texts: What's the song that plays in FMA:Brotherhood episode 36 at 4:40?

texts:
There's a song in episode 36 of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood at 4:40, and it plays many times afterward in that episode.

I listened to almost all of the soundtracks and could not find it.

What is this song?


texts: In Naruto, some animals can talk, like the toads of Mount Myōboku, Kakashi's ninja dogs, Manda, and Katsuyu. Some of them have ever used hand signs.  Yet Akamaru can't even talk. Is the ability to talk given to certain animals at random, or can they all talk when they have enough chakra or do they just simply have to learn how?


texts: Akagi (An) is in the attendance list in one of the first manga chapters, but it is later revealed that Kafuka Fuura was not actually there in person.  Therefore, she couldn't have been in the class as herself during the attendance check; instead she had to have been possessing one of the girls at the time.  So was the listed person (Akagi An) not really Kafuka?


texts: AFAIK, adventurers only reached floor 59th. But that isnt the end of the dungeon. How many floors the dungeon is supposed to have?


texts: How does Guy know how to perform the jutsu in the Eight Gates Released Formation?

texts:
I know that if you open the 8th Gate, you will get enormously powerful but at the end you will die.

In that case, how did Guy know Jutsu that can be performed in that state, given that against Madara was the first time he ever opened it? You can't just invent new Jutsu on the fly.


texts: Why did the stand "Notorious B.I.G" change to "Notorius Chase" in the anime?

texts: In episode 24 Jojo Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, there is a scene where a new stand named Notorius B.I.G appears, but on the wall it's called "Notorius Chase." Why is there this difference? Is it just some mistake in the voice-acting or key animation ? The wiki page also states that the stand Name is officially Notorious B.I.G, not "Notorius Chase."


texts: What is the significance of the name Bleach?

texts: The name "Bleach" seems to be having no relevance to the plot unlike most other series. Was it just chosen at Kubo-sensei's whim or does it have some significance? Maybe some cultural significance associated with shinigami, etc. that I am now aware of?


texts: What anime is this blue-tinted image of a layer of skin/paint peeling off the face of a woman from?

texts: What did Kakashi/Sakura mean in this scenario? Naruto Shippuden Ep 484

texts:
https://youtu.be/V0zyVCjld9M

Ep 484 of Naruto Shippuden. "Exploding people"

Kakashi says "good observation", but neither of them verbally say it.
What did Sakura say without wording it?

  Kakashi: Whoever did it, the genjutsu is unknown to us. It has to be
  the work of someone with extraordinary skill. So it will require someone
  with extraordinary Visual Jutsu powers.

  Sakura: looks at Kakashi, startled

  Kakashi : (noticing) Good observation.

  Sakura : I didn't say anything. blush

  Then she punches Naruto offscreen for asking about it.

  Kakashi: We might not see anything, but a person with the Sharingan and
  Rinnegan might.


texts: Why couldn't Eren Yeager transform into a Titan in the last episode of season 2?

texts:
In the last episode of season 2, named "Scream", Eren Yeager was unable to transform into a Titan to save Hannes from the Smiling Titan.

Why couldn't he transform?

I don't really read the manga, although I do look at it from time to time.

Has there already been an explanation for this in the manga?

texts:
In Pokémon, there's an island named Tangelo Island. However, it's Japanese name translates to Bontan Island. There is another fruit called Pomelo, which in Japanese is said Buntan. Is this some pun on the name of the fruit? Also, Tangelo and Pomelo are quite different fruits:

Tangelo ^

Pomelo ^

Which one of these, if any, is grown there?


texts: Jiraiya, Naruto, Hashirama and Kabuto were able to enter into Sage Mode. One who enters Sage Mode possesses more abilities than a normal ninja. Why did the Uchihas never try to learn Sage Mode? Is it because of the Sage of Six Paths dividing his power among his sons?


texts: If I understand correctly, the Ant Queen can pass the genes of what she eats to her offsprings. And also, IIRC, she ate humans and created chimera ants like Colt, Peggy and Meleoron. These ants resemble a Condor, a Chameleon and a penguin, but they werent created eating animals but humans. How is this possible? Why Chimera Ants who were created from humans have the physical appearance of animals?


texts: Is the Japanese well-translated to "kalos" here?

texts:
In episode 9 of Kamigami no Asobi, time mark 6:54, the following conversation occurs in the English subtitles:

(Yui) Um, Apollon-san, are you ok?
(Apollon) I'm just fine.  I'm kalos.

I had to look up kalos, and found an article for kalos kagathos (Greek καλὸς κἀγαθός) at the Wikipedia.  It means "the chivalrous ideal of the complete human personality, harmonious in mind and body, foursquare in battle and speech, song and action".

On the one hand, I think it is probably a bad translation in that very few English viewers will know the word.  (Well, unless this is a point where I happen to be ignorant.)  On the other, the original Japanese may well have used a concept of the same ideal, and the translator found the best English match.

BTW, Apollon was not fine, being in the midst of an emotional breakdown.  So if the Japanese had him overemphasizing his well-being, maybe it was a good translation.

texts: Questions about nationalities and languages in Death Note

texts:
In the Death Note 2015 series, some people sometimes speak English. For instance when Raye Penber and Bell talk and when Lind L Tailor comes out on TV, it's in English.

The Death Note anime of course acknowledges the existence of the English language, like in the first episode, when people with English names are written down in the Death Note and when Near says 'Mister' Aizawa, but a lot of English speaking people instead speak Japanese.

So this got me to thinking,

Are L, Mello, Near, Watari, Beyond Birthday et al Western people who just so happen to be fluent in or at least sufficiently speak and understand Japanese?
L once adopted the alias Ryuga Hideki. How would anyone think that a Western-looking person has a Japanese name? Is his cover story that he was adopted by a Japanese family or something?
Are they necessarily British just because Wammy's House is in England?
In general, is there anyway to know for sure what language is being spoken between a Western person and an Eastern person in the Death Note anime? For instance, when Light and L talk, are they talking in Japanese or English? How about when Near and Light talk?

texts: I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, and how many different purposes did it serve?


texts: What do the numbers shown when a character is introduced mean?

texts:
In Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru, whenever a new character is introduced, a bit of information about the character is displayed on screen - their name, what type of sword they are, and a number. For example, when Tsurumaru is introduced in episode 2, we find that he is numbered "23".

What do these numbers mean?


texts: How is the use of the red stones able to bypass equivalent exchange?

texts:
In the 2003 series, we see on different occasions that the red stones are used as an unstable alternative to the philosopher's stone despite the fact that they do not have any souls entrapped in them. They're just artificially synthesised.

If so, why was prophet Cornello able to apparently bypass equivalent exchange using the red stones? More controversial is the revival of birds by alchemy using a red stone. Why are homunculi fed with red stones as a source of souls? It all just doesn't add up.


texts: Are there other characters with combined techniques in Dragon Ball other than Gohan and Piccolo's Demon Flash of Death?

texts:
Spoilers from manga 56

   For trying to defeat 73, Gohan and Piccolo use a combined technique called Demon's Flash of Death, (Masenkōkōsappō) a combination of Demon's Flash of Light (Masenko) and Special Beam Cannon ("Demon's Penetrating, Killing Light Gun", Makankōsappō)

Are there other characters with combined techniques like them in the series?


texts: Identification of the background music played in episode 2 and 3 of Beyblade Season 1 English dubbed version

texts:
I'm trying to find out the name or any identification of the background music played at:

01:05 in Episode 2 of Beyblade Season 1 (English dub) from original series. It's played during the battle between Kai and Tyson.
05:57 in Episode 3 of the aforesaid season. The music plays during the conversation between Tyson and Kenny after a friendly battle between Tyson and Max.

I did search on web but most of the time the results I get are either the Beyblade songs with lyrics, or links to Japanese ones, but I can't figure out the one needed.

texts: Why have they been delaying Kizumonogatari for so long?

texts:
Kizumonogatari is a movie based on a story of the same name in Monogatari Series light novel, which is part of First Season before Nisemonogatari. I don't even remember when it was supposed to air, probably two or three years ago. After the delay, they kept producing other stories in Monogatari Series like Monogatari Series: Second Season, Hanamonogatari and Tsukimonogatari.

