texts: Was Mephisto aware that Yukio had Satan's blood in him after all?

texts:
On Episode 6 of Ao no Exorcist, at around 21:30, Principal Mephisto Pheles tells his younger brother, Amaimon, to pass on a message to their other siblings. If the subs were right, it says: "...tell our siblings who are going mad with envy that our youngest brother is being raised under my wing".

On episode 23 however, Yukio offers his own Satanic blood to open the Gehenna gate, and at around 2:40 we can see Mephisto and Amaimon observing the chaos unfolding from above. Being the younger twin, Yukio is technically their youngest brother with their blood - in contrast with their conversation from episode 6. They do not seem shocked by the news that Yukio possesses Satan's blood after all, or they cleverly hid their reaction.

I am asking for clarification, preferably from manga readers: Was Mephisto was really aware of his erroneous statement and was it all really part of his plan or is this merely a (gasp!) narrative plothole of the anime?


texts: In Attack on Titan, why does Zeke tell Eren that someday he will save him?

texts:
Please note, there are massive spoilers within this question so I've hidden them. If you haven't read at least Chapter 83, and later in this question 94, this question will spoil the events that occur in 83-94.

In Volume 21, Chapter 83, Pages 14-19 of the Attack on Titan manga

  Zeke meets Eren for the first time, their conversation is cut short but as he turns to leave, he addresses Eren and says the following:

I have been trying to understand what Zeke means by this statement. So far, what I've gathered is that

  Zeke and Eren share the same biological father but Zeke refers to their father as strictly Eren's father. Zeke believes that "Eren's father" brainwashed the two of them and Zeke made it clear that he understood what Eren was currently going through.

However, given that

  anyone fighting in the Eldia vs Marley conflict seems to have a very biased view of historical events,

I can't tell the extent of the truth in Zeke's statements. Later in Chapter 94, Zeke makes some statements about

  the value of titans when human technology was about to, or already is, surpassing them. And he expressed his concern for the survival of Eldians should they no longer be useful to the world.

So, how is it that Zeke thinks he is going to someday save Eren if

  Zeke is working for the one nation that seems most interested in getting rid of the titans should they prove to have little or no military value?

Is the statement Zeke makes to Eren in Chapter 83, page 19 referring to something less obvious than what is mentioned on pages 14-18?


texts:
I'm quite interested in Zoro's personality, especially when he boasts to others about his powers. Can someone list out all or some of Zoro's lines so far in the manga?
I can only remember two:

In Dressrosa arc:

 During his fight with Pica, he said "Only if your Haki is stronger than mine".

In Punk Hazard arc:

 When he and Tashigi are fighting with Monet, I can't remember exactly.

texts: Is watching the first 2 seasons of the anime enough to understand "Tokyo Ghoul:re" manga without reading prior manga?

texts:
I've watched Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul Root A, but I didn't read the manga.

Is watching the them enough to understand Tokyo Ghoul:re manga without reading prior manga?


texts: What are familiars, their significance and abilities?

texts:
Nana Genie is Cecil's familiar.

There are other familiars that can be seen on the series, though we don't find out all of their names.
Though Wizard Barrister's wiki does not elaborate on what familiars are exactly, and what their abilities are, Wikipedia's page on Wizard Barristers links familiars directly to this page, which explains familiars as:

  In European folklore and folk-belief of the Medieval and Early Modern periods, familiar spirits (sometimes referred to simply as "familiars" or "animal guides") were supernatural entities believed to assist witches and cunning folk in their practice of magic.

However, the page does not seem to refer familiars in an Eastern context. So I was wondering if they are to be taken as they are in Western culture, or if they are an interpretation of this.

Further down the page, there is another definition:

  A familiar spirit (alter ego, doppelgänger, personal demon, personal totem, spirit companion) is the double, the alter-ego, of an individual. It does not look like the individual concerned. Even though it may have an independent life of its own, it remains closely linked to the individual. The familiar spirit can be an animal (animal companion).

By this definition, does this mean that Cecil has a perverted side to her, that is expressed through Nana Genie?

They must be able to perform magic, as Magic Prohibition Law article 8 states that:

  Article 8: If a familiar breaks the law, the owner is held responsible.

However, going back to Wikipedia's page, it does not explain what are their abilities (if they have any).

So basically, and as the title says:
What exactly are familiars? (Are they to be considered exactly as Western Medieval Folklore interprets them?)
What is their significance (in relation to their 'owners')?
And what abilities to they possess?


texts: What exactly is happening during the opening titles of “Crusher Joe: The Movie” (1983)

texts:
What exactly is happening during the opening titles of Crusher Joe: The Movie (1983)?

I am not talking about the pre-credits chase, but rather the action that happens right during the opening credits where the Crushers seem to be swooping in on an asteroid/starbase combo, burst through some airlocks and then send—what appears to be—a malfunctioning/failing part of the asteroid into space where it explodes.

Based on what is shown, I am assume that the thing exploding was some reactor connected to the starbase, but I am not clear about the action past what we see on screen. Was this an event straight out of one of the original Haruka Takachiho’s novels?

Screenshot below of the scene in question with the Crusher ships—Minerva and those other ships Alvin and Crusher Joe pilot—flying towards the hunk of rock in space.


texts: Why does Feitan torture when Pakunoda can search someone's memory?

texts:
In the Phantom Troupe, they have Feitan, who's the torturer to get answers out of people. But they also have Pakunoda, who can get memories out of people by just touching them.

For example in the York New arc, Feitan tortures someone to get information on where the treasure and stuff were. But why couldn't Pakunoda just get that information out by searching through his memories? It would be a lot faster.


texts:
I remember that Aizen kidnapped Orihime but I don't remember if it was explained well why this happened. I have several hypothesis but not sure if they are true:

Was it that the Hogyoku didn't work until Orihime cured it some how? Was there such a scene in Bleach that gives evidence to this? Why wouldn't the Hohyoku work? Wasn't Aizen already giving more power to his hollows even before Orihime?
Is that why Aizen needed her or was it something else? To Maybe torture her to distract the Shinigami and Ichigo? But it seems that at this point he didn't really thought Ichigo mattered so it doesn't seem convincing.
Or did he use her to heal his Espadas?
Or did he do that to lure the Shinigami and trap them to Hueco Mundo?

Is there maybe another reason? Or are there multiple reasons combined? Aizen was smart so I am sure he had a reason to kidnap Orihime.


texts: In Madoka Magica, are the girls' powers related to their wishes?

texts:
Some of the Puella Magi seem to have magical powers related to the wishes that they made. Sayaka has regeneration abilities, and she wished to heal someone. Homura has time manipulation abilities, and she wished to go back in time.

But other magical girls, like Mami and Kyouko, don't appear to have powers related to their respective wishes.

So, is there a connection, or is it only a coincidence for Sayaka and Homura? If it's the former, how do Mami and Kouko's wishes relate to their powers?


texts: Why didn't Nero tell the Black Bulls (or anyone) about the devil, elves, Licht, and the first Wizard King?

texts: We all know that Nero can't use magic, but she can speak. She could have easily told the story to Asta and the others about what happened. She could have easily told the truth to the current Wizard King, who could have easily found out everything, or maybe even turn back the first Wizard King and Nero to human form.


texts: How did the shipwright Tom get the blueprints to the Pluton?

texts: In the anime Tom is the best shipwright there is, but how did he get the blue prints to the Pluton. Did he write them himself, and if so how did he get the information needed to do so?


texts: Is Academy City really an educational city? What is its purpose?

texts:
Academy City seems like a really weird city to me. At first I thought it was some super advanced city that was created with the sole purpose of filling it out with educational institutions for science and research, but a lot of things don't seem to make sense.

