[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B]Yes, I'm very happy that Gav got his article in this week, since I thought it was very good. :animesmil Sorry for the jokes, guys, I can't help myself...[/B][/COLOR]

"Are you sure that's Paul and not one of those Kazuya-fan-girls disguised as him?" This one totally sucked.. :animesmil

[B]Dark trotted along beside Kelac. His little black paws hit the concrete softly. Kelac stopped for a few minutes to observe his mail, and found a message forwarded by Kya from Sakura. He frowned as he read it and looked down at Dark. " Rikku's finally looking for ya, so we can put you somewhere safe, other than besides me, if you could call me safe. But..." He paused, and looked into Dark's dark-green eyes. "Nomura...is in a coma." Dark understood quite well. He meowed a sorrowful meow and walked slowly beside Kelac, with his eyes looking down the whole time. Kelac sighed, and lifted Dark from the ground. He held him close to him, and finally he pressed a small mail link, and sent Dark to Rikku's profile. He looked down to the ground, and he logged out. He would go see the girls, and Nomura's comatose body.[/B]

Thanks Rev. Oh yeah, it's more than one poem guys. 3 different poems. Anybody mind rating, please? :animesmil

Heh. So, today?s Easter Day, so if ya might see the Easter bunny. Or you might just be looking at the cover of a dirty magazine with a bunny on the front. Who knows? So, let?s get to the good stuff.[/i] [CENTER][COLOR=DarkRed][B]Anime and Manga[/B][/CENTER] Ah, Eureka 7 played last night (Saturday) at 12 eastern, and I must say, it was pretty good. Better than I thought it would be, though it didn?t seem to belong in [adult swim]. It was as harmless as Naruto?s dub. Speaking of Naruto?s dub, hope ya watched the four episodes they showed. We got to hear Naruto say his first curse word! Yay! More blood was shown, so maybe Cartoon Network and 4kids are loosening up a li?l bit. Just a li?l worried. Orichimaru was a....female. Don?t remember that in the American manga. Speaking of Naruto, I?d like you guys to check this [url=http://www.dragid.com/?page=ratepost&jid=39085&PHPSESSID=2d6977339851e72cc1]web-page[/url]out, it?s pretty good. Anyway, one popular thing now...is Cellular phone manga, and so-far it?s getting some good business. Japan is going nuts, paying monthly fees for manga, and why not? Just like a book, right? Nope, you can?t stick a manga book in your pocket without somebody really wondering what the heck you?re doing. It?s gotten rather high-tech, too. When something like explosions, or gunfights, or any other source of bams, booms and pows, will have actual sounds and even vibrations. So, a new freedom? A new revolution? Freedom plus revolution equals money. I?d spend a bunch on this stuff too. But, just remember, regular manga books are still good too. Heh, whatever gets your wallet a moving away from the pocket.

You should however check out the new thread in the Play It ?forum about [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=53036]Final Fantasy II for Nintendo DS[/url], started by yours truly. It?s far more than a port of the original title that never got released outside Japan; it?s a completely remade version with new graphics and upgrades to the story and game system. You can see this yourself from a [url=http://img133.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc177&image=41146_FF3_Jump0413.jpg]scan[/url] posted in the thread. Speaking of the Final Fantasy-series, there?s a quite active thread in the Play It called [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=49238]Final Fantasy Fan Thread[/url] dedicated to ? unsurprisingly ? fans of the series.

The game is called [url=http://www.dreamfall.com]Dreamfall: The Longest Journey[/url], featuring an enchanting story that intertwines the destinies of three people from three different worlds. The game itself is a unique mixture of the adventuring, roleplaying and fighting genres. The game ships on [b]April the 20th[/b] ? you don?t want to miss this!

It will finally be released in October, and people are getting ready, as Autumn nears in a few months. It seems like an eternity. Japan is lucky, they got it on March 16th...Heh. This one-player turn-based RPG is so far, pretty good from what we can tell by the American demo.

