Title: Just wondering
Post by: Meryl on July 31, 2008, 10:09:02 AM
I searched the boards for any discussion on this already, but didn't find any hits.  Apologies if this has been dealt with previously.

I was just wondering...  The Physical FanListings directory no longer accepts/approves fls for the physical design of anime/manga characters.  Has tafl considered adding such a category?  

It seems to me that it might be unique from other related categories - for example, one might hate the personality/plot device/voice actor/interpersonal relationships of a particular character, but love the design (Ayanami Rei from Evangelion is one example I've heard this about).  And it may not be that the general artwork or style of a manga-ka that provokes devotion, but the design of one particular character (sorry, don't have an example for that one).

Just wondering, thanks!

We do not approve fanlistings for purely physical character aspects (as you will see in the rules of the characters categories).  Any physical aspects of a character are already covered by their approved character fanlisting.
