  1. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]This is getting close to nothing more than a this show is better than this show as well as a trip down memory lane of what we love about a paticular show. Instead of the topic of [I]What is the most popular anime now? [/I] How about finding other shows you think are among the most popular instead of coming back with[I] this show is better than the one you just listed[/I], bit. I'm going to start deleting those posts since they're becoming redundant and unnecessary. And speaking of most popular? From what I've seen at the fan sub site I visit, Lucky Star as well as Lovely Complex are pretty popular at the moment. And at the same time I see a lot of Bleach and Naruto popping up there too. Sure I see more of Bleach and Naruto, but only by virtue of the fact that both of them have way to many episodes. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  2. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Guys, lets keep the [U]off topic[/U] posts down to a minimum please. I deleted the last bunch. Anyway, since I'm here... 1 - Sailor Moon 2 - Fruits Basket 3 - Magic Knight Rayearth 4 - Cardcaptor Sakura[/FONT][/COLOR]
  3. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][quote name='Disenchanted'][SIZE="1"][COLOR="darkcyan"]The story still hasn?t moved on far enough for me to post my objective, as I need you guys over at the space station to do what I need to,[/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE]Heh, my objective isn't until we get over at the space station either. XP Anyway, I decided to sort of back track a tiny bit or rather fill in what Teresa was doing from the moment she left sickbay until Bishop contacted the group to inform them of the lock on the cargo bay. I hope Sakura and The Boss don't mind my using their characters a bit. I got the idea to have Teresa sort of stick her foot in her mouth a bit in regards to the Cameron bit. I can always change it if I got your characters wrong. Though I'd like to keep the part with the Colonel in there. Teresa is going to be poking DeSouza over that for some time to come. :p[/FONT][/COLOR]
  4. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Teresa couldn't help but stifle a chuckle of excitement as she dashed out of sickbay and headed to the storeroom on the lower level with all the military equipment. It came to no surprise to her that she was required to place her palm on the reader next to the door along with swiping her IDT tag and passing the retina scan. Even if the others had been cleared for this mission, they still lacked any military training. Lieutenant Vayne was already inside gathering the necessary equipment, pausing only briefly to see who had entered the room before going back to securing his equipment. "[B]So what do you think we'll encounter Captain?[/B]" He asked as Teresa started pulling out the necessary ammo and gear along with the small backpacks she would be giving to the non-military members of their group. "[B]Your guess is good as mine Lieutenant Vayne.[/B]" Teresa said with a shrug. "[B]Since there is no signs of life onboard I would imagine that it's possible that some sort of experimental equipment got out of control. I find it hard to believe that gravitational anomalies would appear on their own like that.[/B]" Both of them turned as the door opened to admit Major James who simply nodded before heading to one of the supply lockers. "[B]Well if it isn't the Colonel's least favorite person.[/B]" Vayne said dryly. "[B]I don't suppose you know why he seems to dislike you?[/B]" "[B]Vayne![/B]" Teresa protested. "[B]I don't mind,[/B]" Cameron turned to face them. "[B]Ms. Erickson mentioned that the Colonel's younger brother, Cameron, vanished without a trace. I haven't looked at his record, but I'm assuming I must either look like this other Cameron a bit or my name simply reminds him of his younger brother.[/B]" "[B]You're kidding right?[/B]" Teresa asked in astonishment as she hefted the three survival packs she had grabbed over her right shoulder, resulting in her back facing the door. "[B]Well that's just lame if you ask me.[/B]" The moment she said that and saw the other two stiffen Teresa knew that statement was a mistake. [I]Gods, he's behind me isn't he? Hell![/I] She turned slowly to see the Colonel standing right behind her, his hands loosely clasped behind his back and a stern look of disapproval on his face. "[B]Perhaps you'd like to explain just what you find lame Captain?[/B]" At that moment Teresa wished she could sink through the floor. "[B]Yes sir, I was just explaining to the other two how lame it is that I'm behind schedule with getting the survival packs and basic weapons to the non-military members transporting over.[/B]" Teresa saw her chance and took it. "[B]I'll correct that immediately sir![/B]" With a salute she took off, dashing around him and out the door. Only after she had practically ran to the meeting place just outside the door to the transport room did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. And fortunately the following mess with Dr. Rhodes seemed to take Colonel DeSouza's mind off the incident in the supply room. As Dr. Henderson turned to leave Teresa had to wonder if Dr. Rhodes reaction was more from fear than any real snobbery. After all, it seemed that she had never been out in the field before and if it made her nervous, for someone who had no military training it had to be even more nerve wracking. She had given Dr. Travis the small backpack with basic medical supplies, a field jacket and a few other necessities. He had simply followed her instructions and fastened the smaller sidearm on, and though he too seemed nervous as well he had simply covered it with a wry smile. Teresa was wondering just when they were going to transport over when the pilot, Bishop, contacted the Colonel, informing him that he had a good lock on one of the cargo bays.[I] Finally! [/I]She thought. [I]The sooner we get this taken care of the better! [/I]Teresa leaned back a bit against the wall and waited for the Colonel to simply give the word. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  5. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]No problem Rev, I went ahead and put together a short article for the signature size bit. XP Anyway, it's up. There were some articles I didn't get and I wasn't able to finish the sci-fi challenge one. In addition to being busy, I've been having the issue of having times when I can't get online since the cable Internet I have is being swamped by the return of nearly 50,000 students to the two universities here. XP Every year, the first two weeks of school result in slower than snot Internet or days where I can't get on at all. With the population constantly getting bigger around here, I wish those dummy's would quit being so damn cheap and upgrade more often instead of waiting until we all complain because we can't get on. Anyway, at least it seems to be better. For a while there, it was really annoying. [/FONT][/COLOR]

