[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

@21308 Most of the time.

@Kronshi Coooooool

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Yeah it isn't bad. I like most music

[Raijinslayer]

@21308 I think I might, name some bands for me

[Loony]

@21308 It is, I can at least say for the characters. Especially Nylocke. He's not my #1 favourite but it's this universally agreed upon thing that it's like, impossible to not like Nylocke for some reason. XD And as for the quality, it's pretty high up especially in the VA department since the animator does VA himself, characters are great, plot varies, writing is good (gets progressively better and better through first season and declines in second season, though the last episode (thus far, season 3 still unconfirmed) did make up for it a bit), animation is alright, use of colours went from good to nOPE in second season (I was cool with the redesigns but dear god those colors I'm sorry but I really liked the old ones better I hope they go back to similar colour schemes if a third season does happen), music is wonderful as is the VA...I feel like a really grumpy critic now. XD

It is good, worth checking out.

Hey everyone, I can't remember who was up for my other RP 'The Time We Have' but there is one spot open. Two if you count the killer so yeah, just want to give you guys first priority ^-^

@21308 I'm usually don't say I like or dislike x genre of music because I always make exceptions. The only thing that is 100% consistent is that I'm a sucker for anything with a music box I don't know why but I am.

Music boxes are my weakness.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

I love music boxes T.T

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon

What if I told you that I associate Talc with music boxes, especially those with a lullaby like tone? TT v TT

[21308]

@Raijinslayer Hmm, The Dropkick Murphys, Gorilla Biscuits, .....Say Anything? (If you know who they are and much about punk music you'll know why I'm tentative about listing them but to heck with it I love Say Anything)

@Loony That all sounds pretty great, and the art did look nice. I guess I can't speak to the quality of the animation until I actually see it in action, but you've got me optimistic. I especially love that you say it has good VA's, those can be hard to find in internet things.

[Kronshi]

@Akayaofthemoon I don't count the killer because my audition is the best audition. Nobody can beat me!!!!

[Loony]

@21308 Do check it out. ^ ^" I'd say don't judge it by the first episode though, creator himself said they were still not quite sure what they were doing at the first episode, second episode he was really proud of though it was also experimental, third one was when they began to settle in. And the VA gets way better by the second episode and it's the one thing that definitely didn't decline by the second season. There's this one bit in season two in particular where the creator of the series (who also does VA for two characters) screams as if he's gotten his arm chopped off and the pain sounds real people we asking if he actually had to hurt himself badly to get the reaction. XD

[Loony]

Now I'm just thinking of how all the characters in here would be like in TOME. How they'd act differently from their actual selves, dual accounts and reasoning, even simple things like how they'd make their player look like and such.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Uggh it really pains me to say it but I think I may need to give up my spot. I don't want to worry you guys with all the details of why but I don't think I should sign up for something I may not be able to commit to.

[21308]

@Loony That all sounds just superb, though it's sad to hear about the second season not being as good. I hate when that happens for a ton of reasons, obviously, and not least of which is how confusing it is. I mean, aren't shows supposed to get better as the people making them figure out what they're doing and learn the ropes?

[Loony]

@21308 I don't know, a lot of people loved the second season, but I still liked the first one better. On the plus side the animation and VA did get better with the second season (and considering how good the latter was that's saying a lot) but meh. Maybe it's just the tone shift that bothered me? It felt a lot less lighthearted. Not that it didn't have it's moments for sure, because it certainly did, but ye...And it felt like it was crying too hard at times, but again, probably just me. A lot of folks loved the second season, so take my word with a grain of salt. ^ ^" Almost everyone agrees on the colour scheme thing though and the creator made an apology for it saying that he was trying to incorporate some criticisms he got before about the colours and didn't know he was making them worse.

The top is the new colour schemes, the bottom the old. The only new one I liked more than the old was GC's (purple one)

The second season did continue and beautifully end the subplot with Rockoon though so that was well worth it ahahaha I love my freak of a fuzzball too much.

[HaltingBlooper]

One thing I like about having internet fwiends is that I can say things that I'm embarrassed to say irl, like songs/artists I like that nobody has heard of/nobody likes.

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper

Gilles and I have this problem where we're 80% of the time not ashamed to say or do something it's a problem but ye I understand exactly what you mean.

[21308]

@Loony Hm, yeah I can kind of see what you mean about the color schemes. I get that they might have wanted to do the second season in more detail or something but it seems like something they should have maybe experimented with more first until they were sure it was right.

@HaltingBlooper Anything in particular?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

I'm considering on controlling one of the original Crystal Gems (Garnet, Amethyst, or Pearl) as my second character...Thoughts?
