Well, I'm using my own skin, too, but we're talking about the layout here [I mean, where and what stuff
shows up on each page], right? xD So, here's my two cents.
It would be really nice to change the positioning of the add banners and
switched to "sponsored" advertising, like AP does. Or, if that's not
an option, at least get rid of the ad at the top of the page -- maybe position
it somewhere else?
Other than that, I like this layout <3 Like someone else said, it works [>
it's functional and convenient]. What more could we want?
FFX - the game already has some pretty neat animation inserts - if they made a
movie or a short OVA series, I think it would totally kick @$$.
Also, Guilty Gear - that would be a pretty neat anime and a nice break from all
the lame "We're uber-powerful high-school students - let's fight!"
kind of fighting series out there.
Finally, I would *love* a CG movie adaptation of the Legacy of Kain game series.
I know it's not an anime game series, but the story is just TOO awesome.

Good morning everyone! It's really great... so many people want to speak in
Japanese...
@cygnostratus: ze is used to emphasize
the meaning of a sentence, to make it sound stronger, like an order or a
declaration [example: Ikou ze - Let's
go!].
Okies~ that's a nice attempt, but there are several things that bother me about
your wall:
- First of all, why in the world did you choose to make a "Vista
Kitty" wallpaper? Windows Vista and anime have absolutely nothing in common
[...and Microsoft is evil, too >.>].
- The character extraction is fairly good, but one can see that the stock that
you used is pretty low-quality [blurred outlines and/or colors]. When making
wallpapers, it's important that you use a high-quality stock.
- The background... *sigh* To me, it looks plain. *Too* plain. It's basically
just two gradients over a black background. You should try spending more time in
planning and doing your background - that's one of the most important points
when making the wall.
- Finally, the text... For one, why did you use such bright colors? It stands
out, of course, but it stands out a *bit* too much - and that's not good. As for
your signature in the bottom, you can barely read it.
The only advice I can give you at the moment is to try out as many tutorials as
you can, catch the basics, then develop your own style. Lots of luck! *hug*
...So, one of the fandom theories proves to be true at last... And I
also liked that they just reveiled it in a casual conversation between Jiraiya
and Tsunade and not like a big-boom Star Wars-ish revelation ["Luke, I am
your father!11one" anyone? lol].
...And
therefore, one of them is definitely Pein. And since Pein can switch bodies, I'm
taking that his previous body was that of Yahiko, and the body he switched to
[the long-haired one] is his true form... or?
Um... I don't know what to say o.O If you look at the photo of Jiraiya's old
team below, you can't find anyone that resembles Pein. Then again, Pein can
apparently switch bodies, so... *shrug*
Still, Yondaime is dead and from what I know, nobody can revive the dead without
giving their own life [like Chio's jutsu] or bringing back just a puppet
[Orochimaru's jutsu], so I doubt it's him. It could be one of the other two
members, though, or some other person that Jiraiya taught in the past [as he did
with Naruto].
Me and my boyfriend are pretty much opposites when it comes about little
things... He's shy, I'm outgoing; he's optimistic with a little bit of pessimism
here and there, I'm largely pessimistic; he prefers to listen in a conversation,
whereas I prefer to be the one talking. There are also significant diferences in
our IQ [Inteligence coeficient] and E[IQ] [Emotional (intelligence) coeficient]
~ his EQ is higher than mine, while my IQ is better than his. I love computers
and prefer to spend my time indoors, while he always wants to go
somewhere.
We do have some things in common, too, however, like we both like the same kind
of music, just about the same fashion, and dislike the same things.
Still, the biggest difference is that he's Japanese and I'm Romanian ~ how's
that for a gap? [Not
that we mind, though]
I'm a smoker, but I wouldn't encourage anyone else to start smoking. It's an
addiction ~ it's like a drug, you can't get rid of it [or if you can, it's very
hard] because your body is already used to the nicotine in the cigarettes and it
craves for more. As it happens to any sort of addiction, the more you smoke, the
more you feel that you want to smoke, and all in all, like LucyMizuno said, it's
a huge waste of health.
Drugs are even worse. If you smoke, you can die in, say, 10 or 20 years. If you
take drugs, it can take only one overdose to finish you off.
There's no room for comparing freedom of information [unliecensed or otherwise]
in Singapore and in more liberal countries, like the US, or even Japan for that
matter. Whether the images posted are true or fake, whether those stories are
true or not, doesn't really matter. What matters is that tenths of thousands of
people are downloading licensed materials off the net every day: movies, books,
series, anime etc. Nobody can arrest / fine / whatever ALL those people, even
thinking that way is ridiculous.
As for me, I'll keep downloading stuff ~ and buy it if I actually *like* it.
Nobody can stop me, eh?
So... the main issue is the background then? Can I modify the background without
using filters this time and re-submit it? I'll add a signature too, of course.
I believe that this wallpaper was deleted unjustly, since I put a lot of effort
into it [as I stated in my description]. Everything in the wallpaper was
vectored / rendered by me, and even though the overall result wasn't so bright,
I still think it deserved to stay in the gallery. There were no additional
comments in the BotChii message I received, so I'd like to know just what I did
wrong. Thanks!
True, but if I remember right, one of the episodic characters (I think it was
Havoc, but I'm not sure) mentions that Hei somehow managed to become free of his
Remuneration... *blink* I'll have to double-check.
Um. I'm not that much into the series to answer the question properly, but from
what I've seen, Yin behaves much more like a doll than like a contractor... She
lacks personal innitiative, and also I haven't seen her have any obeissance
after using her powers. I could be wrong though.
I kinda understand how you feel... I'm not aware of the situation that made you
decide to leave, but I sure know there are times when MT gets frustrating as
heck, and, yes ~ some people really do have an attitude problem
Good luck from now on with everything you do! *hugs*
This is a really hard choice... as always. My votes this time go for:
Rebirth By MapleRose
Larva & Miyu by gabychan
Awesome work everyone!

Omigosh, where did you find the special? o.O I WANT TO WATCH IT, TOO!
