I recently became acquainted with (and subsequently obsessed with) the live adaptation/continuation of Detective Academy Q. This thread is to discuss favorite episodes, characters, cases, and whatever else you love about the show~ I suppose I'll allow Yamada Ryosuke fangirling, just this once. Just to start off, I love dark characters and people who must fight their past, so my favorite character is Ryu~ I feel sorry for the detective who Megu regularly uses to get information... My favorite episodes were the final 3, where the whole group had to work together and trust one another, and pretty much any case involving Cerberus <3 or Pluto's involvement~ I love figuring out the cases, but there were a few times where the characters took so long to figure it out that I got a little bored. Parts of the storyline are sad or dark, but Kyu's determined speeches at the end of the case leave hope for the future. ^ SPOILER~!

Here, you can fangirl this picture...

I've seen in the past, especially using OHSHC, pictures and videos where someone simply changed hair and eye colors to make a group of characters into the ones they were interested in. I edited this Ouran High School Host Club photo into the characters from my novel, "Never Forgotten." Surprisingly, it worked pretty well, considering I've never drawn using my computer, and ended up simply using 'Paint,' which on my computer glitches a few times a minute, making the work take a long time~ xD Original: My edit: Changes and notes: Mori: (changed to Osawa Minoru) Hair was changed to brown, eyes to one brown and one blue~ Honey: (changed to Natake Nizo) Hair changed to peach/orange, cute blush added~ Tamaki: (changed to Amari Seiji) Hair changed to darker blonde, blush added~ Kyouya: (changed to Hande Mura) Hair changed to blue-black, blush added~ Hikaru: (changed to Amari Kira) Hair changed to red-orange, eyes changed to blue~ (female in book) Haruhi: (changed to Natake Rin) Hair changed to blue, eyes to green, barrettes added~ Kaoru: (changed to Amari Suki) Hair changed to peach/orange, static added (symbolising her decease)~ (female in book)

Dear Anonymous(es), As a human, I need some privacy. So, when someone like me going through what I'm going through tries to nicely explain that he's definitely, 100% old enough to sleep in his room, I shouldn't get that kind of threatening. If you think about it, to him, it's some kind of using me, using the room. If he isn't even playing in there, he should AT LEAST sleep in it. And stop trying to deny I'm your "test subject" and that he and any other future siblings would be treated the same. Yeah, right. That's the most ridiculous lie I've ever heard. Anyway, while you guys are trying to get the responsible, non-rebellious, technical side of me brought up (which you're failing in, F.Y.I, which only proves I have pretty good acting skills), you're ignoring everything else. What about my emotions? What about how I feel? I'm not the Little Miss Perfect innocent person you think I am, so if you already failed trying to build that side of me, can't you at least realize I'm not an errand-running robot with no emotions and which needs no time to rest? Can't you at least sit there and talk to me? Now that I think about it, do you guys even KNOW ANYTHING about me, how I feel, my personality? It was inside him, you know, everything you think is in me, but now it's just killed because of you guys taking it easy. You think he's the innocent little guy, and I'll tell you what he is: he's a liar, a faker, a guy with a mind like Kira. His faking makes him anything he wants to be. My acting, on the other hand, make me be the happy, no-worries person with a fake smile that people think is a real one because it's the only one they've ever known. I lie to you and act dumb so you guys don't worry much. But I figured you don't worry, not even a little. Don't you think I might need help in anything? Seriously, even saying he's not me? Do you really believe I'm perfect? Yet you still call me irresponsible, you shout at me when he starts crying because he tried hitting me and I blocked that with my arm and his hand happened to clash into that orange bracelet, you blame everything on me because I'm supposedly the mature one, the person who knows everything. You don't even pay attention to the expression on my face when you ask me to do something and I haven't eaten for over 12 hours and was spending the whole day doing all the housework, closing the door on that little hot kitchen so YOU wouldnt be bothered by the smell. If something ever happens to me, I won't be turning to you, rather away from you. Prepare for emotional breakdown. Can't you look or listen to your daughter? Signed, Emotionless errand robot living in your house.

I would prefer less "I have a crush on this DCW member" comments, for the record. Take DCW-related stuff involving specific members up with the specific members instead of airing it out publicly like it's dirty laundry. Thank you.

Do any one felt interest to have artwork pop out like it take another level? It's not impossible! In the past I bounce across to see incredible drawings like they are drawn from engineer, but they're not engineer- only artist, they have drawn endlessly as artists were shown respect for drawings they made for animations and credibility. Don't envy any more! If you're beginner and started on shading, always know the basics first before go for advanced, you're on right step taking forward to next level. I've come across to see incredible drawings in art forum online and many has surpassed my skills, as my major is painting in landscape. Since my diploma years I've studied commerical art drawing skills, surprisingly they are good courses to get started with colours and, shading. But there is a trick: pencils and artist's markers are important to bring out vividness of drawing, after they create artworks they also create contrast well. A lot of artists prefer B and lower to create distant look of object which placing furthest away from eye's point of view. The one closest to you the outline is dark emphasizing closeness and solid object you see right in front. And the artwork has dynamic shading as it was placed with artist's observation to have objects 'stretched'. Normally when objects drawn and shades required in artwork are different matter; it consist of contrast and brightness. When objects are bright, the sun show a lot of shadings. When objects are vivid, the image show detail of thin and bold lines. Many artists use this as advantage to enhance form into 4D effect to challenge and jump into new dimension as drawings and paintings pop out like they make of real item. And which is true! How this apply to drawings? The black dotted line make of size and matter once you create your drawings. Artists use it to create space and bigger forms of outlines. If you see professional drawing which look difficult, artist use a lot of lines' size or vague consistent lines to create effect. Imagine you use the spray to create volume of words onto wall, and word turn bolder. If notice a form has few small series of big black form, they create volume with capacity for realistic effect. If 2B pencil use with 6D pencil, 6B is good for shading and 2B pencil's true colour of contrast between black and white. If 2B colour vividly fill in circle form inside the square, it's in 2D form. If square is filled with shade, it's '4D' form. How many shades you can fill in four sides? If the sun is high up shining at block of square the form has mass and the square below never be shown because it's invisible for realistic effect. If the box tilt, the square bottom will be shown as form, not as a shadow. Lines does matters.

^ This.

Honestly, Dev, the case makes no sense. There's no structure here. I asked you to consult me before posting anything like this.... how hard would it have been to ask across the room for help? If it was childishly obvious, it would be the grandma, as she smokes. If the victim smokes, I don't see why he would have smoked a half a cigarette in the presence of any suspect, as all 3 seem to hate him, and it would be terrible for the ill grandma's health. An obvious choice in this case would be the man who has a 'painful past' as his motive, as you could have him have any measure of hatred for the victim with no solid evidence in the case so far. Another possibility is that the ex-girlfriend left the victim for the other man, and either relayed a dislike of the victim to him, or planned on her own to be rid of him. There are far too many possible theories for this case for it to be solved at the moment~ The cigarette in any case was likely placed, as the grandma would not have murdered the man who was retrieving her medicine if she was so ill that someone else had to get it, especially if they live in the same house and she likely cannot drive or has no car. There is no solid evidence to support any deduction. If you want someone to solve this without just guessing and checking with you, I suggest you release more evidence and clues, or just rewrite it. ADDED: ... =_= Why does the grandma smoke if she is sick and needs medicine?

*gives a hug and this cute monkey*
