[color=red][font=times new roman]wow...Freeeeaky cool :D I think my brain warped abit trying to find pick out all the things I thought I could make out... :p Thats very nice...I like the second one best...The first one is abit too bright for me :cool: [/font][/color]

[color=red][font=times new roman]lol why does it feel like me and agatio are acting like commentators on this thread... :p Well who am I to stop it...syk those are both beautiful banners... While I love vash I perfer the bottom one most...I cant put my finger on it but something on the vash one is off...Maybe like agation mentioned its the color...Im not sure...Strange :therock: I really like what you did with the second one...Very nice high quality pics...Nice clean white background...And how you cut the bottom right corner...Very nice :D[/font][/color]

[color=red][font=times new roman]Very nice nomad...I like the colors they suit the character very well...Only problem I have with it is the effect in the background inbetween the 2 pics...Kinda distracts the eyes and messes with the "flow" of the banner... Well this little contest looks like its off to a very nice start...This could be interesting... :therock: [/font][/color]

[color=red][font=times new roman]very nice DD...as always... :p The blueish tint and the background suit the liquid setting really well...very sharp :D[/font][/color]

[color=red][font=times new roman]I like it des...Clean simple and nice looking...only 2 gripes are its abit small and the background could be spiced up...Other wise I like that pic of samus and the logo :D [/color][/font]

[color=red][font=times new roman]heh well thats one lofty goal there Mage...considering we have some very talented graphics ppl around here... But hey your welcome to give it a try :D Ill agree with DD you dont need those 2 extra yugis...But I do like the green background...Its an ok banner...Not the greatest but far from the worst :demon: [/color][/font]

[color=red][font=times new roman]Well I LOVE the combination of the black and red...I only have a few qualms about it...The gun is kinda pixelated/blurred and the red area should be behind alucard not infront of him...Kinda makes it hard to see him... But otherwise its a sharp looking banner...And alucard was the perfect person to pick for the red/black look :D Oh and those little do-dads in the left corner look kinda out of place ;)[/font][/color]

[color=red][font=times new roman]I swearz I REALLY hope they dont take trigun off this soon...I love this series and Its great being able to catch it on TV... And there putting a power rangers like anime on in its place...What the...How lame is that? And why would they put Zeta on toonami...Isnt zeta abit beyond that kiddy block of time...Rather have it on adult swim... :flaming: Sighz well Cn is starting to annoy me more every day...But its the only game in town...For NOW... :devil: [/color][/font]

[color=red][font=times new roman]Ah well one of the big questions almost everyone asks themselves...And few have a concrete answer to...Me being one of them :D With all the wonders out there in the universe...The shear size of it all (Black holes the size of are milkyway galaxy and bigger eating up other galaxies anyone?) I couldnt imagine NONE of them would have life... Now intelligent life is another thing all together...If we are indeed the only intelligent species in the universe that begs the question...WHat are we here for as a species...Are we destined for something great or just to destroy...Shrugz I guess time will tell...Ill be long dead but time will tell :p [/font][/color]

[color=red][font=times new roman]Looks pretty sweet...Ofcourse im a big fan of the Twins...Theyre a pair of badass looking programs :D Its a tad small but very sharp looking...:cool: [/font][/color]

[color=silver][font=times new roman][b]Well I havent gotten to see the anime but I love the manga in shonen jump...It has to be one of my fav series... The character designs are excellent as is the story...And the action is handled very well :D [/b][/font][/color]

[color=silver][font=times new roman][b]YEAH for simplicity...heh...But really I like it...I think the simple pill works better then the banner personally... Esp because of the whole clever little matrix connection...The single red pill ill give a 9/10... :D [/b][/font][/color]

