texts: Was Kayano's recovery affected by Heaven's Spear?

texts:
Spoilers for Assassination Classroom's ending.

In the final battle,

   Kayano is killed, but Koro Sensei manages to repair most of the damage by using the somatic cells he collected from her in the same instant.

Koro Sensei mentions that not all cells can be repaired, so instead he filled the gaps with his mucus and in a few days Kayano's cells should regenerate and replace the mucus on their own.

But this occurs a little before the Heaven's Spear laser strikes, and we know that all the students were hit by it. This would mean that Koro Sensei's mucus would have evaporated, opening the gaps again.

Is there any indication that Kayano's health was affected by the laser strike? Of course I doubt that the gaps would be enough to kill her or cause any major damage anyway, but this seems like a pretty obvious situation to consider.

A possible explanation is that the mucus is unaffected by the laser, but I doubt it because the engineers were complaining that the strike would leave no sample material they could analyze (and I imagine that the mucus counts as sample material).

Can Logia Devil Fruit users get hot or cold?

Mera Mera No Mi (Fire Devil Fruit) - If this user were to be walking on an island of snow, would they be able to control their body temperature and stay warm (internally)? Or would they get cold like a normal person?
Yuki Yuki no Mi (Snow Devil Fruit) - If this user were to be walking on a desert island, would they be able to control their body temperature and stay cool (internally)? Or would they get hot like a normal person?

What is the device which the white shirted (unnamed) man was working on in his garden in episode 1?

In my opinion, it may be something for communicating with his wife, since they are not able to come close to each other. But I can't make sure of it.

texts: Like if you have a Churchill I, but slap the track covers on and that's it, without actually getting a later model that already has it on. Or putting the spaced armor on a different model of a Panzer IV. Everything was made/designed before or during 1945 but just never fitted out that way. Would that be allowed?


texts: How did Alphonse rebound his soul to his previous body?

texts: Ed gave up his alchemy, so when Ed and Al lost there bodies (Al's body and Ed's left and right are), he received both his limbs and Al's previous body, Al's body was attached to the armor with a blood seal so Ed sacrificed his left leg and Al's body to bring there mother back to life. Here's where I'm at so after Ed lost his limb and they brought their mother soulless body back, he used his right arm to bound Al's bodyless soul to the armor, at the end of brotherhood Ed gave up his alchemy to bring their bodies back (Ed's arm and leg and Al's body) So how was his soul rebound to Al's original body?


texts:
In the anime, it was stated that Uchihas have the best eyes in terms of sight and visual prowess. If Uchihas have the best sight then why does Sarada Uchiha wear glasses?

I know there was the whole 'who is Sarada's mom' arc but

   it was revealed that Sakura is Sarada's mom, not Karin

so then why does she have glasses? Even though her glasses are a gift, we know that she legitimately needs them (she doesn't wear them for style) and neither of her parents wear glasses.

I haven't read the manga so if there are any canon reasons as to why Sarada has glasses can you please give me the source?


texts: Why does Urano Metria take double her magic the second time

texts: The first time Lucy casts Urano Metria she used her own power to defeat Angel with no problem. But the next time, when she uses it in The Grand Magic Games she has to combine her power with Gemini to cast it and says it was still weaker than the first time and since this was after her second origin was unlocked she would have at least 3 time as much magic energy (her origin would double it and gemini would double that) So what makes her first casting so strong.


texts: Are the ex-parasites in Darling in the FranXX immortal?

texts:
In the final episode of the anime, Nana and Hachi (who used to be parasites in the past) claim that they're immortal:

  We don't age and we're stuck in the middle, neither adults nor children. We have but one duty: to reach out to humanity's future and continue to watch over it. ~Hachi

But just a few minutes later the conversation between Futoshi and Ikuno seems to contradict it:

  It's all thanks to your research that us ex-parasites' accelerated aging is being kept in check. ~Futoshi

What information have I missed? Are ex-parasites immortal or mortal?


texts: Are anime episodes/manga chapters really free?

texts: I believe almost all of the people watching anime or reading manga get them from various sites like watchop.com, Crunchyroll, anime44, etc., and similarly for manga there are various sites. But are these episodes/chapters really free of cost for the audience? I know that these companies have their major source of income from merchandise and all other stuff but the episodes/chapters are available on net so easily that too for free. Aren't there any copyright violations? If there are why don't these anime/manga companies do something about it?

texts: Reason for the change in the eye colour of Naruto

texts:
During the fight of Team Asuma and Kakashi vs Kakuzu and Hidan, Naruto eyes changed. It's like the Fox's eyes but still in blue.

When Kurama possesses him his eyes color would change to red, but during this fight his eyes were blue. Is there a explanation for this?

There is a meme created from the Death Note manga which details a character yelling at Matsuda and instructing him to swim. (A similar meme was created as a GIF from the anime.)

I can't imagine this is the actual dialog for this scene, just based on what's going on. What are they actually saying, and what chapter/episode is this event from?


texts: Has there ever been a Holy Grail War where the victor got their wish?

texts:
Generally a Master and Servant participates in a Holy Grail War with the promise of a wish to be granted. in some cases like with Tokiomi Tohsaka and Waver Velvet the wish granting of the Holy Grail isn't their goal (the former sought the Root which is the main function of the grail, the latter just wanted to prove himself by winning) while other's like Diarmuid Ua Duibhne had their wish granted by being in the war.

However to my understanding with the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars (Fate/Stay Night), the Moon Cell's Holy Grail War (Fate/Extra) and Tokyo Holy Grail War (Fate/Prototype) there has never been a victor and in later iterations something would actually prevent the proper granting of a wish (Fuyuki = Angra Mainyu's corruption. Moon Cell = Twice telling Masters to make his wish or be destroyed. Tokyo = Questionable if wish granting was ever possible, the true purpose was to summon Beast)

However i'm not entirely sure about some of the other Holy Grail Wars like the Subcategory Holy Grail Wars (Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/Labyrinth), the false Snowfield Holy Grail War (Fate/Strange Fake) or any other Holy Grail War i have missed as to whether or not they could and/or ended up granting someone's wish.

So has there ever been a Holy Grail War where the victor got their wish?


texts: Is the Manias version of "Sanki Tousen" available as a single?

texts:
Question

Has the Manias version of "Sanki Tousen" been made available for sale, or, alternatively, is there an announcement that it will not be made available for sale? It is, notably, not part of "Akiba's Collection", unlike all the other EDs.

Background context

So, in Akiba's Trip: The Animation, there are these three characters, Mayonaka Matome, Denkigai Niwaka, and Arisa Ahokainen. Within the show, they form an idol unit called "Manias".

These three characters are voiced, respectively, by TAKAHASHI Rie, KOUNO Marika, and NAGAKU Yuki. In real life, they constitute an idol unit called "Earphones".

The "trademark" song of the Manias, so to speak, is a song titled "Sanki Tousen" (サンキトウセン). They perform this song as an insert in episode 3 and again in episode 11. "Sanki Tousen" performed by Manias is the ED for episode 4.

