abuseSomething I haven't mentioned yet, though it applies to all the chapters, there is a lot of detail in your writing. A lot of people find it difficult to add detail in that ammount and I speak from first hand experience.

abuseThey still don't know it's Regulus, but I'm sure it won't be too much longer.

abuseExcellent. Although I have only played B64 and Hero, I don't think it will be too hard to understand.

abuseYou're posting from somewhere you shouldn't be, I'm reviewing from somewhere I shouldn't be. (Namely, in one of my school's computer labs in the middle of doing some uber-late summer school assignments. Mwahahahaha.)

Thus, I'm just leaving you a review to let you know I read the chapter and OMGYAY Rukifellth and Lilith (even though it's just the Noah for now). The idea of Pommy piloting the plane while Bomberman is balancing himself out of it is giving me the gigglefits because of something I wrote early on in the Horizon chapter...

abuseWoohoo! Update!

I'm working on the Horizon chapter of Fateful Meetings. It currently stands at 24,120 words, and I'm a few minutes (in terms of story time) into the Bomberman vs. Ashtarth fight, which is giving me major problems, oy. I suspect the chapter will be around 50k once I get to the Gravity Generator and do the Warship Noah scene. But thanks for your comments and support!

To sort of piggyback over something that Dantaron might've said to you, your chapters COULD do with a little bit more description. You don't need to be obsessive about it like I tend to be in my writing, but something slightly more than what you have now would be good. Can't wait to see what Birdy's up to!

abuse-“Myu!!” Pommy groaned in irritation. “Pommy can run by—“
A stream of bullets pierced the ground behind them, bits of concrete flying into the air.
“Don’t let go!” Pommy covered his eyes.-
Hah, I liked that line.
Well, I like your story enough. =) Are the Bombs your own invention? They seem extraodinairely powerful, for something he can use almost at spur of the the moment.
Anyway, seems like your building to one massive climax, bringing in all these characters, here. However, there's been no sign of the Elemental Knights. =/
On the Phantom: "These guys really meant business, and had the ship to prove it." that line saved you from just having the typical evil-looking ship, 'cause to me in implies that they believe the bigger your ship, the badder you are. *nods* I like that.
Anyway, it seems this was updated fairly recently. =D At any rate, it's definitely one I'll have my eye on. I'll be reading.

abuseOkay, consider this a review for the past few chapters.
Like I said, I like how you write Orion and Regulus' interaction, with lines like this:
"... Are you always this immature?"
"That depends. Are you always such a **?"
Things like that make me laugh.
Well, seems like some old faces are showing up... Max, Lilith, Ruk, etc. And although I think having a tear roll down Lilith's cheek and Ruki magically finding out all the information he needed was a little excessive, it's definitely good to see them in here in a good pirateshipping - Lilith/Rukifellth - relationship.
I like your OCs (from what I gather), the Sinister Bombers. What's his face, Almach, the swordsman... he seems like a good character, and I like his dreamer personality. His sister was a decent touch, too, but I'm betting she's in it for herself.
*sighs* I guess Bomberman has a bad habit of thinking every girl he stumbles across is cute.

Anyway, only one chapter to read. You better update this, this Bomberman fandom is too desolate. =D

abuseWell, since I'm still a newbie to this Bomberman fandom, and this seemed to be one of the latest stories there... I figured I might as well read it.
For the record, I've only played Bomberman: The Second Attack, and Super Bomberman 2 on the Snes - so I don't have a very overarching view of the general Bomberman plot. Bearing that in mind, I'm going to try to read and understand this fic with only Wikipedia knowledge on some of the other games - and whatever has rubbed off on me from Sora.
Now, to the actual review. Your writing style shows promise, in that you have sufficient details and all - I especially liked the touch with the soldier's armour glittering off the floor. As well, for all I don't know his actual character, Orion's seemingly carefree nature is fine by me. And double points for hinting at Regulus/Zoniha. That is one of my favourite pairings.
At any rate, I'll continue reading this story, and probably leave better reviews in the future. =D

abuseI just started Twilight Princess the day before New Year's, and I, uh, drooled over Link and the pretty graphics. Right now I'm only as far as saving Colin from the boar-dude outside of Kakariko, but hopefully when I get home for the weekend from college I'll be able to do more.