Why did they put it off for so long? If it was because of production issue, like Hanamonogatari, why did they keep producing another Monogatari Series but not Kizumonogatari?

I am currently watching Mushrambo/Shinzo (the Japanese version), and the series starts at episode 2.

The English version of the anime has a different beginning. Why is that?

texts: In Neon Genesis Evangelion, why are Angels attacking?

texts:
Why are Angels attacking the earth? What's with "Adam" in the basement? And why are the three computers named after the Three Wise Men?

I love the story for the characters and the mecha-battles, but all the symbolism goes over my head. What's it all about?


texts: Which anime did the pregnancy test meme come from?

texts:
Several months back, there was a meme circulating where anime characters had pregnancy tests photoshopped onto a picture of them.

Some examples:

The two hands and device look fairly well drawn, so I presume it was cut out from another show. I haven't been able to find out what the show that originally had the pregnancy test was. Does anyone know?

texts: In the advance of the new chapter of Dragon Ball Super , Roshi appears with lilac ki, perhaps the sign of a new technique or transformation. My question is, is there any other human in the Dragon Ball universe who has a non white/transparent ki/aura?


texts: Is Goku using God ki when he uses Ultra Instinct?

texts: We know Goku in Super Saiyan God and in Super Saiyan Blue uses God ki. And apparently, he can also use God ki in base form. So, my question is, is Goku using God ki when he uses Ultra Instinct? Does the anime show something about this?

texts: Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi become the third Hokage again?

texts:
Hiruzen Sarutobi is the third Hokage, while Minato is the fourth Hokage.

After the death of Minato, Hiruzen becomes Hokage again and he is still called the third.

But why still the third? Why isn't Hiruzen called the fifth then? And why didn't they choose a new candidate as new Hokage?


texts:
I'm watching the anime series and I have no idea what happened in the manga. In another topic here I asked Why if Endeavor solved more crimes than All Might He isnt considered the number one hero . I know All Might defeated All for One (I can't recall if he told that in the anime or if I readed it online).

I wonder if Endeavor ever fought All for One, and if he did, did he do well? That's my question. If that happened that could explain why one it's considered the number one hero perhaps.


texts: Was the phrase "Zawsze in Love" generated using Google Translate?

texts:
In chapter 216 of the manga, it was revealed that the title "Zawsze in Love" was actually a mistranslation from an translation program. It didn't specify whether it was done using Google Translate or any other translation program.

The first volume of Nisekoi was published in 2011. At that year, Google Translate was not as good as it is now. I don't know the quality of Google Translate's Japanese to Polish translation in 2011 since I don't use Polish and never learned it, so there was no reason for me to translate from Japanese to Polish. My question is, has the author ever mentioned what translation program he used so that he ended up with the phrase "Zawsze in Love"? Or did he generate the phrase himself and used translation program as an excuse in the story?

Note that I'm not asking about the meaning of "Zawsze in Love", which already explained here. I'm asking about it's origin.


texts: What proof do we have that Waiting in the Summer and Onegai Sensei (and Twins by proxy) are set in the same Earth?

texts:
Offshot of: Waiting in the Summer and Onegai Sensei seem to plagiarise each other. Is this normal in anime/manga?

It is said that both animes are set in the same Earth (I.E., Waiting in the Summer is a sequel of Onegai Series). While my first question addresses how common is to have two series that are almost a plagiarims of one another, this question is about these two series per se.

What evidence do we have to prove that Waiting in the Summer is indeed in the same World/Earth/Universe than Onegai Sensei, Onegai Twins?


texts: What's the content of the book that Aya read at the end of Mad Father?

texts:
In the last scene of Mad Father game, Aya looks like reading a book that was lying on the ground, but she didn't explain to us what she read.

What is the book that Aya read at the end of the game?


texts: What does the twin witch pair in 'Spirited Away' represent?

texts:
This is how I interpret the story of Spirited Away:

The bathhouse represents the society. People work with each other towards a common goal. Every night, 8 million gods come to the bathhouse and workers serve them, worship them. In a way they deal with them, do business with them. In Asian cultures, fire, air, earth, water, food, etc. are represented as gods, so bathhouse very accurately represents a working society. The 'spell' breaks if they stop working.
Yubaba is the culture. She manages the bathhouse. She is a tyrant and rules over people by taking their real names and giving them new names.
Chihiro was given a new name by Yubaba, 'Sen', which means 'one thousand', similar to how a person is given a roll number or employee number in an organisation. That number becomes her new identity.
Haku has forgotten his real name. Similar to Islamic terrorists, he's become a slave to the tyrannical culture. He'll do anything the culture tells him to do.
The baby is the belief system of the society. Yubaba is overly protective of him.

One thing I can't understand is, who is Zeniba, Yubaba's twin sister.

Yubaba and Zeniba are two parts of a whole.
Yubaba keeps the baby locked in a room, afraid that he might get sick because of germs. Zeniba turned the baby into a mouse so that he might have a little freedom.
Zeniba lives in the swamp bottom.
There used to be trains running between the bathhouse and the swamp bottom in old days, but the return trains from the swamp bottom have stopped. Now it's a one-way road towards the swamp bottom.
The tickets to the swamp bottom Kamaji gave to Chihiro had been with him for 40 years.
'Zeni' has two meanings in Japanese, 'money' and 'ancient'. 'ba' means 'old lady'. The meaning of Zeniba which seems to fit the story is 'ancient old lady'.
Yubaba wanted to steal a seal from Zeniba, which was supposedly very precious.

So what do Yubaba and Zeniba represent in this story? It looks like they might represent:

culture and nature
tyranny and individuality
life and death
interdependence and self reliance

but none of these seem to elegently fit all the points I've mentioned above.


texts: Why did Lelouch erase Shirley's memories of him?

texts: We all know that Lelouch erased Shirley's memories of him, during the Mao case. But why? Couldn't he just have erased her memories of him being Zero, instead of erasing all memories about him?


texts:
Since both officially joined the crew (by this, I mean after Arlong Park), they use special suffix when talking to each other. In case of Sanji, this is not surprising as he does the same with every girl he meets (as far as I noticed).

Nami, on the other hand, rarely uses such suffixes, with Sanji being the only none she calls Sanji -kun.

Is there any canonical reason for this?


texts:
Does the Hellsing manga cover more material than either anime series? I read the wikipedia page, but didn't see any mention of it.  For example, does the manga continue the story where the animes leave off?

I'm not a big manga fan, so I don't know how books and chapters translate to anime episodes in general, let alone to this one.

Watching Drifters makes me want more, so I started rewatching Hellsing Ultimate and I'm thinking about getting or reading their mangas.


texts: Many animes use the idea of "mana", an energy source for magic that if it's consumed deny magic users the possibility of casting more spells. Some animes which uses this are A Certain Magical Index (2008) (and spin offs such as A Certain Scientific Accelerator (2019) and A Certain Scientific Railgun (2009)) , Arifureta shokugyou de sekai saikyou (2019), Black Clover (2017), etc , but the first use in a fiction AFAIK was in a 1969 american novel. Then at some point after that and very likely before the animes I mentioned, mana was first used in an anime. But when was this? Which was the first anime to feature mana as energy source for magic?


texts: Why does Yuria's hair colour change to white?

texts: When Yuria was taken away forcefully by Shin, her hair colour was still red. However, when she was being held captive, her hair colour changes to white. Why is this? Could she have been exposed to radiation?


texts:
Touhou Project has a lot of characters, but the vast majority of them are female. Even though Gensokyo has plenty of men, for whatever reason they are very rarely relevant to the story. To the best of my knowledge, none of the men have appeared in the games (excluding non-humanoid characters like Unzan), but they do appear in manga side-stories and other canon works.