Separately, Earphones (the real-life idol unit) performs this same song as the ED for episode 3. The Earphones version of "Sanki Tousen" is track #3 on the album "Akiba's Collection".

You might be sitting there wondering why I'm asking this question, given that I've just pointed out that Manias and Earphones consist of exactly the same people. What difference could there possibly be between the two versions of the song?

Well, it turns out that the Manias version is discernibly sung in-character, while the Earphones version isn't. This is easiest to detect with Nagaku Yuki, whose character voice (Arisa) differs most significantly from her regular singing voice. A careful comparison of the two versions of the Arisa solo verse that begins "seseragi" will make it clear that the two versions are subtly different.


texts: What is the origin of this facial expression with one's tongue sticking out?

texts:
I've seen this expression probably a dozen times in anime and manga. There are many variants, but they all have the character's tongue sticking up out of the side of their mouth. Their eyes are also typically big and sometimes in the shape of a backwards の character, or sometimes winking. Here are a few examples, though there are many more:

Bakemonogatari:

Clannad:

Tonari no Kashiwagi-san:

What is the origin of these expressions? Are they referring to a particular art style or character?

texts: Why does Fujin choose to talk the way she does?

texts:
In Final Fantasy VIII, Fujin talks using one-word sentences throughout most of the game.

However, close to the end of the game, she uses much longer sentences when she is pleading with Seifer to stop what he is doing.

Now it's obvious that it's a decision on her part to talk like in the first screenshot, and while I can assume she only makes "small talk", is it explained why she uses one word most of the time which can be read as yelling (all caps)? Is it like this in the Japanese version?


texts: Does Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code add to Melty Blood ReACT?

texts:
When I was playing Melty Blood, I learned of Melty Blood ReACT and how it had the original story plus an additional set of stories done though the arcade mode which focuses on White Len's manipulation of TATARI. I stopped playing the original Melty Blood and of course I had to restart my route progression.

Now I've come to know about the upcoming Steam Release of Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code. From what I have read, its story is a squeal to Melty Blood

   as Dust of Osiris is a future Sion in control of TATARI that comes about after the original TATARI was destroyed.

Also, in the Type-Moon Wiki it says

  Melty Blood Actress Again is the first game of the Melty Blood series which can be considered a sequel rather than an expansion or port of a previous game.

However, according to VNDB, it's just another release like Melty Blood ReACT. So I am wondering, does Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code contain the story lines from Melty Blood ReACT and just add this sequel storyline on top (along with new game mechanics) like how ReACT did when it added the Arcade Stories on top of the original Melty Blood, or does Actress Again remove any of the stories that was in ReACT?

texts:
Saitama, who trained for three years only doing 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit ups, and ran 10 kilometers every day, became a "superhero for fun", but what does he mean by that.

Is he really only doing it "for fun" or did he have motives but then forgot? Because normally a hero does it for a reason like to protect the ones they love, to defeat all evil, to prove that their strong, to protect something like humankind, etc.. Or is he really just doing it "for fun" because he's bored. Or is there actually a deep meaning for those words?

texts: Can a person die before their lifespan ends?

texts: So we all know, that everyone in Death Note has a lifespan and one day, they'll die when their lifespan runs out. But doesn't that mean, that the victims who get killed by a serial killer are destined to being killed by him? Or are their deaths destined the moment a serial killer decides to kill them?


texts:
I'm watching Re:Creators but even after 9 episodes of the anime, I still don't understand how Magane's powers work. So, the question is, how does it work?

Wikipedia states this but I still don't understand it.

  She possesses an ability called "Infinite Deception of Words" that allows her to bend reality through lies and deception; by telling a lie and manipulating somebody into rejecting that claim it creates a "lie of a lie" which by proxy makes the initial claim become real.


texts: A manga with a scene of a group entering a city and learning that they have to pay 10 silver to leave

texts:
I'm sorry, I can't be too specific, since I only read 1 volume in a library.

Here's what I remember about the volume 6:

There's a group of fighters who want to meet this powerful villain, and on their adventure, they travel into a city. However, it costs 10 silver to enter and leave the city, so they have to work there to pay their debt.
The three boys in the group decide to work in a quarry, but the pay sucks. They work for several hours but only receive 38 bronze.
Then, a man introduces them to a new job of washing girl's backs, which pays 1 silver for every customer. Two of the boys are excited to do it (one of them being the main character), while the other boy refuses, saying that girls are generally the ones washing his back.
After a while, the two boys spot a girl and both rush over to wash her back, and the main character ends up knocking the girl over and lands on top of her. It turns out that the girl is actually his partner. She throws a bucket at him while he tries to apologize and leaves the bath. This makes the main character depressed.
In the end, he earns 30 silver to share with the other boy he was working with. However, the man who introduced them to the job demands a finder's fee of 29 silver.

Okay, I think that's more than enough. Thanks in advance if you can help me :D!

So I am wondering, when does the novel occur relative to the manga?

Since volume 16 of Yona of the Dawn is going to be released January 5th, 2019, I was thinking of buying volume 15 for a Christmas present for myself. I was wondering if volume 15 stops at that chapter or continues. If it continues, then I plan to buy it. If not, then I'll probably wait for volume 16.

How many chapters does volume 15 have and what are their numbers?

texts: What does the dialog related to Nanami's quote in the last episode of Bokura Ga Ita mean?

texts:
In the last scene of the final episode of Bokura Ga Ita (ep. 26), Yano repeats a quote that Nanami made in an earlier episode. The quote was

   "it all equals out".

In the earlier episode, where the quote originated, Nanami was explaining to Yano how

   he may not have anyone he loves, but there are people who really love him and thus "shouldn't it all equal out?"

Now, back to the final scene. He repeats the quote

   "it all equals out" and questions it. He says, "it didn't all equal out," and that "it ended up more equal...on the positive side."

I've watched two different translations of the scene and I am still confused. I originally thought it was basically saying

   'you love no one, but someone loves you a lot, so it equals out', so I'm not understanding the "sides".

What exactly is "the positive side"? Did he simply just mean

   I loved no one, Nanami loved me dearly, and it ended up being on the "side" of me loving Nanami?

Or is there more to it?

Note that this isn't a question about "how it ended". This is a question about the literal meaning of the final lines in the anime. I suspect it might be something lost in translation.

When the Kyuubi attacked the Leaf Village after being hypnotized by Tobi, Minato as a last resort separated the Kyuubi into two parts. Recently in the latest chapters of the manga, it looks like the Kyuubi was separated into Black and White, as in Evil and Good, or Yin and Yang.

What technique did he use? Did he really split the Kyuubi into good and evil halves? Or is it just something made up for the split?


texts: Is there any significance in Mr. Tanaka's chibified form?

texts:
In Kuroshitsuji, most of the time Mr. Tanaka is drawn in chibified form and says nothing but "ho ho ho". At certain times, however, he reverts back to his normal form for a short amount of time, like when he returned to his former rank of head butler following Sebastian's absence. Is there any significance to this? Does it has any meaning for the story?

