demented-squirrel 2008-01-25 ch 20,	abuseI hate you and your 5 year long cliffhanger. Please update. This... this is just cruel now. ^^;
Chibi Tenshi Sama 2007-09-18 ch 20,	abuseConsidering nthis hasn't been updated in how many years, I guess your writers block is permanent? Oh well. This story was great while it lasted. I hope you do eventually decide to write Chapter 20... ~Tenshi
SwiftShadow 2007-08-12 ch 20,	abuse-falls off of chair laughing- At first I was kinda wondering what the heck was going on in this chapter... but the AN in the end just made it funny. The Lina thing was funny. ^^ Personally, Zel (I don't feel like trying to spell his name) is my favorite character in that series, but Lina is funny too. XD I hope that Gochan gets over her writer's block soon. This is a very entertaining story and I can't wait for the next chapter!
evilteddybear 2007-05-23 ch 3,	abuseGreat job as usual. Didn't notice any prominent grammatical errors, (though I may just be adapting to your style.) Disclaimer and author's note were top-notch. You have yet to explain "Oro" in the notes, though. Formatting could use a space between body and chapter status ("End of chapter three" etc..) in my humble opinion. The gi was never actually described. I will give you some advice that has been given to me; You should always be careful to explain things thoroughly. An author often becomes so used to the concepts they are using that they are easily seen and identified in the author's head. Readers, however, cannot see into your mind, and thus have no idea of what these things are like unless you tell them. I thought it WAS the pink gi until you got to the author's notes. The scene at the market (I think it was a market, that wasn't very obvious either,) was too...prominent for my tastes. Too packed with shouting and opposition and such...(I'm not explaining this very well am I?) Too...unsubtle. That's just my personal preference, though. I'm sure there's a writing trick or two that could improve that without changing the content...but I have not idea what it could be. (I'm a bit of a humor dunce. -_-;) Himura's beginning to come off as a bit of a sulky child... I'm very hard to please aren't I? -_-; Oh well, that makes it easer for me to critique. I do love my usually high quality authors (though they too are imperfect) like Linay and Goldenberry. My favorite part was when Himura cut the sake bottle. Priceless! Thank you for all your time, effort, and skill! I'm becoming cranky, and developing a headache, (as if you couldn't tell.) I'm going to stop reading this story and come back to it later. (That may have something to do with your writing style, but most likely not. I've been doing this kind of thing a lot recently...
evilteddybear 2007-05-23 ch 2,	abuseRated 9 & 3/4 out of 10. You rock at humor! I laughed aloud twice. You haven't yet managed to laugh me out of my chair yet, but that usually takes the build up of several chapters. I'm glad my parents aren't asleep so I don't have to hold the laughter in. Extra points for managing such good humor without it falling into the category of "Crack." Crack humor just makes me uncomfortable. Yay! for the more informative author's note. Yay! for the better balance of narrative and dialog. Yay! for the good formatting. Yay! for the disclaimer in both chapters without being repetitive. Yay! for the lack of being repetitive with character titles (that's a hard one.) You might want to have let up on Obaga's level of annoyance at this point. He's even beginning to get a little annoying to ME. Grammatical errors: your sentences are too long. A lot less than last time, yes? Oh well, that's my major grammatical challenge, too. It's so hard to separate your thoughts properly. Thank you for your time and effort!
evilteddybear 2007-05-23 ch 1,	abuseI love it! Absolutely love it! It's hilarious! _ Thank you SO much for all the time, effort, and skill that went into writing, and especially completing, this fic. I can really appreciate how hard it can be to write good humor (since my own skill at telling jokes is practically nonexistent.) -_-; It was PERFECT with the exception of: a grammatical error in your author's note "witht he", the confusing change in address of Youe to Obaga (was that supposed to be You?), the lack of explanation of Japanese terms in your author's note, and the complete lack of any sort of grammatical sense in this paragraph - "The remaining four leaped into action with the grace, speed, and precision of a pack of hungry tigers. And then the remaining four fell in defeat with the dignity, honor, and pride of a burlap sack of potatoes. Potatoes don't bleed. Approvingly, neither did the rebels expect the one with a broken nose (those always bleed.) Himura noticed with satisfaction that the swordsman had flipped his blade to take out his enemies." Such a very good story should not have such simple mistakes. (Do I sound like an English teacher or what?) You might want to consider getting a beta reader. You also may want to consider further balancing the dialog and narrative. (I kept wanting to skip ahead to the next part of the conversation.) Oh well, I don't know much about that myself, and the way you already have it seems pretty good to me. I only know how to spot when it's done REALLY well, not necessarily HOW to do it. I wouldn't really know. -_-; I really like your story to be able to give such constructive criticism. (You can only spot the faults when they stick out from the rest of the really well written story.) This was not a flame, and I do not mean to undermine your skill or decrease your confidence. I want to be able to help you improve your writing, if I can. ^_^ On to the next chapter!
Michika-chan 2007-05-17 ch 20,	abuseThis is one of the best stories I've ever read... I have never laughed to a story like this one. and now when I se that you probatly are not going to update anytime soon, I really get saddend. This story is so good... Please update or at least tell us what happend... hope to hear from you soon
GothicShadow 2007-01-04 ch 20,	abuseGod I LOVE this fic! It is SO damn funny! XD!! I dunno if you still plan on putting up a 'real' chapter 20, but i'll but you on alert anyway!
TrisakAminawn 2006-12-07 ch 20,	abuseI am noticing that you never did finish this...kind of annoying, since you were about to end it. Heh. Oh well.
Sword On Fire 2006-12-06 ch 20,	abuseDude. You must continue this. I WANNA SEE THE SNOT GET KICKED OUT OF AROJI! ... And the rest of the story is funny, too. Only, the old name for umbrella is "bumBershoot". One word. And with a "b", not a "p". Sorry, it was just bugging me. Anyhow, please update again soon!
kokoronagomu 2006-10-10 ch 20,	abusei read this quite a while ago but neglected to review. i have really enjoyed this tale, it's one of the best explanations for the pink gi and the "sessha, de gozaru" speech/behavior. it doesn't matter to me (well maybe a little) if you finish this as long as you don't stop writing (i would prefer you write my favorite fandoms but i'm happy if you just write). take care and thank you for the wonderful journeys through your imagination. sincerely, ginny
flip-flop108 2006-09-23 ch 1,	abuseUpdate NOW!DON'T MAKE ME GO ANGER MANAGEMENT UP IN DIS JOINT!