Can someone provide a list of the major (named characters, characters with significant impact on the plot, etc.) canon male characters in Touhou Project? I'm mostly interested in human or humanoid characters.


texts: Is it explained why Satoshi cannot create art?

texts: In D.N.Angel, Satoshi can copy any art that he sees but not create art of his own. Is this because he was not raised by his family (the Hikari family)? Is some other reason given, either by the manga or by the author?


texts: They're supposedly some form of magical super food, right? Not like some all-cure medicine, as they can't cure ailments nor healed over wounds. It's like they super charge the body's natural healing or something. But, given that they also state to be able to sustain someone for a weak, if we assume the magic isn't just to sustain a body, but to magically produce all the needed nutrients for it to sustain itself for so long somehow, then could a Senzu Bean cure malnutrition and restore the body to what it would be like normally?


texts: When was the start of the multiple story-line?

texts: According to Photokano, Yosuga no Sora and Amagami-SS (series that adapted from Visual Novel) are animated as multiple story-lines in one series. When did this trend begin, and which anime might be earliest version?


texts: What are the differences between the 2002 and 2006 versions of Kanon?

texts: I only watched Kanon (2006) which is made by Kyoto Animation. What are the differences between the 2002 version and the 2006 version of the series?


texts:
It's "common knowledge" that each Pretty Cure series takes place in its own continuity.  From my limited experience with the franchise I've already seen two contradictions with that idea.

Kenta Hoshino, a supporting character in Splash Star, made an appearance in the previous series, Max Heart.  He was even slightly younger in it.
In both Splash Star and Heartcatch, Cures have been shown to be a long-standing order of warriors.

What's the official stance on continuity?  Is this "common knowledge" based on official statements?

As you notice, some of the students got into B Class such as Ibara, Kendo, Tesytetsu, and Awase. Why is that? How does UA assign class to their prospective students?


texts: Is yamato dead? If not what happened to him. We saw him being taken prisoner by Kabuto and then we never see or hear from him again, even with Kabuto defeated we see no mention of him. So what happened to him?


texts: Why did the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime change the dueling boxes/tables used in Duelist Kingdom to large platforms?

texts:
The Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist manga series depicted the duels during the Duelist Kingdom arc with the players sitting at dueling tables that were surrounded by a box which projected holographic images of the battles, whereas the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series depict Duelist Kingdom duels on the large field-sized platforms where the players stood a very large distance apart.

Is there any reason why the anime producers decided to make such a noticeable (but non-impactful) change to the way the duels took place?


texts:
The manga Yotsuba&! is a story about a little girl named Yotsuba. So, the title using her name makes sense, but why is there an additional '&' at the end?

This is the manga cover in English. It says Yotsuba&! and sometimes it's written Yotsubato! on some sites.


texts:
So from the spoilers of Dragon Ball Super Broly, apparently,

   for a second Vegeta's hair turns green

Is it impossible for Goku and Vegeta to turn Legendary Super Saiyan? In the non canon movie (the original movie) it was made apparently that it was, but with the Dragon Ball Super series/ Dragon Ball Super Broly, is there anything that proves that Goku and Vegeta can't turn into Legendary Super Saiyan?


texts: What is the name of the song playing at 10:25?

texts:
The anime is "Zetsuen no Tempest", in the last episode (#24).

I recall hearing the song even in Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).


texts:
At first I thought Killer Bee only used it as a rap gesture.  Later on it was shown as a way to compare and equalize forces between two people. Even later, Naruto was shown doing it with Kurama, to fuse their chakra together.

Does the fist bump have any special meaning? I doubt it originated in Japanese culture or mythology, so where did it come from?


texts:
I've been wanting to try and get into Touhou. However, just looking at Wikipedia, there is a crap ton of games and most seem to be for very old systems; they aren't listed in chronological order by store (rather, by release date).

So, I'm wondering: Is there is a game/anime/manga which is in English, in one form or another with games, it would be either official English releases or fan translation patches; anime would be either English dub or sub; and manga either localized or scanlation), which would be a good entry point into the series?


texts: What is the origin of the title "Ghost in the Shell"?

texts:
The anime series Ghost in the Shell has a Japanese name which can be transliterated as "Mobile Armored Riot Police"; from Wikipedia:

  Ghost in the Shell (攻殻機動隊 Kōkaku Kidōtai?, literally "Mobile Armored Riot Police")

It's clear to me that the English name of "Ghost in the Shell" is far, well, cooler than "Mobile Armored Riot Police". But why was this particular name chosen? What are its origins, and what significance does it have in the series (if any)?


texts:
I have been reading some Boku no Hero Academia and in some chapters (only very few) there have been panels, which looked like sketches and not like the rest of the manga. Since it were only single panels, I didn't think much of it. But while reading chapter 182, there have been whole pages like that (s. picture below).

Did the artists run out of time and so, they weren't able to complete all pages? Or is there a different reason for this?

   )


texts:
I was wondering if in the novel we knew about some deaths occurring before Kayaba announcement. I remember that in the anime, Kirito plays a bit with Cline before realizing that the log off option has disappeared. Then all the people are summoned to the city and learn about the fact that if they die in the game, they also die in real life.

I don't remember any players dying before the announcement in the anime, except for those who are not waking up and their relative pulling off their NerveGear thus causing death, but maybe in the light novel, some guys died without even knowing it just while being defeated by a mob (which seems awful for me).

Do we know about some players dying before that while thinking they are still in a normal game?


texts: Why is she throwing water on the ground?

texts:
So if seen this happen in a few anime's before, but never really understood why it happens.

A character with a wooden spoon like object and a bucket of water throws water on the ground during summer.  Why are they doing this?


texts: What happened in the last arc of spice and wolf season 2?

texts:
I have a couple of doubt about what happened in this arc.

In the anime, the merchant Eve decided to get revenge against the church by plotting something.
And that something should be: buying a lot of fur and then sailing somewhere in order to get big profit.

I actually don't get how the two things are related.

Also Lawrence at the end said she was going to commit a suicidal act, so this makes me wonder if she actually planned to use the money for something else.


texts: What's the name of the song that played in the last few minutes of episode 13 of Charlotte?

texts: In Dragon Ball Super Broly there are some scenes where characters are scanning other warriors for power levels with scouters. But since the movie is only in japanese for now, it's hard to know if there are power levels mentioned in the movie. Are there power levels mentioned in Dragon Ball Super Broly?


texts: What anime/manga is this girl wearing a red beret from?

texts: I wanna know who this character is for my friend.


texts: Doesn't the rule "When two Teigu users battle, one is guaranteed to die" create plot holes?

texts:
Unmarked Spoilers.

There are several fights in the second half of the anime between Teigu users who both walk away alive after the battle. The rule that was established,

  namely, that if two Teigu users fight each other, one of them is guaranteed to die,

seems to create many plot holes. (The list is of examples and is not supposed to be exhaustive.)

Wave and Tatsumi fight (actually Wave beats Tatsumi)
Leone and Run in the royal palace.
Bols vs Leone and Akame
Kurome vs Leone and Mine

Is this the case, or is there some reason given in the anime that explains this apparent contradiction?


texts:
In Code Geass: Akito the Exiled, the character Ryou wears five colored badges on his outfit.

His article on the Code Geass Wiki says nothing about this. What do these badges signify?


texts: Kobato has a mission to fill a mysterious bottle with people's healed hearts. However, it wasn't explained in the anime as to why she has this mission or her origin. Wikipedia doesn't seem to know anything about it as well so I'm curious if CLAMP ever mentioned her story before she came collecting jar of hearts and why she had that wish to go to a certain place. Or was her story featured in any of the CLAMP's multiverse or in the manga?


texts: Where is it mentioned in the manga that the protagonist has a time limit to change back?

texts:
I read somewhere (can't google now) that the protagonist of Sora wo Kakeru Yodaka only has 200 days to retrieve her body, else the change is permanent.

I re-read the first chapters (thanks the author for the furigana), and there is some character saying that in 200 days all the cells in your body are replaced, so you are entirely another person after that time.

But where is that comment linked to the body change, I could not find.


texts: Does an Oedipus the King manga actually exist?

texts:
In episode 2 of Terror in Resonance, Lisa is shown reading a manga that depicts the events of Oedipus the King. Does such a manga actually exist?

A preliminary search in English didn't give anything useful, and it's pretty likely that this manga might have been invented for the sake of the anime, tying into the other allusions to the work (which seem to be relevant to the plot, but since I'm only on the second episode, I can't tell yet).

But since I enjoyed the play, I'd like to ask just in case there is such a manga, and if my searches just didn't work out.


texts: How can I see if legal anime subs are available in a certain language for streaming?

texts:
I'd like to watch anime (legally) with French subtitles (while not in a French-speaking region), since I'm trying to improve my French. How can I easily see anime that has French subtitles available legally? Some sites (namely Crunchyroll) have non-English subtitles, but it's impossible to see whether or not a specific series has those non-English subtitles available until I get to the episode page (or possibly a page for the series - I'm not completely sure).

