texts: How come there are so many Dragon Slayers?

texts:
In Fairy Tail, they say that Dragon Slayers are really rare, but it seems like there's more of them than most other kinds of magic. The closest amount of one kind of magic is maker magic; there are 5 people who are shown using it (Lyon, Gray, Ur, Ultear, and Rufus). It's kinda the same thing with Celestial Wizards, they say there aren't many of them but there are 4 in the show (Lucy, Angel, Yukino, and Hisui. There's also Karen who died 3 years ago and I think there's more in the anime during the Clock Arc, but I don't think that is in the manga).

I kind of get why the Celestial Wizards were likely to interact because they were needed for stuff, but if there aren't many Dragon Slayers, wouldn't it make more sense for them to run into more of any other kind of wizard than for 7 Dragon Slayers to just happen to find each other? Other than when they run into Leon, they never meet anyone with the same magic as anyone else in the guild except Celestial Wizards and Dragon Slayers.


texts: Did Yuzuru ultimately cause Hatsune's death?

texts:
Yuzuru Otonashi's sister Hatsune had cancer and there were indications that it was getting worse. When Christmas came, the doctors refused to let her out but keeping his word Yuzuru snuck in and took her out.

When we seem them together outside and when Yuzuru talks to her, she seems very weak and Yuzuru monologue's saying he continued to have a one-sided conversation. The next scene we see is Yuzuru is being asked if he is ok following Hatsune's death.

I am wondering, while Hatsune was probably bound to be killed by her cancer later on, was Yuzuru taking Hatsune out that night what caused her cancer to kill her ?


texts: Does the "running technique" of Seiho players exist in real life?

texts:
In Episode 7, when they play against Seiho, it shows that the way the Seiho players run is different from the common way (specifically, the way they swing their arms).

Does this running technique exist in real life?


texts:
In the anime Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke, Andy Hinomiya is an esper who negates the power of all other espers. Yuugiri cannot read his mind, Kyousuke can't hypnotize him, telekinetic attacks are ineffectual against him. So how is it possible for Kyousuke to teleport him in episode 3? They're walking away and he snaps his fingers and the entire group teleports away. Is it that Andy really isn't completely immune to ESP? Or is the teleportation a side-effect of an ESP power so it isn't negated?

To clarify the side-effect thing, You Fujiura's ESP can effect sound waves, though the ESP itself can be negated by Andy, the actual sound that the ESP creates (or deadens) can be heard by Andy (episode 2).


texts: How does Baba communicate with his robots?

texts:
In episode 6 of A Certain Scientific Railgun T, we see Baba ordering around his Great Dane Type, Mosquito Type, and Mantis Type robots.

When he gives orders to the Mantis Type, he's inside his trailer (or something) where there appears to be a control center of sorts. So it's conceivable there's a microphone there that is used to pick up his orders.

The Mosquito Type, however, appears to just act on its own, and I don't remember seeing Baba speaking any orders to it on any episode.

As for the Great Dane Types, we see him shouting orders, but then near the end of the episode, Wannai almost drowns Baba by surrounding his whole head with water — and it doesn't look like Baba speaks, but instead thinks something like "Great Dane Types, absorb this water," which springs the dogs to action.

How does Baba control and communicate with his robots?
Does he need to speak orders out loud, or is there some sort of mental communication happening?

texts: Is Persona 4 Golden anime different from the original Persona 4 anime?

texts:
Does Persona 4 Golden follow the same plot as the original Persona 4? I've seen the Persona 4 anime was wandering if Golden covered old ground.

I know in the game there's a new character and/or party member but is this also reflected in the anime?


texts: What is the origin relatioinship between the Cursed Blood Clan and the Kyoukai no Kanata?

texts:
Watching the movie, it seems like there is some relationship between the Cursed Blood Clan (CBC) (Kuriyama's) and the Kyoukai no Kanana (KnK) Youmu's origin.

And I am not talking about the romantic relationsip between Mirai and Akihito. About the origins of them both.

It is shown that

   Akihito and Mirai's mothers were close enough that Kuriyama could ask to be reforged into a ring upon her death.

So, what is the rellationship?

   Was the CBC involved in creating KnK?

texts:
Urahara Kisuke's Bankai is "Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame", which means Modification of The Crimson Princess' Dissection at the Doors of Avalokiteśvara.

Does the name have any meaning/significance to its ability to dissect and restructure virtually anything (either organic or inorganic)?


texts: Why didn't people of the Leaf Village want to get closer to Naruto if he is the son of the 4th Hokage?

texts: Naruto was always discriminated against by the people of the Leaf Village because he had the Kyuubi inside. However, he is the son of the 4th Hokage and he was the one who sealed it inside him. Why, then, did they discriminate against him if it was in order to save the village?


texts: Do I need to watch the original Devilman anime before I watch Crybaby?

texts: How to summon a different animal using Kuchiyose?

texts:
As we know, every ninja needs to sign a contract to summon an animal. However, Sasuke suddenly summoned a hawk, after summoning snakes all the time.

How can someone change the animal he summons?

   I know that with Keiyaku Fūin, the contract can be broken, but I guess that works a little bit different, not?


texts:
In the past, I've used apps that have suggested films, books, or music to me based on a set of items I've enjoyed that I provide to the app.

Is there anything like that for anime? Basically I'm looking for something in which I can input that I like anime X, Y and Z and for it to suggest that I might like anime A because it has similar themes, or because other people who like X, Y and Z have also said they like A.


texts: If there's only one of each fruit, how could Blackbeard recognize the "Dark Dark" fruit?

texts:
At the end of First Squad,

   The ghosts attack the Russian army to steal this artifact (can't remember what it was) but at the last moment, they change their attack. It looks like me the whole attack was a decoy, but for what? The movie ends soon after, without telling the whole story.

So what happened?


texts: Is there any canonical evidence that "The Lost Village" is parody?

texts:
The Lost Village (aka Mayoiga, 迷家-マヨイガ) is one of the most talked-about series of the spring 2016 series; more than one critic has called it "the comedy of the season" with the claim that the series is simply so absurd, so over-the-top that it has to be a deliberate parody of its genre.  See, for instance, this AniWords column at Crunchyroll or this review of episode 6 at ANN.

My question is whether there's any objective evidence that the material is supposed to be parodic — if there are interviews with the director, production company materials, or anything of that sort that specifically call out the comedy aspects of the series, or whether there's some chance that all involved with the production are playing it straight and would be shocked to discover that a large portion of their viewership is laughing at the show.


texts: How is it ensured that Anime Fillers do not "clash" with eventual plot elements?

texts: Are fillers "approved" by the original author (i.e. the mangaka) or do studios just write fillers and hope for the best?


texts: Is there any jutsu that Naruto won't be able to master without the Kyuubi?

texts:
I'm just curious if there is any jutsu that would be impossible for Naruto to learn or master without the powers of the Kyuubi inside him?

If there is, which is it and why won't he be able to learn/master it without the Kyuubi? If there's none, then I guess Naruto is actually a smart ninja.


texts: What is this anime about a virtual reality world with no pain?

texts:
I'm looking for an anime that involves a teenage boy who enters a virtual reality world, like the rest of Tokyo. The virtual realty world entered did not have pain, so players could be hurt and not feel anything.

In the story, first he is on a bike that gets into a car accident and the bike is beyond repair. Later, he finds a credit card that uses all three types of currencies in the world. The card has no owner and seems to "hack" the systems. A girl is on a roof and sees the boy "steal" her card. The boy finds a hungry girl and buys her food with the card. A police officer sees the boy purchasing food with a lot of money and sees the card. The police officer attacks the boy.