So, I?ll do it myself. X-men 3: The last stand! 5/26/06! Yes! That?s right! We waited forever for the third installment of this movie series, and it?s been announced finally. The trailers aren?t playing yet, I don?t think, but if they are, they?ve passed by my eyes. Heh. [url=http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/silenthill/]Silent Hill![/url] Konami?s hit game finally got into a [i]finished[/i] movie! Yes!!! 4/21/06! Alot of movies are hitting the year, and most are ones we?ve been anxiously waiting for. Scary Movie 4 was a big hit, and I must say, it?s worth your money to go see it. The funniest one yet, of the SM franchise. [/COLOR] [CENTER][COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Art[/B][/CENTER] [FONT=Tahoma]Not a lot of business here in the Art Request this week. Just some casual visitors, requesting some banners and being answered by the same people as always (Delta, Keyblade Wielder and Illusion). Come on, we need some new talent in the Art by Request, so if you think you are a decent artist, drop by and take your best shot at someone's request! You never know if they'll actually use it. As always, the [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=51313]Rate the Sig Above You[/url] thread is very popular. However, it seems it may be coming to a close as members aren't trying very hard to critique and comment on others work. Please, listen to Retribution. The poor guy has to put up with posts such as "omgz thats kewl 9/10." If you, the OBers, continue to do this, then unfortunately our new Art Studio Moderator will be forced to close the thread. Aswell as the normal art threads, a few members have posted new work since the last newspaper.

Want to know what's Inn ?[/B]|[/CENTER] Despite recieving no tributes in return for my kind words, I've decided to be rather magnanimous and give some anyway. Recent additions to the Inn this week included the opening of Crucifix's [b][url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=53057]The Organization[/url][/b] RPG, the Kingdom Hearts based RPG has already attracted the attention of several of the Inn's bright stars, the plot to a non-KH player like this reporter seems tight and with thirteen character places available looks to become one of the big hitters of the coming hits. Keep and eye on this one boy and girls, I get the feeling it'll turn out to be something special. Continuing on our scope of the Inn, I've turned the lens on Oldie Jokopoko's [B][url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52863]Stargate: Excalibur[/url][/B] RPG, not too long ago Bill was thrashing out ideas in the Underground for this little gem and now it's made it's debut in the Inn. Granted one may think me a little biased considering I've got one of the main roles, but when it comes to sci-fi and RPGs I pull no punches. Anyone who's ever enjoyed Stargates SG1 and Atlantis on TV should scooch over to the Inn now and see if this can't pique their interest. Sadly there are far too many RPGs in the Inn at the moment and not nearly enough time for me to give them all proper space in the article, but those other RPGs that deserve to have my hat tipped to them include Ezekiel's Inn conversion of [b][url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52548]Battle Royale[/url][/b] which for those of us who enjoyed, a relative term really, the movies should give a look to. Moving onto the hive of activity that is the Adventure Square has seen White's smash hit [B][URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52554]Otakuboards Apprentice: Plumber Extraordinaire![/URL][/B] has seen Team Alpha claim victory over their heated rivals in this no-holds-bars contest.

In just seven days Lilt's [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52982][b]Underground[/b][/url] RPG has managed to chalk up an impressive eighty-four replies and this simply at the time this reporter is writing the article, but the time the next edition of Otaku News is out it could very well reach one-hundred.

While I've not been fortunate enough to be able to follow it's since it's incarnation, we all know that this is the big Kahuna in the Square for the foreseeable future.

We don?t need any more reporters but for the OB lounge, otherwise please don?t ask any more. I?ll PM you if we?re ready for another reporter and you?d like the job. But for now... LOL, this time I was playing around with the URL stuff,so you can click on some of the user?s names to go to their profile and other stuff like that ,Anyway, good day fellow Otakans, and good bye. -Nomura, Editor-in-Chief[/I]

[B]"Whoa, that's one loooong sword. Even bigger than mine..."[/B]

[B]Heh heh, LOL. That such a funny li'l pic. I love Chibi pics.(Man, I love a lot of things) Anyway, it would be cool if you would do one like this, but with all the ninja. Gaara would look...so...cute as a chibi. My favorite on this one...is Akamaru and Kiba. You drew them awesome. :animesmil I wonder if I'm the only one that'll post besides you... :animeswea [/B]

[B]Simple plan-"Jump!" "Jump! Don't wanna wait for tomorrow!" New word...Jigga. :animesmil [/B]

[B] Could you remove the ] from the first one so I can see it, please? :animesmil The InuYasha one is even better than before. Yet, like the one before, Inu's nose..is gone! Where is it, LOL? Heh, But I do love the pose he has. That sitting pose... 8.9 I love the attitude that Naruto is giving off. The get behind me attitude that Sasuke has, but in this one, Naruto is portraying it. So awesome. 9.1 This Roll pic isn't as good. I don't really remember her looking like that! LOL, but yes, the monkey is so cool... :animesmil 7.7 You drew this one so good, that I'm giving it a 9.8, because of the shading, and how much it looks like Deidara. I love the laughing hand feature over her shoulder , and her just barely looking behind her. This one is pretty cool, but it doesn't give off the same attitude that the Utachi does in the anime/manga. The mysterious...over his shoulder look like Deidara has. The cloak sorta threw me off, for a second, but I'm really liking the hand coming out of it. And, the design on the cloak is cool too. 9.0 How come all of your pics are done in the same type of pencil on the same kindof paper? The paper must look sorta funny, cause of how old it is. But, I think inking would make the pics look alot better, and colouring too. :animesmil [/B]

