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.

    Quote by MapleRose Yay PPGZ! (I cosplayed as Buttercup) Haha, Buttercup with that scowling face XD

    nice painting, I like the clouds and the water, and the lighting effects. The railing looks a bit weird though. The front ones are fine, but the back ones (behind her) look weird. Like, I get what you're trying to do with it, that the railing is supposed to be behind her to surround the platform she's standing on, but the way you've shaded it makes it look kinda flat, so it looks like the back railing is directly behind the front railing and squishing her >__< I'm not sure how to fix it exactly, maybe by lowering it a bit so the top of the back railing hides behind the top of the front railing... but tbh it probably looks better without the back railing ^^;

    haha... Buttercup is really cute...

    hmm... you're right... but, when I tried to remove the back railling, it looks more weird... so, I just move the bottom of the bridge slightly down... how about it?

    btw, thanx for comment ^^

    Quote by MapleRoseneat design, and I like the greyscale; splatters look nice, though the grey brushstroke at the very back looks slightly blurry compared to the other sharp splatters, as if the brush has been enlarged ^^; or not made to be used in such size.. you could probably do without it actually, or make it sharper somehow >__<

    Lol, the brush that looked blurry is actually the right size - it's the splatter that was a bit sharper so I blurred it a bit. But thanks for the feedback; glad you liked it. :3

    Thanks for making the layout tutorial, it was very helpful :). I was really lost and I didn't know what to do to fix it, it was driving me nuts XD. I spent a long time on it, but at least it looks better. Well thanks again :)

    Quote: ooh, interesting that the trees look kinda like barbed wire. I like how you put trees in the background as well, but I find the trees being the same height a little too boring (esp since the treeline is near the middle), maybe some variation on tree height, or a curved treeline would make it more dynamic

    Hmmm, I was thinking 'bout it, but for some reason I wanted to make really straight line - it seems more creepy. But now I'm having some over ideas. Hmmmm =)

    Thank you for the comment, btw!

    Quote by MapleRoseshe looks like a teacher or librarian XD

    and you're good at drawing and shading folds... I'm jealous >___< I dunno if it's just the art style, but her neck looks a bit thin for her head >__<

    I think it is just you, though a slim neck is a jealous to some girls, I have a very wide neck myself... lol. non-related.

    Thanks~
