War of the Forums

[mr_pikachu]

Blade: Yeah, apparently the bubbles could have been arranged better in #9. I'm going to be working on this in future pages... unfortunately, they're ones that won't be seen for awhile yet. >_<

I'm glad the quote in #10 made things better for you, though. And yeah, it was about time for Becca to make another appearance. ^_^

I hope you enjoy the pages to come!

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, that sequence of images really does make sense! You must have spent a lot of time finding the right ones.

[mr_pikachu]

Gabi:

Now I've got over 20 different images of some of the major players, and I'll be getting a lot more.

I wrote that upon completing #10. At this point, certain characters have more than four times that amount.

...Yeah, I've spent a bit of time on it. ^_^;;

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, where do you find all that time? Can I have some too? Please?

[Dark-San]

@Mr Pika~ Another brillant showcasing of your fanfic via pictures again. It does caught me that the last portion of #10 is exactly a scene from the Onegai Teacher episodes where Keisuke was dating one of his classmate. Though it exactly protray TML following Mega Horny.

@Gabi~ Sis, if you are looking for pictures you can just post over your request to me too.

[mr_pikachu]

Gabi: Who says I actually have time to do what I'm doing? ^_^;;


Dark: Kehehe, thanks! Yeah, that was when Mizuho was getting all stalky. Nice recognition!

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Holy crap, you go away for like 3 days and the whole board just expands like some rapidly expanding thing....ie.

Any way I like how the comic is coming along.

I have noticed a tiny bit of nudity has come into the comics.....(all things aside, back to the point) Its shaping up nicely.

And I also have a tingly to know what is going to happen to Mega Horny, PLEASE TELL US *CRYS*

[mr_pikachu]

CEB: Yeah, things are moving quickly, aren't they? I'm glad you like the developments. ^_^

I went a little further than normal in the "nudity" sense with #8 (even though nothing was shown), but that won't remain the case for the most part.

And you want to know what happens to MH, huh? Just be patient.

[darktyranitar]

Ah, so the awards has begin to take place. So, any chances that we'll be seeing the others nominees in the future chapters?

Hey, the story's is currently set at the fanfic forum, so will there be any venturing into others board? Say... the PCG planet?

Ah-ha, TML is behind MH trail! Wonder what the I Syndicate mercenary (most possibly Blademaster, but you still doesn't confirm his identity) will do/say when they meet.

[mr_pikachu]

Faiz: Yup, the Fanfic Awards are crazy! As for the other nominees... you'll see. ^_^;

Going to other planets, you ask? Well, I haven't made up my mind yet, to be honest. There are a couple of ideas going through my head, but I may end up just discarding them eventually. We'll see.

And yes, Becca's tailing our little friend. How will Mr. Mercenary deal with it? You'll see. (That's one of my favorite lines now...)


#11 is coming later today!

[Inferno_Dragon]

This issue is another good one especially since it has some funny lines like ... "If we stay here, you're gonna win the "Deadest Member" award, you idiot." and then there is "If you don't move RIGHT NOW, I'll kill you myself."

I am beginning to be attached to this story for some reason and I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next.

[Tyler and Hobbes]

IwillnotmissanymorechaptersIwillnotmissanymorechap ters....

But yeah. You've done a great job, and the last one was a perfect mesh of scenes. So, TML is trailing Mega Horny and (not-Blademaster, though really is)? Is that right, or was too much read into that scene? Looking forward to the rest, regardless. There's just something slightly... I don't know. I like it though.

[mr_pikachu]

Inferno: Hehe, glad you liked the one-liners! The mercenary/bodyguard is pretty good with that kind of stuff. ^_^

Oh, and that attachment you feel? Yeah, that's super glue. Enjoy!


fireguardian: Thanks! I was hoping the blend would work decently enough. It's hard to say if TML is actually tailing the two characters; regardless of that, she's found them now! Anyway, I hope you like the next one.

#11: Editing the last panel was tricky this time. That picture actually came from a calendar I found online, so I had to crop around the dates, titles, and other identifying marks that wouldn't have made any sense here.

By the way, finding unique pictures of Sasshi was a heck of a lot harder than I expected. Has no one watched Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi?

[classy_cat18]

Oh wow, I recognize the first two panels. Didn't Adult Swim show that episode last night? Anyway, the comic's coming along great.

Oh, and I've seen Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. Unfortunately, it's not a popular series and I watched it on TechTV.

[mr_pikachu]

Shonta: Yeah, they did just show it. How ironic is that?

And I guess Abenobashi just isn't well-known enough for most people to dedicate a gallery to it. That makes life difficult.

[Shadow Djinn]

Ah, I've been reading this since its start, but I don't really like replying. What I'd like to say has been said already, so I'll just mention something...

If you have trouble finding pictures, you can always just screencap them from episodes. Many animes (especially Bleach) are easy to find downloadable online, and you can get more precise poses that don't break from the background (or clothing) without having to dig through tons of sites that take screenshots.

