Fuck Yeah Personified War Machines

It’s been said that only the images from the Character List are allowed to be used and manipulated for bots, icons, banners and such. However, other comics and such are still not allowed.

Since there’s uncertainty to the exact rules, persay, please continue to refrain from posting her art anywhere. I’ve taken down the recent post of one such image to this tumblr as well. It looks like the character list images are okay, thought!

So sorry for the miss-communication, everyone!

IMAGE USE RULES UPDATED:

GO READ THE FULL TRANSLATED UPDATE HERE

It looks like Rokuzaki has updated her rules on using official art. You CAN use anything on her website now for icons/banners/posting on tumblr, ect. However, anything scanned from the book that is not on the website is NOT allowed to be used, as well as anything you must pay for. So images from the goods that are being sold or exclusive to the printed manga are not to be used for anything.

Does this mean scanalations of the online comics in the near future? Possibly!

But I do ask that all our lovely followers continue to remain respectful of the other rules, the images and their contents. Not everyone will like JKMM, its characters, or it’s concepts, so please remember that when you post, cosplay, ect.

NEW CO-LEADER:

They’ll be introducing themselves soon, but I’ve recently asked a friend of mine to help me run this tumblr so a long hiatus like the one I just accidentally took won’t happen again. You might notice some changes, or at least that there’s two different writing styles on here very soon, but don’t worry, this new co-leader loves JKMM just as much as I—in fact, they’re the one who introduced me to it! So be sure to give a warm welcome, everyone!

UPCOMING JKMM EVENT:

It looks like there will be a fanwork promoting event in the works on the JKMM LJ community, so those of you who want to help get the fandom more active and perhaps produce new work for your unappreciated characters/pairings, ect, go check it out HERE! I’ll post if this event gets rolling!

reibird asked: Any Panther or Tiger fanworks about? I've searched the whole Midnight Navy pixiv tag, however, it's rather... abysmal ;A;'''

They're not very popular with the Japanese fandom "orz

I’ll see if I can find any! Sadly, there are a lot of characters who don’t get the fanart they deserve right now… But hopefully that just motivates everyone to try making some themselves!

Anonymous asked: I don't know if it anything for him exists but... BISMARCK PLEASE? <3333

…Hnng Bismarck….

Erm, I mean what…?

I’ll be doing an “I’M BACK!” spam in a bit, and I’ll be sure to include him!

heir-of-buckteeth asked: i have a question for you. i just found out about this whole like fandom and stuff. I never heard about this but the series uniforms and character designs are very intriguing and they have caught my eye and i would love to learn more about this manga series if that's ok. I cant really find a wikia for this series if you can give me more info that would be awesome c:

Hello! And welcome to the Midnight Navy fandom!

Basically, Japanisches Kaiserreich Mitternacht Marine//JKMM//Midnight Navy is a series about the personification of WW2 war machines. It’s main focus is the Japanese Military [as suggested by the title] and their allies/rivals. Each character is either a personification of a general design [Wildcat, Hellcat, Zero, Sherman, ect] or a specific machine [Bismarck, U-1224, I-8, ect]. Each character has their own personality, grouping, and usually a pairing that the author ships, but since the canon is fairly new at the moment everything is pretty open. 

Rokuzaki, the author, is very protective of her art, and thus does not want it reblogged, reposted, used in things like icons or banners, ect. So there are no scanalations or translated manga. However, there are script translations and character bios available on the Midnight Navy Livejournal community, seen here: http://midnight-navy.livejournal.com/

The LJ also has a post each time Rokuzaki updates her website, so it’s a great place to keep an eye out for things.

The fandom is pretty small right now, and very respectful of Rokuzaki’s rules, so be sure to follow them as well as you proceed into the series!

If you have any more questions, be sure to let me know!

Anonymous asked: Hey there~
At first I think you do a great job! x3 This site rocks!

And now I've got a few questions, I hope it's okay.. =^-^= :
Do you think there is the possibility that a anime arrives from JKMM in future ? :3
Will be there a Manga Volume 2?
And I have never seen Ocs from JKMM o,o Why not? Is it forbidden ?x__x
I would love to design a Oc *-* what about you?:)
And finally it would be cool, if you post some pictures from Panther and Tiger :3
They need more love! D:

Nice greetings :]

First of all, thanks muchly! 

Questions are fine, I’ll answer them to the best of my ability.  

Do you think there is the possibility that a anime arrives from JKMM in future ? :3

As with any series, there’s always a possibility. Especially now that short episode animes such as Axis Powers: Hetalia and Starry✰Sky are gaining popularity. However, personally, I’m not keen on there being one for JKMM. The fandom is rather small—which a lot of people mention is their favorite part about it—and I can only see it becoming an anime if there is a drastic expansion on the canon material and a boom in popularity. And the subject matter is a whole other can of worms. As it were, Rokuzaki’s requests to her fandom also limit the expansion since some potential fans can’t be bothered to follow the strict rules she’s set like the rest of the fandom. This makes a boom in popularity such as Hetalia rather difficult, but also shows the maturity of the fans involved because we do try to follow her rules. I think that I’d rather wait to see and enjoy the stories she has to tell in manga form before wishing for an anime.

Will be there a Manga Volume 2?

That I don’t know for sure. The release of JKMM’s first manga was rather recent, and contained a great deal of the strips on the main website. Plus, with the current situation in Japan, I don’t think we’ll be expecting the same output from Rokuzaki as before. In the future? Perhaps, especially if the artist sees how much people are enjoying her series. But I don’t foresee a new manga being published anytime soon. In the mean time, buy the first manga and check out the other merchandise for JKMM—support the artist!

And I have never seen Ocs from JKMM o,o Why not? Is it forbidden ?x__x
I would love to design a Oc *-* what about you?:)

There are no official rules regarding OC’s being created, so no, it’s not forbidden. Personally, I see so much opportunity and potential yet unexplored with the canon characters that I’m less inclined to create a new one myself. There are some characters we hardly know about, and we don’t know how most of them relate to one another since Rokuzaki favors certain groups and pairings for her strips. This, however, should not discourage others interested in creating OCs—if that’s how you celebrate fandom, then go ahead and do it! As a fan, however, I’d love to see more fanfic and fanart being produced of the canon characters before I focus on creating my own. 

And finally it would be cool, if you post some pictures from Panther and Tiger :3
They need more love! D:

 I’m in the process of gathering pictures for a Te-Ke spam, but I’ll keep an eye out for new Panther and Tiger pics to post after! 

Thank you for all the questions! 

Anonymous asked: Ahhh, this isn't a post request, but I just wanted to thank you for the SpitxMesser photos! I (and others too) understand that real life happens, but I just wanted to thank you for getting to it! I adore Spit and Messer so I really appreciate it, and I must say, it's so awesome of you for taking requests and sharing all the art and info. Keep it up~ *___*!

Thank you, anon! I’m so sorry it took so long, but I’m glad you enjoyed the Spit/Messer spam! I’ll keep my eye out for more art and post it when I can. 

Thanks again for the awesome encouraging comment ♥