What are you watching, reading, listening to, or playing now? And it can be answered a million different ways. I decided to do an interview with the visionary mastermind 2007DigitalBoy, and find out why he's been camping these threads so adamantly. [B]Totally not DB[/B]: So, DB, what inspired you to create the 'What are you watching/reading now?' thread? [B]DB Original [/B]: 'Twas a conglomerate of ideas, my dear Watson. T'all began o'er at the forums entitled 'Megatokyo.' 'Tis a thread eponymous of my own. There I did find residence amongst the random lists and standalone comments constantly announcing every little tweak in my viewing or reading schedule. 'Twas the date of my birth upon the arrival of many a DVD on which I proclaimed that I ought a place where things could be spoken of on OB where no thread need be brought about for but a whimsical viewing of which no eyes would glance. [B]Watson?[/B]: I... see... I think. So, it was a complete fluke that the other threads created by Revy came into being that same day? [B]Original[/B]: Yeah, well, it was like... I sent this big-*** PM to Dagger cuz I was like, all scared n' junk over whether I'd be breakin' rules or som'n like that, n' by the time I got a reply, them other threads was already up. N'then, like, Revy ain't create onea'dem janks up in the anime forum or nothin' so I headed over there n' done it myself. [B]NotDB[/B]: Are you feeling alright? [B]Original [/B]: Undoubtedly. Do I speak as though I suffer ailment? [B]NotDB[/B]: I mean... can you take this seriously? Just for a couple minutes, I mean this is for the newspaper, it's my job. [B]Original [/B]: Right, right, I'll do that then... [B]NotDB[/B]: ... [B]Original [/B]: ...really... [B]NDB[/B]: ...okay. So, from what I've heard, you've been acting totally full of yourself over the success of this thread for no real reason, not to mention half the posts in the threads are your own anyway... [B]Original [/B]: Wait, what? Who's saying that? For real? [B]NDB[/B]: Ah... never-mind... [B]Original[/B]: Seriously, man! That's not cool, alright? I mean, those threads are awesome. They're non-restrictive, and if you just want to bring up something little, you can do so without the need of a big thread, and that way people actually read what you say about that stuff, so it's like a community thread and stuff and... [B]NDB[/B]: I can't do this anymore. I'm out of here. [B]Original [/B]: I'm not done bragging yet!

Though the discussion was brief members now can toss off the shackles of limited 500 x 100 banners and enjoy the newest signature size 550 x 120. Though the idea has been brought up before, perhaps most remembered as a point in the rpg FQFG where the terrorists were demanding a signature size increase, it wasn't until member Andy brought it up again in the Suggestion & Feedback section of the boards before an increase was finally done. Though as Boo said in the classic Charles picture response style in the Otakupedia thread: [CENTER][IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/signaturepics/sigpic2223_2.gif[/IMG][/CENTER] It was clear that the 'terrorists' from that rpg were claiming credit for the new signature size.

How bout I wrap my lips around ya and let ya melt in my mouth? I wanna feel your creamy texture on ma tongue... I wanna lick you off ma lips when I'm done. But first, I wanna ask ya... what kinda chocolate are ya baby? [B]FACT[/B]: Chocolate comprises a number of raw and processed foods that are produced from the seed of the tropical cacao tree. So, if you were a chocolate bar, what kind would you be? That's what Lady Asphyxia asked the OB, and not just that. She wants you to be creative. [I]What would your wrapper look like, and what would you be called?[/I] Come on now baby, tell her all about it.... [B]FACT[/B]: The cacao tree is native to lowland tropical South Africa, where it was cultivated for three millennia by the Maya and Aztec civilizations and made into a beverage known as xocolatl, an Nahuatl word meaning "bite water." Answers came in all shapes and... tastes... with names like "[B]Dark Obsession[/B]", "[B]CLURR[/B]", "[B]ALMOST-CLURR[/B]", "[B]nutella[/B]", and "[B]Irish Love[/B]". Some party poopers tried to claim they'd be melted, but deep inside, I know they longed to hold the flavor of rich goodness as they sweetened up someone's life. So what say you? Will you be my box of chocolates, baby, or melt in my hand? Head down to the thread and tell me all about it... [B]FACT[/B]: Wikipedia knows a lot about chocolate. :p [SIZE="1"]~Article submitted by:[URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/member.php?u=29754"] [U]2007DigitalBoy[/U][/URL][/SIZE] [center][aname=iss3Creative Works][b][SIZE="6"]Creative Works[/SIZE][/b][/aname][/center] [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=57681"][B][U]The Challenge: A Survivor Story [PG ? LV][/U][/B][/URL] [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=57681"][U]The Challenge: A Survivor Story[/U][/URL] is an OtakuBoards fan fiction based off of the fourth installment of Sandy?s highly successful [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=56280"][U]OtakuBoards Survivor[/U][/URL] series. However, unlike many fan fictions posted in the OB Anthology section of OtakuBoards, this one came entirely from a dream one of the then current players had. In the actual Survivor RPG the team, The Sunflowers had lost the recent challenge to the opposing team, The Aces. As is required The Sunflowers voted to evict one of their own teammates, but in a strange twist of fate each member received one vote each. Sandy then placed the decision in the hands of The Aces, but the decision did not come immediately and that?s when SunfallE dreamed about the challenge and decided to convert it into a story format and post it in the OB Anthology. Unlike the true challenge where The Aces had made their decision to evict SunfallE, at the time when she posted the first chapter to her strange dream, The Aces had yet to post their choice. In the dream, where everyone lived at OtakuBoards as if it were real; Sandy, disgusted with the lack of a quick response from The Aces, and the constant complaints he had received during the duration of the Survivor RPG, decided to literally evict them into the real world. He placed bounties on their heads so that the local authorities of the ?real world? would