texts:
What is the primary principle of controlling Jinchuuriki? I can think of two possibilities:

Control on hatred/negative thoughts;
Will and wish of tailed beast.

Killer Bee could easily get in a good relationship with Hachibi. We can recall the Falls of Truth incident of Bee, where he could easily pass it in a second, because he didn't have any hatred about anyone around him in his heart. So is it because he had suppressed negative thoughts, hence he got his tailed beast under control? Or is it because Hachibi himself is a really good guy, who is broadminded enough to lend his chakra to Bee?

texts: Why always "skirt-flipping" fan-service's (mini-skirt blowing up.)?

texts:
Sometimes in anime/manga, I see some scene's where the MC flip the skirt of the heroine, or even some random character with a cute face. I know there are many kind of fan-service's like groping breast, yuri scene's, etc. But why is it almost always skirt flipping ? Like it is the standard of fan-service.

Is there story behind it? Where does this originate from?


texts:
I'm quite familiar with the soundtracks of many anime, yet, especially for bigger anime, like Naruto, I notice that there are many soundtracks that are never officially released.

I can understand it if that soundtrack was very similar to another that was released, meaning it doesn't need any attention of its own, but there are plenty of amazing soundtracks that remain unreleased.

Why do they do this, especially after composers put so much hard work into them?


texts: How did Dante or the Homonculus seal Greed the first time?

texts:
In Full Metal Alchemist, Greed was imprisoned for 140 years (I think, please correct if wrong). My question is:

Who sealed Greed? How was he sealed/what type of transmutation/technique was used, and why was he sealed away for so long?

I am pretty sure I'm missing something, but I don't understand what.


texts: Did Kakashi eventually surpass Itachi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru?

texts:
In the Naruto manga, Kakashi Hatake has been acknowledged by both Jiraiya and Tsunade to be one of Konoha's most powerful shinobi. But Kakashi himself had confessed that Orochimaru was on a completely different level from him, who in turn openly acknowleged that Itachi Uchiha was more powerful than him. Obito Uchiha was noted to be more powerful than any other Uchiha except Madara Uchiha, whom Kakashi defeated.

My question is, at the time when Kakashi defeated Obito, had he surpassed all of Tsunade, Jiraya, Orochimaru and Itachi? Is there any reference in the manga itself from which a definite answer can be given, either in the affirmative or in the negative?

Note:- Before posting any answer to the question please read most (if not all) of the answers that's already posted below.

texts: What is this manga about a male high schooler who just ridiculously excels at everything?

texts:
I used to follow a manga with the main character a first year high school student who just ridiculously excels at everything, and I mean everything. From math to frog jump and handling bullies.

The character is tall with tidy short hair in formal style (like Sanji but black, no bangs and tidier). He wears glasses that he tends to fix gracefully or stylishly like how smart people usually are portrayed in manga, always dresses very neatly, and can run very fast and possibly almost fly. He doesn't talk much unless necessary, and he shows his thoughts through direct actions which most of the time are unpredictable.

The last part that I remember is that he was treated to be a servant by a bully gang leader of the upper year, but he was serving the bully too well, that the bully ended up looking up to him.


texts: Source for Perfect Blue's camera negative being destroyed

However I can't find any supporting source that this is true. Could someone find the source of this information (probably in Japanese)?


texts: Who is the voice actress for the 'young' Nori-chan from the anime Kiznaiver?

texts:
Unless I am mistaken, it seems as if Nori-chan from the anime Kiznaiver has two different voice actresses. One for the 'young' Nori-chan and one for the main part of the story.

My question -
Who is the voice actress for the 'young' Nori-chan?

The young voice can be heard in

season 1 episode 1 at the start of the episode
and season 1 episode 10 at around the 21m:44s (timing includes opening song).

I'm sure I've heard this voice before, it is incrediby irritating.

I got the impression that each one could have beaten Evileye on their own, but the only reason Entoma didn't was because of vermin bane.

And then later it is shown that Koro-sensei was drinking tomato juice, and with the help of his one tentacles he faked that scene and helped Tadaomi.

So my question is: how did he get that tomato juice? Is it possible that he was keeping it from the start, or did he try to escape and then got one?

texts: Why hasn't Team Rocket's Meowth evolved?

texts:
This is a question I have been wondering about - why hasn't Team Rocket's Meowth evolved, or rather (since it's kind of easy to answer that question) will he or can evolve?

The core to that question is that we see Meowth is envious of Giovanni's Persian, and when he imagines himself being petted by Giovanni he isn't imagining himself as Persian but as Meowth, so it kind of brings the question - is Meowth like Ash's Pikachu and doesn't want to evolve? I mean, he sure can imagine himself being petted by Giovanni as Persian, since its evolved form is surely better than Meowth itself, so it's clear why Giovanni would want Persian over Meowth, and Meowth should know that even so he doesn't imagine himself evolving, so that means he can't evolve from some reason?

I have a pretty good theory for an answer but I would be happy for a more sourceable answer if anyone has.


texts: In Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale, how does Asuna know about the boss' healing ability?

texts:
The final fight against the level 100 boss has two parts to it:

Kirito and his usual group of friends go up against it alone.
Asuna, and everyone else from ALO and GGO join in.

In the 1st half of the battle, Kirito and friends basically get annihilated. In this first part, they observe that the boss will heal itself with a tree and drop of water.

In the 2nd half of the battle where everyone is in, the boss attempts to heal itself again. But Asuna tells everyone to block the drop of water to stop the healing.

Asuna wasn't there yet when the boss first healed itself. She wasn't watching either as she was talking to Yuuna and not in full dive.

