texts: Definitive answer as to whether Johan woke up to question Tenma or it was a hallucination?

texts:
When Dr Tenma visits a comatose Johan in hospital, we see a scene where Johan wakes up from coma to ask an existential question, which contrasts with this philosophy that life is inherently meaningless. Tenma does not answer; we cut to a scene where Tenma is panting in a cold sweat over a comatose Johan.
Which of these interpretations is true:

Tenma has hallucinated it entirely and Johan has never gained a conscious state, much less walked away.
Johan has indeed woken up and questioned Tenma and later escaped.
The screenwriter (or manga artist) has made this a perfect ambiguity.

Background
The scene seems open to interpretation as I later discovered. The contrasting interpretations:

I infer that Tenma hallucinated this entirely as in the next scene Johan appears to not have ever stirred. Tenma feels safe leaving him alone. Tenma hallucinated this, overcome by understanding the reason for Johan's bitter life philosophy.
Popular Wikia author (quoted below) says that there is a possibility that it's for real (Johan woke up, questioned Tenma, went back to sleep while Tenma was in a cold sweat, then later left the building). This is supported by the fact that Johan leaves his bed by escape (or death; as the same article presents this ambiguity), proving that he was physically capable of doing so.

From Wikia:

...end of the series, Tenma paid Johan a visit in the state police
hospital, where he had been unconscious ever since the massacre. After
being informed that he had [a] name, Johan sat up and began talking to
Tenma, retelling the story of his mother's choice and asking which
child wasn't needed. It is unclear whether this was a
hallucination that Tenma experienced or if it was actually real.

and

His mother's true sentiments while making the switch might have been
frightening for Johan, leaving him to question the scene for years to
come.  However, if that segment is to be interpreted as a
hallucination by Tenma, this might not be the case.


texts: Can we infer how the Fifth Holy Grail War would have ended had Gilgamesh not intervened?

texts: Are All Might and Midoriya equally strong when they use One for All 100%?

texts: Even though Midoriya can't use One for All without breaking his body, if both Midoriya and All Might use One for All 100% in their primes, are they supposed to be equally strong? Does their particular body influence how much strong each one are or by having One for All they are about the same? Does the manga give some light about this?


texts: Has there ever been official pornographic media for an anime and/or manga series?

texts:
I've been wondering about this for a while now. With how perverted some anime and manga are without ever crossing into pornographic content territory, were there ever any anime or manga with official pornographic media? Example: a little spinoff series of sorts of a regular anime/manga, with one or two episodes focusing on characters bumping uglies mostly. Bonus points if those "interactions" are officially canon.

Obviously, I'm not talking about something like Dragon Ball or Pokémon. That's just weird. I'm talking about anime and manga that are already adult oriented, which already have some light sexual elements or sexual overtones, where it would make sense for official pornographic content to exist.

I wouldn't be surprised if some companies already tried to squeeze some extra bucks from the more fanatic and perverted parts of the fanbase, while those uninterested in the content never have to see it if they don't want to.

I'm specifically talking about series(es?) that started out relatively non-perverted and whose main source stayed relatively tame - no intercourse is ever shown directly, but it could be implied. VNs that had perverted elements and were turned into anime/manga later do not count, but feel free to give some examples if you want to.


texts: In the anime continuity, is there any parallel to Lulu's mistake with the King of Ginko's castle?

texts:
In episode 8, we learn that Yuriika was rescued, as an "unwanted bear", by someone who is only referred to with male pronouns.

This person visually reminded me of Ginko's mother in the Yuri Kuma Arashi manga, which, compared to the anime, approaches the plot and characters differently. (See the right panel.) In the manga, Yuriika also has a significant relationship to Ginko's mother. They first meet at the school, after Ginko's mother has become engaged to Yuriika's brother, and they later become lovers.

In the manga, Lulu speaks of Ginko living in a castle with a "King" and "Queen". The "King" is revealed to be Ginko's mother, rather than her father. We learn that Lulu was mistaken because someone referred to Ginko's mother with male pronouns — 彼 (kare), I believe — at some point. Lulu had this misunderstanding because Ginko's mother is named Kale, after the Greek goddess, which is pronounced similar to 彼 in Japanese.

Is there any parallel to this revelation of the "King's" actual gender in the continuity of the YKA anime? One wiki lists a woman as the voice actor for "Him", but that's not much to go upon.

Haruka seems to have memories of the events that occurred before the tuning. Does everyone retain their memories or is it just her because she was with Ayato?

texts:
I have yet to find a clear answer to this question. From what I've read, it may be an art-house series about dangers of remote communication, phobia of technological advancement and feeling of insecurity. The last point I can agree with because of how easily information can be accessed with the use if internet these days, but the rest… I think there's a more concrete meaning to this series.

SEL is a series with very unusual direction and a peculiar artistic style. These traits are commonly seen in art-house works that may not bear any specific message.

Throughout the series we learn about the difficult reality surrounding Lain: her relatives are troubled, some of her friends have psychological problems, there are suicides happening in mystical circumstances, and then there are some secret agents following around.

Later in the series, things become rather surreal and Lain turns into some kind of god of the Net. I've never understood this portion of the anime and what it could possibly suggest. Does it warn us about dangers of becoming too self-important? Does it mean it's possible to lose the sense of reality when using internet? Or maybe Lain's character is a metaphor for a person new to technological advancements of today?