Does anyone know what this anime is?


texts: Why do guys in anime often lack nipples?

texts: As shown in the images (from Free! and Noragami, respectively), guys in anime often lack nipples. This could be explained by vague Japanese copyright laws, but other anime occasionally show guys with nipples. Why do guys so often lack nipples?


texts:
When the party goes after Laude who went into the Moon Culvert with Reisha they come across another Heart of Gaea. Luca then seems to switch to Nenesha with her saying that the Heart of Gaea is her body.

Considering that Nenesha said it was her that would mean this wouldn't be a Heart of Gaea Frelia may have made to create the land of Metafalss, so what is Nenesha's Heart of Gaea for? and why was it even created as in Infel's diary she wrote that the Divine Messenger killed Nenesha


texts: How was Vegeta able to be revived by the Dragon Balls?

texts:
(I couldn't find a question like this, if it's been asked before then please remove it.)
There are several known plot holes in the DBZ story, but one that interested me is that in the Buu saga (in DBK it's in ep127) it's said that when a human/alien that killed too many innocent people is dead, in hell they erase his body and his memories and recreate him. Piccolo said that in response to Vegeta's question of whether he could be meet Goku again, but it very clearly that he still won't be revived by the DragonBalls because of that.

The content of Vegeta and Piccolo conversation in DBK ep127 (translated from japanese):

Vegeta: Tell me just one thing first, in the Next World or whatever it
is, after I die, will I be able to see Kakarrot again?
Piccolo: At a time like this, it won't do any good to offer
consolation, so I won't mince words. That won't be possible.
Vegeta: (blinking in shock)
Piccolo: You'v killed to many innocent people. Once you die, your body
will become nonexictense, and your soul will be sent to a world
different from Goku's. There, your soul will be cleaned, and your
memories erased, and you will be turned into a new life form.

Now, in the original DBZ they created a plot hole by including a scene of Frieza, Cell and other villains watching the battle against Buu on earth when they were in Hell, but I'm not talking about that.
During the Frieza arc, Vegeta was clearly evil. Though he joined forces with Gohan, Krillin et al, he still killed a whole village, he's clearly evil, and yet, when Kaio asked Shenron to revive all the people killed by Frieza, Vegeta came back to life (in DBK it's ep51). If we go by the assumption that evil people are recreated in hell, then how was he revived?

Though for a fact that Vegeta asked at the end of Buu saga from Prolunga to bring back all those who died except for any evil people to unrule bringing back Babidi and Dabra, that's not contradict the above, since Piccolo specified specifically that Vegeta killed to many people so he won't have a body, unlike Babidi that was evil but didn't were just evil and didn't killed anyone (not by himself at least) and Dabra who Daio sent to heaven. it's clearly that there's definite different between killing a lot of people to be just evil - killing a lot of people contaminating the soul so it needs to be recreate (like Uub) while being only evil not.
Now, I know it's a fact that Toriyama didn't want to make the Buu Saga, and there could be plot holes and all, but is there still some explanation for that?

Note 1: This question came to me after watching Dragon Ball Kai. If in the original DBZ it's not a question, I would love to be enlightened.
Note 2: I'm reffering only to DBZ manga canon material, so evidences from DBS aren't related.


texts:
According to Naruto wiki, a reanimated body can die from any of the following ways:

  Remove the soul from the reincarnated body, such as with the Dead
  Demon Consuming Seal.
  Have the summoner end the technique. As they are unlikely to do this
  voluntarily, using a genjutsu to trick them into cancelling the
  technique is ideal.
  A less reliable, though equally effective method is to have the
  reincarnated soul be affected in some emotional way that gives them
  closure, allowing their soul to break free of the Impure World
  Reincarnation's influence.

At episode 265, after Haku and Zabuza got reincarnated, they were faced by Kakashi and his army. At first, they were really hesitating to kill Kakashi and army and said that were under control of someone. Meanwhile, Kabuto used Mitarashi Anko to harness Orochimaru's chakra to tighten Haku's and Zabuza's soul to the body and as a result they became really powerful, a immortal killing puppet. They were fighting really hard and at episode 266(spoilers below):

   Both Zabuza and Haku got killed by Kakashi's chidori.

How did they die? Neither of the above three points were followed i.e the soul were not removed by reaper death seal, nor the summoner was under a genjutsu nor the soul was affected in any emotional way. Yes, they were emotional at first but after getting Orochimaru's power, their soul were tightened more to the body which Kabuto felt that they were now a mere immortal killing machine.

   Why did Zabuza and Haku got killed by a mere ninjustsu?


texts: Who is this silhouetted figure in the first OP?

texts:
In the first OP for Tokyo Ravens, the figure pictured below appears for about two seconds, silhouetted the entire time.

Who is s/he? That profile (and specifically, that hairstyle - see this gif) doesn't seem to fit any of the other characters in the show.


texts: How can Inuyashiki and Hiro hear voices from Earth?

texts:
In Inuyashiki manga chapter 82

   Inuyashiki was not able to hear the voice of Hiro when they were standing on meteor far from earth in space. So Hiro called Inuyashiki (via some telecommunication mechanism).

Later

   When Hiro was going to blow himself up, he heard the voice of Watanabe Shion. And the same thing happened to Inuyashiki - when he was going to self-destruct he also heard the voices of his family and dog.

How can they hear voices from the earth? Given that they were not able to communicate so Hiro had to call Inuyashiki.

Anime is still going on and I don't know how they're gonna show these parts.


texts: If Logia devil fruit can produce an infinite amount of their element, how fast is it generated?

texts: So, obviously, having an infinite amount of whatever element you gained off of the logia devil fruit you ate would be powerful. Being able to freeze anything with your ice powers or crush your opponents with sheer force from magma instantly would grant you the win against any normal citizen. However, I don't quite know how fast they could produce their element. I suspect that it is based on mastery, because of how Luffy couldn't control his body when he first gained his powers, but if so, how does mastery effect the creation? Like, does that mean if you had 10 years of devil fruit training you would be able to produce it instantly?


texts: With animation being so time consuming, why are hairstyles so spiky and complex?

texts:
From my basic understanding, anime (or any animation) is drawn frame-by-frame. With that in mind, why are countless character designs made with spiky hair and other complex parts such as chains, intricate design patterns, etc?

An animator would have to re-draw every single strand and detail which would take longer for the animation to be made, so therefore I thought there would be less flamboyant hairstyles yet they prove me wrong every season, in fact each design being even MORE complex. Why?

texts: Deidara uses the mouths in his palms to prepare clay for his explosion release. How did he get these mouths? Was he born with them or did he acquire them some other way?


texts:
Wood release is the kekkai genkai of the Senju clan (originally the God trees sacred ability and also the Otsutsuki clans Kekkai Genkai), however, Moegi is able to do it by combining Water and earth style. Does this mean being able to combine 2 elements can allow anyone to use an advanced element?  We know Orochimaru used to perform experiments on merging Hashirama's cells with small children but Sarutobi Hiruzren (the Third Hokage) put an end to it.

Moegi did not have the wood style ability while she was younger plus the experiments that Orochimaru did with Hashirama's DNA were destroyed earlier in the series. So how did Moegi suddenly become able to use it at adulthood?


texts: What meaning does the phrase "Zawsze in Love" have?

texts: I've watched 16 episodes and the phrase "Zawsze in Love" (first said by Kirisaki) appears to be memorable both for her and Ichijou. But what does it mean? Is it a reference to something? Or is it another thing from their childhood?


texts: Is the manga Yozakura Quartet still translated?

texts:
I'm thinking about starting the manga Yozakura Quartet and looked the releases up. I noticed that in Japan, 14 volumes are released, the last one in October. The English list only lists volumes 1 to 5 and I've been wondering whether the translation is still ongoing because I don't want to start a manga that I can't finish.