How did she know about the move to tell everyone to block it? Is this a plot hole? Or is there an explanation to it?


texts: Can gold be transmuted in the Fullmetal Alchemist continuity?

texts:
In the Fullmetal Alchemist manga/2009 anime, we learn that alchemists must obey three rules:

  Do not oppose the military

  Do the transmute gold

  Do not do human transmutation

Moreover, at one point in the early manga (probably chapter 3, according to Wikipedia), we see Ed transmute what appears to be gold from rocks, when he is duping Yoki into selling him rights to Youswell. (However, in the context of my question below, this might also be attributed to early-installment weirdness, since in the corresponding episode in the 2003 anime - episode 9 - I think we see Ed giving Yoki rocks that have been coated with gold from coins Ed got from Yoki.)

Both of the above seem to imply that transmuting gold is possible in the FMA universe, yet this seems to be contradictory given some other manga details. In the first chapter, we learn from Al that with alchemy, one can only transmute like from like. Being me, I read this to imply that the sort of conservation of mass alluded to when chemical equations are balanced generally applies in terms of what alchemy can do the FMA universe (at least in the more practical, mundane examples we see in the manga). (On a second read, I'm really not sure if that's a "correct" interpretation.)

Thus: is transmuting gold actually taken to be something possible in the FMA universe (or is it even possible to come to a conclusion about this)?

texts: What exactly is a false minoshiro in Shinsekai Yori?

texts:
I was quite curious to know what exactly a false minoshiro is.

For me, they seem to be some kind of bio-technology "machine" or cyborg or something of that sort, that has the capability of storing a lot of information. The reason I think they are not "naturally" occurring is because of the way they talk, which seems to be similar to machine speech. However, they also seem to be similar to living beings, because the false minoshiro was able to surpass the program denying access to its data in order to be spared by Saki and her friend. Basically, what exactly are they, and where did they come from? Is that ever explained in the anime or the novel?

texts: How is the rarity of Devil Fruits determined in One Piece?

texts:
This is kinda an interesting topic, we often hear in the manga how certain types of Devil Fruits are rare (Logia, Mythical Zoan etc.)

But when Ace died, we had to wait for his fruit to reappear. This would suggest that his fruit is only one of the kind in the entire world. But at the Marine War arc, when Marco transforms into his pheonix form, it is revealed that his fruit is rarer than Logia.

So far I have yet to see 2 persons in OP that have the same DF, and are alive at the same time. So what does rarity of fruit mean?

texts: Where do the Naruto movies fall in the timeline?

texts:
I know that the Naruto movies are outside the timeline in the sense that they don't affect whatever happens after them. However, they must fall somewhere in the Naruto timeline — based on who are in the movies and how the characters look like, etc. For example, if Sasuke isn't in the movie, it should take place after he left. For each of the movies, approximately what timeframe (between episodes/arcs) are they set?

The movies:

Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
Legend of the Stone of Gelel
Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom
Naruto Shippuden the Movie
Bonds
The Will of Fire
The Lost Tower
Blood Prison
Road to Ninja
The Last - Naruto the Movie

texts: Who was the Supporter of the Seleção in Eden of the East?

texts:
It seems like this was never really addressed. This piqued my curiosity primarily because the supporter was stated by Mr. Outside to be one of the Seleção, and it seemed odd that one of the Seleção would willingly facilitate the game by enforcing its rules. Furthermore, the Supporter would have nothing to fear from breaking the rules of the game, so it would seem logical for him/her to pocket the money and do with it as he/she pleases. So that would seem to indicate that the Supporter is someone in league with Mr. Outside.

But who was the Supporter? All the evidence seems to indicate that it was Number XII, but can anyone confirm this?

texts: Name of a manga about angels and devils marriage for peace

texts:
I am looking for a manga where there is an angel princess who ran away from home and crossdressed as a boy to disguise. There is another girl who helps the protagonist - that girl is not only an angel, but she is also a guardian warrior thing (4 of them). The crossdressing girl ran away from marriage with a devil for peace. Her best friend while running away is the brother of the devil, but she didn't know he was a devil.

When angel royalty turns sixteen, they need to choose their gender. When the crossdressing girl turns sixteen, she was an ice general, but she wanted to be a lazy prince like her brothers. She had to be girl for marriage since she is the only one left that hasn't chosen her gender.


texts: Why does Ayaka Ohashi have the nickname "Hego-chin"?

texts:
Ayaka Ohashi is a Japanese voice actress (seiyu). She has nicknames such as "Hasshī" and "Hego-chin".
The word "Hasshī " is thought to be derived from her family name "Ohashi" .
However, there is no character anywhere in her name that could be the source of the sound "Hego-chin".
These days, she's known as "Hego". "Hego" is probably a shortened version of "Hego-chin".

Why does Ayaka Ohashi have the nickname "Hegochin"?


texts: Is the Super Saiyan 4 transformation from Dragon Ball GT confirmed non-canon?

texts:
Since the release of Dragon Ball Super, it is confirmed by Akira Toriyama and Toei that Dragon Ball GT is non-canon anymore. But I was wondering if there was still some elements of GT that have maybe been kept by the author and which would still be considered canon in the actual Dragon Ball Super manga/anime, and notably the Super Saiyan 4 transformation achieved by Son Goku and Vegeta.

I do know that the events that led to those transformations are not present in the real series timeline, and so that they would not be able to transform in SSJ4 right now. But did Akira Toriyama confirmed the fact of totally ruling out this transformation?


texts: Why do ninjas run with their hands at the back?

texts:
Ninjas in Naruto run with their hands at the back,

which is very different from normal anime character running.

Bob dies only after 23 days after he gives up the ownership of the death note, if he does or until his lifespan runs out.
Bob gets killed in 23 days.
Bob gives up ownership of his death note and then gets killed in 23 days.
Bob dies of a heart attack.

texts: Difference between manga and light novel written by same author

texts:
If both manga and light novel are written by the same author will there be any difference between them? I did a little digging in the internet for it, but all I got was the general difference between manga and light novel.

