Hello EHC staffus~
As you may have already noticed, the club has been growing inactive again and it would be a real shame to leave it that way after Kapre-kun and the others worked so hard in reviving it! In order to keep the club alive, we need to help each other by constantly adding editions for the month. We would also need club games and your cooperation in being as social with members, as well.
To Baristas
The following are editions that wasn't able to make it to July. Please sign up and feel free to add more to the Cafe Information Board when you have ideas so other baristas may sign up, as well.
Hamster LE || August 22
Kingdom Hearts SE || August 26
Shigatsu Wa Kimi no Uso LE || August 28
We need more games and a new layout. Let's try to get this club active again by starting at that.
Thanks, EHC family <3
We hope you don't mind us doing this, Kapre-kun (prays for his survival in college)
Hello my Wonderful Crew! ~γΎ(οΌΎ∇οΌΎ) Time for a Crew Update οΌ―(β§β½β¦)οΌ―
It'll mostly be a bunch or reminders but there is one topic that we all have
to discuss regarding on how we deal with the undesirable behavior of a few
pf our customers.
Firstly, I'd like to thank VanityStar for making our July Layout :D It's so gorgeous!
Imma right guys? βωβ
I also updated our Monthly Schedule of Card Editions and you can see the themes
along with their date of opening below. If you want to participate the you can
insert your name under the participants here (´γ»ο½γ») I encourage
Solo or Collaboration Editions so feel free to make them to your heart's content :3

For our Postmen & Postwomen, the NLs will be ready in a few days. I'll send
all of you a message once the newsletters are ready to be delivered :D
Okay, on to the last most important announcement. In light of the previous
conflict that began in the club comments several days ago, I have decided
to make a separate club for the sole use of all of the crew members of EHC
including myself. I'll be inviting all of the crew members so please accept the
invitation. The club is set into "Secret" so only those who I have invited will
be the only ones to view our posts. This is to preserve our privacy when it
comes to our decision making on matters at the Cafe. We'll be discussing
what rules and regulations will be implemented and we'll also be using the
club whenever a matter arises that requires the opinion of all crew members.
The Staff Lounge thread in the Cafe will remain as a place where all of the
crew members can chat freely and where most of the announcements will
be posted. But if you deem that your discussion needs privacy from potential
stalkers within the members of our club, feel free to use the secret club for
your own purposes. I hope this solves our problem regarding the matter of
privacy (I don't know why I hadn't though of this before >_< Thanks to
Sapphire-san for giving me inspiration to this idea)
I guess thats it for now. If you have anything that you want to discuss with
me then feel free to give me a holler on my profile by comments or pms qββΏβq
This will be a quick update (I promise! xD) so please bear with me for the
moment haha xD lol This update mostly concerns the Baristas and our
Postmen and Postwomen but there are some announcements here and
there for everyone q^βΏ^q
If you haven't sent me yet a picture for your Staff Badge, you can still do so
by sending me a comment/message on my profile :D
I've finished making the Graphics Request Edition and I plan to open it
within a few days. If anyone wants to join then you can add in your names here. Don't worry, you don't need to do all of them if you don't want to.
Just choose the graphics that you are comfortable in making.
I think it's time for our Cafe to have it's own Member Cards and Badges so if
anyone is interested in taking charge of making the Badges then you may contact
me on my profile (οΌΎ∇οΌΎ) DarkTempest will be the one in charge of our Member Cards :)
I also updated our Monthly Schedule of Card Editions and you can see the themes
along with their date of opening below. If you want to participate the you can
insert your name under the participants here (´γ»ο½γ») I encourage
Solo or Collaboration Editions so feel free to make them to your heart's content :3
SCHEDULE OF EDITIONS
Owari no Seraph Limited Edition - June 5
Allen Walker Special Edition - June 8

Also, nekonyaa has an idea for a Claim thread. I'll just quote his exact
words as he's better at explaining it than I am xD "I had an idea for a monthly
claim thread where you "designate" a "maid/butler" (whatever anime/manga/
game/etc character (doesn't have to be in uniform)) to serve the "customer" for
that month. Of course, I need someone who is willing to, and has time, to make
claim banners :>". If anyone is interested in making Claim Threads for
the Cafe then you have my permission to make them :3 You can also talk to
nekonyaa if you want to discuss his idea in much more detail. ^^
For our Postmen & Postwomen, the NLs are now ready to be delivered and you
can find it here. Like before, you can choose which batch you will deliver to and
as stated in the schedule, you have 4 days to deliver all of the NLs on your
selected batch ( ´ β½ ` ) Oh, and this will be the last Massive NL Delivery, I
promise! qββΏβq
One last thing, I was thinking of hosting a contest but I don't have any
idea what kind it will be ^^; I do have an idea what the prizes will be
(Steam Games, Graphics, etc.) so anyone has some good ideas that can
make our Customers excited to participate?