OMG. OMG. OMG. BMJ52 WTF. *fangirls* There's too much I want to say on this. I wrote an entire LJ post ** and emoing about random things, one of which was the fact that it totally screwed with the climax of my Life Returns fic, and I'd post it here if I weren't certain that FFN would ix-nay the link in the review. x_x Maybe I'll find another way to send it to you, 'cause I love spreading the BMJ love. But in summary, there were some things that I was like "WAITHUH?!" over, but overall Bomberman Jetters has really, really surprised me. For a kids-geared anime based off a video game, it's consistently strong in many areas, like in the animation - I don't think that there's been a single episode where the animation was crappy. The music's great, the characters each have their own lives (even the Hige Hige Bandits, of all people!), and it was just...dah it's so underrated. ;_; I was such a skeptic when I first saw the character designs all those years ago, but hot damn it's just completely floored me with awesomeness.

I used to be a big Bakugaiden fan way back when, but I only saw a couple of episodes and they were all in Cantonese, lol. I just learned about the characters from a friend of mine, who could speak and understand Cantonese and was a big fan of the show as well. Someone somewhere (I can't remember where) mentioned that BMJ and Bakugaiden IV sort of have similar endings, but I can't vouch for that.

Anyway, onto the review. (So far I think all of my reviews on your fic have been novel-length, but only half the review actually talks about your fic. XD Whups.) Well, there's actually not a lot I can talk about here, since it seems to be more of a transitional chapter than anything. I'm glad to see more into Bomberman's character through his feelings on Mighty's death, which I bet BMJ52 would help out a lot with. I'd like to see Rukifellth and Lilith show up, as well as Regulus. Are you going to be writing an eventual Bomberman vs. Regulus scene? Judging from the summary of your fic, it seems inevitable, but in fiction we can always find ways around the inevitable...or something. Just keep up the good work! In the meantime, I'll work on writing the last few scenes of the Aquanet chapter for Fateful Meetings, which is 50 pages and counting...oy...

Also, shameless plug: I managed to brainwash my friend Dantaron into writing for Bomberman, so he's got a short fic up here right now called Duel of Duality, so it'd be cool if you could read that and review it. :)

abusePlease to excuse me while I fangirl over the Rukifellth/Lilith.









Eokay, I'm done. Phwee.

I have to say that my love is split between Mighty, non-BMJ Max, and Zero. It's rather distressing at times; I love all three of them for different reasons. Although I can't tell you how much I squee whenever I see one of those "flashback" episodes in BMJ that feature Mighty on a mission. GODDAMMIT WHY'D HE HAVE TO DIE. D:

I guess maybe since Bomberman is such a smaller section that the so-called "cops" here find it easier to patrol? Either that or a couple of people up in the blue yonder hate me. Woe.

Haha, it's supposed to be inferred that Lloyd called the tree Yggdrasill, after crazy ol' Mithos, but I'll bet you anything he could've just named it the "Great Lloyd Tree." And HOORAY FOR SYMPHONIA ANIME. I hope it's an actual series and not just a four-episode crunch like the Phantasia anime was. (The Phantasia anime was still quite cool, it was just too damn short.) As for Golden Sun, character development isn't its best point. -__-;; Speaking as a fanfic author for that fandom, it's both a blessing and a bane. I suspect that Camelot merely wrote Garet's dialogue in such a way so that they could get away with having Isaac mute for the first game for whatever reason.

I haven't yet played Wii. We'll be getting it soon…hopefully. Twilight Princess for the win! Although have you seen the screenshots for the first Bomberman game on Wii? It's just a 3-D version of Bomberman Land Touch for DS. ;_; DAMMIT HUDSON THIS ONE WANTS ANOTHER BOMBERMAN PLATFORMER!

Anyway, to actually review your fic instead of babbling on about games (lolz this review is of the long), Alya in terms of her badass cuteness is very reminiscent of Lilith. ^_^;; I suspect there'll be some lovey-dovey stuff between her and Shiro-kun later on? (Personally I ship Bomberman/Zhael, but how that came about is a long, long-** story…that'll come out as a fic once I finish writing a million other things…) She also seems to have some sort of dark side to her that I don't fully trust, either, but what the hey. I'd also like to see more Regulus scenes, since I'm a fan of him as well. I'm curious as to all these bad guys showing up: first Regulus and now these…um…Sinister Bombers of yours, if I recall correctly. Keep up the writing! I'm currently occupied with jamming 50,0 new words onto my magnum opus for the Golden Sun fandom (called The Serpent Eats Itself and Lives Forever), so Bomberman updates from me won't be up until after November ends. Eek.
