What is Tachibana?

Well, I read over the first episode!!! The material itself was interesting enough, but you should probably try redoing it entirely in script form...I think it'd make it easier to edit and figure out what should be removed or what should stay. It makes things move a lot more easily.

I'm not concerned with it as as script yet, just to get the stories out there and see opinions on them

Material-wise, I think the first episode could contain a little more. Is this the entire main cast? You mentioned something about eight students, I think.

One of the characters should be a killer robot driving instructor who goes back in time for some reason.

I thougt it was about the right size for an episode, length-wise. Actually, sometimes I thought it was a bit on the long side, even. But, I guess it's a perception thing...

I really wanted to end off on a cliff hanger really.

It's not like it's uncommon for animes to have a vuage first episode anyway. Evangelion, Lain, it's been done before.

His best friend should be a talking pie.

Vague is all right, but it would need more dialogue to run longer...as it's typed up, I guess the length is ok, but remember that you have it in short story form rather than script form. When you type it up as a script it'll probably turn out considerably shorter. That's been my past experience, anyway. I don't start scripts as stories anymore, I find using script form from the beginning makes it a lot easier.

I'll finish episode two tomorrow, it should be online sometime friday. Then I'll make a webpage for it, and put it on some shitty host.

I'll cover Eric and Emily in the Naze Nani, as well as explain the 'Specials'. You also get to see a lot more of the characters exploring their world.

I need to find more general information on the Japanese diet however. :/

All I (and many Americans) know of Japanese diet: ramen, sushi, sashimi, beef pot, and Pocky. Oh, and that awesome banana tempura desert...yum...Pocky's good too! But that's not much help....

It would be great if there really was someplace like Tachibana Highschool. I wouldn't mind studying in Japan over the summer. I'm hoping to go to England this summer anyway. I'd do Japan, but the ASA program doesn't offer anything there.
