Hello everyone! My teammates, BigHeart711 and Sonata, and myself have some good news to report. Our little team wiki project is completed which only includes the episodes. For me, episodes are faster to complete than characters. Character pages are like swords which needs a lot of tempering.
The project began on July 7, 2012, and ended on September 16, 2012 as we finished the last episode's wiki page last Sunday. 12 weeks just gone by so fast for this series. My team and I are glad that it's over because of school and work are piling up.
| BigHeart711 is a down to earth guy across the Whiskey Media communities and still remain in contact with folks even after the Whiskey Media schism. He's a video game lover, movie conoisseur, and an anime fan all in one big package. He got me into this anime with his trailer blog. | |
| Sonata is a long time RPG veteran who is a big comic book, college football, and anime fan as well as an avid hentai viewer with a wider variety of tastes. Look at his list of watched H list which boasts the most seen H stuff in this community. His favorite anime includes heavy fan service genre such as Queen's Blade and Ikkitousen. |
Support: FoxxFireArt and Daniel Newton who helped us with names and formatting.
My teammates and I have a special blog to wrap up the series, so please check it out once we post it.
For Beginner Guide, I'll wait until a year or so to see if this anime gets a dub or a movie adaptation. Also, I have a cool idea for this series and its opposite series, Campione!, since Campione is a harem show with an Italian theme.
Sonata had a special job in this project, adding good fan art and making transparent PNG.
However, Daniel initiates a new image project where everyone is encouraged to make default images of 300 X 450 PX. Regardless, Sonata adapted to the change and made stellar character profile portraits for this project and other anime series.
I was in charge of episode work and weekly reports. With Sonata working on images, BigHeart711 is the one who created the pages for this project.
