My favorite Stella. best character.

OMG! All of these are my favorite characters! This is such a hard choice! I have to pick one... I would say --->

*Takes Icy* mine!

Seriously though I kind of just want to take her and give her to an author who will give her the justice she deserves.

@zanhar1 since I'm bored and love to fill the comment section with random comments,I'm going to ask you these questions:
If you could than to which author would you give Icy?According to you which author has done the best job at portraying their villains?Since we're on this subject,which author do you think could have done a much better job with Winx Club?Would you like to see Winx Club getting a reboot in the future with a much more mature plot directed towards older audiences?

Oh that's a good question. Within the same genre, the author of W.i.t.c.h. for sure. He or she did so well with Nerissa and Phobos and Cedric, I have no doubt in my mind that he or she would do Icy's character justice and bring her to her full potential. The author of W.i.t.c.h. really knows how to write a villain within a show for younger crowds. I'd also love to give her to Mike & Bryan (the creators of Avatar) they are amazing with characterization. Even their background characters have substance. They're also really good with tragic backstories. And all of their villains are so well-written. Azula and Zuko are prime examples. Literally all of the LoK villains are sympathetic; Kuvira just wanted to protect her nation but overdid it and became a dictator, The Red Lotus believed that anarchy was the way to go in order to achieve freedom and the elimination of corrupt government officials, Amon wanted equality between benders and nonbenders. They are so good at writing bad guys. Maybe the author of Full Metal Alchemist would be cool if I could pick a third. Her homonculus are astounding.

Along the same lines I think the first two mentioned could have done a better job with Winx. The author of Magic Knights (based on what I've seen) could also probably make something really neat of Winx. Hell, maybe even the author of Sailor Moon. But honestly if Iginoi put the same amount of effort in as he did with seasons 1-3, then he'd be alright.

And yeah, that' something I'd really enjoy. A reboot that is aimed at the original, older fans who are still invested in the show. I'd love to see all of the characters' powers and abilities pushed to their fullest. I'd love to see Lucy/Mirta be a canon couple. I'd love to see mature backstories for the Trix and the others.

Elisabetta Gnone,Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa were the creators of W.I.T.C.H. however Elisabeth Gnone is often credited as themain creator.I agree they did a great job with portraying the villains.The writers of Avatar also did a great job with the villains(especially with Zuko's background story).
However I think that the author that did the best job with portraying their villains is Yuu Watase in Fushigi Yuugi.All of the Seiryuu Seven(well expect Miboshi)had valid reasons to be evil.The villains managed to gain some victories and at one point the situation seemed completely hopeless for the good guys.She even wrote a light novel about the main villain Nakago that was completely about his life.
Hiro Mashima(writer of Fairy Tail)also has does a great job at portraying his villains.Eiichiro Oda the writer of One Piece also created some good villains.
When it comes to the same genre the creators of Magic Knight Rayearth(the CLAMP team.Nanase Ohkawa being the writer) and Junichi Sato the writer of Pretear did a great job at portraying their villains as well.

"But honestly if Iginoi put the same amount of effort in as he did with seasons 1-3, then he'd be alright."
I agree.The first 3 seasons and the"Secret of the Lost Kingdom"movie despite of their flaws were really good.My problem with the other seasons is that they were unnecessary at best.Winx Club should have ended at the point when Bloom found her parents and even got her home planet back.The thing that bothers me the most is that Iginio keeps adding more and more seasons even though his ideas haven't been the best.After"Secret of the Lost Kingdom" he ran so much out of new ideas that he had to recycle the"ordinary 16 year old girl finds out that she is a fairy"plot for season 4.Also the fact that since season 4 everyone on Earth knows that fairies are real makes everything really boring because fairies are supposed to be mystical creatures unknown to humans.Frankly,I'm also getting sick of these"ecology"themes.In season 5 we had the keep your environment clean message and in season 7 we had the whole plot about animal rights and endangered species.It just goes to show that Iginio isn't having any original ideas.Season 6 was a big improvement from season 5 but it still suffered from some bad ideas.Nevertheless it was still tolerable bcause it had many strong points too.Season 6 gave me some hope that Iginio might get it together and give us a truly good season again but season 7 ended up being a huge disappointment.It was seriously even worse than season 5.I don't really have any hopes for season 8 to be good.I once made a joke with lovebaltor that season 8 might end up having the"stay healthy"message in which the Winx girls encourage people to loose weight by leading a healthy lifestyles with exercises and lots of fruits and vegetables.
"And yeah, that' something I'd really enjoy. A reboot that is aimed at the original, older fans who are still invested in the show"
A Winx Club reboot aimed at the older audiences would be a dream come true.We should totally make a petition about it.

i like icy & bloom.