Just a thought.

[mr_pikachu]

Shadow: Hey, thanks! Even if you're a silent reader, I'm still glad you're reading.

As for your idea, I thought of that. Unfortunately, there are two problems.

1. My college is very strict about downloading copyrighted material, and they track such activity. If I did that, I could be expelled.

2. I'd do that at home during the summer, but we have the worst internet connection I've ever used. To expound, after my parents go to bed, I plug into the phone line and use the dialup connection. That triples my connection speed... if the regular connection has had a particularly exceptional day. So trying to download anime there would be a hopeless effort.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. ^_^

[Shadow Djinn]

Egh, that would be problematic. I do download Bleach and Naruto along with others, so if you ever have trouble finding a specific frame or anything, you can PM me. (Basically, I have most of the popular animes.)

[darktyranitar]

Hehe, I like the title. Though I see no connection with this chapter. Ehehe ^^;;

Oh yeah, who was it that said "Oh Mega Hornyyyy"? Was it the mercenary, or someone else? 'Cause it'd sound like it was coming from TML who'd be glad to beat MH up.

Or maybe I misinterpreted that line.

[mr_pikachu]

Shadow: I may take you up on that offer at some point. For now, though, I think I can manage. Thanks!


Faiz: Well, the "connection" is the last line about getting a bonus. Heh. ^_^;;

The mercenary and MH, unfortunately, have been separated. So TML is a heck of a lot closer to Mega Horny than his guardian is.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Mr_Pikachu I could get some bleach episodes for you..........if you dont mind trying to DL them of windows messenger. Because at the moment my friends are going through a big bleach phase.

[Phoenixsong]

Le hm. I R bakk.

Aww, we won't be getting to see (not see) more of "Li'l Pika"? I am sad XD

The mob in this latest one confuses me a bit, but that might just be because I skimmed this in a feeble attempt to catch up. Bad Phoenix *smack on wrist*.

MH looks so... so much younger in that busy supermarket-whatever panel. But, as you said, you're having difficulty finding pictures, so it's excusable.

I had more to say, but I forgot it all and I really ought to be doing something important right now... like, "get your tail on it or you don't graduate high school you lazy bum" important. So I should stop now. I bid you a good evening, then.

[Saffire Persian]

Haha, younger? XDXD.. He's the same age throughout the anime series that the character's in. He does travel from dimension to dimension, so sometimes his appearances do change, but maybe he looks older 'cause of the trenchcoat? XD...

Anyway, um.. the 'mini-me' one made me "XD" very badly. That's not going to get out of my head for awhile. And the fanfiction awards are thickening. Who will win and who will lose, and who will get killed in the process?

[mr_pikachu]

CEB: Well, that'd probably be just as tricky as downloading them any other way. And besides, Bleach pictures have been the easiest ones for me to find, so it wouldn't do me as much good as getting some from other series.


Phoenixsong: Heh... you actually want to see more of Lil' Pika? o_o; The mob is all the people fleeing in terror from seeing it!

Mega Horny's age is actually the same in each of those pictures. His character does change sometimes, but not in that case.

And I hope things go well on your assignment! Good luck!


Saffire: Yeah, I think it was the trenchcoat this time. Good point.

And as for the Fanfic Awards results... you'll see. ^_^

[.hacker]

I'm currently enjoying the "manga", or whatever it is.

However, why can I not see #9 on my screen??? >_<

[mr_pikachu]

Sean: I'm glad you like this whatever-it-is!

And sometimes Imageshack gets annoying like that. I would attach the images to the posts themselves as an alternative, but their dimensions would be compressed such that the picture would be beyond recognition. I'll see what I can do.

[Dark-San]

Whoa Brian, so many people offering you their services in order for you to complete your fanfic. I guess you wouldn't be needing my help after all! ^.^

Also nice job on number 11, I am looking forward to how the mob mistreats Mega Horny and how would the mercenary or even TML saves him. And also about Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, sorry I can't help you with that either since I never heard of it before.

[mr_pikachu]

Dark:

And also about Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, sorry I can't help you with that either since I never heard of it before.

And you call yourself an OA mod? *shakes head sadly*

Yeah, a lot of people are offering to help out. The problem is, I'm not sure how willing I am to reveal major spoilers...

I'm glad you liked #11, as well. I think you'll find MH's fate... entertaining. ^_^

[Dark-San]

Dark:

And you call yourself an OA mod? *shakes head sadly*

Noo... it is just that there are a hundred of anime releases per year and with the time remaining, I could just watched that few better ones.

*Hides in a dark corner and stares at Brian with puppy eyes making whining noises*

-_-" Enough playing around, I was hoping for Mega Horny to get mutilated or with body parts being flung around by episode 12. Makes the story a hell lot more interesting.

[mr_pikachu]

Dark: Abenobashi's... pretty good... sort of... in its own way...

