It would go more or less like this:

(I can't make a proper banner right now so have a sign I made a while ago, just until I get my pc back) One of the greatest joys of using a forum is undoubtedly having a pretty signature and/or avatar to show off. Thinking that, I decided to create the Signatures Hub, a place where people can share their works, tutorials - as well as those that do not belong to them, as long as proper credits are given to the creators -, resources and tips. In addition, everyone is free to ask for a signature/avatar, I'm sure someone will take your request and make a really great one. For those who make signatures and avatars not for their use, but just because you enjoy doing so, you can drop them here for people to pick them up. This was something I did on a forum years ago, and I think it'll work well here too. People who want to learn how to make signatures can ask for opinions on their works and help with improving, also possibly taking requests once their confidence has build up enough for it. Please, keep in mind the avatar and signature rules we have on the forums. No explicit nudity (genitalia and female nipples are in this category) No pornography (this includes implied sexual acts and bodily fluids) No gore (disembowelment, dismemberment, torture, etc.) No offensive content (profanity, hate speech, offensive symbolism, etc.) No seizure inducing GIFs (or GIFs that make people's eyes bleed in general) No signatures exceeding 400 Kbs in filesize Lexicon As we have discussions about the works posted here, I found it relevant to add a lexicon for those who are interested in learning and don't know what is being said. Also, please check it before making a request as "Render" is word whose meaning is fairly unknown when it comes to signatures and alike. To make things more organized and easier, if you want to make a request, please use the following model: Request: (Signature and/or Avatar) Character: (Specify where the character is from) Render: (If you already have a chosen one) Typography: (What you want written in it, the text) Other: (Anything else you may want to say/ask) Meogii and Kurokusari have their own threads where they accept requests, so if you want something specifically from them, you can leave a comment there or send them a PM.

Did you think the band creation activity was the only trick I had planned up my sleeve? Not a chance... Welcome to Fuwanovel's Musical Trivia! The Objective: How smart are you when it comes to music from visual novels and anime? Think you got what it takes to be the top dog and claim the title of musical genius here on Fuwanovel? Let the members themselves decide! The goal of the game is simple: answer as many questions about visual novel/anime musical trivia as you can. With a total of 60 different pieces of music to listen to, this event will surely test your knowledge about OSTs and hit singles. Here's the twist though: I am not creating the questions. That's right, you the users get to make the quiz this time around; I am merely the man who will host it. Got what it takes? How it Works: Over the course of the next 2 weeks, users from Fuwanovel will be allowed to send me a list of songs or jingles from both visual novels and anime via PM that they wish to have featured in a massive 60 question musical trivia quiz. All you need to do as the users is message me with the following items: An mp3 or downloadable format of the song(s) and/or jingle(s) in question (YouTube video links also work). These pieces of music can be from a visual novel or an anime A message stating what segment I should use from the song(s) and/or jingle(s) in question (i.e. = 3:41 - 4:05) Segments from each piece of music should be no shorter than 15 seconds and no longer than 30 seconds. You are allowed to send as many songs and/or jingles as you'd like via PM. In addition, should you want to send more pieces of music in the future, you are able to do so by sending more in the same PM. In 2 weeks time, the cutoff will occur and I will begin compiling the final music quiz. Past participants of the /index.php?/topic/5965-visual-novel-trivia-month/?hl=visual+novel+trivia">visual novel trivia month thread will know exactly what to expect for this quiz. Depending on the number of total entries I get, I may or may not select all of the music you send me. As such, you should list them in order of importance should I have the need to cut some. When I compile the final quiz by cutting the segments and hosting them on my Mixcloud account, I will be sure to evenly distribute the amount of entries from each person that submitted at least 1 piece of music. This way, everyone will start out with the same fair advantage should any questions already be known to them. If I need to fill in additional questions, I will choose them myself. For now, send your entries and make sure to properly label your PM. More details will be posted in the coming week. Good luck, and enjoy some music to celebrate!

Why not? It's the perfect game for 12 year old French girls.

Two things... monocle and top hat.

These fools know nothing about the way of a woman's heart! First get a leather jacket, slap that shit on! Grab your boom box and ride your bike with training wheels over to her house in the middle of the night while her and her parents are sleeping. Then play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmebxaJYk0Q while holding the boom box over your head after throwing a total of 3 rocks at her window on the second floor. Now that you have her attention read some poetry! Chicks love poetry! "Roses are red, violets are blue, so too will be your vagina, after I'm done with you!" Now things are starting to heat up, and she looks completely speechless so you know you're on a roll! She runs back inside because she is obviously shy and It looks like her parents woke up and are shouting into the phone. It might be your imagination but you can almost hear police sirens getting closer. There must be a lunatic out there, so best head home for now. Next day at school is the big day, that's when you seal the deal by swag walking up to her with your hands in your pockets (most important part, NEVER take your hands out of your pockets or your cool level will instantly decrease and your reputation as a badass will be officially shot down!), she looks kinda nervous but that's where the next part comes into play. Then you confess your true love through the power of dance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg5BQByrHS8 A man who can put his reputation and heart on the line by breakdancing in front a girl proves he is willing to go to extraordinary lengths in the name of love! Now finish with a sparkling smile and manly expression, toss her a small piece of paper with your gaia online account written on it, depicting your avatar as a half human, half vampire, part demon, part angel/werewolf, named xxSephiroth'sxxdarknessxx360noscopexxx, as you slowly turn and walk into the sunset playing linkin park on your ipod with the volume turned up loud enough for everyone else to hear.

