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.

Hey Maple,
Thanks for your nice comment and the fav.

Quote: I love the original Snow White story, so much darker, not the tamed down Disney version...

I completely agree, I like to read different versions of a fairy tale, most of the time the older the more gruesome it is. For example in older versions Snow-White's own mother tries to kill her, I don't think I'd read these stories to children. ^^°

Thanks for your feedback and Happy Holidays to you.

Thanks, it works in Firefox now, but not in IE. There's got to be a way to fix that. It's wierd, your page displays properly in IE, just mine doesn't. *face desk*
>__< Try using #posts { background: #xxxxxx; } instead of #posts { background:none; } ? IE might have some stupid way to use the default colour (ie the colour in the default CSS) if you use "none;"

I tried that. >_< But last night I was BEYOND irritated with it and begged Sam (Pink Princess Lacus) to go over it line by line and found something where we combined two lines I had in there and now it works. So...my inability to organize my code was seriously hindering the correction process. THANK YOU for all of your help. *hugs* Without the two of you I would be a basket case.
