  1. Hi @Nectar - a belated welcome to AF from me. Your signature image is very cute..
  2. Hi @TheAnimeTimes, a belated welcome to AF from me. Glad you like it! It's something I'd like to look into improving... That dropdown menu is getting very long after all.
  3. Welcome back @Sekkarou Just where have you been??!!

    Hi^w^

    Hi there @Fru , a belated welcome to Anime Forums from me! When you get a chance you should add a profile cover and profile background image.
  5. I love the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise and all the games. Megadimension Neptunia VII and Re;Birth 2 being my top favourites.. overall the difficulty can spike at strange points which requires some grinding for a few levels if you get stuck at a boss. Having said that I haven't played Re;Birth 2 for awhile. That level should be about right though for CFW Trick.. Who is in your party? Also you've got decent weapons/armor/accessories for your party?
  6. The new revamp is now finally live, please try our new dark Heiki theme! Report any issues/feedback - I will post an Announcement soon..

      You're so remarkable. Bravo, senpai.

  7. Sorry for the delay! I have finally finished the bulk of the revamp which includes new themes for both the Forums and Front Page which is now live. I will make an announcement tomorrow regarding the changes. Then can finally start on the Spring 2017 titles/threads!

      Thank you so much! I was looking forward to its return!

  10. I will make an official announcement later on this. From this point on: Creative Corner now requires at least 10 posts before you can post a new thread there - automatic restriction YouTube channels should be 1 thread per channel as a guideline Went through and added prefixes so you can filter threads by AMV, Projects, GFX, Texts and Music Also a new tab added on member profiles called "Creations" which lists each thread the member has made in "Creative Corner". With the Gallery (Fanworks) module decommissioned, we are encouraging better use of "Creative Corner" by highlighting it more.
  11. Hi @GreenEyes, I've moved this from Creative Corner as this is more of a Technology question. I'm not an artist but looking at the price of graphic tablets I really doubt you'll be able to get one for under $100 USD! Could you not just settle for a normal drawing pad and hook it up to your PC or laptop? The Wacom CTL490DW is $71 on Amazon for example... Maybe some other artists can give their thoughts.
  12. Hello everyone, The front pages will be offline within the next 2-3 days to FINALLY implement a revamp for our Blog and Anime pages (currently known as Reviews) AND implement the new theme for our Forums. Our upcoming revamp includes: A new dark, flat theme for the Forums Visual uplift of our Anime pages and front page Making the forums easier to use by reducing navigation clutter where possible New Guides to reflect the new theme within the Guidelines section The forums will continue to be available during this time. This revamp was actually meant to be finished prior to the Spring 2017 anime season commenced, hence why I haven't been able to participate in the anime discussion threads for this season. I will endeavour to get down to it after this revamp!
  13. Regrettably due to extended inactivity in this section, the dedicated Digimon / X-Evo section will be closed and all its threads moved to our general forums: Anime discussion moved to Title Discussion Manga topics moved to Manga/Light Novels Digimon Games moved to Gaming All the Digimon topics have also been tagged. Background The Digimon X-Evo section was created in response to a personal request by @iMon back in November 2015 due to technical issues arising from a forum upgrade: Unfortunately since these messages years ago, no new news has arised regarding the future of the Online Digimon project and many of the members that were redirected here have understandably moved on to dedicated Digimon communities. To those that were sent here from the Online Digimon / X-Evo community and are still visiting - thank you for your support and we do hope you continue to visit to discuss other anime titles in our friendly community. But unfortunately if you're looking for in-depth Digimon discussions including Role-Plays, it is probably best you look elsewhere - possibly With the Will forums.
  14. Profile covers are now back - head to your profile and click "Cover Editor. If you had one previously it has been re-added. ;)

  15. Apologies for the unexpected downtime - accidentally broke something. >_

  16. Looks pretty nifty! Which character/anime is that from?
  17. Hi @Andrew Harris , welcome to Anime Forums. I'm a huge fan of magical girl anime titles too - what are some of your favourites? Any thoughts on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha?
  18. Hello @Kittytehkat, welcome to Anime Forums. Hope you enjoy your stay here! Out of curiosity have you seen the anime for this one?
  19. Hi @Grungie, welcome to Anime Forums. You wouldn't happen to be the same Grungie from Dashing Forums would you.. ?
  20. Hello @Amber Tallant , First of all can I just say that's a really adorable Vivio avatar you have there? Nanoha is one of my most favourite franchises. To answer your question I think it's very unlikely you're going to be able to get permission from the original Japanese artists let alone get the licensing rights - at least from a small business point of view. Anime News Network has touched on this subject in the past with these very informative articles: All About Licensing http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2012-06-11?ann-edition=au The Law of Anime Parts I & II: Copyright and the Anime Fan http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2013-02-15/ Basically it's a copyright and licensing minefield. I think you would have much greater success if you just do commissions on Patreon or DeviantArt. At least on those platforms you can build your following and they can support you long-term. Hope this helps!
  21. Hello @zoop , thanks for the detailed feedback regarding the Featured Threads. I admit this is my fault on this one - due to the recent hiatus I had from my end due to work and RL commitments. Indeed the nature of forums makes it easy for threads to quickly become buried past the first page - especially on busy forums. I do agree on keeping the Featured Threads fresh but also with evergreen long-lasting topics that are easy for both new and existing members to join in at anytime. An extra strategy I'm aiming for long term is to also add the Featured Threads into a regular fortnightly email newsletter. I will definitely review the Featured Threads after the revamp. Interesting idea - but currently not easy to do without custom development.. though we could instead make a new page with maybe three columns and display boxes, each box could display 5 latest threads for each forum section.
  22. Hello @zoop, thank you for the detailed feedback. We have definitely been getting a lot of people dropping by just to advertise. Indeed we have been quite laid-back - though anything commercial such as advertising relating to online merchandise shops are quickly removed. For now I have done this: And I've also have added another recent post box to separate the anime discussion threads so this should help. Longer term I will need to think about this one, still in the midst of the revamp. At this stage though I feel locking Creative Corner until you reach a least 10 posts would be reasonable. Could also look at either adding a subforum strictly for channels, or using thread prefixes which would at least allow you to filter them out.
  23. Green Heart / Vert is nice to look at and her attacks are definitely very elegant but her CPU transformation you have to admit is just a ball of fan service. D. Gray-man has been on my to watch list for a long time as Lenalee's elegant attacks caught my attention... then I forgot the name of the title until you brought it up.
  24. The off-topic crossover battle posts have been moved to a new thread - please keep this on-topic. Thank you.
  25. Hello everyone, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to our newest members and also a BIG thank you to the members and staff that continue to visit Anime Forums. I've been absent the last few weeks due to some pressing issues at work - thankfully not stressful but VERY time consuming. On top of that I am also undertaking more studies on top of my existing Japanese self-study. This has resulted in less time for me to dedicate to AF - especially the currently airing title discussion threads. For those that have messaged me and tagged me - I am REALLY SORRY I haven't got back to you!! The good news is I should have more time by the end of this week - there are several projects, anime discussion threads and articles I will be diving into on both the front website and forums. Am also working on a new theme... as well as catching up on my alerts which is now at 64...