I would like to be able to have sort of list to see whether or not I can watch anime X in language Y (or possibly at least have some way to know this without looking at specific entries for each series). How can this be done? With some languages such as English or Chinese it's generally pretty simple, but with others it doesn't seem as clear.


texts: Does Near want to use the death note for himself?

texts:
Tsugumi Ohba, writer of Death Note, said that Near "becomes less likeable" as the story advances, citing Near's plan to take the notebook at a later point in the story. Ohba said that a negative reaction originated from "the difference in their attitudes" and that people may have viewed Near as "a cheat." Ohba added that Near's "cheeky behavior," intended to "reinforce his childishness," had been construed as "annoying."

I don't know what this quote from Ohba means. Does this mean Near wants to use the Death Note for himself? Can someone please explain this to me?


texts: Was there truly no magic in Sword Art Online?

texts:
In the first episode, when Kirito was showing Klein the ropes of combat, the conversation goes

Kirito: However, there is no magic.
Klein: An RPG without magic? That is a bold decision.

However later on in the show, Kirito visits Lizbeth's shop in Temperature of the Heart.. Kirito is in shop for another sword, and shows Lizbeth his Elucidator.
Lizbeth responds with:

An Elucidator! This is the gnarliest magic sword a person can get from a monster drop.

If magic did not exist, how would there be a magic sword?


texts:
I've only seen part of the first season of Fairy Tail (up to the end of the lullaby flute battle with the Erigor and that Dark Guild). More specifically, I'm on the episode right after when Natsu and Happy steal the job for the cursed island off the upstairs board at the guild hall.

In the past battle over the Daybreak book, Natsu fought a pair of mercenaries who said that wizards spend so much time harnessing their minds that their bodies are weak, which is their weakness, but after fighting Natsu and his dragon-slayer magic they saw how powerful he was physically.

Exactly how durable is Natsu? Does it scale specifically off of how much fire he has absorbed? Or is his body just naturally tough from training directly under a dragon?


texts: Log Horizon: do some Landers know that their world used to be just a game where they were NPCs?

texts:
Adventurers, for obvious reasons, never tell.

Landers, very conveniently, never ask - or never ask too much.

Not even the ones depicted as knowledge-hungry.

Not even when Adventurers let slip terms such as "NPC", "real life/world", "game", etc.

Yes, Landers can be very curious sometimes, but I don't remember hearing them asking embarassing questions about the Adventurers' world, questions that may lead to the unspokable topic. Not even Regan, Lenessia, or

   Rudy.

Are there, in the Log Horizon franchise, Landers which [discovered | were told | figured out | whatever] about Elder Tale?

Do some of them know the "uncomfortable truth"? I.e. that, in the world where Adventurers come from:

"Adventurers" are not "Adventurers" at all, they don't have special powers, they just played a game in which they killed monsters for fun, sitting on a chair and clicking buttons on a machine
Theldesia is just the fictional setting of that game, where Landers are  fictional, computer-controlled characters.

It would be interesting to see how they reacted to this shocking revelation.

Note 1: I only watched the two seasons of the "Log Horizon" anime.
If the answer would contain spoilers for additional material, please direct me to that additional material (if it is available in English, since I don't speak Japanese).

Note 2: just realize that "Adventures don't treat us like real people" is necessary but not sufficient for what I'm looking for. This because realizing this is not so hard: in fact, before the Catastrophe, Adventurers did not look like real people to the Landers as well (so probably the "Welcome to the village of Arb" joke in season 1 episode 5 could be true also from the Landers' POV). I'm looking for at least a Lander who knows something like "Adventures don't treat us like real people because they used to see us as fictional characters in a game, the so-called heroes were just playing make-believe to escape boredom". This is a completely different animal.

Note 3: The fight between Papus and Elias Hackblade goes near to what I'm looking for, but I still don't think that's what I'm looking for. Papus says to Elias that he (Elias) is fictional, Elias is horrified, but it's not clear if he's horrified by the revelation, by that ugly monster or by the magic the monster he's casting on him. Anyway, Kanami treats Elias as real, but then the scene is cut and we don't know what happens next (at least in the anime).
According to the wiki entry for Papus (beware of spoilers!!!), he has a special power that causes Landers to believe they are fictional. I don't care about what the Genius think about Landers, and I don't care if Landers are fictional or real people. I care if there are Landers who will believe what the Genius say, and if this will bring them to discover that Adventurers were just roleplayers, and how this will change their relationship with Adventurers. (Note that Elias is a perfect example of Lander that did not react or ask questions when Kanami and her friends used words like "NPC", "playing", "game", "real life", etc. No, I don't think he already knows the truth about Elder Tale just because he's on the Elder Tale box).


texts:
So, I just watched episode 1 of the Promised Neverland. Looks like a lot of potential.

Question: How did Norman and Emma possibly not get seen as they left the gated area?

You can clearly see, by the position of the characters at timestamp 18:43 in episode 1, that this should have been impossible.

I am trying to watch this and this is minor but I hope it is just a mistake on the animation side and not some sign towards a lack of attention to detail of this manga.


texts: Why could Ymir read the can, but Reiner could not?

texts:
While watching episode 29, we saw that Ymir could read the letters on the can, but Reiner could not. Why?

Manga spoiler:

   As far as I remember, both Ymir and Reiner are Eldians. So should they not both be able to read the letters on the can? What language is supposed to be on it? Why can Ymir read it, but Reiner could not?


texts: Exactly who was Marcelo? In Ghost in the Shell SAC episode 7, we see that the major and co were chasing after him to know exactly what business he had entering Japan, but they never explain what happens, more specifically why did Sec9 allow him to just roam freely. Isn't he a notorious drug lord?


texts: Are 3DCG-based animes cheaper to produce?

texts:
I've been noticing that CG in anime has becoming more popular. Recently, I've watched several shows that have almost fully 3D animation.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel and Knights of Sidonia:

I've also noticed it appearing to smaller effect in parts of other shows, such as Girls Und Panzer, when the focus is not directly on the characters:

It seems that primarily mechanical objects are done with 3D technologies as the measurements are exact. This doesn't surprise me, but human characters are notoriously hard to do with computer graphics - see the Uncanny Valley . For this reason I would have thought making 3d anime characters (who don't even have normal human proportions) would be expensive to do right.

Is the reason anime companies are starting to use this technique more for characters, that it has become cheaper to implement? Or is there another reason for this slowly increasing popularity?


texts: What is this time machine gag referencing?

texts:
I just recently started watching Gintama and am beginning to love it!
I just want to know if the joke is referring to another anime. Also, if there is any reason at all on why it must be a vending machine.

I believe this is the first time he did it.

The reason this particular joke catches my interest is because it kept on reoccurring. The second reason is because time travelling anime like Steins;Gate is awesome. Even though it might not be the same.
I just had to ask this question after the third time they used this joke on the 10th episode, though it was not Gintoki and the alien character wants to enter a car's boot/trunk.


texts: How does the travel works in One Piece universe?

texts:
I have noticed that traveling between and within the oceans in the One Piece world isn't easy.

However, the Marines and some advanced pirate crews/alliances commute daily between the oceans. To be more specific, here are a few examples to demonstrate what I mean:

The Marines travels between every oceans they want. By using Seastone on their ships, they can easily travel through the Calm Belt and switch between the Grand Line/New World and all Blues. Because the Marines is a member of the World Government, they can also pass the Red Line via Mary Joa.

However, the Seastone technique (Episode 410) is a new invention from Dr. Vegapunk. How did the Marines travel through the Calm Belt so easy before that? Another example in episode 502-503: How did a World Government ship travel from the Grand Line to East Blue 10 years ago when Seastone technique hadn't been invented?
In Luffy's past, Shanks was in the East Blue, then in the Battle of Marine Ford, he was again in Grand Line, etc.

Same for Whitebeard. One time, Whitebead was in the Grand Line, then in the East Blue, and then again in the Grand Line, etc.

How do Shanks and Whitebeard manage to travel between the Grand Line and the Blues on daily basis? Do Whitebead, Shanks and other Pirates also use Seastone like the Marines?
And what about Monkey D. Dragon? One time, Dragon was in the East Blue. Here, he was again in the Grand Line.

