Now done. This is going to take awhile to get used to!

Hello everyone, Hope you're doing well! It's been a little while since we've had a major update - this was caused by many events in my personal life. I had been job seeking for several months, then found a new job 3 weeks ago and am finally settling into a normal routine again. So I got the color palette and wheel out and decided to do a major revamp of all the darker themes to make them more vibrant. I also took the opportunity to create some new themes, resulting in 12 new themes! Don't worry they're not all HDN ones. Anime Forums Planetarian ( new default! ) Using a revised colour palette from the Planeptune theme, this features the adorable robot, Yumemi Hoshino from the anime adapatation of Key title: Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet. Featuring vibrant purples, subtle greys and an accent of blue, this may even compel you to visit your nearest Planetarium! Anime Forums Hatsune Miku (KEI) Using a revised colour palette from the GITS: SAC theme, this is our very first Vocaloid theme, featuring Hatsune Miku! This is the illustration of Hatsune Miku by KEI which was also featured on the cover of the PS4 game: Hatsune Miku Project Diva X. A damn good and cute rhythm game, this got me hooked onto Vocaloids. Anime Forums Ordinal Scale Our first Sword Art Online theme, featuring a key visual for the upcoming Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale movie! This is using a series of vibrant greens. Anime Forums Attack on Titan Our first brown theme, this features the characters from Attack on Titan. Anime Forums Aokana Our first pink theme, this features the characters from Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue. Anime Forums Megadimension Neptunia VII A red theme based on Uzume and Neptune from the PS4 game. Anime Forums Puella Magi Madoka Magica A darker theme based on the characters from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The rest are variations using the above colour palettes: Anime Forums Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Anime Forums HDN: CPU Candidates Anime Forums Sailor Moon Crystal Anime Forums Sailor Moon Classic Anime Forums Ultimate Madoka and Homura Technical fixes: Background images on iOS and Android devices should no longer "jump" when scrolling down the page. This issue is caused by the address bar hiding on page load, and then reappearing when you scrolled down on both iOS and Android browsers. I've implemented a workaround that should resolve this. Special thanks to @Kohloo for helping to smash this issue together! Fixed alignment from left to center for member group/rank titles on forum posts and conversation messages. Fixed NEW indicator being misaligned when viewing new posts and conversation messages. Padding adjusted on all pages for consistency. Poll blocks also stretched to full width. To change themes click the theme on the lower left corner of the page or click here to go to the Theme Chooser. As usual any feedback would greatly be appreciated! Hopefully you'll find a theme you like!

I'm a little hyped, more Asuna is always good. Key visual looks great: And admittedly a bit hyped from the latest trailer: Yes, I think I'm getting more hyped.

Just an update the custom breadcrumbs have almost been done. More screenshot galleries have been moved: https://animeforums.net/screenshot-galleries/ Still a good number to go. I'm cautiously readding them and adding redirects as some of the older ones were already in Google-sama Image search. Good to see the gallery is working for you now. I haven't seen the TV series yet, nor have I seen StrikerS... should I?

As the founder of Anime Forums, when I see a member experience great memories with other members, it just makes me so happy. Even it was only for a short amount of time recently, I am happy to have discussed with you some currently airing anime, as well as HDN, among other things. @Bard, know at the bottom of my heart that you are ALWAYS welcome back to this community, the door is wide open for you.

This was a great episode featuring Rinne's past and learning why she is so cold now. Seeing Rinne so happy and genki was adorable! Especially towards her grandfather. Oh if only Rinne didn't meet those bullies... The three bullies that decided to target Rinne really made me feel uncomfortable. And seriously what's with the school's lack of response. The way the bullying escalated just seemed so excruciating, especially the showdown in the restroom. Depriving her of the ability to spend time with her grandfather's final moment - and those sound effects when Rinne took those bullies down. ... ehh but they deserved it. Wonder how Fu-chan will react now having learned the full circumstances behind Rinne's past. Even so, she shouldn't be so cold towards her lifelong childhood friend IMO. @Bard - this was a brutal episode and escalated quickly!!

