Anime Animated Avatars Workshop
Public Group active 4 years, 6 months ago agoI watch the latest animes, I see things I approve of, I make animated gifs with them, I share them here. Always felt like there was a lack of good anime gifs out there, so I’m out to fill that niche :D
Expect to see 1 or 2 a week, which is the rate I’ve managed to keep for a couple months now, generally 100*100 in size and under 200k, as they are aimed to be MSN Avatars first and foremost.
Emphasis on: Awesomeness, lulz and lolies.
There may be spoilers for recent animes, so be wary of this.
If you wish for a preview, all the ones I’ve done up until today, July 16th 2010, can be downloaded as a .zip here (1 or 2 of these might not actually be mine, I don’t remember):
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B2mp8G0raQxONTkzODBiZjYtMzM2ZS00ZGViLWFjMGMtNDljOGQ1NGM2MDEx&hl=en (you need to be logged into Google to be able to use it.)
Alternate link (if you need it refreshed, just tell me): http://rapidshare.com/files/419718396/Anime_MSN_Avats.zip
Of course, this is a group, so all members are free to share their own works as well, preferably using permanent hosting (Google Docs? Photobucket?) so the links don’t go dead after a month. Any suggestion for hosting is welcomed!
Try to state the sauce for your gifs as well, always good to know. And if I may suggest, keep these safe for work, I don’t want this to turn into 4chan’s /gif/ D:
Note: At the moment, I’m not taking requests, I have my hands full with the ones I’m doing already. :C

Due to ridiculous lack of support and activity aside from my own, the A.A.A.W will now merge into the “A Not So Succubi Fanclub Alliance” group in an attempt to keep at least one of the two groups active to some extent :P
So if you were actually following this, I suggest you direct your attention toward the…[Read more]

But before that ….
Dai Loli , what do you think about the idea to centralize our domain ?
I mean we already have 2 groups where its just the 2 of us talking about stuff with some one else saying something 1 time in 100 years . So why don’t we move them into one ?

Part of me agrees with the logic, and part of me is sad to see my cherished group merge into another one D:
What’s your idea? I just become a thread on the Succubi Alliance?

If it’s anything like Crunchy, they randomly lurk, check the goods out and leave. I’m at 6350 views on my thread over there, and have about… 4-5 comments other than myself? XD

I know rite? I’m irritated at the amount of people who just randomly created groups on a whim and forgot about them afterwards >_>
With that said: Thanks! Not planning on letting this place go to waste any time soon.
-
Yea, I try to go and update my groups every once in a while if there’s something Ive heard, I try to keep the PS3 group active but its hard
-
-
There are like what , 3 groups that are seriously active ?!!

– MikuMiku World Conquest Group!!!
– Succubi Fanclub Alliance-
There’s fapper foundation, and when HOTD comes back for a second season it may go back up but till then its the Sankaku Of The Dead, haha

I guess if you’re the one who says something should be watched i guess i should at least check it out . *downloading at the moment*
And wtf ?! Don’t keep stuff from your comrades !! D:
And if you do , at least don’t tease us like that ! >_<-
Sorry for being a tease :3
And of course it’s only to be watched if you’re an ecchi hunter like I. Otherwise it will be a bore.
-
Let me see it ! If I find it to be boring a won’t bother you again with showing me a gif you say I won’t be interested in .

Also crap I forgot to post them in the right thread :x

Dai_Loli started the forum topic A.A.A.W’s GIF posting thread in the group
Anime Animated Avatars Workshop: 4 years, 12 months agoFor easier browsing, I’m making this thread. I’ll be posting all GIFs into this from now on.
All gifs up to February 27th 2011 are available here:

Anime Animated Avatars Workshop: 4 years, 12 months agoBtw why don’t we start posting the gifs into the group forum ?Its there to be used anyway ! That way people who come here can look at all the gifs without needing to scroll-down to oblivion !
-
I was recently thinking about how the gifs aren’t properly displayed in one convenient location right now, too.
I guess posting them in the forum sounds like the simplest way to be able to kinda browse through them, alright.
I’ll start by making a new compilation of the gifs so far and start fresh with a forum topic after that.

