I like regular Coke or maybe a good quality root beer.

I actually think Strawberry Panic offers more than abundant fanservice and makeout sessions... You ever see Aoi Hana? It's probably the most realistic yuri anime I've seen.

Nice list. Contains some titles I really love. It's always good to see Strike Witches, Strawberry Panic and Ninja Nonsense being appreciated. And Ika Musume was one of my absolute favorites from last year.

It's cool. I only did just post her today, so I'm not surprised. It does sound like there are some similarities to the characters, but there are also some fundamental differences. My Radiant's cutie mark moment was about her enduring in a fight rather than beating someone, and her cutie mark is a shield rather than a sword, so that probably speaks to a fundamental difference in approach. Given their similar ages and backgrounds, I imagine the two of them might probably be familiar with each other should they both be approved.

Her concept seems similar to the one I posted earlier today. I'm fine with that though. I say another female guard pony is cool to have.

Well, alright then. 1) Thats the exact same thing that i thought before i dived into that universe, now here i am and i do have 2 Sabers and 2 Rins on my desk right now, they so pretty 2) well... the way the game saw the light is heavily suspected to have been some sort of enormous troll by Age (the makers) im pretty certain the name was a way to try to put the buzz off a bit. but dunno 2 Sabers and 2 Rins? I'm jealous. I only have one Saber and one Rider. And I see. That's kind of cool.

Well, your avatar does certainly look enticing. I can believe there are better visual novels than Fate/Stay Night. Even if there are it wouldn't diminish my love of F/SN. I have like action figures and stuff... But cool. I'll keep it in mind. I honestly doubt something called "Muv Luv" would have ever caught my eye. And I used to read a lot of manga. I don't as much these days. Tenjho Tenge was actually one of the first manga I read (because the anime, which I enjoyed, just cuts off suddenly). But yeah... the manga got pretty confusing and I kind of stopped following it... You seem to like Gurren Lagann, FLCL and Panty and Stocking. I'm kind of curious what other than Evangelion has Gainax done to so sour your opinion of them when it seems you like most of the biggest titles that come to my mind when it comes to that studio?

I see. And yeah. Apparently it is quite different. I personally don't think something has to be happening for me to be having a good time. If I'm amused just watching the characters interact, any plot is secondary to me. That's why I like a lot of slice of life/comedy anime like that. And yeah, Lucky Channel is arguably the best part of any given Lucky Star episode. Azumanga Daioh is also brilliant. I actually prefer Lucky Star by a hair though. Gurren Lagann was pretty good. I sometimes feel I wasn't impressed with it as some people are. Still, it's fun.

Welcome to the forum! Have fun.

I don't watch a lot of shoujo/josei anime but I like Kuragehime/Princess jellyfish. That was a cute show. I loved Madoka Magica from the onset. That said, it doesn't become brilliant until after the third episode. And yeah, after that point you can't possibly call it dull. You might not like it. In fact I'm pretty sure you won't. It's often compared to Evangelion which most anime fans think is brilliant but you obviously don't. And if you can't even sit through a single episode... yeah... it's probably just not going to work for you... Also, Lucky Star is one of my all time favorite anime series. I think that is hilarious and pure fun. Nothing in it is dull to me and the characters are lovable. Oh, and about Fate/Stay Night, masterpiece may be just a little strong for the anime. The VN certainly is. I still wouldn't call the anime bad by any means and actually consider it to be very nicely done.

Ah. Yeah, I didn't see yours earlier. But reading it, from the sound of things, aside from being guards, the two characters couldn't be much more different. Which is cool.

