Queen Asuka

[color=hotpink][size=1]I like it. It looks like you know your stuff when it comes to charcoal. The head part looks the best, while the neck and beyond looks just a tad bit messy. The teeth are very interesting and the picture has an overall creepy feel to it. Well done.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I don't like it. I really wish people would be more original when they draw pictures. All you did was look at that picture somewhere and then sketch it out. It's not original, it's just a copy. You might as well just have traced it. Next time and in the future, I would suggest that you look at the picture for inspiration, but try to come up with your own poses and create new ideas instead of just copying what has already been done. That's what makes good fanart.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]That article that you quoted was so awfully written it gave me a headache to read it. I guess that I started to like Radiohead when I saw the video for "Paranoid Android." Me and my sisters were obsessed with it at the time and recorded it on video so we could watch it over again and again. I always remember the part where the woman jumps out of the tree and just opens up her robe. That's one of those classic moments where your mother walks in and says, "What the heck are you watching?!" Of course, my mother liked the song and video as well. I don't own any Radiohead albums (shame on me), but I do like a lot of their songs. But the original that I heard will always be the one I favour (strange how life works that way), and maybe one day I'll get some more of their music. But yes, Radiohead, thumbs up.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Oh my gosh, this is the most stupid thing I have ever heard! I can't believe you actually think that with 7500 dollars you're going to be able to support yourself in Japan. You think you're going to learn Japanese pretty quick, enough to where you can get a job, and support yourself? Do you know how much the cost of living is over there? I hate to burst all of your bubbles, but Japan is not paradise on Earth. It's not like in the anime movies where everything just goes your way and you can just move to the city and make a life for yourself. Its especially not enough if you don't have a high school diploma or a college degree. I can't wait until you people hit at LEAST 16 and you realize how dumb you sounded when you said you wanted to move to Japan. It's one thing to want to visit, its another thing to want to live there, just because of your profound interest in anime. You think by going to Japan you can just lounge around all day and watch anime and read manga and not have a care in the world? Living all by yourself in a foreign country where the culture is completely different and they speak a very complicated language? Oh my gosh, I just can't believe how stupid this all is. Your parents are RIGHT to keep you away from anime! Look how it's making you think? It's just delusions of grandeur![/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I went to Media Play last week to look for the last one and they didn't even have it. Talk about being super dissappointed. Oh well, hopefully I can find it really soon. It's very fun that Isabella is on the front cover. I think that pretty much covers the entire Parakiss gang, right? I really loved Mikako. She's was just too damn cute for such an older woman. ^_^[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I feel like I'm talking to myself...mkay. SOMEONE will eventually respond, right? Well, this past week's episode has got to be one of my favorites. I was really glad to see that Marissa and Ryan seem to be showing interest in one another again. It seems as though they will finally be getting back together, and I'm very happy. I'm also very happy to Theresa is out of the way (for now...however long her marriage with Eddie lasts...). IT was pretty sad about the Nanna, but oh well. You do what you can. As for the next episode (in two weeks), I cannot believe that Caleb is proposing to Julie Cooper. I can't wait to see what she's going to say. Any other speculations?[/color][/size]

[QUOTE=xmystic_silverx][COLOR=Magenta]Okay! Here we go.... go couples? Umm lemme think ... hmmm [/COLOR] [COLOR=Magenta]Ah... jeez, I haven't really thought about this before.... maybe... oh ya know what?! I have no clue!!! Im not good at this kind thing.. so Im just gonna... uh leave *walks away*[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=hotpink][size=1]If you don't know what you're going to say, don't bother to post. The post you made is considered spam because it's off-topic and pointless. Please try to refrain from these things from now on because like this one, they will be deleted. Thank you. *QA*[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Welcome to the OtakuBoards, gohans daddy! I would like to ask you very kindly to PLEASE go and read the rules that have been established about post quality. While it seems that your grammar and punctuation are acceptable, the length of your post leaves lots to be desired. If you look at the post that Omar Harris made, a very fine example of a good post, you will see exactly what you need to be striving for as a member here. Yes, our standards are high, but the effort is completely worth it. And, this thread will be closed, as it cannot possible generate decent discussion further than what has already been established.[/color][/size]