-_-" Enough playing around, I was hoping for Mega Horny to get mutilated or with body parts being flung around by episode 12. Makes the story a hell lot more interesting.

*stifles laughter*

[Blademaster]

Comic #11: I like how Cu... er... Ichigo magically changed his shirt in the third panel. Though, I kinda doubt TML would be so vocal in trailing MH - she's always struck me more as the 'silent killer' type.

What else... Oh, yeah, I totally agree with WotF-CuleX - the strain of carrying that huge-ass sword, being chased by angry mobs, and having to spend time as Mega Horny's bodyguard? Poor bastard should be getting a six-digit income for all that. 8.5/10

Overall score thus far: 7.72

You're getting closer to that perfect score, B-dog...

Oh, and one more thing.

-_-" Enough playing around, I was hoping for Mega Horny to get mutilated or with body parts being flung around by episode 12. Makes the story a hell lot more interesting.

Seconded.

[mr_pikachu]

Blade: Yeah, you're... supposed to ignore the wardrobe change, really. As for Becca trailing him... she's probably close enough that it's not really "trailing" any more. I mean, he's backed up against a wall in panel five!

And who's WotF-CuleX?

[Blademaster]

'War of the Forums' CuleX. You can play dumb and deny it as much as you want - there's NO WAY you're convincing me that that bumbling bodyguard with a huge sword, a mind about as sharp as a hard-boiled egg, a syndicate named after MY fic, and Mega Horny as his charge isn't me. I'm not THAT ignorant, you know.

[Phoenixsong]

...You're still pretty ignorant, though. XD

Eh, I knew MH was the same age (well, okay, I didn't, as I know nothing about that anime; I just sort of assumed it and didn't think about him actually BEING younger)... he just *looks* younger. Like, with the big, panicky Bambi-eyes.

The mob is people fleeing in terror from Lil'l Pika? Ah, that clarifies it. Although you never said I was in that mob. I don't even know if I have a part, so nyah. XP

As for the assignment... haha, yes, I'll be fine. I haven't actually presented it yet, but I'm more or less done. Now, to the reffings! Dun-duh-dah-dun! Away! *flies away*

[mr_pikachu]

Blade: So, you think your mind's as sharp as a hard-boiled egg? Talk about underconfidence.


Phoenixsong: Yeah, his expression changes pretty drastically based on the situation. In about a week, you'll know what I mean. ^_^

And do you have a part? Mwahaha... we shall see!

Anyway, I'm glad that real life is going well. Just don't get too distracted from TPM! Remember what's really important!


...I actually had to make a last-second edit to this page upon noticing that one of the graphics was slightly messed up. It's fixed now, so enjoy!

#12: Did I take the joke from #8 too far?

[darktyranitar]

Hehe, I can't believe mr_pika is still so eager to show how impressive his lil' Pika is. What does he have in his mind, hm? Tsk, tsk.

Mr. 'salute the flagpole'. XD

[mr_pikachu]

Faiz: Yeah, it's a wee bit foolish. Maybe there's a point to it, though.

...Then again, maybe not. ^_^;; And you liked the nickname, huh?

[Phoenixsong]

"Mr. Salute the Flagpole" is awesome, yes, but not as awesome as:

...Oh, wait. It's not quite as impressive now. Hang on a sec.

That is godly, my friend. Godly. A definite stretch on the decency meter, but hilarious as hell for sure. I mean, I know that was more or less the joke the entire time, but still... that one line... oh, lordy. I think I love you, mr_pika. I'm not sure I *love* Li'l Pika, but he sure deserves an honorable mention... or, perhaps, a salute. Ha, okay, I'm done now.

...I think I'm sigging that line. Seriously.

EDIT: An afterthought: wait... why does being embarrassed on national TPM television make Li'l Pika "impressive"? I am confused. I am also not certain that I really want to know the answer.

I'm done now. Really this time.

[mr_pikachu]

Phoenixsong: I'm not entirely sure how to respond to that... but you really liked that line, huh? Glad to see it. And yes, I noticed the new sig. Sweet! ^_^

As for your edit... no, you don't want to know.

[Blademaster]

Phoenix: Ignorance is bliss, haven't you heard?

Oh, and BTW, I think I can answer your editted question: As simply and cleanly as possible, embarrassment causes the heart to speed up; that causes blood flow to increase, which moves blood to certain parts of the body in greater quantities more quickly. Dare I say anymore?

Bri: ...Shut up.

Comic #12: Hrm... Looks like mr_pikachu and 'Mini-me' were AWOL this time. Not that I can blame Martin, Ada, and Gavin, though. And WotF-mr_pikachu's pleas for attention got me to laugh; shame I saw Phoenixsong's post somewhere else first and saw her sig, or it'd have been funnier. (subtly glares at her) 7/10

Overall rating thus far: 7.6

I'd say 'keep it up,' but you seem to be having some trouble doing that, so I'll just say see you when the next comic's up instead.