My first crack at a FiM RP character... I hope nothing too similar to this has been done before. I'm willing to change just about anything if necessary, as well as add anything that might be missing. Name: Radiant Steel (shortens to Radiant. Steel is treated like a surname). Post colour: FF0000 Sex: female Age: Young Mare (early twenties equivalent) Species: Pegasus Pelt colour: Dull white Mane/Tail/Markings colour & Style: Deep red in colour. Mane is worn long and very straight in the back, and moderately long and swept to the side in the front. Tail is kept quite short. Eye colour: Bright Green Cutie Mark: A silver shield with a gold and black stripe going across it horizontally (usually obscured by the armor she wears). Physique: Strong and athletic in build but average in size. She typically wears the ceremonial golden armor of the Garrison Forces, including the hoof armor but excluding the helmet. Origin: Canterlot Roleplay Type: Mane RP Occupation: Member of the Royal Equestrian Army Garrison Forces working as a guard out of Canterlot Castle Motivation: She feels an upmost duty to serve Equestria faithfully and stop those who wish it harm Likes: sweet foods, cute things, the Equestrian Royalty, unicorn magic Dislikes: bitter foods, disrespectfulness, cruelty Character Summary: Radiant is a very direct young mare. She tries her best to make due with as few words spoken as possible. Despite this, sometimes she is prone to over analyzing things in her head, which can trip her up. True to her profession, she does her best to remain ever firm and stern. She is weak to tasty sweets and things she thinks are cute (particularly small animals), both of which are capable of tearing through her tough persona. She has a very strong sense of honor, and is very proud of her job. She adores the princesses she has sworn to protect above all else, even if she has never talked to them on a personal level. She has a low tolerance for those who disrespect her, the princesses or just generally break Equestrian law. She is quick to use force when necessary to stop troublemakers and criminals. Radiant was born a daughter of the Steel family which had served the Castle Canterlot for generations as soldiers of the REA. Her father, a Major in the Garrison Forces by the name of Rufous Steeledge pushed her and her two brothers to follow in his footsteps from early on. However, as a filly, Radiant was not very interested in taking up the family profession. It just didn't seem cute or feminine enough to her. Her mother, a unicorn named Lucid Glow, pushed her to try following her own childhood dreams of baking sweets or tending to adorable animals. Despite her best efforts, she was chagrinned to learn that she had no talent whatsoever for baking and animals seemed to instinctively hate and attack her. Distraught and feeling lost at her continual failures, Radiant one day came across a scene that greatly altered her perspective. Some colts and fillies from her school were defacing a section of the back wall of the very castle her family worked so hard to keep safe, all for a laugh. It was only then that Radiant realized the depth of her pride for what her family did. Infuriated, the young filly recklessly charged in to stop the vandals. Outnumbered, she was clearly bound to lose the fight, but even knowing this she stood strong and allowed not one of them to escape before guards from the castle noticed the commotion and flew in to apprehend the disrespectful youth. Though beaten up badly, in the aftermath of that incident Radiant never felt more satisfied with herself. Her cutie mark, a sturdy shield appeared on her flank that day and with it her attitude changed. She had a new found respect for her father and what he did and decided she wanted to follow in his footsteps. She began training to become accepted into the Royal Equestria Army, knowing that as a mare she was going to have to work extra hard to be accepted in a profession so dependent on strength and so dominated by stallions. Through shear determination and her father's recommendation she eventually made the cut. She is still fairly new at the job and perhaps not yet as disciplined as some of her fellow soldiers. Her brash, reckless and sometimes too passionate attitude can cause her to butt heads with others, and none more so than her own stern, no-nonsense father. She tends to forego the helmet that goes with the guard 's armor out of personal preferences whenever she can get away with it. Though not nearly as big as the stallions she works with, she is quick on her hooves or her wings and can be quite fierce in a fight. She is committed to using her strength to protect the princesses or anyone else she is assigned to guard. I tried making a picture of her from a template, but it sucked... Luckily, ChelseaGold made this absolutely awesome picture for me instead. Pony chubby version courtesy of Brauner02: And here's a lovely watercolour of her by Rainbolt!

Awesome. The visual novel is even more incredible than the anime.

Fate/Stay Night certainly is a masterpiece. The only time I've ever been compelled to actually download and play through an entire visual novel after watching an anime.

I might someday. Thought I'm not sure even great characters will fix me not really connecting with the humor. I kind of love Fairy Tail. It's kind of derivative shounen, but the characters are just so much fun. Code Geass is a favorite too, even with it's overblown silliness. And Evangelion is definitely a classic. That's from a show from last year called Star Driver.

Heh. I never really thought about Twilight as "emo". I suppose at the beginning of the show she kind of is...