I watched the first season and it seemed really weird that the government was supporting the experiments for a level 6 esper. Something like that sounds like something the military would want. Why in Academy City?

Another thing that seems kind of weird is the Enforcement body "Judgment". Why is there such an enforcing body with such high level espers? Doesn't that imply that such weird and dangerous things are normal in Academy City?


texts: Motorcycle information? Ryoko Hakubi I think,

texts:
So I printed off this picture probably almost a decade ago, can't remember where I found it and can't find it again. My question is this: I'm interested in the bike, does it actually exist, or is it fan art? If it does exist, can you tell me what episode or issue is from?

I think it's Ryoko Hakubi from Tenchi Muyo, but I know nothing about that series. Thanks in advance!


texts: What BGM is playing in Iron-Blooded Orphans season 2 episode 16&23?

texts:
In Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Episode 41 (or Season 2 Episode 16) - "Natural for a Human", there is an insert song/BGM playing at 20:22, but the main theme of the song starts around 22:57.
The same song plays in Season 2 Episode 23, starting at 19:02 until 19:57.
What is this song?


texts: How many days pass during the first part of Konosuba episode 4?

texts:
The first half of Konosuba episode 4 shows a montage of Kazuma and Megumin training, leading us to believe it went on for a long time.  Long enough for the seasons to change several times.

It seems to me that it wouldn't take too many for the event that happens halfway through the episode to happen, so I don't think it was a year like was implied with the changing of the seasons during the montage.

How many days has it been?


texts: How realistic is Totsuki Culinary Academy?

texts: In the show it's classed as an elite international culinary school, but given the graduation rate (less than 10%) and the idea of study behind it, is it realistic? Is there a real life equivalent?


texts: How does the Tetsujin 28 movie fit into the series?

texts:
I'm referring specifically to the 2004 Tetsujin 28 spin-off and the accompanying 2007 movie Tetsujin 28: Morning Moon of Mid-day. You'd think that the movie must be early in the TV series because of the characters:

   Ryuusaku Murasame is still alive in the movie

but at the end of the movie

   Chief Chloroform was killed, when he was seen in the TV series well after Ryuusaku was killed

Also the whole thing with Shotaro's "brother" doesn't even come up at all in the TV series.

Are the movie and TV series different continuities (though the description has them both adapted from the same Manga by Yokoyama Mitsuteru)? Or do they somehow fit together?


texts: What is the "secret of this world" that the mysterious letters to Rin refer to?

Who is sending these letters?

What is the "secret" these letters are referring to?


texts: What is the reading order for Kawaraya A-ta's Asuka and Rei (and sometimes Mari) H-Doujinshi?

texts:
There is an artist called Kawaraya A-ta who's done a bunch of H-Doujinshi featuring Asuka and Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion as Futanari. the ones I have read (as in fan translated) are:

Lovey Dovey
Sin-Lovey Dovey
Pokapoka Onedari Onsen
Oomisoka
Summer Memories
Wokurimono
Kashidashuchuu
Please Punish Me!
Princess and the Slave
Spirit of Flower (Chapter 15 of Hana - Maki no)
Flowers Breaking Through My Soul (Chapter 18 pf Hana - Maki no)
Welcome Home
Welcome Home 2

Well the Doujinshi get messy with all the bodily fluids I did enjoy the story behind them, particularly how in Lovey Dovey Asuka looses her memories yet Rei stays with her and Asuka proposes to Rei but when Asuka regains her memories and acts all Tsundere again she accepts Rei's proposal while in another one when Mari is living with them she seduces and has intercourse with Rei while on the phone with Asuka as a means to get her to admit that she actually loves Rei (as opposed to saying that Rei is just her Pet)

However while titles like Lovey Dovey and Welcome Home make it easy to work out when to read them the others I don't know when they are place as the site I read them on doesn't list publication year and at some point in them Mari turns up and while after this you would expect that Asuka wouldn't be acting all "I am your Master, do as I say" I'm not sure at what point in them this occurs as Asuka doesn't always play the Pet's Master card she is intimate with Rei even before the ones featuring Mari was uploaded.

I would like to know what is the reading order for Kawaraya A-ta's Asuka and Rei H-Doujinshi?


texts: I've just read the newest Detective Conan comic online. There's a case when Yumi calls Shukichi and Sera call her brother at the same time. When Yumi talks to Shukichi, Shukichi holds their conversation because someone else is calling at the same time. Sera calls her brother but Sera's Brother also stops their conversation because he is in an important call with someone. So, does that mean Sera's Brother is Shukichi Haneda?


texts: Can Pokémon say only what their species is named as, or are they named with the only word they can say?

texts:
This question has been quite bothersome. As mentioned in the title, how exactly does it work? Do Pokemon get their species names from the only thing they're able to say? Or do they say (and repeat) whatever species name they're given?

(I think it's the former reason. But I haven't found any factual description that proves it. So I'm looking for answers supported by facts considered cannon.)


texts: Why does Shizuku's room become larger in "Whisper of the Heart"?

texts:
At some point during "Whisper of the Heart", Shizuku falls asleep at her desk while working on her story. She has a fantastic dream involving Baron and, when she wakes up, her room is larger. While her bed was right next to the desk before, there's now space for a whole window between them.
I believe this represents her personal space becoming larger with her sister moving out, but I'm not sure if there is something else I missed.

texts:
In Trinity Universe a number of characters from games developed by Gust and Nippoin Ichi Software (NIS) are featured in it. some are obvious but i am wondering which characters belong to which developers and which may be original characters.

Bellow is a List of characters:

Demon God (Dog) King Kanata
Fox Spirit Tsubaki
Suzaku
Dark Hero Lucius
Valkarie Rizelea
Mizuki
Violet
Pamala
Macaroon
Miyu
Recit
Pirate Queen Etna
Prinny (and in cutscenes, the Prinny Squad)
Flonne (Fallen Angel)

NOTE: i have tagged atelier and disgaea because i am assuming the characters would originate from these series

texts: Can someone explain the story of Space Battleship Yamato 2199?

texts:
I understand that Yurisha was sent to earth to deliver the construction plans for the wave motion engine and also Sasha to give them the wave motion power core but why did they do it separately? I mean Yurisha also could have delivered the plans together with the core...

The Gamilas empire expands and exterminates many other planets not only the earth.
So why would Starsha want to help humanity? Moreover she and her 2 sisters are the only 3 remaining of her species. Also what would happen if the earth gets restored? The Gamilas just would have continued their attacks and bombs. If the Yamato didn't save the capital of Gamilas and killed their leader the earth would be still attacked sooner or later by the empire. But Starsha couldn't know that this would happen so her plan to help the humans and risk the lives of her sisters doesn't make much sense to me.


texts: What is the name of the song that is played during Frieza's regeneration in Dragon Ball Z : Resurrection F?

texts:
I saw Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F today in the theatre, and right around the point where Frieza is put in the regeneration machine, a song starts playing. I would categorize the song in the heavy metal genre, and I heard Frieza's name several times in the lyrics as well.

I would like to know the name of this song and the band who played it, as it sounded pretty awesome, but I didn't have enough time to stick around for the credits to see who it was.

Can anyone tell me where she is from? It's been driving me nuts for days! it would be much appreciated.


texts: Why did Midoriya come last in the quirk assessment test when there were others worse than him?

texts:
In season 1 episode 3, Midoriya is said to be placed last when compared to all other 20 candidates. Although I agree with him losing to most, I fail to identify how he could lose to a few of the candidates like Hagakure (the invisible girl).

