Frequently Asked Questions:

I'm lucky in that I get a lot of decent feedback from you i.e. the guys 'n gals whom actually bother to visit this site.  I am, however, often asked the same questions, so in order to make life a little easier for both myself and you lot, I've put together this page in order to lay to rest those common offenders.

Q - Can I link to your site?
A - Absolutely! If you want to link to the site then feel free to do so, all I ask is that you use the button graphic I've created below for your link. Please upload the button graphic below to your own web space when making your link, i.e. don't link directly to the button graphic on this page else you'll slow down this site as well as your own.

Q - Why doesn't blah blah blah link work?
A - There are no unintended dead links in the site, I check them regularly. Those links that don't work are simply due to the fact that I haven't created the HTML that they're supposed to link to yet.  I work all day from 9:00 to 5:30 and have to endure a 2 hour round trip to work and back, when I get home I'm nackered. I also try to get out as much as possible during weekends so you must appreciate that my time for the site these days is extremely limited. I don't get paid for any of this, I do it cos I enjoy it so please don't send me email to the effect of "Why haven't you done blah yet?!?!?!?", These things take time.

Q - Why don't you make more guides to other popular Anime?
A - Well, when I've finished the existing ones perhaps I will. If there are any decent writers out there who would like to write for the site then please do get in touch. You will be credited for any work you produce, but it's got to be of a decent quality.

Q - Can you send me some images of...?
A - Sorry, but if I were to send images out to everyone that asked me this question then I wouldn't get anything else done on the site. Besides copyright forbids this. :)

Q - Where's the music?
A - Sorry again, but copyright, server space and bandwidth pretty much rule out the possibility of music featuring in the site. In addition many people find music irritating in web sites, myself included, usually because quality is crud and track lengths are too short.

Q - Why does your site take ages to download?
A - Have you checked out the graphics at all? Well there ya go! One of the main reasons I put these sites together is because I love designing them in the first place. I have no intention of reducing image quality through further JPEG compression as this will ruin the crispness of the imagery used throughout the site. If you can't hack those 5 second waits then I'm afraid you'll just have to go else where.

Q - Why didn't you warn me of those spoilers?
A - If you were dead set against taking a sneak  peak at what happens further on in the Anime in question, then you would have never visited a web site such as my one to begin with. Yes the site contains spoilers, but I can't point them all out, I'm not a god! It's like censorship, which I happen to be completely against. You either choose to visit or you don't, it's your call.

Q - Why won't you email me back?
A - It would help if you gave me your correct email address! It's not difficult to do... I'm probably being a bit harsh here, though the number of times I write a reply, click on the send button and then get "Error - Could not send!", "Invalid email address!" etc... is ridiculous.

Q - Can I chat with you day in day out?
A - Well... although I'd love to, I just don't have the time. If I get a bit of free time then it's nice to spend it on the site as opposed to relentlessly writing email to people who I've never even met. I want to continue to advance the site and fill it with useful content, I don't wanna get bogged down in site admin.

Q - Can I steal your work?
A - Please don't! Whilst I can't really stop you, this stuff takes a lot of effort to make, have at least some respect. If people continue to steel the graphics I've painstakingly put together in Adobe Photoshop then I will not bother doing it anymore. Some of you have informed me that the site's been ripped off several times already, graphics stolen, synopsis copied etc... Well, for the informants, thanks! I appreciate you telling me this, as for the thieves, grow up and use your own bloody initiative and imagination - if you have any!

Q - Where did the flying Angel battling Unit 01 in the NGE gallery come from?
A - Thanks to Frosty @ flappingbat@hotmail.com for the answer to this little mystery: It's the result of a contest that GAINAX setup back in 1996. Basically, the contest was "design an angel", and the winner would get their Angel drawn up officially. That angel was the winner. The core is on its head, and there's something called its "charm spot" around the middle.

Q - Who's the gal on your main page, you know the one with the purple hair?
A - That is Yuri from Dirty Pair and the sequel Dirty Pair Flash...she does undergo a bit of a character redesign for the sequel and I can't rember if this is the original character design or not, so if you find a slightly different portrayal of her then that's why.

Q - No not her, who's the other gal on your main page?
A - Arrrr......right, that one's Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop.