Is the English translation of Yozakura Quartet still ongoing?

Is there any clear description as to how Aang survived for 100 years inside of the iceberg?

Can Avatars do that? If they can, then why didn't the other Avatars stay alive for long time periods? And whatever was the case, how did Aapa stay alive too?


texts: What devil fruits and their users that are able to fly?

texts:
In the Alabasta Arc, Pell said that there are only 5 known flying devil fruits.

  Pell: You're lucky to see this. Only five flying devil fruits are known to exist

What are these "5 known flying devil fruits" and who are their current users?

Apart from the 5 known, did they discover new flying devil fruits?

Note: I'm only talking about the "real flying devil fruit". What I mean here by "real" is like Pel who can naturally fly unlike others who uses their creativity in order to "fly", example of this is

   Doflamingo.


texts: Can't find the name of this anime for the life of me!

texts:
The anime starts off with the guy in a hotel room, he turned on the TV and got a knock at the door. It turned out to be a girl that at the moment he didn't know but I think she turned out to be his cousin? They almost had sex because she seduced him and he thought she was a random call girl but he realized at the last second who she was I think and he kicked her out wearing no clothes lol.

Then, he started taking a bunch of college entrance exams failing all of them I think... he ran into some beautiful woman who I think went to the Tokyo U, or some kind of prestigious University that he couldn't hope to get into. But he went and took the exam anyway and that's about all I remember.

The art style was older, might have been late 90s early 2000's for all I know. Any leads? MC had longish black hair. I don't think it was a hentai or anything. I tried searching and literally nothing fits that description, so weird lol. Thanks in advance


texts: Why is episode 2 of "We Rent Tsukumogami" called "Gardenia"?

texts:
Episode 2 of "We Rent Tsukumogami" (Tsukumogami Kashimasu) is called Kuchinasi (梔子, or "Gardenia"). It centres around the culture of hanging scrolls and their use at ceremonies (e.g. flower viewing or tea ceremonies) as a conversation piece, noting some of the popular imagery and characters.

While the symbolism of a few different elements of the scrolls is discussed, I don't remember them actually referring to gardenias, and even if they did it's not a major plot point. Instead, the more important discussion is about the relative value of a scroll with the moon on it, and its relevance to the story of Princess Kaguya.

The only connection I can find between Kaguya and gardenias is a long shot - in the Japanese language of flowers (花言葉), the gardenia represents "secret love", and the resolution of the episode does involve the characters realising that

   she longs to be able to see the moon
 but I feel like that's a long shot, especially since it's never explicitly stated in the episode.

Is that the meaning of the title, or is there something I missed?


texts:
I want to find a regularly updated list of official anime home video releases (ie DVD/BluRay/digital), English dubbed/subtitled and available globally, preferably sorted by date of release. Does such a thing exist?

If it was part of a larger list of non-anime home video releases that is fine. Wikipedia has lists such as this, but they do not seem to contain releases from smaller studios.

texts: What are the differences of Near in the manga version?

texts:
In Death Note, I've read that Near displays more emotions and (more interestingly) shows greater insight and deduction ability than his anime counterpart.

What are the differences of Near from his anime counterpart? Is the above statement true? (And if so, please provide examples.)

There is another question, How different are the anime and manga versions of Death Note, but that just takes into question the ending.


texts: Is Santa Company available to non-backers?

texts:
I unfortunately missed the kickstarter for Santa Company. Since I found out about it, I have been following the updates of the production and they have released the digital version to backers recently.

Is there anywhere I can purchase the movie digitally despite not having backed the project?


texts: Can a Genjutsu awaken Mangekyou Sharingan?

texts:
It was said that Itachi's genjutsu was so good that both Kakashi and Naruto either felt the after effects of it as if it were reality, or never even realized in the first place that they were in a genjutsu.

So, can a strong enough genjutsu be used on someone to make them witness the "death" of someone close to them and thus make the user under the genjutsu awaken his or her Mangekyou Sharingan?


texts:
On almost every anime I've watched, they stop producing the anime even though there is more story in the manga, and then to get the rest of the story you have to read the manga.

For example, I've watched Maid-Sama, Fruits Basket, Ouran High School Host Club, Magi and none of them finish off what they started. The only show I've seen that has tried to animate the whole manga so far is Fairy Tail.

Why don't producers just animate the entire manga, or why do they start animating the manga and never finish? Why don't they finish the anime based on the manga?


texts:
An awkward picture so I hid it below. I found it on Facebook. When Google searching, I couldn't find any specifics.

texts: In the first half of the first episode of Hataraku Maou-sama, we can hear conversation between Satan and Alsiel in "Underworld" language. Is the "Underworld" language based on a real language, or is it just plain gibberish?


texts: How do Naruto and Sasuke manage to beat Kaguya so quickly?

texts: So the mother of all chakra is defeated by Naruto and Sasuke. It really doesn't make sense already, but my only problem is with how quickly they do it. Hagaromo stated that it took him and Hamura MONTHS to defeat Kaguya. But about an hour after being released from her seal she's defeated by Naruto and Sasuke? Sure Sakura punched her once at the end, and Kakashi threw in some kamuis here in there, but I still don't think they could have sealed her that quickly.


texts: Roronoa Zoro's sense of climate/aura/motion and other observation capabilities

texts:
It's not a luck or co-incidence, of all people Zoro sensed first that their Ship isn't moving (when they entered Calm belt for the first time)

In episode 385 he sensed (along with Nami) change in climate before Serpent Currents emerged.

There are several incidences he has sensed changes in Climate and motion before all (or along with Nami, who's a navigator) in the series

Is it zoro's Kenbunshoku Haki, which was active all time? or does he have any special ability? Isn't it noteworthy? I don't see any sources highlighting this ability of his (even in Wiki)!


texts: How to refer to the two states of Umaru?

texts:
In Himouto Umaru-chan, Umaru Doma has two distinct "states":

I am wondering how do both English-speaking fans and Japanese-speaking fans call these two "states". Is there an official name given?

From what I observe, when she changes from the "small" state to the "big" state, the text "うまうーん" appears behind her:

So I suspect that the big form is called うまるーん.

I was watching an anime and closed out of it, and now can't get back to it.

Description of the anime: A redhead male lead whose friend learns magic to find the killer of his sister, who was secretly the girlfriend of the redhead male lead.

texts: Why do anime studios and producers discontinue making an anime?

texts: I've seen many series that just get discontinued, even popular ones. I'm talking about manga and light novel adaptations. Even though a lot of the story still remains left, and the first season gets critical acclaim. Some examples are Kaichō wa Maid-sama! and Baka and Test. Why do so many series stop after season one?


texts:
While Shadow Clones replicate the user's body completely and are thus just as smart (or moronic) as the user, other clones based on elements are simply models constructed out of a particular material animated by chakra.
In the early stages of the story, Zabuza delegates fighting Naruto and Sasuke to a Water Clone. Is there any indication whether it was acting independently, or just executing simple commands from Zabuza himself? Are there examples of other elemental clones functioning without the original present?


texts: What happened at the end of Tokyo Ghoul?

texts:
I am a bit confused by Tokyo Ghoul season 2's ending. Why was Hide bitten, and by who or what? Was it in that "war"? Or did Kaneki bite him?

And why did Yomo stop Touka when she was running to Kaneki (it was at the moment when he was carrying Hide)? Was it just because he did not wanted to let her be killed? Or was it something deeper?

texts:
I have recently started rewatching FMA brotherhood, and noticed some things I was confused about concerning Father.

  He uses the pipes to spread the Philosopher's Stone beneath the nation of Amestris. The purpose behind this is to act as a barrier between the tectonic energy of the earth's crust, where Amestrian Alchemy gets its energy from, so that he can stop others from using Alchemy at any time.