This list surely contains all my fav characters!!

It was hard to choose between Musa and Tecna.

@ElinaFairy
Its nice to know that these are your Favorite too.

Elisabetta Gnone,Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa were the creators of W.I.T.C.H. however Elisabeth Gnone is often credited as themain creator.I agree they did a great job with portraying the villains.

No matter who created it they did a lovely job. They had created so many great villains. Like even though Nerissa didn't have too much of a back story (she got a vague one but it's pretty ambiguous) but it doesn't matter because they do a wonderful job showing how that vague backstory impacts her present actions.

The writers of Avatar also did a great job with the villains(especially with Zuko's background story).

I'm (pretty obviously) very partial to Azula's story. She's that character who developed for the worse so to speak. She went from being very strong and in control, she had everything going for her, to someone who has nothing. Her friends left her, she lost her crown, and her mind. She's just such a complex character in so many ways. Gosh I love her. And where victories and balance of power is concerned; Azula won more often than not. That's what I love about Avatar; the bad guys held most of the power (and even so the good guys still got their wins) up until the end. It was so balanced it was always interesting to watch; you never knew who would come out on top.

However I think that the author that did the best job with portraying their villains is Yuu Watase in Fushigi Yuugi.All of the Seiryuu Seven(well expect Miboshi)had valid reasons to be evil.The villains managed to gain some victories and at one point the situation seemed completely hopeless for the good guys.She even wrote a light novel about the main villain Nakago that was completely about his life.

I've never seen Fushigi Yuugi; it's one of those things on my vast to watch list though. What's it about?

Hiro Mashima(writer of Fairy Tail)also has does a great job at portraying his villains.Eiichiro Oda the writer of One Piece also created some good villains.

I really gotta pick One Piece up again too. What I've seen of it was pretty cool. Fairy Tail, tbh, after that whole thing that went down with Fairy Tail vs Winx I just couldn't get back into it. It was an anime I was just 'meh' with to begin with. And then all the shiz went down; tried picking it up again and it's just not my cup of tea...mostly because Lucy makes me all kinds of annoyed.

When it comes to the same genre the creators of Magic Knight Rayearth(the CLAMP team.Nanase Ohkawa being the writer) and Junichi Sato the writer of Pretear did a great job at portraying their villains as well.

Also haven't seen much of Rayearth but it got off to a good note and I would imagine that the villains in those shows would be cool. What's your stance on Sailor Moon?




I agree.The first 3 seasons and the"Secret of the Lost Kingdom"movie despite of their flaws were really good.My problem with the other seasons is that they were unnecessary at best.Winx Club should have ended at the point when Bloom found her parents and even got her home planet back.

That's truly what gets me. Like after season 3 (& the movie) Winx was over. Like I'm 90% he had planned on ending it there mostly because 1.) "Enchantix is the final fairy form" and 2.) They graduated. He had a very solid first 3 seasons. And the flaws/minor plot-holes they did have were pretty easy to ignore/let slide. However as things progressed the plot-holes got much bigger. Key points were left unaddressed and some dots became left unconnected. And then there are continuity issues such as never explaining what was meant by Enchantix is the final form.

The thing that bothers me the most is that Iginio keeps adding more and more seasons even though his ideas haven't been the best.After"Secret of the Lost Kingdom" he ran so much out of new ideas that he had to recycle the"ordinary 16 year old girl finds out that she is a fairy"plot for season 4.Also the fact that since season 4 everyone on Earth knows that fairies are real makes everything really boring because fairies are supposed to be mystical creatures unknown to humans.