TBH, I am asking this question because it seems that English translation for the light novel "The Pervert Prince and the Stony Cat" aka "Henneko" written by Sou Sagara has been abandoned(I can't find better words than this). But the same author wrote the story of the manga version of the aforementioned LN and it's translation is finished and it also has ended publishing.

It's true that the aforementioned series is not really known to many people. Since I have an affinity to the ecchi genre, that's how I bumped upon this series.

texts:
Even innocent foolish children will grow up in the face of pain, until their thoughts and beliefs are same as their doubts

How can one's thoughts and beliefs be same as their doubts? I can't seem to understand this sentence. One of the biggest reasons I watch Naruto is because of its extraordinary philosophical background.

My reasoning on this quote: Children who grew up in war prone areas always doubt if they deserve to live on this planet or some form of source that ends the suffering. So, here their doubts are, is there really a chance for me to live without pain? An intuitive assertion being that, such a form of life will be impossible and cannot exist and the only way to live is to try and survive against all odds and doing whatever it takes. This enters their belief system and intern imparts their thoughts making them accept the fact that life is not fair for them. Is this interpretation correct or is there a different one?

texts: Boogiepop and Others Promotional Trailer references

texts:
2019's "Boogiepop and Others" TV series has a promotional trailer. However the trailer is kind of "fake", because many footage are not present in the actual TV show.

On Opera stage
A man fighting a fire ability user
Boogiepop walking closer to another girl, and the background switches with each swing from Boogiepop

Are these referencing other unadapted stories in the series? If yes, which are those?


texts: What's the significance of the grandfather clock in Elfen Lied?

texts:
In the anime Elfen Lied, Kouta and Yuuka own a grandfather clock that, if I recall correctly, has been broken for quite some time prior to the start of the series. At the very end of the final episode, Kouta and Yuuka sit down (with Nana and Mayu, I believe) to start their new life... only for the grandfather clock to mysteriously start chiming, apropos of nothing, just as

   a figure implied to be Lucy approaches the front door.

I never understood what the deal was with the grandfather clock, and why it suddenly began working again at the end. I'm guessing that it must be symbolic of something, but I can't think what it might be symbolizing. If it's meant to symbolize Kouta moving on with his life, then

   Lucy apparently showing up again rather ruins that.

What is the significance of the grandfather clock in Elfen Lied?


texts: What order should the Fairy Tail volumes/chapters be read in? And how to read labelling "Fairy Tail 465 - 400 Years"?

I've watched up to episode 120 of the Fairy Tail anime and want to start to read the manga, while I finish the anime. I'm quite new to reading manga and know how to read them, it's just working out which one is the first one I find difficult.

I would really like to get the first manga (in the story) for a Christmas present but I don't know which one is first.

I started to read what was listed as the first one on a manga website (Labelled as Fairy Tail 465 - 400 Years) to check if it was and ended up reading the spoiler:

   That Natsu is Zeref's brother!

Can someone please help me by telling me which manga I need to read first and what is the order of the others?

And

If possible, Can someone explain the labelling "Fairy Tail 465 - 400 Years"? so that I know what to look out for in the future, to prevent spoiling it for myself.

texts: Why is "Taisha" written as "general pardon"?

texts:
In Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru, the organization that is responsible for doing things involving the god-tree is called "Taisha". The official (Crunchyroll) subs don't translate this word, but in Japanese, it's written 大赦. As far as I can tell, this is a legal term meaning "general pardon", which is a type of pardon in Japanese law that applies to all people convicted of a particular crime or class of crimes (as contrasted with 特赦 tokusha "special pardon", which applies only to specific people). This is a very strange name for an organization.

What is stranger still is that if you know Japanese and you had never seen the term written down, you would probably think that it would be written as the homophone 大社, which means "grand shrine", which makes a lot more sense as the name of an organization.

What is the logic behind writing "Taisha" as "general pardon"?

(I am aware of the "theory" suggesting that you can rearrange the strokes of 友奈 "Yuuna" and get 大赦 "Taisha" [see image]; I do not think that the theory has any merit, since it involves rearranging strokes in a way that does not respect the radicals involved.)


texts: How does an Element based Chakra release work

texts:
Only a few specific people are able to release elements across their entire body to form Chakra modes of that nature. Examples being Raikage and Kakuzu. The 3rd and 4th Raikage were able to pass Lightning release accross their entire bodies while Kakuzu could do the same with earth style.

What i'm trying to understand is why the Lightning release that the 3rd and 4th Raikage used never seemed to affect or harm them in any way. I'm asking this because During Sasuke Vs Deidra, Sasuke did lightning release on his entire body and he took a lot of damage. But on the other hand the 4th and 5th Raikage's could do this without any problems or damage from coming in contact with the lightning.

Is there some kinda explanation as to why that is? I'm thinking that those 2 probably had a lot of Immunuty to lightning but nothing like that has ever been mentioned before.

texts: Where can I watch the original FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies?

texts:
All English dub version of Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies I can find is the re-dub with the Kai voices.

The reason I want this is because it's weird to go from Stephanie as the voice of Goku on the anime to Colleen on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Dragon Ball movies, and then back to Stephanie again on the 4th movie.

