Thanks for your comment on my review I
appreciate it very much
Just out of curiosity though - what didn't you like about the plot? I think some
bits were a little... confusing but I really loved how the characters and places
were based around real places, people and events.
I'm just new to reviewing (hehe and love the show so I may have been a wee bit
bias ^_^;) so different opinions are welcome I want to
get better
Honestly, there is nothing wrong with the plot. It is well-detailed. Problem is,
the plot have potential turn out much more better, they could make more story
out of it. It probably will get more better if they show Lia Beaumont as alive,
not dead. Maybe few episodes of her. Not that I don't like plot, story didn't
blows my mind. Arts did blew my mind. xD Kinda remind me of anime Red Garden,
Yukikaze, and some anime, plot have good plot but need more story to backing it
up. Get my vibe? I would give this anime 8 or 8.50 if I want to.
I think it is great review, nothing wrong with your review just little bit tad
high..I would be content with 8 but 9.33 that is almost perfect scoring. Maybe
it is me because I'm not person that easy to be pleased. You can see at my
ratings o_O
You can see that I want to review but I am not sure which person I should PM to.
I have a lot anime to review and I want to review. xD
Quote by KukuruIn the moderators defence:
perhaps it took them that long before your work was brought to their attention.
A lot of art gets submitted on this site and the people who run this site are
normal people like you and me - it's not like they sit here monitoring
24/7.
As for your doujinshi: it's not bad - the
overall concept is there, you just need to work on being more definite behind
your lines because as what was mentioned above, it tends to distract the viewer.
Pencil does allow for you to erase mistakes, but I don't mind with pen because
you can always try to work with what's there and sometimes you can rescue it
nicely (instead of rubbing out a million times and then getting fed up when it
doesn't work).
Looking briefly at some of your other work, you seem to get your influences from
manga - I always have problems with hair in that sense because I never have the
patience to draw in all the strands . Try working
by the motto 'Less is more' for now, and see how it goes.
Quote by KukuruHello I just
commented in a thread of yours and then decided to check out your userpage and I
saw that comment left by Mortiferatrinidad156 and I must admit I'm slightly
intrigued - what on earth was that anime you watched?
A swan marrying Underwear...
The world is a strange place...
I'm desperately trying to find the name of the anime, I've emailed the NolifeTV
team and left a message on the forum there... we'll see if anyone saw it too and
remembers what it was. If ever I find out, I'll make a huge post about it
because everyone should watch it, it really makes you question the sanity of
some people on this planet :p

Thanks so much for your feedback on my review - I appreciate it very much ! I must
admit, in submitting it I was a little worried (not just about the length ^_^;)
that perhaps I rated it too high - but compared to what I have seen I really do
think I've judged it quite fairly. Though as I stated, my view will probably
change as I'm exposed to more anime x-P
Story: hehe a friend also said that she started watching the first 6 episodes
and she thought it was okay. As I stated, I started watching from 11 - which
basically had nothing happening. If I hadn't seen such promising comments and
the art wasn't as beautiful I would not have continued much further with the
series. I do suggest sticking it out a bit more. Especially when the quartet
head into Europe because I feel that is when the storyline starts to pick up.
Plus, I'm a bit fan of sword fighting and a bit of magic thrown into a fantasy
storyline. So perhaps I'm a little biased in my story rating, but I did enjoy.
Art: Yay! I'm glad you agreed Actually, I
was doing a search on the net (trying to remember what the name of my first
screencap was) and I was surprised to find pictures of the actual Versailles
palace resembles the anime images. That just further impressed me
Voices: I started watching in the dub - is that what you were watching it in? It
doesn't help that the English voice actor for d'Eon is Orphen from Sorcerous
Stabber Orphen. I loved his voice as Orphen - don't like it for d'Eon. I'm not
familiar with Witch Hunter Robin - is it good?
Anyways - thanks again!
Hehehe...You're welcome I'd seen
pictures of Versailles and famous locations in France and specially Paris before
(not personally of course, just in the pictures ) I
don't think the art section of your review need revision cos it's already
detailed and very well analyzed. Also the plot summery, it gives the reader
enough info to send him/her watch the anime. You're review is informative so you
don't need to worry about it much.
Witch Hunter Robin goes way back to year 2000, so somehow it can be considered
old. (almost 8 years ago!) As its name says it's about witch craft. To be honest
with you, the characters drawings in Witch Hunter Robin reminds me of Le
Chevalier D'Eon alot. There's also nice drawing on the setting and background.