Pretty much. Winx has become my go to example of why too much of a good thing is a bad thing. I think the show has become a money grab at this point. I completely respect seasons 1-3 and the magic his show brought my childhood. But I don't respect the greed that I'm sensing. He should call it quits and start something new. It's a bit of a risk but I'd imagine he'd be able to make something cool.

Frankly,I'm also getting sick of these"ecology"themes.In season 5 we had the keep your environment clean message and in season 7 we had the whole plot about animal rights and endangered species.It just goes to show that Iginio isn't having any original ideas.Season 6 was a big improvement from season 5 but it still suffered from some bad ideas.Nevertheless it was still tolerable bcause it had many strong points too.Season 6 gave me some hope that Iginio might get it together and give us a truly good season again but season 7 ended up being a huge disappointment.It was seriously even worse than season 5.I don't really have any hopes for season 8 to be good.I once made a joke with lovebaltor that season 8 might end up having the"stay healthy"message in which the Winx girls encourage people to loose weight by leading a healthy lifestyles with exercises and lots of fruits and vegetables.

Freaking this! This is the other thing I hate. He's on such an idea drought that he's getting very preachy. I respect trying to teach children to help the Earth/environment but there's a time and a place. Winx isn't it. Winx used to be about a magical dimension in which a fairy with special powers saved the world from various evils. You can't just take such a unique(ish) plot, do a 180, and change it into something so out there like go green and expect it to work. Winx was never about that and never hinted at it thematically so it just doesn't work.
To be fair I'm pretty sure that happened because Nick and the other TV networks made a push for it. I've heard that they changed the target audience to 4-5 year olds or something like that. But damn, I want to be an author, it's not exactly a money making profession as it is. But I wouldn't change my writing style to cater to a TV channel, it wouldn't be my writing then. I feel like it's a huge disrespect to the fans and the author him/herself as well as the story itself to do so. I understand why; money is important. But I don't think that I personally could do that; it's my story after all. If I cater to anyone, it'd be the fans.

Right though, someone start that lol.

