Shuffle! is what you call a harem type anime. As some of them hinted, its a
story about a guy being surrounded by lots of girls. Think your main concerns
are those of storyline and character design. Suffle!, being a popular h-game
before being turned into an anime, scores high in those areas.
So, just hunt down those h-game to anime titles! Here's a list; Kimi ga Nozobu
no Eien, Futakoi (and all its sequels), Onegai Teacher, To Heart, Kanon, just to
name a few thats on the top of my head right now. Bewared that KGNE isnt
something you would call for 'light viewing'. Its heart-wreching for
most.
I dont recommend Ichigo100% even tho I once followed the manga closely. The
anime just turned it into crap. The characters got REALLY UGLY! A great harem
title that would be rivaling ichigo100% both in terms of manga sales and anime
popularity would be Suzuka. They actually dont butcher the characters just as
much as ichigo100% did in their transistion.
All time favs, I"s and Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. Current favs B-shock (just
cause its so ridulous thats it funny) and Homuculus. Mostly anything with an
intriging or in-depth plot suits my fancy.
Actually you'll need 2 </div> to end the first section if you're gonna do
multiple boxes. So, it'll look like this on your userpage customization
form..
Quote:
<h1>whoever's Guestbook</h1>
<h3>ORDERED BY DATE ASCENDING</h3> <-- First title header
text here <-- contentv </div></div> [i]<-- box
closure
<div class="outer "><div class="inner "> <-- start of new box
<h1>whoever's Guestbook</h1>
<h3>ORDERED BY DATE ASCENDING</h3>

Yep, fooblued's right. A lot of them are asking about how to vector but just
post crappy tutorial links. This sound be named "vectoring made easy"
or something.
Full moon wo sagashite. Saikano should be banned or something. Thats some really
depressing stuffs. Think I already replied to a similiar topic like this...
Really boring after a while, even in competitive play. Toss with their reaver
drops, zerg with their multa rush and terran with their tank/rine/medic
formations. Mostly old school rushes that people been acustomed to.
So much rush conditioning happens that when someone goes dt rush, hydra/lurk or
nuke rush (toss especially), you're pretty much screwed :P
Anyway, my fav's zerg. Usually called the god race of money maps due to their
spammable forces. Too bad thats their Archilles' heel too with their crappy
anti-air after the introduction of vals and corsairs
Even when other areas of science had considerable achievements, genetic has yet
to shown its true meaning. What they had found is that genetic differences from
one race to another is very minute. The difference for a member of that race
with a member of that same race however is very different.
So, as geneticists puts it "Human races dont exist. Only sligh varation in
genetic makeup". What are your views about age old concept of races and the
new humanity as just one species point of view?
Quote by Iz-chanYou make it sound bad
being gothic :O My opinion is that you have to
respect your parents but that also means they have to respect what you
like to do ^-^
Not really suprising that most parents generalized everything like that with
being bad. I know I would raise an eyebrow if I had a kid like that.
@SKITZ
Did you do something bad recently like drown the cat in the toilet bowl?
Probabaly just your parents having social pressure. Best way is still to talk to
them directly about your art interest. Explain logically to them about the
matter. Don't raise your voice and its home run from there. Talk some shit about
being tolerence in religon or something if they dont listen. Sounds like your
parents are religious, so worth the try.
Its funny that you'll see this type of activity everywhere, MMO games, work,
school and now MT. As night had mention, its only human nature. There's no
escaping stupidity. Its just something you should deal with in life.
Tho I do agree with the points said in this thread, there's little one can do
about it except maybe ignore and move on. I've already stomach this in every
online community I've been on. Wouldn't matter if its for another (this place
rocks too). It doesnt get less easier to bear with the annoyance, but you'll
learn patience soonr or later .
[/b]Some people been asking how to do
customizing of their userpages other than changing the background image. So, I
made up this tutorial. Its not too detailed on matters, but offers a little
explaination on how to do some basic editing to it.
[b]Introduction
First of all, I'm gonna begin telling you that it be wise to check up on some of
the CSS tutorials around the web and have some basic knowlegde on HTML. You may
want to load whatever colour codes and custom backgrounds first before
attempting to change the CSS settings. Since colour settings changes on your
options effect the CSS file. Any terms that you don't understand in the
tutorial, feel free to post your questions so I'll update the tutorial
accordingly. Lets continue further..