The plot is similar too, it's mixture of crime, suspense and thrill but with
much deeper concept. It's a nice story but you have to listen carefully and
follow up the episodes otherwise you'll lose the track of events. (Come to think
of it, the story's gloominess is a bit similar to Jigoku Shoujo too! Wow...I'm
connecting everything together!) You can find some wallpapers made for this
anime in the gallery. The atmosphere is gloomy and dark although some of the
events happens in daylight.
I won't make judgments and simply suggest you to watch it.
Personally I liked it a lot. Specially the theme song.
Quote by KukuruGenerally it's all downhill
by the time you reach 20:
-you're probably the tallest you'll ever get
-you're bone mass will be the most you'll ever have
etc.
You're quite tall already - you're due to have a growth spurt soon I'm sure
Thanks for the response
I guess I have quite some time to grow taller. Well, I want to grow at least as
tall as my Ma, about 5'9, that way, it'll be very helpful in playing the
attacker position, I'm not much of an exceptional leaper, so it's a big thing.
Take care, hope to talk to you again. Cheers all the way from Barcelona .
Quote by KukuruI see you've been busy
while I've been gone - I love what you've done with the place! Also, I believe
last time I was online, you name was only in italics - now it seems you've been
upgraded to moderator - hehe congratulations!
Plus lots more artwork to check out - I can't wait
Anyways maplerose, well I hope to talk to you later
[Oh! And I see you're still a Mwurrue defender - great to see ]
Hi Kukuru-san!
Long time no see, how have you been?
Lol, yeah I guess I've been pretty busy here ^^;; (addicted to the Internet DX )
Thanks, I'll do my best ^___^
[and yes, I'm still as obsessed with GS as ever >___> ]
Sorry, all that was the result of my laziness. After finishing the rough sketch
by pencil and the hair by pen ball, I was too bored of working on it so I just
completed it in the simpliest way I could think of at that moment (I get bored
very easily - no patience). I'm 14, so next time you can cut the part "-
san" out.
Thanks for dropping by !
Quote by KukuruWow - o_O so pretty! Where

don't know what else to say but I love it! You have so much
talent!
thankk you so muchhhhh..i dunno where i got my inspiration, i just finnaly can

Quote by KukuruI love water color - the
ability to blend colors and create such a soft enchanting scene... and you've
certainly created that here!
This is so beautiful! I was wondering did you sketch her first lightly in pencil
and then paint over her, or was it kind of a 'make it up as you went along'
thing? I ask because I've tried pencil before... but you can always see the
lines and it doesn't look as nice.
Anyways, thanks for sharing with us laverinne - I'm sure you friend will
absolutely adore it! I know I would
thank you so muchhh...glad you like it.At first i made a sketch with pencil,
then trace it to another paper to get a neat and tidy outline and use eraser
softly to make the outline thinner and colouring it.^^. If the outline still
seeing, i use darker colour to make it disappear and to create a
shadow.^^.
Haha..yes, he call me yesterday and said very thank youu....^^.thank you so
muchh..

Quote by KukuruThis piece is simply
gorgeous, though I admit I think I'm a bit of a bigger fan of some of your other
works.
I love her dress - it's beautiful - and the background is lovely. How did you
get to be so good! (hehe )
eehh...really?a fan?kkyaaaaaa....thank youu.i'm really happpy.Glad you like it.
Quote by KukuruWow! This is really great!
I love the mixture of canvas and photoshop!
Hehe I'd love to say more, but I'm just in awe of it's greatness :P
So I'll fav it instead
Quote by KukuruOoo I think I like this one
even more - perhaps cause in this one the character is looking much happier
(even though it looks like she is studying hehe).
I love the perspective in this! And yes, I believe you have changed the design
for the better - everything is so much more sharper and you can feel the depth
to the picture.
Another favorite from me A very
very fitting desktop indeed
yay! yatta!
thanks you so much for your nice comments ^_^
im so glad that i can sing from happiness! la-la-la~
have a wonderful day :3
Quote by KukuruHaha as soon as I saw this
I'm like 'Maple Rose'!