hunt them down and catch all of them. The goal of the challenge was to be the last one caught and thus earn the right to evict one person from the Survivor RPG regardless of what team they were on. And then, in spite of the protests of the remaining nine Survivors, they were tossed into the real world by indifference, in the middle of a busy mall no less! Leaving BKstyles, SunfallE, Aaryanna, Aaryanna_Mom, Shy, Rachmaninoff, Ezekiel, White and Keyblade Wielder to figure out how to avoid the authorities and to be the last one caught. Sandy claimed that indifference had given them protection against being killed while they were in the real world, but not from being shot by the mall security and local police that came after them immediately. Though those shots were converted into jolts of electricity. The entire dream from start to finish ended up being six chapters long with all sorts of fun and hilarious attempts by the Survivors to evade the authorities as well as being ?captured? as Sandy would call it as each time someone was caught, he would announce it over the mall?s announcement system. Though SunfallE woke up just before the challenge would have ended, it was close enough that she wrapped it up to match how things really went in the Survivor RPG as well as tossing in the revenge that the Survivors were plotting against Sandy. Something that as Gavin commented on in the thread: [INDENT][I]I can taste the irony, and I have to say, it tastes good. I really enjoyed the story SunfallE and as weird as this sounds, I hope you dream about OB more often, just so you can supply us with a few more cool stories.[/I][/INDENT] The short story was well received and several members also wished that SunfallE would have more dreams if only to provide more stories like the one she had posted. [SIZE="1"]~Article submitted by:[URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/member.php?u=20994"] [U]indifference[/U][/URL][/SIZE] [B][U]Special Interview of 2007DigitalBoy creator of the successful rpg The Panopticon:[/U][/B] [B]So what strived you to go forth with the Ponopticon?[/B] I got off extremely lucky with the Panopticon - it's an opportunity not a lot of people get. There had already been two RPs with this style - the Maze and the Labyrinth - both of which had a lot of high-profile role players participating. The Maze was the first rp I had been in years, and the Panopticon was my first ever-successful rp. When I created it, I already knew that it would have great players who would want to constantly keep it going, and that it would solidify my place as a host, meaning I'd be set for future projects. I'll be the first to admit that I made a lot of mistakes with the Panopticon, mostly in regards to the story itself, but I also created a unique and awesome experience that I doubt many will soon forget. The biggest driving factor with the Panopticon was just knowing that I could be really experimental with it and have a lot of fun creating it. There were certain posts in that rp that took up to 5-6 hours to create, from the posts themselves, to the graphics and images and art.com pages and even 3 videos that I created - I've personally never seen that much work put into an rp by the host. I couldn't have done any of it, though, without being able to work with so many amazing writers. Even though we argued and fought like children in the (revolutionary) underground thread, our collaborative effort created an undeniably great experience from every perspective. This is one of the few stories one can say they had more fun writing than people might have reading. When I remember the Panopticon, it's not just the 7-page story I think of, but all the fun and melodrama of the underground. Even though I made some huge mistakes, at times was hated by everyone participating, and the story didn't always go in the direction I wanted, it was a great time creating what any reader will surely see as an amazing story. [B]Has it made an impact on your membership now?[/B] Immensely. When I open my buddy list, half the members in there are people who played in the Panopticon with that I never would have become so close to if I hadn't spoken to there. Almost every day, I talk to Indifference and Rachmaninoff like good friends - I keep in touch with SunfallE and Allamorph and even consider all of them to be like my OB family. Not only that, but as I said before, it very much solidified my place as an RP host. I find this kind of funny, because even though I was granted the title 'Worst RPG Host Ever' by unanimous decision, I was still remembered positively. Because of that, I've created Esper Jam (although that is now in the possession of GuyYouMetOnline - formerly Takuya whom is an amazing and far more experienced game master than myself), which I had fun with for some time, and now Shinigami Dance, which I'm incredibly excited about and have done a LOT more planning for, lol. In the end, the Panopticon really changed my OB experience on every level. Before, I was always known as the sort of scourge of OB, which sucked because I've been here for so long and I?m ALWAYS here, so it's a miserable experience to have no friends here. Now I have all these friends from that, and the OB has become a lot more fun for me. I cannot thank those people enough for being so supportive of me. What was the story behind Esper Jam? How did you come up with the back story? Hm... I cannot fully recall all of the origin of Esper Jam. It really sort of came into existence all at once. The first thing, as is true for most of my projects, was the name itself. I wrote the word 'Esper' and I thought 'Jam' gave it a nice ring. First, I knew I wanted it to be about bending reality. I've never been a fan of most rps mostly because they are always some anime-like bullcrap that bores me to tears. I wanted to make something with no boundaries - where existence itself wasn't even solid. So I started with the opening paragraph of the sign-up and I thought it sounded like it might be a speech given at the start of a school year at a college or something. From there, I thought it might b interesting to create a sort of college environment, but I didn't want to do a school story since it seemed to cliché. I finished up the sign-up with that in mind and just sort of wrote it with little idea of what I was doing. All the planning was done on-the-spot and between waiting for the sign-ups and creating the thread I decided how I wanted the flow to be - it would start out as a slice-of-life and gradually a conspiracy would come to attention - basically, it was to be like Psychonauts in an RP. It didn't turn out that way, though, which is how I lost interest. [B]If you had stayed 'Tical Blue', do you think any of this would come into play? Did "DigitalBoy" really change much?