[color=silver][font=times new roman][b]Well this could be interesting I suppose...And I like how all of you put alot of thought into your choices so I suppose I will strive to do the same :D Now lets see... [size=3]Best Anime:[/size] Neon Genesis Evangelion...This was one of the first animes I saw and ive loved it ever since I bought the whole series on DVD...It has amazing levels of depth that even to this day ive yet to fully comprehend...Its pure brain food. [size=3]Best Comedy Anime:[/size] Excel Saga...Oh this series has so many gags and jokes jammed into it its just too funny for words...And dont get me started on there poor "alternative food source" haha... [size=3]Best Romance Anime:[/size] Chobits...Oh I just love this one to death...The budding romance between hideki and chi is the sweetest most genuine thing ive seen in a long time...Pure heart candy. [size=3]Best Action/Adventure Anime:[/size] Yu-Yu Hakusho...DBZ has got nothing on this action series...It can pack one heck of an emotional punch and has great characters with some truly wicked attacks. [size=3]Best Mecha Anime:[/size] Gundam...In particular any of the UC timelines for their excellent portrayl of the horrors of war...And Gundam Wing:Endless Waltz for the very shallow reason that I LOVE the mecha designs of this OVA/Movie. [size=3]Best Fantasy Anime:[/size] Inuyasha...This series has everything you would want in an anime...Lots of medevil fantasy and monsters...And awkward romance...And great characters with some fine action scenes. [size=3]Best Horror Anime:[/size] Hellsing...One reason...Alucard...He has to be the best and coolest Vampire ive ever seen...This series has blood by the bucket full and very impressive animation. [size=3]Best Male Character:[/size] Shinji...I love him because hes so human...He isnt a superhuman...He doesnt stand for truth and justice and is always the first to volunteer to fight evil...Hes just a poor ordinary kid with alot of emotional baggage trying his best to get through life. [size=3]Best Female Character:[/size] Chi...I love her innocense and how shes constantly learning about the world around her...Through her she shows us what where all like...The bad and the good. [size=3]Best Soundtrack:[/size] Cowboy bebop...I dont think any other series can touch the undeniable cool of the music on this series...The jazz, the blues, and even the heavy metal are so flawlessly executed...Just poor audatory goodness. [size=3]Funniest Character:[/size] Pen-pen...Come on you all know penguins rule dont you?...This little fella could bring a ton of laughter even in the most serious situation with just a waddle and a few funny noises...bless you pen-pen :D [size=3]Biggest ***$hole(the one person you hate the most...): [/size] Naraku...This guy is just so evil and such a jerk...Ohhh Id really like to off this guy myself... [size=3]Biggest Badass:[/size] Hiei...He just always seems to be in a bad mood...But it works for him...Hes a very cool and interesting character indeed. [size=3]Hottest Chick:[/size] Asuka...Not only does she have the figure but shes a deep and troubled girl with all kinds of quirks...Just like a real person... [size=3]Most Well Dressed/With The Best Style Character:[/size] Chi...The dresses she has on are just absolutley stunning...Im not sure if theyd work in RL but in the manga/anime she always looks fabulous. [size=3]Best Death:[/size] Im gonna cheat and pick 2...They happen in the same ep. First Julia...It was SOOO incredibly sad when she died...Spike had spent so long looking for her only to have her taken from him once again...And later spikes own death...With a one word utterence we see one of the coolest and greatest anime characters fall after a dramtic series of action scenes...truly moving... [size=3]Best Anime Movie:[/size] X1999...A lushly animated movie with a very interesting story...Another great Clamp story... [size=3]Best Anime OVA:[/size] Well I can never figure whether PatLabor is a OVA or series of Movies...Either way it would be my choice...Its humanity, excellent story telling, and characters set it far above most standard "mecha" fare. [size=3]Best Anime Music Track:[/size] Komm, susser Tod...from evangelion...This song has a decievingly ubeat tone to it but when you stop and actually listen to the lyrics its very sad and depressing...But excellent none the less...I think it was the perfect piece to play near the end of evangelion when "rei" was inacting the instrumentatlity. Wow ok well this took me quite abit to write...Should be interesting to see who wins...heh :naughty: [/color][/font][/b]

[color=silver][font=times new roman][b]Great googly moogly...Bruce made 86.4 million dollars...And beat the heck out of Matrix Reloaded... I didnt expect this one too do THAT good...Well def. looks like ol' Jim is back in a big way...And he deserves it :cool: [/color][/font][/b]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]wow hatake thats really nice...Very crisp and high quality...Easy to read text...My only quam would be to use a diff pic for it...Other then that though its a really nice looking banner...An easy 10/10 :D [/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]heh QA I like to think that they both finally got it together at the end of the End of Evangelion movie...[spoiler] Although theres that whole theory that the girl at the end was actually a combination of Asuka/Misato/Rei...[/spoiler] But I still like to think they lived happily ever after...Just like spike never really[/color][spoiler] died...he just passed out[/spoiler][color=crimson]...sighz... :bluesweat[/font][/color]

[font=times new roman][color=crimson]Well ill give you a few answers AJeh...[/color] [spoiler]-This one is hard...IT really can be either one...No ones really sure whether its previous ones responses or possible answers from neo...I personally would go with the latter. -Yeah in reloaded we learn theres more then just the agents running around in the matrix...Theres also alot of errant programs running around the matrix that refused to be erased(Like the twins and the 2 guys guarding the key maker) These programs are what form are myths and strange occurances...Ghosts(the Twins)...Werewolves(The 2 guarding the keymaker)...And so forth. -This is currently the sixth matrix...Each one exists 100 years(As does zion) So the matrix has existed in one form or another for 600+ years.[/spoiler] [color=crimson]Well I hope that helps ya... :D [/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]Well I like it...BUT I think it will lose alot of its effect if you dont see the 2 pics close together like above...I think it would look better if it had both twins in it... But thats just me :p [/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]Yeah it looks like a good concept but it is way too low quality unfortunatly...The effect in the background looks nice but the text is abit hard to read... So yeah just up the quality of it abit... :p [/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]veeery nice...The white and orange go together very nicely...And thats a nice pic you used for the banner too... The little white bubbles and "perforated"(sp?) look that seperates the orange from the white looks real cool... :cool: Ill def give it a 10/10 :D [/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]The 4th one I like ALOT...Im not too big on the previous ones just because I dont like that look of having the same pic on either side of a central object...It just doesnt look so good to me...But I do like the colors and look of the banner...just not the pics :p The 4th one (while I have not a clue who the girl is) Looks real nice cause the red matches the pic of her very well...And its got what I like most simple elegance...Not too overloaded with imagery... :D **wonders if subversive would mind if I made off with the 4th banner** :devil: [/font][/color]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]Its looks really nice...The blue and the effects in the background look great... I swearz DD do you know how to make a crummy graphic...Im so jealous :D[/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]Thats really nice looking...I dont think it looks too pixelated at all... Nice clean image...Has a very elegant look to it esp the pinkish border...A tad on the small side but otherwise very good :cool: [/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]Well i wont make any judgements whether it could be official OB cause I dont know what they look for in a banner...But to me its very nice...I like the Font and the water like background...The only thing im not too crazy about is the checkers on the right...Just doesnt quite fit...Not 100% sure why :p Otherwise its a nice banner... :D [/color][/font]

[color=crimson][font=times new roman]Wow...Thats freaky cool looking...heh... I really like the effect you did to the skin...Really interesting looking :cool: [/color][/font]