Wait, why are multiple people playing ikikoi? Are you guys okay? Is there someone with a gun behind you? Or are you being paid money for doing this?

Typography: Tear of the Moon Other: Add lots of purple sparklies or something I know Kurokusari said they would make something for you, but I just wanted to try my hand at it. Just for fun. If you would rather wait for Kurokusari to make one for you, though, that's fine. I'm always nervous about making things for other people. I know what I like, but not always what they like. But I try.

I'm more used to 600x200 so I'll just say that I'd agree with this change, I know things will remain the same but just making a statement.

So this is yet to be called spamming? I do try to keep my posts filled with something other than my mindless stupidity. I won't ask you to name one since that might be offensive so I'll just keep an eye out. To make people say that they have enough internet for the day:

My Top 10 Cyclops Pick-Up Lines: 1. Hey, baby, you're the one eye adore. 2. Did you spot this sexy man walk in with your little eye? *flexes dramatically* 3. My eyes burn for your eye. 4. I've been looking at your eye all night long. 5. Do you have a map? I seem to have gotten lost in your eye. 6. I think you have something in your eye. It looks like the reflection of some hunky guy who craves your affection...wait, that's me! 7. Your eye is a gateway to another world that I want to join. 8. Making eye contact with you has made my day. 9. Your eye lights up my world like a thousand suns. 10. I think God took a brown topaz gem and made your eye out of it.

You can't go wrong with the 3-step formula. From my years of experience of playing moege, I know that all meaningful relationships must: 1) Start with an embarrassing accident 2) Have a donkan and decently attractive1 protag 3) Include cherry blossoms somewhere in the background Strategically speaking, my first move would be to 'accidentally' smack her in the eye, thus sending her to the hospital. She would then get an eye patch while she recovered - this kills two birds with one stone: if on the off-chance you're really ugly, then she wouldn't be able to tell with the eye patch over her only eye1 (this will also give her a chuu2 look, which is +5 badass points). Anyway, since she is now visually-impaired while she recovers, she will obviously need assistance with everyday things such as walking and eating. Naturally, you volunteer to assist her because the incident was your fault in the first place. This allows you to maximize your time together with her (whether she likes it or not) and lets you hold her hand while you help her walk. I know this is an ingenious strategy, but please, hold your applause until the end. Now that we have the embarrassing accident and attractiveness out of the way, we need to work on our donkan. You need to be clueless - and I mean really oblivious. If she starts to make romantic advances towards you, the worst thing you could do is notice right away. A professional donkan protag would never realize the heroine's feelings that quickly, if at all. Think of her as a friend for as long as possible (preferably wait until your osananajimi stops waking you up in the morning, because that's when you know for sure that you're on the Sachi route. Rule #8 of moege: all other heroines magically disappear when you're actually on a route). This allows her to fall even deeper in love with you, which ensures a long, lasting relationship. Oh, and you have to make indirect remarks about her disappointing chest size whenever you get the opportunity. This will make her more self-conscious around you, and suggest to her that you are actually noticing her. Even if you're jeering at her flat chest, heroines long for nothing more than to be noticed by senpai. At this point, you are finally ready for the confession. However, if it is not currently springtime for you, then that is rather unfortunate. You must wait until the cherry blossoms bloom in spring before you confess. Not only will this maximize the chances of your confession succeeding, but it will make it all the more memorable. It is scientifically-proven that confessions that take place under cherry blossom trees results in longer relationships 82.7% of the time (based on a small sample size).

What's so special about a birthday, it's just like any other day, everyday is just a day. Christmas? Just a day. Easter? Just a day. Mother/Father day? Just a day. Earth day? Just a day. We should never celebrate ANYTHING. All days are beautiful, stop day discrimination. #RealDaysHaveCurves

Planetarian fin. Feelings crumbling 24/7, lost in the abyss and I can't look away. My life is in shambles.

Food is a part of culture

It's probably me. I apologize for all the wrongs I have done on this forum to anybody and everbody ;-;

It's Japanese 2D porn, it's always relevant.

*Panics*

Yep it sure did, though I feel it could've been better if they just focused on story rather than comedy in the first 15 episodes or so.

Point well-taken So I was browsing some stuff in VNDB. . .

Yeah but matching it sometimes end up being thumbnail small. Like my sig for example. It's just that I'm used to having a 2:1 ratio so it just bothers me a bit. Maybe OCD acting up.

don't worry you're not spamming and definitely not annoying to stay on topic

Weak.