Emphasis mine.

  he placed himself under what would become Central Command and used himself as a buffer against tectonic energy so alchemists would actually use energy derived from the souls of Xerxes contained within himself.

How is Father able to stop people from performing alchemy? And if the people in Amestris were partly using a philosopher's stone, wouldn't they be able to bypass the laws of equivalent exchange?

Does anyone know name of the song that plays at 01:15 when Lady Scheherazade released the final Aberrant Magic granted to her (or, well, her clone version, anyway)?

I couldn't find a link; the only one I have is probably an illegal one anyway.

It is in episode 25 (final episode) of Magi - the Kingdom of Magic.


texts: How do Soul Gems get corrupted over time in Madoka Magica?

texts:
After seeing how Madoka instantly transformed into her witch form after killing Walpurgisnacht in one shot in the 4th timeline, it makes me wondering: How do Soul Gems become corrupted?

I assumed that over time the magical girls would lose hope and fall into despair, which then clouded their Soul Gems. However, Madoka instantly turned into a witch, without any real reason to despair.


texts: Do Sea Kings know about happenings in the world and how?

texts: I was wondering whether or not Sea Kings know about the world: what is going on (when there was the Marineford war for example), who the world rulers are, how the power is balanced in the world, etc. And if they do, then how, when they can't speak to anyone from the surface? Or do they understand humans even though humans can't understand them (honor the exceptions)?

texts: How much English is spoken at Japan Expo (Paris)

texts:
I'm thinking of going to Japan Expo this year - as it is the largest convention in Europe, but because it is located in France, I'm unsure if I would enjoy it as much as my French - while passable - probably wouldn't get me through more complex conversations than ordering food, asking for directions, etc.

The convention's website does have an English version (Here)  but I have been unable to find any information as to how much of the convention is bilingual (there would be no point in going to some guest talks for example)

Does anyone have experience of Japan Expo who could tell me how much English is spoken throughout the convention?


texts:
Power levels are so confusing throughout the DBZ series.

For example:

Kaioken = x2 base
Kaioken x3 = x3 base
Kaioken x4 = x4 base

and so on...

SSJ = x50 base
SSJ Grade 2 = ?
SSJ Grade 3 = ?
SSJ2 = x100 base
SSJ3 = x400 base
SSJ4 = ?
SSJG = ?
SSJGSSJ = ?
LSSJ = ?

Fusion = ?
Fusion Dance = ?
Potara Fusion = ?

Frieza form 1 = 1x base
Frieza form 2 = ?
Frieza form 3 = ?
Frieza form final (full power) = ?
Future Frieza = ? (Same with final form?)
Golden Frieza = ?

Super Buu's Absorption = ? (times the victim's power level)

The unknown factor ("?") makes me confuse about their power levels. Any ideas? Thanks.


texts: Is the birthday of Fuuka Akitsuki known?

texts:
In the latest episodes, Yuu regrets not knowing the birthday of Fuuka (ch37 pg 16). Digging wikia, wikipedia, MAL, or just straight googling, nothing came up on her birthday.

Since she made cameos in two prequel series already, is her birthday known?

If her birthday is not know, can it be at least narrowed down to a season or month from the source material?

texts: What does the end part of the Tales titles mean?

texts:
Just going by the "Mothership" titles of the Tales series

Tales of Phantasia
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Eternia
Tales of Symphonia*
Tales of Rebirth*
Tales of Legendia
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of Innocence*
Tales of Vesperia*
Tales of Hearts*
Tales of Graces
Tales of Xillia*
Tales of Zestiria*
Tales of Berseria*

what does the end part represent in them?

I know that with Hearts R and Graces F, the R stands for Remake or Re-imagination and the F stands for "Future" because of Graces' extra content

  There are also terms that are used in remakes or ports of games: "R" stands for "remake" or "Re-imagination" (as in Hearts R), while "F" in Graces f stood for "future", in reference to the game's extra story content.

Tales (Video Games Series) > Terminology

but this doesn't explain what Hearts or Graces means in regards to the game. and i know it can't be worlds because

Eternia is set on Inferia and Celestia
The Abyss is set on Auldrant
Zestiria and Berseria are on the same world just different eras

*: i have not played these yet so it may actually be obvious if i was to play them but for completeness i ask about them anyway

texts:
In Wonder Egg Priority, when Neiru is first introduced, it's established that she started buying Wonder Eggs long before Ai, and often buys several at a time. Despite this significant head-start, Ai manages to revive Koito before Neiru is able to revive her sister. In fact, as of the end of Episode 12,

 Neiru is the only one of the four protagonists who hasn't revived their loved one yet.

How is this possible? Did Ai really overtake Neiru in terms of Wonder Eggs hatched? Or did Neiru have a higher target to begin with?


texts: Can Mirio solidify his body beyond human level hardness?

texts:
So there is no explanation for Mirio's strenght making him able to knock hard rock characters like Kirishima. One wikia states he has enhanced strenght. Since he is able to de-solidify his body, and later solidify it to at least human level solid, can it be that he can solidify beyond human level and that makes him able to become harder and stronger to the point of knocking heroes with superhuman resistance? Similar to what another hero from another universe like Vision from Marvel who is also able to desolidify and solidify does?
Is there any hint/statement in the manga or any guidebook about how much he can solidify his body after de-solidifying?

Is this true that Shokugeki no Soma artist is a hentai mangaka? Looking how the foodgasm is drawn I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

In Evangellion 3.33,  Two entry plugs are inserted into EVA 13.

I thought the angle of the plugs looked like they would crash into each other within the EVA:

Having taken a screenshot I estimated the rough position of the placed plugs:

And my assumptions were correct. Clearly the two plugs would crash if this was correct. Is this merely an animation mistake, or is there something that happens to the plugs once they are inside an EVA as the cockpits look quite different inside?

Who was inside that third coffin? It can't be the Fourth Hokage right? Because that time, he was still under the Shiki Fuujin Seal.

texts: What happened to Kirakishou in chapter 66 of Rozen Maiden Tales?

texts:
I just finished reading Tales (the second Rozen Maiden series), and I have a few questions.

Did Jun from unwound world became Kirakishou's master? How was she awakened? Is it because the wound world Jun appeared?
Regarding the dialogue on 24th page "How do you do, Master? We meet again. And just for a while, I'll be going.", does it mean that she will return to adult Jun shortly after helping his childish form with the creation of the new rose, or that she will be staying in awakened form only during their adventure to recreate Shinku? If it is the latter, does it mean that she will fall asleep again, as they succeed in their journey and she will be returned to the unwound Jun, or she will still stay awaken, after being waken up once?

texts: Is there somewhere where the Stretch exercises are compiled?

texts:
The manga Stretch is a story about two girls living together who come to love stretching.

Usually the stretches they do are introduced in a small panel with a little bit of demonstration:

However, there is some story elements in the manga and also the types of stretches are often spread out in different places (example: stretches to do before you go to bed occur interspersed in several chapters)

Is there an existing convenient way of seeing these stretches grouped together rather than having to compile them manually?

I know there are groups that will compile anime cookbooks, so I don't think it's too out-of-the-ordinary that something like this may exist

I have been wondering what the song at 4:43 episode 19 is in Magi season 2, Magi: The Kingdom of Magic. It plays when

I know of the following

12 Visual Novels featuring the couples from the Saint Michael’s School for Girls
1 Visual Novel set in a nursing school with a different couple
An All Ages visual Novel (Hanahira!) which focuses on the juniors of Saint Michael’s
An OVA which is an adaptation of the 3rd Visual Novel with Reo and Mai (Difference is that Reo gets sick and Mai visits her rather than the other way around, then Mai gets sick after catching it from Reo)

Now a while back when i was looking where to get the Visual Novels i saw an image of a manga and it had Yuuna Matsubara in it but i wasn't sure if it was fan made or an official manga (i don't have the image on me, i didn't download it but i think i saw it in with Petals' Garden or Yuri Project), so i am wondering what other media belong to the Sono Hanabira series aside from the Visual Novels (and the OVA i listed)?