Edit: I mean like how Finny was a kaizo-ningen (he underwent an operation to gain inhuman strength) or how Mei Rin was an assassin and Bard was a soldier.

In the OVA Rurouni Kenshin : Seisouhen, there was a scene where Sanosuke and Kenshin met each other again after a few years. Sanosuke tossed Kenshin a grilled fish on a stick and Kenshin wasn't able to catch it showing that the disease had slowed his speed and reaction time severely.

Kaoru seemed to have caught the disease from Kenshin after spending a night together which means it's some kind of an STD.

Is there any disease that's similar to the aforementioned, in real life?

at first i thought that it was because Garland took control but when Madain Sari was destroyed The Invincible took the form of an eye here and this time Garland wanted to destroy the summoners, fearing their Eidolon.

But why does it take the form of an eye? if it was just to hide the fact it's a machine it's not like an Eidolon can't be a machine as Ark and Alexander are machines and Eidolons

texts:
At the beginning of "AL℃-@" (track 09 on the Aldnoah.Zero soundtrack), before the German lyrics ("Ich reich dir meine Hand" and so forth) kick in around 0:46, the vocalist (Cyua) is singing something. Whatever it is, it's not part of the printed lyrics, and it contains the word "Aldnoah". Beyond that, I'm not sure what she's singing.

I doubt that there are any official lyrics for that part of the track, but perhaps someone who has learned how to parse Hiroyuki Sawano's mangled German could weigh in?

Here is a short extract of the segment in question: http://clyp.it/h3hfpevb

texts: Regarding Shirou and Kiritsugu's attempt to destroy the grail

texts:
So, I just finished Fate/Zero, and since Fate/stay night happened, clearly Kiritsugu was unable to destroy the grail to end the cycle (as I understand his intentions to be).  However, it seems like Shirou and Saber did the same thing, but this time without the massive devastation, and it seems like maybe he succeeded.

Why did Shirou succeed while Kiritsugu failed?

I would also appreciate any links to resources to better my understanding of the Fate universe regarding the animes' endings.

texts: What happened to the Titans after the Survey Corps left the walls?

texts:
What happened to all the Titans roaming outside the walls when the Survey Corps left the wall and arrived at the ocean? I mean, surely they couldn't not have disappeared into thin air now (Like the Colossal Titan), right? Surely the Survey Corps would have encountered vast amounts of Titans as always when venturing outside the walls.

I know for a fact that the Survey Corps did not install Titan guillotines all over Wall Maria, like it was used in Trost District.

I distinctly remember in one of the chapters, it mentioned that the Survey Corps went along beaten Titan trails outside of the walls, and encountering little to no Titan Resistance. How is this possible? Am I missing something from the Manga/Anime?

texts: Anime where teenage girl's growth has stopped

texts: I watched this anime 1-2 years ago but can't remember the name. I would like to watch it again. Judging by the style of the anime it is quite new, I would say no more than 5 years old. The story is about a girl in her teens living with her father. Illness isn't quite the word for it, but her growth has stopped resulting in her looking like a 1st or 2nd grader. She falls in love, but I don't remember how that ends. As she is a teenage girl, she is very cautious of fashion and her main problem is finding clothes that she likes. In the end she start designing clothes for children and people with the same problem as her.


texts: Why wasn't Killer Bee recognized as the 5th Raikage?

texts:
After the Great Fourth Shinobi World War, all the Kages are heavily injured, especially the 4th Raikage who lost his hand (which was answered nicely by Ankit Sharma here).

Now, the 5th Raikage selected was Darui, a shinobi of Kumogakure and the right-hand-man of the 4th Raikage. He may be capable of this position & may have proved his worth in the War.

On the other hand, here is what I think of Killer Bee:

He is also a good & talented Shinobi.
He is the brother of the 4th Raikage.
He is a jinchuriki.
He has a well-controlled of his tailed beast. He even taught it to Naruto.
Even Minato, the 4th Hokage also praised Killer Bee on a fight with the 4th Raikage.
He's the master/sensei of Omoi, Samui, and Darui.
Having a good relationship with all other Kages.
Unique fight style which I absorbed.

Considering this, why wasn't Killer Bee recognized as the 5th Raikage?

texts: Does Wata no Kunihoshi manga have a continuation after chapter 6, or an anime adaptation?

texts:
The manga is called Wata no Kunihoshi (in English, "The Star of Cottonland") and it is a shōjo manga by Yumiko Ōshima.

It's about a kitten girl named Chibi NeKo. I've read all the way to chapter six, and can't seem to find a chapter seven.

Do you have any information at all, regarding the continuation of the series or any adaptations it may have had in animation?


texts: Are they all just called anbu or do they have special divisions like the hidden leaf anbu?


texts:
There is a shoujo manga I remember reading probably about six years ago (give or take) about a school with a hair cutting club in it. There are a few boys in it (maybe 3) and they are essentially celebrities within their school. They do hair cutting shows for the school in the auditorium, and they turn the girls from being unattractive to being very attractive. They may have also done makeup for the girls as well.

There was a girl in the manga who had been trained by one of the master hair cutters (her father) but she didn't like cutting hair. She ends up getting involved in it, however, and she's very good at it. I think in the manga book covers she had pink or orange hair. Does anyone know what manga this was?

texts:
Sannoh, the defending national champions, are a team of buzz cut hair. Here are their starters:

Even their substitute (Mikio) has the same haircut:

This gives the team a very distinctive appearance and no doubt makes them look intimidating.

Was it ever explained in the manga (or other media) why they all have this haircut?
Were they based on some real-life team or players that had this haircut?


texts: Is it possible to combine all five chakra elements?

texts:
The title says it all... but I'll elaborate:

Initially we see techniques derived from a single chakra element (Katon, Doton, Suiton, Fuuton and Raiton). These are the most common, since usually a ninja can master only one chakra nature (since normally ninjas tend to have an affiliation with only one chakra nature)
Later we discover these can be combined in a number of ways, creating new elements (Mokuton=Doton+Suiton, Ranton=Raiton+Suiton, Youton=Katon+Doton, among several others). From what I understand, these are usually transmitted as a Kekkei Genkai. But I believe they can also be created by the combinations of the elements, by ninja who didn't inherit it from other generations (correct me if I'm wrong). These are not uncommon, but less frequent than the ones above (there are ninja who can master and possess affiliation to more than one chakra nature: Sasuke comes to mind, since he can master both Katon and Raiton. Katon is his clan's natural affiliation, and he mastered Raiton too. However, I don't remember if he has ever combined the both of them)
Even later, we find about combinations of even more elements by ninja who can master several elements, such as Muu (Nidaime Tsuchikage) and Oonoki (Sandaime Tsuchikage), who can combine Katon, Doton and Fuuton, to create Jinton. These are called Kekkei Touta. I don't know if they can also be transmitted through Kekkei Genkai, or if they can only be taught. They are even rarer than the ones above, since ninja can rarely master or be naturally affiliated to more than two chakra natures (Terumii Mei the Godaime Mizukage, can also master Doton, Katon and Suiton, but I don't think she ever combines more than two at each time).

