Hi!

Awesome! Thanks for the post, or else I would've never known.

Oh nice! My favorite is a Bohemian Rhapsody take on the opera in FFVI. It's well crafted and beautifully performed by the guys at OC remix.

Wow, man, that's freaking awesome.

Ooooh, okay. Time to practice then!

Thanks! I attempted foreshadowing on the hand guard, so it looks wonky. ^^ Gotta keep trying though.

Thanks for the advice! I'm still struggling with hands, so I'll get more reference pictures next time. Also, I'm afraid my pen died so I couldn't ink it as much as I could've. Again, thank you for taking the time to critique. Also, for Ducky, yeah, now that I look at it more, Sora's eyes are little dim. The mouth is a bad habit of mine to put Chesire cat grins on everyone, so I'll watch out for that too.

The details are a little off on their weapons, but I'm still proud of it. Any suggestions to improve are greatly appreciated.

It's so convoluted and twisted that it might actually be canon.

Pretty good! If you add a bit of shading, it'll be much clearer on what's going on, especially with the trunk full of hats.

Japanese is a pain, yes, but don't grow too complacent after the first few classes. After all, the language course cannot teach you everything. Learning passively while watching anime is actually good - it helps train your ear for the language. If your college participates in any sort of foreign exchange, see if there are Japanese students there to practice with. Conversation skills are incredibly hard to develop if you don't speak it routinely. If there aren't any Japanese students, try to form a group with your classmates and practice conversations with them. My friends and I sometimes call each other see how long we last by speaking Japanese only. Over Facebook, we also message each other in Japanese. I also suggest you practice typing in Japanese. Any computer will have an option in their Language settings that asks if you want a Japanese keyboard. Start typing before you get to class to get your kanji and katakana typing speeds up to make your essays go by much easier. And the best advice I have for you - if you're thinking about any extended stay in Japan or plan to involve yourself in Japanese long-term, I suggest researching the Japanese culture and their lifestyle. This does not include anime, manga, or videogames. One of the main issues with people taking Japanese is that sometimes they don't realize their perception of Japan is Internet stereotype at best. In order for you to effectively communicate, you must understand their background and take it into consideration. For example, some phrases in anime like 行け！(pronounced 'ike', means GO!!!) uses a verb form known as plain command form. The plain command form is quite common in Japanese media, especially in manga and anime, since to conveys the right amount of urgency and power for a desperate situation. However, if you use that phrase in real life, it would be considered extremely forceful and rude. That's enough of my spew. Japanese is a wonderful language to learn despite all its challengers. Though, to be fair, English was actually my second language, and if I wasn't born in America, I would've never gotten the hang of it. So don't worry, you're fluent in one of the world's hardest languages already. (So many danged grammar exceptions and oddities...)

He's happy to try out some new clothes!

Ahaha. I have been neglecting it, haven't I?

It only felt short to me because, in my opinion, they waited until the last world to have all the important cutscenes.The Disney worlds are nice, but I guess I'm more used to KHII's format in which after you finish every world, there's some mysterious scene with the bad guys plotting. Yen Sid's scenes and the flashbacks essentially replaced these, but they contain information that was too...how should I put it... normal. Long story short, it only felt short because they reserved the traditional strange scenes more for the ending instead of spreading them out.
