| Well, it will definitely make a story if the ANN comic gets a C&D notice... |

| Very cool! I was hosed for a loop though - I read too much manga, so I started reading it the wrong way... |

| I didn't really want to be the first dissenter since everyone else here is showering this thing with praise, but in all honestly, this webcomic is awful. It's not funny, it's poorly drawn, and it makes me feel kind of embarrassed that I'm a member of ANN's forum community. What is ANN now, Gaia Online with news, reviews, an anime encyclopedia, and more old people? |

| Another vote for "It's pretty bad." I'm no artist so I won't critique that aspect, but the writing is abysmal and is trying way too hard. |

If you want my honest opinion on this, while I do like the idea of ANN having its own webcomic, I didn't particularly like the comic. I don't think it was horrible (oh, I have seen MUCH worse webcomics), but it's not the high quality I was hoping for from one of the most popular and highly respected anime websites on the internet. I don't mind the artwork (could use improvement still), but the writing was just bad imo.

Dunno but you only ever come here now to be negative, criticize the site, our editorial, our news, and mostly anything I say (while being condescending about it), so I'm wondering why you think we should bother listening to you, Wolverine Princess? |

Cute character, and very funny bit with the raccoon/dragon kid. Good luck with the project. |

I doubt I could come up with a better answer to that question than you can. The only reason I'm here is because PantsGoblin asked me to come back after I left because of the Kodomo no Jikan drama; not out of my own free will. Ban me if you wish, I don't even care at this point. |

Okay doesn''t make sense here, what do you mean: not out of your own free will? Does that mean you were coerced into coming back onto the website? I'm sure also there's some other good things for you to do here besides hanging out in the Talkback section.
My opinion of the webcomic is I have no way to say whether it is in the good or the bad only. I think that it's for ANN to launch their own comic, and it is based on typical Japanese four panel manga. The downslide to it is that it doesn't give that reach out feeling to the reader, so I'm hoping that the next installments will see some improvements to appeal to me, and possibly others who hold the same reasoning as I do. |

Just leave it at that for now. She's a bit upset at the moment and may not be coming back for a while. If you want to ask her about something PM me, don't PM her. |

Webcomics... in my Anime News Network?
It's more likely than you think.
Nice. Also, maybe a bit too familiar. I've had friends who have done custom characters. I also have a friend who runs an anime prop company. I believe he's made a the sword from Berserk once too. |