Editing the current CSS options
Since you do not have full access to the main CSS file itself, all editing are
done at your "Customize Userpage: Content" instead. Add these lines to
the TOP of your textarea field.
a {
font-family: Verdana;
color: #B0B8CB;
text-decoration: none;
}
}
-->
</style>
Just subtitute the above with a copy and paste from the CSS file. Remember,
custom tags requires that fullstop at the start. Thats the reason for the copy
and pasting, so life would be easier .
Viewing the CSS file
Lets check on the CSS responsible for your userpage shall we? Load up your
userpage, and view source. Right click -> View source. Find for a line
similiar to this one. It be one of the first few lines of the source file.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://www.minitokyo.net/css/?blue" />
This is the default line if you have not change your colour settings previously.
Else it'll end with something like ".../?custom=84599" />"
Copy that URL and paste it over on your browser and you'll be greeted with
" What's so interesting about this CSS file? xP". Good point. What's
so intereting? Plenty . Now
I'm going to break the tutorial according to each sub-header in the CSS file. So
just ctrl+f to the one you're interested in.
As I said above, copying is done here.
Keys and Dictionary
I'll be using certain scripting terms. Post up if you're unsure about a term and
I'll have it added in this section.
* - This is what we call a wildcard. I use it to subtitute text. Since most
sub-tags are pretty useless, i use it for refering those. (i.e. "p.*"
means "p.whatever")
Container Tag - Quite self explinanory. Its just a holding tag for people to
edit it easily.
Nonbound Classes
This is where all your aligning of your layout mainly occurs. You'll prolly
interested in text alignment tags and nothing else. Best way to screw your
userpage is by changing the values here. So, if you're a terrorist attacking
someone's userpage, read on...
.c - Aligns text to the center of the table cell. This is the center tag. Reason
why <p align="center"> doesn't work is because of this little
thing. So, use <p class="c"> instead.
.l - Aligns text to the left. Default text alignment is left, making this a
useless. See .c tag for usage.
.r - Aligns text to the right. See .c tag for usage.
.half - Table multipulation. Not used in default layout.
.wide - Table multipulation. Sets the size of the navbar.
.max - Table multipulation. Set the size taken up by the main content
tables.
.red - Whats this for? Beats me... Kinda useless IMO.
(I find the rest of the tags not useful unless you're planning to screw up your
userpage)
Root Elements
This is where the text control is. Seen those userpages with custom font sizes?
This is where they changed it at. Remember when I said to read up on CSS
tutorials? It helps here. Also another note, change the colour tags from
"Customize Userpage: Layout, Colours" if you're not used to CSS. Saves
a little headache in the long run.
h1 - Main title tag For content. The text that blends with the background in the
default theme.
h2 - Container. Best for custom titles since the default is set to align
center.
h3 - Sub-title tag for content. The smaller title text at the corner of each
cell.
h4 - Title tag for navbars. You know, the text that covers your nick,
'Submissions', 'Threads', 'Favorites', etc.
Inline Elements
a - Tag for all hyperlinks on the page.
a:hover - Tag for all hyperlinks to follow when a mouseover is
performed.
img - Tag that controls how images are decorated.
img.* - Not used.
span - Not used.
Block elements
This section controls all the main text functions in the content.
p - Covers everything <div> doesn't. You'll pretty much change this and
div together with the same values.
p.comment - Used mainly for quotes.
p.poll - Currently, polls are not activated for userpages. Not used as for
now.
div - Covers practically every single text
div.* - Yet to be defined. You can pretty much skip this.
Misc Elements
The minor stuffs goes here.
hr - Horizontal line breaker that seperates post and sig.
ul - Not used. Looks like a container tag for y'all to go crazy at.
Table Elements
STAY THE HADES AWAY FROM THIS!! Chances are that if you're gonna change this
part, you wouldn't need this tutorial (wonder why anyone would too).
Form Elements
Controls all forms, input buttons, radio checkboxes and etc. Since the only form
elements in your userpage is the search bar, guestbook entry and the sumbit
buttons, change this to your discretion.
Values used in Tags
You may want to learn what each line is for even if you're too lazy to check on
CSS tutorial (3rd time I'm saying this. *hint hint* go read some :P). This
covers the functions in default theme.
cursor: - Changes the cursor on mouseover. Not supported in non-IE browsers.
font-family: - As it says. The font type. Best to leave this alone as it covers
pretty much all the standard windows fonts.
font-size: - Font size.
font-weight: - Sets bold or normal text. Values are 'normal' and 'bold'.
text-align: - Text alignment. Values are 'left', 'center' and 'right'
color: - Text colour. Get a colour chart from google for reference.
letter-spacing: - Spacing in between letters.
top: - Adds that cool hovering text effect for h3 title tag.
