@MadaraUchiha Unrelated to Pokemon, but to your name, I just found another reason to dislike Naruto completely.

Madara Uchiha

What's that? :P

Yuki

Apparently, that Hiraishin thing was invented by the Second Hokage.

Jin

hi

JNat

@Jin Hey

Madara Uchiha

That's right

← 4 messages moved from Kalos

Yuki

9:07 PM

So much for the "new generation surpassing the last" bull they were trying to push early in the series.

iKlsR

sigh

Madara Uchiha

← 1 message moved from Kalos

iKlsR

RWBY is glorious..

Madara Uchiha

@Yuki well, yeah, that much was realized much earlier actually :P

Yuki

@MadaraUchiha I know, but he's making it worse and worse.

Madara Uchiha

9:09 PM

Future generations are better than previous?

Madara wiped the floor with the 5 kages

And they're supposed to be the top of the generation.

Regardless of his regenerative zombie status, they couldn't even touch him unless he wanted to.

The Sage of Six Paths, which was the first generation, was a literal God

Yuki

I want to stop reading this series, but it's like watching a building being demolished.

Krazer

@Yuki in sloooooooow motion

Madara Uchiha

:P

I really wish SnK would be released more often

Or at the very least have longer chapters

:(

Yuki

Also... in an Anime/Manga chat room? Time to post random images.

iKlsR

@Yuki umm.. read the description. That's my job.

Q: What should our site design look like?

Keeping with the little note about "The Seven Essential Meta Questions of Every Beta", I thought I'd open the discussion about the graphical interface of our lovely anime/manga site! So, I suppose anyone with suggestions should post them on up! I'm sure the whole community would love to see all ...

it's time we talk about that

Madara Uchiha

Oooooo Heya @Jin Nice to see you here :

Jin

@MadaraUchiha hai

Krazer

Madara Uchiha

Let's see

@LoganM @Mysticial @JNat @JonLin @Eric @Krazer everyone here?

@Krazer Awesome!

Yuki

Not sure if it's been posted here yet, but IE has a new mascot:

►

Madara Uchiha

9:15 PM

Seems like no

@Jin could we schedule a chat meeting?

Jin

@MadaraUchiha I think it's better just to post ideas in that meta post for now

Madara Uchiha

I think a realtime chat thing is more appropriate when discussing design.

That works too though

I'll tidy it up and put it up as featured.

Jin

my initial idea: obviously the site should feature handdrawn anime-ish drawings, but the challenge is we can't really use any well known characters since they're copy righted.

2

Madara Uchiha

Yup

Jin

I do like the idea of having an anime.se mascot. so we can use that for future promotional work for the site

2

Madara Uchiha

9:19 PM

Alright, we'll see if we have a member with drawing skills willing to donate us a mascot character @Jin :)

I was waiting for someone to say that :P

Whaddaya say @Jin?

(I need to go for about 20 mins right now, hope you'll still be here, if not, we'll do our best regardless :P)

Jin

@MadaraUchiha I can't draw :(

Krazer

our past attempts at Sakamoto the firebreathing walrus:

Jun 9 at 5:37, by Krazer

iKlsR

@Jin Hrrm.. if I am following this right. Graduation-wise. Looking ok right?

Jin

I'll most likely commission a great anime art, once we finalize our ideas.

@iKlsR yes :)

iKlsR

@Krazer As @LoganM would say. Needs more moe.

Yuki

9:22 PM

I could ask my sister to draw something.

iKlsR

@Jin Sweet. :) Anything official on meta, can't see anything.

Jin

I did the same thing for the RPG site. I commissioned an artist for the header image once I had an idea of what I wanted.

Yuki

She's pretty good at anime-esque designs.

Jin

@iKlsR I normally don't make the meta post once I have a design ready to show.

@ton.yeung yes

@ton.yeung you can RP as a solider...

a solider who shoots RPGs

iKlsR

Hrmm.. Since we are tossing ideas around, I like Arqade's spaceship thingy. We should have something like that.. a windmill.. dunno?

Yuki

9:24 PM

Bookshelf?

Jin

i thinks this girl is really good: inma.deviantart.com/gallery

has a range of anime art styles

iKlsR

XD lmao.

Krazer

I wis thinking of making the page in the stile of a tankoubon with each section as panels

iKlsR

Yes, if @LoganM doesn't approve. It can't go up.