Where can I watch the original FUNimation dub of the movie?

texts: What is the complete story of King Artoria in Fate?

texts: The story of King Artoria differs from the real world story of King Arthur, although even the latter have a lot of variations. In the Fate series, there are bits and pieces of Artoria's life being revealed in each iteration of the game. But is there a complete story of the King Arthur story in Fate from beginning to end? Is her story even interconnected in each of the Fate works?


texts:
In Dragon Ball Heroes episode 26 Pan appears with yellow aura but black hair. In canon and non canon Dragon Ball that can be an incomplete super saiyan or an animation mistake (ie Goku fighting alongside Freezer vs Jiren, the false super saiyan in the Lord Slug movie, or Krilin in the bio-Broly movie)

Did Pan turn super saiyan in Dragon Ball Heroes episode 26?

texts: Why did Mayuri kill 28,000 Rukongai citizens?

texts: In The Thousand-Year Blood War arc, Mayuri killed 28,000 Rukongai citizens in order to balance the soul count. According to him, this was done because there were a lot of Hollows disappearing, causing an overflow of souls in the Human World. If Mayuri 'killed' souls in Soul Society, wouldn't they reincarnate in the Human World, causing even more soul overflow?

texts: Is it possible for a genin to become a jonin?

texts: In Naruto, by the end of Shippuden (ignoring the epilogue), neither Naruto nor Sasuke had ever passed the chunin exams. Given that the chunin exams seem to be held sporadically (two years between the ones in Naruto Part 1 and the ones being shown in the anime currently), it seems possible that other genin would end up in this situation. Is it possible for those genin to go directly to being jonin, or do they have to wait for possibly dozens of years (depending on how sporadically the chunin exams are held) to become a chunin first?


texts: Do I need to watch "Railgun T" first to understand "Index 3" more easily?

texts:
I currently rewatching the To Aru series with all spin-offs (have only seen the first 2 Index and Railgun seasons years ago). My question is, after watching the first 2 seasons of Index and Railgun and Accelerator, should I watch Railgun T or Index 3 first?
I heard Index 3 is a strong rushed series and really hard to follow if someone doesn't know the novel or the manga. Will Railgun T help with that, or is it not of any help to understand Index 3? Is it, in the first place, hard to understand?

Note that his is not a duplicate of What happens to a titan shifter if they die without being eaten as this is not about what happens when a titan shifter dies. But what happens if a titan shifter with 2 powers dies, which is not answered in the answer.

He may be fast to run in the air or something like that. But when he is flying he is not upright, he is laying down like super man.

He may also use his tentacles as propulsion, but as seen whenever he is flying it seems his tentacles are just there.


texts: Was the post-rebellion Madoka still a Magical Girl?

Unmarked Spoilers

Since Homura separated "the Madoka that was before attaining divinity" from the Law of Cycles, is the Madoka post-rebellion a Mahou Shoujo?

I'm talking about the Madoka that shows up as the "transfer student" at the end of rebelllion. And being a magical girl in that context means having one's soul in a soul gem.


texts:
In Bleach, season 1 episode 3 (around 19:00) Orihime's brother, who is a Hollow, stabs himself with Ichigo's Zanpakuto.

Soul Reapers are supposed to have the power to exorcise the Hollows to send their souls to the Soul Society; however, it is implied here that it isn't necessarily the Soul Reaper who exercises the soul, but rather the Zanpakuto itself.

Is there a clear definition on how this whole process is supposed to work? Or can Hollows just commit suicide with a Zanpakuto and have their soul cleansed as if the Soul Reaper had done it?


texts:
I don't remember the episode, but this happened in a flashback about Kabuto's backstory. Kabuto was on a mission and his 'mother' attacked him and Kabuto attacked her back. Then he realised that it was her and he said 'Mother' but she asked 'Who are you?' and he told her that he was Kabuto. Later Orochimaru tells him that they used gradual brainwashing on her, i.e, they showed her doctored pictures of Kabuto to make her forget how he looks.

But he even called her 'Mother' and told her that he was Kabuto, it's just impossible for her to not have recognized him.

EDIT: Some of you are saying that she was brainwashed so she didn't recognize him. But actually she knew that a person called Kabuto existed, she just didn't know that the Kabuto she saw was the real Kabuto. But since he called her mother and even told her that he was Kabuto she should have figured out it was him.

Even if he looked different, she could have guessed that he was in disguise or something, and he didn't look very different from the pictures they showed Nonou.

texts: What was the purpose behind the personification of certain elements in The Wind Rises?

texts:
In The Wind Rises, certain elements of the story are personified. From the beginning, we see an earthquake and fire, both of which are given very humanlike sounds, as well as being shown very artisicially (like the ground moving in waves instead of just shaking). Later, the planes in the movie are personified as well, their components and demonstrations being given very humanesque and biological sounds.

As Jiro and Honjo look around a plane in flight, an engine makes very gurgly sounds which are distinctly biological and not mechanical. Other planes do this as well, even in a scene which shows one of Jiro's designs as a conceptualization.

Obviously, the movie is very plane-centric and so the personification of the planes makes sense (to bring them to life). However, these other lifelike elements did not seem to fit into the more serious setting of this movie, compared to a movie like Ponyo.

What is the purpose of bringing these elements "to life" in The Wind Rises? And why was it these elements that were chosen?

texts: Why are most isekai happening in a medieval world? I have been reading some of these and I actually can't recall of any in which the story is happening in an other era than in a medieval period. Why is that? Is it common in Japanese videogames too, as some like Dragon Quest and the first Final Fantasy had this background too? Was Japan influenced by the culture of European countries for this theme to be recurrent? Or am I just reading too few novels and I'm only interested in the same genre?


texts: What is Kirito's relationship with the girls of SAO?

texts:
In the first and second seasons of SAO, Kirito seemed to be interested in more than one girl at the same time. At the end they are all friends and such, but they are all jealous of him and he likes them back and all.

Some would argue Asuna is the real girlfriend, but:

In the cave with Sinon (SAO II, ep.11, 20:30), Sinon asks "Is there someone you don't want seeing this?" Kirito shyly answers no.
While introducing Asuna to Sinon, Kirito only said that Rika and Asuna were his friends. Asuna looked okay, a bit like she was thinking "Yeah I'm just his friend."

