Well, forgive me once more, but I was running out of options. Maybe you could recommend some anime to me?


I mean if you were gonna use the protagonist I don't think it's a huge problem to use a shot from the recent episode since it's not a particularly challenging pic and it's been almost a week, but also if you were gonna use the protagonist you could've just gone to an earlier episode rather than one that very recently came out

But I had reason for doing it this way. Think of it as keeping middle ground. I didn't want to make it too hard, but I didn't want to make it too obvious either.

It's from a currently airing show that's being fairly well received. It was never going to be hard.

4.) Profit!


Really?

*looks through Vaisaga's list*

*notices a particular anime rated as "Not really good."

*flips the table*

More like loss.

@Hikari14 Is @Calathan right? I think so, but please tell her for formality. Maybe she is waiting for your response before posting the next pic. We are derailing here.

Hey man, maybe you actually liked Imouto Paradise but that camera movement made it near unwatchable!

If you mean Toradora, the ending ruined it for me.

I haven't seen that show, but if Toradora is any indication then I should like it, right?.....

Shocked

...well, it was certainly something.

@#844903
The mini-game image should be an object or a memorable scene, not a character.

I thought I'm following this rule:
Quote:
3C. “Living things” within a picture are allowed, as long as they’re not major characters (or it is almost impossible to tell who the character is).

That rule means that if you have a hand holding up the object that's fine.

^ That just means that if someone is e.g. holding an object in their hands, then you don't have to worry about cropping that person out of the picture completely. However, the focus of the mini-game is always the object presented.

or, what Vaisaga said... Wink

I've actually been thinking. Are pics taken from openings or endings eligible for the mini-game (like scenery or something)? I faintly remember someone posting a pic of scenery taken from an opening or ending, and I also remember someone saying that it's a good idea for the mini-game. Am I misremembering that? Because if such pics are eligible for the mini-game then I might actually post a mini-game every now and then.

I disagree a bit. But I will change the pic in my post.
From what I understand, an inanimate object, a scenery, or a living thing is allowed, but with exceptions especially on a living thing. A living thing in the picture should not be a major character unless that major character is almost totally unrecognizable.