Jin

I also would like the main site to be fully rendered in color, and the meta.anime would be pencil outlined version.

like the rpg site

Krazer

9:26 PM

iKlsR

@Krazer Would love a mascot that we could have as a chibi for the icon.

@ton.yeung I just clicked on a user and went to their meta page..

JNat

@MadaraUchiha wut?

Jin

@ton.yeung I like your last name. it's the best

yes. well, i spell it "yang"

楊今朝

Krazer

@ton.yeung your name or her name?

Yuki

@Krazer Yes.

Krazer

9:36 PM

@ton.yeung send me the characters in your name?

JNat

I think we should be kinda careful with any characters we draw that may be very very very similar to known characters, not so much because of copyright and whatnot, but rather because I think it always looks lame to have characters that "are supposed to be" recognizable characters. Always looks kinda fake to me.

Logan M

@iKlsR Actually I was the one who suggested a fire-breathing walrus named Sakamoto.

Yuki

@ton.yeung Google Translate has a handwrite option now. You could probably use it to get the pronounciation.

Krazer

@ton.yeung Yáng for poplar

Yuki

Then again, considering the room, that's probably been done to death.

Mysticial

9:39 PM

@MadaraUchiha No we're not here.

Jin

anyways, i'm off to do some work. meanwhile, please post your ideas to that meta thread.

Mysticial

Wait...

Jin

a few things to consider:

Mysticial

Does this mean that we're graduating?

JNat

@Mysticial Looks like it!

Jin

9:39 PM

for the logo, it needs to be simple and clear, something we can use for site icon etc

Mysticial

Dammit. I don't have 10k yet.

Jin

@Mysticial yes

JNat

@Jin I actually think the logo @Krazer did was pretty good

Jin

@JNat which one?

JNat

@Jin Wait a sec

Krazer

9:40 PM

@ton.yeung Yang Xiaozong

JNat

A: What should our "unofficial" community name and logo or mascot be?

Here is my proposal for the community logo. I did it in the style of the Japanese mon (family emblems): This typographic logo uses the stylized kanji for 画:

Jin

@JNat that is really good!

@Krazer I'll use that if you don't mind and credit you for it. i may make minor tweaks to it

for example, the outer circle is evenly divided horizontally, i feel the bottom part should be higher.

it'd look closer to 画

JNat

@Jin True

Jin

but i really like the overall aesthetics of it, reminds me of Mon

JNat

@ton.yeung You can also like our page :P

Krazer

9:44 PM

@Jin I had other was I'd like to improve the ascetics into more of on Mon feel

I can't find my unicorn mascot concept

nm here it is:

in Social Page Content Discussion, Mar 13 at 13:10, by Krazer

JNat

@Krazer lol

Jin

btw, what's a good anime series to watch on netflix right now?

i've watched most of the good ones i think. Apple TV's Netflix client's search feature is rather bad

Krazer

@Jin What hanve you watch and what do you like?

Jin

the art styles i like are: Ninja Scroll, Cowboy Bepop, Afro Samurai, Vagabond etc.

Krazer

@Jin You can stream Gundam Build Fighters on YT

Jin

9:49 PM

more realistic type, not kawaii ones

@Krazer i've watched all the gundam series :) I'm the biggest gundam fan

I prefer series.

yeah i prefer completed ones

JNat

@Jin Vagabond is the best

Madara Uchiha

Back

@ton.yeung identification-request

Jin

I wish they kept up with Claymore anime.. and Gantz

Krazer

@ton.yeung Cuticle Detective Inaba?

Jin

those are the only 2 mangas i'm reading now

Madara Uchiha

9:53 PM

@Jin And yet you didn't ask/answer questions :(

Or did you? :P

Jin

@MadaraUchiha there are only 4 gundam questions on the site?

Madara Uchiha

@Jin And yet you didn't ask / answer questions :(

Jin

because i know all about gundams!

j/k

actually I'm more of a fan of gundam models than the series

Madara Uchiha

I cannot believe I didn't ask that question before

Krazer

@Jin How do you use Mr. Mark Softer and Mr. Mark Setter?

Jin

9:55 PM

@ton.yeung i tell most people new to gundam to watch the 8th mobile team first. it's short and the story is really good

@Krazer what?

JNat

@Jin I have a Zeta Gundam I won from Daisuki's launch campaign

Jin

@JNat master grade?

the one i have,(seen in my blog post) is the older MG. they released a new Master Grade

JNat

@Jin What's that?