What is the message the authors of SEL are trying to communicate?

texts: Which book is referenced in My Neighbour Totoro, when the Susuwatari are introduced?

texts:
The anime My Neighbour Totoro introduces small black soot sprites, apparently called Susuwatari.

Around 8 minutes 42-45 seconds into the movie (German DVD edition), when the family checks out their new home and the girls ask their father about the spirits while they are looking around the bathroom, the father identifies them as "soot sprites" and in response the older girl asks whether they are the same like "in the picture book" (or storybook).

I'd like to know what book she's referring to. Does it exist at all, seeing that the sprites were - according to Wikipedia - invented by the story's author/director Hayao Miyazaki.

I'm mainly looking for canon answers, or answers referring to traditional Japanese legends.

In Hanayamata, Hana's full name is "Hana N. Fountainstand" (or Fontaine-Stand, or Fonteyn-Stand, or Founteyne-Stand, depending on who you talk to). Do we ever find out what "N" stands for?

I'm pretty sure this never happened in the anime, so I'm expecting it was revealed in the manga if it ever was.

Why Canba transformed in chapter 3 of Dragon Ball Heroes into Golden Oozaru? Was he supposed to be weaker than Vegito super saiyan blue kaioken or was he supposed to be weaker?

texts: How did the dorms get assigned their names?

texts:
in Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Duel Academy has 3 dormitories, named after the 3 Egyptian God Cards, Slifer, Ra and Obelisk with Slifer having very basic facilities and seen as the underdogs (weakest) while students at Obelisk are more privileged and seen as aces and elites (strongest).

However, out of the 3 Gods, in terms of functionality this isn't right.

Obelisk is the weakest because its ATK and DEF are set at 4000 which we have seen reached by other monsters apart from Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and requires sacrifices to destroy all monsters on the field.
Slifer is the next strongest with its HP fluctuating based on the number of cards in your hand. However, when a monster is summoned, it has an instant attack which drops the opponent's summoned monster's stats by 2000 with the chance of destroying it.
Ra is considered the strongest with its ATK and DEF able to come from the player's Life Points and also its initial ATK and DEF come from the monsters sacrificed to summon it.

So I am wondering, how did the dorms get assigned their names, and would it make more sense that the elite's dorm gets the name of the strongest god card?

NOTE: I am referring to the god cards' functionality in the anime.

texts: How exactly do you cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi?

texts:
Obito tried to cast it using the Divine Tree's bud and Ten Tail's power.

Madara did it by absorbing the Divine Tree and using the Rinne Sharingan.

Kaguya did it just by eating the Divine Tree's chakra fruit (which I believe only contains a fraction of Ten Tail's/Divine Tree's power).

So what is the working behind casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi?


texts: Has Crocodile already "awakened" his Devil Fruit Power?

texts:
Crocodile is the first villain that easily beats Luffy (twice) while Luffy survived due to Robin's interference and luck. However, one of the comments on his devil fruit power struck me.

Chapter 178: Wikia (Anime Episode 110) Emphasis mine

  Luffy is astonished at Crocodile's power while Crocodile comments that he does not just possess his devil fruit ability like some people, he mastered it and demonstrates this by creating a hole of quicksand.

Crocodile can absorb moisture and convert anything to sand, i.e. he can permanently convert something to sand. He also completely annihilated the palace garden. He can create large sandstorms which can run for days. He can control sand in the city which can cover it like a fog. These abilities seem to point in a direction outside the limit of Logia powers.

We also know Crocodile knows about awakening. In Chapter 544 Crocodile is the person who tells us about the awakened Zoan type Jailors

  Crocodile then reveals that the Jailer Beasts were all "awakened" Zoan Devil Fruit users, saying that their extreme physical endurance and recovery point were their advantages. Crocodile states that the other three would soon awake and that the Boss of Hell would be arriving soon.

So is there some reference about Crocodile and his DF powers? Maybe something Oda has said in SBS, about crocodile, limits of Logia powers or Awakened Devil Fruits.

Other Observation: Akainu and Aokiji may have awakened DF's since they converted Punk Hazard into Freezing side and Burning side permanently. (Also Akainu burning Ace). Enel may have a hand in the island that is permanently spewing lightning etc.


texts: How did the people in the Naruto Universe forget about their history?

texts:
Can somebody explain the timeline of Naruto?

Apparently everything started off with the Sage of the Six Paths creating jutsus (with no info on society before it), and then a couple generations later Konoha is founded. Then about two generations later Naruto becomes this savior of the world.

Judging from this, people forgot even though the span of their history could only be about 1000 years.

Let's say the Six Paths was 1000 years ago and the Konoha as well as the other major hidden villages were founded around 300 years ago.  What happened in those 700 years?

How did the people forget their own history, in such a short time?  Did everybody just forget to tell their children stories about the strong people of their time?  Was there no form of writing or stories passed down generation to generation?

Note: I'm not saying that the history was only 1000 years, it might have been longer or even shorter.  There was no evidence to it so I estimated it by generation.  Each new generation every 60-80 years.

Have there been any official announcements on the translation/English naming of "Attack on Titan" regarding why they gave it that name?

I don't remember, whether or not it was stated in the anime, where devil fruits grow. They always just "appear".

I tried watching the last season in Japanese with English sub, and it was so confusing. I was like 'Who's this character?' 'Oh, it's Mina! Minako is her name...' and stuff like that.

So, will Sailor Stars (the final season) be available in English dub?


texts: How does the Mangekyo Sharingan blind its wielder, and why are some wielders not blinded?

texts:
A disadvantage of gaining the Mangekyo Sharingan is that it leads to blindness over time.