These two occasions got me wondering: is he playing them all at the same time or something?

What I'm asking for is something like a timeline, which shows when Kirito likes whom.


texts: Manga where a daughter pays off her father's debt?

texts:
I remember reading it a few months back, I have forgotten the name of it and some parts of it are quite fuzzy to me now. Can someone help. It has been on my mind for a while and I have been desperately trying to find it!

The manga was about a young high-schooler girl whose father was in
debt. Her father basically leaves her to pay it off himself? Or
something along the lines of that by working on a boat but something
happens to his back as part of the plot in the manga.
Then, she becomes a live-in housekeeper for a writer/author as she
gets recommended to him by someone. She did so in order to help her
father with the debt. She also tried getting a part-time job as a
hostess/waitress at a place. However, she's supposedly underage but
lies about her age.
While she works she recognizes this boy whom she met and fought over some
kind of food product/rice at the grocery store when they were younger.
She finds out he is the son of the person who has hired her at the store.
Unexpectedly, the author/writer comes in with the person who
recommended her to him. The author/writer gets mad at her because
she's underage and working there. He asks if the money he pays her is
not enough.
She begs the boy to not tell his mother that she is underage? There's
also this part somewhere in the manga where her panties are stolen by
a weird man and the author gets her panties back for her. I also
think she realized she was developing feelings for this
author/writer.

The manga is also currently on-going as far as I remember!

Thanks in advance xoxo :) <3

texts: Dragon Ball Super Goku Black vs Majin Buu?

texts:
Ok so this question has been bothering me for a long time: why didn't Majin Buu help Goku and Vegeta fight Goku Black/Zamasu? I honestly feel like he could have done at least some serious damage to Goku Black, either by just being the pink blob that is almost impossible to kill or by absorbing him. Goku Black would have almost no way to kill him other than simply overwhelming him, but Goku, Vegeta and Trunks would be there to help. It just makes no sense. It could be a plot hole or something I just missed in the anime.

If someone could take some time to answer this for me that would be great.

They are making something weird, or should we call it a weapon - right there on the table?

What I want to ask is, are they assassins? Or do they have another identity besides being obsessed with Yuhei-sama ?


texts: Does the original jutsu user feel anything when a shadow clone is dispersed forcefully?

texts:
According to the wiki,

  While the technique can be extremely beneficial, attempting to use multiple clones for training purposes can be mentally harmful to the user, as not only is all the experience collected by the user, but so is all the mental stress from training each clone

Now, when a clone is destroyed, there must be some mental stress involved. So does Naruto (or anyone else) feel anything when their shadow clones are dispersed?

Nothing has been shown to indicate this (at least in the anime). I was wondering why this would not be applicable.

texts: Why does all of Grisaia anime series have a weird video format?

texts: Typically when an anime airs, it's resolution is 1280x720 and gets downscaled to 853x480, 640x360, or even upscaled to 1920x1080. However, one of the odd things I noticed about Grisaia no Rakuen is that it has black bars on the top and bottom; removing these black bars shows it's true resolution: 1280x544, which is particularly odd. Is there a reason why they drew/animated/produced Grisaia series at a weird resolution?

He has a female friend with gray hair and glasses.


texts: What's this anime on the DVD cover in part of this photo?

texts:
A friend of mine linked me a following meme picture:

I would like to know what's the name of the DVD he's holding in his hands.

I think I've once seen that DVD cover he is holding in his hands but for the life of me can't recall anything from it. No name, nothing.

For some reason this thing started to bother me and so I'm wondering does anyone recognize the anime he's holding in his hands. But to be honest not sure if it's even an anime. I believe it was some kind of OVA but am not sure.

After searching for it for sometime I couldn't find anything. Hopefully someone knows better than me.

Thank you in advance.

texts:
In Yu Yu Hakusho (Ghost Fighter), Hiei knew who his sister was immediately without having any second thought. Though he had the Jagan eye, he couldn't see through the barrier that was placed around the place she was confined in the human world. Probably sibling instinct?

When he was still a newborn, he could already understand the people around him but it was never shown in the series that he also saw Yukina as a baby. When he had the Jagan eye, he found the place but not Yukina or Hina. Rui told him few about them but never her appearance specifically. When he opened his hand to get a single drop of snow it showed him memories that Yukina had. What if when he came to his birthplace he touched them and it showed memories of her too.

How did Hiei recognize his sister?

Chopper looks like he's crying for him.

I don't think he is the character on One Piece, is this some kind of tribute from Oda to someone? So, who is he?

texts:
After Madoka recreates the universe so that magical girls disappear before they become witches, there is a scene where Mami, Kyouko, and Homura come out from a battle and Kyouko is upset about Sayaka being gone.

Did Sayaka "disappear" during that fight, or did the three just come out from fighting her witch (thus Madoka not getting to Sayaka in time)?

In this image of Shanks from Luffy's hometown, Luffy was still quite young.

Why are there still many people after the first Infinite Tsukuyomi?

texts:
Near the end of season eight, Penny is infected by a virus and subsequently saved through the intervention of the spirit of the Staff of Creation. The only thing is, I didn't quite understand what Ruby and the others told the spirit to do. They told him to create a new version of Penny, but there was something in there about how the spirit couldn't destroy her soul and thus this little nuance would force him to save her. And I think Ruby said something about copying the virus as well. It was a bit confusing. I'm not entirely sure whether Penny's soul stayed in her old body and the virus was put in the new one, or if Penny's soul went into her new body and the virus was put in the new one.
What happened?


texts:
In every episode so far, Ryoka shoots/zaps Yuta with her Poya-gun, to which Yuta usually exclaims "POYA-GUN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

What exactly is the Poya-gun? It seems too advanced for her to have made it, but everyone writes it off as being a totally normal thing when she zaps Yuta with it. At first, I thought it might be occult-related, but seeing as how Yuta does not believe in the occult, it wouldn't make sense for one of his closest friends to use an occultic object in front of him on a daily basis.

