I don't like to judge characters based on divisions like yendare, tsundare etc. There are some Yendares that I like there are thouse I don't have a strong opinion about and there are thouse I hate. It depends from character to character. Saying that you like or dislike all yendares would be same as saying that you like or dislike all bisnismans and that you don't care that there is many different people who are bisnismans. My favorite Yendare (was my avatar thill yesterday.)

anime: Kakumeiki Valvrave Characters: Akira and L-elf

Seikon No Qwaser finished the first season moving to second one. It's a little bit too ecchi for my taste but if we overlook that it's a great anime with great characters and interesting story. Also it's one of thouse rare anime that acctualy has very great protagonist.

I am with you there, I can't stand Eng dubs because voice acting just lucks quality big time but I like the original Jap voice acting even true I understand just about 1/3 of it.

I come up with some details of your story (true don't feel obligated to add them if you don't like them or if you had something different planed) All 7 main characters were orphans they were picked up by slave trader who sold them to a missionary academy that trains soldiers and then sells them to 3 Factions when they are ready. They were picked up when they had 5 and 6 years (two girls were 5 orders were 6) they trained for 6 years after they were sold to different Factions where they trained for faw years before joining the war. Now 5 years latter 1 gay (17) and 1 girl (17) that were sold to Midoristal were sent by the military to help defend a small village at the end of the Midoristal boundary of a wild tribe of bandit cannibals (True world is divided into 3 factions there are some neutral territories mostly deserts and other places unfit for civilized life and in them there live many small tribes undefended from 3 factions but they are mostly wild bandits without proper theology and they mostly just fight one another but sometimes faw tribes unite to attack small villages on and of boundaries of 3 factions that luck proper military protection). 1 gay (17) and one girl (16) that were sold to Raepista were sent to Midoristal as a spy to see if stories about Midoristal being a step away from civil war are true, a town they were sent to be just faw kilometers far from a village that is being attacked by bandits. The rest two girls (17 and 16) and a gay (17) from Rouria are also sent to the same city but for a different cause they are to get a so called freedom fighters (civils/terrorist/opposing to Midoristal leadership) to make a deal with Rouria to Atack a cetrn region of Midoristal from inside while Rouria military attack it from outside. However thouse freedom fighters aren't even united themselves rather they are just alot of small groups with the same cause. 3 MCs manege to get in touch with one of thouse groups but is seems to be too late since they are already preparing for an attack on a main Midoristal station in that town. MCs try to stop them and to persuade them to wait till they get together with rest freedom fighter groups and then to attack a whole region together with Rouria military behind their backs but they won't listen and they do as they please. Because of their impatience they lose but 3 MCs menage to help them so not all of them die one of survivors is 13 year old loli girl whose oni-chan died in that battle her oni-chan was an ex Midoristal solider and he trained her to fight so she can take care of herself in battle and she wont's to continue to fight. But after their loss this group of freedom fighters is willing to listen and they give their word to MCs that they will wait and fight together with Rouria. MCs continue on their mission to get other freedom fighters to join their cause and loli girl join them because it would be easier to move true town with her as she knows it well (If possible I would make her into eight MC and posably romance interest later in the story). The story continues all 7 MCs are in one small region of Midoristal fighting for a different side not knowing that their friends are close. Also 2 MCs from Raepista might have mixed their fingers in fight for the station in that town as Raepista benefits from druging fight between freedom fighters and Midoristal as they know that if freedom fighters ware to take that station Midoristal would sent heavy artillery against them to retake it and as freedom fighters are now there wouldn't stand a chance against it. Offcourse they don't know that Rouria are playing their cards with freedom fighters too. The last two MSc are losing the fight as reinforcements didn't come in time because of fight in a nearby town and they consider that if it continues that way they might have to start evacuation of village and to withdraw into the walls of the nearby town. Also all MSc meat some SCs that help them true at this stage of the story. Wath do you think? PS: If you like mecha watch Kakumeiki Valvrave my favorite mecha anime and my 5th favorite anime, first season is finished second season will be finished in 10 days. Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari is also very good.