I mean, which activity could she have done better than Midoriya considering that Midoriya had even trained for 10 months and that her quirk doesn't give her any apparent advantage in this test?


texts: What's the song that plays when Sasuke and Kakashi arrive at round 3 of the Chunin Exams?

texts: What's the song that plays when Sasuke and Kakashi arrive at round 3 of the Chunin Exams (when they replay it in Shippuden episode 258, at 19:18)  I don't think this is the only time it plays but it's the first example I could think of.

texts: Why didn't the First and Second Hokage's fight with full power against the Third?

texts:
When revived by Orochimaru, the First and Second were sent to fight the Third, however, we know today that:

   The First beat one of the most powerful ninjas in history (me), could heal himself without activating any special jutsu, could summon a freaking chakra sucking tree dragon.

Moreover!

   The Second had known (invented!!) Edo Tensei (meaning he could have broken free of Orochimaru's control), he also knew space-time ninjutsu.

With those abilities, plus immortality, they couldn't have possibly lost against the Third at their full power.

So in that case, why didn't they use their full power against the Third? Their emotions should have been completely erased, and made into a strict killing machine, and nothing more.

texts: Other than her being a bastard child, was any reason given as to why Historia's mother hated her and disowned her?


texts: Why is pornographic anime and manga referred to as "hentai" by non-Japanese sources? And when did it start?

texts:
If you try to google "hentai definition" most result would define hentai as a Japanese genres of manga and anime with sexually explicit images and plots. But Wikipedia explains it otherwise:

In Japanese, the term describes any type of perverse or bizarre sexual desire or act; it does not represent a genre of work.
Internationally, hentai is a catch-all term to describe a genre of anime and manga pornography.

And from this question we know that the word hentai never means anime porn in Japan.

No, hentai is a typical "英製和語" that has gained a totally different meaning outside of Japan. It never means anime porn in Japan.

From that question, OP mentioned that it was originated from 4chan, but from some comment on that question, the word it self was already in use for Japanese animation porn long before 4chan.
So how come non-Japanese refer to anime and manga pornography as hentai? And when did it start?

Would I need to draw/write a manga before I turn it into an anime, or I could just write and publish the book then make it an anime?


texts: Why so many anime these days end prematurely?

texts:
I'm not sure why there is a 12-13 episode trend going on, I've watched plenty of good anime especially this season, they just end prematurely. 12-13 episodes don't really feel like a season, more like half a season. and almost all of them had no issues with source material

(ironically some anime that I watched that lacked LN or WN and were based on video games or visual novels had more episodes 24-50)

types of anime I came across:

has source material, WN, LN, even Manga, for some reason instead of just increasing the anime episodes, tries to fit as much as possible into those 12 episodes, ends up with a mess i.e. arifureta shokugyou de sekai
has source material, for some reason, instead of beneficially using those 12-13 episodes, chooses to progress the story very slowly and throw in some fillers, which leaves the anime ending prematurely

(I have to explain this a bit further, series like overlord season 2, maou sama retry, opm season 2, death march, they end so prematurely that's it's very unfulfilling for the audience, the problem is the fact that most of these shows are not going to be one piece nor are they consistence, they go on 1-2 year break, then they might not even get picked up later. we've seen it happen with some other successful animes in the past 2013-2014)

texts: What's up with people's regeneration in One Piece?

texts:
So, pretty clear question I think. I am asking this because everyone seems to regenerate super fast. Is this just because this is a different world and so people heal differently, ie. much faster? Because that's a bit too crazy for me to accept.

Like, for example, in Alabasta, when Usopp was fighting the mole woman and the bat guy, he supposedly got so many of his bones broken. But I am pretty sure he was running around like 30 minutes later lol. Like, come on. I can accept Zoro getting his chest cut and still being able to fight a man on a unicycle, but Usopp's case is too crazy. I am sure there are other examples of this happening I can find if necessary.

So, what's up with people's regeneration in One Piece?
I don't remember it ever being explained in any way.

texts: Why do many anime not follow the manga? Why are they usually made shorter?

texts: Many anime do not follow the manga history and are made shorter. However there are a few that do follow it or try to finish the history with the manga like the big three (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece), Death Note, and FMA Brotherhood. But others finish the anime without the real ending like FMA, Ouran High School, Pandora Hearts, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Why is this so? Is it because of the high cost? Or the lack of popularity?


texts:
Why did Shisui sacrifice himself? More importantly, why did he crush his eyes?

texts: What did Light write before killing Shibuimaru Takuo?

texts:
So I decided to rewatch Death Note. In the first episode, there's a motorcyclist called Shibuimaru Takuo - Light's second victim. In the scene where he is about to kill him, according to my subtitles, he writes:

  Shibuimaru Takuo: car accident

And we see this:

I don't know Japanese, but it seems to me that all the lines are the same, except for the two last ones.

Since that guy is just his second victim, what exactly happened in that scene? What do these lines say, and why did Light several of them, over and over?

texts: Looking for alternative version of Soredemo Sara ni Mukou e

texts:
From many months now i'm looking for a specific version of the OST "Soredemo Sara ni Mukou e" from the anime "My hero academia". (or "Nevertheless go beyond" in english)

One can hear the latter music starting in season 2 episode 7 when Izuku sees all the formers owners of one for all and manages to get out of the power of Hitoshi Shinso.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't released as it's just the same ost but with different intro, but if someone knows where i can find it, i would be very grateful.

Thanks !

Edit : even if the video heads to an edited version of the fight where the music i'm talking about is cut, you can hear most of the ost i would find.

texts:
In Episodes 7, 8 and 9 of Maria-sama ga Miteru (Maria Watches Over Us), they are set around Valentines Day. it's stated that at around this time Rosa Chinensis (Yōko Mizuno), Rosa Gigantea (Sei Satō) and Rosa Foetida (Eriko Torii) took their final exams and were waiting on their university selections which Sei got hers first and got her first choice and their graduations approching.

In Episodes 10 and 11 the events are set during Christmas where Sei's and Shiori Kubo relationship is revealed. in one scene Sei's and her petite sœur Shimako Tōdō are talking about Christmas and Sei makes reference to the upcoming exams.

When i saw the preview for Episode 12 it seems to carry on from the last part of Episode 9  with Yumi Fukuzawa and Sachiko Ogasawara are going on their date they had planned after Valentines Day.

I am wondering, what exactly is the timeline?

texts: Do I have to read the entire manga series of Magi, or can I start reading where the anime left off?

texts:
I watched both series of Magi (The Labyrinth of Magic & The Kingdom of Magic) and am eager to see how the series carries out. I found the manga and want to start reading it from where the anime left off, but I know that sometimes the anime leaves things out.

If I start reading the manga from where the anime left off, will I miss anything?


texts: Does this manga mentioned in Outbreak Company actually exist?

texts:
The show makes many references to existing works, so I'm hoping it's also the case here.  It's mentioned in Episode 2, around 21:30 mark.  I grabbed two relevant screenshots.

The audio is as follows:
"That manga...  It's about a slave girl who's taken in as the Overlord's daughter and falls in love with him... She faces hardship after hardship, and when she and the Overlord finally come to understand each other..."

From the last episode (Season 4, Episode 76) we know what Eri's quirk is. Rewinding. If she is able te rewind a something to a earlier time, wouldn't she be able to restore Lemillion's body to the way he was before he got shot by the bullet from Chiasaki?
This way Lemillio should be able to regain his quirk?

P.S. i dont think this would work on All Might because he passed his quirk (One For All) on to Deku.

In the anime Sword Art Online, the floors from 76-100 have been untouched since Kirito beat Kayaba, but before Kirito does so, Kayaba Akihiko said, "I was meant to be the final boss at the 100th floor."