An upcoming Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-off Action RPG game for PlayStation 4 using Unreal Engine 4. Most fluid and detailed HDN game yet? In this one Neptune and the usual CPUs are set within the fantasy world of Four Goddesses Online, the game that Vert plays a lot in the main story. Characters are of course all fantasy themed. I like Noire and Blanc's outfits the most: I assume these are either cutscenes or upclose special abilities, they look gorgeous: Really adorable looking cutscenes! Main gameplay looks OK: Dialogue scenes are sharp and beautiful as usual: Tsunako has really nailed it with the character designs I think! Hoping we'll get to see more screenshots and character designs of the CPU candidates. Release date is early February 2017 in Japan. Might consider pre-ordering it... @Bard @SanguineTear @Ryuji @Ryuzaki @Orius

We don't really celebrate Halloween much here in Australia, though I may take the opportunity to watch some horror anime. How about you? Are you doing anything for Halloween this year?

I had a look, neither Crunchroll nor FUNimation have Clannad due to licensing... Anime Network does but you need a $7 USD month subscription: http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Watch-Anime/Clannad Hulu also has it but again subscription needed too: http://www.hulu.com/clannad I personally took the plunge and bought the Blu-Ray sets for both Clannad and After Story from Amazon and would highly recommend it ... otherwise if you can't afford it then you may need to go through unofficial channels.

Sounds interesting. When does the first match start?

I would recommend F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) however the graphics haven't aged terribly well (2005 game) compared to the final third instalment (2011 game). Nice creepy supernatural horror, FPS. It mainly revolves around a really young girl with supernatural abilities that mutilates just about everything due to a cruel experiment. Very immersive and one of my most memorable game series.

Agreed. Second season in and we STILL don't know what truly is going through Asuka's mind and whether she is being malicious or genuine. I dare not look at the light novels.

I disapprove of burning Uni, @Bard >__> I currently hide all my desktop icons. Much prefer to see the wallpaper clearly, and also use it as a dumping ground for temporary files. I used to play this years ago during Burning Crusade - an addictive time sink!

Feel free to post photos of your bedroom. Bonus points for any anime/game merchandise. Just warning there is a small amount of Hyperdimension Neptunia merchandise in mine. Also those with a sharp eye will notice it's virtually all IKEA furniture. [spoiler=Bed] [spoiler=Desk] [spoiler=Corner and big wall scroll] [spoiler=Top of dresser drawers]

Noire from Hyperdimension Neptunia.

Not a huge fan of DLC. Much prefer to put it towards special or limited editions or even waiting later when the DLC is bundled after a title has been released or remastered. e.g. Valkyria Chronicles Remastered on the PS4.

What on earth does this acronym mean? I swear Nemurin was thinking the same thing. I could mail you some Tim Tams and Vegemite if you like. Also no-one is getting banned over this silly (but passionate) thread.

Wow, this is getting darker. I think I will definitely keep watching this, it was quite a good episode. Clearly Swim-Swim (what a strange name) felt some remorse for her plan in toppling Ruler with her teary eye. Though part of me hopes that Swim-Swim won't brutally target Snow White given the mercy she showed her as part of her plan. I admit I almost forgot about their non magical girl forms, and it's interesting how we're starting to see more of their normal human forms and backgrounds after initially seeing their debuts in their magical girl forms and avatars. Twin angels are annoying and I hope Souta is the one to finish them off. Tama is cute and shy, but clearly clearly sad with what happened to Ruler. Souta had some pretty badass sword abilities, though his dialogue is still a bit awkward. Yes, we get it. With your pledge you clearly love Snow White / Koyuki!

I liked the transformation scenes to ehm adult mode. Conveniently, Fuka-chan's assisted transformation results in her clothes tearing: They're so casual about it!! Except Fu-chan of course (understandably so). Am interested to see Fuka's proper transformation when she finally gets her device.

@senshikoi if I may ask, were you able to reach the bottom of the page or did your browser crash or become unresponsive? There are over 150 images in that Nanoha gallery.

My most favourite girl from that season is... Alisha Diphda from Tales of Zestiria the X! She has a heart of gold, was pretty badass at combat as a knight (despite being a princess) and above all - she has the most cutest expressions! I also like her outfit too.

Ah... those options in the Preferences actually belong to the older themes... on this new one I decided to disable sticky navbar and sidebar to improve the mobile experience. This is not included in this new framework but will look at re-adding it.

KyoAni (Kyoto Animaton) though they're the typical Key VisualArt style. Clannad has similar eyes. Should be fixed now. Can you check again now? Is it happening on the older or new style?