@zanhar1
"I've never seen Fushigi Yuugi; it's one of those things on my vast to watch list though. What's it about?"
The protagonist of Fushigi Yuugi is Miaka.Fushigi Yuugi follow this storyline:One day when Miaka and her best friend Yui went to the library,Miaka saw a phoenix and followed it into a room in which Miaka and Yui find a book called"The Universe of The Four Gods".When they start reading the book,the book sucks them into a fantasy world reminiscent to ancient China.Miaka learns that she is the priestess of the god Suzaku and that it is her duty to gather all the 7 Celestial warriors of Suzaku and summon Suzaku.Once summoned Suzaku will grant her 3 wishes.
Of course there is a villain that is determined to stop them,it is Nakago of the Seiryuu 7 because he wants to summon the god Seiryuu(with the help of Miaka's best friend Yui who turns out to be the priestess of Seiryuu and after a huge misunderstanding becomes Miaka's enemy)so that he can put his main plan in action.We don't find out about his true intentions until the last 10 episodes.
I don't really know if it is your cup of tea though.It has has flaws considering that it is one of Yuu Watse's first works(If I recall right it was her debut) There is also a lot of romance in it(the lovestory between Miaka and Tamahome)that is sometimes over done,also being part of the reverse harem genre there are a lot of guys who fall in love with Miaka.Miaka is also very annoying because she is super stupid(she is actually just like Usagi from Sailor Moon but even more stupid sometimes),Other than those flaws,the plot is pretty solid.Despite the fact that it has a lot of comedy in it,it still is pretty dark at times like:4 main characters die(2 of them have gruesome deaths)and deaths of minor characters,it also contains,war,rape,genocide and slavery.So yeah,it pretty much is one of the darkest shoujo animes.Overall I would suggest you to watch it because the villains are awesome and there are many times in which they actually win,once the plot gets serious it keeps you guessing about what is going to happen next(there was even a time when everything seemed to be completely hopeless for out heroes),the characters(save for Miaka with who I have a love hate relationship)are likeable and I really like the fact that they included a transsexual character that is a badass warrior instead of just a comic relief figure,Tamahome is also a great male leading character.The first 7 episodes are kinda slow because the plot is just getting started but afterwards the plot gets interesting especially after Nakago appears in episode 10.
"Fairy Tail, tbh, after that whole thing that went down with Fairy Tail vs Winx I just couldn't get back into it. It was an anime I was just 'meh' with to begin with. And then all the shiz went down; tried picking it up again and it's just not my cup of tea...mostly because Lucy makes me all kinds of annoyed."
Fairy Tail actually starts to get better after episode 10.I personally started to like it very much after Gray's background story is revealed during the"Galuna Island"arc,it was a tragic and well written background story.At first Lucy annoyed me too but I started to like her very much during the"Phantom Lord"(ep 21-29)in which her background story is revealed and"Loke"arc(ep 30-32).However"Tower Of Heaven"was the arc in which Fairy Tail started to get epic,the plot was awesome,Jellal was a good villain and it was great to see Erza's background story and the other aspect of her personality,her character actually develops very much during this arc.Since,you like Cana,you should definitely watch the"Tenrou Island"arc because it is focused on Cana,her background story and the reason why she is determined to become an S-class wizard.In my opinion it is the best Fairy Tail arc,the plot is awesome,the villains are awesome and hard to defeat and I love the fact that it focuses on the more minor characters.
"Also haven't seen much of Rayearth but it got off to a good note and I would imagine that the villains in those shows would be cool. What's your stance on Sailor Moon? "
The villains of Magic Knight Rayearth are pretty good.However the reason why I consider MKR superior to other magical girl animes is because of the plot twist at the end that nobody could have seen coming.
I love Sailor Moon it is one of my favorite magical girl animes.When it comes to the villains I like them better in the anime than in the manga especially the Black Moon arc.The villains are pretty good.I love Beryl and Galaxia both in the manga and the anime.When it comes to Nehelenia I like her better in the anime because they gave her a background story.I also like Demande in the anime but he was rather one dimensional in the manga.I also like Nephrite,Kunzite and Zoisite in the anime.I only liked the Ayakashi sister in the episodes in which they were reformed.I also like the other villains but those that I mentioned are the only ones that are memorable to me.
Now back to Winx Club:
"I completely respect seasons 1-3 and the magic his show brought my childhood. But I don't respect the greed that I'm sensing. He should call it quits and start something new. It's a bit of a risk but I'd imagine he'd be able to make something cool. "
I also have respect Iginio for creating a show that was an important part of my childhood but I just hate the fact that his greed ruined Winx Club.
It is quite obvious to me that Iginio wanted to end Winx Club with"The Secret of the Lost Kingdom"movie but somebody must have suggested to him that it is better to continue Winx Club,he also became tempted by the money and was probably afraid that without Winx Club he wouldn't be relevant anymore and thats why he decided to continue it.As for Iginio starting a new series,he actually has created another series called"Huntik: Secrets & Seekers"it is more of an action fantasy series that is targeted more towards boy than girls.I saw some episodes of it and it is actually pretty cool.However it ended after two seasons and wasn't nearly as successful as Winx Club.
"To be fair I'm pretty sure that happened because Nick and the other TV networks made a push for it. I've heard that they changed the target audience to 4-5 year olds or something like that."
I would entirely blame Nick for it because they didn't hold a gun to Iginio head by telling him"You have to turn Winx Club into a crappy series that is only suited for 5 year old girls or else we will kill you".Nick also didn't have total control over Winx Club,all that they did was giving suggestions to Iginio and it was only his fault for accepting them.Although Nick actually gave one good decision telling Iginio that Roxy shouldn't become a Winx Club member because lets be honest 6 members are already enough.Also,have you seen season 7?Before this season was created Iginio ended the partnership with Nick but the season still ended up being a complete mess even worse than season 5.
"I want to be an author, it's not exactly a money making profession as it is. But I wouldn't change my writing style to cater to a TV channel, it wouldn't be my writing then. I feel like it's a huge disrespect to the fans and the author him/herself as well as the story itself to do so. I understand why; money is important. But I don't think that I personally could do that; it's my story after all. If I cater to anyone, it'd be the fans."
To be honest I wouldn't really like to be an author.It is a rather hard job that isn't really appreciated especially now that everyone seems to give authors a really hard time if they don't like their stories,just take Stephanie Meyer for example,I agree that Twilight isn't a good book series(although it isn't even half as bad as people make it out to be) but she didn't deserve all the insults that she got.I seriously think that even the worst writers don't deserve hate and insults from people because they put a lot of effort into their work,hell some of them probably didn't even get proper sleep at night because of all the work they did.I know that this makes me sound like a hypocrite because I have criticized Iginio many times but I didn't criticize him because of his original story but because he was so consumed with greed that he has ruined his own story by unnecessarily extending it,he even ruined all the characters because of it.Also,these days its really hard to please people with a character.If the character is weak they are going to hate him or her for being useless but if a characters is too strong they are again going to hate him or her for being unrealistic.Also almost every writers these days is accused of writing a Mary Sue.I just hate it how Mary Sue lost its original meaning and became a word for describing a character that people dislike.

