Nutshell Fun Facts!

[Hika Yagami]

Do you have a question about Nutshell, post them here and I'll answer them!

Note: This doesn't include asking me where the next episode is or if I'm quitting. The truth is that I never know when the next episode will finish. That depends on when the VAs send me their lines. And if I was quitting I wouldn't keep that to myself. I'd post it up on Youtube or something.

What inspired you to make nutshell?

[Hika Yagami]

What inspired me to do it was the fanbase itself. To me, the fanbase is a love-hate relationship. Most of them are very nice and friendly but some not so much. The things I hate are as follows:

Character bashing for no reason(this includes Aoyama and Berry)
The majority of the Quiche fanbase(who love to bash Aoyama for a decision that ICHIGO made).
Character exaggeration(Making Quiche out as some kind of hero when he was obviously a bad guy, making Berry out as someone overpowerful when she only won ONE fight on her own and that was only when she first became a Mew Mew but that's no different than the others, making Pudding out like she's an annoying brat - ect.)

So in early 2006, I was inspired to work with what I hated and try to make it funny. Every change you see in the characters are inspired by fanbase bashing or really lame fanfics that I've come across. But I knew that I needed a cast, so I worked on finding the right people and bought some new computer programs, so it took until early 2007 that I was finally able to put up the first episode.

So, in a way, it's sort of my way of letting off steam. It's not really working anymore as now the fanbase is giving me a new set of problems XD.

cool,thanks for sharing!

Huh! That's neat!

"Character exaggeration(Making Quiche out as some kind of hero when he was obviously a bad guy, making Berry out as someone overpowerful when she only won ONE fight on her own and that was only when she first became a Mew Mew but that's no different than the others, making Pudding out like she's an annoying brat - ect.)"

Ha-ha, I'm guilty of this, but in a different way. xD

Who takes the longest to send in the lines?

[Hika Yagami]

I don't mind character exaggeration if it's a joke but there are a lot of people who really make Berry out to be like that and seriously hate her for it when the only problem with her was that she was the center of attention in A la Mode(but that was because it was only 2 volumes long). If they base it on that logic, they should hate Ichigo for the same reasons in the first series XD.

As for your question, that varies from episode to episode but sometimes it's usually the one who has the least lines to do. For the current episode I'm doing, only Keiichiro's lines are missing... He only has 4.

[mewwolf5]

That actually makes sense, in a way.
The ones with the fewest know it won't take that long, so they put it off for longer.

[MewRasberryRuby]

That does make perfect sense, but not only because of what mewwolf(awesome name, wolves rock!!!!) said, but if someone does decide to do it immediately, they're more likely to get distracted, because they have so little to do and don't have to be so concentrated...

Out of the nutshell characters seen so far, which is your favorite? Do you like your version or the original version of that character better?

[Mew Yoru]

What program do you use to make the videos?

[Hika Yagami]

That answer will be on the FAQ section of the website. Look out for it.

Do you plan to make nutshells for the whole 52 episode series? Also, are you accepting new character voices or do you have everything planned out?

[Hika Yagami]

For MewRasberryRuby, my current favorite Nutshell Characters right now are Lettuce and Pudding. I still like the original story over the stuff that I come up with though XD.

For Ichigo, I am planning on doing all 52 episodes. As for voices, all of the main cast is filled and I won't be posting auditions for extras(ex: Norihiro from ep. 16, Iruka from 19 ect.) until we come close to those episodes.

Alright, but I'll always be interested! Nyaa~!
