Hot Topics / Latest Rejections

Eh, I guess I won't be returning to fanlistings [soonish than expected] if my first application in a while (something very near and dear for many years) returns rejection.  :unsure: Oh well. At least I tried. Guess I'll just focus my attention on re-doing some of my dearies' layouts since I am finally in a place to sit down and work again and don't have anything else in-queue for me~

Brand New Fanlistings! / Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion (OVA)

« on: July 29, 2014, 04:21:47 PM »

I haven't seen the Madoka movies, but the layout looks lovely.

Oh you really should! The first two recap the series (it's worth re-watching honestly, they do different little things with it) and the last movie is supposed to be a sequel and it's a really great conclusion I think! Thank you. :3

*crawls out from under a rock and waves a flag*  :wave:

 

This is my first fanlisting for this year. I took a break because I was really burned out (and had to move across country TWICE). I don't know how active I'll be still, but I've finally settled down and was able to make a quick fanlisting for my favorite Puella Magi movie! I haven't loved a series this much since I watched Code Geass back in 2006. Anyway, please enjoy and join if you're a fan!

Off-Topic Chit-Chat / Sailor Moon 2013

« on: July 09, 2012, 05:04:49 PM »

The new anime series has not been confirmed to be based on the manga and there have not been any seiyuu confirmed: http://sailormoonlif.../26709034676/no

Personally, I would love for the new anime series to be based on the manga. I don't understand why you would feel threatened by a new version of the series, particularly one that follows the manga more closely. The new series doesn't really affect the old series. If you loved the old anime series - many Sailor Moon fans, myself included, do - then what would a new anime series do to that? Do you think that a new series would make you aware of flaws in the old series, of which there are plenty? (I love the anime but it has many, many problems.) You don't have to watch the new series if it really bothers you. But plenty of people like the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime despite the reboot anime series, or they like both the original anime and the Brotherhood series (which follows the manga more closely). A lot of people loved the Berserk anime and manga and are disappointed with the new anime movies; but I don't think their opinion of the manga or original anime series is diminished in any way.

And to be honest, I don't think you're an "original" fan if you only saw the dub, and only within the last year watched the original anime or read the manga. I consider the anime and manga series very different entities, but IMO, the English dub is a censored bastardization of the anime. You can enjoy the English dub, but don't expect everyone to consider you an "original" Sailor Moon fan; you're a Sailor Moon English dub fan, that's all. I do think it's strange that you'd find merit in both the English dub and the original anime and treat them equally, yet you have issues with a new anime series based on the manga. IMO, it sounds like you're self-imposing restrictions on your ability to watch the new series, when no such restrictions actually exist. If the new series is intended to appeal to a certain audience, then what prevents you from watching it? You can enjoy the series without the need for labels, regardless of where you come from or what experience with the Sailor Moon franchise you have.

I think you misunderstood my feelings about the new series. To clarify, I am aware of the flaws in the old series. Thing to note: I don't care about the flaws. That's what makes it so easy for me to enjoy two versions equally! I'm a fan of the Japanese one as well and I'm so far enjoying the manga though it's not the same experience as watching it be animated (which is something I prefer overall since I'm not THAT into manga). I watched the Japanese version quite a bit ago and only now (within this year) started the manga, following the re-print in America this year. I've also quite enjoyed the live-action story PGSM, which a lot of people are either disgusted or fans of it. Fans are fans no matter what version they like, no matter how long they've been watching/reading. I don't feel threatened in the least about this new series and I don't know where you got the idea that I was hesitant to watch the new series.

To elaborate, I was unsure of a new series since it seems it is a fad these days to "reboot" something and I was wary since most reboots are marketing ploys to rev up hype, or whathaveyou out of fans. I'm sure lots of things need to be redone and Sailor Moon is probably one of them. Remember, it was to be enjoyed by little girls a long time ago despite it's original intended audience, I was a little girl when the English Dub was around. I wasn't aware of a manga, let alone that manga existed at the time, and heck, I didn't know it was based on a Japanese show, so "original fan" is something coined by purists. I couldn't be an "original fan" anyway no matter what because I was simply unaware and too young to know about the other versions until I was much older.

A new series that would be based on the manga is something many fans (old and new) have been wanting. I'm sure once I'm finished reading the manga I'll appreciate the show a lot more should it be based on that, but it won't change my fan-level or opinion about the original anime. I know about the manga and its vast difference between the anime. I know all the differences in the English Dub compared to the Japanese release. I don't really prefer one over the other despite their differences. I'm someone who really enjoys being entertained and if a series does this, I enjoy it regardless! Both did this for me on I'm not picky whether something follows a manga or not. Too much energy to bother going nuts over minute details.

tl;dr I'm going to watch this anyway despite me being wary about yet another rebooted series. If it's done right, it'll be a hit.

Off-Topic Chit-Chat / Sailor Moon 2013

« on: July 06, 2012, 02:40:50 PM »

According to Anime News Network and probably the entire internet going insane, there is going to be a reboot (this is a recent word that's popped up with remakes of shows/movies/etc) anime of Sailor Moon, which will follow closely with the manga. @MissDream replied on Twitter to @moonkitty:

@chibikim @moonkittynet Yes. The new anime will more closely follow the manga and is intended for ORIGINAL fans of the series. Not kids.

I'm not sure how to take this. For one thing, I guess it's exciting to see something follow closely to the manga as a lot of fans of the manga have wanted. Others have criticized the anime as being goofy and stupid. I thought the anime (both dub and Japanese) had a special charm to it in both ways so I'm a fan of both (I'm not critical when it comes to dubs vs subs etc). Personally, I treasure the anime/cartoon I grew up with and this gives me mixed feelings. I've not read the entire manga myself yet (I've only just finished what was out in America of the re-print and sparingly reading a fan-translation from MissDream) so I'm not sure if I "qualify" as an original fan. Does this statement separate fans? Fans of the anime, fans of just the manga, etc?

What are your opinions about it? Are you excited? Are you indifferent? It's probably being made as we speak since it's slated for a 2013 release. Do you think summer of 2013 is a bit of a rush to get it out? I'm probably going to watch it anyway because Sailor Moon is a major part of my growing up, but I'll make sure to read the entire manga before it comes out.

Brand New Fanlistings! / Android 18 (Dragon Ball Z)

« on: July 03, 2012, 12:50:34 AM »

I actually got approved for this fanlisting while I was away visiting my parents and I had no graphics program to work with. Thankfully my awesome friend Raine stepped in and helped me out! This layout ended up being a collaboration between the both of us: she did the style/layout and I did the coding for everything. It ended up turning out amazing and I'm proud to show it off. I love Android 18--she's my favorite female aside from Bulma. I really think she faded into the background a little too soon and could have been touched upon more. Ah well, she's still my favorite anyhow! Once I get back home I'll work on adding more buttons in more sizes. ^_^ For now, enjoy what I have!

I'm really exciting to open this fanlisting! :wub: Hanyu is one of my favorite characters from this series. :flower:  I really love how the layout came out; I think it was the colors and images I used. Came out how I imagined! I think I was a little too excited because this is the fastest I got something like this done before. :blush:  If you haven't watched the series, I highly recommend it! It's become one of my favorites of all time and that's saying something! Anyway I present Hanyu's fanlisting!