Please note anything which may be NSFW (Not Safe For Work)


texts: Why did Diane and King increase their power levels?

texts: So in one of the last episodes, Gowther reads the power levels of Diane and King and they increased. Why did they increase? I think the former fairy king and giant king wanted to make them stronger sending them to the past, but the "challenge" they passed there was one not to kill her sister's lover (King) and the other not to betray her race (Diane), but I dont see how this had to do with increasing their power levels, does it?


texts: Do we see Mikiya Kokutou after the time leap at the end of Kara no Kyoukai: Mirai Fukuin?

texts:
During the scene in which Mitsuru was going to be hired by the gang of Mikiya and Shiki, we see a man with black glasses sitting in front of Mitsuru (see picture below). Is it Mikiya or just a member of the gang?

I mean, on the one hand, when Mitsuru was referring to Mikiya (the current gang leader), we were able to see this man. Hence we could conclude that it's Mikiya. But on the other hand, it wouldn't be surprising if the producers simply showed a gang member who's in charge of recruiting.

I'm still a bit doubtful that this man might be Mikiya since his personality seems a bit contradictory to his younger self. Though, it also needs to be considered that there was a time leap of over 10 years.

So, is this man Mikiya or just a gang member?

him back. However, the villagers didn't like that, and because of a
jealous villager, they killed them both. Years have passed and the
deity/demon found them reincarnated and married with a son.

Does anyone know which manga is this from?

texts: How much does the spider-girl show up in MonMusu?

texts:
I watched the first episode of Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou. It was a thrilling experience. However, it came to my attention that one of the monster girls is, in fact, a spider-girl. My tolerance for invertebrates - and in particular, for those with too many legs - is very low. So I stopped watching MonMusu.

In order to help me evaluate whether I will be able to tolerate watching the rest of the show, I would like to know how much the spider-girl appears in the show. Answer this however you would like; some parameters that would interest me are:

When does she first appear? (i.e. are the first n episodes safe to watch?)
Is the show structured so that each girl gets her own block of episodes (like an "omnibus")? If so, which episodes are the spider-girl's episodes? (so I can avoid them)
If not, is the show structured in any other way that makes it easy to avoid the parts in which she appears? (e.g. multiple clearly delineated segments per episode?)
Roughly what fraction of the show following her first appearance has her appearing on-screen?

I know that the answers will just be extrapolation only but still might be worth asking

texts: Did Boruto inherit Naruto's large Chakra reserves

texts:
Everyone knows just how large Naruto's chakra reserves are.

 My question however is if Boruto inherited the large life force and massive chakra of the Uzumakis. So far, he's able to use 3 clones easily without any problems but then again, His father could do way more at his age.

Are there any indications so far in the anime, which could prove that Boruto might possibly have inherited the massive Chakra reserves of his father.

   I'm really interested in this because that is the only way a person can master sage Mode (If they have enough Chakra to withstand the force of Natural energy), and if Boruto did Inherit the massive Chakra load of his father then the possibility of him mastering sage mode will be pretty high i guess

texts:
If there's even a name for it?

I saw this question that explains why but I'd love to know if there's a name for it. The linked question mentions superdeformed but I figured there's a Japanese name, if there's anything.

They do it in many anime (and manga) and it's used with the character is embarrassed, sometimes it's when they're tired, annoyed, or confused.

It reminds me of chibi but it's even simpler than that and doesn't really make them look like kid-versions.

texts: Where was the reflecting surfaces when Muramasa fought Ichigo in Episode 233

texts:
during the Zanpakuto Rebellion Muramasa is shown to be able to throw is opponents around and hold them with a form or telekinesis but when he is fighting Ichigo's Inner Hollow in his Inner World he sees a bunch of arms in the reflection of the skyscraper windows which is invisible otherwise and it was them Muramasa was using to hold his Inner Hollow.

when Ichigo and Muramasa fought in Koga's Inner World in Episode 255 Ichigo worked out that Muramsa's ability with those arms only worked where he had a reflective surface like the still water's surface in Koga's Inner World and when the surface was broken by the ripples cause by rubble or Ichigo's attack Muramasa's ability couldn't work.

but when Ichigo first fought Muramasa in Episode 233, before he reached into Ichigo and Zangetsu was put under his control, Muramasa used the same technique to hold Ichigo down, but the main streets of the Seireitei where they fought didn't have any reflective surfaces from what i saw as generally the windows in the barracks and store houses don't have glass but are just holes in the wall with wooden bars sometimes in them.

So where was the reflecting surfaces for Muramasa to use when he ability to hold Ichigo down?

texts: How do the 3 sannin know about using Five Elements Seal on Naruto?

texts: In the Anime, during the Chunnin exams, Orochimaru attacks Sasuke inside the Forest of Death. When Naruto came to rescue, Orochimaru identified that he was the nine tails and places the Five Elements  seal on Naruto. Later it was unsealed by Jiraiya. In the Search for Tsunade arc, Orochimaru tells Kabuto that the seal can be placed or removed only by the 3rd Hokage and the sannin. Were the 3 sannin taught about this by the 3rd Hokage?


texts: Peaceful music in episode 7 and 54 of Naruto

texts:
In episode 7 of Naruto, there's a peaceful flute-like music when team 7 entered the land of waves (YouTube reference)

A shorter version also plays towards the beginning of episode 54, right before Temari and Shikamaru battle in the chuunin exams (YouTube reference)

What's that song?


texts: Why do people tend to say the Kara no Kyoukai anime "does not exist"?

texts:
It's clear from the anime that it exists. Some of the characters from the main series are there. As close as I can tell, it's just a side series.

So why do hardcore Type-Moon fans say with resolve that Kara no Kyoukai is not a Type-Moon anime or that it does not exist to them?


texts: Why didn't Shouko confess her feelings to Shoya afterwards?

texts:
At the scene where Shouko tries to give a plant pot decoration thingy, she tried to confess her feeling to Shoya, but it was rather interpreted as 'tsuki (moon)'.

I'm wondering now why Shouko didn't confess her feelings later?


texts: Why do Jinchuuriki die when their biju are extracted?

texts:
When tail beasts (bijū) are extracted from their Jinchuuriki, the Jinchuuriki dies.

All seven Jinchuuriki died after the Akatsuki extracted the bijū from them. Gaara was resurrected by Chiyo using the "One's own life reincarnation" jutsu.

So why do Jinchuuriki die when bijū are extracted?
What are the reasons behind the death of Jinchuuriki after the extraction of bijū?

texts: Was golden oozaru cumber's blast power what made Super Saiyan Blue Vegito defuse?

texts: In Dragon Ball Heroes anime episode 4, golden oozaru cumber fires a blast against Super Saiyan Blue Vegito and at that time Vegito defuses. Was golden oozaru cumber's blast power what made Super Saiyan Blue Vegito defuse or they are supposed to run out of fusion time exactly in that moment?


texts:
Through out the series so far we have seen several ways people can manifest multiple quirks. Such as Todo, which has Fire and Ice powers or Noumus power to steal quirks, allowing for multiple quirks, all though only 1 can be used at the time.

We also know that Nana had her own quirk, and still could receive One for All. Making it a case of literally 2 quirks in 1 body.

