Wakfu

@Frenchy. I don't doubt. Fansubs are always hacked together on the fly. But I do appreciate how you went for tone rather than precision and avoided those obnoxious "translators notes". Literal translations have always annoyed me.

EDIT: May as well put it out there, but another adult element I like that they've snuck in there is how damn cynical the show is. Yes, there are genuinely heroic and noble people there. But in Wakfu, goodness and pureness of heart do not guarantee you success in what you do. That's a point the show makes relentlessly and, strange as this may sound, I feel that's a really good moral to have in a kid's show.

Again with the data mining, dear Aunt?

Well, to be fair, I only did the last 5 episodes where there was no real headache-inducing difficulties. Not sure how I could have handled the bread puns in ep.7 or map/card puns in ep.18 without translation notes. Also, on the last 3 episodes, I did the rough scripts, but then some people whose first language was english helped me refine them. I don't want to steal all the credits.

Your humility is commendable. But yes, a thanks also to those who helped you along the way.

Mon Dieu! Here's Eva and Ruel's new designs for season 2: [1]

Ruel's new design is more or less a tweaking of the end of season 1 outfit. Eva... yeah I'll get back to that. I think its the hair that's thrown me for a loop.

Welcome to the Sea of Chaos

I think she looks really cute. :3 The ponytail was hard to draw anyways, and I'm glad she doesn't look like the default Cra character anymore.

I wonder if it's a timeskip? Might as well make more Gurren Lagann parallels, lol.

Ruel looks much cooler, although dare I say I'm disappointed Eva's been given a fanservice downgrade. Goodbye Zettai Ryouiki!

This said, both outfits are a fair bit more practical looking.

Again with the data mining, dear Aunt?

As some people mentioned, her new less fancy outtfit reflects the fact she's mourning someone. Trading fanservice for character development.

Seems a fair trade.

...Am I missing something on that forum? I didn't see any pics?

Fight smart, not fair.

It's right up in the first post. Just takes a little while to load.

Ah, I needed to allow Java script. Well, a Form-Fitting Wardrobe isn't that bad of a costume change.

Fight smart, not fair.

loss of Zettai Ryouiki is never a fair trade

Not even in exchange for Detached Sleeves?

Probably the only part that was made sexier, but they're barely a compensation. They're like the poor man's Zettai Ryouiki.

Much praise to Troper Lock, for working on the Les Gardiens part of the character sheet.

Which reminds me to work. Pictures should be easy; I think I've got the perfect one for Nox◊. And that's where my certainty ends: two◊ options◊ for Rubilax (The first one can be downsized later) and three◊ for◊ Yugo◊. Help?

I finished it. I must say I'm impressed. I especially liked the dragon/robot fight.

Fight smart, not fair.

Thanks, I'm happy to contribute to the Wakfu article in any way possible. And since I liked the idea to analyze Les Gardiens for tropes but it didn't really fit into the main article I arrenged them for the corresponding characters.

If you are talking about the Nox/Grougal' fight in episode 17: Nox is no robot, he just loves the clockwork motif as a Xelor.

Programming and surgery have a lot of things in common: Don't start removing colons until you know what you're doing.

There's actually been a few nerd debates over what exactly Nox is under the bandages and armor. His, ah, ill looking condition at the end of the prequel episode implies a corpse a couple centuries past his expiration date, the mechanical parts in his chest clearly extend past the armor, and then there's the fact that it's said in the game that powerful Xelors actually end up turning into sand...which one wins out?

Gentlemen, I must inform you that a series around Dofus is scheduled around 2013, as well as a feature-lenght movie about Joris set in the Dofus era (yes, the little dude is THAT old). ... what ? ... want some more ? ... Ok then : A feature-length movie is also scheduled in the Wakfu era with the characters from the series for 2014

I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed. If there's anything I've learned from following video games, it's that announcing things years (three kriffin' years) in advance kills anticipation like you wouldn't believe.

On that last one, I wonder if this going to be like a shonen movie and be a gigantic filler episode stand-alone story with an entirely new villain/conflict.

I was expecting that annoucement to come one day or another. Considering the time that it takes to create an animated movie, they must be in the very beginning of conception. Many things could change during that time. I hope that I won't be fed up of Wakfu by 2014, and I sure hope they used traditionnal animation, and no CGI-easy business.

I Squee'ed like a teenage girl for five minutes straight none the less.

And we have our first season 2 character◊, Remington the Shushu hunter. He's apparently meant to advertise a new class being added in the mmo.

With Ankama, you just have to be patient. But in the end, it's totally Worth It.

Wow, I actually feel sorry for the Shushu, they look so freaked out. :<

He'll take Rubi! D:
