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.

Hi ! Thank you again for your answer ! Though it really didn't help, but I guess it's not possible then to colour the space under avatars in your guestbook different colour than the post background itself. It's okay though !

Anyway, I have to bother you yet with another question. (^_^;) I was wondering how you got the text colour in guestbook posts and links to different colour while not changing the colours of headers like popular art, favourites and friends ? As well as the colour in members names ?
I found the code to change the header colours, but when I put the colour for the text in colour section of the page edit, it changes all the texts, including the headers. I would like to have them in different colour like you have.

Oh and then I have one problem, in the edit style, I can't change the pages to background or to the advanced css leaves...It only stays in colours. I think it happened because I wrote notes which code changes which option after the css codes. I was supposed to take the notes off before saving but when I was supposed to press preview button, I accidently pressed save button instead. And after saving, now I can't go to advanced css or to change the bacground anymore. Hope you can help me with this one too ! (^_^;)

Hope I'm not bothering you too much ! And thank you so much again !

Hello MapleRose ! Thank you for your answer to my questions ~ it helped me a lot ! I have one more question to bother you with though ~ How can you change the colour of the space on the left, where are the avatars of the members who have written your guestbook ? I tried to look around, but didn't notice answer for this one. I only found the code how to make the space same colour as the content background.

Thank you again and sorry for bothering you with the other question !

Your wish has been granted...I reduced them a good deal (among some other, smaller correctures ^^°)

Edit...ok it should have quoted something too -_-"

Ok I'll do it manually:

Quote by MapleRosethe background colours are very nice, and I like the blending of the colours in the sky, though I wish the silhouettes didn't have that outer glow...

Quote by MapleRosesuch a bright wall XD the shirt is very cute.

I wish it has sharper outlines though, esp for the arms, as they kind of melt into the background on my monitor. Also, her smile looks kind of weird, being so big of an U (tall and thin), it's a bit unnaturall ^^; maybe a wider smile would look more natural. Lastly, I think you forgot eyebrows >__<

Crap! I always forget eyebrows! Thanks. As for the other things...I agree, but...I wanted it to be sketchy. Meh. I'm not totally happy with it, I told Kitten I would make her another present since I don't like this one enough.

Quote by MapleRoseThanks =D

lol, yeah I didn't realize until I put it on my desktop and it was sticking out XD so I made the signature smaller XD

LOL@draw a staff banner XD did you draw that?

No problemo!

Hahaha, yeah, I drew that. It's ain't no Kitten drawing or anything, but I'm pretty proud of myself, darnit! Especially since I was supposed to go to college for art. I haven't drawn anything in YEARS, yo.
I love how I painted her legs. So proud *tear*

Now it looks perfect *___*
I really like that texture, it fits your painting like a glove.
Can I please steal it, if I use it with a rough blending option it could look like dust or small splashes 8 D