Source: Chapter 385, Mangashare/Binktopia scanlation
We have seen Madara, Itachi and Sasuke, all wielders of the Mangekyo Sharingan, use Susanoo. All three have gone blind or have worsened eyesight at some point*. Itachi and Sasuke have also been shown using Amaterasu which makes the eyes bleed afterwards.

Danzo Shimura, Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake, also wielders of the Mangekyo Sharingan, on the other hand, have never used any of the above techniques and have never shown any sign of blindness*. Why didn't they go blind or have worsened eyesight?

What causes the blindness effect of the Mangekyo Sharingan? How does the Mangekyo Sharingan eventually blind its wielder?

*Please correct me (or suggest an edit) if I'm wrong.
Also, please feel free to suggest edits adding what chapters the events mentioned above happened, so question answerers can review it.

  A song whose vocals are credited to the character or characters singing the song.

Humanity left Earth to escape Godzilla.  In their relativity, they only spent 20 years away from the planet, while the planet didn't see them for ~20,000 years.

When they return to fight Godzilla (not a spoiler), you see large landing ships, hoverbikes, powered suits, and many other pieces of high technology.  Their legged tanks are even strong enough for Godzilla to feel threatened by.

Did the technology of the people who left advance that far in the 20 years they were gone?  Or did the other 2 alien species impart their technology to the survivors?


texts: An old anime (1998-2007) about a guy living with a couple of girls under the same roof

texts:
I'm looking for an old anime but can't find it.
I watched it as a kid, around the time Dragon Ball Z got popular in the West too.

It's about a guy (I believe with glasses), that starts living in a house with a couple of girls. Most of the stories revolve around crushes of one another, but there are no-sexual encounters, just a lot of mistakes in which he sees them naked accidentally and gets kicked around a lot. Actually he has a crush on the oldest one of the girls in the house.

A lot of the anime is revolving around the local university/school. He pretends to be in the university, but actually isn't, while I believe the oldest girl in the house is taking the entrance exams.

There is no fighting in the game, nor any sexual content.
I believe it existed in manga form too.

I can't remember more. Does anyone know which anime I'm talking about?

Admittedly I don't watch enough anime to have full context, but in numerous situations I've seen what's depicted as a little girl is actually a woman 100+ years old.

There's a wiki article that talks about examples but not the history or reason for the trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReallySevenHundredYearsOld/AnimeAndManga

At the first timeslips he had that suburban life with Ai, but later on, the timeslips were getting more and more locked until he gets to the "goes to Africa and dies" inexorable ending.

Supposing he changed the future only when he acted on info obtained from a TS, what were the ones he messed up to end with that future (before graduation)?

My guess is that he screwed up on the very first one when he told her to stay beside her dying dog, thus giving her the desire to become a vet.

The whole series then showed the future getting more and more deviant.

Is this a viable interpretation? What went wrong?


texts: Is the song name "U and I" supposed to be Ui's name?

texts:
In Episode 17 of Season 2 No Club Room, when Ui is sick, she wakes up and looks at the lyrics Yui wrote. I am watching the English-dubbed version and on the top of the paper the song is titled "U and I".

English-wise, this looks like Ui's name if written in Romaji and it makes sense given that Yui wrote it when she was caring for Ui, a time in Yui's life where she doesn't have Ui looking after her like she usually does.

So I am wondering, in the Japanese version, is this song supposed to just be Ui's name?

However, Naruto maintained the tailed beast chakra mode for quite a long time before he fought madara.

I'm really interested in the exact timeline when the Kyuubi stopped using up Naruto's chakra (So i can better understand just how large Naruto's chakra reserves are). Does anyone know exactly when the Kyuubi stopped taking his chakra back from Naruto?

Or is there simply no logic at all?

In which episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion does Rei Ayanami have a long dialogue, where she reflects on life saying things like "Who am I? What am I? What am I?". There are pictures of houses and in the background with some quiet eerie music you hear her voice.

I can't seem to find this scene that easily, and I really wanted to write the dialogue down.

texts: Regarding the life of Fisher Tiger in One Piece

texts:
I'm catching up on One Piece. I'm currently viewing the Fishman Island saga and more specifically, the story of Fisher Tiger.

Obviously, SPOILERS ahead regarding Fisher Tiger:

   During that story we learn that Fisher Tiger managed to climb the Red
 Line with his bare hands (10,000 meters from the ocean surface) and
 attack the Holy Land of Mariejois alone. A feat which shows that
 Fisher Tiger was a man of legendary strengh.

 This is why his death was so perplexing to me. After reaturning Koala
 to her parents he was attacked by Rear Admiral Strawberry and a score
 (?) of marines. He was shot to death.

 How this can be? How can such a powerful warrior die of a score of
 mare marines and a Rear Admiral when he managed to attack and survive
 Mariejois?

Am I missing something?

Did I miss something? Did they actually say that Summoning was not allowed in the exam?

At the end of the Lucky Channel segment in episode 5 of Lucky Star, Akira Kogami, raging because she won't be appearing in the main show despite the introduction of a new cute-little-girl-type character, says to her co-host Minoru Shiraishi:

"You know. Why don't we change Shiraishi Minoru's name to something else? Like Su-"

The segment then ends abruptly.

What, if anything, was this a reference to? What name did she intend on giving him? Googling the quote doesn't help, and I can't find it in the lists of references people have compiled for the series either.


texts: Why Is Britannia often depicted as an almighty power?

texts:
Often in series revolving around wars, you will see a mention of Britannia.
More often so, they are depicted as an almighty power which is to be feared, or even one which has dominated most or all of the world.