My questions are:

Are combinations of chakra natures taught or only transmitted by Kekkei Genkai (or both)?
Are combinations of more than three chakra natures possible?
And the above question created a new one for me: Can a ninja master more than three chakra natures? (I think Kakashi does, but I am not quite sure about this)


texts: Where is the joke that Ishida said came from?

texts:
In Koe no Katachi, volume 1, chapter 2, page 37, first panel, Ishida said that.

  Because her ears don't have "H"

What does Ishida mean by that? While his teacher did laugh too. What's funny with that joke?

In Indonesian version, he said (I have translated it to English using Google translate)

  Because Her ears hadn't been written with the sutra

The Sutra in this context refers to Buddha or Hindu religion.

What's with the translation? Is the Licensed Indonesia translation not the true sentence? Which one is the correct sentence?


texts: How do Pokemon Mega Evolve by themselves?

texts:
According to Bulbapedia:

  In order to Mega Evolve, most Pokemon must be holding their
  appropriate Mega Stone and the Trainer must have a Key Stone. Only
  Rayquaza does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must
  know the move Dragon Ascent.

In the Pokemon XY anime, at the end of the first thirty or so episodes there is a short clip introducing all the of mega evolutions. Most of them are seen to be wild and mega evolve as they feel.

If they had a trainer but the anime didn't show it, fair enough. However, what about Mewtwo Y in the 16th movie, and Latias and Latios in the 18th movie, they definitely did not have trainers.

So how do they Mega Evolve by themselves?

texts: Why did Angel and Otonashi want to pass on and make others pass on?

texts:
The characters think passing on makes them re-incarnate. They are not sure what happens after passing on.

Consider these points on why a sane person would not want to pass on:

You live in a world where you don't die (pass on) as long as you don't attend classes or be a model student. That means you don't need to study unlike in the real world where you are even beaten (happens where I live) or punished by teachers if you don't get good grades. You won't be humiliated by others for being dumb.
You can get superhuman powers just by writing a computer program. You could copy, share and edit programs and probably fly and double jump. You can become a super hero. You can. Deadpool has only regeneration and became a super hero, but in Angel Beats, it's the minimum power you have. What Kanade did was just the tip of the iceberg.
There are computers. You can play video games and program your own. You could create and share videos on sites or social networks like Youtube and Facebook. You can probably integrate websites or software into your powers and automate them. Free internet and computers which is a limited in the real world to the previliged few. Especially not computers which you can use to re-program yourself.
You could reincarnate into something or someone who is way worse off. The characters' lives are not really that unfortunate compared to many in the real world. You could be reborn as a holocaust victim or an activist who is tortured or a young girl in forced prostitution or a terrorist in Guantanamo Bay or a pig raised for meat in a closed cage.
You get free food and every other basic resource you need. You can create everything you want from dust. Consider being born in an impoverished nation during a famine.
You're probably going to lose your memory. Even if they reincarnate into someone like a Rich Kid who is always happy and enjoys his/her life (Which is very less likely in the real world) you'd still lose your memories. People by nature are afraid of memory loss.

texts: Why does the first Season of Naruto have different Openings at the same time?

texts:
I've just been reminded of this from reading another question. For the first Season of Naruto (before the Chunin Exams) i've seen 3 openings.

Southen Cross 10's Toasted TV (Dubbed - Zabuza's blood spurt from Haku and Kakashi being blind-sided by shuriken are black and white freeze frame. Naruto Poison scene is normal)
Cartoon Network (Dubbed - no censor as far as i know)
DVD (Dubbed - No Censor)

i suspect also the 4Kids version which for the Naruto Poison scene, Naruto is complaining about dropping his lunch, may also have a different opening however i actuly have never seen that (however i hear it notorious since it changes so much)

i am wondering why there are so many different openings for the same episodes?

NOTE: the Naruto Poison Scene is after they fight the 2 Water Ninja and Naruto makes that speach of not running away after extracting the poison with a Kunai. Kakashi then says something like

  Ahh Naruto, that was cool how you took out the poison and all, but if you don't treat the bleeding soon, your going to die. *pause* it's a good idea to stop the bleeding now

EDIT: all 3 openings i have seen occur for the same episodes, ie. Episode 2 on the DVD has one opening, the same episodes on Cartoon Network and Toasted TV has different openings.


texts: Why does Roy Mustang's flame alchemy work?

texts:
The show requires us to suspend disbelief to the point where Roy Mustang can alter densities of gases or induce some chemical reactions, but not necessarily change elements themselves. It argues the energy required to generate 'real' transmutations is much higher, so you need something like the philosophers stone.

Now, the animes claim he generates explosions by altering oxygen density profiles in the air and triggering a reaction by creating a spark. See under 'Abilities' here: http://fullmetal-alchemist-database.wikia.com/wiki/Roy_Mustang

However, while oxygen assists combustion, it is not flammable by itself. Hence, the flame needs to travel along a path of oxygen and combustible material from Mustang to his target. The show offers no explanation for where this combustible material comes from.

Perhaps flammable gases or water vapor (that could be converted to hydrogen) in air could be utilized to create explosions. However, these gases are present at levels lower than 1% in the atmosphere, and concentrating them sufficiently to create an explosive needs volumes several orders of magnitude larger than what Mustang has access to in the show. (intuitively, the atmospheric water vapor in the volume contained by a large living room will not fill a glass of water).

Given what I have argued so far, and without having to suspend disbelief further, how does Mustang's flame alchemy even work? It feels like the authors of the show are (erroneously) assuming oxygen is combustible.

Then how is it possible for Goku to sense North Kai and Supreme Kai(s)?


texts: Philosophical meaning on how Ed beat/defeats Truth?

texts:
I've been reading around everywhere on this topic and haven't really come to a proper understanding.
From what I've read, Ed beats truth by sacrificing his gate and from this he gets to take Al back home.

Now this doesn't make sense. Does this mean that he essentially sacrificed everything, his ability to do alchemy, and in return he gets to "take anything you want" which is what Truth says back to him in the Japanese dub?

What's the deeper philosophical meaning to this? Why would you give up/sacrifice/destroy truth? Isn't it important to know the truth?

Does sacrificing truth destroy it, i.e. the truth is you can't do this, so I sacrifice truth, and truth doesn't exist except what I think it is?
So I become truth and essentially I can do anything because I am truth?

Any explanations?

In the episode 20 of the first season of Bakuman, there's a promotioner lady giving out something (somewhat iPhone shaped), but the surroundings are static and it doesn't look like anyone is taking whatever she has.

Considering the anime is about manga production, I suppose the square where this lady is standing might be close to the Yuueisha building, or even the promotion is directly affiliated with the company, but I have no idea what this item could be.


texts: Besides the mecha, space and aldnoah technology displayed in the show, how technologically advanced is Vers compared to 2014' real world Earth?

texts:
Vers was colonized in 1980 according to the official timeline. Since Rayregalia cut ties with Earth shortly after, lets assume the scientific development was split, save for the occasional espionage or exchange.