We're making great progress in our cafe! Let's keep it up guys and gals!
o((*^β½^*))o June will be a busy month so all hands will be needed :)
This will be a short crew update so please bear with me xD
First of, for those of you who still hasn't seen the new crew badge
I made here it is! οΌ―(β§β½β¦)οΌ― I hope it doesn't look too shabby haha.
Okay, for me to start making the Staff badges for all of us, I'd like you guys
to send me 1 high quality image of your choice as your portrait on the
badge. The reason why it has to be high quality because if I resize a low quality
image in Gimp, it will lose so much quality that even enhancing the image won't
cut it anymore :/ You can give me the link of your desired image by commenting
or sending me a message on my profile, whichever best works for all of you :D
As for the Revival SE, we'll be opening the thread on Friday. It will be open
themed so if anyone of you still wants to join in, you can till participate :D If for
some reason you might be late in posting your cards, give me a shout out on my
profile so that I can adjust the opening date so that you will still be able to
participate (οΌΎβ½οΌΎ) I've already made a thread so if you're finished with your
cards, you can put it up here.
If you may have noticed, I made a Graphics Request Thread a few days ago. For
those of you who are interested in taking in some request from our customers, please
tell me as soon as you can. I'll be opening the thread by the 1st week of June, depends
on what exact date it will be. You'll be given the freedom to do any type of graphics that
you prefer to make like cards, badges, forum sets, layouts, DPs etc. You won't obligated
to make the request right away and you have the privilege to make it at your time and
pace :D
For our Postmen and Postwomen, we'll be sending out another NL to our customer within
the 1st week of June too. And I might have done something a little er, mistake or oversight
on the last NL we sent. So many of those who signed-up previously are either inactive or
have disabled their comments right now. I might have forgotten to include the link to the
NL Sign-up thread... Gomenasai!(γ·_ _)γ· Yeah, we'll be doing another massive NL Delivery
so I'm really sorry for my noob mistake! ;-; I'll make it up for you guys, I promise!
Finally, the month of June will be a very busy month for the cafe because all of our planned
activities/events will start within that month. I hope that all of us can pull it through and
make the month of June the most successful month of the Cafe yet! (β§∇β¦) If you have any
ideas you'd like to share, no matter how ridiculous it may seem to you, don't be afraid to shout it
out at the Staff Lounge. Don't wanna restrict our creative thinking right? xD
I know I said it would be a short update but *sigh* I overdid it again writing these Crew Updates
haha. I hope you forgive me for taking a few minutes from your time xD As always. stay cozy and lazy upbeat every time you can! (Umm, that sounded stupid xD haha)
Hello my Wonderful Crew! ~γΎ(οΌΎ∇οΌΎ) Time for a Crew Update οΌ―(β§β½β¦)οΌ―
Firstly, I'd like to once give a warm welcome to all of our new Crew Members! Thank you very much for joining our humble cafe! o(^β½^)o Also, thank you also to all of the Postman & Postwoman that helped deliver all 749 NLs to all of our current customer :) Thank you also to Sapphire-san for giving us a new layout for the revival of the Cafe ^^
As you may have noticed, we've been doing some renovating around the cafe to give it a fresh new look. One thing that I've revamped is the Cafe Information Board. It's not yet fully renovated because I still have to insert some information here and there but one thing you may notice is that the 1st post display the name of each crew member plus the position/s they have. I kinda er, deleted the old list by mistake so I couldn't remember all of the positions the crew has. You could check it and maybe edit in your name if I still haven't (I'm really sorry for that! ^^;) Now, I'll divide this NL based on the positions of crew members so you can just focus on the one you occupy :)
ββββ Special Project Manager ββββ
Tempest-san, I'll give you free reign to implement any ideas you have in mind for our cafe. No need to ask for my permission because I know I can trust you :D If you need any help from the rest of the Crew Members, you can ask anyone and I'm sure they'll be glad to help, me included ;)
ββββ Barista ββββ