Why do I feel that I have written all of that for nothing?lol

You didn't, I've just been kind of busy irl (and with fanfics--gotta get 'em done before winter break ends) and haven't been on fanpop much. Imma get to it. :P

The protagonist of Fushigi Yuugi is Miaka.Fushigi Yuugi follow this storyline:One day when Miaka and her best friend Yui went to the library,Miaka saw a phoenix and followed it into a room in which Miaka and Yui find a book called"The Universe of The Four Gods".When they start reading the book,the book sucks them into a fantasy world reminiscent to ancient China.Miaka learns that she is the priestess of the god Suzaku and that it is her duty to gather all the 7 Celestial warriors of Suzaku and summon Suzaku.Once summoned Suzaku will grant her 3 wishes.
Of course there is a villain that is determined to stop them,it is Nakago of the Seiryuu 7 because he wants to summon the god Seiryuu(with the help of Miaka's best friend Yui who turns out to be the priestess of Seiryuu and after a huge misunderstanding becomes Miaka's enemy)so that he can put his main plan in action.We don't find out about his true intentions until the last 10 episodes.
I do like ancient China :P I enjoy the fantasy type stuff. Is it Magical girl? I feel like I’ve heard of nakago before, I think I actually might have heard of this one, just didn’t get around to watching it. Though I might be thinking of a different Nakago.

I don't really know if it is your cup of tea though.It has has flaws considering that it is one of Yuu Watse's first works(If I recall right it was her debut) There is also a lot of romance in it(the lovestory between Miaka and Tamahome)that is sometimes over done,also being part of the reverse harem genre there are a lot of guys who fall in love with Miaka.
Oh okay. Yeah I can usually handle some romance but I don’t care for it when it’s overdone. I’m fine with Harem and Reverse Harem on occasions. Like Ouran Highs School Host Club was a fun one for me. But that may be because it was more humor romance than romance romance. I’m cool with the lots of guys falling in love with a character if it’s a core element of the genre.

Miaka is also very annoying because she is super stupid(she is actually just like Usagi from Sailor Moon but even more stupid sometimes),Other than those flaws,the plot is pretty solid.
That would get under my skin. I love Sailor Moon (the anime not the character) don’t really care for Usagi herself. I have such a thing for Nehelenia, she was one of my first ever favorite characters. But I can handle a stupid character if the plot is solid. It’s when the main is stupid and the plot isn’t very strong that I can’t watch the thing.

Despite the fact that it has a lot of comedy in it,it still is pretty dark at times like:4 main characters die(2 of them have gruesome deaths)and deaths of minor characters,it also contains,war,rape,genocide and slavery.So yeah,it pretty much is one of the darkest shoujo animes.
That’s another thing I can shoot for. Comedy and darkness in one package. That’s the kind of stuff I like to write. I’m all about mature themes, honestly. If it has a gruesome death in it I’ll probably like it lol. Is it Blood C level gruesome?
Overall I would suggest you to watch it because the villains are awesome and there are many times in which they actually win,once the plot gets serious it keeps you guessing about what is going to happen next(there was even a time when everything seemed to be completely hopeless for out heroes),the characters(save for Miaka with who I have a love hate relationship)are likeable and I really like the fact that they included a transsexual character that is a badass warrior instead of just a comic relief figure,Tamahome is also a great male leading character.The first 7 episodes are kinda slow because the plot is just getting started but afterwards the plot gets interesting especially after Nakago appears in episode 10.
That’s another thing I can get behind. Balance of power and not being very clearly partial to the good guys is kind of key for me. Oh that’s cool, I think the media could use some more badass transsexual characters that aren’t comedy figures.