So I hope you see what my question is. I'm especially curious about the daily switching between the Grand Line/New World and Blues. As I know, the only way to enter the Grand Line is via the Reverse Mountain, which isn't the most harmless way as you can see in episode 61. Does that mean that every time Whitebeard and Shanks want to go to the Grand Line, they have to pass this small river with their gigantic ships?

Apart from getting to the Grand Line, how do they leave the Grand Line/New World? According to the maps, there is no way to get out. How did Krieg leave the Grand Line?


texts: What are the exactly the powers of Athena?

texts:
From what I recall from Saint Seiya, Athena is basically a helpless girl kind of feeling the place of damsel in distress which drives the story forward, with the knights protecting or rescuing her.
However she’s also described as a god. I don’t recall any godlike powers or actions coming from her but I saw the anime on the 90s so my memory may be off.
What are her powers? Is she a real god or is she something else?
I seem to recall in some part of the anime (movie or something) they fight Poseidon and he is actually a real adversary, a real god with powers or something.


texts: Is there a real version of "Understanding People's Feelings" series (the book series Sai reads)?

texts:
The character Sai, reads a book which has stuff like

  The bond between 2 people increases when you give them a nickname.

And

  When a woman feeds you, it is a clear sign that she likes you.

I want to read this book if it has a real version, or something close to it.


texts:
First of all, I'd like to say, that I did not see Log Horizon 2nd season, so if answer should contain any spoilers, just direct me to watch Log Horizon 2.

Shiroe explained, that new datadisk was released pretty much the same time as the Apocalypse happened. That datadisk, apart from others, increased level cap to 100. There also were guilds, which were buying EXP pots from such bad guilds as Hamelin in order to progress faster. But, in the whole season 1, I did not notice anyone having level higher than 90. Is getting EXP such slow (past 90) in Elder Tale, or am I missing something? I did not even see anyone's EXP bar, but leveling is definitely possible, since Minori's team managed to get few levels in main class.


texts: What is this anime about a gloomy girl with black hair liking a popular boy at her school?

The anime is about the girl liking a popular boy at her school
Everyone, except for the popular boy and 2 other people, runs away when they see the girl


texts: Who are "those guys from Season 4" that Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series references?

texts:
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series stand-alone video Pharaoh's Throne, Yami Yugi sings the lines:

♪ Not for nothing but your nonsense is kind of a bore ♪
♪ I was more intimidated by those guys from Season 4 ♪

While the lines are very clever-sounding and inherently funny IMO even without context, I am curious as to who it is referring to.  Who are "those guys from Season 4" that the song references who are apparently a joke?  Unfortunately, the YGO:TAS is a very extensive series at this point, and I am not familiar with all of the episodes.


texts: "Wish" in the credits of Code Geass and Steins;Gate?

texts:
I've recently started watching anime. I've watched Code Geass R1 and R2 and now I've just started Steins;Gate. I was surprised to see that in both series' ending credits the word "Wish" appears between the Japanese characters in a similar font, since it's the only one or one of the few words in English.

This is a screenshot from Code Geass R2's credits showing what I mean

Does it have any special meaning?


texts:
Why can't Tobi attack while he is dodging an attack using his Jikūkan Ninjutsu ?

  what Tobi actually does is warp away the part of his body that was being attacked to the other dimension.

During the entire anime it is portrayed that Tobi cannot attack while using Jikūkan Ninjutsu because his attacks will pass right through the target.   But while Kakashi was in Tobi's space-time dimension, he managed to punch him, thus indicating that Tobi wasn't intangible.
Is there any explanation or any theory on this matter ?


texts: Was it ever stated canonically that Itachi was already dying when he fought Sasuke?

texts:
Has it ever been confirmed in any official source whether Itachi was dying from some sort of terminal illness when he decided to fight his brother?

I seem to remember White Zetsu commenting during the fight that Itachi was unable to dodge certain attacks which he should have been able to dodge.

Has there been a confirmation of this?

How was he able to do that?


texts: How do they decide if a tank is eliminated or not?

texts:
In Sensha-dou, if the tank gets hit and is unable to continue the battle, it will raise a white flag. However, there are some cases when the tank got hit but still no flag raised. Here are some example:

When the Duck Team (volleyball club team) hit St. Gloriana's Matilda tank, they hit it twice on close range but no flag. But when the Hippo Team hit the same type of tank once, that tank got flag.
In OVA, when Ooarai Girls High School fought with Anzio High School, their Carro Veloce got hit several times, but still continued their battle. They just flipped their tank again.
There was several cases when the rack got hit and came loose, but there was no flag and they fixed it right away. (None of their opponents seem to attack their tanks)
Some other cases that I'm aware of probably because of their thick armor like Kuromorimine Girls High School's Mauss

Note: Most tanks only need one hit to raise a flag.


texts: What are the "tentacles" coming out of people's heads?

texts: In the alternate world (which almost the entirety of the show takes place in) of Super Dimension Century Orguss, everyone has 2 "tentacles" that come out of their heads. Aside from the occasional using them to move objects or press buttons, what's their purpose?

texts: What are the difference between Koro-sensei and other tentacle creatures?

texts:
Koro-sensei and tentacle-having humans (e.g. Itona) have a drastic difference in their bodies: Koro-sensei's body is made up of tentacles wholly, whereas Itona has his human body along with a tentacle.

Are there any differences between the no. of the tentacle cells infused? If yes, it's a fact that even a single tentacle cell can cause death like pain, then how did Koro-sensei survive that much pain?

texts:
Throughout the series, it's stated a number of times that Sachiko hates men, because both her father and grandfather had mistresses. However, in the second OVA episode, when Lillian's Yamayuri Council goes to meet the Hanadera Student Council, Sachiko seems to lose her composure and ends up fainting.

Later in the episode, she says that it was because of the heat. However, her facial expression seems more pained when they meet the Hanadera Student Council, especially when Alice goes to hug her. Also, in the next episode, she seems to be struggling while Yumi is gone.

I am wondering if Sachiko actually hates men, or if there is something else that is causing her to look like she's in pain.


texts:

texts: How did the girls' team manage to shut down Sora's driving skills?

texts:
In the starting episodes of Ahiru no Sora, it was shown that Sora had excellent drives and dribbling skills also along with shooting skills (when he played 5-on-1).

Now in these episodes, he is just a good shooter and does not show those skills at all. When they played Shinmaruko High, I can understand it was blocked due to his shooting from a side was weak.

However, when the boys played against the girls' team, how did the girls' team manage to shut his driving skills? It's a little awkward to me.

I have only watched till the anime has aired, so please hide the spoiler if it refers to future references.


texts: What's the name of an anime with a girl who lives in a farm and takes care of these animals which are like Komodo Dragons?

texts:
The girl has green hair. There's some kind of musical instrument in the anime, like a flute or something. She lives in a farm and takes care of these animals which are then used for war as mounts.

I started watching this anime a long time ago but stopped midway, so now I want to finish the rest of it. If someone here can help me, I'll be very grateful :)


texts: Does anyone know the name of this song in Episode 3 of Nana?

texts: There is a part in Episode 3 of the anime Nana and it is a few seconds long. It is at the part where Nana and Shoji are fighting, and NANA is running and looking for him. It lasts from 20:29 through 20:40. I know it transitions into the song "A little pain", but I listened to the song and it doesn't have a piece like that in it.


texts: Why is Seigi's tattoo described as "triggerless"?

texts:
On multiple occasions, Seigi's tattoo is described as "triggerless" (this is the wording used on Crunchyroll). The first time we hear this is near the end of episode 1, around 22:08. However, when Seigi is talking with Izzy and Tom on the school roof in episode 2, Izzy tells him that his tattoo is triggered by blood.

It hardly makes sense for a "triggerless" tattoo to have a trigger. What's the deal?

(At first glance, this seems like a translation mishap, since the Japanese word in question is mugen, and I don't know of any way to get from there to "triggerless". But perhaps there's a good reason for this - I've only seen 3 episodes of the anime to this point, so I'm not very knowledgable about Taboo Tattoo.)


texts:
What exactly is Tanaka's function in the Phantomhive family? To my understanding from watching season 1 and 2 of the anime, the manga (up to the Phantomhive murders arc) and the OVAs, it seems like he was Vincent's head butler back when he was the head of the house.