There is much Mecha, space and aldnoah technology on screen, but what about the other fields? They should be really advanced in physics (having firsthand opportunity to build those special mecha), but in some ways it seems they have regressed. Like in social sciences.

How is Vers' knowledge, compared to our own?

texts: Where do the Alter characters come from?

texts:
I'm fairly new to the Fate series, and I've been seeing a ton of art of 'Alter' characters?

I've seen a lot of fanart of King Arthur (the one you'd regularly see in the FGO game), and that makes sense. But then I see art of Alter Arthur, where the character has silver hair, but I can't seem to find any information on this character.

I get that 'Alter' generally means 'Alternative'. So I'm assuming that these are alternative versions of the characters.

Where are all of these Alter characters coming from? Are they official? What should I take a look at to get filled-in on this sort of info?

Mahou Sensei Negima! is a manga by Akamatsu Ken which has had an anime and live action adaptation of the same name.

There is also another manga called Negima!? Neo by Fujima Takuya which was made into an anime titled Negima!?. Wikipedia says that Fujima is the author and Akamatsu merely provided guidance. MAL, however, credits Akamatsu as a story author (along with Fujima).

Is there any official statement on Akamatsu's role in Negima!? Neo?

I mostly want to know if he played a major role in its creation or just basically made sure Fujima didn't completely ruin his series and/or its' reputation.

texts: How does Araragi know Ougi in Mayoi Jiangshi?

texts:
In the beginning of Mayoi Jiangshi, we meet Ougi when she talks to Araragi in the traffic light conversation (i.e. "Did you know that there is a time when all lights at an intersection are red?"). I didn't really think much of the fact that it was this random girl talking to him, thinking it was a friend from school.

Once I saw Ougi in the other ones in 2nd season / tsuki, I realized that that was also Ougi. Now that Owari is out, we see where he first meets Ougi. Because of that, I thought that this part of Owari was at the very beginning of 2nd season.

However, this site puts it after Mayoi Jiangshi. How is this possible?

After the War, many things changed with the Marine.

There are new unknown Admirals, but does anybody know what Sengoku's new position is?

(After timeskip, he doesn't seem very serious any more)

I found this in the Wiki:

  Sengoku the Buddha was the fleet admiral of the Marines during the
  first half of the series. He was the successor of Kong and the
  predecessor of Sakazuki. He was also one of the major figures along
  with Whitebeard, Shiki, and Monkey D. Garp during the times when Gol
  D. Roger was still alive, and still continues to be in the present,
  even after his resignation from the Marines. Sometime during the
  timeskip, he became a General Inspector.

Does anybody know what "General Inspector" is?

texts: what is the symbolism of the floating sword over the Vatican?

texts:
when we see the Vatican in Trinity Blood, one thing that makes it stand out (compared to the irl version) is that it has a floating sword

at first i thought this might have been a Sword of Damocles but generally when there is a Sword of Damocles reference, the sword is a threat ie. in Code Geass

   the Sword of Damocles's purpose was to float above earth to be able to nuke anything and everything no matter where

but in the images we see of this floating sword over the Vatican, it looks like the sword, if dropped, would just drop infront of the entrance rather than on the Vatican building, so the symbolism is sorta lost if it was a Sword of Damocles.

So i am wondering what the symbolism is of this floating sword, and if it is a Sword of Damocles, how exactly is it a Sword of Damocles?

texts: Does Saotome Ranma talk like a member of the Yakuza?

texts:
In Ranma 1/2, it's made obvious that Saotome Ranma speaks in a very casual and informal way...but when I played a particular sound bite for some people who speak Japanese (but who were not familiar with the anime), both of them seemed to think that the sound bite was from someone playing a member of the Yakuza.

Does Ranma really speak with such a provocative accent in general, or did I pick a sound bite that just could happen to sound like that?

(It's probably not critical to the question, but the bit I played, in case you're curious, was from the "Lambada / Ranma da" song off of one of the soundtracks where he says "omee, kawaiku nee n da yo")

So Rukia gets grabbed by Yammy in Las Noches:

Yammy then throws her at the ground, but she is falling for more than a couple of minutes:

But Ichigo jumps from above the sky in Las Noches and makes it to her before she hits the ground:

I know physics is not always followed in anime but this just seems so far off. Why would the animators do this? The scene does not seem way too important to me, and you don't even see Ichigo save Rukia—it is implied that he does as he is seen standing next to her when the smoke clears.

This happens at the end of episode 285 and into episode 286.

However, due to the emboldened part above, it appears the flask is somehow keeping him alive (though he is only corked inside it). How does it do this, and how would he die if he left?

texts:
In the short anime Final Fantasy VII: The Last Order, which retells events of Nibelhelm conflict, when Cloud arrives to Nibel mountain reactor Tifa regains consciousness and sees Cloud, stating that he came to save her just as he promised.

Yet, in original Final Fantasy VII Tifa remains unconscious, so she doesn't know that Cloud ever was in Nibelhelm (and some plot details heavily rely on this) until visiting his memories.

So, is this a mistake in the anime script? Or is it somehow explained why Tifa later doesn't remember Cloud visiting Nibelhelm?

texts: Why has no one except Bakugo figured out that All Might passed his powers to Deku?

texts:
I have been watching Boku no Hero Academia for a while now and in my opinion, Midoriya's smash, "power type" way of fighting is so unmistakably and obviously similar to All Might's fighting style.
During the Tournament arc, Battle Trial arc, the 2nd movie (the 2018 movie) and in multiple other occasions, Midoriya has done smashes with the same name and technique as All Might, but yet his classmates don't seem to catch on.

I'm just really curious as to why that is. Cause if All Might has done a smash with the same name and very similar effect (in terms of destructive power and technique), then Midoriya doing the exact same technique should make it obvious that there's a pretty deep connection I guess.

So why has no one else figured out?

texts: How come Mumei's pistols can kill Kabane?

texts:
In episode 5 of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri, the jet bullets are presented — freshly developed based on Ikoma's explosive-steam hybrid gun. However, Mumei has her steam-powered pistols from the beginning and is also able to kill Kabane with one shot.

Since the blades on her pistol are reinforced with Kabane "fabric" I assume someone else had similar ideas regarding the improvement of anti-Kabane weapons, and that this is the reason why Mumei's pistols are that strong, though I'd say using explosives to improve the gun force is still quite unusual idea for a steam powered world. But even if we say Ikoma wasn't the first one with these ideas, why isn't anybody else using this technology?


texts: Is the Hyuuga main family's juinjutsu a Swastika?

texts:
In Naruto, the Hyūga clan is divided into two houses: the main house and the branch house.
The main house members brand the branch house members with a Juinjutsu (Cursed mark), which has the objective of sealing away the Byakugan upon the death of the one branded. It also has the function of controlling the branch house members through the destruction of the wearer's brain cells, which can be activated by a hand seal only known by the main house members.

The seal looks like this:

Although the Hyūga Main Family's Juinjutsu was altered in the anime for its resemblance with a swastika (and the connotation with the Nazi regime), the manga version maintains its original design.