Those who are still new here might have not known a few useful things around the Cafe that can help lighten up your load on doing graphics. We have a Delivery Counter available to be used for your convenience. Instructions are posted there on how to use it :D As you already know I don't force you to meet any form of quotas as long as you stay active from time to time :) Now on to our main agenda :) Sapphire-san suggested we do Revival card edition for our customers and I think it's a great idea. The one thing that we are lacking now is a theme so I'd like everyone to give suggestions and ideas on what theme we should do :) To make it easier for all of us to track all of our ideas and suggestions, you should post them at our Staff Lounge so that everyone can see them :D
ββββ Postmen & Postwomen ββββ
Great job to all of you guys! :D As for the scheduling of the NL deliveries, I've decided to make it every 1st week of the month. There will be so-called "Mini Updates" that will be sent from time to time, depending on our current activities within a month but it'll be only a few times I hope ^^ I'm still reorganizing the list of customers that have signed-up for our NLs so don't worry about that.
ββββ Entertainment Specialists ββββ
As always, you have my permission to create any threads you want as long as it is geared for the entertainment of our Customers :) Also, if your ideas involves the participation of other crew members then don't be shy to ask us for help ^_^ You can post your ideas at our Staff Lounge so that everyone can see them :)
ββββ Socialites ββββ
Well, the more customers you can reel in to our cafe the better! (°∀°)b You may use whatever means you want as long as you don't do/say anything offensive to potential customers :) You can use our club banners if you want to ^^
ββββ Interior Designers ββββ
I think you've already talked among yourselves on how to do our layouts so I won't bother you too much xD Oh, and if you want to, you can join the Baristas when they do editions, claims, request etc. :D
ββββ To all the Crew Members ββββ
Heres to hoping that we'll be able to give our customers a great experience in our cafe :D As always, the Staff Lounge is always open for all of us to talk, share your ideas and have a bit of fun with each other xD I hope you guys enjoy what the Cafe can offer you guys ;D
Congrats! οΌ―(β§β½β¦)οΌ― You are now officially part of the Eternal Heavens Crew!
Sorry it took me so long to send you this! This more of a formal welcoming to you :)
As a Barista, you are free to make your own editions anytime you want! :D No quotas to
meet at all! I'll let you make as many editions you like to your hearts content ;D Oh, I
read about what you wrote on fields of expertise in your application. Well, you can
choose to become a card maker, claim maker, badge maker or someone who does graphic
requests for our customers like making forum sets, display pictures and profile layouts :)
As a Entertainment Specialist, you have my permission to create any threads you want as
long as it is geared for the entertainment of our Customers :) If you have any questions

Greetings, and welcome to the 2015 Winter / Spring Edition of the Namine's Café Newsletter
First, I would like to thank everyone who has joined the cafe, as well as those who actively support us. After being open for less than 18 months, we are closing in on 5000 members and 100 affiliations. And Namine's cafe just recently passed the incredible milestone of 8000 pages of chat comments (that's 160,000 comments), the first club in MAL to ever achieve this goal.
We have an amazing amount of things happening at the cafe: First, we have three major competitions coming, including an Anime Couples Competition, a Voice Actor Competition, as well as the 2nd Annual Namine's Cafe Best Girl Competition. We'll also be having several other small competitions along the way, including an Anime Scavenger Hunt, a Best Scene Competition, a card making competition, plus many more. In addition to our competitions, there some big news at the cafe. First of all, Skype is back!!! While we still have a dedicated IRC chat, we've brought back Skype, and it's as popular as it ever was in the cafe. Also, member card editions are returning to the cafe shortly, with some of the best card makers in MAL signed up to help make wonderful cards, so stop by early and often to see what cards are available.
The details for each of our event sare listed in the below spoilers:
Namine's Café Anime Couple's Competition
Following the success of our previous competitions we held last year, we've decided to follow that up with another competition. Last month, we held a vote on what type of character competition we should hold, and Couple's Competition won.
