Ah, RUBY! I've been watching the series, and I gotta say: it's kinda cute. There are some songs where songs shouldn't be, but all in all, it's cute. I love this. I was hoping you would do Ruby, but I didn't think you would. Thanks for this. I can see that. Like, she and her family were separated, and she had no choice, cause Redclaw destroyed her kingdom and it's not safe for her to search for her family. I've watched so many magical girl animes, I'm expecting her to have a transformation, or that....I'm guessing jewel, to use some kind of energy...well, I guess that'd work, but not the transformation thing....which I know, but my brain keeps GOING there.
I must admit I'm not too keen on the TV series... The songs are silly and the animation half the time looks like cheap fan-art, can't say I'm too found of the music, doesn't hold a candle to James Horner. Sure there are some cute moments, and there were a few eps I kinda liked. But the one I really didn't like was the log running game episode. The writers just went plan crazy with Cera's stubbornness. It also bugs me that they didn't properly explained how Ruby and Chomper came to the great valley and were excepted by the residents
I thought I'd do Ruby to keep her fans happy as a few people have asked to if I would humanize her.
She main no be a magic girl, but I got the idea for her red hair and pink outfit from Ichigo from Tokyo mew mew.
I DO agree it's only cute. There are only a few episodes I like and one guest character that was even half-decent. And, as I said, there are songs where songs shouldn't be....and the melody reusing....oh, the melody reusing! The animation wasn't that great, either, but that's what low budgets will get you, and the voice acting was.....not really good, but it IS cute. Really, I think it had potential, but no real budget or faith in it at all. I could see that. Maybe even voiced by Ichigo's voice actress...

the Great Log Running Game to me, was...not done well. It was a good episode, all in all, but it would've been nice if they'd thought it through more...like, a LOT more. They had an idea that was good, but the delivery....well, sucked. They should've given a more context oriented explanation. Yeah, I KNOW the magical girl thing won't work, but....my brain goes there....

The only idea in my brain that WOULD work, really, is the...jewel? could be a mechanical device, or something...but my brain keeps going to magical transformation thing....