Some of the most known examples would be code-geass where "The Holy Empire of Britannia" conquered most of the world, including Japan, which then became known as Area 11. Or a bit more obscure reference in nanatsu-no-taizai:

So why is Britannia often depicted as an almighty power? One who should be feared?


texts: Which characters in One Punch Man have regeneration abilities?

I was reading the One Punch Man wikia and it apparently claimed Metal Bat has some sort of regeneration abilities which I don't know if it's true. I actually didn't think he had those. If it's true and he actually does have them, it made me wonder if there could be several more.

Which characters in One Punch Man aside from the well-known ones like Melzargard, Boros and Zombie Man have regeneration abilities?

So he has to know which transformation is stronger, and in the Dragon Ball Heroes continuity super saiyan 4 and super saiyan god can indeed be compared since both exists there. Then, which tranformation is stronger? Xeno Goku super saiyan 4 or Xeno Goku super saiyan god transformation?

Spoilers

During the story arc where Laxus is putting on his "entertainment" for the festival, it is revealed that...

After this Natsu and others seem to be more worried about him.  Maybe it is just me, but it seemed similar to Goku going Super Saiyan or something.

Why does being a Dragon Slayer seem to make the situation worse?


texts: Does Mizuho reveal his crossdressing after he graduates?

texts:
It's been a long time since I watched Otoboku, but I've always wondered if the visual novel explained what happens to Mizuho after he graduates and puts aside his façade.

Mizuho is a guy disguised as a girl, attending an all-girls school. He doesn't exactly keep a low profile, either; if he'd done that, he could have just made his girl form disappear after graduation and went back to being a man. Instead, he runs for Elder and becomes a celebrity who is looked up to by the younger girls. When he graduates, he can't just throw off his wig and dress, go "Phew, what a relief", and be a man again, because tons of his former classmates recognize him. He would have to either tell them all "Yeah, I was cross-dressing all those years and hanging out in the dressing room and bathrooms with you" and get arrested for a pervert, or else pretend to be his own brother (or something) and get out the disguise again whenever his old school friends come around.

Yes, seriously, that's a guy.

If I remember correctly, Mariya, Takako, and Shion all know by the end of the anime series that Mizuho is a guy. Yukari and Kana never find out. So at some point, he's going to have to break it to Yukari and Kana, even if he decides to never see anyone else from the school again. (According to the Wikipedia article, though, he, Shion, and Takako often visit their old school after graduation.)

The Wikipedia article says the VN does show what Mizuho does after he graduates. Does it address this? Does he maintain his female disguise or eventually break it to everyone that he was a guy the whole time?


texts: How are Death Billiards and Death Parade related?

texts:
I'm watching Death Parade right now and I just heard about Death Billiards, which seems to be a predecessor work for Death Parade. A one-shot of sorts, or so it seems. I'd like to know without spoiling the rest of D.P. how the two works are related, and if it's recommended to watch D.B. before D.P.

Update: After seeing Death Billiards, I'd say it's best to watch it after episode 2 of Death Parade, but before episode 7. D.B. is pretty much like the first episode of D.P., but with different bar customers.


texts: In Melty Blood, is Shiki Nanaya the master or servant of White Len?

texts:
I'm really confused as to whether Shiki Nanaya is the master or servant of White Len. At first, he seems to act as a Familiar created by White Len, but then he says that he'll be a good master to White Len. There's also the fact that he only came into physical existence outside TATARI because of White Len, since every other appearance outside Melty Blood he has been a persona of Shiki.

So, is he White Len's master—like how Shiki is Len's Master—or are the roles reversed, and she is the master keeping his physical existence in the world (as Familiars can only be in the world if supplied with prana from their master)?


texts: Is it necessary for Amestrians to die for the transmutation circle?

texts: Throughout FMA: Brotherhood, fighting has been breaking out, having been orchestrated by the Homunculi to power the giant transmutation circle that makes up Amestris. In most if not all of the fighting, it seems to be that the Amestrians are suffering great numbers of casualties. The fighting at Fort Briggs, for example, was orchestrated so Fort Briggs would be weak so they could be massacred. It is necessary that Amestrians to die for it to work and that is why it is being set up so they are on the losing side, or is there some other reason, like it is easier to make the Amestrians lose?

texts: How many crew members that Straw Hat should be?

texts:
In very first of episode, Luffy said that 10 peoples are enough for his crew.
But I'm little curious, by 10 he mean, is 10 including himself or 10 other peoples on the ship plus Luffy?

I've read somewhere (I can't remember where I read, or even this is true or not) that Oda have stated the next crew is some kind "old enemy" of Luffy.
I don't think that Jinbei is the person that Oda said because he is not an enemy for Luffy at all (Once again I don't even know that Oda really said that old enemy thing).

So, I just want to know if Oda really said something about that old enemy of Luffy, and if so did Oda also stated about Straw Hat crew members are 10 including Luffy or not?

texts: Is there a reason for this broken "Fly"?

texts:
The picture below is a partial screen cap from time mark 1:44 of episode 24 of Haikyu!!, 2nd Season.

My main question involves Karasuno's team banner, with the calligraphy for Fly.  Several times this season the banner's translation is shown with the word "Fly" broken into two lines.  In each episode, there was obviously room for the "y" to appear on the same line with the rest of the word.

