I am IMPORTANT!

Really.  Y'see, first I put this in the Emiko's Genesis Chatroom ("Which Anime Character would you want to date and where would you go?" was the default topic):

      Well, gee ... that depends on the anime character.  If you count video game characters, then definitely Rufus Shinra from Final Fantasy VII.  He is *sooooo* suteki! XoX Okay, so maybe he's selfish, greedy, coldhearted, and spoiled, but am I too and you can't be too picky anyway.  Plus, we're both villains! (*Little injoke -- I'm a.k.a. Evil New Age Villain Chatty the Bad Guy, all-around card-table RPG antagonist extraordinare*)

      Where would we go? Gosh, there's so many places ... could we compromise and go to Genesis? ^_- Just kidding.  I'd probably stick to the Golden Saucer in the FFVII universe.  We could go on all the rides that have motion sickness warnings! WAI!!

      If, however, you're limiting this to strictly ANIME MOVIE GUYS (hey, FFVII was kind of like a movie ... but I'm not complaining ... *sniff*), then I guess I'd drag Keiichi Morisato from Oh! My Goddess! off to the nearest anime universe with a movie theater playing either Tenchi Muyo, any one of the Evangelion movies, or Emiko's Genesis - The Movie.  (If it turned out that no such Universe exists, or that Emiko's Genesis - The Movie is an OVA, then we would rent/buy a video and watch it at home with another couple.)

      Mwa ha ha ... that's all I have to say on that matter.  Ian-san -- I'm making you a 50000 hits gift CG.  I expect it done in the next two weeks or so.  It'd be done sooner, but the only scanner I can use is being unplugged and MOVED this week ... WAH!

      Evil Chatty signing off! (*SD salute*)

     

  • Then I read a post of Ian's about who controls the DUBs, and made this Reply:

      Did I just see you use the term "DUBs" and "control" in the same sentence? O_o I always thought they acted perfectly randomly, just like they look.

      All I know is that I have absolutely nothing to do with them.  I may control Barney, the Spice Girls, Hanson, and other evil things as parts of my evil plot to take over the universe, but not the DUBs.  ^_-

      Oh yeah, and please explain to me why you made one of the Spice Girls leave the group. ^_-

      Ian-san: Mwa ha ha.  Well, getting rid of Ginger Spice was more an act of self-preservation. ^_^ You see, she kind of led the Spice Girls part of my evil plot, and ... well ... just remember the Right-Hand Man rule of RPG cliches: Whenever the Bad Guy has a "right-hand man" character, that character always kills the Bad Guy (or helps you kill the Bad Guy) and ends up being the final boss.  Probably the most common cliche; just about every game uses it.   In any case, I didn't want to risk becoming yet another Emperor Gestahl, and so Ginger got the boot. ^_-

      Did that answer your question? (Maybe I should compile a FAQ to link to when I get these questions. ^O-)

     

  • Y'know, that FAQ idea isn't so bad.  Hmmm ...

    Anyway, then I decided to dig into Ancient Chatroom History ...

      Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you.  I need to think up intelligent criticism, i really do.  ummm... i really didn't think that it switched as much as you made it out to be in the issue 1 intro.  It really fits better with the l ater issues (much better than the first, IMHO, though the first amazed and spoiled me [i now can't view over 90% of the other online mangas, yours is just too good], so i dl-ed the zip of the original #1, my "collector's edition" is secured)

      Eric's sword is almost as smooth as mine :) Look, a while ago, I just decided I had too much money, so I bought a flame blade (and tonight, i annoyed everyone at Mulan [look, my girlfriend asked (pouted) nicely, and as has been noted, i can't say no to a pout] by shouting "hey, that's my sword" when the bad guy flourished the flame blade).  I notice that I seem to be more insane than usual when it comes to money... That is the only anecdote of mine i will tie to this praise, i hope.  Was i the only on e who shouted "YUMI!" when the "OH HO HO HO!" appeared, plastered across the panel, i hope not... But there is Mika, and Tamiko, and Ken, and everybody

      I LOVE the shots of First Tokyo, and the transports, you have an amazing world here, the finest I have seen in quite a while.  And the only thing i can really talk about is worlds, as i make maps in my my spare time.

      I eagerly await part 2 (hell, I am chomping at the bit for part 2).  Strangely, more than i am chomping for the last Evangelion tape to be translated (July 7!) Strangely, because i know when that will be, it is in the back of my mind, however, i visit this place every day (or thereabouts, atleast late at night, going "is is here?")

      Nope, you're not the only one who yelled when the "OH HO HO HO HO HO" splashed across the screen.  As soon as that page finished loading, the Moogle in Black that was sitting on my head said:

      "Santa Claus? Santa's in an online manga?"

      "Noooo, you baka!" I replied, "That's not Santa! It's ... it's ... OH MY GODDESS ... it's YU~~~~~~~MI-SA~~~~~~~~MA!!!!! WAI!"

      And then I morphed into a hyper SD chara and the poor Moogle in Black had to dump warm water on my head to bring me back to normal.  ^^;; But I'm o~~~kay no~~~w ... uh oh ...

      "Kupoppo! I got the water right here!" Oh wait ... I'm better now.  Really.

      Anyway ... is Tamiko going to get a spot in the profiles anytime soon? Will we be able to vote for her as a favorite chara in the "sign-once, stay forever" guestbook? I know someone who's a fan of hers ...

      "Kupo! Psychic girl with glasses is very kawaii!!!!"

      Well, besides this here Moogle, I mean.