Some things that are not covered in the default theme but worth mentioning.
font-style: - Sets font italics. Values are 'normal' and 'italics'
text-decoration: - Sets font style. Values are 'Blink', 'line-through', 'None',
'Overline', and 'Underline'
Scrollbar Colours
Here are the values for the scrollbar colours. I'll leave it up to you to mess
around with it. Remember, this only will show on IE.
Disadvantages of Changing the CSS File
-IE is too stupid to read another CSS file in a page to override the default one
(so I heard).
-Scrollbars options do not work on mozilla browsers, only IE.
-Blink is a mozilla only feature.
-Most people will hate you for changing the font sizes and screwing up their
screen since they use 1024x768 resolution (me too).
-Sometimes, some setting shows different on different browsers. Best to view it
in all to make sure its alright.
If you ever screw up your userpage...
No worries. A simple solution to it. Just delete everything in your
"Customize Userpage: Content" and click done. So kindly do not PM me
about how things work. I'm not a CSS guru. Just someone with too much time on
his hands to write this up...
Quote by tian82Can someone teach me on how
to change the word font on the left hand side menu in our userpage?
Quote by Sugasuga
i like to know how to do the scrollbar in the content. been trying to figure it
out @_@. do you know how to do it, exectric?
Both of these are done by overriding the default CSS MT uses for the page. You
must be adept with CSS to do so. I could write up a tutorial on it, tho it be
rather long. Problems comes with IE users too. IE only loads the first CSS it
sees thus skipping your hardwork.
My fav would certainly be Homunculus. Hideo Yamamoto really knows how to deliver
his seinen titles. Strange that my 2nd fav is glass mask. Contrasting genres...
Usage of fonts other than the default fonts that comes with windows for a text
documents is beyond me. Since the aim is for readability (is that even a word?)
not asthetics. So yea, graphic use only.
belbel: Looks really messy at first glance. Only when I leaned back and viewed
it as an overall pic that I find it pretty. The monotone of the entire page is a
great choice of colour. Very surreal feel to it. Nothing glares out too. Gonna
give a 9.8/10 even tho I liked your previous userpage better ^^
Shuffle! is what you call a harem type anime. As some of them hinted, its a story about a guy being surrounded by lots of girls. Think your main concerns are those of storyline and character design. Suffle!, being a popular h-game before being turned into an anime, scores high in those areas.

=P
Noir, the OST that started my Kajiura Yuki craze.
Actually you'll need 2 </div> to end the first section if you're gonna do multiple boxes. So, it'll look like this on your userpage customization form..
[/i]
Its easier to make your own custom brushes for things as common as clocks. Tons of stock pics for it available around the web.
I'm gonna miss peeing standing up. Damn...
Yep, fooblued's right. A lot of them are asking about how to vector but just post crappy tutorial links. This sound be named "vectoring made easy" or something.
Sorry Vicky, you'll need to upload the files somewhere before people can see it. Link them off your local harddrive just wouldn't do. Try imageshack.
Full moon wo sagashite. Saikano should be banned or something. Thats some really depressing stuffs. Think I already replied to a similiar topic like this...

h2 is a container tag. h5, and h6 are free for you do apply styles on them if you're worried about the IE problem.
I kinda like the sig I did for zaea. Much better than my own sig which I barely spent 5mins on.
Even when other areas of science had considerable achievements, genetic has yet to shown its true meaning. What they had found is that genetic differences from one race to another is very minute. The difference for a member of that race with a member of that same race however is very different.
Some articles on Genetic differences among races;
Genetic Differences in Races
Biology - Race and Religion
So, as geneticists puts it "Human races dont exist. Only sligh varation in genetic makeup". What are your views about age old concept of races and the new humanity as just one species point of view?
There's Adobe ImageReady (bundled with photoshop) and also Ulead GIF Animator. Can't seem to find a freeware/open source program for animation...
Man, my first thoughts were "Hell yea!". I feel so cheap right now... Realizing my integrity can be bought over with 3 million is depressing.
Not really suprising that most parents generalized everything like that with being bad. I know I would raise an eyebrow if I had a kid like that.