Now that there is a New Aincrad built in Alfheim Online.

Is it possible that Kayaba Akihiko is waiting on the 100th floor for a rematch? Or could the end boss just be another random boss for them to fight?

texts: Can we roughly determine the dates and duration of Otonashi's stay in the Afterlife World?

texts:
In Otonashi's flashback in episode 9, he was on his way to take the National Center Test for University Admissions, held annually during a weekend in mid-January over a period of two days, when the train he boarded crashed. He took out his mobile phone to check the time and then realized that he was late for the test. Thus, we can conclude that January 15 was a Sunday and Otonashi left the real world on January 21 (Day 7).

Despite being a school-themed anime, there seemed to be little indication of time and the seasons in the Afterlife World when compared to the real world in the flashback episode, where we knew the exact dates (and even the days) of the incidents that were happening. Can we tell the date (or the time of the year) each episode occurred on from the activities the students were doing (or any other hint)? And can we possibly determine the duration of Otonashi's stay in the Afterlife World up till the last episode?


texts:
During the beginning arc of Boruto, Sumire tries to carry on the will of her father by trying to destroy Konoha with Nue, She used the "cute scary" beast to feed on people's chakra and negative emotions, but was later on discovered by Boruto and his friends. After Boruto defeated Nue and escaped from "Nue's dimension", we see the summoning mark vanish, and I initially thought Nue died but apparently he didn't.

My questions are as follows: how was nue able to survive?

how does the mark reappear on Sumire's hand if Nue technically died? Also, Does Nue have size limitation due to the decrease in the summoning mark?


texts: What was Kurisu going to say to Okabe in the first episode?

texts:
I finished the anime and I still wonder what Kurisu said to Okabe in the first episode.

She pulls Okabe out of the conferance and says "Back there, you were going to tell me something, weren't you?" and Okabe responds "Back there?". Kurisu says "About fifteen minutes ago" and Okabe says "I don't have the slightest idea".

I guess it has (spoiler for the end of the anime)

   something to do with time travel and world line travel in episode 23 and 24 but unfortunately I didn't watch those episodes that carefully.

However, what did Okabe intend to say to Kurisu, and where, and when?


texts: What are the relations between the level of power and abilities and the promotion of Pawn?

texts:
In chess, pawn can promote to any other chess piece except King and get all the corresponding abilities and power. Similarly, in High School DxD, when Pawn promotes, their power level increases and they get other abilities also. For example, when Issei got a direct hit from Yubelluna's attack, he was protected by the Queen Protection abilities.

Let's take Issei's promotion to Queen (Akeno) as an example.

Are the abilities and the increase in power level the same for all the Pawns regardless of the power and abilities of the actual Queen (Akeno), or do they depend on that of the Queen?

And if Issei is King of his pieces and promotes himself to Queen, gaining abilities and power from both King and Queen pieces, will he be more powerful than Akeno?


texts: Does the theme song "Inochi no Namae" have any meaningful connection to the story of "Spirited Away"?

texts:
The theme song いのちの名前 (Inochi no Namae) is the lyricized version of あの日の川へ (Ano Hi no Kawa e), but it was never sung during the film, and therefore it is only included in Kimura Yumi's first single and later in the Spirited Away Memorial Box.

Does it have any meaningful connection to the story of Spirited Away?

The Name of Life

Lyrics: Kaku Wakako / Music: Hisaishi Joe
Vocals: Kimura Yumi

The whiteness of the clouds left behind by a plane
Draw a line across the blue sky
Always, no matter to where, always continuing
As if it knew tomorrow

In my chest I breathed in a shallow breath
I remember the breeze that blew on my hot cheek

The hands and feet which are bound before the future
Are freed by a quiet voice
So nostalgic that I want to scream out, is
One life, the midsummer light
At your shoulder, swaying, the sunbeams streaming through the leaves

The white ball at rest
The petals which have been scattered by the wind
The invisible river which carries both
Singing while flowing on

Secrets and lies and joy
Are the children of the gods who created this universe

* The heart which is bound before the future
Someday, will remember its name
So loved that I want to scream out, is
One life, the place to return to
At my fingertips, the summer day which doesn't disappear

* Repeat

Translated by satoru-13


texts: In Monster anime, what made Johan so special?

texts:
Why was everyone who knew Johan, so convinced that he was a superior figure or someone special, especially from the time that he was a kid?

The show gave a lot of instances where everyone who knew Johan, was rather impressed by him and regarded him as a kind of leader never seen before. In fact, many, like Baby, wanted him to become the next Hitler.

But what was so special about him?  Did the show really give any reasoning behind this?


texts: In season 2, how did Koichi manage to obtain Aoi Tsunemori's ear?

texts:
Note: The whole post is a spoiler.

How did Koichi come to be in possession of Aoi Tsunemori's ear?

In Episode 9 of Psycho-Pass 2, Koichi Kuwashima gave a present to Akane Tsunemori before turning himself over to MWPSB. That present was revealed to hold Aoi Tsunemori's ear.

Given the circumstances, I assumed that Koichi or Kirito Kamui and company abducted Akane's grandmother, but given Akane's reaction I suppose Aoi wasn't killed up until that time.

However, earlier in the same episode  Sakuya Togane ordered Mika Shimotsuki to determine the whereabouts of Akane's grandmother. Also, in the scene next to Akane's reaction after seeing Aoi's ear, the expressions on Togane's face implied (as I saw fit) that he was involved in that brutal act.

In the last episode, Togane had revealed that he was the one behind the brutal killing of Aoi, whose body was found in Warehouse district (not sure whether it is the same district where she was living; an earlier episode revealed that she was living in a  nursing home with considerable drones guarding the place).

All of this doesn't seem to add up to a coherent plot.

Kirito and company knew where Aoi was living and they were able to hack the drones guarding the place, as witnessed in an earlier episode.
Togane came to know about Aoi's home via Mika.

Following are the two events that I suppose happened in the story but were not revealed and left to ponder:

Koichi or friends stormed the house, took away Aoi's ear, and left off. Later, Togane came and killed Aoi brutally -- too many flaws in this plot.
Alternatively, Togane first reached the house, killed Aoi and left the body in Warehouse district. Koichi or friends later visited the house or the place where the body was dumped, took away the ear, and went off -- I have high hopes with this theory.

There are some theories floating in some places on web that Togane and Koichi were working together, so after finishing off Aoi, Togane handed over her ear to Koichi since both had the intention to blacken Akane's hue. This doesn't follow any logic in my opinion since Koichi remained a loyal friend of Kirito, and Kirito and Togane were enemies.

So, what really happened? Or, what is the most logical conclusion for the story?

texts: What does this Death Note rule regarding visual acuity mean?

texts:
This is the rule in question, (listed under the Death Note Wiki as "How to Use: XXI"):

  "Those with the eye power of the god of death will have the eyesight of over 3.6 in the human measurement, regardless of their original eyesight."

So, what are the numbers referring to? 3.6 what? I googled Visual Acuity, and I'm guessing those with death god eyes can see over 3 and a half times further than normal humans? 3.6 times to be exact.

I never read the manga, or saw the Japanese version, so I ask this question to confirm it with perhaps something someone read.

Yes, there has been stories about kouhai wanting to be with their senpais, but it doesn't seem like this particular line could have come from an anime.

What anime could have started this meme?

Mystogan is originally from Edolas and as mentioned humans in Edolas don't bear any magic within. However, Mystogan seems to be extremely strong and is capable of generating a lot of magical power. Where does he get this magic from? Shouldn't he be just capable of using magical objects rather than actually using magic from within?

