like this ? (:
There's a "bevel and emboss" in this one, right? It's better than the one without a border, but I kinda imagined just a simple 2-3 px border. Could you make such a variant also, please? :sweatdrop

O.K. that one looks better. No need for any borders anymore.

And what happened to the Impressions, cez? :shifty

Sorry for not keeping in touch all that much. I've been a little busy, though I haven't been posting that much since one, '1liners that do not really contribute to the effort of writing the reviews' - (benelori) will be deleted anyway, and two, I really don't know where to butt in so I can help. XD

Elbows out? Check.
Adrenalin rosh? Check.
Some candy in a bowl ahead? Check.
Lock target? Check.

Now all you have to do, is swing around those elbows, hit down your opponents, just reach it, no matter what it takes!!

Ok, kidding :p
But not kidding about the point of the above though, just throw something out, finished or unfinished ideas, or even just brainstorming :)
It's like having your own thoughts in your own head, making up ideas, but here as a team, we need to think like one.

For example if anyone would like to do Impressions, but sitting on it, you'll have to let everyone else know that you feel like doing it :)

I don't have much time lately, and of course I burned down my computer last night (was a nice camp fire though :teehee), but if no one wants to do it, then I'll get it done soon when I find little time :)
So it will get done, but I'm curious about what you girls & guys feel?

Alrighty, wrote Kisame a PM, hopefully he'll be around soon :)
If he's not, I'll do the last part for this week.
If there is any volunteers, then that fine as well, but lets wait another 2 days and see if he comes about.

He still has 3 hours and 13 minute :p

Sweet, looking forward to see it :)
Any thoughts on how you will merge it?
Was thinking if it's written slighthly in sections, the process could be easier, but also not so much that the reader will notice the sections.

Think you can have it done tomorrow?

16th March - Two Complete Inpressions
17th March - Merging the two Impressions completed.
18th March - Finish touch on the D.Gray-Man review (Release date - deadline).

So if all goes well, we can post it in the D.Gray-Man section in 3 days :)

As for who will post the review and receive all the "Thanks" and "Likes" I think it should be one of you three.
Next week it will be another, and so forth on cycle basis.

Anyone who wants to go first? or doesn't mind to wait a week or two?
If no objections, we'll make a list so we always know who will post ahead of time :)

Hold it!

There is no reason to write two full impressions. The OP said two impressions because otherwise one person would be left without any section at all.

I'm not against writing two impressions, but only if it won't cause unnecesarry troubles. :sweatdrop

hmm, it's pretty hard to merge it othervice though.
Would either have to organize who writes what, or both write a full impressions and take half half of both works into one.
That or only one person writes it, unless I'm missing a technique.

If one enjoys writing, but don't mind that only half goes public, then it's all good (assuming one enjoys writing).
Which is what I asked for, if anyone enjoys writing and wants it this week :)

Would only assign one for the task if no one enjoy writing it, and that would probably be me since that section is under my responsibility.
I'm allowing it due to the fun and teamwork.

Hope that helps shedding light on the situation :)

You all have a point now that I think of it. And besides, I was stuck looking for gun parts(with my father sitting right beside me and pointing at all the nice shiny night force zero stop thingies I hardly understand) for the whole night during my free time yesterday. And today, I got really busy. I was going to rush my version of the impressions after checking up here, but since this came up, I guess problem solved. :derp

Niko can do the honors of going first. :super

I'll go "Now is not the time" - (Tyrande Whisperwind), for I am still stuck searching for 4 more gun parts.

Lol-ing, at the reference.

Can someone explain me why there's no impressions, and more importantly, WHO is writing the impressions?



Full of f*ck, my brain is :yoda

We need clear answers, so you don't have to guess what someoe means when posting :super

Not gonna mention names, it applies to everyone, including me, we need to be more clear with our words for efficient teamwork. Just a minor but important detail :amuse

I'm assuming Anon is out this week, so there is Niko's Impressions left. Which means we won't have to merge them.
But once this review is over, we need to discuss how we make the next one, before we start :^_^

Niko said:
This chapter was good, but, once again she completly forgot Lavi. I know she wanna show us everything about the Kanda-Allen-Johnny thing and Allen-Mana-14th relationship but, why the 3rd most popular character isn’t appearing?

Well, the art once again looks really good, looks like since chapter 205 Hoshino gets a new art style and it’s getting awesome in every single chapter.

The storyline was interesting, we finally sees Mana’s face that we Always have seen like an freak crazy clown -scared-, Allen once again cries a lot and made my heart broken :/ Johnny really showed how a best friend is like and when Kanda came with his dirty little Alma secret seemed a little yaoi to me xD but, I guess is Hoshino pleasing fanbases haha We didn’t saw the apo-kun –just in allen’s flashback- and I was hoping him to catch the Kanda group and fight with him. D:
The cliffhanger was the bad thing, I mean, HOW I AM SUPPOSED TO WAIT TWO MONTHS TO SEE HOW IT WILL BE? Damn Hoshino, I don’t know why you like to make us suffer like this every single month! T_T

I was hoping a little more fighting but, in the whole thing, I liked the chapter.
So as it stands, we need to correct language and typo's, and we're reaching the goal line.

There are two ways to do this the way I see it, either we each take on a color and correct the language and typo's ourselves, and then together take a look on each corrections, putting it together (slow version).
The speedy version on the other hand, we select someone from the team to do the typo's and language.

It could for example be that a good "story teller" corrects language, and one who is good with English checks the spellings and context.

Will post more tonight, if anyone have suggestions or voluntere for these jobs, let me know :)

Sure, proofreading is good, but spending more time on the details than the actual review is a bad idea. IMHO, the whole review should be put together, someone (Cez?) should make a quick rundown, correct the most obvious typos, (forget everything about re-writing) and than post the final review. We've passed the original deadline already a week ago. We can improve our techniques next review.

Agreed. This one is like an experiment because i think no one had never done it before, so the next one will be better (:

Just a little tired of this, you have to walk a fine line between teamwork and management, which is a very difficult thing -_-
It's much easier to just be direct and force people, afterall. But then, where is the teamwork?
Teamwork is what this is all about, removing the teamwork, then where is the team?

Anyhow, I'll put it together then.