Fairy Tail actually starts to get better after episode 10.I personally started to like it very much after Gray's background story is revealed during the"Galuna Island"arc,it was a tragic and well written background story.
Honestly even when I was okay with the anime I was never really fond of Gray. Maybe in the beginning but he reminded me of Naruto’s Sasuke and I hated Sasuke.

At first Lucy annoyed me too but I started to like her very much during the"Phantom Lord"(ep 21-29)in which her background story is revealed and"Loke"arc(ep 30-32).However"Tower Of Heaven"was the arc in which Fairy Tail started to get epic,the plot was awesome,Jellal was a good villain and it was great to see Erza's background story and the other aspect of her personality,her character actually develops very much during this arc.Since,you like Cana,you should definitely watch the"Tenrou Island"arc because it is focused on Cana,her background story and the reason why she is determined to become an S-class wizard.In my opinion it is the best Fairy Tail arc,the plot is awesome,the villains are awesome and hard to defeat and I love the fact that it focuses on the more minor characters.
Cana is the character that had me sticking around but she didn’t seem present very often. Perhaps I should just skip to Tenrou Island. I might be a little confused but whatever.

The villains of Magic Knight Rayearth are pretty good.However the reason why I consider MKR superior to other magical girl animes is because of the plot twist at the end that nobody could have seen coming.
Yeah, I liked that one chick, Alcyone, I think. She seemed cool. All of the villains kind of did. Is the plot-twist that the bad guys win lol?

I love Sailor Moon it is one of my favorite magical girl animes.When it comes to the villains I like them better in the anime than in the manga especially the Black Moon arc.The villains are pretty good.I love Beryl and Galaxia both in the manga and the anime.When it comes to Nehelenia I like her better in the anime because they gave her a background story.I also like Demande in the anime but he was rather one dimensional in the manga.I also like Nephrite,Kunzite and Zoisite in the anime.I only liked the Ayakashi sister in the episodes in which they were reformed.I also like the other villains but those that I mentioned are the only ones that are memorable to me.
It’s probably my favorite magical girl anime. It was definitely my first and the thing that introduced me to anime; though I didn’t know it at the time. Beryl was amazing. But as mentioned above I liked Nehelenia the most, she has a special place in my heart. Galaxia was cool too though. I’ve only really read the first one of the mangas, I should try to read the rest; I just don’t have the money.l Zoisite was also really cool.

I also have respect Iginio for creating a show that was an important part of my childhood but I just hate the fact that his greed ruined Winx Club.
I think it’s really important in general to create a show that makes memories. That’s part of the reason I want to be an author; I want to create something people can escape to and something that people can be like “that brings me good memories”, ya know?

It is quite obvious to me that Iginio wanted to end Winx Club with"The Secret of the Lost Kingdom"movie but somebody must have suggested to him that it is better to continue Winx Club,he also became tempted by the money and was probably afraid that without Winx Club he wouldn't be relevant anymore and thats why he decided to continue it.As for Iginio starting a new series,he actually has created another series called"Huntik: Secrets & Seekers"it is more of an action fantasy series that is targeted more towards boy than girls.I saw some episodes of it and it is actually pretty cool.However it ended after two seasons and wasn't nearly as successful as Winx Club.
That’s the impression I got as well. I saw the first two movies. I kind of resent them though for opening the door to shitty CGI. I never really cared for the CGI style—I think it can be cool sometimes but I’m so picky about it and Winx doesn’t cut it for me. I mean the fear makes sense but I think sometimes ya gotta take risks. I’ve heard of Huntik, never really got around to watching it. Perhaps that’s why he doesn’t want to take risks?