I remember that before Season 4 was free, it was only for premium for a while, so maybe if I wait for some more time, it will become free again? Or is there another site I can use to see the My Hero Academia English dub?


texts: Is Roronoa Zoro based on Rurouni Kenshin?

texts:
There are several similarities between the two characters and also the characters they interact with.

They are both extremely skilled swordsmen.
Their names/titles are slightly similar and hint at being swordsmen. I'm not entirely sure about Roronoa but Kenshin's name was derived from some samurai novel. Also, vaguely note how execution is a main topic in and is constantly mentioned in One Piece and the character Kenshin was based on a samurai who was executed.
Kenshin was released in 1996 and One Piece came later in 1999.

From ANN's plot summary of Rurouni Kenshin

  Himura Kenshin is a vagabond with a dark past and sunny disposition.
  Not a ronin but a rurouni, he was never a samurai, but an assassin
  of utmost skill in the Meiji restoration, who in the turning point
  of the war simply walked away. His travels lead him to Tokyo in the
  11th year of the Meiji era, where he befriends a female Kendo master,
  a former thief, a brawler and a doctor all with their own
  secrets. Together they fight off the enemies surfacing from the dark
  past that Kenshin cannot escape. (Seems familiar with a certain
  character's merry band of men?)

From One Piece plot summary:

  ... Along his ways, with luck and determination, he finds himself many
  members who are devoted but to different causes. (Sounds familiar with a certain wanderer?)

So I would like to ask, is there any source that confirms whether the character Roronoa Zoro from One Piece is related in any way to Kenshin, or whether One Piece is somewhat influenced by Kenshin?

texts: If Maika and Kaho work in the morning, when do they go to the school?

texts:
Maika and Kaho both are highschoolers, but they work in the morning. I assume so since when Maika comes to work, she says "good morning" in most of the episodes. It most likely morning than afternoon.

It's confusing as in the first episode itself, Maika doesn't go to school after work and instead went to an arcade.

Watching the last episode, I'm more or less convinced they work in the morning as Maika and the manager bump into each other at the train station and the time shown on the board was 10:23 AM. So perhaps she goes straight to work after homeroom.

However, in one of the episodes, she did say being held up at homeroom and being late for work. So either Maika was skipping school after doping in for attendance or they have a strange curriculum where they let students do jobs during school hours.

So, when do they go to the school? Don't they have daytime school, or is it evening classes?


texts:
According to the official databook 1,2,3, Sasuke and Kakashi are faster than Naruto. According to the last one, Naruto speed is a 3,5 out of 5, (like a 7 out of 10) and Sasuke and Kakashi are a 4,5 out of 5 (like a 9 out of 10) . But in internet, I see a lot of discussions stating Naruto is faster than Sasuke, and putting as example that once or twice Naruto dodged a light speed attack. I wonder if there is an explanation for this? Perhaps the last databook doesnt cover those events? Perhaps it is inconsistent with the series? Perhaps it's indeed true that Sasuke is faster than Naruto?
Is the databook consistent with the series about Sasuke and Kakashi being faster than Naruto?

texts: End of Evangelion - Why does Misato dissolve into LCL and why did Asuka re-materialize?

texts:
These thoughts keep me awake at night:

After Misato is shot in the back while helping Shinji get to Unit 01- the elevator closes, she falls over, talks to herself/the deceased Kaji, Rei/Lilith/Adam appears above Misato and then there is an explosion.
But if the frame is paused at the right moment- you can see her body is in two separate pieces- however later there is a shot with her jacket in a puddle of LCL. Video for reference: https://youtu.be/63UIBoIF3mY?t=6m30s

I'm confused because one of the SEELE guys seemed very determined to remain alive until instrumentality occurred- He grins happily right before dissolving into LCL- and in the puddle of his LCL, his clothes and what looks like to be many medical devices that were keeping him alive into old age remains.
From what I understand- during instrumentality, only living things dissolved into LCL (So SEELE guy had all the medical devices, Kaji didn't dissolve, etc).
So I'm wondering why Misato dissolved into LCL because it looks like the explosion killed her.
I'm guessing it's possible that her jacket is just in a random puddle of LCL and she didn't actually dissolve- and her body could be off-screen.

As far as Asuka goes- at the end, her and Shinji re-materialize from the LCL as they will to. But she was killed by the mass-production eva units. I would assume that she also did not dissolve into LCL but then why did Asuka re-materialize if she was not a part of instrumentality?

I realize the director, Hideaki Anno, says there are no "right answers" to the meaning of the movie but I am wondering if there are any clarifications to these questions.
And please correct me if I'm incorrect on any of the above because I'm sure I have a few misunderstandings :)

EDIT: Defined my questions in bold and video reference added

We see a lot of negative consequences of this, for example Kfeer's family ostracized and his territory thrown in Civil War.

Why demean the memory of their friends instead of honoring their memories?

Ash has stated that his dad also began his journey as a Pokemon trainer from a young age, but that is about it.

Does anyone know anything about Ash's dad?


texts: Need help identifying this anime from about 18 years ago

texts:
I remember watching this when I was a little kid, but I barely remember anything at all. The main character was a man with a "demon arm" that he always keeps hidden with a glove, the moment he takes off the glove his hand activates granting him great power. The episode that I remember watching had a little girl singing in a black, dream-ish environment.

If I recall, I watched one episode in Spanish dub and the girl sang this song as she played: "dos y dos son cuatro cuatro y dos son seis". I know it's not a lot of information, but it's always been bugging me.


texts:
I understand that she physically healed Gon via the wish that Killua asked of Nanika, but there are a few things that were possibly not "healed".

Gon's Nen ability

As far as we know Gen has lost the ability to use his Nen because of his fight with Pitou. I know there has been some speculation that Gon could have this ability back already but will need to train all over again to gain access to it.  Would it be a dumb theory that Killua could use Alluka to also explicitly wish back Gon's ability to use Nen?

Gon's Penalty

This is something that is little talked about but during that fight Gon somewhat created a rule similar to Kurapikas in the sense that he would give up "all of it" just so that he could kill Pitou. This sacrifice looks like it was supposed to kill Gon for that momentary trade in power, the only reason him being alive due to the life support after the fight and Killua's wish to Alluka. Is it possible that the exchange for that power has been nullified by Alluka healing him?

texts: What is typically done when a voice actor for an ongoing series passes away?

texts:
It was recently reported that Matsuki Miyu, a voice actress, has passed away, perhaps from pneumonia or related complications (RIP). She voice-acted key characters in as-yet-incomplete shows, including at least Prisma Illya (Sapphire).

This surely can't be the first time this has happened. What is typically done when a voice actor for an ongoing series (ongoing either in the sense of a continuously-aired show like One Piece or a show with future scheduled seasons like [currently] Prisma Illya) passes away?

(I see three main options - put in a new voice actor for the character; write the character out of the show; or, worst case, cancel the show altogether. But all three options are imperfect. Historically, what has been done in these situations?)

texts: A extremely lazy girl that goes to the barber

texts:
I remember watching a anime not to long ago. I don't remember anything but about what happed in the first episode. So I hope that is enough info.

What I remember of the first episode is it starting of with a girl laying in bed with extremely long hair. And I believe her brother came to the room to tell her not to go out of her room as he had just cleaned.

She decided to go outside for once. She was walking in the town looking for a barber, and she met some random guy here which takes her to a park and cuts her hair there. After which she went home without paying. After telling this to her brother he got pretty mad, saying she shouldn't trust people so easily and that she should go back to pay him for the hair cut.

and I believe her brother said something that pretty much stated you are mine, and mine alone in the end of the first episode.