Quoting directly from Wikipedia:

  The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit swastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. The swastika literally means "to be good". Or another translation can be made: "swa" is "higher self", "asti" meaning "being", and "ka" as a suffix, so the translation can be interpreted as "being with higher self".

Both these translations would fit (at least according to my interpretation) the secondary purpose of the Juinjutsu:
- To be good: the secondary function of the Juinjutsu is to control the branch house members, which is to 'make them good' (at least to make them submit themselves to the main house members' will).
- Being with higher self: the Juinjutsu links the branch house members ('lower self') with the main house members ('higher self').

Are there any canon sources that state:
If this resemblance is purely coincidental? Or if the seal is really a swastika?


texts: Who is the woman seen in the grainy cutscenes?

texts:
Thoughout the game there are cutscenes of this woman talking with a grainy effect making it seem like it is a flashback, there are also a couple of scenes where a woman is standing in a field of grass and one of 2 people by the tree which can only be assumed is the same woman.

At first i though it was Weiss's wife (Felenne's sister) who died which drove Weiss to seek out Chaos and kill him, however these scenes also appear in another generations.

So unless Schwarz and Grey inherited Weiss's memories as well, who is this woman?

texts: I have heard rumors he only becomes a death scythe in the manga but it is still unclear. Has it just not happened yet in the anime?


texts: Does Sugar remember who she had turned into a toy?

texts:
Waiting and waiting for the next chapter to come out, I was thinking that if anything would go wrong, Doflamingo would have an easy way out of all of his problems. He could ask Sugar to turn him into a toy and nobody would even remember why they were fighting in the first place.

The world government would turn against the strawhats and everybody would go on with their every day lives. Now this plan would be perfect if Sugar would still remember about Doflamingo after he had been turned into a toy, so she could undo her magic when all threats had vanished and go into hiding or something for some time to let is all pass over.

So was any evidence shown as to whether Sugar remembers her victims or not?


texts: When does Scientific Railgun's Daihasei Festival events happen in Magical Index in the anime?

texts:
I watched Scientific Railgun season 3, where at the Daihasei Festival Misaka goes on a rampage after Gensei's actions and Sogiita and Touma stops her.
So far I have only watched Magical Index up until season 2 part 14, where there is the Daihasei Festival's events about the Roman Church trying to take over Academy City.
So far, when Touma appeared in Scientific Railgun, the same events were adapted in Magical Index.
This brings up the question: are these two festivals the same and it was only not adapted in Magical Index, or it is a future festival? If it is the latter, then when will it happen in Magical Index?


texts: What is this manga about a high school class that turns into a kingdom?

texts:
It starts with a group of high schoolers in a room being made into a kingdom, where each day a new king or queen is chosen, along with two nobles and the rest as commoners, the nobles and commoners have to obey all that the king or queen of the days demands, commoners also have to obey the nobles.

Does anyone know what this manga is?


texts: Why did Yuuto try to dodge Rokuro's attacks?

texts:
In episode 42, Yuuto said that he took the spell power of Kuranashi, the 12 Guardians, and Abe no Seimei. Then why would he try to dodge Rokuro's attacks?

In episode 41, Kuranashi didn't need to dodge the attacks of Tatara.
Then how come when Yuuto combined all that power with the Guardians and Abe no Seimei, he needed to dodge Rokuro's single attacks?


texts:

Flower petals in the air
Water effects (e.g the intro of The Garden of Words)

Water droplets in pond (00:17 and 1:35)

Sun reflecting off water

Time-lapse (e.g Your Name)

Are backgrounds done frame by frame? Or do they use something like AE?

texts: Why is it that some shikigami are like Wanzer from Front Mission?

texts:
In Tokyo Ravens, why is it that some of the shikigamis (especially those used by the Onmyou Agency) are looking like wanzer from Front Mission? What is it derived from? Is there any improvement in Onmyouji between the time of the Abe no Senmei and the current time in Tokyo Ravens that caused this? Is there any explanation for this anywhere in the novel or anime?

EDIT: The following link refers to the Shikigami I call "looking like wanzer". http://tokyo-ravens.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor


texts: I'm rewatching the Naruto Chuunin exams, and in the Crunchyroll subs in episode 40, when it's being explained by Zaku's arms blew out, the explanation mentions gun barrels. However, as per this answer, there are no guns in Naruto. I don't remember the Japanese word for gun or gun barrel, and my listening isn't good enough to tell what they're saying in this particular part. Is this simply a subtitling error, or do they actually use a gun analogy in this case? If they do use a gun analogy in the anime, do they use the same analogy in the Japanese manga--that is, do they canonically explain the result using a gun analogy despite the lack of guns in Naruto?


texts:
I'm on chapter 57 on Attack on Titan, and a "coordinate ability" keeps getting mentioned -- here by Hanji, but also earlier by either Bertholdt or Reiner (who apparently didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands). But what exactly is this coordinate ability?

I skipped a lot of the chapters up to 34 because they were just rehashings of the stuff in the anime, and I skimmed over a lot of the Survey Corps action in the woods, since it was getting too repetitious for me, so it's possible I might just have missed something.

Edit (taken from my comment in the answers): As an explanation to other readers, I was confused about this since at least in English, "coordinate" is pretty ambiguous without any further qualification. (It could be something geographical.) From the way Reiner and Bertholdt were talking about it, it sounded a bit like it could simply be a piece of crucial information that Eren might have in his lost memory.

Moreover, because of how Hanji was describing it merely as a "coordinate ability", it still wasn't clear to me.

texts: Which is Kraft Lawrence's familiar name, and which his surname?

texts:
Regarding the character of Kraft Lawrence from Spice and Wolf, I've often wondered whether Kraft was supposed to be his familiar name or his surname. Kraft sounds more like a surname to me, but Lawrence could be either. I'm aware that in Japan, the family name is given before the familiar name, but as the story is styled more as a European medieval fantasy, it isn't so clear to me what Isuna Hasekura intended. Characters such as Norah Arendt and Eve Boland seem to have their familiar names first. Unlike Lawrence, Norah and Eve are both more commonly referred to by their first names rather than their last. My confusion is further legitimized by the third volume of the Spice and Wolf manga. In the bonus manga at the end, set in Japan, Lawrence is introduced thusly:

  Young Master Lawrence of the House of Kraft.

This sidestory is obviously not canonical and not authoritative, but still serves to muddy the issue. So, is there any information that would definitively prove whether Kraft is Lawrence's familiar name or his surname?


texts: What powers does Araragi have after he was cured?

texts:
In the first episode of Bakmonogatari, Araragi revealed to Senjogahara that he was once a vampire and that he retained the regeneration ability after being cured.

In Episode 3 Mayoi Maimai - Part 1, Araragi is looking at Hachikuji after she comes back. His eyes go red and he says something about normally being able to read names at his current distance but with Hachikuji he can't. This leads him to ask Senjogahara about characters appearing in Hachikuji name.

I am wondering what powers Araragi still has after being cured of his vampirism?

texts: Looking for old anime with twin brothers fighting their evil wizard father

texts:
I am looking for an old anime that I found sometime ago but whose name I have forgotten. Keep in mind that I only saw the first episode but here are the details that I remember of the plot and parts of the first episode I saw.