Krazer

@Jin for decals

Jin

oh Mr. Mark Softer

i never used it really.

most of the modern decals are much higher quality than before, I don't see the need for it anymore

plus you put Mr. Topcoat over the decals after you're done

I'm a HUGE fan of this guy: youtube.com/user/vegeta8259/videos

Krazer

9:58 PM

@Jin ppl mention it's useful for non-flat surfaces

Jin

I love his WIP and Review videos of the kits.

Madara Uchiha

Heh

Jin

@Krazer hm that's true. I suppose you just drip the decals in the solution for a bit

Madara Uchiha

Alright

@Jin How do we progress from here?

I'll tidy up the "How should our site design look like?" and feature it.

JNat

@Jin nevermind, my box says Real Grade

Jin

10:00 PM

@MadaraUchiha well, you just keep practicing until your Gundam modeling skill is so wow.

2

Madara Uchiha

@Jin I can cast you into a world of dreams where your Gundam modeling skills are the best.

Jin

@MadaraUchiha I wish. I have so many kits I bought over the years. I'll never be able to finish them.

Madara Uchiha

@Jin Just relax, have a deep breath, and look into my eyes.

Jin

I still have 4-5 perfect grades that I don't dare to build yet, because my skills isn't as good as I want

@MadaraUchiha which eye?

Madara Uchiha

@Jin Doesn't matter, I already got you :)

@Krazer, @JNat you have company.

Jin

10:03 PM

@MadaraUchiha are you hitting on me?

JNat

@MadaraUchiha Wait... what?

I am under your genjutsu too?

Madara Uchiha

@JNat Did you ever think you weren't?

Krazer

@Jin Red Frame Astray? Strike Freedom?

JNat

@MadaraUchiha Why? I would willingly follow you. No need for genjutsu here

Jin

@Krazer Zeta, Mk2, Wing, Strike, Red Frame

Krazer

10:07 PM

@JNat Loyalty must be guaranteed, not willed!

JNat

@Krazer I guarantee it

Madara Uchiha

@JNat No, I guarantee it.

Mysticial

What did I miss?

JNat

@MadaraUchiha I see what you did there

@Mysticial Rambling

Madara Uchiha

Alright, let's had on to that meta post

Mysticial

10:10 PM

Dammit. NOOOOOOOOOO Don't graduate yet!!! MUST GET TO 10K FIRST!!!!

:)

Madara Uchiha

@Mysticial Better hurry :P

JNat

@Mysticial Lol, we believe in you

Madara Uchiha

We are

JNat

@ton.yeung Thus the conversation about our design

:)

Krazer

@Jin Astray Red Frame, totally worth it:

JNat

10:11 PM

@ton.yeung inorite

Krazer

Mysticial

I wish there way a way to like transfer some of my SO rep over to Anime.SE.

lol

Krazer

@Mysticial there is, but it involves lots of collusion

Logan M

@Mysticial Find someone willing to trade

(not technically legal, but you probably wouldn't get caught)

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM Probably wouldn't get caught? I beg the differ.

Jin

10:14 PM

@Krazer yeah. I have the MG version as well. I love it.

Logan M

@MadaraUchiha Depends on how much it happens. If it's a one-time thing it would be hard to catch.

Jin

my fav gundam is probably Gundam Ex-s Booster unit

Mysticial

Rep Laundaring. :D

Jin

one day... i shall have that.

Mysticial

@Jin That's a really small kid.

JNat

10:17 PM

@Jin wow

@Mysticial and lol

Madara Uchiha

We are graduating in 6-8 weeks! Affect the final design of the site by posting your ideas on this meta question!

9

Jin

gunjap.net/site/?p=86530

maybe one day, I shall drop $2000 for that kit, but not today...

Logan M

@MadaraUchiha I don't know if everyone here will get the "6-8 weeks" joke.

Jin

@ton.yeung yeah it's pretty much a brick kit, just like the master grade version.

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM Better? :)

Jin

10:20 PM

@ton.yeung means a big heavy kit with very little posablity

like the full armor unicorn gundam MG kit

Madara Uchiha

@ton.yeung On that day, I'll stop them all.

JNat

@MadaraUchiha Oh nice, MetaSO already has the new multicollider.

Hadn't seen it yet

Madara Uchiha

Me neither, really? :o

Nice!