Hope this is enough been looking around allot to find it again :)

texts: Who are the characters on the girls' planes in Shirobako?

texts:
In the intro to Shirobako, the girls are shown flying in fighter jets. Each of them has a design under the cockpit - presumably related to the characters.

I can't figure them all out though.

This is the easiest one, the two toys are delusions of Aoi's that she interacts with often during the show.

Shizuka's plane has the  pig with a plum-shaped nose. This was the character that she got to play in costume during one of the episodes.

Misa's plane has a depiction of a penguin - from the show that inspired her to join the company she was making tires for.

However, I don't know what the final two are referring to.

Did I miss something obvious? Any ideas how these pictures / characters are related to the cast?


texts: What phenomenon are at play such that the "Big Four" are limited to four and not a growing list?

texts:
I've heard a list of anime referred to as "The Big Four":

Dragon Ball Z
Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden
One Piece
Bleach

What phenomenon are at play that there aren't more than 4 anime like these?

I think the criteria to get into The Big Four are along these lines:

based on manga
long running anime (hundreds of episodes)
longer or concurrently running manga
possibly currently running anime (they got their name when Bleach was still airing, so 3/4 were running for a while)

I've seen other shounen series pass 100 episodes, and there are certainly other fan favorites.  There are also really long-running series geared towards children.  However, it seems that most anime nowadays is 12 episodes, and maybe a followup season of another 12 episodes.  I can't help but think that these phenomena are related.


texts: Where did Hibiki learn to pilot the Vanguard

texts:
Hibiki Tokai was NEVER a pilot. He was a junior maintenance technician that entered the Ikazuchi on a dare.

Then he got the Pexis Vanguard, and became an ace pilot.

Where did he learn to pilot? Was it offscreen training, or the pexis implanted the knowledge of piloting in his mind, or another explanation?


texts: What's this anime film involving a phone's ringtone?

texts:
I can't remember the title or the name of any of the characters and it's driving me nuts @-@

It's an anime film around half an hour long, and I think it was part of some kind of anime film festival or contest (?). I'm not sure.

The film is a fairly recent one, I believe it was released around 2012 or 2013.

This is what I can remember about it, though I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate. It's not necessarily in order:

The MC is a boy who has two friends and I think they talk about an anime or a manga a lot. Anyway, there are three girls the MC takes notice of. They're talking when the phone of one of the girls rings. Her friends comment about her ringtone being dull. Later, the girl leaves for a bit and her friends change her ringtone as a prank.

During class, the girl's phone rings again and she is surprised at the ringtone, which is a piano song.

The MC hears it and he keeps note of the song.

After class, the girl gets mad at her two friends, but she forgives them later on.

The next scene I remember is where the MC and his friends are talking, and his friends go home ahead of him. He stays behind at school and starts playing the song in the girl's phone on an app in his phone. The girl hears it and gets surprised, then she asks him not to play that song. The MC then asks her for the song title and the girl says she made it herself. The MC praises the girl but stops since she clearly doesn't want to do anything with the song.

The MC then goes home and goes to sleep.

That night, he has a dream. The dream is about a female doll or something, a tower and there are three multi-coloured glasses.

I also remember a scene where the girl has drawings about this exact same dream, but I don't remember how the MC got those drawings u_u

There's also this scene where the MC and girl are talking, and then the boy mentions the colours of the three glasses. The girl asks him how he knew the colours, and he says he saw it in her drawing. The girl pulls the drawing out and apparently, the drawing isn't coloured. The MC realizes that it was from the dream and the girl is shocked that they had the same dream.

The girl then lets the boy listen to some recordings in her phone. It turns out that the song from earlier wasn't made by her but it was from her dream. Her mother thought she was going crazy because of the dream and had her gone through therapy.

There's another scene where a boy who is in love with the main girl fights the MC for "stealing his girlfriend" or something.

There's another scene where the MC accidentally rips the drawing of the girl and he draws another one as a replacement. The MC apologizes and gives the girl the substitute he made, and the girl says something along the lines of "We're the same" or something.

Anyway, sorry about how long and messy this is >_<" I just really want to know what the title is. Any help is appreciated!


texts: Gunslinger Girl II Teatrino: Anime vs Manga

texts:
I've heard from a lot of people that season 2 of the Gunslinger Girl anime adaptation is significantly more upbeat and brighter than the original, and loses the feeling of dark, morbid 'beauty', yet apparently, the second season follows the manga a lot closer.

Does the corresponding parts of the manga also have a more cheerful feel? (I only watched the anime, didn't read the manga)

texts: Tokyo ghoul's Kaneki's change in hair color

texts: When Kaneki's hair turned from brown to white, was it because because of the stress ? Or maybe because of his change of heart. A lot of anime and manga use hair-colors to describe someones personality, so maybe it was symbolic like, his hair turned white because he admitted that he has to change his personality.. Does someone know the real reason or?

texts: Why are only some music reference Stand names censored/translated differently?

texts:
In multiple Seasons of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, there are names of Stands that are msuic references and have their names censored/translated differently:

Joskue's Stand is Crazy Diamond (クレイジー・ダイヤモンド Kureijī Daiyamondo) but is translated as Shining Diamond. Crazy Diamond is a reference to Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
Yoshikage Kira's Stand is Killer Queen (キラークイーン Kirā Kuīn) but is translated as Deadly Queen. Killer Queen is a reference to Queen's "Killer Queen".

On the other hand there are other music reference Stand names that are not changed when translated:

Keicho Nijimura's stand is Bad Company (バッド・カンパニー (極悪中隊) Baddo Kanpanī). Bad Company is an English band.
Rohan Kishibe's stand is Heaven's Door (ヘブンズ・ドアー（天国への扉） Hebunzu Doā). Heaven's Door is a reference to Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".

Is this a Crunchy Roll only thing (I watched all of JoJo on Crunchyroll)? Or is this a general English translation thing? Why would they only censor some music references but not others?


texts: Can hunters change their specialization through training?

texts:
How did characters in Hunter x Hunter got their specialization or affinity? It is said that the specialization or affinity is based on the potential the characters got during their birth. Can they change the specialization or affinity they have just by thinking or training? But if they can, how can they train something they don't have? Like if they can't shoot the aura out, how will they get the specialization of shooting the aura by training?

Also, how come Franklin can shoot aura from his hands when he was born with human hands? How did Chrollo acquire spell stealing when there is no one to train with at the city of wasteland?

texts: Is Gaara able to control sand because of his mother or shukaku (the 1 tails)

texts:
The one thing that has always confused me about "cool headed" Gaara is how he became able to control sand.  During the ninja war, Gaara's father (Rasa) Originally thought that Gaara had completely given in to the Shikaku (1 tail) mainly because of the vast amount of sand that Gaara was controlling.

This leads me to believe that Sand manipulation is a characteristic trait of only the 1 tailed beast. However, if that were the case then Gaara should have lost the ability to manipulate Sand immediately after the Shikaku was extracted, but that wasn't the case.

Gaara's sand has also been known to protect him from all forms of danger, even when Gaara himself can't see the attack. This happens a lot in the Naruto series but during that same fight, his father stated that the sand was the proof of his mothers love.

(I'm not sure if this one part is actually true but a friend of mine told me that the sand is Gaara's mothers will and that's why he carries it around cause the sand is special) If that were also the case then Why can Gaara control normal sand too.

Its kinda confusing and I can't pinpoint how Gaara is actually able to manipulate sand.


texts: How did Dante know that the Elric brothers were going to bring back their mother Trisha?

texts:
In the FMA Wikia it says this...

  In the first anime series, the remains of the failed human
  transmutation that was Trisha takes on a larger role. After the
  brothers rush away from the scene looking for help, the deformed,
  living mass that was created manages to crawl away. Patiently waiting
  not far from the house was Dante, who fed it the Red Stones necessary
  to give it a human form.