Also, I have no reason to suspect that Yuta is not human, so his recovery is a bit superhuman if the Poya-gun is like a taser.

texts: In Sparks Liner High, could Avalon have saved Shirou?

texts:
In the Sparks Liner High ending of Heaven's Feel,

   Shirou ends up as a vegetable, since his mind has completely deteriorated.

 However, since he was lying next to Saber, could his deteriorated brain have been repaired by Avalon? Avalon is supposed to have ultimate regenerative properties, so wouldn't it be able to regenerate him?

 Not to mention, Avalon allows people to use techniques that would normally be too overbearing to the user (like how Kiritsugu could use higher levels of Time Alter). Shouldn't the same apply to Shirou?

texts:
I've been quite curious as to why some of the islands that Roger has travled into are also voyaged by the Straw Hat Pirates such as Skypiea, Mermaid Island, and Zou.

If I recall correctly, there are routes in Grand Line on which you can set sail by traveling on the path indicated by the log pose( A device that tells you the direction of next island from the current island).


texts: After hearing some dragon ball youtubers I remember one of them told that Akira Toriyama gives a bullet list of ideas he wants the anime and the manga artist Toyotaro to follow and then they have some freedom to develop the story, this is why we see differences in techniques, events, the order the characters are eliminated in the tournament of power, and by whom etc. But then, another youtuber, a spanish speaking one with 1,3 million followers said that aside of giving the primary ideas of the story, Akira gives some sort of supervision in the manga. Is this so? Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "more faithful" to Akira Toriyama ideas than the anime?

texts: Why aren't Kyuubi and Naruto real allies?

texts:
Several characters in the Naruto universe share their bodies with other entities, most of them are true allies. They share the Power both have, even if one has the upper hand controlling the body.

My question is, why doesn't this happen with Kyuubi and Naruto?

Several times Kyuubi saves Naruto with his red chakra out of hairy situations. Naruto is aware of it and sometimes they talk to each other.
Kyuubi is an evil Daemon, sure, but due to the fact tat he would die if Naruto died; and Naruto, as a Ninja, has a dangerous live; it would be in Kyuubi's advantage to help out, given that his Chakra is way stronger than Naruto's.

Why don't they team up?

EDIT: Question regarding Naruto Vanilla not Shipuuden or anything else.

Kirigaya Suguha's room is often portrayed in the ALO arc of Sword Art Online.

However, the animation studio is different and the link between the two shows is not clear to me.

What are these stuffed toys? Are these a citation of other anime or universes related to Sword Art Online production?

Tsar Pushka - Eastern Europe

texts: Does Fate/Strange Fake take place in the same timeline as any of the Fate/Stay Night routes?

texts:
One of the hardest things to wrap my head around in the Nasuverse has been what events belong to what timeline, this is just one example of that.

It seems like F/SF isn't contradicted by anything that happened in the F/SN timeline (that is if you consider the unusual 'rules' of the Fake Grail War to be permissible in the same universe as the normal Fuyuki GW).

So, is it more or less the same timeline? If not, does it belong to any other timelines(like the KnK one for example)?

texts: What are the processes involved betwen job submission and rewards?

texts:
According to Fairy Tail Wiki, there are different types of jobs with different levels of difficulty. From my understanding, any guild member can apply for the job and gets permission according to their level. There are some exceptions where the client ask for specific candidate(s), like in the case of Warrod Sequen. Marijane seems to be involved in job processing.

So I want to know the details on how the jobs are processed - from the moment the client submits the job to when the client rewards for job completion. If there are any other processes that are not mention below, feel free to add them to the list.

Are jobs submitted to every guild as advertisement or only to a specific Guild?
Is every job accepted by guild? And who is responsible for this?
Who is responsible for assigning the ranks of the jobs and giving permission to guild members to take the job if requested?
How does the payment work after the jobs are completed?
What happens when the mission fails?

If different guilds have different processes, then please use Fairy Tail guild as example.


texts: Why is the Fairy Tail post-hiatus OST so different from the pre-hiatus OST?

texts:
This may be just based in my own hearing abilities, but I think that many will agree that the post-hiatus Fairy Tail OST is quite different from the pre-hiatus OST.

For example, a lot of the pre-hiatus music were variations of the original theme song, and there would always be some kind of reincarnation of that theme pre-hiatus no matter how far the music started to stray from the original theme song.

But the post-hiatus music seems much different, despite the music being composed by the same person pre and post-hiatus. It never brought back the old theme, and briefly revisited one of the sad songs from the pre-hiatus series.

Is there any reason for such a drastic change in music, besides of course, time? It seems as if the composer Yasuharu Takanashi is trying to stray away from the old Fairy Tail style of music altogether in the post-hiatus series, which I think is quite strange, since I think that many will attribute some of the pre-hiatus serie's success to be largely due to the music being very aptly chosen and composed very well to emotionally connect the viewer to the show.


texts: In the Monogatari series, why do we hear camera flash sounds?

texts:
In the anime adaptation of Monogatari series, it's come to my attention that you often hear camera flash sounds when the character that narrates the arc blink. We first set a quick view of a specific spot (probably what the character is focused on) and then see the character's eyes blink with the sound of a camera flash.
The only theory I have so far is that things are going as they planned or they see an opportunity, but also it's possible that it happens because they're assimilating some information for later.
This question has really bugged me for a while and I haven't seen anyone else ask so I would love to hear from people.


texts:
When Sanji finds out Mr.3's hut in Little Garden, he answers a call by Mr.0, who mistakes him for Mr.3 himself.
We know that den den mushis look like whoever's speaking at the other side of the line, so Mr.0 (who should know who his subordinates are) should have recognized that it was not Mr.3
Is it maybe a special den den mushi that does not show the likeness of the individual, for the sake of not letting anyone know who Mr.0 is, or is there a different explanation?


texts: How closely does Ikki Tousen match Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

texts:
One of the pieces of character motivation in Ikki Tousen that I found interesting is that the characters get their powers from magatamas, basically stones containing the souls of people from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In exchange for this power, characters are (supposedly) cursed to play out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again, taking the role of the person whose soul they carry; some characters are aware of this and deliberately try to avoid their RoTK fates.

