@finaldasa:

I started the "Points of Interest" thing because I thought "Trivia" is overused. I just use that to point out little details about the episode that are interesting. That's where I always touch on any of the manga to anime differences.

@Daniel_Newton:

I'm quite happy with the format I've been using. With long running series like ONE PIECE and NARUTO, I like to begin the page with the name of the story arc. I add (Filler) in case the episode is non-canon events. This is an example on ONE PIECE Ep. 517. That is the official summary from FUNimation. It just needs to be put in quotes.

I've actually been putting Opening & Ending Themes together instead of putting Ending Theme after the synopsis. There's really no reason for separating them.

I don't see a reason to have a preview of next week when these pages are previews in themselves. If people want a preview for the next episode, they go to the next episode page.

@sickVisionz:

I've been using those DELETE pages for making new series in place of starting some pages from scratch.

@Phoenix_Wright: @EganTheVile1:

I wrote up a news blog talking about it's possible return

News Blog: Toonami to Return on Cartoon Network?? http://www.animevice.com/profile/foxxfireart/toonami-to-return-on-cartoon-network/107-8974/

@sickVisionz: @Daniel_Newton:

We are seeing the downside of creating sites based on the personalities. When all the original personalities are gone, you lose what attached people to the site.

I think they made a big mistake over on Screened. They should of introduced the new guys while Rorie was still there. By Rorie leaving then introducing new people. They are basically playing the role of step-parents to a bunch of ticked off users. A lot of people left and don't want to give the new people a chance, because they were invested emotionally with the staff they knew. There is no attachment to these new people.

Having Rorie there while the new writers were getting known, the users would have been much more open to give the new people a chance. Then once they got to know them there would be a chance for Rorie to leave will less stress.

It's probably the same when Gia and John left Anime Vice. (I was not an Anime Vice user back then) The site personalities are like the keystones in the communities.

The thing about this is that when those two were gone, users such as myself and Sora started submitting articles of our own. I had been submitting articles even while Gia and John were still here, and Sora was the one who revived the Quick Picks segment in article form. Then other mods and a few users joined in. Tom followed soon after. Me and the mods submitting articles were know well by the user base. They didn't kick out Gia and John and get replaced by a much of people who no one knew.

I know I wouldn't be happy at all to not be able to submit anymore news or editorials. I really enjoy doing that. I'd be doing it more if I could.

Seeing how so many other forums and websites get filled with nothing but snark and anger. I thought February would be a good opportunity to prove that the forums in the Whiskey brands were made of better stuff and people. This is sort of inspired by the "Whats Going Through Your Mind Right Now" forum. This forum is dedicated for nothing but declaring your love for all the things you appreciate or generally care for.

RULES:

• When ever love fills your heart for anything or anyone. Post a comment on this forum to let other users know. Even if you just had a really good ham sandwich. If it makes you happy, share it.
• No negative comments. This is a forum about love.
• Every post must begin with either "I love" or "I like". You're free to wax poetic from there on.
• Post as many times as you like. We can never have enough love.

I'll start things off -- in no particular order

I love my books, I love cooking for my family on the holidays, I love the Whiskey Media sites, I love orange juice with pretzels, I love my mom, I love history, I love the Kindle Fire I got for Christmas and the digital comics I can buy, I love all the manga I recently bought, and I love all the people who post in this forum!!!

Now, it's your turn!! Who or what do you love, right now?

@Novai:

Glad you're enjoying the anime. Nick and I cover each episode in the news articles for our front news page. You're always welcome to join in on the conversation.

@KuroNekoXIII:

That's not a very dramatic picture, but it's done.

@acarter:

This forum didn't need to be in Battles. I've instead moved this to the One Piece franchise forums.

@LuffyDUzumaki:

Are you kidding? The fact he looks so much like Tim Curry makes me love Ivan even more. Rocky Horror is awesome.

While we prefer to have good quality images. Low quality pictures can be fine. Just try to make sure they are of descent size. Something that's 30 pixels wide doesn't really help anyone.

The only hard fast rules Anime Vice has about images is that we don't permit nudity or images of graphic sexual acts.

@sickVisionz:

Try reading the thread again for the word "Question" I put in bold twice.

@sickVisionz:

Yes, the discussion about VIZ's publishing and editing practices must have been rather misplaced in a forum discussing an interview with a editor of VIZ and their online distribution futures.

@ZombiePie:

That would make sense if VIZ wasn't already publishing the same series twice in different formats. They are publishing what they call the VIZ Big series. Basically three volumes of the regular manga in one larger version. That would be the perfect opportunity to produce a an uncut version of the manga in a different format, but it's just the same censored version in a different package. They already know there is a market out there for uncut versions of the anime. They distribute two different version of the anime.

If they were producing to the demands of the audience, scanlations wouldn't be such a problem for them. I know a lot of scan sites that dropped series published by Yen Press and Kodansha, because they saw these companies doing authentic versions of the series.

VIZ can't say they don't want users to read scanlations when they refuse to put out a product that meets the scans for authenticity. Not long ago in Naruto, VIZ painted out a cigarette and lighter from the mouth and hands of Shikamaru. It looked idiotic to show the character on the page making the motions of lighting a cigarette with nothing in his hands and mouth. This was suppose to be a touching scene of him saying goodbye to his chain smoking teacher, but they made it into this ridiculous scene that made no sense.

In my favorite manga series, Detective Conan; they changed all the names of the characters to Europeans. It's a series that takes place in Tokyo, but none of the protagonists are even Japanese by the way it's published in the US. I've even seen translation errors. It's a murder mystery series that gets the evidence wrong.

@ZombiePie:

That's your assumption. Quite frequently I see Kodansha manga outselling VIZ in best sellers lists. VIZ is the only publisher that continues this level of censorship and alteration of the original content. It wasn't that long ago VIZ had layoffs. I haven't seen any of that from the other manga publishers.

Fullmetal Alchemists is coming to an end in the US. The Naruto manga also looks to be winding down to a finale not far off. When those two end, VIZ will be taking a major hit. They just publish a lot of book and once, some of them poorly.