I didn't read Hoshizora no Memoria yet but I do like your way of thinking. I too think that characters are most important part of every anime and VN because if you don't like characters you won't care for them so you won't care wath happens to them and you won't care for the story. And if you don't care wath happens in a story that you watch/read you won't enjoy it. Offcourse story is very important too but without good characters it means nothing but the opposite is also true if you have good characters but nothing happens to them or just really bad things happen to them you will still dislike that VN/anime. So for a good anime/VN you need both good story and good characters and for great VN/anime you need great story and great characters. And Wath divides characters into bad, average, good, great characters are your feelings for them so to have great characters you need to care for them alot but I wouldn't say that you do. And wath makes me say that is this line in your previous post in topic "H-Scenes. Really necessary?" This line "And as for dating, one of the goals (at least for males) is to have sex,". If your goal is to have sex then you don't really care for them you care for your self. If you really care for them you wouldn't care for having sex with them just being with them would be inaf, just to hug them to share a romantic moment with them would mean hundred times more to you than if or if not you had a sex with them. If you think about someone and you think about having sex with them you can't possibly be in love with them if you were in love with them you would think about small romantic things that you want to share with them and you wouldn't care for sex one bit. Because feelings lie in small things like holing hands with the person you love and sex is jut a need an instinct and nothing more. And this is a difference between liking someone and loving someone. Characters that you like are god characters and characters that you love are great characters but people don't share same feelings for the same characters. So putting just your filings in review will explain to people why you like that VN/anime but it won't tell them much about if they will like it or not witch wath reviews are for. So when it comes to reviews I think that sticking to reviews is a better way to write them you can add your fillings in too if you want but statistics are absolutely needed in reviews. Especially since not many people are capable of having strong feelings.

Yea I am against mecha too, I don't dislike mecha but you need alot of experience and professional writing skills to make a good mecha story without turning it into a kids' story.

This is what you would call a Rough of a rough draft of my story.. I really just thought about it and wrote it down..Unlike my "Into the Night" story this had no planning.. But i would like to do the planning as a team. Anyway i would like to ask a Staff member if they can add a Poll to the TOpic if its possible.. That way we can decide what 2 stories we can decide to work with..Mix and match and come up with an excelent manga we can be proud in.. (By the way among the 7 Friends..3 are in Rouria, 2 in Reapista and the other 2 are in Midoristal) Since you are the OP of this topic you can add a Poll yourself, go into your first post edit>Use full editor>Menage topic poll. As for your story I think it needs alot of editing, details added but I do like the plot and I think we could make it into a great story/Manga. About your idea to choose 2 stories and mixed them, I think it would be better to choose 1 main to go with and then if we can we add things from other one onto it as a side plot or back story as I think that mixing 2 stories equally would ruin both stories since our stories are very different. EDIT: You might want to create poll with multiple choices allow for thouse who can't decide between 2 stories (just check Allow multiple choice).

Nobody said that it is a masterpiece, Eurobeatz said that it's 6.5-7/10 I would mostly agree with him 6-7/10 in the end I go with 6/10 because I actually disliked Kohaku's ending because is kind of ending that I hate the most.

Heres faw ideas about VNs that I think should be translated since you don't know wath would you translate. You would totally made my day if you would choose to translate one of them . Devils Devel Concept - http://vndb.org/v1308 Bloody Rondo - http://vndb.org/v5349 Koiseyo!! Imouto Banchou - http://vndb.org/v11433 Onii-chan Sharing - http://vndb.org/v12598 Imouto Style - http://vndb.org/v7066

We didn't even decided witch story would we go with yet, we have to decide at least that before knowing wath kind of background will we need.

I was wondering this too, there are two VNs that picked my interest but I give up on reading them after seeing that they are boys love but then I decided to give them a shot in a near future so now they are in my plan to read list (Togainu no Chi and DRAMAtical Murder). So my sugestion would be to pick up some BL VN that look intresting to you and read it/them when you have a time and then disade for yourself if you like it/them or not. As for Otome VNs that aren't Yaoi I didn't come across any that looked interesting but I did watch a faw Otome anime that I liked (example Amnesia) so I don't have any in my plan to read list but if I would to come across some that look interesting I would read them.

I usually play at night because my neighbors are pretty loud during a day so the night is only time when I can read them in peace. Also I usually sleep over a day with cotton wool in my ears.

I wouldn't realy label it as nakige becouse even true it has some sad moments the endings are still Whell at least first two are I still didn't play Kohaku Route.

