Silly Questions

[Morrighan]

I think I have the answer!

I think Rose (or Adaon) switched the default back to Solaris since the Knights version was supposed to be a seasonal thing for Christmas-time. So, theoretically, if you enter the site as a guest, you should see the site in Solaris formatting. Once you log in, it should be in the format of your choice. ^_^

Morri's answer is correct!

[Morrighan]

Whoo hoo!

[Omnicat]

Ah, that explains it. Thanks!

Hi! I have a question! I have an official pic that I wanted to put in BIs gallery but I don't know whether it should go in the GW Official Art section or the Escaflowne Official Art section:

Heero and Hitomi

Can anyone tell me?

[blackrose]

What the heck? I guess put it in Esca. Seriously, though, why is Heero standing next to Hitomi?

[Morrighan]

What the heck indeed.

[PeaceWing]

Ok, the Esca it is then
And yeah... this pic is really odd. I found it ages ago on this site that has hundereds of GW scans from various Japanese anime magazines. I'm still not entirely sure why on earth there was a pic of Heero and Hitomi standing next to each other in a magazine. My guess is that since both animes were released around the same time and as they are both licensed by Bandai, it must be some sort of promotional thing.

OR, there is a weird Escaflowne/GW crossover series that we haven't heard about ( j/k)

But why Heero and Hitomi? oooh! Do you think this might mean that there are also pictures of Van and Relena? or Allen and Noin? or even Dilandau and L.Une? <-- that would be really disturbing

Maybe Heero was the archetype for Hitomi? Or perhaps Relena?

Don't talk to me about what came first either! Someone screwed up and was on drugs and they said, "Oh hai gaiz! Let mess wit' dem Esca and Gee DoubleYew fans and put Heero and Hitomi next each udder! We'll say Hitomi inspired Relena or sumfin!"

Whatever. Still doesn't explain why Van's bro was into bestiality. And mullets. Maybe when they made him all their luck ran out?

Pretty Heero though. He's even smiling. <s>Must be thinking about what he did the night before....</s>

Whoa! That pic is crazy! But I just looked at the little j-blurb next to heero, and although i'm not very good at japanese, i could pick up some things. And it's soooo funny that people mention it's weird that Heero's smiling, because it totally says that!!! (mezurashiku hiiro-kun ga waratteru!)

Basically, the title is School Entrance Orienteering and at the beginning it's like ...

Spring is in full bloom! At AD (anime deia? the magazine?) school there are graduations and it's the season to enter school. A rare Heero-kun is smiling!

Then it goes on to talk about how for GW the climax is before our eyes and about taking a backward glance at the graduating groups... and then it looks at the new anime, which I'm guessing is Esca cause it mentions Escaflowne's Hitomi-chan and then at the end it says something about passing the baton. So I guess GW was ending and a new season of anime was starting? And that strange thing Heero is holding is actually supposed to be a baton?

Well, in any case, I'm sure someone who knows more Japanese can translate much better. But I can tell ya they are really into the whole spring/sakura/school/new start season in Japan. I'm just glad Heero is looking happy. I've had to sit through three J-high school graduations and they are actually super serious and pretty boring when you can't understand what's being said!