@ton.yeung Imagine me inside of one of them suits :P

JNat

It was done very recently, unless I'm mistaken

I had been there earlier today and it still was using the old one

Logan M

@JNat They switched to the new one around the same time the podcast aired.

Madara Uchiha

10:24 PM

@ton.yeung No one said I wouldn't be using it as well :P

JNat

@LoganM I see

But it's only on Meta

SO still has the old one

Madara Uchiha

Yeah

iKlsR

Madara Uchiha

They always use meta as a pilot before adding it to the rest of the site

Logan M

Still sort of buggy. The dropdown only has some of the sites listed (not us yet). That could just be cached. There's also no main site link and no chat link.

Madara Uchiha

10:26 PM

@LoganM There is

It's in the drop down

iKlsR

I hope we graduate around the same time as the new SE. It will be like a new experience.

JNat

@LoganM We're the third or fourth from the top

iKlsR

wait.. WTF

Krazer

Android Gundam:

Logan M

@MadaraUchiha okay found it

Krazer

10:27 PM

JNat

@LoganM Also, the chat link is in the dropdown menu

Logan M

@JNat It's listed in the "all sites" list but it's not on my personal list of sites.

iKlsR

new meta.. I thought that wasn't due until about 6 - 8 weeks.

ugh.. I feel sick.

JNat

@LoganM Right, same here

Krazer

@iKlsR was it something you ate?

iKlsR

10:29 PM

my meta.so looks broken. only seeing my avatar.

JNat

@Krazer I'm guessing @iKlsR does not like the new design

iKlsR

header is too dark..

Logan M

@iKlsR There are a bunch of sites which have been planned to graduate for a while, and I'd assume we're behind them on the list. I know Salesforce and Graphic Design, and there might be others too.

iKlsR

lulz.. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions

No, it just became black for you.. on meta.so

@LoganM Yh. I know. Didn't think we'd be so soon.

I guess the new policy is in effect!

No more Math.SE in multicollider. Fuck yes!

Logan M

@iKlsR I'm honestly not sure we're ready to graduate, but OTOH the only possible negative change is that rep levels increase. If that's it that just means it'll be a bit more work for a while for those of us with >3k.

I do think we're still fairly low in terms of overall users, and our answer stats could use some work.

JNat

10:33 PM

@LoganM I think the new design that'll come along with graduating may be good in terms of attracting new users

Logan M

But graduating will probably help, or at least not hurt those

@JNat yeah I agree

JNat

@LoganM And new users will probably help the other stats

Krazer

@iKlsR the logo needs to be bigger

2

iKlsR

ha.

I feel good. No more math.se.. it's a good day.

Krazer

@JNat I think the badges should be lollipops so we can make jokes about collecting lolis

JNat

10:36 PM

@Krazer Ah, nice

Logan M

@iKlsR IIRC they're planning on putting the hot questions list on the sidebar somewhere.

Madara Uchiha

@Krazer lol, I'm vetoing that one.

JNat

@Krazer I have two gold lolis

:P

Madara Uchiha

Actually, I wanted 金 for gold

銀 for silver

But there's no single kanji for bronze :P

Unless there is and I'm not aware of it

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha 銅

Madara Uchiha

10:40 PM

That works

Though not exactly the same as bronze :P

(Copper != Bronze)

JNat

@Krazer I bet @LoganM would second this

Logan M

@MadaraUchiha 銅 is what they use for bronze medals in Japan.

@JNat yeah but already vetoed

Krazer

@LoganM veto can be overridden with enough votes

Logan M

@Krazer Okay count mine towards that.

Also, just realized I need almost 9k more rep if we're graduating or else I'll lose privileges. Looks like I have some work to do.

Krazer

If we could commision a piece I wonder who we can ask

Memor-X

10:48 PM

@ton.yeung why?

Madara Uchiha

Alright folks

I'm off to bed

Come up with ideas dammit! And post them on that meta post

3

Nightz :P

Krazer

@ton.yeung how familiar?

@MadaraUchiha o/

Memor-X

@ton.yeung i've no idea of the selection on Netflix but i'll suggest some

Krazer

Ouran High School Host Club, Clannad, Black Butler, School Rumble, xxxHolic, Ga Rei Zero, Soul Eater, Full Metal Panic, Dance in the Vampire Bund, Chobits, Baka and Test, Samurai Champloo, D.Gray-man, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Fruits Basket, Death Note, Sgt. Frog ... the list goes on~
