Issue #2

[4thseal]

Here is issue #2 to of Naruto and Bleach Mania's Exposed. I'd like to thank the staff for their continued interest in this News Letter and all their hard work.

Issue #2 is exciting: there are interviews with the Moderator zoeygirl and the member DragonLink^^. We have forum news, contest, debate, and role playing coverage, some cool reviews, and last but not least Cuddles is back to give advice to some members in need of it.

So, check it out and enjoy! As always, your comments are appreciated and welcomed.

Hey, this is a great issue! It's got a little of everything, and is more organized than last time. I think its almost everything you could want out of a newsletter.

I like how you guys talk about all the interesting things going on in the forum, and you do so in a way that's objective and fair

I found the newsletter to be informative and it's obvious you guys put in a lot of time. I really hope you keep making newsletters like this

Btw, I'm glad you guys decided to keep anime/manga/music reviews. It's so nice to read other people's thoughts about these things, instead of looking for stuff online that is heavily biased or contains too many spoilers

[Arukas]

Nice job guys, Enjoyed the D Gray man review, as well as the interviews.

and the last page image was in good taste as well. lol

Also alot more organized than our first one. =p

Still a bit disappointed that I am not allowed to be part of this - though I commend those who did contribute, awesome job - look forward to the next.

[Bops]

Awesome.

Major Props to Fresh for those interviews. Best thing this issue imo. Not to worry though Yachi, your section still my fav. in these newsletters.^^;

Liked the music highlight as well. Found something new to listen to. Overall a 10/10 improvement from last month. Very subsidized, but it still packs everything in.

Gratz on 2nd release. ^^;

[Leroy]

brilliant work really loved the interviews

[b@st@rd]

GJ, since im not into anime or manga the interviews were best for me, too bad the people being interviewed suck, but i guess with all the info in there i can now troll them better.

[OD Funk]

I liked this issue.

Favourite part : Dragonlinks Interview, that guy swears nearly as much as me, but not quite there yet.

Worst part: There wasn't one!

[superbob]

good job on this one guys, more organized and a lot more condensed. The anime and manga reviews were meh, i didn't read them mostly because they're not my focus of energy, but the interviews were good.

keep up the good work guys

[Bradjune1980]

You guys better slow down its almost like a real magazine.

Though I am sure everyone loves the articals, i loved the Cleaned up look and choice of format and headers. Getting those minor things correct takes it to the next level and not a hack job. So major props to you all I was looking for you to improve those things. And look forward to next issue even more. Keep up the fantastic work.

And you can use this in a portfolio.

Again loved the interviews, and the diversity of the mags subjects.

Think the Anime/manga reviews could be improved. (just a bit picky on this, lol) Just felt to short. give shadownin more space lol.

And low and Behold my surprise to be In this issue. Thanks guys I was actually very surprised by this. Thanks everyone and the NM staff.

And ill make up that formal debate thing to you at some point 4thseal in some fashion. I promise.

[Atem]

You guys are getting good fast.
I liked Zoey's interview. Good job everyone.

Yeah, we suggested page lengths for articles in order to keep the issue at a decent length -- 80 was too overwhelming. Reducing the page length means cutting out articles and imposing stricter guidelines for article length. It was suggested that the reviews be shorter, but if readers want more thorough reviews, that is something the staff will consider for the next issue.

Thanks for your feedback (and thanks to everyone else who commented).

[Apoo]

I thought it was great, surpassed my expectations by far. The difference between issue 1 and 2 is shocking--it really looked like you guys put a lot of effort into this one it showed big time.

A suggestion: I'm not sure how this would work, buy maybe you guys can add a preview of next months newsletter towards the end, like a little tease of what's coming to keep us in line lol. That's about the only thing I felt could have been added, the rest was great. The organization was very good, and I liked how you guys kept it brief, and provided links to people if the want it to read more about the topic. Major props to Fresh for his interviews, they were fantastic.

I love that anime and manga reviews were kept in, and I would hope Hunter x Hunter is a featured manga sometime soon XP. Oh, and btw Kai0x is not the only Dolphins fan left

Overall 10/10 Great job! Can't wait for the next one.

I am sadly familiar with such things, and word count and such annoying things from previous jobs, It was partially in jest. I just wanted more cause im greedy about things I like. I love you guys doing this for everyone. The girls of course more then the boys of course .

As im sure the mag is about Naruto Maina as a whole and not just Anime and Manga. And i like that it explores things going on in the community as a whole. I love the interviews the most actually.

[OD Funk]

Okay, I take it back, I do have one mother fucking complaint bout this issue, the SS report, why was the 7th left out of the whole, battling on the front lines in the human world, you mention the 11th and Zoeys forces fighting there, but not the 7th, what is that about? the whole reason they're fighting there is to atone for their past sins, it's a vital part of the god damn plot...

bah, that's gotten under my skin.

[4thseal]

It was most likely due to me setting a length requirement for the SS report. So, I apologized. I will make sure that the 7th devision is covered in the next report. =)

[Nat]

good issue.. getting better

[Pookie]

my name was in there... I can die happy.

[kai0x]

thanks for the comments everyone and lol good to know tony

[kafukai]

Nice job all of you! I really impressed, it's like to read a real magazine.
I was little bit disappointed - It was too short, next time I would to read more pages and again good job guys!

[ShadowNIN]

...i had very little room and there is a lot of stuff to sum up...also the interview was place on that page too...the first was 3 pgs and the 2ld time it was half come on that tends to happen to sux it...lol jk..but yea i did forget to add that sry...my bad...

im a bit longwinded from my Role playing...but i just couldnt...i had to some up a lot of stuff i wanted to talk more about...that made me sad...but im glad people like that...

that makes me happy and yes ill do hunter x hunter on the next issue...as i said before at the end...just post on suggests and that will work...ill watch it this month...kk