Which leaves the impression that Dante knew that they would perform human transmutation on their deceased mother. Isn't it a bit strange that Dante is so conveniently close to the house when the incident happens? It seems to me that she knew this would happen.

So how did Dante know that the Elric brothers were going to bring back their mother Trisha? I also can't remember when this happened in the series. Please list the episode in your answer if possible.

texts: Why are a lot of characters in anime and manga named after their mothers and not their fathers?

texts:
I've noticed this a lot in many manga I've read. The character (usually the protagonist) is named after their mother's family name and not their father's. Some examples I have found of this are as follows:

In Special A, Kei Takashima is named of his mother's family not his father's. Unless the parents were cousins, it seems the dad changed his name to Takashima, too.
In Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki is named after his mother Kushina Uzumaki. I know that this may be a plot device to hide who Naruto's father is at the beginning, but still why name after the mother? Why wasn't he named Namikaze?
In Shokugeki no Soma, Saiba Jouichiro changes his name to his wife's: Yukihira. Why doesn't he keep his name? It's possible that he wants to stay out of the public eye, but is it common for the man to take his wife's name?
Another example from the same manga as above, Azami Nakamura. He changed his name to Nakiri after marrying into Erina's mother's family. It could have been for prestige, but isn't it normally the wife who changes the name and not the husband? And Erina is named from her mother's family too.

Sorry for all the examples, but I really would like it if someone could help me understand. I know it could be because of a plot device, but it has confused me for a while.

texts: Why isn't Digimon consistent with its rule mechanics per story/season title?

texts:
After reading this review about Digimon:

While the general basis of relationships between the show's kids and their digital companions remained constant over the course of the series, almost everything else went through many makeovers.
Some seasons feature seven human visitors to DigiWorld; others,
as few as three. In early episodes, the kids can't get back home; later stories show a new cast of youngsters effortlessly
journeying between the two worlds. And while in most stories each
kid has his own specialized Digimon sidekick, a full season of
episodes featured humans who could transform into the digital
beings rather than just summon them for battles.
Youngsters will certainly find this lack of continuity confusing, and
parents may be wary of introducing their kids to yet another marketing
conglomerate looking to rival Pokemon. (Digimon boasts a similar
assortment of tie-in video games, trading cards, virtual pets, and
other toys.) And it's worth noting that although the show's violence
is mostly of the flashy, fantasy variety and battles are reserved for
the digital beings, those who are seriously injured dissolve into
pieces that are said to regroup and reincarnate at a later date.

Anime titles that has certain rules like Pokemon's battling system, Bakugan, B-daman and Yu-Gi-Oh's Trading card Game. With every season or Arc those anime change the concept and lot but not the "in-universe rules". See Zoids for example,
we see different Zoid Titles but still stays consistent with the rule that there's an MC that has a Zoid as the Mech Pilot fighting other zoid pilots. Yugioh battle with cards. and Pokemon with its concept of Gotta catch them all, battle with other trainers and wild pokemon and compete in a league.
However in Digimon, as a season / title ends, they make these Make Overs in the story's scenarios and mechanics of the rules of battle.
for example, in the first season of Digimon (Digimon Adventure 00) We see 7 Chosen Ones who where transported to the Digital World. In there they meet their seven companion Digimons (one partner for each).
The Second season, continues the first with the 2 veterans and 3 new Digi-destined. Nothings wrong there then they throw in Frontier in which the Humans transform in Digimons (as armor) and they were the ones fighting instead of digimons (Power Rangers style).
Also in Digimon adventure and Digimon Xros Wars the "Chosen Ones" were having difficulties returning to the Real World, but the other titles can cross easily between worlds right?
Is this because they were being called Pokemon's "Rip-off" ? or is it marketing strategy because like pokemon they also sell merchandise and Trading Cards.
Are there any detailed explanation for this?

In the second picture, can we conclude that there are other titan shifters who fight against humanity?


texts: Can a manga get an anime even if it already has a live action drama?

texts: I'm an avid manga reader and my absolute favorite manga of all time, Takane and Hana, just revealed that it is getting a live action drama. I don't exactly have the best opinion on J-dramas (I find them unbearably goofy), and I know that the premise and story will be extremely hard to make work with real life people. I've always hoped that Takane and Hana would get an anime, but now that it has a drama I don't know if it can. If anyone knows anything that might help I would greatly appreciate it!

texts: How many different mental states of Banri are there in Golden Time?

texts:
It is more of a list of the different mental states of Banri and the mental states he is experiencing.

So, please correct me and expand the list. I will follow this model:

"name". When he appears. What memories he has. Whether he is a stable or temporary state of mind.

Pre-accident Banri. Shown in flashbacks. Has all the memories pre-accident, stable.
Post-accident (Main) Banri. The one that enrolls university and dates Koko. Has all post accident memories (including the hospital escapade). Stable during the first three quarters of the show.
Ghost Banri. Several scenes throughout the whole series. Only watches, cannot interact. Has all memories (since he is the incarnation of past Banri and watched main Banri all the time). "Stable", vanishes after his unresolved issue settles after Linda's confession/answer.
Possessed Banri. A few episodes in the mid-series. Has pre-accident memories, but is somewhat psychotic. Very unstable.
Tabula rasa Banri. Last quarter of the series. Is catatonic, no memories. Unstable, reverts to main Banri after a while. Sometimes shown in the transition between possessed and main Banri (do proper names have plurals? - cross posting to ELL.SE).
Healed Banri. Final episodes. Has pre-accident memories only. Stable, but may have gone into possessed mode offscreen during the month he spent home to retrieve the ring.
"Final evolution/Awakened" (sorry for the pun) Banri. Ending, after Koko's visit and the mirror epiphany. Has all memories. Probably very stable, since he is the happy ever after version...

So, did I get it right or am I missing/mistaking something?


texts:
This was asked by someone in another website but seems to have limited answers, or at least not enough to satisfy myself, so I am asking here.

texts: Is there any other characters with 2 quirks like Todoroki?

texts: So it's stated in the last episode of season 3 of the anime that Todoroki actually has 2 quirks (it counts as 2 quirks) when students ask if Mirio has 2 quirks (it stated that he has only one, permeation, the "instant transmission" he uses is an application of permeation). So I wondered , is there any other characters with 2 quirks like Todoroki in the series?

texts:
If you've seen CosPrayers, you probably remember it as one of the worst anime you've watched. The story made no sense, with many important story elements being cut out entirely. The characters had no personality, terrible acting, and their actions didn't make sense. There was pretty much no explanation for what was happening either. The camera angles were strange. The random fanservice also kills any attempt at a serious tone, but the show seems to be trying to take itself seriously. It's just all-around a bad show. Wikipedia even claims that the show spawned a minor meme "Worse than CosPrayers" to describe incredibly terrible shows.

If that were all, then we could just write off the show as one of anime's great failures, but the abomination continued with Smash Hit! (Hit wo Nerae!) and LOVE♥LOVE?. These series were aired in sequence immediately after CosPrayers and produced by the same people. In them, CosPrayers is a live-action television show, and both shows are about the production of CosPrayers. It is plagued with numerous problems, including poor management, lack of experience of the producers, unsuitable content, and even actresses seducing the screenwriter to try to get more screentime.

If a real show was plagued with so many problems, I imagine the result would be pretty bad. So it's almost understandable why CosPrayers was so bad, especially if it was intended to add to the story of the other two series. However, if that was their goal, I'd imagine that airing CosPrayers last, rather than first of the three, would be the better approach. It's also rather unbelievable that a studio would create a bad show deliberately, since I can't imagine they'd expect to make money off of it. Still, the show seems almost too bad to be true, and some forum posts online claim that it was deliberately made that way to match the other two series better.