Welcome, Its allway a good thing to have more devoted otakus colleagues to talk to.

You are realy good, whell it isn't anime/manga style but still it is very very good.

I'm not a very artsy kind of person, so my design skills aren't great, but my editing skills seem to still be fine. Had to add the tip of her foot as well as a few folds so that it wouldn't look cropped, and I think I did a fairly decent job. And I think that you didn't post it right I can't see it. I only see "Hosted on zerochan.net use the share links provided instead!"

I just got an idea about how could story go, so I am going to share it . Some world best hackers created a very special link/application but before they could share it or sell it online they get arrested for hacking a bank to steal money needed for their project so that project was left alone hiden on the internet protected by powerful firewall. faw years later one member accidentally finds that hiden site it is protected by password and strong firewall but that person is hacker himself he get interested in it and manage to break true protection and get that link. And after seeing that link he can't believe his eyes, it is a link that has specific number patterns that ones get to your eye they put your consciousness into a virtual world for a 147 minutes but because hackers get arrested and didn't finish it it is an empty virtual world with only one small house in it and everything outside that house is just endless white space, He Sheres that link to his friend on fuwanovel explaining them wath it is. At first they just start entering that virtual world and exploring it they figure out that if in a period of 147 minutes 2 or more persons see a link they will find them selves together in that small virtual house no matter where from you see a link. So people who up thil now where only friends at the forum start hanging out in virtual house and after some time they figure out that from inside virtual world they can program new things in our inside that house so they decide to finish it up and make a virtual game. However it is an untested application made by hackers who were stealing money from banks some strange thinks might be happening like wath if virus gets into application...... or they can just hang out and create a first virtual game ever together. I didn't mean romance to be a main genre eather by as a sub-plot in it. And psihology in it doesn't necessarily have to be dark and dramatic. But anyway it is just an idea you people disade if we will go with it or not.

I am too for Sci/Fi since if we are going to write about people on fuwanovel, fuwanovel is website/forum on the net and someone from fuwanowel might found some hiden Sci/Fi like link on net and desided to shere it here (will go more into ditels after I give it some time to think abou it). true I am also for adding some romance and psihology to it.

Heres another one that can't draw but can help with a story expecialy if story will have some psihology in it, I am prety good with action too but I am no good when it comes to comedy. Read my post in topic Designing a game concept if you are intrested in my potencial as a writer.

For people who want to play CS on their PC I recommend downloading PSP version and playing it with an emulator as the PSP version of CS has a story mode unlike PC version.

God luck, If you need me I can help with writing A Fuwanovel Memory book.

Electronic cigarettes aren't really that similar since you smoke oil and not tobacco and it isn't nowhere near the same like smoking real cigaret home-made one or fabric made one, true they are more healthy I guess but they could never replace real cigarets for me. True, I don't have a clue about why would they be illegal to sell here we have them in every store right next to real cigarets, tobacco and tobacco seeds (So if you have some gardening skills you can plant tobacco your self that is the cheapest way of smoking but I am not so good with plants and baying tobacco is already cheap enough). I don't really get that saying since person can't really die of good health.