But is there a limitation known to how many quirks can be fused into 1 body/person?


texts: Rather then a company published manga, can a self-published manga become an adapted anime?

texts: Did it ever happen before when self-published mangas become adapted into an anime without having mangas published by companies?


texts: Why does everyone in My Hero Academia care about how Midoriya Izuku got his Quirk?

texts:
They wanted to know because everyone knows that Midoriya was Quirkless, and so does All Might.

But why do they care about Midoriya's Quirk so much? Is it because All Might was Quirkless too when he was Midoriya's age?


texts: How did the Sunday Without God light novels end?

texts: I watched the anime and I really enjoyed it.  However, it didn't have a conclusive end, rather, it seemed to end in the middle of Ai's journey to save the world.  Seeing as there is no English translation that I have found (official or otherwise), I have been looking for a summary of the books that weren't adapted and how the series ended overall. Would you be able to point me towards an in depth summary of all of the books (or just copy/paste it into an answer)?


texts: Is it unusual for mangas to be in colour?

texts:
I have been reading some mangas lately and they seem to be commonly done in black and white rather than colour. Also, according to the community at other websites such as comicvine.com, they are usually not in colour.

I came across this when I was wondering if a comic book would be an equivalent to a manga and it made me wonder whether it would be unusual for a manga to be done in colour.

texts: Why is Wendy considered young to join the fairy tail guild

texts: I realize Wendy is young but it seems like Natsu Gray and Erza where younger than she is when they're in the flashbacks and they were in the guild at the time and Lisana was even younger since Mirigane was Erza's age, so why is everyone like "she's so young".

texts: Do all the children in Wammy's House receive codenames?

texts:
Everyone who watched Death Note knows that L was raised in a orphanage called Wammy's House. So, L's Name was L Lawliet. Near's is Nate River, and Mello's was Mihael Keehl.

Does every child of Wammy's House have a codename? If every child has a codename, is the first letter from the codename the first from the real name?

texts: I know that, in Cardcaptor Sakura, Yue starts needing more magic after Sakura collects all of the cards, which begins to negatively affect Yukito. Toya gives his magic to Yue to save Yukito. How does he pass the magic on? It makes sense that Sakura would have a connection to him, considering that both of them are connected to the cards, but why would Toya have a connection that allows him to give his magic to Yue?

texts: Did Kurama get his half from Minato and become a whole after the war? Thus, in Boruto, is Kurama composed of yin and yang already?


texts: Is the manga in Episode 3 of "The Everyday Tales of a Cat God" based off a real manga?

texts:
In episode 3 there is a manga about a girl who moves to Tokyo after a string of bad luck only to find that her roommate is a death god who seems to just mooch off her. I am wondering if this is based off of another manga.

You can find more examples in the link in the comments. I think that's a large enough sample to determine if the manga used in the anime is based off any other manga.


texts: Are there any differences between normal anime compared to Netflix original series's anime?

texts:
Recently, more and more Netflix original series (anime) pop up in my feed and so far, all of them are of extremely high quality. This goes in audio, visuals and usually story as well. Most of them are fairly unique compared to the mainstream ones.

So what I am curious about is if these are different from normal series. Like, do they have limitations for publication? For example, most series in Japan are for Japan only and are only able to leave the country through shipping DVDs or illegal streaming services. Is a Netflix original basically the same without any limits for publication?

What about production costs? Are those covered by Netflix and is the cast for example appointed by Netflix or does Netflix maybe have their own teams behind the shows?

Normally I wouldn't be bothered by this, but I have noticed a significant difference in quality from the big hits in Japan and Netflix original series. For example, most shows tend to forget about background characters, surround audio etc. In Netflix originals, I have yet to encounter these minor quality flaws. So what is it that makes the major difference between them?

I do am aware that legally the Netflix originals can only be found on Netflix. Does this mean that Netflix might be a new competitor in the anime industry?


texts: What are the differences between visual novel, eroge, gal game, and a dating sim?

texts:
In The World God Only Knows, games in which you conquer girls are defined as dating sims. But in Oreimo, it is called eroge. Some forums seem to use the term visual novel a lot, even though I thought they're all similar.

What is the actual difference between each of these?


texts: Why go through so much trouble to show a character is staring by having her say or shout "stare"?

texts:
In several anime shows, when a character is staring at another, the character actually says "stare" (sometimes with the "stare" in written form too not unlike manga - not the subtitles).

From the context and the animation, the stare is obvious, so why go the extra mile and literally shout "stare"??

This is not about the lightning display when two characters stare into each other. It is about saying or shouting stare when staring.

I understand that in manga you have to put those things in written form, so this question is restricted to anime media.


texts: Why do many anime OPs and EDs have onscreen lyrics?

texts:
I have noticed that much, but by no means all, of the anime that I've seen has had lyrics onscreen during either its OPs, EDs, or both. Why is this so?

I know karaoke is fairly popular in Japan, so do people actually sing along while they wait for their shows to start? Perhaps it is done to promote the songs licensed for the openings/endings?

Some examples of what I'm talking about include:

Shirokuma Cafe

Pokémon

Dragonball Kai

Doraemon

Note: Emphasis mine in all of these images.

As a bonus if you could include some information on these side issues, that'd be great:

Is this exclusive to anime, or does it appear in other forms of Japanese media (e.g. music videos? OPs of live action dramas? etc.)
Why are they almost never included in licensed English versions?
What was the first anime to include them?

Perhaps this is a slightly broad question, but I assume there must be some general consensus on the matter. Does anyone have an explanation for this phenomenon? :)


texts: Do the specials of the manga Zetsuen no Tempest continue the story after the end of the manga? Are Yoshino and Hakaze going to end up together?

texts:
Unfortunately, the English translations of the manga ends in chapter 37 and I can't read Japanese. I already know that the end of the anime differs from the storyline of the manga, since Yoshino and Hakaze end up together in the anime.

After reading some comments about the final chapter of the manga, it seems that they didn't end up together. I also heard that Yoshino rejected her in the nicest way because he thought her feelings for him would dwindle down as time goes by, and he didn't deserve her. However, Hakaze said he was the only man for her and she wouldn't give up on him.

That's why I've looked through the 6 special chapters with the hope of some hints that they do end up together in the near future, but I wasn't able to interpret something just by seeing the pictures.

Do these specials or even one of them continue the story after the end of the manga (chapter 44) and are there any hints Yoshino and Hakaze could end up together?


texts: How did humans learn how to kill Titans?

texts:
In Attack on Titan, how did humans learn the Titans' weak spot? How was it that they learned how to kill Titans?

Was it through experiments with live, captured Titans?

The only example I could think of where humans successfully captured live Titans and managed to get them within the walls was when they captured Sawney and Bean. But, during the time they had Sawney and Bean up until their untimely deaths, humans were already actively aware of the Titans' weak spots, which was the back of their necks (which could be cut/sliced/attacked).

I am rewatching Attack on Titan now and am currently on Episode 1. I may have overlooked something the first time I watched (hence I am rewatching it) but I am quite positive this might not have been answered.

So how exactly did humans learn/discover how to kill Titans? I still don't quite understand this. Manga answers are perfectly acceptable. ;)


texts: Why doesn't the Sage of Six Paths undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi himself?

texts: It's stated that the Infinite Tsukuyomi can be undone by someone who has the Rinnegan and the chakra of all the tailed beasts weaving the rat seal. But the Sage of Six Paths has them too. Why does he not do it himself?


texts: What is the Ash-Greninja form of Greninja?

texts:
This new form of Greninja is circulating around. I am not following the anime or the movies so please try to be gentle if it was obvious.

What exactly is this Greninja? If it's a mega-evolution, how did it get there without a stone? How exactly does his powers/abilities/skills vary from other normal Greninja?

I know the physical difference, that it starts to resemble Ash a bit. Easily noticeable is the red middle part on his head instead of the body blue.

