| I'm sorry dianne-chan, but Zettai Karen Children began airing in spring of 2008. We need series from spring/summer 2009. I'm sorry but your icons are invalid :( |

| I'm working on entries... not done them yet, but will edit this reply when I am. The reason I am replying is to let SawlSeki know that, unfortunately, her entry doesn't fit the rules. Although the anime did begin this year, the manga goes back to 2002, while the rules state that it must have begun no earlier than 2006. It's a beautiful avatar (Edward looks so much more mature with his hair down :3), but it doesn't count, sad to say. :( |

Since the image is from an episode of the new anime she's clear. I thought about that too, Goldmare, and thanks for letting me know, but yeah, since the original image really is a screenshot from FMA:B I thought it would be fine ;____; I'll ask Kineta about it, thanks both though :) |
 Hitagi Senjougahara - Bakemonogatari original image. Theme: alone  Ein - Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ original image. Theme: assassin/death honestly,this theme was not that much fun for me... |

RaitoTheReaper said: Ugh, I misread the rules. I thought that the icon had to use an anime that had begun this year, and that the manga version of the anime (if there was one) couldn't have begun earlier than three years ago.This rule is only active if she were to use an image from the original manga, I do believe. Since the image is from an episode of the new anime she's clear. Now I feel stupid. D: SawlSeki said: Yeah, you're the one who was right, and I was wrong. Sorry about that! >_<I thought about that too, Goldmare, and thanks for letting me know, but yeah, since the original image really is a screenshot from FMA:B I thought it would be fine ;____; I'll ask Kineta about it, thanks both though :) I think I'll go make my supper... >_> |

LucySky said: If the screenshot is from the second season, then yes it does :)I hope the second one counts..does it matter if the series is a sequel? Let me know if it's not allowed ;) Zero said: I'm sorry you feel that way ^^; We try to do the choice theme bi-yearly as it gives you guys a chance to choose whatever theme you like. If people really dislike it then we can cancel it...honestly,this theme was not that much fun for me... |

If people really dislike it then we can cancel it...honestly,this theme was not that much fun for me... don't worry :) i am sure that there are plenty of people who like this. the only thing i did not really like and found it to be quite troublesome was the Spring/Summer session restriction,i had nothing against the rest . |

Let me know if it's not allowed ;) Yep, I'm pretty sure it is since I found it in an anime blog post for episode 18 of season 2. But yeah, I agree with Zero about the Spring/Summer anime restriction being kind of tricky. I didn't really watch/enjoy that many of those shows so it was hard to think of something haha xD |