[/B] First of all, you must understand that there was a couple months between the death of T_B and the real life of FOY (Flourecent Optic Yellow - my first name on this profile.) The name 'Tical' in one form or another has been my name on everything since forever. T_B may have been the biggest representation of the death, but I killed Tical everywhere at once. I no longer use the name except on youtube cuz I've got so many favorited videos, lol. T_B was the death of my entire old mentality - a whole part of my life. Back then I was on OB and another site a lot, and after a huge incident in my life, I stopped going to that site entirely, and got rid of T_B here. When I came back as FOY, I wanted to pretend to be a whole different person. For a while, I only talked about things that I had never talked about as T_B, but more importantly, I changed my posting style. I made sure every post was very long, and I even typed them in MSWord for good spelling and stuff. Because I have always dreamed of being a mod on OB, I was hoping to make a good impression all the way. Later on, I screwed up in a moment of weakness and became less-liked again, which ended up leading to the realization that I was definitely. Up until not long ago, I was still being looked down upon, mostly because I was depressed and liked to say stupid things out of angst. Only since my depression has ended have I become such an apparently more respected member of OB. Back when I was T_B I changed my name every 3 months or so to whatever I felt like. I've used DigitalBoy for around 9-10 months now. I take everything I am given, and I am what I am, and I plan to keep this name for years to come. DB and Tical are two very different people, indeed, but just because of that DB is not a better person. It's only because DB has become stronger that I am where I am. [B]Well, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now really. If you hadn't apologized to me, I wouldn't have a role model, and my post quality would be bad. So do you think you're a good role model for new members?[/B] I probably sound like a jerk for saying so, but definitely. I think I am probably the most friendly to new members, because the minute I see a new member, I often talk to them. Sometimes it's just if they have similar tastes to me, but when I see a new member with great pst quality, I PM them and tell them how cool it is to have them here, and when I see a new member with terrible quality, I PM them and give them some pointers. I always like to see potential future megaposters of OB, and I want to keep them here. Members like Affection, Konata (congrats to both of them on being Members of the month!) and Kanji all make great additions to OB. I find that new members also sometimes approach me, unprovoked, with questions. Probably because I post just about everywhere, and I've got that easygoing-but-knowledgeable air to me XD Prem, you in particular are a special case, since I mostly started helping you since I felt bad about horribly insulting your first story XD. I bet you're happy for that thrashing now, though, eh? [B]What members have made an impact on you for that matter?[/B] A lot, throughout my history on OB. There's always been a certain member or group of members who I looked up to. The very first was The Boss, whom without I probably would have never started hanging out here in the first place. The first member to ever make an especially large impact on me, though, was Dragon_Warrior. D_W is a creative genius in every field. He's made comics, rps, stories, parodies, games and so much, all of which always bewildered me. I loved his stories and followed his posts religiously. I even called myself the white mage for a while, lol, out of desire just to be anything like him. I really idolized D_W. I've always wanted to be like the great posters on OB who are great and intelligent. I've always felt like sort of the kid on OB and everyone else was an adult who I wanted to grow up to b just like. I always put everyone else on a pedestal, like their opinions were more important than mine and they really knew what they were talking about, so I strived to be like that. Over everyone else, I always wanted to be like the mods in all their glory, lol. I think that these days I feel like I am one of those people. I feel like I am well-known on the OB and that my opinion is paid attention to, even if disagreed with, so it's like I'm living the OB dream, lol. The people who influence me most are my friends like all the people mentioned in my sig (you too Prem!) and people like Jakehammaren and Dagger who have influenced my tastes a lot. If there is anyone on OB who I still idolize, it is Desbreko and James. Anyone can agree, they are the epitome of greatness. [B]What's your next plan? Any projects you have in mind?[/B] Well, I really want to concentrate as much as possible on Shinigami Dance for the time being. Seeing as school will start soon, I won't have the kind of time I do now to go around creating rps and managing them. I like it that way, because I am really enthusiastic about SD. As far as literary works go, I will have something going soon. I am working on a pretty grandiose multimedia project that I hope will be well-received. I'm not sure if it'll work out, since it's a story I've been trying to do for over a month now, but hopefully I can work out. I like what I've got so far. In fact, by the time this newspaper is published, yo'll probably at least be reading the beginning of it. Look forward to/look for the Shotgun Dance by Conrad (Digital Boy) C! [B]If you were to meet all the members you've mentioned, what would you do to/with them and why?[/B] Heh. If I met Jakehammaren, we'd sword-fight while listening to ensiferum, and we's circle-head-bang in unison. If I met you, I'd *****-slap you, laugh for a minute, then we'd go eat at Wendy?s and every car ride I'd force you to listen to my music. If I met Fyxe, the two of us would hang out in an arcade and play DDR and probably hug as often as possible. If I met Rachmaninoff, SunfallE, and Indifference, I'd use the fact that they're so much older to trick them into paying for my food, and we'd probably talk about something intelligent but not-quite-that-intelligent and then I'd force them to watch tons and tons of anime with me. If I met Allamorph, we'd have tea and crumpets. I wouldn't mind going to an anime con with Konata and Dagger or watching Desbreko play Zelda like a badass. Or [strike]sleeping with[/strike] talking to FasteriskHead. If you could have changed anything you've done throughout your OB history, what would you change and why? I never look back!