The story takes place on a world (that may or may not be earth), more specifically on an island, where an evil wizard, along with other wizards, and his anthropomorphic-like animal servants rule over a primitive humanity enslaving them as they live in terror.

This evil wizard was searching for a worthy heir to replace him as a wizard and while ignoring his own wife, he began raiding nearby human villages for beautiful women who he then rapes to produce a son worthy of him.

The first episode begins when in a dark castle the most recent heir is fighting in a arena to prove himself worthy of joining the wizards demonstrating superhuman strength but no magic. When he won the evil wizard, his father, entered his mind and when the boy couldn't resist him having not enough magic to do so, the evil wizard killed him. The boy's trainer tried to protest this later in the wizard's chamber but he ended up angering the evil wizard and he turned the trainer into a talking wolf.

Later the evil wizard sent an army to raid yet another human village, over the disgusted protest of his wife, when to his surprise a young red headed woman stood up to the army. She offered herself to the wizard in exchange that her family and the rest of her village are left unharmed. The wizard keeps his bargain and the trainer, now a wolf, takes the girl to the wizard's castle where she is later raped by the evil wizard. After being taken to a cave outside the castle she gives birth to two red headed twins (I forget the names she gives them but one of them had slightly pointed ears). The wolf takes the pointed ear twin and delivers him to the castle and the mother keeps the other.

That's where the episode more or less ends but there is one other detail I remember that should help. During the episode the evil wizard's wife was begging the moon (the name of the deity that shares the name of the title of the anime) to cure her husband of his madness. The moon answered with visions of the two boys.

Also the anime was English dubbed with sub-English option.

I realize that with all this detail it shouldn't be difficult to find yet I have been unable to find it myself and I can't remember the name of it so if anyone knows what this anime is could you please tell me.

texts: An obscure movie featuring a mysterious amphibious monster

texts:
I remember very little detail of this movie that randomly aired on TV about a decade ago. Here is what I do remember:

Dark overtones reminiscent of future noir style. The animation, similarly, is reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell or Ergo Proxy. The story paces slowly as further details about the monster are given. It was possibly produced in the late '90s to early 2000s, a few years before I watched it.
The focus of the movie is a rather generic monster: it walks on all fours, is adept at swimming, has olive skin, and a large tail. Also, at some point, it is discovered that it's pregnant.
One of the main characters is a salty old detective who limps around. I think he has a cane which he hastily abandons in a chase scene (see next bullet).
There is a climactic point in which the detective is limping through a multilevel construction site whilst being pursued by the monster. There are large exosuits visible in the background (possibly used for construction).
In this same scene, the construction site undergoes some sort of emergency shutdown, during which the monster's large tail is cut off by a closing door.
I'm not certain but I believe the monster dies in the end.

I'm sorry I don't remember any more details.


texts: How were the Giant Hornets actually defeated?

texts:
In Shinsekai Yori (From the New World), the Robber Fly colony uses the Akki (Fiend) to disarm the Giant Hornet soldiers.

However, in the 18th episode of the anime, it is also revealed that the Giant Hornet soldiers were reduced to nothing but lumps of flesh.

How is that possible? I understand that the Akki is immune to the death feedback when considering humans, but the Akki couldn't have possibly done that to the Giant Hornets, the Akki could have at most disarmed the soldiers.

That being said, how did the Giant Hornets die? Or is this something that is lost in translation? (I was watching the Japanese version with English subtitles).

texts: Has the Naruto Anime deviated from the Manga

texts:
In anime that were adapted from a manga, if it follows the manga, it would either follow it faithfully (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood) or deviate from the manga's plot line (Oran High School Host Club, Original Fullmetal Alchemist). In my experience, anime deviations from manga normally occur because the manga is still ongoing and original filler is not enough.

Given how both the Naruto anime and manga are still ongoing, I am wondering if the anime of Naruto has deviated from the manga to the point where it could break continuity with the manga

For example, the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime breaks continuity:

   at Laboratory 5 or when we learn who Sloth and Wrath are


texts: Why golems and avatara in Mausoleum didn't attack lord Momon?

texts:
In chapter 12 lord Ains (Momon) tells Albedo to

I don't understand why they didn't attack lord Ains himself and how can this improve security.


texts: Why weren't the people underground affected by the nation-wide transmutation?

texts: In chapter 104 of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, we see people collapsing after the nationwide transmutation circle has been activated by Father. However, on page 8 or so of chapter 105, it seems that (at least some of) the people who were still in the tunnels underneath Central are still conscious before Hohenheim reverses the absorption of the souls of the country's citizens - Scar, Darius, Zampano, Jerso, and Hawkeye still seem "fine". Why is this the case?

texts: What is the block used to symbolize the end of a chapter called?

texts:
What do they call this bar? Is there official terminology for it?  Sometimes they add filler text to explain the predicament the heroes are in inside of it or surrounding it.   It also somewhat seems like a stamp to me.

Examples:

One Piece

Bleach

Toriko


texts:
So I was introduced to Tokyo Ghoul by watching the anime. I recently started reading the manga and was surprised when I saw this on the character profile on the back-lid of the front cover of Tokyo Ghoul volume 14 (the final volume before :re):

I know it is implied that Eto is Takatsuki Sen in the anime and manga, but I don't recall anywhere in the anime where it is revealed that Eto/Takatsuki Sen is the One-Eyed Owl. I also don't think I recall reading in the manga that this was the case (until I saw this image).

Did I miss something? Is Eto/Takatsuki Sen the One-Eyed Owl?

Is this possible?


texts:
When they first introduced her, they called her Yukiko Abe, but then the next few chapters that I read were translated by a different translator, and they translated her name to "Yukiyo Abe". However, Wikia says that the kanji for her name is 由紀子, which would be read as "Yukiko".

So which is it? Yukiyo or Yukiko?


texts: Can Capacity Down disrupt Accelerator's esper powers?

texts:
Capacity Down is a device that produces a sound that can disrupt an esper. It was used in the anime series against Kongou Mitsuko, Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko etc.

My question is, does this device work against Accelerator, whose power can deflect any vectors who reachs him, and being sound waves used by the device also vectors?


texts:
During Fishman arc, it was told that there used to be three weapons – Pluton, Uranus, and Poseidon.

texts:
In Love Live, a character named Nico Yazawa constantly says her catchphrase:

It seems like if her catchphrase is derived from her own name, at the first glance.  Sometimes, it is extended to a longer line, as she would say, for example:

  Nico-nico-nii~  Anata-no haato-ni Nico-nico-nii~ Egao todokeru Yazawa Nico-nico~ Nico-nii te-oboete, Love - Nico ♡

What does "nico nico nii" mean, exactly?


texts: What does the 1412 in Magic Kaito 1412 means?

texts: The title of the show is Magic Kaito 1412. It is based on a character from Detective Conan, Kaito Kid. In Detective Conan he is called Kaito Kid, Phantom Thief, but no 1412. If it is read in Japanese it would be Ichi Yon Ichi Ni (One Four One Two) or Sen Yon Hyaku Juu Ni (One Thousand Four Hundred Twelve). The real name of the first Kaito Kid is Kuroba Touichi. The current Kaito Kid is Kuroba Kaito, doesn't sounds like 1412 at all. So, what is this 1412 means?

texts:
I was enjoying my lunch over the 8th episode of YuriYuri and right at the beginning there was this unusual calendar:

Truth be told, this is the first time I see a calendar like that. As you can see, it consists of 3 parts which seem to be made of wood. The lower part says "April", so I assume it is removable so that the cubes above it can rotate, and that there are 11 more like it somewhere else in store.