Which RoTK characters do each of the major Ikki Tousen characters correspond to, and are there any ways in which the Ikki Tousen overall plot breaks from the RotK plot (ignoring trivial differences that don't affect the ultimate fate of notable characters)?

Note: This is specifically about the manga, not the anime.

texts: Who is the mysterious Programmer of Angel Beats?

texts:
The Programmer is an unknown student from the anime Angel Beats. He is revealed to exist when Yuri, the leader of the SSS,

   decides to get to the root of what is causing malevolent creatures known as Shadows to manifest in the World.

The Programmer is widely credited with having created:

the Angel Player program
The AI
The Shadows

It is likely that he created the Angel Player program, as it existed before Kanade Tachibana entered the Afterlife.

It's almost certain that the AI was made by the Programmer, when he states that he is "simply obeying the rules" when asked what he is doing with the computers from PC Room 1.

Once love began to take hold in the World, after

   Yui disappeared,

The AI would have activated the Shadow program, also manufactured by the Programmer, to begin wiping out the SSS, Guild, and NPCs.

Now, the Programmer's background is one of mystery. It's a long story, so I'm going to take a leaf out of the Wikia's book here (with some minor edits).

  The Programmer's real name is unknown. But like Otonashi, he was never supposed to have entered the Afterlife, but somehow ended up there anyway.

  During his time in the Afterlife School, he fell in love with an unnamed girl who disappeared when her regret was fulfilled. Unwilling or unable to accept that, he decided to wait for her to return, which from the Afterlife School rules would require her to:

  Die during her teenage years (13 to 17 or so for a 4 year gap)
  Have a heavy regret

  If the girl lived an average of 85 years and reincarnated each time, there would be a 4/85 (teenage years)*9.83/1000(Japan death rate )*1%(Ad hoc chance of heavy regret)=~0.0004% every reincarnation. Each failure to hit this chance would lead to 85 years of waiting. A 10% chance to see her again would require 2.125 million years.

  The above calculations do not consider that the majority of the death rate is actually from the elderly rather than from teenagers.

  As expected, the amount stunned Yuri, due to the massive time required to be spent waiting. The AI explained that The Programmer lost his grip on sanity after waiting so long, and decided to create a program to turn himself into an NPC.

  As The Programmer felt that people who had resolved their sadness should not clutter the Afterlife School (much like patients should be discharged when they are cured rather than staying in the hospital), he created a program that kept track of the amount of love in the Afterlife School world. When the amount of love exceeded a certain amount, a "cleaning" program would be activated where NPCs would be changed into Shadows, which would in turn target humans and forcibly change them into NPCs, thus resetting the world into one where no humans existed.

(formatting mine)

So, who is the Programmer?

Theories are welcome if they're backed up with facts.

texts:
In episode 6 of Durarara!!×2 Shou, we see Mairu speaking lines that are attributed in chat to "Kyou" (狂) around 18:14. Later on, around 18:44, we hear Mairu's voice actor (Kitamura Eri) speaking lines that are attributed in chat to "San" (参), followed shortly by Kururi's voice actor (Kanemoto Hisako) speaking lines that are attributed to "Kyou".

Then there's the fact that Kururi is taciturn in person but "Kyou" is super-talkative in chat, while Mairu is a chatterbox in person and "San" just occasionally posts one-line replies in chat.

Another thing (which I might be making too much out of) - in episode 2 of Ten, Mika mentions that "San and Kyou are Mairu and Kururi", without specifying which one is which.

And, to be clear, the character used for "Kyou" can also be pronounced "Kuru" (as in 狂う), while the character used for "San" can be pronounced "Mai" (as in 参る) - the chat handles are clearly derived from their names.

I don't see how to reconcile all these details without concluding that both Kururi and Mairu use both "Kyou" and "San" as chat handles at various times. This seems like exactly the sort of trollish thing they would do (runs in the family, I imagine). Am I right in thinking so? Or have I misinterpreted something?


texts: Was Croix behind the football match controversy, or did she merely take advantage of it?

texts:
A major plot point in the final third of Little Witch Academia is a football match between the country Luna Nova is situated in and an unnamed "rival country", in which the rival country was awarded a goal that shouldn't have been awarded, leading to widespread protests. It's soon revealed that Croix has been covertly helping to escalate the protests and then feeding off the resultant negative emotions, in order to power her Noire Fuel Spirit.
I was expecting it to be revealed that Croix had somehow been responsible for the "goal" being awarded in the first place, but as far as I can tell, the details surrounding the events of the match are never really explained. Considering that those events literally fuel the last third of the plot, I find this a little unsatisfying.
Is there any evidence to suggest that Croix masterminded the controversy from the beginning? Or did it happen on its own, and she merely took advantage of it?

texts: What is canon in terms of Kotone's fate?

texts:
in Fate Zero, Episode 10 - Rin's Adventure shows how she was forced to move out of Fuyuki with her mother by her father in preparation for the 4th Holy Grail War, but runs away from home when her friend Kotone disappears like other children from her school and Rin attends the funeral of one of the children who were found mutilated in Fuyuki.

