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.

Thank you very much for answering my questions ^__^ . Now I can complete customizing my userpage. And your tutorial is really good even I with my poor reading skills could understand it. Thank you! Have a nice day!

Hi MapleRose! I'm sorry for coming to bother you here on your userpage especially since you said that questions can be asked on your thread. But I came up with more questions and I tried to ask your advice on your tutorial thread about a week ago but I though that maybe you didn't notice it since it combined with my earlier comment. Or that you've been so busy that you haven't had time to answer. I'm really sorry if this sounds like complaining T__T .

But, when someone writes in your guestbook you can see that in the right side of your page is the avatar, name of the person and the date when it's been sent. So how do I change the background to a different colour than the rest of the content background? Now in my page they're all the same colour. And how do you change the colour of the guests name? I'd also like to know that how can you make the advertisement next to the comment box disappear?

Thank you very much in advance! And sorry again for bothering you.

Quote by MapleRosethe hair looks awesome, and I like the texture on the walls. I just feel that the shadow is a bit too sharp and dark though, especially considering the shading on her doesn't have that much contrast (implying soft lighting instead of bright lighting)...

Thanks for the comment Maple
I fixed the shadows, going to update in a second
You're right it looks much better soft.

anou, i have a question here, look at my bg pic.. i mean the main layaout pic (i think you could understand this [the big bang one]) is being smaller even though i have use the same size as yours? ....

sorry~~~~~~~ my english are bad and i am troubling you too much!
sailorchiron Elite Member 1wk 5d ago

I'm pretty sure that I just need to redo the layout with a gradient to make the left and right sides the same color. >_< I briefly thought I'd solved the problem by changing the bg position to 0, but then the bottom was messed up. Oh well, it's a challenge for my next userpage. When I recover from this one.