But since Ciel has come into power along with Sebastian, his function seems small. In the anime and manga when Sebastian assigns tasks, he always tells Tanaka "The usual will be fine". What does this mean? Can anyone explain?

Why did the guardians break the law by rescuing them? What is wrong with the rescue? Why does it become unlawful? Why didn't the command center plan the rescue beforehand? Where they abandoned there officially?

texts: What are the meaning behind the operation names in Steins;Gate?

texts:
In Steins;Gate , Okarin gives some of his projects operation names, such as "Operation Urd".

He mentions that the names he has given them don't really mean anything, but looking at what the names are referencing, it seems otherwise.

Urd (or Urðr), Verthandi(Verðandi)  and Skuld are a trio of Norns that are described as deciding the fates of people. They represent Past, Present and Future respectively. These reflect the time-travel theme of the show

There are ones that  I haven't been figured out, such as Operation Eldhrimnir (episode 10) and Operation  Valkyria (episode 18). How do these Norse Mythology references fit into the show (and any other ones i may have missed) ?

Sorry for vague question. All I remember is:

School anime
Pretty sure not harem
Funny
Centers on small group of students, both male and female, maybe a club.
Normal, yellow and white, sweater and tee style uniforms.
Short, blonde female character, flat chested. Not a boobilicious anime.
Not a children's anime, crude humor involved.

Please let me know any suggestions at all! :3


texts:
I've been following this walkthrough for Katahane, and I'm do the Angelina Ending, because I brought the game purely to see the romance between Angelina and Belle, however I do plan to get the Wakaba and Coco Endings after (since I'm a completionist).

Are all of the interactions between Angelina and Belle covered in the Angelina Ending? Are there any scenes between them that only viewable in Wakaba's and Coco's Routes?

EDIT: After completing what i think is the Angelina Ending it seems to end abruptly and the Wakaba ending seems to have more of a conclusion to Angelina and Belle, i still got to get the Coco Ending just to check but it seems that maybe the walk through might be lacking with the Angelina ending, also, my friend who made the censor patch said that there are 3 Angelina x Belle H Scenes and the logs state that it's only blocked 2 which she finds strange so she's right now looking though her code just to see if the censor patch blocked and entire section but didn't log it

texts: Was the titan in the last episode of AOT S1 inside of the wall or on the other side? Also about walls origin

texts:
First, is the titan really inside of the wall like being trapped in it or just doing his/its job (lol)? I thought it was on the other side ever since because I have seen many comments/texts using the word "inside" which is very confusing.

Also it was said so far in the anime (currently S2 E6), that walls are (possibly?) made of titans' "crystals" making it pretty much indestructible, so doesn't that mean that titans aren't neccessarily inside of the walls since it would make the plot point a very funny one.

I am also confused as to how the walls are said to be "indestructible" like titans' crystals except certain parts like "entrances/exits", but some titans are seen to be able to pretty much destroy wall parts that are said to be indestructible like how (the collosal titan destroyed some parts of it) not sure if it really did though?

P.S. It's okay to spoil about the origin of the walls in your answers.


texts: How did Kaguya Otsutsuki cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi the first time without the moon?

texts: In the anime, I remember Kaguya coming to Earth and later she castes Infinite Tsukuyomi on the people. But later we are shown that Kaguya is sealed and is formed into the moon. Then what did she cast Tsukuyomi on the first place, as the Infinite Tsukuyomi requires a moon?


texts: In the manga Horimiya, the main heroine always treats her father poorly. Is there a reason as to why she does so? In the latest chapter (57) she states that there is no room for her father in the Kotatsu. In the chapter before, she doesn't give her dad any extra stew. From what I remember, both the mother and Hori treat her father unreasonably, but I don't remember a reason why. Is there a reason, or is it just some kind of running gag for comedy purposes?


texts:
In Shikkoku no Sharnoth -What a Beautiful Tomorrow-, there are multiple references to a place known as Kadath, in Act 9 - Sharnoth of the Darkest Black there are references to Inganock particularly when Robin Funnel is talking to Howard Phillips that he should consider being a "Runner" and makes reference to a bird she knew who was a runner (obviously referring to Ati's partner David), Howard replies that he's not familiar which the occupation but he had heard that it's a Kadathian occupation.

I know that when Seikyou is referenced it refers to known locations of earth as London, New York, France and Germany are bringing in Seikyou, also in Sekien no Inganock -What a Beautiful People- in the chapter where Gii fights one of the spawn if the Blood Tree Youki, Gii comments that John Doe's name is a Seikyouan name for "no one", that John's belief in God is a Seikyouan faith and in parts of the story refers to stuff as being originated from Seikyou like Sandwitches.

Whenever travel to Kadath is mentioned they always talk about airships however it also uses the same term to mention travel to Germany and Rome is done by airship as well but never described what these airships look like or their capabilities, considering the Engine Technology that's used throughout the series it wouldn't be surprising if these airships could also travel space (Inganock was made to be totally independent using Engines to manufacture food and the Street Knight, Crack Chrome was almost entirely made of Engines, there are also references to Engine Humans much like Moran),

so i am wondering, is Kadath a fictional continent on Earth or is it a separate world and if so is it dimensional or another planet


texts: How did the World Government know about the clash between Revolutionary Army and Blackbeard Pirates?

As the recent manga release of One Piece, we all know that Jesus Burgess infiltrated the Revolutionary Army HQ (Baltigo) and reported it to his Captain BB.

My question is how did the World Government know that the Blackbeard Pirates were planning on attacking the Revolutionary Army HQ. we could take note that the one who attack in Baltigo are Cipher Pol, not the Marines.

As I remember, Cipher Pol is directly serving World Government (Nobles). Even if that Information came from marines first. How did they know? Is Aokiji a spy?


texts: Corrupted Grail Fragments inside Sakura, and Illya's heart

texts: Do the corrupted Grail fragments that Zokuen synthesised with his worms which were later placed in Sakura have a direct connection with Angra Mainyu inside the Grail? I know the fragments are the remnants of the Lesser Grail of the 4th HGW and are corrupted because Angra used the Lesser Grail to activate the Greater Grail and unleash his curses but can he control the fraagments after they were implanted inside the worms? And what about Illya's heart which is the Lesser Grail of the 5th war?

Please also post the proof of them being called with their family name and not just quoting their name in Wikia, as the Wikia page currently doesn't have the proof of them being called with their family name (by 29-04-2015 4:20 PM GMT+7 time).

texts: I recently watched the anime but in the end I couldn't remember who the seventh sin was. He was shown as Escanor in the first episode (about 4:43). Is it possible that he isn't showing up in the anime? Or is he impersonated by someone else?


texts: Is there a meaning behind the paintings in Tsubaki Kureha's living room?

texts:
In episode 7 of Yuri Kuma Arashi, I noticed that Liberty Leading the People was hanging on the wall in Tsubaki Kureha's living room:

Here's an image of the full painting:

I get the symbolism of the painting itself, but what's the symbolism it has in the anime?
Or is it just a known painting on the wall?

EDIT:

ʞɹɐzǝɹ pointed out in a comment below that the painting across from that one is Henri Rousseau's The Dream:

Here's the full painting:

So I extend my previous question to this painting too:
Do the paintings have any special symbolism in the anime itself, or are they just paintings on the wall?

texts: What is the song when Sakura sees Naruto's fox form in "Naruto Shippuden" episode 43?

texts:
In episode 43 of Naruto Shippuden, there is a song that is not included (I think) in any of the OSTs. When Naruto

   is stabbed by Orochimaru's long sword and

crashes onto rocks, this song plays when Sakura sees Naruto's fox form.

Also, that song or a similar one can be heard in episode 166 when

   Hinata is stabbed by Pain

which makes Naruto rages

I think it can also be heard in episode 258 or 259 when

   Kisame got interrogated and they almost learned who the guy who calls himself "Uchiha Madara" is.


texts:
I know the title probably needs to be changed, but I wasn't sure how to put it spoiler-free.
The question follows as a block, for its 'spoilery' nature for anyone who hasn't seen Naruto Shippuden up to episode 290.