According to the Wikia for Kotone it says

  It is implied that Kotone meets the same gruesome fate as most of Ryuunosuke and Caster's other victims during the novel. ... She is never referenced again afterward. The anime version of the events play out differently, as Rin manages to follow Ryuunosuke to a old building where he is keeping a number of children. She finds Kotone among them, and she manages to save them all by shattering the magecraft that was holding them in a trance. Kotone returns to school afterward with the other victims.

Now watching the episode i can see how saving Kotone spurs Rin to study more to become the Magus she becomes in Fate/Stay Night however i am wondering, what is considered Kotone's fate in the canon (loosely used considering) and if she dies in the canon how does this affect Rin's motivation for study?

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka are both heiresses.

From what I can read from the wikia, Suzuka's family is from Triangle Heart 3 as her older sister Shinobu is one of the heroines; however, Suzuka herself doesn't exist.

For Arisa, it says her parents are company owners and she was adapted from Arisa Lowell; however, Triangle Heart 3 isn't patched in English, nor can I find a wiki for it explaining how much of Arisa Lowell was adapted to Arisa Bunnings.

So I am looking for information regarding the companies/businesses Suzuka's and Arisa's parents own which makes them so rich.

texts:
Mioko (voiced by Kana Hanazawa) uses some kind of unusual speech pattern which the subtitles translate into vaguely US Southern dialectal English:

Specifically, I can hear her using ora to refer to herself and ending her sentences with de gasu instead of desu. Wikipedia says ora is an informal pronoun with rural connotations, and this Google Books result says de gasu is a contraction of de gozarimasu, a very polite form of de aru.

You can hear it for yourself in Episode 7 starting around 24 seconds in.

Is Mioko's accent a specific regional accent, or is it just one of those made up bizarre speech patterns that anime specializes in?

texts:
In episode 21 of Sousei no Onmyouji, Mayura advises Benio to read a manga titled Hoshino Hitomi no Silhouette ("Hoshino Hitomi's Silhouette") to learn how to deal with Rokuro romantically.

After googling around a bit, I noticed that this work is a clear parody of a work with a homophonous title ― Hoshi no Hitomi no Silhouette ("Silhouettes of the Eyes of the Stars"), published 1985-89. The author of the fictional work is "Kaede Akane", whose name means "Maple-tree Red", while the real work is by Hiiragi Aoi, which can be read as meaning "Holly-plant Blue". I point this out to emphasize that this is clearly an allusion of sorts.

Mayura describes this manga as a "bible of romance", supposedly read by four million girls, and shows us these archetypical shoujo-romance scenes from the manga:

I don't have any context for why the author might have chosen to parody this particular shoujo romance manga, though. Might there be some sort of connection between Sukeno Yoshiaki (author of Sousei no Onmyouji) and Hiiragi Aoi? Or is Hoshi no Hitomi no Silhouette a particularly classic exemplar of shoujo romance manga?

texts: How did Chino's grandfather end up as a rabbit?

texts:
From the first episode of Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka? (Is the order a rabbit?) Chino's grandfather was depicted as a rabbit (very questionable since he didn't look like a rabbit, but the anime says so, so let's call him a rabbit). However, considering that both Chino's father and Chino are normal humans, and that the writer who often comes to Chino's cafe (Rabbit House) used to chat with the first owner (Chino's grandfather), there must be a time where he was a normal human. Otherwise, the writer lady would have noticed it was him when she saw the rabbit. Also since the rabbit has no arms (at least the first season doesn't show it having arms), and considering his size, he wouldn't be able to pour coffee. Has it been explained somewhere (anime and manga) why Chino's grandfather turned into a rabbit?

Note: I haven't watched the second season. Please carefully put spoilers if they come up.

I've been searching on DGM Hiatus Thread (Manga Helpers)

I've also been looking on Katsura Hosino's Instagram, not sure if it is verified that it's her's on not.
Finally I've also seen things on /r/manga that say that it's coming back.

The problem I have is that I can't find anything definite. I also wouldn't care if it started back up in either Japanese or English, I would learn Japanese if it meant I was able to start reading D.Gray again! Just wondered if you guys knew about anything more about it. Anything would be appreciated! Thanks!

texts: Is Nishikyougoku Ramuko a word play of Toushinou Kyouko?

texts:
When writing doujinshi, Toushinou Kyouko goes by the pseudonym Nishikyougoku Ramuko. Now, her name Toushinou Kyouko is written as 歳納京子. I'm not sure how her pseudonym is written since I wasn't able to find the original spelling for that name, but I think it would use the Kyou from Kyouko（京）in Nishikyougoku and Ko from Kyouko（子）in Ramuko. The first Nishi that I think of is（西）which means West, and the first goku I can think of is（国）which means Kingdom/Country. Thus, it would be somewhat a word play of her own name since Tou（東）in Toukyou（東京）means East.

Now, it is quite common for writers to use pen name that is similar to his/her real name and is related to him/her somehow. An example for this would be Joanne Rowling whose pen name was J. K. Rowling with the K. taken from her paternal grandmother's name, Kathleen. Another example would be the writer Saito Satoshi whose born name was Saito Tomohiro, more commonly known under his stage name as actor, Hiro Mizushima which uses the same Saito as in his real name. An example from another anime would be Kousaka Kirino whose pen name was Rino.

Which brings me to the question, is Nishikyougoku Ramuko really a play of her real name Toushinou Kyouko? Is my guess above correct (about the Nishikyougoku part)? What about the Ramuko part?

texts: Why are there so many references in Durarara?

texts:
I have currently watched nine episodes of Durarara!! and I am surprised about how many references there are. Some are quite obvious (they even talk about Accel World or Spice and Wolf sometimes):

Some others not so obvious:

(It's the Baccano-screen.)

I can understand these, as all three are published by Dengeki Bunko, but why are there so many? Also, I don't understand why they included Yozakura Quartet, since it's a manga and no Light Novel?
