Watched/Expected/Got

Don't worry, there's plenty of time for MORNING RESCUE END in the next two movies.

What exactly is this Morning Rescue (or Lescue) meme?

Madoka Magica meme, where cetain fansubbers keep in a commerical that was popular at the time of Madoka Magica's airing. It's this video:

Too lazy to make a picture, but part of my mind, unconsciously thought that Haruhi Suzumiya was shallow high school comedy. After watching the genre defying anime, i wanted to slap my past self with a huge rock.

What most likely made that meme popular is that the commercials are so violently cheerful compared to the show itself.

(If you're not sure what that expected picture is look here)◊

Also.◊

Anime version of Naruto vs Pain!◊

I exaggerated though. There were well animated parts too.

I actually found that to be awesome. It's like Ren And Stimpy or Diebuster level of insane animation.

I couldn't take Anime!Pain seriously after this.

Meh, I never took him seriously to start with.

So here's mine for Library War (Toshokan Sensô): http://reymma.deviantart.com/art/Watched-Expected-Got-300466166

I'd like to add more, but this one took far longer than it should. Why is Adobe Photoshop Elements so counter-intuitive?

In what way is PS Elements counter-intuitive? (/totally offtopic)

It doesn't let me copy elements in the picture (that I can select with ease), only whole pictures as far as I can tell. (And I checked for "duplicate" or "clone" commands.) Also I can't navigate the layers, where in the UI does it show what layer I'm on and how to quickly access the others? And how do I resize evenly a shape? (I can use the mouse, but neither alt nor ctrl make it keep proportions, and the only "resize" command I can find affects the whole picture.) And where do I set the border size and color for the geometric shape tool?

Overall, I think the program works in most respects for someone who knows it, but it's very difficult for a beginner even when consulting F1 help. And I'm a fairly tech-savvy person, I can build a basic website in Wordpress.

Or it may be that I need the full version. There's a catch-22 here, I don't want to spend money until I know I can use the software, and the trial periods are too short to get used to, because I don't use graphic designs that often. Can anyone point me to an open-source program that has all the basics needed to draw and manipulate pictures?

Try GIMP or Paint.NET. They are generally the most popular free bitmap graphic editors for Windows.

If you want to be able to rearrange elements of the image, keep them on separate layers. This is the primary purpose of layers in Photoshop. (Dunno what else you thought they'd be for...) Copying these elements should be of no issue once they are in separate layers. Also, I think alt can copy selected areas too, by holding alt then clicking and dragging... however, this copies to the same layer.

I hope this is the same in PS Elements, but once you have the Layers window open (which should be in Window>Layers if it's not already active), then click a layer in that menu. If there is any visual difference then that will tell you what it is. (The CS versions of Photoshop all have such differentiations)

Hold shift to keep proportions. Holding shift and alt together should keep proportions while aligning all resizes to the centre of the area being resized.

Sadly, that border size stuff is almost certainly different from in the CS versions of Photoshop, and I haven't used PS Elements in years.

Graphic design and webpage design are two entirely different things, for some reason I haven't figured out. I'm doing a Graphic Design course, and while the teacher in charge of all the multimedia classes likes to pretend otherwise, they really are very different.

The afore-mentioned program GIMP is one I am somewhat familiar with, and has in large part the same functions and accessibility as full-version Photoshop... only with a bunch of stuff in even more unintuitive places. If you feel that that's all you'll need though, then I'm sure you'll get used to it... so long as you don't go back to using Photoshop. It's confusing to try and use both.

You pros and your photoshop. I'll stick to my microsoft powerpoint.

Saki Achiga-hen episode 5. Kuro should have gotten at least 2nd place
Upotte!! episode 5. Ambiguous white fluid O_O
Saki. I honestly did not get any yuri vibes until Momo's background and then I only realized it when she "confessed". Only when I rewatched the series was I able to see all the yuri flags.
Almost forgot this, for Cube x Cursed x Curious. Totally shocked at its contents since I was one of those rare idiots who watched only the first episode, saw the censoring and decided to wait for the B Ds, only to learn the horrifying disturbing truth.

coughs RISE! RIIIIISE!

Not mine, but by an acquaintance for the recently-concluded AKB0048 series.◊

I... do not understand that image.

I am utterly baffled as well.

Clearly is trying to say "expected typical moe show/idol placement playing out much like Macross 7 with j-pop, got EPIC VALIANCY TO THE STARS OF AWESOME" or so. I personally am unsure of that show myself, but...it has weirdly good reception, so might check it out.

And my own personal one: Rinne no Lagrange◊

Expected: pretty vapid moe thing with nonsensical subtext and giant robots mixed in. Got: really, really, really compelling and thoughtful show with its fair deal of epicness, lots of OH CRAP moments, very good character development and relationship building far better than other yuri things, and generally being one of the best shows I've ever seen.

That's what I got as well. AKB 0048 at first glance, looked all but a placement ad for a real-life idol group with some of Macross thrown in. It turned out in the end to be a nice, if still goofy, show about friendship, dreams, and a bit of identity thrown in. Oh, and militarized IDOL OTAKU WITH MICRO-MISSILE LIGHT STICKS AND MIKESABERS.

micro-missile light sticks and mikesabers?

/me puts it on watchlist

Will you continue updating the list on the first post, Magus?

Okay, updated to this post.

Just finished Basquash!