   In this episode Kabuto summons several shinobi using Edo Tensei. For this jutsu we know that a living body to act as receptacle and a piece of DNA from the one being revived are needed. The summoner will then use a tag to control the summoned soul's personality.
 Kabuto explains to Naruto and Sakura that the water in the "Hole" is so rich that he was able to create life with those weird snakes embedded with Orochimaru's chakra. I assume this means that the body that comes out of the water is the living body that serves as sacrifice. I assume this because Hidan's eyes look like those of the ones summoned by Edo Tensei. And afterwards Kabuto inserts a tag in this Hidan, to control his personality.
 Considering that Hidan was really summoned by Edo Tensei, however, there is the fact that his body does not look 'complete'. But then again, I don't think we've ever seen a naked Edo Tensei summoned body, so we cannot be sure if this is normal or not.

 So basically:
 Is this some weird jutsu that really looks like Edo Tensei?
 Or should we assume that Hidan as died and this was really Edo Tensei? (It is possible that Hidan is dead, if you take into consideration what is explained in this answer)


texts:
Shinji's Walkman (I don't know the exact term in English, but I already know it's a rare cassette player that didn't take off except in Japan), but what I'm interested is the music he is listening on it. (More specifically, the cassette have 26 tracks, and a duration of around 1h30 if I trust my memory of the appearance of the player).
I've re-watched NGE and the RoE:1.01, and the music have a great importance on Shinji's development, but we do not hear enough for any app to recognize it, and the name don't seems to be revealed in the credits.

Did the name of the cassette/compilation/music Shinji is listening to revealed in the show, a interview or any other "official" source?


texts:
In the movie Strong World, Nami sends a message to the crew via Tone Dial which is as follows:

  Please forgive me for being unable to say farewell to you all directly. I have decided to join Shiki's crew as their navigator. Shiki is a legendary pirate who you could never match up to even if you stood up to him. Even if you came after me you would only end up losing your lives. I will say this much, promise you will come rescue me.

Luffy missed to hear the last part: "promise you will come rescue me", but everyone else did hear it and understood it. When trying to explain Luffy, however, Sanji made a statement which caused some confusion. It goes as follows:

  ... Although to me the whole thing sounded like message of love.

This led to confusion as it seemed to be wrongly interpreted that the last part of message implied Nami loved Luffy. I also read somewhere that Nami started to blush when Luffy started playing the Dial, but I didn't see Nami blushing at all (in anime, if someone blushes, their face is shown to be turning red, right?). She did seem to be embarrassed which seemed to be normal. If I were her and someone was going to play a recording in front of everyone which I made when I was in a sad situation, I would definitely not want him to play that because it would be embarrassing.

Nami knew that Luffy won't understand indirect message (she does say she directed the last part specifically to Luffy since he is so dense). I think Nami wanted to indirectly ask the crew to come and save her, but for thick-headed Luffy, she explicitly added the last line. She just wanted Luffy and rest of crew to come and save her, there were no romantic feelings.

I tried to search online if I was right about the message's intent, but couldn't find proper sources.

For example, I found on Wikipedia:

  ...Luffy later learns that Nami's message was actually a coded SOS directed at him that the crew took as a love confession...

Although the above line mentions the crew mistook as a love confession, I don't think so, I think they properly understood the intent of the message. Although, I am not sure what Sanji meant by saying the above line, but it seemed he did understood the real intent.

Are there any sources which exactly tells the true intent of the message and also if the crew (except Luffy) properly understood it?


texts: What are the different knightmare generations?

texts:
In Code Geass, those gigantic machines called Knightmare Frames evolve during the show. It starts with a mere robot that can only carry a gun and it ends with flying machines, shields, and the anime's equivalent of a hydrogen bomb.

So I was wondering, what are the different stages of Knightmares' evolution?


texts: An anime about human protagonists travelling with monsters, among them are a blue wolf, and a big eye on a leg monster

texts:
The anime is about humans and monsters.
The main character has companions which are human and some monsters.
These monsters include one blue wolf with horns and some white fur on his chest (it walks on all four), and another one is this big eye on a leg (light green), with a big tongue. I think the eye monster can roll up to attack the foes.

During the story he fights other people/monsters/animals.
Some of these animals are also wolfs, but have different colors to our protagonist. Some of them are the one legged big eyes, but different colors as well.

I saw it on TV around 2006/7, but it may be older.
Reason I didn't watch it at the time was because it was aired in Irish (which I didn't speak, or in Japanese with Irish subtitles).

texts: Old mecha anime with white winged aliens

texts: I have vague memory of an old (maybe 70's or 80's, it is very old) mecha anime TV show or movie that involved winged aliens and one scene in particular where the main guy is with an alien girl in a field of flowers and when the wind blows the flowers change colors. There was some robot martial arts action, too.

Kuzan/Aokiji was once an Admiral of the World Government. After he lost in the battle for the Fleet Admiral position he left the marines and wander around on its own. And eventually a shocking news shock the World Government. Kuzan joined forces with

   Blackbeard pirates

which is regarded as a traitor to the government when he abuses his position as a Shichibukai.

  Question: Why did he joined forces with the pirate group which is a traitor and a threat to the government? Does he not believe in justice anymore in the World Government?

texts: What does it mean when an anime character has small eyes?

texts:
As we know, the Japanese have smaller eyes than western people, apparently as the result of an evolutionary adaptation against snow-blindness. But in anime, the Japanese draw everyone with big eyes. If an American cartoon were to draw a character with small eyes, it probably would mean they're Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc. Though sometimes, anime have characters with small eyes.

What does it mean for them? Does it mean the character is from a specific area, or that they're old?


texts: Was "Death Note" supposed to end at episode 25/chapter 58?

In opening 10 of Fairy Tail at 1:15 we see Mavis and Zeref walking towards each other.

(That's the speculation on my part.)

Please watch the opening of Fairy Tail, Number 10 here first before answering my question so you have a better understanding on what I am asking in my question.

Answers are appreciated.

My theory is that the hooded man might be someone new who was also working behind the scenes, but didn't make himself known as Obito and Madara had done or could be someone already introduced as a part of the Uchiha, it could be Madara, or Danzo. So, perhaps even the masked guy isn't Uchiha.

So who do you think it could be?

texts: What is the source of Sanji's flame power?

texts:
I recently came up with a theory that Sanji might get a power because all his siblings did, even though he was called a dud. I was then watching One Piece Film: Gold and remembered how his flames didn't make any sense. Could his flames have come from his father's experiments?

He did say in Enies Lobby that he got heated up when he was mad and his powers related to fire keep growing a bit stronger than friction should be able to make. His siblings had powers similar to devil fruit users, so the more powerful Sanji's flames become, the less I believe it is natural (by natural I mean through Haki and friction).

What do you think?


texts: What is this anime that has a strange flying sun totem?

texts:
I don't think the one I watched is a full episode or something. It should be a trailer, and I assume it is an anime because I watched it on a VCD of a magazine about manga/anime.

I watched it during 2000-2003 if I didn't remember it wrong. But it doesn't necessarily mean that the show is a 2000-2003 production. The magazine should be older than the month I watched it.

The background of the anime seemed pretty dark. I remember a flying sun totem (not sure if it flew by itself or was the face of something else) appearing in different places and in each place there are characters fighting. And the character on the sun totem's side (I assume) always won and killed the other -- an invasion maybe.

The flying sun totem looks a bit like this pic: abstract flare around the circle, and a face (but filled up the circle part in that anime).

Sorry for giving unclear information about the anime. The only thing that still impresses me is the strange flying sun totem.

Update:

The totem was in yellow or similar colors, and was larger than the characters.


texts: So we all know that Sasuke does not have an arm. And after his fight, Sakura was saying something about making an arm out of Hashirama's cells. Thing is—Sasuke has the Rinnegan, and knows how to use it. So, he can use the Asura Path technique to get a new arm. So what was the need for an arm made of Hashirama's cells anyway? Why did they make one for Sasuke if he can get a new arm himself? And why is Sasuke missing an arm in the first place? He should have had his own new arm by now.


texts:
When Genjimaru escapes with Sakuya and intends to give her to Hakuro (as a hostage in exchange for Hakuro's trust and help stopping Kuuya), it's revealed that before the escape Genjimaru had cut the tendons on Sakuya's legs so she couldn't walk, thus being unable to escape Hakuro and being the perfect hostage for him.

