Hi there~ There's an icon/avatar contest at M@AP, check it out here~ and please do join if you have the free time to do so =)

Hi ... thanks for your comment
well ... on Clannad movie, the color of Tomoyo's hair a bit brownie
so with the scan i've got and used

Ah, I'm sorry I spoiled you a bit. ^^; I figured that since the game's been out for a while it would be ok to wall by now.
I'm glad you like my planet! At first it started out like crap, but then I kept adding more and more layers, blurring my brush strokes, and adding emboss layers and inverted color layers (offset by a few pixels) to add shadows and depth. Took a while, but I got to the result you see now. I used the scan as a reference to study how the clouds should look. Yeah, it would have been easier to find a stock planet, but I figured since I already used a stock for the stars, I should just make my own planet. I'm glad you like it!

No problem.
Your wall "Hakanai Yume" is really good. I love it =3

See ya!

hehe. Thats all good! They are Awesome!!

Hi depthchargex want 2 be my friend

English. Can't read japanese. But much of the merchandise is really tempting.

Actually, it is Akari. But Alice and Alicia are following very, very close. It\'s just that those two scans were extremely hot, I simply HAD to do a sig/avatar set :3
I\'ll check that store out if I decide to get Stella, right now I\'m saving up money for more ARIA manga and some camera stuff.

Nope >_< and kinda regret it now, though I have HQ scans of them. Stella seems to be out of print and Alpha is on my to-buy list.

Damn >_< and I just got Cielo...
I want a new artbook by Kozue Amano.

Obviously it's on my desktop right now :p Alice+a lot of blue = LOEV < 33
I've only been following ARIA since June '06, so that's nearly two years, too... damn it feels like it's just been a year.

SPOILER (click to view)

Yup yup, that scene with Alicia and Akari crying with Nanairo no Sora wo, and they played Undine again in the end! Tho I thought at first it was Euforia (yeah my memory got messed up in time), it was very much WIN and very very fitting.

Yes, one more episode DVD-only episode. Probably the first chapter on volume 12 (that's the single chapter not animated in the 3rd season) or a chapter from vol. 11 - just a filler story. Still, there can never be enough of ARIA... tho the closure was extremely satisfying. But you know, there were 53 episodes of ARIA in total :p kinda amazing, considering it's a niche anime. As they say, all good things have an end ;_;

I was up till 3am to watch it last night ._. damn share is too slow here, torrent was out first before I could finish downloading it there.
I have a lot of things to say about the final episode, other than that I literally cried while watching <_<

SPOILER (click to view)

I've been spoiled the fact that Alice gets married and I knew about the last scene, with Ai and adult Akari. Neverthereless, I cried ;_; The execution of the episode (and the second season, aside from an episode or two), was marvelous. Oh and her new hairdo looks better in the manga, IMO, tho it's still kinda weird. (but she had a hohe~~ moment in the manga, so it's still the same Akari we all love < 3333)
We don't really get to see Alicia's life beyond ARIA company so the identity of her husband is totally irrelevant. What's important is the fact that everyone moved on with their lives, look at the title of the episode...
But damn, Alicia's retirement ceremony was so beautiful ;___; and the way Akari was pretending to be strong was seriously well animated and all, damn...
Seriously, this is the best ARIA episode. Really EPIC ending. Shame there will be only one more trip to Neo-Venezia, that's in June - when a bonus episode comes out with ORIGINATION DVD 3. No more new stress-relieving trips to Mars for me, though, looking on the bright side - there were 53 of them so far...

I'm adding you to my stalking list as ARIA junkie <_<
Now, time to rewatch EP 13 for the third time, this time - in (upscaled) 720p...
