For those of you who haven't been peeking around our site this week, take a note of our newest member Taltos (OMG! Another Saiyuki fangirl!)!! And our current junior member has been busy this past week, giving otakudom not one but two new [Saiyuki] articles. The are
The Color of Sin: Analyzing Gojyo/Hakkai and
Ni Jianyi And The Rabbit Prince.
Now, on with the show!
ryu6fw's works in progress:
- Ryu-chan is just finishing up the outline for an article he is calling "Shaman King: Fact or Fiction" and as you can guess will be an informational about what parts of the anime are real and which ones are not.
Taltos's works in progress:
- Right now she's working on finishing up a
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children article that's focusing on Kadaj and children.
Sangome Wilder’s works in progress:
- She'll be defending Regal Bryant from
Tales of Symphonia in an article that should appear sometime later this week.
- Taking on another character, this time in a character analysis of
Evangelion's Kaworu Nagisa, she plans on touching on some of the symbolism associated with the character.
- And she also wants to make a continuation of her "Differences Between the Hagane Anime and Manga" but this time focusing more on the story then the characters.
SunfallE’s works in progress:
- Her 2nd wallpaper themed collaboration with her friend, Mariskah, is coming along.
- Her article detailing the sword techniques used in the
Rurouni Kenshin series is in the process of being tweaked but should be up soon.
- She's also planning a
Howl's Moving Castle article that looks at the idea that when Howl gained Calcifer he lost the ability to grow up.
- Also, she plans to see if she can take the idea of how nothing is evil and only becomes that way through a series of choices and apply that to
Princess Monoke
Bellpickle's works in progress:
- She's made some headway on her article on L from
Death Note.
- And since our little globe trouter is heading to the Play! Video Game concert at the end of May, she'll be writting a report on that.
Shinkiro's personal works in progress are still the same but that's mostly due to the fact that she's been making loads of headway in the collaboration department:
- Her
Kimi wa Petto article is still in the pre-production stages but she expects to start on it very soon.
- Another article in the works and it will revolve around the philosophical lands of
Kimo’s Journey.
- She’s looking into doing two more comparitive articles: One will pit
12 Kingdoms against
Fushigi Yuugi while the other will compare
Otogizoushi and
Kaidoh Maru.
- Lastly, she’s starting up a couple of articles that will look at the history and evolution of anime and the most influential people of anime.
Katana's works in progress:
- Since her quiz is up all that’s left is the article part which may contain a spoiler warning so that people can’t know what questions lead to a certain answer because according to Katana “that’s no fun.”.The quiz will help fans come up with ideas for what they should try on their anime sites and the article will take those things and elaborate on them, discussing issues such as difficulty, amount of HTML skills needed, time, and, obviously, the ever hated question of: Bandwith.
- And since she recently got into Furba, there might be a
Fruits Basket article in her future.
Collaborations will be coming along easier thanks to big efforts by Shinkiro:
- Bellpickle and Katana are also looking into doing an ACEN 2006 report.
- Right now members are coming up with ideas on the subjects we'll tackle on the debate collab.
- A rough draft has been created for the Article Writing collab so this one should be appearing in the next couple of weeks.
- ryu6fw has started a collab idea based off Katana's "If It Were Anime" aricle.
- And since Sangome Wilder's enjoys defending characters, she's open the door for other member to defend other not-so-well-liked anime characters.
- Shinkiro's also heading up the creation of an article that lists the best anime galleries on the web.
Lastly, Ada Pallas will be taking a small hiatus for a bit, so her updates won't be appearing for a while. Hopefully, she'll be able to add some things to the collabs, but that's all she can do for the moment.
TTFN everyone!