Here's how it works:
The competition takes place in two phases. The first phase is where everyone gets to nominate a couple for the competition. You can nominate up to 3 anime/manga couples. They must be a real couple in the anime (no wishful thinking here :-)), having at least dated or kissed in the anime as a minimum. You rank your nominees from 1 to 3. The ranking determines how many points each character gets, like so:
#1 choice is worth 5 points
#2 choice is worth 3 points
#3 choice is worth 1 points
The points each character gets from each members nomination are cumulative, and when the nominations are over, the points will be counted, and the top 32 couples will compete in a double elimination bracket style competition where then members vote on them in one on one, er... two on two, competitions xD.
The nomination phase will last 15 days, starting on Sunday, 2/15/2015, and will close on Saturday, 2/28/2015. The first voting competition will start on Tuesday, 3/3/2015. A new competition will start every day, and each vote is open for 2 days. If a couple wins, they move on to the next round. If a couple loses, they move to the single loss bracket, where they will face off against the other match losers. If a couple wins their match in the second bracket, they will move on for another match in the second bracket. If they lose a match in the second bracket, they are out. This means that even if your favorite couple loses, they still have a chance.
Here are the rules:
As stated above, you can nominate up to 3 anime/manga couples. It can be less than 3, but it cannot be more. Any couple over the first 3 will be removed.
The couple must be a couple in the anime/manga. If they are not, but are a couple, or have kissed or dated in a LN or VN, then they will be accepted (proof must be provided in this case). Straight, yuri, and yaoi couples are acceptable. For threesomes and love triangles, make a choice on which pairing to nominate (or nominate both separately :-)).
List the full name of both characters in the couple to be nominated, as well as an anime that they are in. Hot-linking the characters to their MAL page is welcome, but not required.
Only one nomination list per member, please.
Namine's Café Second Annual Best Girl Competition
Our first competition last year, the Moe Competition, was an incredible success. This is the second annual competition, but instead of just moe girls, all girls will be allowed to be nominated.
Here's how it works:
Similar to last year's Moe Competition and the Couples Competition, this competition also takes place in two phases. The first phase is where everyone gets to nominate supporting characters for the competition. Since we're allowing all girls, we're also increasing the field of play. You can nominate up to 7 anime characters, listed in the MAL database. They can be your favorites, or just characters that you believe are the most cool. You rank your nominees from 1 to 7. The ranking determines how many points each girl gets, with special bonus points for #1 & #2 pics, like so:
#1 choice is worth 10 points
#2 choice is worth 7 points
#3 choice is worth 5 points
#4 choice is worth 4 points
#5 choice is worth 3 points
#6 choice is worth 2 points
#7 choice is worth 1 point
The points each character gets from each members nomination are cumulative, and when the nominations are over, the points will be counted, and the top 64 girls will compete in a single elimination bracket style competition where then members vote on them in one on one competitions.
The nomination phase will last 15 days, starting sometime in March (exact date TBD). The first voting competition will start shortly after the nominations have been closed. A new competition will start every day, and each vote is open for 2 days. Because the field will be double the size of the other competitions, the best girl competition will be single elimination and not double elimination.
Here are the rules:
As stated above, you can nominate up to 7 anime girls.
The nominee must be listed in MAL, and must be in at least one an anime - sorry, but no pure manga girls allowed. Furthermore, nominees must be female - no traps allowed.
List the full name of each character to be nominated, as well as an anime that she is in. Hot-linking the character to their MAL page is welcome, but not required.
Only one nomination list per member, please.
No double nominating. Meaning that the same character is nominated as your 1st and 3rd choice. If this happens, the 2nd listing will be removed.
Namine's Café Voice Actor Competition
Another competition we'll be having is the Voice Actor Competition
Here's how it works:
The competition takes place in three phases. The first phase is where everyone gets to nominate Voice Actors the competitions. You can nominate up to 5 Japanese Voice Actors, and up to 5 non-Japanese Voice Actors. Following the nominations, there will be two separate competitions: one for Japanese VAs and one for non-Japanese VAs. The VAs must be listed in MAL. You rank your nominees from 1 to 5. The ranking determines how many points each character gets, like so:
#1 choice is worth 5 points
#2 choice is worth 4 points
#3 choice is worth 3 points
#4 choice is worth 2 points
#5 choice is worth 1 point
The points each VA gets from each members nomination are cumulative, and when the nominations are over, the points will be counted, and the top 32 Japanese VAs and the top 32 non-Japanese VAs will compete in separate single elimination bracket style competition where then members vote on them in one on one competitions.
