New Layout!

10 August 2007

Decided to change my layout on a whim, I’m not sure why. The old layout was actually fine, I just felt like I needed something different. I didn’t do a lot to the new one, just a new header and some color changes. I found the picture on Advancedanime.com and cropped it. The header is a bit too small and it cut out the pretty clouds and the fence in the back, as well as her umbrella, but enough of her fit so that it looked alright. I tried to go for the rotating header thing but it didn’t really work out well…

Anyhow! I just finished torrenting Claymore 19, not sure if I want to watch it now. I’m still preoccupied with identifying armored fighting vehicles. I’m not very knowledgable when it comes to AFVs, but I know enough about tanks to have a non-existent shot at winning. Five volumes of manga is hard to pass up, even if the contest were about nuclear physics, I’ll take it up. My fascination with the second world war is completely useless, until now! And my mother told me my hobbies were pointless wastes of time.

And, yes, sometime later I’m going to get around to finishing my post about DtB. That last arc’s been on my mind a lot, the series as a whole has been on mind a lot. I also started watching Toward the Terra. I found the first six episodes on Veoh.com. Episode seven is missing in action. Episode eight took a million years to torrent. Episode nine is stuck at 80% and refuses to move. Why is it so hard to find the torrents?! I already have a lot to say about the first six episodes and I’m itching to see the rest, but why must it take so long? My heart weeps.

Alright, well, there you have it, new layout. Heh.

    Looks pretty good. If it were up to me I would make the banner a little bigger, but it’s your site, not mine.

    And what’s the deal with torrents anyway? Some episodes you can get in an hour, others take days. You would think that people are watching every episode, and it should take the same amount of time to get each one. lol internet.

    Neat. Love the pastel colours and font combination. I’ve gotta sympathise with the rotating banner thing, it took ages for mine to be fixed.

    I like the new look, “neat” sums it up pretty nicely and it certainly suits your style a little more.

    As for your difficulties in finding torrents for “Towards the Terra”, it got licensed in July so all of the normal places were forced to remove links. ARGH, I’ll see if I can turn up any batch torrents for you.

    Thanks guys! =3, XD

    @BrikHaus – The banner does feel a bit small, but old header was huge so I wanted something smaller.

    I know! It should be the same time, they need a standardized time for all episodes so I won’t have to wait days for Toward the Terra.

    @Owen S – My last layout felt like it was everywhere, so it this one looks ‘neat’, mission accomplished! The colors were probably the reason I picked this layout. It use to be predominantly brown and blue, but I’m didn’t really like the brown, so I replaced it with a shade of blue. I gave up the rotating banner. After an hour or two of wondering why it was just not working, I gave up. I don’t have the determination or brains to figure it out. XD

    @bateszi – Ah! I see! That’s why! It was licensed! Nuuu! Thank you for filling me in on this. I was so scared when DtB got licensed but thankfully someone’s still subbing those. Aw man, no wonder none of the torrents work. If you find a batch torrent, I’ll be in your debt forever…and ever…and ever. That’d save me so much trouble.

    Personally, I’m holding off on Toward the Terra until it finishes and a batch torrent appears on BoxTorrents (oh, you know it will…). Xerox, I meant “neat” as in “awesome”, but I suppose you could say it’s neat in the conventional sense. Heh. 😛

  6. Xerox says:

    @Owen S – I thought about waiting for the batch torrent as well, but Toward the Terra was surprisingly different and I’m totally impatient. Couldn’t help but to watch everything I could find. If you meant ‘neat’ as in ‘awesome’, then all the better! Bigger mission accomplished! Thanks! =D!

    @kauldron – Veoh, the player thing, was evil! Never, ever, ever, ever going near it again. I checked a lot of places, too. Veoh is missing seven, they’re all missing seven! Gah, I hate anime being licensed.