The story begins when Hayate is fired from his job as a bicycle delivery boy because the boss discovers that he's only 16. When Hayate gets home, he finds a not from his parents that they have left him with a debt of over 1.5 Million yen (around 600,000 bucks) and that they have sold his organs to the yakuza. Hayate escapes the yakuza's clutches and in a moment of depravity, attempts to kidnap a 13-year old girl named Nagi Sanzenin. Via semantics, Nagi mistakes his threat to kidnap her for a confession of love, and when she is kidnapped by a pair of real kidnappers, Hayate ends up saving her with his amazing Gundam-like strength and skill. Hayate ends up working as Nagi's live-in butler because he is in her debt, and Nagi is absolutely ridiculously rich. Hilarity and madness ensues. The first chapter of volume 4 finishes where volume 3 left off, and the second chapter begins the second logical 'arc' of the story. For those following the anime Hayate no Gotoku, everything in volume 4 has already happened, but earlier in the story because the animators wanted to introduce the more popular characters from the beginning. The basic plot of volume 4 revolves around Nagi's school, Hakuou Gakuin. Nagi hasn't been to school in a long time out of general disinterest, so Hayate convinces her to go at the start of the next semester. After an adventure (and awesome Utena parody) involving bringing Nagi her lunch, Hayate begins to realize how much he misses his own high-school days and finds out that he is no longer enrolled at his old school, but a certain student has not forgotten him. Then, Maria and Nagi try to get Hayate enrolled at Hakuou Gakuin. Hayate the Combat Butler volume 4 continues the silly, wacky, and often hilarious adventures of Hayate and the gang while adding a whole new layer to the plot. Whereas the first 3 volumes were focused only on the group of rich folk with connections to Nagi, volume 4 takes an entirely new direction. It introduces a whole new set of characters and new environment to show them in. The only problem with this is that rather than balancing between the school and rich folk settings, almost none of the rich folk show up at all in volume 4. That is most likely due to the fact that the school characters are commonly noted as being far more popular than the others, and so it is obvious that the author would want to feature them as much as possible, and since volume 4 lays all of the groundwork for the new setting, it leaves room for both stories to be active at once in future volumes. Volume four thankfully tones down the references a little bit, which is helpful because the references in Hayate are often forced on the reader and only tend to subtract from the experience for anyone who doesn't get them (it's hard to, since most of them are bleeped.) Hayate is always an incredibly absurd story, with cheesy robots, talking tigers, mechs, the occasional cross-dressing, and a room full of monkeys, but as the series has progressed, there have been less silly gags, and a lot more focus on character development, and this is especially true in volume 4. Aside from Hayate pulling out a machine gun to fight a mech and the occasional absurdity, Volume 4 goes more in the direction of a harem-comedy. Overall, if you have read any of Hayate and enjoyed it, volume 4 will not disappoint. It's also a good idea to watch the anime, Hayate no Gotoku, along with it since there are a lot of differences that are greater appreciated having witnessed both.