Probably my least favorite character from this show.
But I’ll admit I lol’d when she popped up from the ground sitting on a revolving tile.-
She’s my least favorite, too, but I thought this would make a good gif.

Anime Animated Avatars Workshop: 5 years agoHere’s one that I made years ago, from Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora. I don’t remember what program I used to make this.
http://i.imgur.com/gDrxq.gifI still happened to have the frame images, so I recreated it with GIMP. It doesn’t look as good, but the file size is smaller.
http://i.imgur.com/CBG4u.gifI’m not sure if there’s any way…[Read more]
-
There has to be a way to optimize the images, kinda like how Photoshop has ”Save Optimized as…”. If GIMP is any respectable copy of Photoshop, it has this option somewhere. Although I’ll admit I never saw a program with a better system for optimizing images alright.
First I hear of this anime, but the girl’s kinda cute :D
-
Btw, that second image is still too big for MSN XD
When you take the snapshots for your GIFs, do you clean up the frames manually before booting up GIMP? I find that deleting the frames that are doubles of other frames helps a ton in making smaller gifs, especially since easily half, or even two-thirds of every image sequence is consisted of…[Read more]
-
There is an option to “Optimize for gif” or something, which makes the file size slightly smaller. I used it and it only made the file 3kb smaller lol.
Regarding the quality of gifs from GIMP, I did some research and may have found out why the GIMP one doesn’t look as good as the other one. I learned that gif animations can have a 256 color…[Read more]
-
To answer your other question, I import all screenshots directly into GIMP and I make the changes directly to them there. This is mostly just scaling and cropping. I don’t usually have any duplicate screenshots that need to be deleted. Each screenshot I take is generally a different frame of the original animation.
-
Let me congratulate you on an avatar well done (y)
First post answer: Yes, that’s the way Imageready does it, and, well, IMO it’s the best, since of course having 256 colors PER frame would rape you file size-wise.
This is why it’s sometimes so heart-wrenching to do gifs under 200k; you have to either remove sequences from the animation, lower…[Read more]-
When I take the screencaps, I pause the player and skip frames until it actually changes. I don’t take another screencap if the current frame is exactly the same as the last one.
-
O shi-
You’re doing this *manually*? :O
I urgently need to tell you the way I do it. It’s probably a lot easier and faster. Here’s a copy paste from something I wrote for a guy who wanted tips as well:I use the CCCP codec pack (http://www.cccp-project.net/), which includes a little something called ”ffdshow”. Once I start any anime (yes, mkv…[Read more]
-
Thanks for the tips. I didn’t know you could do that with ffdshow. I’ve noticed the tray icons when I watch videos, but never really clicked on them or anything. It seems the trade-off from manually taking the screenshots is cleaning up the duplicate frames. Considering that, I don’t think it would save that much time. In fact, I actually think…[Read more]
-
Haha, alright, I suppose you have some way to turn every screencap into a file without posting it in Paint or something every time and going ‘save as’? In that case I can see it being relatively similar in time needed. :)
As for MSN gifs, that’s cool; entirely your call and I’ll definitely be looking forward to your works whether they’re…[Read more]
-
I actually use Fraps to take the screenshots rofl. It saves the images into the folder I specify with one key press. So I just press that key, then press the right arrow key to skip frames, and repeat until I get all the images I need. The video player I use (MPC) has a function to save screen caps too, but I couldn’t get it to work right.…[Read more]

Anime Animated Avatars Workshop: 5 years agoI can never be satisfied with my involvement with Madoka Magica… It seems I’ve reached an uncomfortable level of fandom. They need to release a Madoka body pillow cover so my heart can truly be at peace <3
In any case, you might not want to look at this one if you didn't watch ep. 7 yet. Takes the magic out of it.

