MapleRose's Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Tv Review

Rated: 8

At first, Gundam 00 isn't all that interesting; it didn't really draw me in (feel free to disagree, but that's just my opinion). Really, the first few episodes to me are just "mecha fanservice and politics". I started to think that it's just another Gundam/mecha series, nothing too special, and only kept watching out of curiosity and hoping it'll get better. While it's important to set up the situation and introduce and explain the technology (which they did, but I still find confusing), I didn't like how characters aren't developed until later; they were introduced, but you don't get to know then until later in the series, and that just doesn't have as much impact as if they were developed earlier.

MapleRose's The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Tv Review

Rated: 9

If you like sci-fi, fantasy or adventure, then this movie is probably not for you. While it has time travel, that's not really the main focus of the story; time leaping acts more as a plot-device to develop the characters and the story. Although some parts of the time leap are explained, it's best if you don't question how it works (like what happens to the current time line when Makoto goes back) and just take it as it is, else you'll end up going in circles and get a headache. The story focuses more on the relationships and the characters than the logics of time travel and how it works, and that's what you should focus on as well.

However, that's not to say the movie is all mellow and slice-of-life. There's action, humour, romance in it as well.

MapleRose's Jigoku Shoujo Tv Review

Rated: 6

The premise of the series is pretty neat and interesting. Each story takes a look at human nature, the injustices that exist in today's society, and our desire to take revenge even though it can't bring back what's already lost. Many people rely on Jigoku Tsushin and Jigoku Shoujo as a way out of their problems, even though in many instances the problem could be resolved by talking it over or by other means without having to condemn your soul to Hell. The crimes of the victims going to Hell varies, some deserve it more than others (and I admit it's very satisfying to see those who have it coming get their due). Whether Jigoku Shoujo is right or not in what she's doing is up to the viewer to decide.

    Her kimono design looks nice, I like how the flowers and sash are red to match Ai's eyes.

    The background looks fine. I don't think you need too much because it'll take away the focus from her. Although I wonder, composition-wise, if it'd be better for the floor board lines to go from top-right to bottom-left, because the way she's lying down, your eyes follow in that direction, so the lines would follow that flow..

    Thanks for you nice comment! Thanks for advice too! :3
    to BG:I tried to change the lines, but ... it looked strange, because her head looked more bigger XD
    I don't know what I can do....*lol*
    Thanks again! Have a nice day!

    Quote by MapleRosenice job combining those scans/screenshots :) The stain-glass background looks nice as well. My only complaint would be that the outline is too light sometimes, like for their eyes (esp his eyes) that they kinda melt into the skin...


    Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it <3 I uploaded a new version, made the eyelashes darker. Do any of the other outlines look particularly weird to you?

    Quote by MapleRose Yeah, I felt kinda bad changing my avatar from Murrue, since I always had her in my avatar >_< But this Yuki scan is just so adorable, and I've become somewhat of a Yuki fan after reading the Haruhi novels; she's just so awesome (and powerful) and awesome XD

    Is the GS/D movie actually coming out? It's been delayed again and again that I've kinda given up on it >_< Meanwhile I got into Gundam 00, the obsession has died down a bit now, but I'm excited for the movie that's coming out this year. Also looking forward to the Fate/Stay Night movie and the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya movie

    I see you're from Kentucky, I lived in Lexington for a year when I was younger XD

    Hey there, so sorry for the late reply I was sick for like 4 days and then I had 3 test one after another that I had to study for and take O.o. So how are you .? Oh yuki from Haruhi .? Ive never read it or watched it is it good .? Oh does it have romance if so I probably will watch it XD..lol.

    Oh well thats what the wikipedia website said that they were going to have it out in 2010 but then they wanted to do the gundam 00 movie first so they put it to 2011. Oh wow you got into Gundam 00, I dont know I tired one episode I just couldnt get into it I think I was still upset from Gundam seed destiny and I was like afraid they do a whole another story line that will end badly O.o. Oh yay a Fate/Stay Night movie thats awesome ive been thinking about starting that anime because I heard it has some romance in it. But someone told me a spoiler that the ending suck or it was sad so im a little nervous to start it.

    Oh yep yep im from Kentucky, oh so awesome really did you like it .? Oh my gosh so awesome you live in Canada that is so cool I bet you get a lot more snow there huh and I bet its so pretty there, do you speak french to .? I heard a lot of Canadians speak french because of some french areas there..*sighs*. Ive always wanted to learn french im wanting to take french classes next semester.

    Oh guess what I watched a while ago Dance in the Vampire Bund, Honey and Clover, Spice and wolf animes. Have you seen them .? Oh my gosh you should totally watch them their awesome well Honey and Clover is ok but Dance in the Vampire Bund and Spice and wolf you will love..*sighs dreamily*. So what all animes are you into lately .? Oh and I was wondering if you would mind if I added you to my friends list and you could add me back..*smiles hopefully*.

    Quote by BernouliThat is so cute~ I wasn't sure about your little star till I read your description, then I was like "OHHH, I get it nooww" XD +favvv

    haha thanks =D The little star thing was literally a last-minute addition. I finished everything and was about to upload it, when I thought to try it out... which meant I had to remake all the resolutions >__<

    Quote by MapleRose Thanks, although it's winter now so maybe I should change it? But I like this colour scheme, it's so bright XD

    Haha, I remember when I first came to MT, you were quite active, and then you disappeared, but now you're back XD

    Yeah I'm still a Gundam SEED fan (still my fave series) and Mwu x Murrue fangirl, though I think I'm less obsessed than I was before.. are you still Cagalli fan?

    Hey there, oh so true I do love your color scheme and pattern look in your userpage makes it look so professional. Oh yep yep sorry about that ive always been a friendly person but last year I transferred to a new university out of town and then I had health issues and I wasn't really well enough to get online for a long time although I never forgot about minitokyo because I always missed it but when I got well enough I came back better and more sociable than ever XD. Oh and I even missed your Murrue avatars it was so weird to see you using another avatar but the new one is pretty to and so fits you. But so true I do still love Gundam Seed and im still a crazy Cagalli fan but im just not as obsessed with it like I use to be but I still update and take care of the forum I made for Asucaga if you wanta check it out or maybe join, if not its ok. Oh are you excited about the movie that will come out next year .? So what all have you been up to lately .? Oh and congratulations on your newest wall it got Elite gallery again..*throws confetti on you*. I really loved it I think I wrote like a paragraphs long comment XD.