In case you're new to the series, Mushi-shi is an episodic anime starring a traveling Mushi-shi or "Mushi Master" named [B]Ginko[/B]. In each of his adventures he deals with the mysterious life forms known as Mushi - the earliest life forms of the earth and the ones closest to nature. Where mushi and man coexist, sometimes the mushi create phenomenon unexplainable to regular people. A Mushi-shi roams the earth and helps people deal with their problems involving Mushi. Each episode features different characters and Mushi who Ginko interacts with. The series is known both for it's creative stories unlike any other and it's cosmically outstanding artwork that outshines all others. While staying completely faithful to the manga, the anime creates a lush, vibrant world with meticulous attention to detail. Having already seen the anime myself and possessing the manga, I already knew what to expect from the first 5 episodes which are the same as the 5 chapters featured in the manga's first volume. Even so, it was still fun to see these stories again, and they barely loose their intrigue. Just for fun, I actually read the manga along with one of the episodes and found that it matched up image to image, word to word, except that the anime had far more detail. Whereas your average manga-turned-anime that remains faithful to the original work usually takes each individual panel and blows it up to fullscreen, Mushi-shi goes above and beyond the call of duty. Rather than simply blow up the individual images, it's like they placed them on-screen in their natural size and then drew in the rest of the scene, adding onto the images. The English dub of the series is very well-done, though there were certain times where an americanized version of a phrase became annoying. The only one that was particularly bad being that the word "Mushi-shi" is never even used, completely replaced by the term "Mushi Master". Other than that, though, there are no real problems. Ginko's voice is fitting enough, though it actually makes him feel slightly older than his Japanese voice did. The guest characters in each episode were well-casted to the point that I wondered if Funimation was really the company behind this. Having covered the show itself, it's time to get down to what makes this release so worth having. Firstly, the extras on the disk include a ten-minute dialogue between the director and Ginko's Japanese voice actor, a twenty-minute interview with the director himself, a brief tour of the animation studio who created the series, and of course the clean opening and closing animations. These bonus features are quite impressive and give a fairly thorough insight of just what went into making this show. On on note, it's painfully obvious that the director was not used to talking for a camera, and his dialogue with the voice-actor was almost hilariously strained, but still enough to hold my attention. Ignoring the Funimation ad-booklet, the DVD is enclosed with a couple interesting bonuses of it's own. The 10-page information booklet truly flaunts just how much this release is brilliant. Contained within are concept sketches of each major character who appears in the 5 episodes, as well as director commentary on he designs of Ginko. One of the pages is even dedicated to comments on a few of the interesting minor details presented in these episodes. Also enclosed with the DVD is a post card of one of the well-known images associated with the show. The cover of the DVD is also a flip cover. On one side, there is an image of Ginko trudging through the snow that covers both sides of the case. The other side has separate images from the second episode on the front and back. The blurb is left off of the cover entirely in favor of the slip-cover. The DVD slip-cover features the same image of Ginko in the snow, presumedly so that you can use the flip-cover on the DVD itself and still have both images. My only complaint about the slip-cover is that it's so form-fitting that it's almost difficult to slide the DVD case into, but it's sturdy and beautiful so it's excused. But wait, there's more! If you purchase the art box along with the DVD you're in for even more surprises and more beautiful art. The insert box that sits next to the first volume to hold it in place is quite different than most art boxes. Rather than a flimsy half-box that only serves to hold the DVD in place, there is a full box that itself is littered with art. On one side, the picture from the post-card, and on the other, a new image in the same general setting. What I am to do with this box after buying the next DVD I am not sure, but it will surely remain displayed. Moving onto the actual art box, it features a wrapping-around image of Ginko walking through a field of green mist and interesting plants with, of course, the title printed on the side, top, and bottom. Alone, this would mark a beautiful spot on your shelf. But it doesn't stop there. The art box itself actually has it's very own slip-cover with it's own wonderful art. Not only that, but the blurb on the back of the box is only stuck on by an easily-removed glob of stick, so the art can completely surround the box. This way, you can marvel at the wondrous Mushi-shi world while you grumble over having to go through all this trouble to get to the disk. Mushi-shi is a beautiful series, and this is a beautiful release worthy of any fan's small bit of extra money. [SIZE="1"]~Review submitted by:[URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/member.php?u=29754"] [U]2007DigitalBoy[/U][/URL][/SIZE] [B][U]Air TV Vol. 1 (DVD Review)[/U][/B] To many otaku it came as a bit of a surprise when [B]ADV[/B] licensed [B]Air[/B] - an anime from [B]Kyoto Animation[/B] based on a bishoujo game by [B]Key[/B]. Of course, the words [B]'From the makers of Haruhi Suzumiya' [/B]on the show's web-page made it quickly obvious how they were going to try and sell it. Because it isn't the type of show with mass appeal, though, it wasn't really expected that ADV would go all-out with it. The first DVD is the sort of standard release expected of an ADV anime. It's got a pretty cover and 4 episodes, and that's all they really intend to sell you. There isn't even an insert slip inside the case, not that it's really a problem. As far as the DVD extras go, it's standard again, with 6 ADV previews, a clean opening and ending animation, and the option to watch Japanese audio with english subtitles. The English vocal cast of Air is one of the better I've heard, if not among the best. [B]Vic Mignogna[/B] ([B]Edward Elric[/B] in [B]FullMetal Alchemist[/B]) does an excellent job as Yukito excelling in both comedic and dramatic portions. Some of the characters, such as Kano, had voices very different from their Japanese counterpart but still very fitting. The best of them all was [B]Lucy Christian[/B] as Haruko Kamio who played a stirringly believable drunk. Her lines consistently felt so natural it was creepy. For those who don't know the story of Air, the blurb does a pretty good job of explaining the premise. [I]"Yukito is a traveling performer - a wanderer. He survives with only the clothes on his back, a puppet, and a story from his mother - the story of "The Girl in the Sky." He doesn't know who or where she is; only that he must find her. On the verge of starvation, he is befriended by a young misfit named Misuzu, who's eccentricities serve to hide a troubled home life. Misuzu offers Yukito a place to stay, and in return he listens to her dreams - dreams in which she lives in the sky. To make ends meat, Yukito takes odd jobs from the local doctor, where he meets Kano, who has her own interesting story. As his search moves forward, Yukito finds that the possibilities are as numerous as the pitfalls. Will he find the girl in the sky? Does she even exist? The answers change with the breeze. The questions are up in the air."[/I] Because it is based on a game with multiple character paths to take, the Air anime has quite a few arcs, based on whichever character the most focus is placed on. The first DVD has the 4 episodes that make up the arc about Kano, so it has a perfect climatic ending for the DVD. With the way that the DVDs are set up, this should work for each arc of the series, which should be interesting. As for the show itself, it is absolutely wonderful. Kyoto Animation are renowned for being the best in the biz in terms of animation, and this anime showcases their excellency thoroughly. I found myself at times analyzing the details to the extreme and being absolutely sucked into the vibrant and alive world created by the series. The early episodes featured on this release have the perfect blend of comedy and drama to get anyone into it. Whereas one minute you might be laughing heartily at the hilarious situations brought onto the misfortunate Yukito, the next you'll be sobbing like a child at the dramatic and often heartbreaking plot twists. Air holds the record for the fastest time to have me on the verge of tears, doing so within the first 3 episodes. Air is an excellent show that shouldn't be missed and that anyone can get into. I'd advise you to pick up volume one as soon as possible so you'll be able to save your money for the art box that comes with volume 2.