[B]Well, my lyrics are usually aimed at a Rock type, but this time, I'm rhyming with a little bit of Rap-type lyrics, if that's okay with you. :animesmil You havn't heard the first part to Battlefield, I'll have to post it... it'd long though, and it talks about different musicians and things that have happened in the past few years. Battlefield part 2 As I said before These words are nothing more If the battle's done Yet I'm not quitting I won't stop until this war is won Get lost in my drumsticks, and my guitar picks Your rhyme on your own time and we try to ignore the people are watching us raise our fists and one of us screams "We won't take no more of this!" Fight now, listen to your inspiration don't listen, to this disfiguring nation lose sight, but still fight we won't lose tonight ten-billion people watching this war go on crackheads, underages, they think that nothing's wrong if that's true, why would we make this song? stereotypes blaring cross the sky 9 shots for this rapper, and he's bragging bout his life? poor boy, killed the woman with a knife, got his drugs and left blaming the music? again and again? For some reason, I think it's sorta stupid I just don't understand. white rapper talking trash, so what if he's white? just because you're racist doesn't make it all right. something stupid with these pop stars getting things improved. bigger is better? maybe just for you Mr. Tree got reelected, no wait, he's just a bush while's he on stage I wanna give him a li'l push and take the mike away and scream to the day "Fight for our own reasons! Not for him! I don't wanna lose! Not again!" The battle of the stereotypes has been raging on It's still not done I won't quit, and you can't quit I'm not about to quit Until the war is won. Mexicans, Asians, Whites and Blacks. French men, Italian dudes Russians and the next. Doesn't matter your race. We're all the same, but different different in our own ways. Everyone. Everyone. Scream into the sky "Don't be sad. Do not cry. Somebody'll make it alright. Call you names? That's alright, they just got really bad taste. All you have to do is spit back in their face." Now I'm through Yes, I'm done Still won't stop Until the war is won.[/B]

[B]Yes, well, I have yet to get any articles, except White's. :animesmil So, we might be a little late this week, unless I write the other's in time. :animeswea [/B]

[B]LagWagon- "Tragic Vision" "Only if he knew the consequence of greed A concious state of mind" new word- war[/B]

[B]"Because I can't make it on my own 'Cause my [U]heart[/U] is in Ohio" Song: Ohio is for lovers Band name: Hawthorne Heights new word: cyanide Heh, this one's hard....I'll give a hint. Look up some MCR music.... :animeswea [/B]

[B]Most of these words so far...have been....well, not very happy. :animesmil Oh well. "Never forget the [U]blood[/U], sweat and tears" Band name: Linkin Park Song name: Nobody's Listening the new....theme ( find me a whole song about this) Anyway, the new theme is a drinking song. :animesmil Hehee...[/B]

[B]This is a game where someone names a word, or theme and you find a song with that word or theme in it. Give the verse(or the whole song if you feel like it) that the theme/word is in, and tell the name of the song and the Artist that performs the song. Simple enough, right? I'll start us off easy. The word is "[U]what[/U]" Answer it, then name a word/theme. Easy peasey, lemon squeezy! :animesmil :animeswea [/B]

[I][B][COLOR=Cyan]LOL, that's actually pretty cool. The artwork is smooth...and it makes me wanna smile! :animesmil I love the little outfits they have on. And..the hat? I think the picture would be even better if you had a smiling sun in the background. Or...maybe a macdonald's sign! :animeswea [/COLOR] [/B] [/I]

[B]Wow...this one good too....you would've got my vote either way, heh. :animesmil I like the tape sorta shadow thingies on the angles. And the dude's siluohette... :animesmil No offense, but I don't think you're very good at fonting. For some strange reason, I don't like any of 'em. Heh, I have a certain style for a certain style of pic. LOL, even so, you're still good enough to do. ( Can't believe actually wrote that sick joke.) :animeswea Anywho, post more, they're not getting old yet.[/B]

