The Anime Reality

If I’ve learned anything from reading through all these anime forums, it’s that anyone can become a modern day master swordsman with enough anime.

Be sure to grab the blade as firmly as possible with your own hand.

Heh… there’s meh character again – with improved hair! XD

This got done LIGHTNING FAST…. in my world, at least. Partly because there was no background to worry about. ^_^

The char is going through the routine – step 2 in my own sword technique. The stance, though simple, looks more as a defensive manuver rather than an attack strike. Either way, it still looks nice.

Stuff that was changed:

The hair – made it longer, especially in front. ^_^

Slacks – shaded them.

Shoes – Forgive the design… they look like cheap ones… I was out of creativity by then. T_T

While this isn’t Imminent Attack, it still is one of the best that I’ve produced!

If you’ve read our last article on Ryo-Misaki, you probably know that he is far too large to contain in just one megapost. Knowing this, we decided to take a look into Ryo-Misaki’s AnimeB wiki page that he personally wrote himself! For those of you that don’t have time to scroll through a wiki about a massive fat man’s forum and IRC habits, we have taken the courtesy to highlight all the important parts!

Ryo was always an “educated n00b”, preferring to search extensively on a subject (and forum archives) before creating a thread or asking a question.

Around 2004, the AnimeB Brigades were formed. Naturally, Ryo was one of the first to sign up in the Motoko Brigade. He also joined the Army of the Suu Republic (ASR) and Her Kawaiiness’ Secret Service (HKSS), but not with as much participation. Ryo helped lead the Motoko Brigade to victory against the Naru Brigade in the Great Brigade Wars.

Misaki is a very sociable person, and if on the forum, will be found in the shoutbox. (Lately, though, more often on IRC.) If you come on to the Box, you WILL be greeted by Ryo. Always. (Unless he’s idle or in a thread, in which a greet will come upon return.) Ryo likes to start conversation, talk about life/moods, and cheer people up. Ryo’s presence in the Box almost always beckons more activity.

Given’s love life is currently nonexistant.

Other details added are about his job history for working at Applebee’s and his love of music and rhythm games.

There is no end to the madness that is KingdomHeartsFrantic.

Something a lot of people who watch a shitload of anime seem to have in common is that- -and I believe this to be a damn universal constant- -deep down inside, they want to be Goku. This isn’t altogether unsurprising, because a lot of people who watch a ton of anime would probably want to be both athletic and well-liked by everyone around them and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.

But rather than take that impulse and hit the gym, all these budding aryan badasses grab a Bawls and start upending bucketfuls of particle effects onto grainy webcam feeds of themselves standing around with clenched fists and, sometimes, all-knowing smirks as the unbridled power of After Effects CS3 runs through their veins.