  7. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][quote name='2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Is volume 3 lost in space? Seems like it's been a while...[/COLOR][/QUOTE]It's lost in the fuss of being back to school, my being in too many rpgs, and having tons of relatives over since it was my mom's birthday this past week.

  11. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Alright, Tasha is obviously alone, except for the two minds that she had already found. By virtue of being within her psychic shields they were not separated from her. At least that's my reasoning. Hehe. Anyway, feel free to have Vanyel find her if you wish indifference, or not. XP She's still going to head for the top of the small hill she's on, even though she's realized that without more light she won't be able to see very far anyway. lol[/FONT][/COLOR]
  12. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Something hard was digging into her side, forcing Tasha to shift to get more comfortable, even as she semi wondered how she managed to fall asleep on something so rough to begin with. But before she could drift back to sleep the realization of what had happened hit and with a start she attempted to scramble to her feet. She didn't get far before waves of dizziness forced her back to her knees. [I]What happened?[/I] Tasha vaguely remembered something about the energy on the planet suddenly moving to the core of the planet and then back out again. She reached up with her hands to massage her temples in an attempt to ease the throbbing headache she had. Try as she might, once the energy had hit, it was if her shields were non-existent. The whole thing had nearly caused her to lose the two minds that were anchored to her own. In the end, as Tasha finally was able to stand up, she realized that the sheer confusion had resulted in her mind shutting down. [I]How long was I out?[/I] Tasha lowered her hands and looked around, it appeared that she was still on Rilenti 4, but there was no one else with her. At least not where she could see, the area was blanketed by an unnatural darkness, making it difficult to see more than a short distance. Tasha searched with her mind, but could sense no one at all. But at the same time, even though she couldn't tell what it was, there was something else still around her. [I]I'd better keep my shield up, there's no telling what will happen next. [/I] Not sure what to do, Tasha finally settled on attempting to look around a bit, the light was poor, but still good enough for her to walk around. [I]I hope Vanyel and the others are alright.[/I] She thought as she started off into the darkness. She hadn't gotten far when an idea occurred to her. Tasha extended a thought to the two from Earth that she had found. [I] Can either one of you sense anything?[/I] She asked, hoping that perhaps their state of not being in their body would give them a different view. But her hopes were dashed when they responded. [I]We can't.[/I] They said regretfully. [I] Before, once you included us in your psychic shields, we could sense the others in your group as well as the animals here on the planet, but now it is as if the area surrounding you is empty and yet not empty.[/I] [I]What do you mean, empty and yet not empty?[/I] Tasha asked as she started up a small incline in the terrain. [I] Well there is something surrounding us, but we can't tell if it's the energy or something else, or even if it's the thoughts of another person. [/I]The two minds seemed frustrated as well as afraid of being stuck on the planet and never returning to their own bodies. [I]It's as if something is keeping us from being able to see, much in the same way the darkness seems unnatural. We recommend using extreme caution.[/I] Tasha nodded, [I]Agreed. Let me know if you sense anything. [/I] Then she continued up the slight incline in search of an overlook. Tasha was halfway to the top of a small hill before the thought occurred to her that with the darkness, she wouldn't be able to see very far anyway.[/FONT][/COLOR]
  13. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I think we discussed this a while back in response to all the recommendation threads popping up. But in the end I'm sure we decided not to do it. It's too easy to keep finding things you'd like to have as a sticky thread. Plus favorites and recommended threads are often spammy and full of lists that have to be deleted out of the thread. So in the end adding it to the directory seems like the best solution. Then new threads that pop up on the subject can simply be merged into the main thread. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  14. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][quote name='Tetra of sound']Do you think you can predict things? [/QUOTE]:blulaugh: Uh no. Unless predicting that I can't is one. XP Seriously, I've guessed right on occasion for some things, but really that's what's known as a coincidence. Not some unexplained ability to predict things. I do get a kick out of reading horoscopes though, it's fun to laugh at how inaccurate those things are. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  15. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Some of my mom's relatives are like that. All doom and gloom and constantly complaining about how everything in their life is going so wrong. XP It's the main reason I tie myself to Beth's sofa when my mom goes to visit them. I hate going. All one woman, who by the way is my aunt, does is tell you why you couldn't possibly suffer more than her or hurt more than her, etc. But what she doesn't get is I don't care! It's hard to feel sorry for her when one day she'll be saying her back gave out and she can barely move and yet then the next day she'll say it's her knees. It's hard to believe anything she says since it's always changing and yet never interferes with her doing something she really wants to do, just with things she'd rather not do. Like cooking and cleaning and taking care of her kids. It's pretty sad actually and the other reason I hate going to visit is she spends the whole time trying to make me do all the work since I'm so blessed to have better health as she puts it. I'm not her little slave thank you very much. But yeah, people like that are annoying. Personally, the best way to deal with them is to have nothing to do with them if possible. Which is why I always insist on staying with Beth when my mom goes. Though lately she doesn't visit her very much. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  16. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Hot chocolate is okay I guess. But most of them are too rich for my tastes. It's like drinking candy. XP And adding milk? *blech* I've never liked milk. When I want something nice and hot I tend to drink hot spicy apple cider. Now that is good stuff! [/FONT][/COLOR]