Yeah... Party of One really is a good episode. It's probably my third favorite of the bunch. For me, it did for Pinkie what Suited for Success did for Rarity, that is make her much more interesting as a character. It just doesn't have a song as catchy as the other two I mentioned...

Fanservice can be overdone and end up distracting from the content. In limited quantities I think it can really add a lot to. I personally kind of detest it when fanservice is used as comedy (unless it's balanced out or done with restraint or alternatively just really good fanservice), but I really do gravitate toward shows where I find the characters attractive (and before anyone says anything, no, that is not why I'm into FiM...), so a little fanservice seems natural to me. I can sometimes see endings before they happen. It doesn't bother me too much if I enjoy watching the characters. If I was going to suggest something, again I'd bring up Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It's only 12 episodes long, but it's enthralling from start to finish. I can think of no anime I enjoy watching more in the 13 or so years I've been watching the stuff, and this is something that only just came out earlier this year. Currently airing anime Steins;Gate is giving me similar feelings, but I hesitate to suggest something that hasn't concluded yet. I see. I used to like DBZ but I just know it probably hasn't held up all that well. I might look at Heroman at some point then. I actually hadn't heard much about it. Hajime no Ippo just doesn't really look or sound like my sort of thing and it never really has.

Suited for Success is an all time favorite of mine. The episode that made me really fall in love with Rarity. Friendship is Magic Part 2 was my second choice. It just really goes a long way in defining the characters. And it has Luna.

I might give Panty and Stocking another chance someday. I just don't remember laughing at any of what I saw. I have a kind of strange sense of humor sometimes though, so it's probably just me. I like a lot of modern anime. It can be just as good as the classics or better. I should probably try Ranma 1/2 someday. it always sort of interested me. It was just already kind of old by the time I heard about it and I never got to it. I thought about watching Heroman, but just never did. I'm not really sure why. And absolutely no fanservice? My interest is killed. A good anime needs a little.

I just couldn't get into Panty and Stocking even though I wanted to. It looked really nice, and there was a lot about it I did like. The humor was just too crude for my tastes. I gave up on it after like five episodes. I couldn't get into One Piece either, actually. I think that might have to do more with it being the original English dub that I tried to get into though... I've read a very small amount of the manga version of Ranma 1/2 and that seemed pretty good at least... even if I didn't ever look at any more.

I am. Anyone else? If so, what are your favorite series? I've seen many anime series and I'd say my personal favorite is Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Heh. These are some of my favorites: Fire Emblem Valkyria Chronicles Tales of Valkyrie Profile Castlevania Disgaea BlazBlue Soul Calibur Final Fantasy (at least sometimes) Metroid

Edit: Decided to completely rewrite this post. Yeah. I figured I should actually describe the fics I wrote. I've been a fanfic writer for years now, so obviously when I started getting into FiM the fanfic ideas started coming. My passion has always been f/f romance fics. This hasn't changed with FiM. All of these are f/f shipping fics involving the Mane cast. None of them are clopfics or anything like that. It stops at just cute romance. I've written three so far. They are all available on both fanfiction.net and deviantART: An Entwining of Hearts: This was the first one I wrote. It's just a oneshot. The ship is my absolute favorite ever, Rarity/Dash. There isn't much plot beyond the two just realizing what they mean to each other. Still, I think it's cute. deviantART link. Fanfiction.net link. Blossoming: My second story. It's three chapters and an Applejack/Fluttershy story. The basic plot is that all of Fluttershy's friends keep asking things of her, which makes her become flustered. She eventually runs into Applejack who seems to be the only one willing to listen to her and help her. deviantART Chapter 1 deviantART Chapter 2 deviantART Chapter 3. Fanfiction.net link Friendship is Magic; Love is Confusing: My third story. It's a two chapter Twilight/Pinkie story. The plot to this one is that Twilight is bored one day, so she decides to do research on one thing she has never had any experience with: romantic dating. After making a complete fool of herself, she finally finds one pony just crazy enough to say yes. deviantART Chapter 1 deviantART Chapter 2. Fanfiction.net link.

I voted for Luna and Gilda. Mostly because they're designs are just so cool looking to me. Sure, Luna hasn't done anything yet and Gilda doesn't have the most agreeable personality, but they stand out to me. Trixie is cool too.