Shadow Wars Genre: classic RPG Story concept: The story is set in present time real world except that there are many creatures lurking in the shadows and you are one of those creatures non the less than Vampire. Vampires are most populated creatures that are living in the shadows and ones with most power and influence and most of shadow kings are vampires. Shadow Kings is counsel to most powerful individuals in word in the shadows and they are keeping the peace in this world. Shadow Kings where assembled 4000 years ago when many vampire clans were at war between themselves as well as against other creatures and they nearly destroyed the world in their war so Agrees one of the first vampires and Casiel prince of faceless gathered most powerful creatures of shadows to stop the war Casiel died in that quest but Agrees managed to stop the war after that he created Shadow king's counsel to rule and keep peace in a world of shadows which he did up till this day. Many small fights still occur but thanks to Shadow kings it can't turn to all out war. You are just one of many vampires living in this world of shadows whoever you aren't part of any vampire clan and you don't know if you ever where because you have amnesia and can't remember anything past world war II when you awake in nasict underground laboratory so you together with your 4 friends Azul werwolf who was banished from his clan because he killed his clan leader, Haren and Kjatra elven twin sisters whose whole clan was destroyed when they try to stole dragon egg from Driger leader of only still existing dragon clan and mysterious Nadja half human half faceless who where nearly extinct 4000 years ago when their prince Casiel died so they nearly newer show themselves up thill to day and most believe that they are extinct, you 5 are famous outlaws in world of shadows doing Whatever is needed to get what you want of course you aren't nowhere near enough threat to get attention form shadow kings. One of the things you want is to get answers on who you are but even best information dealers don't know anything about your past past world war II which is very strange. Strange things have been happening lately more battles between clans and there wasn't even a word from shadow kings than one day Maimi right hand of Agrees shows before you, you can't even believe then someone then high up shows before you match less what she has to tell you, and that is "Shadow kings are killed I am the only survivor and I am badly heart remember your past or both shadow world and the world of humans are doomed" she say just that and disappears. You don't know what is going on is there someone powerful enough to kill Agrees and all shadow kings and if there is someone like that what can you possibly do to stop someone like that. Game mechanics: you control protagonist and up to 4 other party members in the same way as most popular RPGs like for example dragon age origin. I will add more details later I am tired from typing and when I am tired from typing I spell words wrong as English isn't my native language so I need concentration to spell it right. So if I continue now it will probably be hard if impossible to read. But be sure there is much more to be added. EDIT: More details. Story concept: Word in shadows is socaity for it selfs independent from human socaity. They even have they own money currency. There are many hiden difrent firms hiden all around the world that are run by shadow creatures for the shadow creatures (Shadow creatures is name for all unhuman creatures). Most Shadow creatures are part of some clan, clans always have just one race of creatures in them by there are usuly multiple clans of same race. there are 15 shadow kings Agrees who is the head of shadow kings and said to be most powerful shadow crature in this world and all relms conected to it, Maimi (AKA qeen) his right hand and 13 other councelers. There are many shadow creatures working for shadow kings but only shadow guards leed by warewolf Sax and word of shadow are geting their orders directly from shadow kings. Ahadow guards are unit of high level creatures triend for battle and assassinations and word of shadow is counsle that deals with matter that don't deserve shadow kings attention. There are many relms conected to this world by portals but they are usuly not bigger then one or two human towns and they are usuly low populated, to get from one relm to another or to this world you need to get aproval of word of shadow. There are 5 vampires in shadow kings including Agrees and Maimi, 2 warewolfs, 1 harpy, 1 dark elf, 1 necromansers, 1 yukiona, 1 fire spirit and 3 dragons. Dragons are nerly extinct race the only dragon clan has only around 30 dragons and it is belived that not more then the same number exist outside of clan but they are one of most powerful race of shadow creatures. Shadow cratures working for Shadow kings can't be part of any clan. Faceles have gon into hiding 4000 years in the past after their prince died so nerly nobady saw any faceles in more then 300 years so it is very strange that one half faceles is in your small group showing herself openly in world of shadows, but she dosn't know more about hersel then you do as she was raised by her human mother and never met her father after her mother died in time of world war II from old age she started searching answers when was when she met you faw years latter. There are many difrent races of vampires and one of them is born with ability to use vampire magic they are most powerfull amoung vampires and they are sad to be able to beat vampires match time older then themselfs. Vampires gein power with age but if one has inaf skill he can become stronger then vampires older then himself. There is 2 main tipe of magic, race magic that only setrn race can use and allrace magic that anyone can use tehnicly speaking even human could use allrace magic but becouse they bodyes are so week none have tried and survive to talk about it. Also true any race can use allrace magic some races just arent that good at using it vampires are one of them exept for one setrn race of vamires . You seem to be one of thouse vampires as you used magic when you nerly died fighting 1000 year old vampire but the magic you used dosn't semm to exist in nether allrace magic nor any race magic and it is only mentioned in legens, legens about demons, shadow creatures that whent extinct more then 10000 years ego. Game mechanics: You would have choices in the game that would detrmn autcomes of your misions.

I think that last 3-4 years have been very great for anime compared to older years, and if we are talking just about 2012 and 2013 2012 might had more anime that stand out but except that I don't think that 2013 was any weaker than 2012. Hoewer I do think that winter 2013-2014 look something disappointing compared to rest of the seasons but I might be wrong about that after all we are getting Pupa and Chuunibyou 2 for that season.