I would entirely blame Nick for it because they didn't hold a gun to Iginio head by telling him"You have to turn Winx Club into a crappy series that is only suited for 5 year old girls or else we will kill you".Nick also didn't have total control over Winx Club,all that they did was giving suggestions to Iginio and it was only his fault for accepting them.Although Nick actually gave one good decision telling Iginio that Roxy shouldn't become a Winx Club member because lets be honest 6 members are already enough.Also,have you seen season 7?Before this season was created Iginio ended the partnership with Nick but the season still ended up being a complete mess even worse than season 5.
I mean yeah, no one forced him to do it. But Nick seems to have a huge hold on show that it picks up. When it had Legend of Korra on air it wasn’t as dark as when they only put it online. After removing it from Nick (minus online) the creators had a chance to get super dark so I think Nick really does have a pretty strong hold on its shows. Now I think he should have been able to work with the age restriction but I feel like it’s super hard to do so with a young target audience; there isn’t much you can slide under the radar as you would be able to with a target age of 7 to 10 or something. That’s where I grant him leeway. But yeah I’m glad they didn’t add another Win member. Too many, especially since there are only three Trix and maybe one new partner who usually gets disposed of. I have not seen season 7, I didn’t even know it aired in English. And also I heard the Trix weren’t in it until the end so I wasn’t gonna go out of my way to find it.

To be honest I wouldn't really like to be an author.It is a rather hard job that isn't really appreciated especially now that everyone seems to give authors a really hard time if they don't like their stories,just take Stephanie Meyer for example,I agree that Twilight isn't a good book series(although it isn't even half as bad as people make it out to be) but she didn't deserve all the insults that she got.
It’s true. But that’s kind of one of those things I’ve been prepping myself for. It’s kind of sad really; I mean I love my technology but it really takes away from the appreciation of a good book that can whisk you away to a new time and place. And that’s kind of sad to me. I mean I really hated Twilight but I wouldn’t go out of my way to bash Meyer. The Host was pretty solid. And the ‘Twiheavy’ jokes were just outright rude.

I know that this makes me sound like a hypocrite because I have criticized Iginio many times but I didn't criticize him because of his original story but because he was so consumed with greed that he has ruined his own story by unnecessarily extending it,he even ruined all the characters because of it.Also,these days its really hard to please people with a character.
I don’t think it’s hypocritical. I mean you aren’t rude when critiquing. There’s positive and rude criticism. And yours seems to be fair and positive. That’s where I draw my issue with him. His works were fine until money-lust seemed to take hold. And with it all of the character disintegration.

If the character is weak they are going to hate him or her for being useless but if a characters is too strong they are again going to hate him or her for being unrealistic.Also almost every writers these days is accused of writing a Mary Sue.I just hate it how Mary Sue lost its original meaning and became a word for describing a character that people dislike.
I think a good character requires balance; not too strong not too weak. But one can totally stray from that, the character’s flaw could be ‘weak’ but it has to be well-written if that makes sense. See I do think Mary-Sue is overused (same with overrated, good lord I’ve grown to hate that word). However Bloom is one character that I refuse to not call a Sue. I think my reasons for thinking so are justified. I’ve found many definitions of the word and she fits them all. Bella Swan too. But then characters like Ginny, Hermione, and Harry Potter who are also called Sues I can’t really see that.

