Okay. I am really liking this logo. The only problem is...it looks more like the logo for a Japanese Sushi Restaurant than an Anime Otaku website. T_T Joe and I tossed around this idea last night and I just started doing it. I wanted to finish it once I started, even though I knew it didnt capture what I was looking for. Now I admit...I MAY have went a little overboard with the blur tool. I just didnt think it looked that good all crisp and sharp so I ran over it twice with blur. Well, I like the concept...but I feel as though it should be MORE anime like...you know? So..I guess anyone with photoshop skills can run with this...or post your own idea. Anyways, I am going to post the sample review this weekend. I needed to think of a good graphic layout to put the word with. More to come....

OKaaay. So for some reason I was able to churn this out in 25 minutes. If you read back to my original post about the site, this was the logo I had envisioned....sort of. Still not SUPER anime-like...but this one is fun. I REALLY want that big black O in the middle to be out mascot, Toki. Like I said before...the cabbit/blod/kirby/kitty kinda thing. I have a sketch of him I will scan tomorrow and post. Would look tight if we could squeeze Toki in there!

I drew this picture a few mins. ago and thought I'd share it. I know you asked for something cutesy, so I thought of something like that and came up with this. I thought of a different compilations of cute little anime characters and combined some of them together. *Note the Mokona round body style from Tsubasa Chronicles* I don't really like the hat too much...but its just something that I made up real quick like I said. I tossed in the wings just for kicks. And the symbol is just a trademark symbol that I use. Like I said, its just a thought and I wanted to share it, thats all.

Make it cutsey...Cute mascots are always a plus...Whether it's Timcampy, Pikachu or the jello drops from Dragon Quest. I like the concept of the logo, now if we had a cute mascot to hang off the big "o" then I think it would be a perfect idea.

I like the first fox! Its cute. Now it just needs the heart in the claw, blood drippin down its mouth, and the human carcass with its intestines showing.

Nice drawing, but foxes are too girly IMO. Needs to be "anime" cute. Ummmm...Jiggly puff cute...Chopper cute...Mokona cute (Chopper) (Mokona)

Well upload what you've got tonight. I would like to be able to have a definite logo concept by the end of the week so we can run with that and put it into photoshop. Any more sketches of what our mascot will look like would be nice as well.
Also, I totally spaced this weekend (too much DotA) and didnt get my review posted. Once I do though, anyone who wants to consider writing for the site will need to do one as well.

That choose an anime episode so we can all review the same thing? Or do you want us to choose whatever we want?

episode??? lawlz...any of us should be able to do any episode review/synopsis in our sleep.
Im talking about a full series review.
The hardest part of this is remaining some what "spoiler free"
Anyways...you can do whatever series you want. I am doing mine on "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan"

I'm going to stick to writing reviews on anime I'm currently watching, that way my memory is fresh and I don't sound cheeky or judgemental towards many aspects I may have forgotten. Whenever the site is actually "official' I'll start downloading and watching the full animes like "Fate/stay night" and what not in order to write a more fulfilling review.
I can DEFINITELY do one on Busou Renkin though...That anime went from Awesome to awful so quick that my memory won't let me erase it.

But we're doing the website "Episode by Episode" on the new stuff, right? So why would we right full series reviews? Or even reviews on older stuff?...
I haven't started Persona yet. I'm gonna watch 1-5 sometime this week / by weekend and see what I can write up. I have a speech to write as well as a 3-4 page essay for English though, so I may not get around to it ASAP.

heres a quick tip...take those pictures you took from your camera...open illustrator and use the tools. you could just easily use illustrator and "trace" those images and manipulate and refine those "drawings" to make them more so appealing and to see if you desire to have them as "mascots."