You shall not be spared when it comes to Kyubei ! Just wait untill the weekend comes XD (Nope , I haven’t forgotten about that)
-
Oh damn it after watching the the latest ep of Madoka i have to say that I lost the battle before it even started . So i guess this time you slip by XD
-
How nice is Kyubee NOW, HUH?
-
HUH dai_loli ? You’re really asking for it !
So you want a battle ?? Of course i mean i battle with our main weapon being logic ! So you up for the challenge ?-
I’m game but what’s the challenge? :P
-
A battle over QBs innocence !
Our weapons shall be logic .
But of course I wont be serious if I don’t have something to gain so lets make up a price for the winner . If you lose you’ll have to play a full map on HOMM5 with me . You are free to chose what’s going to happen if I lose ! (but it must be of equal worth with the one I chose )-
You really think Kyubee’s going to be cleared of all suspicion? Are you basing this on the first episode’s dream sequence where he doesn’t seem like he’s evil in the end? Because I don’t see any other argument in your camp!
And if the game’s free to play, sure, I guess I can. :O
As for when you lose… you must make the next three GIFs,…[Read more]
-
Of course i don’t think i’m going to cleat him from all or any suspicions in your eyes .My goal is not to convince you or anyone else in that . Actually I myself dont think he’s innocent .
But this is a battle with logic.My goal is to win it . I’m going to prove that he’s not evil .
We have one week starting from today .
You present…[Read more]-
Ohh I forgot to ask – Do you have any questions ?
-
Who gets to decide if your rebuttal is good enough to kill the argument? Don’t we need a neutral 3rd party?
-
I dont think a 3rd party is necessary . If you think my rebuttal is not good enough you just say why or/and bring some counter argument.
But if you really want a judge and you find one I have nothing against it .

Anime Animated Avatars Workshop: 5 years agoHere’s another cool one from Kore wa Zombie desu ka. It’s not meant to be an avatar or anyting. I just thought this scene was awesome and decided to make an animated gif of it.

I used imgur for this one because photobucket automatically resized it when I uploaded it there. I also made a large version that’s…[Read more]-
Ah yes, Yuu commanding her to die repeatedly, that was pretty priceless XD
-
Yes, that scene was great. I especially like how the tree also dies when she speaks.
-
-
Can you send the large version via email ? :3
Btw how do you people make gifs ?Or should I ask with which program ?!
-
I can send it to you. PM me your email address.
As for making them, I use GIMP. It’s really easy.
1. Take screenshots of each frame with your video player.
2. In GIMP, go to “File>Open as layers,” select the images, and open them. Each layer will be a frame in the animation.
3. Resize, crop, etc. the canvas and layers to your liking.
4. Save as…[Read more]-
How easy is it with GIMP to tell it to save, say, under 200k? How do you work with compressing them with it?
Also, if you have a GIF where a couple frames are too much to the side to be seen after cropped, is it easy to move them in place?
I use ImageReady here, and, honestly, the only thing that would make me want to switch is if there’s an…[Read more]
-
I don’t see an option to specify the file size. If there is one, I’m not sure where to look. I’m not very experienced with the program yet.
As for moving frames, I don’t think it would be difficult. I think it would simply be a matter of selecting the layer and dragging it to where ever you like. You would also have to hide all layers that…[Read more]

I’ve been posting the new gifs at the new location below for 3 weeks now :3
It’s just that the Sankaku groups have died, we need to make it more lively, the only new updates on half the pages is that someone added to the group. I think we need to figure out a way to get more participating people on the SC groups, each week I put something on one of my non participating groups pages and no one responds.
I know what you mean. Me and Belphegor’ve been trying to liven things up in the other forum, but no one gives a damn, it’s depressing. I’ll say, if you drop by the Succubi Alliance and post, you’ll at least have 2-3 members reading your stuff and replying if it’s at all about our mutual interests : P