Was splitting it a pure mistake, possibly caused by some production issue?  I can imagine that maybe the translator was rushed and confused, or perhaps somehow could not tell that the entire word "Fly" would have fit on a single line.
Was the split done out of habit?  I've seen that Japanese is sometimes written horizontally and sometimes vertically.  Perhaps the translator just did not realize how odd it would look in English to see a 3-character word split.
Was the split a pure artistic choice?  It seems unlikely, but maybe there is some concept within the Japanese calligraphy that could be expressed in English by splitting the word "Fly".  I can sort of get it -- Fly, by its very nature, is a vertical concept.

Since the same frame contained Aoba Johsai's banner, I might as well ask the opposite question concerning it.  Why did the translators not split the word "Court" from the rest of the slogan so that it would appear below "Rule the"?  This would allow the translation to not overflow the banner, as well as avoid a partial overwrite of a second calligraphic character.

The cinematography of the banners here is interesting. They are intentionally juxtaposed thematically, not as they actually were placed in the stadium. Perhaps the key is not in the individual slogans, but in the viewing them as a set.


texts: Are there 2 saiyans called Panpukin in Dragon Ball?

Why didn't Taki write his name on Mitsuha's hand?


texts: Tetra's avatar's gender: which one is it?

texts:
In the anime, Tetra appears feminine at first, but it's later reveled that he is a boy. However, in the anime, it's not clear if they refer to the avatar or just the player.

Is Tetra's avatar's gender female?  The wikia is unclear, making statements that his avatar is female, androgynous, and is defined as a "he" in his "New Adventure Land profile" (no idea what that is).

The wiki makes it obvious that the player is male; I'm asking about the avatar.

texts: Why not consider possibility of 3rd Kira when Misa and Light in prison?

texts:
When L captures Misa and Light puts himself in prison and gives up the death note, L and the task force suspect that both of them have 'Kira powers'. Murders stop, which makes them believe Misa and Light were the only ones with Kira powers.

When murders return there could be three reasons:

Light and/or Misa were not Kira
Powers were transfered
There are more than 2 kiras.

However, they don't consider the third option.

I can see there's a leap between thinking of a single Kira and multiple Kiras. However, given they were already working with the hypothesis of 2 Kiras, why not consider the option of a 3rd Kira (without any power transfer)? This wouldn't discard Light and Misa of still having powers and thus keeping them in custody.

texts: Can Ultra Instinct be used on top of other transformations, like Super Saiyan Blue Ultra Instinct?

texts:
Ultra Instinct is sometimes refered as a transformation and sometimes as a technique/state. Now apparently there are thousands of fans who believes Ultra Instinct can be used on top of another transformation, just like kaioken can be used on top of Super Saiyan Blue and make Super Saiyan Blue kaioken, they believe you can have a Super Saiyan Blue Ultra Instinct or a Super Saiyan God Ultra Instinct.

Personally I dont believe this is possible, but there are thousands who thinks so and this situation already has consequences in the Dragon Ball fandom, for example there is a videogame mod of Dragon Ball Xenoverse which allows you to use "Goku Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXHuC2d-0-c&t=9m18s

and there are also fan arts made about it like this one,

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FBGPK6OZsZU/maxresdefault.jpg

texts: Why would a studio intentionally mistranslate the title of "Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun"?

texts:
A new anime started this week called, in English, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun. I thought the first episode was pretty good, but the title was kind of a turn off.  If I hadn't seen reviews saying it was good, I probably would have skipped it due to the title alone.

Later I found out the title is actually mistranslated.  It should be "Earth-bound" not "toilet-bound".  Yes, the ghost being contacted at a certain toilet stall is part of his backstory, but that is a relatively minor point that didn't need to be in the title, especially if they have to mistranslate it to do so.

Why would the translators of both the manga and anime do this?

texts: What did Ikta mean when he said "...Right now, you’re really red..."?

texts:
Towards the end of episode 4 of the anime, Ikta says

  “Yo, Yatori, there’s something important I need to tell you. You might
  already know it, though… Right now, you’re really red, you know?”

Which makes sense in context for Yatorie: red hair, red blood, adrenaline, etc.

What doesn't make sense is when he said it to the princess a few minutes later:

  “And by the way, I won’t mention it anywhere else, but I’ll tell you privately in secret…. Princess, right now, you’re really red.”

What does it mean when Ikta said that to the princess?  Was he trying to flirt?  Was he trying to look cool?

Quotes came from here, which seems to be a slightly different story than the anime.


texts: In the last episode of "Your Lie in April", what was enclosed in the envelope?

texts:
This is where the letter by Miyazano Kaori is being read out. The English subtitles said,

  P.S. I'm enclosing something that I've always treasured.
  If you don't want it, feel free to tear it up and throw it away.

I can't understand Japanese; I don't know if she was being more descriptive there. All I can see is a part of a picture of two females in skirts, and one or two little kids. One of them appears to be an adult or an older girl, and the other, a young girl. But I can't recall such a scene in the series. What exactly was she talking about, and what was the picture that was enclosed?

If the voiced description in Japanese was insufficient, does the manga shed more light on it?


texts: How does an outsider get "citizenship" in one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries?

  At a young age she was sent to Konoha and enrolled in the Academy.

I'm aware of the connection the Uzumaki has with the village. However, without being born into their respected village other than the academy or married to one of the citizen (like Temari), how does one get a headband of one of the Five Shinobi Countries?


texts:
In the first season of Free!, the three main swimmers of Iwatobi Swim Club could only manage to add one new swimmer, Rei. (Gou, while a member, was not a swimmer.)  In the second season, even though it was an active and ongoing goal, they never managed to add anyone else.  While the issue was not actually central to the plot, it bothers me that these likeable guys could not find anyone else.