Is there any evidence suggesting that CosPrayers was made to be a bad show, and the problems plaguing it were deliberate? Or is this just "fan" speculation?

Watch it at your own risk.

Is there any evidence that Goku managed to produce Goten before that fight?
Because I have a doubt about whether he could use them ever again.
Are the two circles in the picture (that appear to be torn apart) something else?


texts: Why can't anime studios create animes for foreigns audiences?

texts:
For example, to originally script dialogues in English and set the story in a country of any and the characters are non-Japanese.

If anime became world-renowned, why can't animation studios bother to create animes that target foreign audiences rather than its own Japanese audiences?

For example, the video game Resident Evil is produced by Capcom, a Japanese video game developer, but the game was created for American audiences because originally the English acting was recorded. Also, Afro Samurai which was animated by Gonzo was an anime that originally recorded English voice acting, so I would presume that anime was catered to American audiences.

So I find it strange why Japanese animation studios can't even produce animes to target non-Japanese audiences.


texts: Kazusa true ending. Explanation of Setsuna's epilogue

texts:
In the visual novel White Album 2 in Coda if you choose Kazusa then Haruki breaks up with her fiancee Setsuna.

While Kazusa seems quite elated with his choice (she says that having Haruki return to her side is the best thing that could happen to her and that she's never known such happiness), Setsuna didn't take it so well (She asks Kazusa why must she steal Haruki, hogging all the happiness. Setuna thinking she hates Kazusa and that she's her enemy makes it look she feels resentment).

My question is about Setsuna. She didn't take the breakup too well (She tried to commit suicide. Luckly the hit from that car didn't do anything to her).
2 years afterwards in Kazusa's true ending we see an epilogue where Setsuna is depressed and she's playing Haruki's guitar.

Can someone explain why she's playing Haruki's guitar? Why would she learn how to play that instrument when Haruki had been so cruel to her?

texts:
We know in one of the episodes while Goku, Vegeta, Whis and Beerus sat down to eat, Whis stated that there were 18 Universes before and Zeno erased 6 Universes while he was in a bad mood.

After the Zen Exhibition match, we know for a fact that if Zeno were to erase a universe, even the gods, The kaioshin and hakaishin would also be erased. We also know that the angels are not related to the universe and their duty is to only serve the god of destruction, which is again mentioned by Whis when Beerus questioned as to why he wouldn't get erased.

It was also mentioned by Shin during the Future Trunks arc that if Beerus were to die, Whis were to leave the universe as his sole duty is to only serve Beerus.

Based on these events, shouldn't there exist 6 more angels of the erased Universes? Why aren't they watching the tournament of power (When the exempted universes are watching the same)? We know these angels don't cease to exist once their universe is erased as we see some of the angels of the erased universes seated and watching the tournament of power.

What are your thoughts on the same?

Well, I know this is kind of a weird question.

He was upset, and Teuchi of Ichiraku Ramen asked him to have some ramen, but he said "I didn't have money for it".

I thought a lot and was unable to figure out where he got his money from? He didn't have his missions at that time.


texts: "The World Will Turn To Ash" - How did this differ in the original Japanese?

texts:
In Pokemon: The Movie 2000, part of the legend that tells of the balance of nature being wrecked goes "The World Will turn to Ash".

This is the sort of pun-legend I'd expect from Japanese writing...yet this is Ash's given name, and the original legend must be in Japanese.

So what, exactly, did the legend say about Ash being the "chosen hero" at that point in the story?


texts:
During the events of Selector Infected Wixoss, it is revealed that when a Selector loses 3 battles...

   her wish is reversed. Hitoe, who wished to make friends, would therefore be unable to touch any potential or current friend without suffering from intense pain. She would also be unable to remember her friends or read any diary entry about them.

Interestingly, the very first episode of Selector Spread Wixoss shows Hitoe touching Ruuko without showing any signs of pain.

How is that possible?


texts: Manga about a city of murder between people with superpowers

texts:
Saw this manga one year ago, but I think it's not new, because when I starting reading it had already 70ish chapters, more or a bit less

Let's state what I remember:

In the beginning there's some chapters on a ship that is transporting the people (with superpowers) to another city, where they will fight (I don't remember if there's a prize to the winner or how the winner is chosen, by killing or such things)
One of them demonstrated his power, disassemble (or alike), and did that to a clock that he had with him (or someone gave it to him); His power did something similar to this
There's a girl that can pass through wall, but to do so, she needs to get naked
And then, there's one guy I believe is the protagonist, his power is something like the protagonist from Charlotte (receive the powers of the person he possessed), but he doesn't need to possess the others, just touch them; If I'm not mistaken, some of the people on the ship are afraid of him
There's a guy who can store almost anything in his pocket or his hair, because he stores things in another dimension
There's some type of organization that wear an Owl head, or it's actually their head
I remember another chapter where people get stuck in the walls of a building, action made by one of the "evil people with superpower" (I don't remember if it was a bad or a good character)

I'm not sure if the next things I'll state is about the manga I was talking above, I could be mixing with another manga

There's a doctor in this city, though much hate him, the people (with superpowers) need him, because he's the only one who give them treatment to the wounds of the battles
That doctor has a zombie assistant, a child

In the last scene of the show we see Reiji and Elen in Mongolia standing in the fields and Reiji ends up shot and--I'm assuming--killed by the man on the wagon passing by. However Elen's emotions don't reflect this at all.

From what I know, the show is setup to favor Elen and Reiji being together with their bond they slowly developed throughout. However, when Elen looks back at Reiji she is smiling happily thinking. "These memories are enough for me," and goes to lay down in the grass paying no mind to him.

My thoughts on what happened:

First off, the ending scene goes from them being together mid-day to each of them in separate scenes at sunset.

Elen is thinking back on her times with Reiji, after the point of his death. Which happens to be at the same place and time of day that he died. Elen says, "I have memories of being with you," which could possibly be referring to a flashback from before Reiji died.
I'd like to point out that she could possibly have planned his death, although unlikely. Since that wouldn't fit with the dialogue of her thinking back about Reiji.


texts: Which novels does The Sky Crawlers movie adapt?

texts:
According to the Wikipedia, The Sky Crawlers series consists of 6 books, and one of them is titled The Sky Crawlers itself:

  The Sky Crawlers (スカイ·クロラ)
  None But Air (ナ·バ·テア)
  Down to Heaven (ダウン·ツ·ヘヴン)
  Flutter into Life (フラッタ·リンツ·ライフ)
  Cradle the Sky (クレィドゥ·ザ·スカイ)
  Sky Eclipse (スカイ·イクリプス)

There's also an animated movie with the same name, which is said to adapt the novel, but which novel? Is it only the The Sky Crawlers book, or the whole series?


texts: What databases and listing sites exist for anime, manga, etc?

texts:
What are the major online databases of anime, manga, light novels, visual novels, and other related media? What are the differences between them?

To qualify as an answer, the source should list a large fraction of series in some particular medium, not just one or a few related series. The primary purpose of sites here should be indexing information about series. While it's acceptable to link to sites that do have some information related to e.g. fansubs, the primary purpose of all links in answers here should be indexing, not providing download links. Also, databases which are out-of-date should be removed.

Non-English sources are welcome so long as they qualify, but please specify what language in parentheses.

  Note: This is intended to be the canonical reference for
  questions like this to avoid lots of new questions coming in with
  slightly different specifications. Please check the sites here to see
  if any fit what you want before asking a new question. The answer is
  CW, so feel free to add to it.