Now the tricky part is the numbers. The 2 blocks on top are set up to read "01" which is for April the 1st. But the top side of the block that reads 0 in front, has a 6 on it. What's going on? And there are only 4 sides that can be rotated with their front sides for each digit to form a number of a day of the month. Is this an animation mistake? If not, how can this calendar thingie work?

Also, is it even possible to make them read all numbers from 01 to 31?

I forgot to mention that there is one style, the Crystal Release, whose origins are unclear to me. It may be the response to the question, but I've got no proof or source to claim it.

From what I know, E.N.D is the most powerful demon created by Zeref.
Zeref tells Natsu to choose between life and death. He's practically telling him that he'll have to decide if he wants to live or if he's going to kill himself for the sake of the other’s. He'll want to die instead of hurting his friends.

Zeref said that Igneel wanted to kill E.N.D but couldn't.

texts: Which Melty Blood games are relevant, plotwise?

texts:
Shingetsutan Tsukihime is a pretty expansive work - a main visual novel, the Kagetsu Tohya supplement, and the Melty Blood games. The last bit, Melty Blood, is especially jarring to a Type-Moon fan who is late to the party - there are many versions, and the format itself is very different from what is normal for Nasu works: a fighting game.

What are the different versions, and how do they differ? What should be played and what skipped, and in what order, if one is playing for the story aspect?


texts: What is the text before the OP in Date a Live episode 9 talking about?

texts:
Before the openings in Date A Live, the narrator reads some epic-sounding text which is somewhat related to the content of the episode. In most cases it's been easy to understand, but the text from episode 9 is ambiguous. Here's the translation from Funimation's stream of the episode, this dialogue starts at 1:30:

  "It" is something all things are given.

  "It" can not be bought.

  People often waste "it,"

  hold "it" dear,

  and chase after "it."

  What... is "it"?

What is this "it" that she is talking about, and what does it have to do with the plot of the series?


texts: Anime about a boy getting chased through a school?

texts:
This is what I do remember about it:

I saw it either in 2013/2014 on either Anime Network or Funimation Channel.

It was a free preview episode.

I remember the main character was a guy, and he was fighting/running his way through a corridor that I think was part of a school/academy.

The building was brick or stone I think.

I'm not sure, but he may have been pulled to the school from another world/dimension.
The guy was being chased by different groups of people, and they were all trying to fight him, but I can't remember if they had magic or just weapons.
I'm pretty sure most of the characters were male.
I remember there was a tall, strong man type guy in one group.
The main character runs into a pretty boy type in an outside garden area.
For some reason, all of the characters had to fight each other or had to fight the main character.
The people chasing the main character were in groups of 3 or 4.

I don't remember much about the plot, only what I saw.  Any help would be appreciated. ^-^

texts: Why did Naruto and Sasuke hit Tobi with Rasenshuriken directly?

texts:
When Naruto first mastered Rasenshuriken and used it against Kakuzu, his arm was also injured due to multiple wind blades that also damage the user and had to recover for a while.

But in a recent chapter, combined with Sasuke's Amaterasu, both of them were holding the Rasenshuriken and they hit Tobi without throwing it. So how come it seems like they did not take any damage when they hit Tobi without throwing it?


texts: Why is the series "Trigun" titled as such?

texts:
I recently learned of the series Trigun and, though I haven't started watching it yet, it seems quite interesting.

However, I'm curious about its title. "Tri-" seems to indicate "three", so I'd say the title meant either "three guns", or "gun with three parts" (like three barrels). However, I've only managed to find images of the main character holding one gun, or occasionally two, and nothing sticks out about them having three of anything.

Without spoiling too much of the plot's sensitive points, can someone explain why the series is called Trigun?

texts: Why are light-haired male love interests common?

texts: It is relatively common for series (especially shoujo) for the/a love interest to be blond. This appears in Ouran High School Host Club, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama, Tokyo Mew Mew, and a number of others. Why is this common in Japan, where the population is 98.5% ethnically Japanese--and as such naturally dark-haired--and most of the rest of the population is either Chinese or Korean?


texts: Why are Asura and Indra of Hindu mythology represented opposite in Naruto?

texts:
In Hindu mythology, Asura are the bad beings. Asuras always try to steal the place of Devas because they didn't get it. Indra is a king of Devas/Suras.

So in short Indra (Deva) is depicted as good being in Hindu mythology and Asura as bad beings and Naruto is inspired from Hinduism/Buddhism, so why is the adaptation of Indra and Asura made opposite to their real self? Have the makers explained it ever?


texts: Is there a site which has lists of anime/manga/novels and has up-to-date information on release dates?

texts:
I was watching Bodacious Space Pirates and finished it last night. I know there is a movie coming out in 2014 but it feels as if the anime was an adaptation of something.

I searched Anime News Network and it only has the anime and upcoming movie. I looked up on wikipedia and found the anime was an adaptation of the light novel series Miniskirt Space Pirates (ミニスカ宇宙海賊(パイレーツ) Minisuka Pairētsu). However it doesn't list the volumes that have been released or if any has been released in English, the same with the manga.

I am wondering if there is a site which has more complete information than Anime News Network or Wikipedia.

Recently my partner has grown very fond of Anime/Manga of all sorts. She has several applications on her iPhone allowing her to view manga. I would like to know what you all believe the best method is, to perform:

Buy Manga sets in an electronic form, such as Naruto Season 1;
Have an application (iPhone and Windows preferably) to allow us to categorise the manga; e.g. By Rating, Type, Language etc. ;
Allow transfer of library between platforms so that we can read on Windows and iPhone

Here is an example:

I buy Naruto, Season 1 in electronic format and download it to PC as *.mobi, *.pdf
I then edit fields such as category, author, rating, etc.
I then sync with my iPhone using App_X

Now I understand that there are plenty of online sites where you can read Manga, but I want to be able to own the manga titles and be able to access them offline, on the road etc.

I had a look for Book Crawler for iOS which seems like a wonderful application for book management in the sense of "what have I read and what did I rate:, but not for what I need.

Viz seems like my best option to own the Manga. I am not entirely sure if there are any cheaper alternatives on the market. If I buy via their application then it appears that I am locked onto an iPhone to read the manga. Fair enough, she never uses a computer however I'd like to be able to edit it.

I've used applications like Calibre to edit and tag my books before on Android..so I was hoping for some integration with iPhone to PC.