On the bright side - your thumbnail looks very nice I think
your scanner though was a bit mean showing the crinkles of the paper, but I
guess you can only do so much with paper and water
Background: I see what you were going for with blending of colors - personally I
would have used a bit of pink in there too ^.^ but you have a nice perspective
thing going with the sky and it's colors. The water turned out nice as well
Mwu and Murre: Aww I love this couple hehe
It's
a very sweet pose and while I do see what you mean about the arms - I don't I think it
works! Plus, for the record - I could tell they were standing on a balcony, but
I guess prehaps in some ways it doesn't look like it because it's very isolated
- though honestly I'm not sure how you would fix that... prehaps have other
buildings on the side as well... or a part of the building visible as well, like
a wall...
Well, I'm not too sure - but such a fitting scene Well done
again
hehe, I guess I have my own distinctive style?
yeah, it wasn't just the scanner though, the original is a bit wrinkly too... I
didn't start with thick enough paper, and I used too much water for the
background ^^; I'll try next time on watercolour paper and less water... Oh yes,
pink! That's what I forgot =_=... I'll remember next time, thanks!
yeah the arms were a pain... I tried many times, taking reference photos of
myself... but I guess it sort of worked and sort of didn't
I think I got the perspective of the balcony wrong and the angles or something..
hmm, maybe you're right, I should've put some sort of building attached at the
back or something...
thank u very very much for all those luvly comments! there were so many of them.
im really glad u took the time to express ur opinion fully. i really do
appreciate it! thank u 4 the fave on^_^ Let's Go Out For A Walk! ^_^ as
well.
Quote by KukuruWoo - Love Roy and Riza! I
so know what you mean about drawing Roy - I've drawn him once and he's looked
okay - the other attempts .
The one I drew that looked good was just a sketch, so I don't think I'll be
posting it in my gallery - plus his hand is a bit wierd .
Another character I have issues drawing is Winry - I just can't get her
right!
*FMA Spoiler!* << For anyone
reading your userpage :P The manga is different from the anime - once it gets to
the Greed bit in the anime - it totally diverges from the manga. The manga is
stil going. I liked the movie, but only because it was FMA, and well I love Ed
in Munich
Haha you said the ending wasn't what you expected - I don't think ANYONE
expected that - not even the creator Hiromu - apparently (though I'm yet to find
any
she drew some omake's paying out the end of the anime. It was DEFINITELY a twist
- eh I'm still undecided how I feel about it - I mean like I said, love Ed in
Munich, but the whole door thing seemed kind of inconsistent...
The OVA's were nice, I love the chibi one the movie after party - it was funny
as - Winry getting angry at Ed! *end Spoilers*
As soon as you mentioned Ed clock - I went straight back to your userpage to
check it out - love it! I want one... wonder if you can make them?
I trying to color in Lacus atm - it looks a bit amateurish though - and I was
about to get back at working on my Character profile of Ed - but I can't find my
images It's
quite depressing - I may have to start again
And as for your picture : Wow are they all voiced by the same person - that's
awesome! I haven't watched Noir - but I was reading about in Newtype the other
day - would you recommend watching it - it does look interesting from what I
read
Anyways, Happy New Year and talk to you later
I'm been reading stuff on wikipedia about the manga, and a lot of it is very
different than the anime, and there are lots of characters not in the anime
that's in the manga. But personally, I think I like the anime's interpretation
of the Homonculi better, because of the conflicts and stories of Lust, Sloth,
Envy, and Wrath.
I don't quite get the "Gate" thing either. I watched it twice and
still don't quite understand it. Because like you said, it is kinda inconsistent
to what was said (ie the "rules") near the beginning and near the end
(esp about Ed's body).
Yeah, I love the chibi after party OVA too. My fave
part has to be Roy getting the cold shoulder though I kinda felt
sorry for him, but couldn't help but laugh at him at the same time.
How long is the manga so far? and is Hohenheim in it?
I find Ed to be quite easy to draw, and Al (human form) is alright. I've never
attempted Winry actually. Aww, I hope you find your files, because it's a pain
to have to start all over again...
Noir, well, I guess it was all right. It's pretty good, but not my favourite.
The story can get confusing at times, but the characters are pretty likable.
It's about 2 assassins Kirika and Mireille going on a "pilgrimage to the
past", hiring themselves as assassins named "Noir", and along the
way they discover who they really are and what "Noir" really is. It's
pretty much all serious, there's no room for humour or gags or anything like
that. And there's no romance either (all the main characters are female, and
they're all awesomely skilled ), though
there is a bit of shoujo-ai, esp near the end. But the soundtrack is really nice
though, one of my fave soundtracks.
