Notes:
These galleries use a javascript feature which does not work in Firefox. I suggest you use Internet Explorer if you want to view my galleries. I apologize for any inconvenience. Also note that my galleries were designed on a computer using a 1024x768 screen resolution.
I rather wanted to do a gallery of anime and manga girls on my website for years before I ever got started. Which means there's lots of animes I've seen in the past that aren't well (if at all) represented here. Some of them probably never will be, much to my disappointment. Others almost certainly will be eventually (some such series already have grossly inadequate galleries here, which are most likely labelled *H, for Hiatus; see labelling guide below). Still, in the time since I've started the galleries, this section has grown more than I ever would have expected. It's still not nearly as comprehensive as I'd like, and probably never will be. But seriously... I sometimes kind of think it's already almost too big. Or at least it takes up way too much of my time....
Anyway, mostly I make screencaps (and a few scans) myself, which mostly come from TV (or Toonami Jetstream). Which means there may be network logos or advertising on many caps, for which I apologize. Ah, would that I could afford to buy a million DVDs... But anyway, I'll also use some images I find at various other websites, and whatnot. Each page should have at the bottom "Image Source Credits," which will tell you where the images on that page came from, though I may sometimes forget to mention something. Well, I hope you enjoy the galleries, and please feel free to steal any caps or scans I've made myself, as I believe in sharing the wealth; just don't link to them here, okay?
Oh yeah, I should also mention that I intend to include girls from some shows and things that aren't really anime... they'll be under the different nationality headings on this page.... Also note that each gallery should have a link leading to my review of that gallery's show/movie/manga/whatever. And about "with"... alot of the time my links will have a "with" in parentheses, saying who else is in the image. I decided to cut back on this, and don't do it much at all in the newer galleries. Someday I should go back and remove these labels from the older galleries, as well. Though I may occasionally leave up a few of these labels, for some reason....
Pan-ups:
Sometimes I'll make caps that I paste together for pan-ups (or pan-downs, pan-rights, pan-lefts, pan-ins, whatever.) Originally I would mention this next to such pictures in each gallery, but I've decided to stop labelling them, to save space and stuff. So some of the newer galleries won't mention pan-ups, and someday I expect I'll remove such labels from images in the older galleries, as well. But I should also mention, some pan-ups will be reduced in size to fit the screen, while others are not. Occasionally when I resize a pic, I'll also include a link to the full size image. So, in parentheses after the link to the smaller pic, will be a link which says "full." Also, some images will be so large that I set the link to open in a new window, rather than the iframe. Sometimes I may label such things, sometimes not.
I also need to mention that some pan-shots will be difficult or impossible to make, which frustrates me. There may be any number of inconsistencies as the image on the show moves... it may change perspective or zoom in as it pans up, the coloration or background may be different, the clothes or hair or things may move around, so that it's impossible to exactly match it up in my composite. Whatever the problem, I always do the best I can. Sometimes I end up just giving up, other times I accept inconsistencies or imperfections. Sometimes I find ways to deal with such things. And then again, sometimes things work out perfectly, with luck, skill, and patience.
Abbreviations:
There are a number of screencaps in my various galleries which may have labels to provide a certain bit of information, but of course such labels take up space on the page, which can be annoying. So these days I try to abbreviate some labels, and remove some altogether (such as "pan-up" or the names of other characters in the image). Of course, many older pages here may still have the old labels that I haven't gotten around to changing, but so that you can know what the new abbreviations mean, here's a list. I may be forgetting some, I'm not sure. If I think of any more, I'll add them later....
ani: "animated gif" Warning:
While I don't intend to include any pictures that I would say are exactly explicit in terms of sex, nudity, or anything (though in some cases there might be links to other sites which might include such things)... some of the images in these galleries might be slightly risqué, or in some other way not entirely appropriate for all viewing ages, so... discretion is advised, okay? But while I'm on the subject of sexiness, it should be noted that some of the girls in the galleries will be here just because they're cute, not because they're sexy. Because... some of them may be too young, or whatever (a quandary which is only slightly abated by the fact that they don't actually exist).... But I don't think there's anything wrong with appreciating the cuteness of a kid, in an innocent way.
I should also mention that, age-appropriate or not, I take a certain degree of... oh, let's say pride or something similar... in the appreciation of many of these images for more than just the attractiveness of the girls themselves. Alot of it is about the artwork. Images can be funny, or cool, or sad, dramatic, or moving in any number of different ways... sometimes I care just as much about the background as I do the actual subject of an image, as well... So major kudos to the many talented artists who draw the anime I love so much. Heck, even the stuff that's just silly or even childish can be pretty damn good....
Updates:
I'm afraid the gallery project is too big and constantly ongoing to make note of specific updates here, but if you're interested, I usually mention which galleries I've made new additions to in my blog. Well, actually, I'm going to try doing an updates folder in my Pokemon (major characters) gallery, where I'll leave caps for maybe a week or so before moving them to their regular place in the gallery. Maybe at some point I'll start doing this with other galleries here, but only ones that use descriptive links rather than simple number links....