"I do like ancient China :P I enjoy the fantasy type stuff. Is it Magical girl? I feel like I’ve heard of nakago before, I think I actually might have heard of this one, just didn’t get around to watching it. Though I might be thinking of a different Nakago."
I wouldn't call it a magical girl series because the girls don't have any magic power(well expect Soi who's one of the enemies)however it does have magic in it.About Nakago,you are probably remembering some of the"Fushigi Yuugi character vs Winx characters"polls I did a while ago when I was bored.Nakago was in two of them,he is also part of my"My favorite animated antagonists.Which one do you like the most"poll.
"That’s another thing I can shoot for. Comedy and darkness in one package. That’s the kind of stuff I like to write. I’m all about mature themes, honestly. If it has a gruesome death in it I’ll probably like it lol. Is it Blood C level gruesome? "
I don't know if we have the same sense of humor but I find most of the jokes to be hilarious.About the gruesome part I think that I overdid it lol.Its not in the horror level of gruesome that you are probably expecting but the deaths of are still gruesome nonetheless.The darkest parts happen in the last 26 episodes.
"That’s another thing I can get behind. Balance of power and not being very clearly partial to the good guys is kind of key for me. Oh that’s cool, I think the media could use some more badass transsexual characters that aren’t comedy figures."
Yup I love balance of power as well.It makes the whole plot more interesting.To my surprise in the last 18 episodes the author was more partial to the bad guys.Seriously,during this time the heroes totally failed after all the hard work and sacrifices.Nakago could have easily won in the end if the author wanted it but she probably thought that a fantasy series in which a bad guy would win would become to controversial and not successful enough so she decided to let the good guys win.Funnily enough,I afterwards discovered that Nakago was actually her favorite character and that she wrote a light novel focused on his life that I am planning to read(along with the Genbu Kaiden prequel)as soon as I have free time too.
As for the transsexual character Nuriko,there are some jokes about his sexuality in the series but he still is a badass character.I think that you will really like him.
"Cana is the character that had me sticking around but she didn’t seem present very often. Perhaps I should just skip to Tenrou Island. I might be a little confused but whatever. "
You should definitely watch the Tenrou Island arc.This is the only arc in which Cana is in the main focus and you will find Cana's character even more interesting after finding out her background story.The overall plot is also awesome.I am sure that you will also like the villains and probably enjoy the action scenes.You are going to be a little confused because you haven't seen the previous story arcs but it wont a big problem for you to understand it.
"I mean yeah, no one forced him to do it. But Nick seems to have a huge hold on show that it picks up. When it had Legend of Korra on air it wasn’t as dark as when they only put it online. After removing it from Nick (minus online) the creators had a chance to get super dark so I think Nick really does have a pretty strong hold on its shows"
As I said before it is Iginio's fault.If he would be a good author that respects his own work than he would be like"Fuck off,this is my story and I wont let you turn it into some stupid shit.If you like it the way it is than fine,if you don't like it than I will find another company to co-produce it".That would have been my reaction and what you wrote in your previous comments that if you would be an author you wouldn't water down you writing style to cater to a stupid TV channel.Frankly,I can't blame Nick about it either because they are forced by the USAs idiotic Censorship Laws to not put anything dark in their shows.Just take a look at the Nick cartoons from the 90's in which it was easier to put things that are a little dark in cartoons.Hey Arnold is the best example of a truly good series that was:Arnold's parents died when he was a child and he is raised by his grandparents,Helga is neglected by her parents and her mom is an alcoholic,Curly is a total psycho.There were many more mature themes in it like in"Arnold's Christmas"you have the sad story of Mr. Hyunh who lived in Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon.When American troops were evacuating South Vietnamise citizens, there was only room on the last helecopter for one more person, so Mr. Hyunh gave up his infant daughter so she could lead a better life in America.Also the whole episode about Lila who everyone hated because she was little miss perfect but than they find out that her father doesn't have a job,so they're destitute and live in the bad part of town, living off of beans and 'canned meat substitute'.Also in another episode Helga stops her sister from marrying a cheater.Also in the"Ghost Bride"episode they tell the story of a woman who after being left in the altar and finding out that her fiancee left her so that he could marry her sister,becomes insane and kills her ex-fiancee and sister with an axe and than when the police came to take her she killed herself by jumping off the window.Also the"Headless Cabbie" story was a reference to the Sleepy Hollow story(headless dude).Hell,even freaking Spongebob that was always a comedy cartoon wasn't afraid of getting a little dark at times(in one episode they think that they killed a sanitary inspector and almost accidentally buried him alive).

"You didn't, I've just been kind of busy irl"
Its okay.I can understand that you're busy.Just don't forget to reply when you have enough free time.

Yeah I will. I just moved back into my college dorm too so it's been a little crazy. As mentioned before my laptop doesn't want to hook up at the college either. Tech support is supposed to help me on Tuesday. I'll hopefully have some time to respond more adequately then.

The thing is I don't want to leave a comment that's rushed and of poor quality. I'd rather wait 'til I have time to post something well-thought-out.

still waiting for a reply lol