[quote name='shikonjewel777']I wish i was you (Darius_Stomu)! I wanna move out and go some where like Japan but i've gotta spend my teen years in a really deep hell-hole. The only refuge i have is at my dad's house. And i'm only allowed to go there on weekends and in the summer. It royally sux!! :flaming: And the money your getting...i envy you. *sigh* i can't wait till im 18... By the way, where are you gonna move to?[/quote] [color=hotpink][size=1]I'm sure it would be so amazing for you to move to Japan, seeing as how their entire culture revolves around just anime and is refuge to an entire mob army of poor American teenagers whose parents wont let them stay up late and watch Adult Swim. I can't wait until you are 18, either. Hopefully you'll realize how how immature you sound.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]While I'm glad to see that you put a good bit of thought into the making of this topic, I say that it must be closed as it will never generate any decent discussion. You can raise a million possibilities, but the randomness will just go on and on endlessly. Besides, threads like this, these "What if" threads aren't really allowed anyway. Good idea, though. Thread Closed.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Okay, I hate to double post, but I wanted to bring this thread back up instead of starting a new one. This past week's episode was kind of scary. I was really happy to see Ryan and Marissa being friendly with one another, even if the only reason that Ryan made her to go to LA was so that Luke could tell Julie Cooper that it was over. And the whole episode seemed to be going SO great, too, until Luke had to come in and open his big mouth right there at the end. What a bunch of crap. And what was up with Paris Hilton's appearance? The only thing I liked was her pink dress.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I just finished reading [i]Brave New World[/i] this past week and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was a little strange, but I was very impressed with the way that Huxley wrote in what seemed far beyond his time or era. [/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I was wondering when the fifth was to come out. I'm a very big fan and I'm very excited to see what's going to happen. So you're saying that the fifth volume is the entire ending of the series? That kind of sucks, especially since we had to wait so long for it to be released...[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Well, I'm going to go ahead and close this topic, as it really isn't generating any sort of decent discussion. Besides, the anime lounge isn't the place to ask about costumes unless you're replying in a cosplay thread. Also, try to make your posts longer than one sentence next time. It would be a great help to the overall quality of this forum. Thanks so much and good luck on finding your costume. A usefull site, though expensive, is limebarb.com. They make the costume for you. Anywho, enjoy! Thread Closed.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE=r2vq]What do you mean by "mainstream?" -ArV[/QUOTE] [color=hotpink][size=1]I'm sorry, but this post is considered spam and will be deleted. Please try to make your posts more longer. One sentence posts are not acceptable. Thank you. *QA*[/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Blackroselover]I like anime because, 1st of all, the girls look better in Japanese than American toons. 2nd, more action. 3rd, better music. Later, Unknown :flaming:[/QUOTE] [color=hotpink][size=1]Hello, blackroselover and welcome to the OtakuBoards! First things first, your post quality leaves plenty to be desired. I hope you have read those very important rules before you started to post. If you haven't, I advise that you do, but here are some pointers. First of all, try to elaborate more on your posts. Describe WHY you believes these things and give pretty good reasons. Second of all, use words instead of numbers, like first instead of 1st and things like that. Also, punctuation and grammar are your best friends on this board, along with spelling. Please keep things things in mind as you post from now on or your posts will be considered spam and deleted. Thank you! *QA*[/color][/size]

[quote name='Chii Ayumi']My favorites are : Chrno Crusade, Fruits Basket, Tales of Eternia, Ruroumi Kenshin[/quote] [color=hotpink][size=1]I'm sorry, but this post is spam and will be deleted. Not only is it off-topic, but it is very short and nondescriptive. Please read our rules about post quality as soon as possible. Thank you! *QA*[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Drug busts were no big deal in my school because I think that Georgia has to be the marijuana capital of the world. Finding people who DON'T use it is actually pretty rare. They would have the drugs dogs come around and sniff cars and then if he barked at your car, you would be called the office to bring your keys and they would search the inside. So many people I know got sent to Alternative School that way. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you do drugs. As for anything super serious, not really. But this school year (thankfully I graduated), they've had to keep students in the classroom at all times except when changing classes because of all the fights that have been going on. It's insane...[/color][/size]