[B]Yep, LOL. So, they look for me. They might not find me right away, but my mystery will soon..be revealed. Heh, I'll go to sleep a lot more care-free tonight, knowing that Mods are hunting for me. :animesmil [/B]

[I][COLOR=Navy][B]....Me, Aura and Rikku go shopping for clothes for the Sakura festival. We get em, log off, go to the festival. Rikku, is picked to be the girl that all the male-users will race for in The Race for Love. The winner, has to kiss the girl. Kya, you're obviously the announcer of this race. So we kiss, we blush alot.... Festival is over soon after. We're walking along, and we notice a NPC in the sky of the town, so we fight him. _Ken_ says it's him, and fights us back. He has a hacker's power to delete other players, and give them comatose. Nomura gets small comatose illness, comes back to school, and Rikku is waiting for him on the school grounds. So, he skips school, and goes to have fun with her. While on their date, they make their relationship, an actual relationship in reality. Then, later that night, Nom hacks back into his deleted account. They log in, Rikku on her laptop, and Nom on his home-computer. They log in at an abandoned battlefield full of past skeletons. That NPC comes back, and wounds Nomura's side with his blade/ staff , this time he gets a long comatose, yet he never logs out of the game. He's lost in the game. aura is in Hareld's room (the bedroom he created just for himslef. He's the creator of THE WORLD) She says she was the Aura from the past .hack series. ( the girl NPC) They don't know Nomura is still logged in, except for Dark(nom's cat) and Kelac ( a mysterious player that noone really knows, except the strange NPC that put Nom into a coma. That's about all, so far. Need more? :animesmil [/B] [/COLOR] [/I]

[B]OOOOoooooooo...this should be good. :animesmil Retri- I liked your picture for the Blood Red colour, that gives me a criminal feeling. Just the thought of blood....(ew) Anyway, I loved the shading on the picture. There's a unique type of shadows forming around his face and hair, and it sorta gives me a 3-D feeling, even if I know that it's not a 3-D picture. The phrase got me too...Viva El Criminal. Heh. I didn't like it because it was a little plain. The background isn't as good as the person in the picture. The background should always try to boost up the main-image in the picture, yet in this one, it's just a coloured background, nothing more. Ah, but that is just my opinion. I was also a li'l worried. Some people may not be educated with good ol' Che Guevara. :animesmil White- I like your picture because...Well, it's very lively. There is a-lot going on in it, within a certain colour code, so it's not a big rainbow, heh. I love the flashing V, and the background. I like how his hands seem to come out of nowhere because his cloak is sooo dark. Gives me that creepy feeling. :animeswea I don't like... I don't like the font for the words. They could've been better. If I were you...I would've done them in a sorta gothic feel....And his face looks as if it's from a cartoon, because of the lighting. ---------------------------- Anyway, [U]my vote is for White[/U], even though Retri did a wonderful job too. :animesmil [/B]

[COLOR=Indigo][B]Yesh, first post! Oh yeah...just wondering...why does your name say Invitation Cat? ...Nevermind... Anyway, on to your artwork. It's pretty good. :animesmil The first on with the Neko-hito wasn't changed too much. The phrase works really good with the banner. The avi is really good, and I love the faded out colour it has. And "Curiosity" also works good with this one. :animesmil The Spike picture is a really good one (catches his mood :animesmil ) Heh. The original was way too dark, and I'm glad you changed that a little about the Spike I'm looking at now. For some reason, I hate the white border around Spike (but's that's just me) And the phrase is of course, straight from the anime, so ya gotta like it. Heh, the avi is simple, but eh, it's still pretty darn great. -Nom[/B][/COLOR]

1....89? Gosh, you do a lot of drawing! Can't wait to see some more, and...you better start feeling better Rurouni Tatsu! We Rock Lee fans have to stand strong! Or else! Neji, Naruto and Gaara'll take the lead! Even if Neji could kick Lee's butt one handed (stupid hyuga style...gentle touch technique....) LOL, anywho, I like your work, so don't stop now. :animesmil

Sure... Where should I start? :animesmil Tell me when you first got lost, please

[B]WE, huh? Are you one that does magic? Or do you just....be religous, or whatever, without trying it out? You know what....I think I've heard of Wiccan people trying out alchemy too... Occult is a confusing thing (prolly just to me though) I think it's one of the few religions that aren't in my Social Studies/ History books heh. When did it start? Or believed to be started? Salem massacre? Ahh..but yet again, I will write a novel. Better just read the website. :animesmil :animeswea [/B]