  17. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]I used to enjoy your presence, but now, I'm afraid to come any closer. I had a rough day anyways, my non-existan hamster died. [spoiler]excuses don't work on the net.[/spoiler] I hugged her later if that helps. Plus, without caffine, I can't stay awake, and I get irratable. Oh, you guys can still call me Prem, or Rev.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Hehe, that's why I said under the spoiler tags that I was kidding. :catgirl: Besides, just as excuses on the Internet do not work, neither do smacks. ^_~ Oh and I forgot to mention, I do like Fresca, though I don't have it very often. Especially the Black Cherry Citrus flavor. Good stuff! [/FONT][/COLOR]
  18. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Ah yes... the pet thread. I've been meaning to post here, but I couldn't decide which picture to use! I have so many! Anyway, I have a Bichon Frise. We got her back in 2000 so she's seven years old. As everyone knows her name is Aaryanna and naturally I use that name as my user name here. Anyway, these pictures here are from my trip to Yellowstone National Park last year with Beth and her family. ^_^ [CENTER] [IMG]http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/9035/aaryannayellowstone01vk3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/6831/aaryannayellowstone02ba0.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] We also have a family cat, but I'll leave the posting about him to my Mom. Hehe. Also, it's kind of cute that you got a Husky James. Before we got Aaryanna, my Mom had a miniature Husky that was 16 years old. She finally had to be put down since she got sick and everything started shutting down. I hated that since I loved her too. >_< I'll have to find a picture since she was about 30lbs and completely white, the smaller breeds don't get as big as a regular Husky does. She's also the reason we got a Bichon this time. We researched it and decided to get a breed that doesn't shed! Though the draw back is needing regular grooming. Still Bichon's are very, very affectionate and social ,and I just love coming home to her excited jumping up and down dance that she does since she's so glad to see me again. :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]
  19. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]What's worse is that my mom will buy either diet or vault when she goes to the store. I've dumped it out on the lawn cause I didn't liek it. Then I yelled at my mother for it not being the real thing. [/COLOR][/QUOTE]If you really yelled at your mom over something as silly as soda... *smacks Revolver* You earned that for yelling instead of asking nicely for the regular kind. :p [spoiler]And yes I'm assuming you have not. lol Either way I'm kidding. [/spoiler] Anyway, I don't drink soda very often, it's just not my thing. I prefer ice water and lemonade. And by lemonade I mean the kind you make yourself from packets that is sugar free. I love pink lemonade. Occasionally I'll add some sprite to it but not very often. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  20. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Well it sounds like everyone else is in DB, Revolver, indifference, GuyYouMetOnline and myself. XP I'm just stuck since I was the last one to post so I can't do anything else. Heh. Still since it took me a little time to get use to school I can wait. *waits for two seconds and then pulls out her whip* Start Posting! Hehe, I kid. :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]
  21. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]So is it down to just me, indifference and GuyYouMetOnline? Since it seems like no one else is posting at all. XP Or has this rpg finally died? Just wondering about that. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  22. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Not enough. I need more since I love blankets. :catgirl: That and every time I get a new one or it comes nice and warm from the dryer, my dog instantly claims it and turns it into a sort of bed for her to lie on. She's terrible about doing that. lol Anyway, there are lots of homemade blankets at my house since my mom has made a lot. From simple tie quits to hand quilted ones. We also have a lot of crocheted ones too. Though my favorite is one with a fuzzy side or comforters that are puffy. We have an electric one but I rarely use it. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  23. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]School started for me on the 20th of last month so my anime watching has gone way down. I'm still catching an episode or two of [B]Lovely Complex[/B] a romantic comedy and [B]Lucky Star [/B]a slice of life about a bunch of girls attending school. I'd love to watch more but now it's just a from time to time deal, but not much else. I'm still getting use to studying again. Plus, I have a whole list of books to read that other members recommended in the thread I posted. :catgirl: Once I have more time or rather I'm interested in watching lots of anime, I'll probably watch [B]Detective Conan[/B] since my Mom's going to be ordering the newest releases this week. So that's something to look forward too. [/FONT][/COLOR]
  24. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I only have one question, and that's what kind of time frame are we looking at? The second challenge is the one I'm thinking will take a little longer. ^_~ And with school and homework, I will be able to get started on what I have in mind, but I would imagine I won't have that done until this weekend, say Saturday or Sunday. Would that be soon enough?[/FONT][/COLOR]
  25. [COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]So when does the voting end?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Well as it says right on the poll: [B]This poll will close on 09-03-2007 at 09:18 PM[/B] It ends tonight, so if you've yet to get your vote in make sure to do so! ^_~ [/FONT][/COLOR]
