Cajun, since you don't appear to be in the chat, if you see this please advise if you approve of this design for the character to appear on your Seal of Cute.
Sorry I dispatch fuel on the Gulf Coast and it is extremely busy tonight keeping stores fueled up so I havent been around.
That is a ridiculously cute design! Marvelous.
4,000 Virgins went to a brony con some weeks ago.
Several Hasbro Items went on sale on comic con about a month back and only the Pony item sold out.
Had arguments with them that the show just pretty much is overrated and is the tombstone of the the animation industry and people took it the wrong way.
the side that support Saban are those CoD fanboys who liked MMPR before but didnt care he was just as lucky as Al Kahn was with Pokemon, but i felt Kahn was better than Saban because Saban has hollywood connections and Kahn went his own way.

Oshii on crack. It's like an animated stage-play of super bizzare proportions. They really don't make anime like they used to. :/ Sometimes stuff that's just flat out bizarre like this is all the more awesome for it's incomprehensibility. Whoever greenlit this production, you have balls! Great stuff!

The success of MLP will obviously wipe out the industry.
Just like all the other shows that were successful before did.
Im mad MLP isnt the show for little girls anymore. Im mad that 4Chan cares more about a animation error than any other issue in the show. Im mad because the ad men had a slam dunk with Thundercats unlike anything they have ever seen and because two CEO's in CN stated lied about certain issues, they pushed everything out for Level Up. Thats what im pissed about.
I have no idea what you're talking about for the most part
but I agree that its overrated as hell by its fans
are you quite aware where you are right now
Yeah I'm not really sure why I even asked that question.

This is one crazy OVA series. I'm going to have to rewatch it to try to grasp it, but my initial impressions are very favorable. I especially enjoy all the stage play touches, like descending into and rising from the pit, and the character designs. Despite being exhausted, it managed to keep my attention through the reams of confusing, abstract dialogue, which means it must be doing something right. Glory be to Oshii and all that.

Sucks your work is so busy.
Glad you like the design!
Hurricane Isaac is heading right toward the area I am dispatching so people are buying gas like crazy.

I have something in the works for art trade.
Maybe we can outdo Shaft

Yikes! Good luck and stay safe buddy!
I don't know if anyone can outdo Shaft, but we can try.

This must be some new definition of good MMO I was not previously aware of.
Don't worry about what I spoilered, my bullet point questions are usually rhetorical anyway, hah. Saint Seiya Omega is fairly low on the list of series that I feel any particular desire to apply real-world logic to, it's just fun to point out absurdities sometimes.
That's something that I'm probably less inclined to watch for Umakoshi art than for SatoJun-directed mahou shoujo goodness. I'm saving it back as a reserve ray of sunshine for when I finally complete Sailor Moon SuperS and Sailor Stars and the feeling of loss begins to set in.
Episode three was generally very nice-looking, however there were a few shots that were ruined by horrible CG fire like this that gave me cause to argue that the episode ran the gamut from ugly to beautiful.
I too was impressed with how Yuna's character was introduced and developed in the span of a single episode. Her ethereal flashback sequence was really a deft way of filling the viewer in on her internal struggle over wearing the mask in a brief amount of time, and it's always nice to see a female character strong enough to
willfully disobey authority and have a strong sense of personal justice
Sure, I didn't mean to express actual offense over that particular plot point. My bullet points are always meant to be less serious than my actual paragraph-form episode reviews, but I think I may have went overboard with sounding truly taken aback, hah. Given the franchise's long history, I think it's safe to assume that the majority of plot points that I find quaint or outdated can be chalked up to tradition.
Now I'm curious as to the extent of the show's product lines. Are cloths being marketed to children? Weapons? I certainly don't think that the franchise is being revived without the expectation of it generating lots of revenue.
Definitely, I'm aware that Souma doesn't actually live in Japan, but based on the names they're all likely ethnically Japanese, though. It's not a point that genuinely bothers me or anything, of course, and I know that it's an easy way to make characters more identifiable to viewers.
eh, I can only draw conclusions based on what I'm familiar with. Namely, the four episodes of SSO that I've seen.

oh you
Always reminded me of a puppet show somewhat due to way it's set as a stage, but especially due to the designs & utsunomiya's work. I remember there being a focus on sweeping movement of the limbs (especially noticeable in that scene where he runs across the roofs of the cars), and combined with the joints and the designs where you could almost see the seams peeking in around the mouths... it goes with the ideas it explores later on, as well.
The show is so odd, but there's a great slapstick sense of humor to it at first, although it gets supplanted as it goes by the sheer surreality of it all. I think I'm due for a rewatch; there's probably much that I've missed.

Yeah, it is a bit plain I admit. I'm a rather boring designer (which is reflective of me as the artist). >>;

No worries. There are like only a finite amount of cute poses in this world anyways
Pick one, master it, improve on it!
I heard you wanted to beat SHAFT at their game.
Thats only Ume Aoki collaborations.
Shaft usually has similarly proportioned characters as everyone else.

I have to agree with firehawk12, for once. Pretty much everyone in supporting cast of Gintama is loveable to some degree.
looks like she got enough Hidamari in her dietI heard you wanted to beat SHAFT at their game.

Well that's not surprising, really. Gundam 00, like many Gundam shows, has a pretty bad cast. Apart from Graham Aker.
That kind of comment usually attracts some attention in this thread. It looks like you were lucky.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I find the Binbougami cast much more likable with the exception of a few characters from both series.

I find the Gintama villains more likeable than Ichiko.
You're really set on making us know just how much you hate Ichiko, aren't you?
Well, the last one didn't make much sense but it sure looked cool.

Oh look, it's Winry again! And she's taking off her clothes/hitting people with wrenches. Wacky! I thought we'd moved beyond such gags and scenarios. I guess not, they even use this kind of imagery to portray it:
This kind of shot, where the character is portrayed centre of the frame with absolutely no attempt at background art just serves to remind you that, yes, this has been adapted from a manga. I suppose this is all supposed to 'lighten the mood' before we move towards the shows climax (which still seems to be quite far away) but I find it to be a distracting break in the tone of the show.
Speaking of distracting elements that break my immersion in the show:
This brief moment of Riza fanservice during the final montage just felt our of place and forced, like it fell from a different show. I know we've had 'shower scenes' before this, but they felt dumb too.
Also, whatever genius decided they should start playing the beginning of the ED track over the final moments of the episode should be shot. Especially when it's this really shitty sound electric guitar nonsense that has no tonal connection to the events on screen.
Just awful.

This is the entire reason I dropped Brotherhood so early on, because of all the gags. They were stupid for the most part and felt incredibly forced. I enjoyed the original FMA anime because it was serious, and when it did use humor it wasn't always random gags that came out of no where.

Well they had basically dropped that entire style of presenting humour about half-way through the show and it only re-appeared in this episode, which is why I singled it out.

Indeed! I'm really struggling to think of an anime character that's nearly as offputting as Anthy has been. Maybe Rolo from Code Geass?