The nomination phase will last 15 days, starting sometime in April / May (exact date TBD). The first voting competition will start shortly after the nominations have been closed. A new competition will start every other day, with the Japanese and non-Japanese matches alternating, with each vote open for 2 days. Because there will be two separate competitions, the field will be double the size of the other competitions, similar to the best girl competition, so the VA competitions will be single elimination and not double elimination.
Here are the rules:
As stated above, you can nominate up to 10 Voice Actors - 5 Japanese and 5 English a/o non-Japanese.
The VAs must be listed in MAL.
List the full name of the VA, as well as at least one to two characters they've portrayed (so that others know who they are). Hot-linking the VAs to their MAL page is welcome, but not required.
Sometime witin the next couple of months, we'll hold an Anime Scavenger Hunt. There will be prizes for the winners.
Here's how it works:
The scavenger hunt will actually be a series of hunts, differing in levels of difficulty. Every couple days, a list will be pulished at the cafe for a new hunt. The list will contain objects, characters, quotes, etc. The job of the hunters is to find what anime the items on the list come from.
Here are the rules:
Each list will contain a set of items that need to be identified from specifica anime. The list will also include a MAL user account
If an item on the list can be found in multiple anime, listing o ne of the anime is acceptable
Teaming up is allowed
When all the items have been identified, a PM needs to be sent to the user account identified on the list. The first PM, based on datestamp, that correctly identifies everything on the list is the winner.
Namine's Café Best Scene Competition
Another competition the cafe will be having is the best scene competition.
Here's how it works:
The competition takes place in two phases. First, anyone can nominate up to two scenes that they like in anime - either it's really funny, sad, kawaii, uber-erotic, etc. To enter a nomination, members will need to make a snippet of an anime containing that scene and turn it into a video. Scenes can be up to 5 minutes long. The first 50 scenes will be accepted. If turnout is high, that can be increased. Once all the nominations are in, the compettions will begin. Each week, 5 scenes will be selected at random and added to a poll therad. The top vote counter will win that week. The #2 vote counter will also stay alive. Follign the 10 weeks of voting, the 10 2nd placers will compete in 2 weekly votes, with the 2 winners added to the 10 1st placers. The 12 remaining scenes will vote in 4 separate votes of 3 random scenes each, with the winner going to the final. The championship will be a week long vote of the final 3 scenes. The one who submitted the winning scene will win a major prize.
Namine's Café card making competition
Namine's cafe will hold a card making competiton, where anyone who wants to try to make a card can join. Once the competition starts, there will be a 2 - 3 week period where everyone can make and submit a single member card. The cards (exact number TBD), will then be pitted against each other in head to head competitions. Don't think you can make a card - don't worry so much. Try your cand at making a card and who knows, if coul dbe amazing.

Namine's Café Official Steam Group Activities
As many of you are aware, the Cafe has it's own Steam Group. Please click here for more information on the Steam Group, and to get an invitation to it. We are currently planning some possible Steam game tournaments in the future, and feedback on this would be awesome. Also, we may be getting our Minecraft server back, as well.
Ah, sorry for my late reply... things have gone crazy lately, so please don't be too angry if I reply late.
So you like romance, hehe? More like Shoujo/Shounen romance or romance in general?
Right now I'm watching:
Akatsuki no Yona - Nice shoujo. Story is very original and unique.
Death Parade - I love it. The psychological genre is always a very interesting one. The combination of game+Psychology is very good implemented.
Parasyte - Typical Action Horror Seinen, I guess. Still enjoyable though.
Kuroko no Basuke - Sports Anime. Good Looking boys. OMG. I'm fangirling too much...
Black Butler (season 1) - This seems to be quite a classic. I just have seen ep 1, concept seems to be very interesting though. I will continue to watch it.
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - The music part is nice, but the romance part seems too... cliche.
Tokyo Ghoul - same as Parasyte.