I can think of two possibilities.  The first is production-based -- the folks doing the anime chose not to complicate the plot with any more characters.  To counter that, though, the Samezuka Acadamy, with already at least a dozen on their team, added two more significant ones during the 2nd season. The other possibility is that there is an underlying reason within the story that the Iwatobi High School Swim Club is supposed to die.  It will do so after this school year, due to the graduation of Haru and Makoto.  With only three members (two swimmers), the team would be auto-disbanded.  Why can they not get any new teammates?


texts: Why is there a difference between the licensed Italian paper manga and scanlation of Bokura ga Ita?

texts:
So I was reading the paper manga of Bokura ga Ita in my native language (Italian) and I noticed that some pages were really different from the scanlation, like there were some extra parts or some pages were missing.
For example, page 14 to 22 of chapter 67 in the scanlation has Yano visiting his old home and remembering his mother (a scene missing in the Italian version). Instead, in the Italian paper manga (as shown in the picture) has Yano discovering that Takeuchi left the engagement ring to him.

(Italian manga book: chapter 67, pg. 14-15)

 Poppo really fail to save Menma as she was drowning?

In real life, I doubt he would have just run away for help. It is known that her body washed away so if he saw her where she fell initially, it must have been just as she started drowning.
Is it known that he saw her, in the middle of drowning, and just left? Or did he see a body, or maybe just the flip-flop?
I need to know...

So I've been wondering what Minato's teleportation kunai said, but I have found nothing. I can only recognize the first and second characters. The first one means Shinobi, and the second one means love. I can't understand the last two.

So my question is if anyone knows what Minato's kunai say.

texts: Why wasn't Jiraiya brought back with Edo Tensei?

texts:
Was it ever explained why Jiraiya wasn't brought back via Edo Tensei when just about every other powerful ninja in history was?

From my understanding, the summoner only needs a good bit of genetic material to bring someone back and Jiraiya's body was intact when he died.


texts: What is up with the pattern on the fence?

texts:
In the episode 12 of the first Bakemonogatari season, there's a fence with an interesting pattern which seemingly has the word "KAWAK" in it:

In the first episode of the second Monogatari season we see the same place:

And another angle:

Looks like the words "CHICO" and "KAWAKITA"!

With the whole show stuffed with symbolism, subtle references and hidden messages, could this mean something?


texts: What is the significance of the symbol in Tanaka's eyes?

texts:
At the end of the Thanatos Report OVA (set after the events of the .hack//Sekai no Mukou ni movie) after Tanaka picks up a certain chip, a symbol appears in his eyes.

What is the significance of this symbol? What does it mean for Tanaka?


texts: Does Nausicaä wear underpants, and if not, what outside-universe reason is there?

texts:
I haven't watched all of it yet, but it seems as if Nausicaä isn't wearing underpants in the anime version. Either that, or she's wearing tight-fitting slacks that are of a colour close to skin tone. Is she wearing underpants?

If she isn't wearing underpants, what is the outside-universe reason for not doing so? Within-universe, it seems to make sense: a lot of the clothing worn is very simple clothing, as if it were hand-made. However, while other Ghibli works I've come across seem moderately relaxed with regards to clothing (you can briefly see totally innocent underwear in Kiki's delivery service, and there's a joking suggestion of nude portraiture) it seems a little surprising. Is a bias against prudishness a shared theme of Ghibli, along with a love of flying and a love of nature?

This FAQ (cited by Wikipedia) denies that any scenes were cut because of nudity, and states that the impression she doesn't wear underpants were because of poor quality videotape fansubs, saying that watching the DVD would clear it up - but I was watching the DVD to start off with. It also has some cover art from a manga version (not the anime) with white-coloured slacks.


texts: In the Monogatari series, who is Araragi's true love? Hanekawa, Shinobu, or Senjougahara?

texts:
I am kinda confused right now because after seeing Kizumonogatari, it seems like Hanekawa was Araragi's first love.
In the Bakemonogatari series, Araragi also turns out to like Senjougahara.
But Shinobu and Araragi also like each other too, right?
So which one is Araragi's true love?


texts: Looking for manga apps which filter out mature content

texts:
My son is into manga and anime. When I look for 'kid-friendly' sources for him to read and watch, I make sure that they filter out the mature stuffs. Currently, he has the Crunchy Roll app, and it seems to be pretty kid-friendly and filtered. If I am wrong, please let me know.

He asked me to check out an app called "Manga Rock", but from the first page, the results were not the kind of stuff I want him to read due to the heavily mature content. (If you know what I mean...)

Any recommendations for a manga app that I can feel comfortable with?

texts: Why does Akira retain her memories of her experiences as a Selector?

texts:
In episodes 7 and 8 of Selector Infected Wixoss, Akira calls Ruko and Yuzuki to an abandoned building. Akira shows them the scar that appeared on her face after her third Wixoss loss and tells them that her wish was to destroy Iona. This exchange suggests that Akira retains her memories of her experiences as a Selector.

In contrast, after Hitoe suffers three losses, she does not recognise Ruko and Yuzuki after they find her on the street. Even when she looks at her Wixoss notebook, she is unable to remember Ruko and Yuzuki. This is in accordance with Hanayo's statement that upon three losses, the Selector will lose her memories associated with being a Selector.

