ahhh this was so much fun!! I really hope we do this again for the winter season because it actually got me off my butt and iconning new shows in fact I went completely overboard omg

Gonna note down my faves from everybody rn:

alisea_dream

super pretty colouring! I absolutely love what you did with the Shelter cap, and I'm bowing down to you for working w/ those Sound!Euph close cropped caps because I tried and failed so miserably that I had to destroy all evidence.

cool_spectrum

Ahh your compositions are gorgeous and I am IN LOVE with your Yuri on Ice icon, like I'm gonna have to add it to my userpics right after I'm done typing this comment tbh because it's so damn pretty.

emiels

omg that COLOURING THO. The Yuri Plisetsky icon is the cutest thing I've seen in my life, and I'm in love with this Victuuri icon and am getting married to it after episode 12 with Georgi as my best man.

I am loving the bright lighting and colouring in your FlipFlap icon, and the lighting in your Girlish Number icon is so gorgeous as well. The way you've incorporated text into your Yuri on Ice icon is so cool and really makes the composition!

sietepecados

omg I am BOWING DOWN to the lighting in your Girlish Number icon, it's so gorgeous and dramatic! I really love how you incorporated colour into the MCILAL icon as well, and your Sound!Eupho icons are so bright and pretty like jewels! ♥

aight i'll stop gushing now

Thank you ♥
I'd love to do it again for Winter 2017, but the problem is... I'm not interested in watching any Winter 2017 shows and I don't think I could get motivated to host a battle full of shows I'm not into :| Hopefully there will be a couple of great shows with horrible summaries/previews...

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

to be honest, I know the feeling. There are like... 5 shows I'm thinking of watching? And some of those I'm still not sure on? Really hoping that there are some pleasant surprises because usually I can find ~10 shows to watch per season. :/

5 is more than I have in a good season, heh. It's probably nostalgia goggles, but lately it feels like the quality of anime has gone down a lot, and I'm happy whenever I find 2-3 shows to watch in a season... and even then, I rarely stick with them till the end, because it takes two boring eps to make me drop a show :|
I'm still hoping winter will surprise us though, because I'd love to do another battle!

Thank you so much! Sound!Eupho caps are so cute, and I love how soft they look, and it's so fun to make icons from them! :)

I'm so excited that you like one of my icons enough to use it... words fail, actually XD