When you come down to it, what is the point of any holiday? Most of them are more of a headache than fun and are simply celebrated, because our parents celebrated them. Much like religion there is only meaning in them if you believe that there is.

Done with Eldritch's request: Definitely much harder than I anticipated it hahaha. It's been too long since last I did something like this. It's quite refreshing. Edit: While I'm at it, here's another good place to find renders: http://www.game.familyrenders.com/. It has some visual novel renders mixed up in it and there are also other links to anime/manga renders.

Got it. I still don't have an answer from Shikomizue so I'll do yours first. Sovereign's request:

Honoka 5/20 - 5/31 初イベントは大変!? Score Up: Let's Take It Slowly! For every 28 notes, there is a 38% chance of increasing player's score by 375. (Level 1) Level 60: 4380 Level 80: 4660 ~~ Definitely want T2 but I'm slumping massively atm so it may get rough

@Rance LMFAO

happy birthday maef edit: oh and the 'other spammer'

Welcome to the community. I hope to see you around.

I ACTUALLY look forward to studying Japanese everyday even if I bitch and complain about it. It will all be worth it when I am reading stuff like Asairo, Oretsuba, and Dies Irae someday far in the future.

Happy Birthday Kosaki, though I'm guessing that there is still an hour left for that at your place. May you forever spread the love for all things lewd. Happy Birthday to maefdomn too

Happy Birthday Kosaki and Maefdomn!

It's a little early, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEPHLPmt914! You too, maefdomn, happy birthday! ^^

You know when your birthday comes and celebrate it, but the date when you die comes and you just let it pass. I only said this just to match this thread atmosphere. It's the day where your elementary school's friend and people you haven't been in touch 10 years ago spam 'HBD' on your wall and you are like 'Who is this guy again?' or 'He's still alive!'.

Happy birthday KosakiFag! <3 <3

I picked up everything. Though I think PP is not worth its cost.

Hmmm The way I see it, Very Potent Neurotoxins will grant you temporary powers of truth and justice but afterwards you die

But this is unique in a good way, it's filled with clever writing and dialogue to enhance the experience that is the story they're telling. Also they do show you the meaningful stuff happening on screen, you can't say literally nothing happens, it's just that most of the exposure occurs in the form of dialogue, but that dialogue is quite cleverly crafted. As someone else put it: "Bakemonogatari" is essentially a verbal performance with visual support. It was an experimental series that succeeded. One can not deny the clever writing that went into the show, sadly a lot of the cleverness is lost in subtitles, no matter how good these subtitles may be (and any fansub will tell you the same). Whenever someome tells me Bakemonogatari is not good because there's not a lot of action happening on screen, a kitten dies. This series is one of the most well thought out anime in recent years and it executes the theme brilliantly, the visuals are beautiful and they serve as a support for the awesome dialogues, so yes this anime does utilize visuals more cleverely than most I would even say, it's just that unlike most anime, this one is not about fast paced action or anything like that. And the sheer amount of Monogatari fans probably shows why this series is so good. I agree that this series is not for everybody, it absolutely is not, but saying it's not good because it doesn't fit the medium or doesn't have a lot going on screen really reallyyyy irks me. The Monogatari series is a product created from amazing author working with an amazing director to create an amazing story. It's a journey through some of the most amazing prose, coupled with some of the most amazing visuals, it doesn't need to have crazy fast paced action, it's meant to make the viewer witness a journey created mainly by words. Anyway, started watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, brilliant, fucking brilliant, that's all I have to say.

That's the whole point of the show though, storytelling. In an unusual, quirky way with tons of wordplay and whatnot, alongside fabulous visuals. Indeed it's not jampacked with action, but that was never the goal of it to begin with, this is an anime series that's trying to be different in a medium that always follows a cookie cutter formula, that's why it's so highly praised, why should anime be more for show rather than tell, why can't they tell a fantastic story through the use of awesome scripting? And that's one major reason the Monogatari series is highly regarded, the rest of course is because the story is interesting, mysterious and unique overall, the characters are also all unique and the quality of the show as a whole is really really good. For those looking for some fast paced action, this is definitely not the show for them, but for those looking for a different storytelling experience, it's definitely a really good show.

This is the first visual novel I've ever read, it was a nice story... I found myself having some heartthrob at the end of each route, it was really touching I hope the fan disk gets translated, I really don't want it to end

To an extent Quartett! did this, and honestly Quartett showed why ignoring writing for fancy visuals and audio is a bad move. I appreciate Quartett for its unique presentation of art work (it is like a visual novel mixed with a manga), but I found it really hard to enjoy the actual story because the writing was just...meh. The only thing that kept me going was the fancy artwork and visual presentation, but I didn't really enjoy the experience. I mostly just kept with it because I was interested in how it was doing something unique in the medium. But if I had to pick between something like Quarett! with great artwork but weak writing, or something like Narcissu with minimalist artwork but fantastic writing; I would always pick the latter.