With this in mind, why does Akira retain her memories? Perhaps Hanayo's explanation of the loss penalties was incomplete?

texts: What does the "Dark age" mean in Shin Sekai Yori?

texts:
I was wondering, in the anime on the 4th episode "Bloody History", they refer to some period of time called the "Dark Age". I was wondering (maybe the people that can read the original Japanese Novel can respond this better) what exactly was meant by the "Dark Age"?

I tried to figure what the Dark age was and while searching for that answer, I approximately transcribed (from the subbed english version) when the False Minoshiro talks about that. In that scene he approximately says:

  The turning point for Japan was when "Boy A" committed a series of crimes.
  He realized he could use his PK powers and open the most difficult of
  locks.  “A” broke into the bedrooms of 19 sleeping women, assaulted
  them and eventually killed them. At this point Saki and her friends
  couldn’t comprehend how a human was capable of killing other humans.
  Even after his arrest people continued to use PK to commit crimes. It
  became a weapon for terrorists. It split society into a complex mix of
  opposing political, humanitarian, and ideological factions… ...and the
  world entered an era of war, unlike any known before. Ironically, the
  constant threat to the lives of PK users led to a dramatic evolution
  of their abilities. Meanwhile, the human population plummeted
  worldwide, until it was less than 2% of what it it’d been at its
  height. These events serve as an overview of the Dark Ages that lasted
  five centuries.

From that, I concluded that around 2011 A.D. society was something very similar to what we have now (with cars, iPhones, airplanes and normal technology). Then people with PK caused a war and for that reason, human population suffered a terrible decrease to 2%. Then this era lead to a war and then to an era where northeastern Asia divided itself into four distinct and irreconcilable units:

1st, Slave Dynasties, Where PK users controlled those without PK capabilities.
2nd, non-PK users who escaped the Dynasties and lived as hunter-gatherers.
3rd, Bandits who used PK to attack other settlements.
4th, a group of those who managed to preserve some remnants of the technological age.

Then we have the present time where Saki and the others live.

My question is, which time period does the "Dark Age" correspond to?

Is the following time scale correct?

Or is the Dark age before the dynasties/division of asia age? Also, what is known about the dark age?


texts: What is this symbol called which is used to denote "II" in the second season of "The Quintessential Quintuplets"?

texts: The Japanese title for "The Quintessential Quintuplets 2nd season" is 5-toubun no Hanayome ∬. I assume "∬" to be number 2 or "II". But this symbol looks more like the Integral symbol or "Double Integral" to be precise. This symbol is used in mathematics and is never stylized to show numbers or anything. So, is this symbol anywhere present in Japanese script? Or is it just a cursive way of writing "II" that ended up looking like integrals?


texts: IIRC in season 1, when he was fighting other psychics, once he was hit someone said he has something like an automatic or unconscious psychic protection that's why he can't get hurt easily even if he's catched offguard. But in season 2 when running he falls and he has his knee bleading and his face bruised. Does Mob have an automatic/unconscious psychic protection?


texts:
At the end of the first season, when Ai-chan meets Akatsuki, she says that Salamanders work to keep Aqua warm by fighting one another inside the floating building seen in the series.

However, I can't really believe that Salamanders just fight one another all day and night to keep the planet warm. So what is it Salamanders actually do and why does Ai-chan think they fight one another? (because Akari can't have been the one to put that in her head.... right?)


texts: What episode does this particular scene with a Takoyaki "song" occur?

texts:
I'm looking for the scene where Luffy, Usopp and Chopper (maybe someone else too, I don't remember) are singing 'Ta-ko-ya-ki, Tak-ko-ya-ki" and so on, and so on.

I thought it was around the time Hachi was kidnapped by the Flying Fish Riders but Google doesn't give me any relevant results. I do remember that there was another scene about Takoyaki, back in Going Merry times, but I don't know anything more specific about that part.

If someone would be able to tell me what episode this scene is from I would be so happy :-)

Thanks in advance!

texts: Why didn't Krillin and Gohan store the Dragon balls in a capsule?

texts:
I'm watching Dragon Ball Z Kai and never really thought about it - If Bulma was able to pack up her cave back into capsules, why couldn't she put the Dragon ball(s) in the house, then pack up the house?

The resulting capsule would be small enough to cause confusion for anyone who had the dragon radar, as it would be in the vicinity (if it still showed up), but could be hidden in someone's pocket or even swallowed / regurgitated as necessary. It could have even served as a "this radar is on the fritz, we don't have any of the balls to hand over, they're still out there somewhere" excuse if cornered.

Was this simply a case of the characters not thinking to try it or is there something that would prevent the dragon balls from being shrunk down / stored in a capsule? And on that note, could you store a person / animal in a capsule?

texts: Why didn't Nagato give Naruto his Rinnegan?

texts:
Since Nagato was aware that he was going to die soon why didn't he give Naruto his Rinnegan? His was fully aware of his death and this is shown in episode 172-175 and also on Narutopedia. The Rinnegan isn't a curse but more of great power, Nagato could've easily had his eyes implanted into Naruto and Naruto would've been almost twice as powerful as Nagato and the Six Pains combined. Was there something that was blocking him from doing so such as a curse mark or something such as that?
This has been bugging me for a while, but to reason with my question I would like to explain how he could've implanted them, There are only two canon ways to attain the Rinnegan. (Apart from Ōtsutsuki) These ways are by getting it from someone else or by By Merging Indra’s chakra with Ashura’s. The obvious way he could've gotten it was by getting the Rinnegan from Nagato or stealing it from his corpse. Naruto is not greedy enough to steal it from his corpse but Nagato was definitely able to give him his Rinnigan, but this was the only way of him being able to because of his heratige, Nagato was a part of the Uzumaki clan but not the Ōtsutsuki clan so, therefore, he couldn't just implant them by touch or some sort of Jitsu. He has every reason to give his visual prowess to Naruto.

