Talk:Momo Hinamori

Gif
I was procrastinating and so made this gif of Tobiume. Tinni  (Talk)  21:30, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Looks good, her article doesn't do a very good job of explaining the ability so this should clear it up. Nice job.--God (Pray)  21:36, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm for putting it up on her page. I know Tinni didn't propose it, but since it came up on Zennosuke's page recently, I think we still may need a still shot of Tobiume in its shikai state, since it retains its shape even after firing its fireballs. While this GIF does show it being released, we don't get to see the entire released blade without it being engulfed in flames. If possible, we can probably do better than the current shot, but either way, I think we still may need a still shot of Tobiume. That's just me though. What do you guys think?

There you go, new still. Which probably means that I should shorten the gif to not include the release because I put the release in so we didn't have to have the still. But if we are going to have the still, not need to show her releasing her sword and it transforming... I don't know, let me know if you want me to short the gif in some way.

Well, it was just a thought from observing the GIF. Like you, some people may feel that a still shot isn't necessary any longer, which is why I wanted to get feedback regarding it before I add the GIF and possibly remove the still shot. We'll wait until what others think before we do anything. Arrancar109 (Talk)  23:44, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

I personally feel that the still shot should be kept...but that is just me. - Mr. N 02:37, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I say keep the still so we see the whole shikai but add the gif as I think it would help explain the swords ability--God (Pray)  02:44, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Which still? The current one or the new one? Tinni  (Talk)  02:48, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I prefer the current one as it is alot clearer--God (Pray)  02:53, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I dont think theres a point to keep the still if the gif shows the shikai and the ability. The gif shows two for the price of one. The current still seems to misrepresent the size of the zanpakuto through exaggeration of that particular release. The second still seems elongated. Im more partial to the gif. The only reason we have the kept the current one is because we had no real choice. Salubri (Talk)  02:57, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well, as I explained further up, the reason why I thought the still screenshot may be required is that, unlike Zennosuke's GIF, Momo's release pans down the screen and then moves too quickly to see the clear shape of her Zanpakuto in her Shikai state, which still retains its shape after its first release. I'm not suggesting we slow down the GIF (that would cause more of a speed agitation, if anything), but possibly show the blade when it is not fired, and show the Zanpakuto's ability when it is being used. If it weren't for the fact that Momo's fireballs changed between the first time she released and how it was shown in the Fake Karakura Town arc, then I'd recommend the GIF version of that still. I myself am for both a still and the GIF, but given the complications regarding the GIF (which is probably the only clear shot of the GIF we're going to get), both might be the only way can show both the ability and the shape. In regards to that, I would go for Tinni's newer still shot. One of the branches on the blade is a bit obscured, but the blade's size itself isn't misrepresented. Arrancar109 (Talk)  03:15, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I have experimented with adding both the still and the gif and frankly, it doesn't work. They take-up too much space in a section that isn't all the substantial. So I decided the best way to solve the problem is the extend the gif to include some scenes straight after tossing the fireball that shows the form of Hinamori's shikai very well. At any rate, since there is not object to the gif, I'll go ahead and add it. We can decide later if a still is still needed or not. Tinni  (Talk)  04:52, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think the still shot is really necessary. As far as seeing what her Zanpakuto looks like, I think that the part of the gif when she throws the fireball is slow enough to give a decent enough glimpse of her sword - it shows all three prongs clearly, even with the fire, and the sword doesn't really have any other distinguishing features. Mohrpheus (talk) 04:45, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks fine and shows what needs to be shown. It's unreleased form, it going into its shikai, what it looks like in shikai, and it's ability. I think the GIF should stay until something better can be found. Plus I personally think a GIF looks better than a still for something like this. Ltjuno (talk) 10:37, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Momo vs. Hinamori
Why in some places is she referred to as "Momo" and in others as "Hinamori". Can't we be consistent? Dueler65 (talk) 19:40, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Matter of preference to the writer but usually she is refered to as Hinamori--
