utena said, more fights, another Sakura memory scene (minus Syaoran) and Syaoran gets hurts at the end of the chapter during a Chess battle"

do u get enough sleep??

2 years 11 months ago

"After going through school last year running on nights of sleeping at 1am and getting up at 7am (sometimes 6:30am for orchestra practices, i only got an hour or 2 more on weekends because i had weekend classes too D: ) i found that 5-6 hours is just not enough for me (falling asleep in pretty much every lecture period for History and English and then seeing some of my marks were ughh *shivers* don't wanna go through that again in my graduating year D: ) so now i get around 7-8 hours (9-10 on weekends since i don't have weekend classes anymore :DD)"

Dubbed vs. Subbed

2 years 11 months ago

iindigo
I think it's unwise to generalize and say ALL dubs are evil bastardizations of the original. Some dubs are quite good (no where near all though) and on occasion better than original voice talent. I keep a little rule while watching any new anime: if a dub is available, at least watch one episode dubbed. If the dub sucks, switch back to Japanese with English subs and all is good.

I really don't get the whole "lost in translation" thing either, because I've watched a couple animes both subbed AND dubbed, and the subs are almost identical to what is being said in the dub... I don't see what's being lost...

Although, I have to admit that the Naruto and One Peice dubs suck unbelievably badly...

i agree, not all dubs are horrible (though i have to say that things dubbed by 4Kids ends up pointing that direction >_>) but yep, if there's a new anime with a dub, i check out the dub and if it's bad i watch the sub. course overall i still watch subs more than dubs"

New Wallpaper

2 years 11 months ago

"I'll be honest and say i don't really understand your focus here in your wall^^;;;;
besides that:
- the stroke around the character has to go (it just doesn't fit)
- the background is very plain (i see: gradient + filter effect) and doesn't match your scan, you have a lot of empty space i suggest filling it up with something :3
- the scan also doesn't seem to be in a very good quality (unless you're going for the grunge-y style in your wall i suggest cleaning it up)
- you're missing a signature^^;

good luck :DD"

Fairy Wallpaper

"The second version isn't too bad, the only thing that kinda bothers me is that 'tree' texture behind your main scan. your main scan also (imo) too bright for your background making it seem out of place (white vs. dark, try to get a balance between the two) don't forget a signature :3"

Second wallpaper, & FIRST VECTOR:D

2 years 11 months ago

"I agree the brown toned one is better :3
the only few complaints is that some of the window lines seem blurry and the floor texture is weird O_o; the wall doesn't seem to line up with the bottom of the window either^^;;
last thing, i find the scenery outside the window too realistic (kinda too bold and draws attention away from the main character)
but yep..other than that, everything else looks alright :)"

yeah...after the X world it really makes you hope that the group gets a happy ending (poor Fye T-T)


yeah,after all the tragic story of X and lost all of the beloved one CLAMP should make a more happy ending...

yep, though i must say that the very first chapter of TRC made it seem like the series would end in a tragedy, but we'll all still hope for a happy ending for everyone^^


joelynndeng123
None of the characters should die. No matter how much some of you people hate that character. It would make me so sad to not see them again. When i first saw Sakura in chapter 136 I was all like "OMG! It's Freya!" hahaha. Sakura actually looks pretty good in lolita clothes. I am sooo glad CLAMP still has NOT lost there fashion sense.

LOL same, Sakura really reminded me of Freya (Chobits) lol, Sakura makes a good loli teehee"

Utena
If Kurogane killed Fai, I wouldn't like because well... after so much suffering there is a feeling that they need a happy ending; but the sadistic part of me would like, that end too. It would be even vaguely romantic in a twisted Clamp way (they said in X something like, the best way to die was to be killed by your loved one).
But while X was about impending fate and how futile was to try fight fate; Tsubasa has a more optimistic message even it if shares the same idea (hitsuzen and so on).

yeah...after the X world it really makes you hope that the group gets a happy ending (poor Fye T-T)"