F.Y.I. Nagato was not mad or angry with Naruto in his final moments


texts: Why is Hana the only person credited for uniting Suzuran?

texts:
It's been a long time since I have read Crows, but from what I understand, Bouya Harumichi pretty much did the exact same thing as Hana Tsukishima, and arguably even better than Hana.

Hana's team lost to Manji and Hana lost to the strongest Manji guy, Bisuko. Whereas Bouya was able to defeat his Manji counterpart. Sure, Bouya was sort of the lone wolf at Suzuran, but when push came to shove, he was able to rally the entire school to follow him. I'm just kind of confused why despite his legendary status, Bouya wasn't given credit for also uniting Suzuran.

First change: His hair got white and he was a little bit skinny.

Second change: Hair loss and lack of physical fitness.

texts: How different are the anime and manga versions of Akame Ga Kill?

texts:
Okay, so I watched all of the Akame Ga Kill anime. My question is should I start reading Akame Ga Kiru (the manga) from the beginning or continue from where they split?  I saw on another post that they split around approximately chapter 48. I understand that the overall plot is similar up until that point, but if there are additional characters or skipped over mini-archs then I want to go back and read it all.  If the anime is completely accurate until chapter 48 then I will just start there.

Anyone know the answer to this?

At the end of the first arc, Kayaba says that all the remaining players are safely logged out.  In the next episode, we find out that isn't the case.

Why didn't Kayaba notice that a good number of players were still logged in via their Nervegears?

He clearly had admin access to not only the game, but the servers; was intimately familiar with the source code, the design of the Nerve Gear, etc.

   Kayaba should have been able to notice anyone mucking about in the servers to prepare for such an event as to shuttle users from one VRMMORPG to another, especially because it was only him and Cardinal running the servers.

Slimes are commonly known as the weakest creatures, but more and more I'm seeing powerful slimes show up in anime. When did powerful slimes become a thing? Or have they always been a thing and I just haven't seen them around before?
Earliest example I can think of:

Overlord - Solution Epsilon. Anime 2015, novels started in 2010.
Konosuba - Season two finale, Hans. Anime started 2016, Novels
in 2013.
Reincarnated as a Slime - Anime 2018, Novels in 2013.

I'm sure there's plenty others as well.

texts: Where was the conservatoire entrance exam held?

texts:
In the beginning of ch. 53, Chiaki comments that it is their first day in Paris. Later, in the flashback in the dinner scene, we learn that the entrance exams to the conservatoire that Nodame is going to attend were a month ago, in February. After I also saw:

Nodame's demand in the morning to be taken sightseeing
Nodame's comment in the "Prelude" to ch. 53, which takes place around a month before the entrance exams, that she could hold off her departure from Japan until June but would not because Chiaki wanted to leave with her and as soon as possible

I assumed that Nodame did not have to take the entrance exams in Europe, or at least not in France, and that prior to ch. 53, Nodame and Chiaki had not stepped foot in Europe. (Nodame's severe lack of French competency and her response after Chiaki tells her to look up and admire the nighttime Paris scenery also corroborates this for me. However, the former could simply indicate that Nodame and Chiaki simply were not in France for most or all of the period before ch. 53, and the latter makes sense so long as they arrived in Europe relatively recently.)

However, at the end of the chapter, we learn that Frank, who lives in Nodame's new apartment building, is French, and that he was the person whom Nodame met at the exam. As a result, it occurred to me that the entrance exams might have been in Europe — the conservatoire is in Paris, and it would thus be strange for someone already based in France to have to travel a long distance to take an entrance exam for it.

Is there actually an inconsistency, or is something wrong in my logic (particularly with how I am dealing with (2))? (If my logic is wrong, I imagine the anime adaptation, which shows Nodame and Chiaki landing and moving in in the same episode, might have played a part in confusing me.)

In a paradox ending (triggered by having the Paradox Scope on and refusing the Fragment Alyssa gives) Snow turns up with the Guardian Corp and arrests Alyssa revealing that the Fragment was a booby trap that she got from someone implied to be Caius which explains what happened in the Historia Crux.

But outside of the Paradox Ending Alyssa is no where to be seen in Academia 500 AF or mentioned by anyone despite Hope's plan to use the time capsule with her to meet them in 500 AF (they already used it together to jump almost 400 years).

so what happened with Alyssa Zaidelle? is it somehow related to her apparently working with or for Caius?

texts:
In the anime Vegeta insisted the only saiyans alive were him, Nappa, Raditz, Goku and Goku's son Gohan. Later we found out that Vegeta's brother Tarble was alive (in the case this is canon, by the way, Vegeta never mentioned him before) and recently that Broly and his father Paragus too. But in Dragon Ball Minus which seems to be canon

   Freezer asks to one of his soldiers before killing all the saiyans how many saiyans returned to Planet Vegeta, his soldier replies most of them should be back in a month or so but it will take a little longer for every single saiyan to come back, and Freezer says he cannot wait that long, he will execute his plan in a month's time.

Does this mean there are several others saiyans alive?