This is the normal Greninja:

And this is Ash's:


texts: Were the lure towns in Wall Maria evacuated?

texts:
I was re watching season 1 because season 2 started airing not to long ago. As I watched it got me thinking.

With the lure towns in Wall Maria, 1 out of 4 got breached but the other 3 were in theory safe. Did they get evacuated or did they stay in those lure parts of the wall? because even if they stayed they wouldn't have much food.


texts: What is the purpose of the weird gender swaps of certain Sabers they throw in in "Fate/Apocrypha"?

texts:
In Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night, while Saber was referred to as 'king', she was always a woman.

However, watching Fate/Apocrypha, we bring in Saber of Red:

   Mordred, who keeps saying they are King Arthur's (who is still the woman from Zero and Stay Night) 'son'.

The above character even refers to King Arthur as father and calls themselves 'his' son...

I don't get it... why did they gender swap these characters to women, just to have them refer to themselves as men (father, son, etc...). What did they want the audience to do with this? Is there any purpose to this?


texts: What is the name of the track playing in episode 14?

texts:
In Code Geass R2, episode 14, at time code 14:35, there is a track playing. It plays after Rolo kills the other children with Geass. The battle between Lelouch, Jeremiah, and V.V.

What is the title of this track?


texts:
When Kakashi used Kamui on Deidara, his hand was cut off since it was wrapped to the Kamui dimension.

How is Obito able to warp his body parts in and out of Kamui without dying?

Is there a valid explanation for this? Or is this a plot hole?


texts: Meaning of telegraph code in the song "Planetes"

texts:
The song Planetes in Guilty Crown begins with some telegraph encoding, which I think is Wabun code.
Here is the YouTube link.
My transcription is:
-•-• -••-- •-- --•-- •- --•-• •-•-- -•--•

which decodes to this:

ni-yu-ya a-i-shi-te-ru

Niyuya didn't make sense. Did I get something wrong?


texts: It is shown that Pokemon eat fruit, PokeBlocks or some random eatables. However, I have never seen a Pokemon being eaten by another Pokemon. Also, their trainers don't seem to eat meat. As there are only Pokemon in that world, eating fish would be equivalent to eating a Magikarp or other fish Pokemon.


texts: What happens if too much is given during a transmutation?

texts: In Brotherhood, during a transmutation, what happens if too much is given as a part of the equivalent exchange? In the series, the brothers lose something each for trying to give too little during the human transmutation attempt to bring back their mom... So what would happen if they give too much? Anything at all?


texts: In Hikaru no Go, Waya's username when playing Go online is Zelda. In the anime the reason wasn't explained (I haven't read the manga, so maybe the explanation is in there). The first thing I think of when I see the name Zelda is The Legend of Zelda video game franchise, so I tried to find out if the username was a reference to that, but I couldn't find out anything online. I'm interested in both Waya's reasons (if available) and the author's for using the username Zelda.


texts:
Why didn't Rod Reiss just eat Eren? Why did he need Historia?
If Reiss just ate Eren, he would be the king, and do whatever he wanted (except that the King's will may overrule some his own free-will).

In the Anime, he even says that "I must not become a titan myself".

texts: Is it possible to avoid "Oyashiro-sama's curse" in any way? (spoilers)

texts:
This post is split into two parts. This post is completely spoilers so I didn't bother to put under spoiler tab. But, I tried to give a spoiler-free title because I don't want someone getting spoiled. The post discuss the events in the 2nd season of Higurashi. Here the Oyashiro-sama's "curse" refers to cycle of life and death experienced by the Hinamizawa residents.
Part II of post: How and when was Rika Furude born?

In the 2nd season, we get to know about Hanyuu who is the true incarnation of Oyashiro-sama. She has the ability to manipulate space-time to create alternate dimensions, parallel to the original Hinamizawa. This power is the cause for the eternally repeating June of 1983. Every time Rika dies, Hanyū uses her ability to escape whatever world they are presently in. The two then arrive in an in-between dimension. Eventually, a new Hinamizawa is generated where Hanyuu and Rika enters into it and a new chance is created to prevent Rika from dying.
If Hanyuu can foresee everything and can create worlds in order to create a chance for Rika to prevent her death, why can't she just create a world where Rika never existed? In this case, this cycle would never had occurred and Hinamizawa residents wouldn't had faced the consequences. Why is Rika so important to Hanyuu?


texts: When Homura took over the world it was playing "I was Waiting For This Moment" but is it actually someone else's song in reverse?

texts:
So I went ahead and tried exploring and reversing YouTube videos that i made into mp3 files which one of them being the "I Was Waiting For This Moment" song from when Homura you know, took over the universe. And I played it backwards using https://audioalter.com/reverse/
So um it sounded exactly like another song from Madoka Magica... I remember the music but not the name... If your watching it now just wait a few seconds and you'll see. So am i going crazy or what...
Can someone else listen to the original song, and the reversed theme and tell me if I'm right?
And if they're able to the name of the other song?
(It sounds like it at the beginning-middle the end; i just don't know)
BTW: The two links takes you to a google drive file so your safe :D

texts: How is the voice quality of a seiyuu classified?

texts:
Considering the extreme popularity of voice acting and voice acting schools in Japan, I'm curious to know if the industry actually classifies the quality of each voice. I'm not talking about things like age, gender, etc. Rather I'm interested in the tonal quality of the voice.

Personally, I'm particularly taken by the tonal quality of Mizuhara Kaoru, the seiyuu who voiced Kusakabe Misao in Lucky Star. Kusakabe's voice has got a thick, musical quality to it and sounds ... double-layered.

(I'm not the only one enamoured with Kusakabe's voice:

  Her character Misao Kusakabe in Lucky ☆ Star gained a cult following in fans and spawned internet memes due to her own addition of a nonsensical "vuah" (ヴァ) at the end of her sentence.("if it's picked up within 5 seconds, the germs don't get attached" 五秒以内だったら、菌がつかないんだってヴァ) This began in the 18th episode of the anime where her character Misao was nervous and embarrassed after eating food that has been dropped on the ground in front of others. The popularity was substantial enough to have a 13th Lucky Star character album featuring Misao released four months after the originally planned twelve albums were released even when her character already shared a duet character album as the 9th album.

This is at around the 18 minute mark of the 18th episode.)


texts: Why didn't Mr. Satan know about Z Warriors and their abilities?

texts:
Mr. Satan was a professional martial artist. Surely, he was also a buffoon, but from what we've seen he is definitely very strong and skilled by the standards of someone who was never trained by someone like Kami or Kaioshin. In Dragon Ball series, he would probably be a decent opponent for Goku or Tien.

He also wasn't completely stupid - you don't become champion, millionaire and world star by not knowing what are doing.

In the real world, it takes a mixture of raw talent, hard work, and passion to achieve such level, and we have no reason to assume that it's any different in Dragon Ball universe.

Now, to finally get to the point:

How come that he never came across stories about people like Master Roshi?
How come he didn't watch 21st, 22nd and 23rd Tournaments, where flying, Kamehamehas, disappearing and other strange techniques were common?
How come he had no idea about Tien (who won 22nd Tournament)?

Satan must have been a young boy or teenager, and if he had the passion for martial arts, people like Tournament Winners should be like Gods to him. And yet, after these Tournaments, Mr. Satan doesn't recognize Goku, Piccolo or the other Z-Fighters.

Mind that I'm not questioning why he kept on insisting that everything that happened during Cell Games was a "trick" - he wouldn't want to admit that he was outclassed - but why was he actually and genuinely surprised.


texts: What is the song that Canaria sings in the Qualidea Code anime? It is also called as the song of healing.


texts:
In Boruto: Naruto the Movie we see Hachibi being extracted out of Killer Bee, and he is presumed to be dead. Killer Bee's chakra resulted in much less pills than what was anticipated. I didn't give it much thought as it was clear that Momoshiki was used to consuming much more chakra pills.