      Thanks for understanding. I really meant that I and Mystic have very little artisic ability... you should have seen the sheet of paper that occured when what's-her-name said she wouldn't draw for us, it looked horrific my side being th e worse (it was all square and 2-d looking).  Let us see, Yumi has already been called for shrine-ing (a word? yeah, sure), i think i will create an edifice dedicated to ken... or maybe mai... i don't know, it is such a difficult choice... oh and chatty, rufus is indeed the man (my boy is smooth! yes, there is no complement higher than smooth in my mind, and i just love shotguns.  it's like i was telling cristal, making a big hole in something is just gratifying.)

      Glad to see someone else almost fell out of thier seat when they read the issue (seems like everyone did, actually. Do we love genesis too much...? Perhaps [Oh, wait, nobody has ever seen that Hamlet-spoof so nobody knows what I am talking about *sigh* ]).

      VoidStar, you say eva 0:13 is out?! now?! darnit (i am seriously censored here) i need to wait for the paycheck (look, the red stone chinese dragon sculpture called my name, ok?) i guess i can wait a week... or where is that ATM card? [must stop self.. .]

      Thanks for all the comments people...I'll try not to let it get to my head and turn into a "James Cameron" ego-maniac. ^^;;

      Izumi?: No, she will not be in Issue 1a.  This next issue is more focused around just one event, and around just a few people.

      EG Movie: The EG movie would have a similar tone to Tenchi Muyo in Love.  Some comedy, some drama, and a heart wrenching ending. ^_^

      About Yumi: Please, any more praise for Yumi and her ego will never get over it!! O_o

      About Tamiko: Yeah, she'll get her vote/profile spot eventually....she was originally supposed to be just an "extra," but someone said she seemed like an interesting character, so I upped her status.  She's pleased about that. ^_^ (but now I have to make new SD heads. ~_~)

      Genesis Seiyuus: Hey, I like this topic! ^_^ *starts taking notes* Eric = Tomokazu?....Emiko=Kotono? Hmmm....not sure about Emiko...never been sure what her voice should be, but I think Kotono is a little too high pitch? (Misato....*drool* :D~~ ).  Maybe Eva should be played by the seiyuu for Key, or the seiyuu for Rei? ^_^ (though hiring Megumi H. might empty my pockets. ^.^;;).  The other characters that need VAs are Mika, Tamiko, Izumi, Megumi, Yumi, Ken, the Chief, Mai, and Nana. ^_^

      Gainax bounce: Oh yeah, forgot about that....but their animations are so goood!! ;_; *sigh* Though they'd probably want an Emiko shower scene or something ~_~;; Company full of otakus. ~~;;;

     

  • Y'all hear that? Mr. Tamiko Fan can start his Tamiko shrine soon.

      If i could date an anime character Rufus Shinra would be my pick.I would have to have him get interest in me (talk about mako taxes??^^;;;)Since he is the cute red head (or blonde..strange..)with my favorite motto:"I want to rule the world with fear and not by money" (Go Rufus!!^^;;) I would really be one lucky girl in Midgar just to get his attention.His looks are beyond human looks,(his har..his outfit,his shotgun!)and he has that special Shinra charm.I don't have to worry about his dad,cause' he was kind of hated by everyone anyway.Well,even if I never get Rufus I hope that I can kick scarlet back to the prehistoric era.

      Yay! Another Rufus supporter! I'm so happy ... even if you *are* my competition. ^_- I think I'm going to set up a Rufus Shrine (believe it or not, I've only found TWO of them), but that means I'd have to go running around like crazy getting artists' permissions for to put up the 25 or so pictures that are cluttering up my Stuff Stuff directory. ~_~ And that's not including the stuff I've drawn myself! (Remember Ian-san's "Chun Li streak"? I'm going through my Rufus streak. ^_-)

      Oooh, looky, new subject topic! ~o^ If I could exchange places with any anime character for one day, who would it be, and what would I do? Hmmm ... well, maybe I'd switch with Skuld from Oh! My Goddess! and do a lot of BUG SMASHING! Mwa ha ha ha.  Squishy bugs.  Hee hee.

      (Sorry.  That's yet another injoke I've thrown in without warning.  You'd have to know about the Liberation Army of Cockroaches to get that one ...)

      Gee whiz, Jen-chan ... do you have Tamiko's senses or something? I was/am working on a doushinji (with Rufus as the main chara *o*) where I was having super-duper problems with the original character I'd added.  She looked just like a Belldandy clone.  ACK! I fiddled around with her character design, but on a return visit to HERE I discovered that she'd become a Nana clone with a short skirt.  ACK ACK! So then I messed around with the character design a third time and I think it's okay now.   And her skirt's gotten longer, too.  But I've discovered a new problem -- I **** at drawing. ^_- Line variation and guys are sooooo difficult! How does Ian-san manage?

      Anyways, I don't think Rufus and the real Belldandy would get along very well.  One's selfish, the other is selfless, one's very proud, the other is humble, one's very greedy, the other is *NOT*, etc.  Not really much in common there, ne? But, then again , I may be underestimating the charms of the magnificent Belldandy ... As for the Rufus Shinra Shrine, I'm working on asking many wonderful artists (Lex-sama, Mr Jeff Axer, etc.) for their permission to use their stuff.  Which means the ba rebones essential of the page won't be up for a while (and that's assuming that they're going to say YES).

      WAI! Ian-san, help us! Tips, please! Figuring out the techniques of kawaii-fu and not-making-guys-look-like-girls-with-short-hair is hard!