[quote name='NeoNabishen']:laugh: Something basted on D&D. Wizards, Warriors, ext.[/quote] [color=hotpink][size=1]Welcome to the OtakuBoards! First of all, I just wanted to let you know to please read the rules on post quality, as this post is considered spam and will be deleted. Please try to put more thoughts and efforts into your posts next time. Just take a look at the other posts in this thread and others. Thank you. *QA*[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I'm closing this thread for now unless you actually do PM Dagger with what the intentions of it are. So far it is considered spam, as you merely posted a poem. If you want poetry critique, you are in the wrong forum. If you want to discuss .hack, you need to make to that more clear when you actually start a topic. Thread Closed.[/color][/size] [COLOR=Navy]I unlocked the thread after receiving Twilight's PM. Now let's see if he actually does something about it... ~Dagger~[/COLOR]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Chastity smiled politely at the older woman, looking around for signs of any other person. Suddenly, and very oddly, the two of them were alone. "Can I help you?" Chastity asked, not sure of what to say. "Yes, you can. I'm here to discuss something of importance with you." Chastity's mind began to race as she thought of all the different possibilities and meanings of that last sentence: Was she being fired? Was someone offering her a new job? Was she getting kicked out of her apartment? Did something happen to her kitten? She took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Honey, I promise it's not any of those things that we need to speak about," the old woman answered, as though she was reading Chastity's mind. Immediately, Chastity began to panic. Was it...good it be...no, no one knew about THAT...but maybe this woman did... "Yes, it's about your powers," the old woman said, smiling. Chastity, very much alarmed, looked around to make sure no one else was around. The old woman let out a laugh. "There's no one around, dear. What do you take me for, a fool?" The woman laughed a bit more, reveling in Chastity's panic. "What do you know about my powers," Chastity whispered through her teeth. "I know that you have the powers to control the earth, that you have an unlikely green thumb, that any plant life you are near is the most magnificent of any ever seen. I know about your [i]dance.[/i]" Chastity just looked at her. The old woman continued. "Yes, I'm here with something to tell you, a message of sorts. I know this is going to be confusing, but I can only remain here for a short while longer. There are eleven others like you, each with their respective powers that they inherited from the past. I was one of the original." At this Chastity broke in. "Original what?" "One of the original Zodiac Warriors. I was the same as you, a lovely young Taurus with amazing skills in earthly powers. And now the need for those powers has arisen and it is up to you to find these other warriors." "Well, couldn't they be anywhere in the world?" Chastity was sweating now, despite her lack of clothing. "Luckily for you, there is one nearby. His name is Daniel, but he goes by the name of Danny. He attends college close to Harlem. You will find him, I promise." Chastity just stared. "Oh, here's your new outfit," the old woman said, smiling, handing her a new dress to put on. Suddenly Chastity looked around and the backstage area was it's regular hustle and bustle. "Chastity, you've got five minutes, come here so we can do your hair!" someone yelled to her. She turned to look and when she turned back to speak to the old woman, she was gone. Chastity looked around startled. She made her way over to the chair where her stylist began working his wonders. "Danny...I have to find Danny," she said to herself.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]You raise a good question because I personally don't think I've seen a lot of anime shorts, other than the Animatrix, and if I have, I don't remember them. Maybe someone will post something in here that may jog my memory. Out of the ones that WERE in the Animatrix, I'd have to say that I enjoyed the one with the "Haunted House" the most. It was interesting enough to keep you watching and the children's experiences were fun. I also enjoyed "Program" and "A Detective's Story."[/color][/size]

[quote name='Lady Icemoon']it would be cool to live in the world were Tenchi lives. That place is soooooooooo cute =^-^= :love: :love: :love: :love:[/quote] [color=hotpink][size=1]Posts like this are considered spam and are not allowed here at the OtakuBoards. For one thing, your post is very short, even though your grammar and spelling is nice. Second of all, four smileys in a row is just a bit over doing it. From now on, please adhere to the rules set by James and enjoy your stay! *QA*[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Wow, okay, I think this is now my favorite chapter. ^_^ As soon as you mentioned "Modsuits" I was just WAITING for the Pink ModRanger to make an appearance. And sure enough, there she was, Plushiewand and all. I had to stifle quite a few laughs because I'm at school and it's pretty much dead silent. But wow, it was SO funny. [b]"I OWNZZ @ COUNTER-STIKE!" a l33t trooper yelled, waving his arms around like a windmill on caffeine.[/b] Heh, I liked that part. ^_^ I really like Power Rangers. I thought it was awesome that I had Syk and Ken to back me up. *laughs heartily* Ah, I can't wait until the next chapter. Oh, and I thought it was BRILLIANT how you brought in the new mods and showed the "destruction" of the old ones. Absolutely freaking brilliant.[/color][/size]

[color=hotpink][size=1]Wow, I hadn't even read parts 4 and 5 yet, but I must say, they were great. [b]Nativity:[/b] I absolutely loved how you used all of my wonderful plushie creations to act the whole thing out, and I especially loved "Adam's Angels." As soon as you said that three angels appeared, I just KNEW that had to be it. I don't know if this one is my favorite so far, but it's definiately up there. ^_^ [b]Smith 1:[/b] I did realize the lines were from the Matrix movie, and I actually enjoyed reading all the 1337 crap (I guess it's because I don't usually have to?). I can't wait to see what happens next with this whole issue. And now that we are at V7, what is to become of the world we are living it? Ah, it's so very interesting. Keep it up, please. ^_^[/color][/size]