But this time in the anime, Hachibi was sucked in by Momoshiki completely in tailed beast form .

TL;DR
Could Killer Bee have slipped past Momoshiki and Kinshiki like he did to Sasuke in Shippuden, considering that Kinshiki is somewhat of a sensory type?


texts: "Full-time Employment is a Loophole in the Law to Make Wages Lower"?

texts:
In Episode 10, which itself is called "Full-time Employment is a Loophole in the Law to Make Wages Lower…" or 「正社員ってお給料を安くするための法の抜け穴...」 「Seishain tte Okyūryō o Yasukusuru Tame no Hō no Nukeana 」 (essentially taken from the dialogue)…

When referring to why Nene can't work as a playtester on weekends, they discuss:

  Aoba: Why can't part-timers work on the weekends?
  Kou: Oh, it depends on the company, but they're paid by the hour, so if they worked overtime and weekends, they'd get paid more than you, Aoba.
  Aoba: W-Wait a minute! Is being a full-time employee just a loophole to make wages lower?
  Kou: We can talk about that some other time.

What is this referring to? Is this something that also applies to the western world or some kind of business law in Japan?


texts: Why was it relevant that Aoi used her World during the battle at the end of episode 4?

texts:
In the battle at the end of episode 4, Canaria and Aoi get flown into Tokyo Bay by two Tokyo students, shortly before Suzaku flies Himekawa into point-blank range of the Leviathan-class Unknown to wipe it out. Upon arrival, Canaria employs her World to fortify/power-up the other combatants. Well enough.

However, Suzaku comments that Canaria's World is being combined/overlain with Aoi's World (which, as you will recall, is the ability to record and retransmit people's perceptions). This is probably what Canaria asked Aoi to do just before she started singing.

But why is this relevant? I can't think of any useful effect Aoi's World could have here, nor did I see anything to indicate that anyone was receiving any perceptions transmitted by Aoi.

texts: What is the name of an anime about a special forces, socially inept high school student bodyguard?

texts: I remember watching an anime about a special ops soldier who is assigned to be the bodyguard of a high school student. He is also socially inept in that he interprets almost anything as a threat to her. I believe it has two seasons, the first season of which is actual plot, and the second season is episodic, comical episodes.

texts:
Disregarding for a second that

   Madara is now dead, after ceasing to be a Jinchuuriki

The Death Note has a rule which states that

  You cannot kill humans at the age of 124 or over with the Death Note.

The timeline isn't well explained, and I tried to reach a conclusion with a friend, but couldn't eventually.

The question is: Is Madara over 124 years old? And thus immune to the effects of a Death Note?


texts: What is this anime with the power to change garbage into a tree?

texts:
I think I watched it around the late 90s or early 2000s, and I think it's pretty popular. It's a shounen about male protagonist that can convert garbage into trees or leaves to make a weapon. Later he has the power to recycle his leaf into garbage and later turn it again into a leaf. There's also a man, I think an enemy of the protagonist's, that can change fabric into iron and become his weapon.

What is this anime?

In general, what are the main problems that harm the accuracy of the english translation of a manga? After this process, considering that problems, "shades" and "feelings" in the dialogues, with respect to the same title in the original japanese language are preserved enough?

Please, can you give me any example and why? many thanks. (:


texts: What anime with "four godly kings" is referenced by Seitokai Yakuindomo in episode 2?

texts:
In the second episode of Seitokai Yakuindomo, at around the 12 minute mark, Shino Amakusa is referencing different animes. She says, at one point,

  "how about a fiancé who's sword dancing outside of the party grounds"

which makes it pretty obvious she's probably talking about Princess Lover!. However, before that, she mentions

  "maybe the one where the antagonist was defeated, but it turns out that he was the first pupil of the four godly kings"

to which Aria Shichijou responds with

  "you have to provide a glimpse of the last boss, too"

And I have no idea which anime they're referencing to. What is the name of the anime with the antagonist and the four godly kings?


texts: What happened to people who committed crimes (such as killing) in SAO?

texts:
There are many people in SAO who committed crimes (such as doing PK), yet managed to survive until the end of the game. What happened to them after that? Did they go to trial and get sentenced to prison?

If that's the case, what about people (like Kirito) who killed others involuntarily in self-defense? Were they exempted from trial?


texts:
In Gintama episode 349, Agomi mentioned that the gate "she" is guarding is called "Morocco Gate"?

texts: Why did the Magic Council make so many Faces?

texts:
If Face can eradicate all magic on Fiore, why did the council make so many of them?

Magic is their first line of defence, after all, they are the Magic Council. But even if something did come up where they needed to eradicate magic, why would they make so many Faces, especially if they were trying to keep them a big secret?

I could understand if there are 2 or 3, but why hundreds?

If they had multiple, it would make more sense to spread them out, but why would they keep them all in the same place?


texts: Why don't English translated light novels retain the "backwards" page ordering?

texts:
Despite us westerners reading from left-to-right, top-to-bottom from the front to back with the book spine on our left, when manga is translated and localized (officially) it retains the Japanese way of reading, right-to-left from the back forward with the book spine on our right.

From my understanding the Japanese read text from top-down in vertical lines and since this is probably too much for westerners, it's "corrected" in manga. However, while we still read the text left-to-right, the frames/pages of the manga still retain the right-to-left ordering.

With light novels however, this doesn't appear to be the case. With the light novels of Strawberry Panic localized by Seven Seas and Spice and Wolf localized by Yen Press, the books are read from left-to-right with the spine on our left; this includes the order of pages.

Now ignoring the obvious problems of printing the words backwards, why aren't English translated light novels printed with the reverse page ordering? Where we start from the back of the book with the spine on our right?

texts: What is the music that plays in Bleach Episode 46 ~19:54

texts: Can you guys tell me what the name of the music that plays in Bleach episode 46 around 19:54. When Aizen and Ichimaru arrive to save the students from hollows. I love this song and can't find the name on the internet.


texts: What is the Music called which is played when antagonists are plotting something?

texts:
I am not a fan of questions like this myself, but I am really curious and I couldn't find any answers. I searched through the whole OST myself.

I am looking for the music which is often played when the antagonists are plotting something. A good example is Season 1, Episode 19, directly after the Opening, when Raijuta is introduced.

It is quite fast-paced, with a repeating melody, kinda synth-like.


texts: What does the symbol on Akatsuki's costume represent?

texts: I'm referring to the red-colored, white-bordered cloud-shaped pattern which is present on the costume of all of the Akatsuki members. What is it called and what does it represent? Do they have a special meaning regarding the mission of Akatsuki or is it just plain-art with no real significance to it?


texts:
In episode 1 of Tsuritama Grandma Keito has a new job and she moves to Enoshima with Yuki.  She now works here (time mark 7:11):

The old-timey font defeats me, and I can't read it.  The best I can do is Gnolhima Samuel Cocting Garden. She is obviously a horticulturist of some sort. What is the actual name of the place?  I'm pretty sure "Samuel" and "Garden" are right.


texts: Can you end up with a different type of magic than taught?

texts:
In Fairy Tail, can you end up with a different magic than you’ve been taught?

e.g: You’re trained by a fire dragon but ends up with Ice Dragon Slayer Magic.

e.g: You’re trained by an Ice-Make wizard but ends up with Fire-Make magic.
Stuff like that. Because in Fairy Tail, I’m not sure, but does each person have its element like in Naruto? Like they only have ice as element and things like that...?


texts: All guild members have a mark of their guild, what exactly are they? Is it just a regular tattoo or is there some kind of magic contract?