The final scene shows Sakuya and the still regressed Kuuya outside. However, no scene has shown Sakuya having walked at all after she is left with Hakuro. This final scene and the scenes with only Sakuya and Kuuya show only the two of them and no third person who could have carried Sakuya.

So I am wondering if Sakuya ended up being healed at some point, or if Kuuya was carrying her all this time.


texts: Is the end of Honey and Clover Season 2 the end of the series?

texts:
Warning! Spoilers ahead.
The final season of Chica Umino's Honey and Clover ended with Yuuta Takemoto eating a literal honey-and-clover sandwich made by his love interest Hagumi Hanamoto. He was crying as he ate it and said the lines (which made me tear up, just like the other moments of the series):

I’d been wondering whether there is a meaning to a failed love… Is something that disappeared the same as something that never existed? But now I know there is — There was a meaning right here.. Because despite the heartbreak, I’m still glad that I fell in love with you.
--Yuuta Takemoto (read more)

I wonder if Umino made the end a cliffhanger, an open-ended one or if there is a theory out there in the Internets that could shed a light into this. Do you guys know anything post-season 2?

texts: Why didn't Sphinx upload a new video to evacuate the people from the airport?

texts:
I'm watching Terror in Resonance, the airport episode. Sphinx goes through a lot of trouble to find the hidden bomb - even risking their own identities. Their intention is to keep everyone away from harm.

Why don't they just upload a new video literally saying "we're gonna blow up the airport"?

At this point, Sphinx has gained so much media influence that it would instantly go viral (just like with their previous videos). The airport (and anyone else) would most certainly take such video seriously and evacuate.

This way, there would be no casualties, which is what they want. The bomb would still detonate and cause several structural damages, but that would not be anything new or surprising considering Sphinx literally blew up a skyscraper in the first episode anyway.

In other words, does all the other world customer come from the same world, or do they come from many different worlds?

I notice that some do come from the same world, like the Princess Victoria and the Great Mage Artorius. But does Princess Victoria share the same world with Kuro?


texts: Why and how did South Park use music from Eureka seveN?

texts:
I noticed this some 12 or so years ago when the episode first aired, but South Park uses a snippet of "Uncontrolled Self" from Eureka seveN during the train chase scene with Britney Spears, and then immediately pivots to another song once they enter the closet. I could only find a snippet in Español, and the music is barely audible in this dub (it's very loud in the English dub). Here's the clip:

https://youtu.be/EAzmw6umxUQ?list=PLpabzom3lBLGjJNU8CRxlrV7IbBnRPoYT&t=142

And here's the moment in Uncontrolled Self that they pulled from:

https://youtu.be/4lLAPgZN4tI?t=25

Using ViewSync, this becomes completely apparent:

https://viewsync.net/watch?v=EAzmw6umxUQ&t=142&v=4lLAPgZN4tI&t=25&mode=solo

Do both South Park and Eureka seveN pull inspiration from the same classical music? Is this song copyleft audio freely available? Or did South Park Studios just rip it to put it in the episode?


texts: Is Nadia voluntarily inspired by Castle in the Sky?

texts:
It is pretty obvious that Nadia and Castle in the Sky shared a lot of their basic premise: both of them feature a girl who owns a mysterious glowing blue pendant, meets a boy who is interested in flying machines, and is chased both by a small pirate band and a sizeable military power. Other similarities are pretty obvious once one has seen both.

Was that level of similarity in Nadia due to a conscious or inconscious influence from Castle in the Sky? Did it come from a common origin?


texts: Why was it the Junker that proved to Yumemi that she was "malfunctioning"?

texts:
In episode 5 of planetarian, after

   the crab mech blows the lower half of her body off,

Yumemi tells the Junker (or "kuzuya" / 屑屋; I don't know what the usual translation is) that the reason she believed she was slightly "malfunctioning" is that she kept coming to the conclusion that no people would ever come to see her again. So the Junker's arrival did indeed prove her conclusion to be "faulty".

But the Junker isn't the first person since the war to see her, is he? There's a flashback in episode 1 where we see some old guy telling the Junker about how met "a robot" who I think it is safe to say was Yumemi. Judging from his irritation, Yumemi must've been awake (not asleep/charging), so I would think that Yumemi would remember the old guy.

Is this a plot hole? Or, perhaps, a defect of the anime adaptation?

(planetarian being a small and mostly self-contained work, I think it should be possible to identify whether or not this is a plot hole with a good degree of certainty.)

texts:
I was stalking a forum looking for images to nab to use as wallpapers, and there was a post where posters were claiming characters as their "waifu".

Seeing how it is spelled, I would assume that what they mean is "wife"; however, it seems weird to use the term "waifu" rather than the normal Japanese term for wife (my understanding is that it's "Tsuma" (妻); however, I could be wrong).

So, where did the term "waifu" come from? If I am wrong, and "waifu" isn't what I think it is, could someone explain what it is and where it came from?

texts: How can Naruto characters teleport/disappear?

texts:
In the manga/anime, it appears as if teleportation is very rare. The few we know that gets a little bit explained are, for example, Minato (4th Hokage) and Obito (Tobi).

Despite of this, a lot of characters (mainly in the anime) "disappear" with a flashy exit when they wish. Orochimaru does this a couple of times, including others. Often with a phrase such as "I don't have time to play around with you any more" and then poof, gone!

Is there some explanation to this? Do they use a clone and then run off while the clone says goodbye to the opponent? If that is the case, when do they create the clone?

texts: What was Balalaika doing with the porn videos?

texts:
In Episode 7 of Black Lagoon, Rock and Revy drop in on Balalaika as part of their errands, and find her watching a series of porn videos, which she's either repeatedly rewinding or fast-forwarding through (I can't tell which).
Balalaika doesn't mention why she's sitting through all these pornos, only that she has "15 more to go". It's clearly for work-related reasons, as she takes no pleasure from viewing them and even mutters "Someone shoot me" as Rock and Revy leave, but I'm really not sure what kind of Russian mafia work would involve watching dozens of hours of porn.
What on earth was Balalaika up to? Is it explained in the manga, perhaps? I know it's probably unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but it's really puzzling me.

There seems to be some kind of silly pun in play here, but I couldn't make out what it was. What contortion of the Japanese language led Miss Monochrome to think dressing up as a bear would make her an action figure?

texts: Was this really the original American/English-language opening/intro to Sailor Moon? If so, why was it so heavily changed?

texts:
Original Japanese intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WdSzmL80eE
Swedish intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2tQKejS9Fo
American/English intro (if true): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxjlcUw1Wkw
Having never heard or seen the American/English version, I was shocked and in disbelief when I looked up what appears to be the English/American version of the intro.
Not only does it contain a weird intro part not even seen elsewhere, but it announces main characters which only join very late in the series, right away in the intro for the first episode. If this is true, that is. I looked through numerous videos and couldn't find a different "original" intro in English/for the USA audience.
Why did they so heavily change the already perfect intro sequence and opening theme like that? I'm really dying to know.
The Swedish version (which I grew up with and thus included as a reference) only has very minor changes from the Japanese original. For example, when the three girls fly toward the camera as silhouettes, in the original Japanese version, they never get "light" shone on them, but in the Swedish (and American) ones, they "light up" when they get close to the camera. But that's a very minor detail compared to the entire re-cut American/English one, which also has changed the theme song entirely.
Wasn't the point of importing this very Japanese show to the West to keep the look, sound and atmosphere, rather than changing it all around? I mean, wasn't there already a wealth of American-origin animated shows? Why did they have to change around Sailor Moon like this?
This is neither a rant nor really me being "upset". I'm just baffled by this decision and feel as if I'm missing some major understanding about this world since they changed it like this for the American/English-speaking audience. I'm not sure, but I believe that they didn't touch the show itself. (Perhaps they did, though. I can imagine that certain shots where you see the underpants of the girls when they jump around might have been cut away.)
I'd love to hear if there are any interviews or reliable sources discussing what could've justified this decision to so completely change the opening theme and intro cut. Even if the answer is that it had to attract a very different audience who expects things to be a certain way, it still doesn't explain why they would introduce characters from far into the series right away.
I almost wonder if this can really be the original intro, or if it's consistently mislabeled, and this is for season three or something instead?

At which point was it shown that Shanks and Buggy were in Gol D. Roger's crew?

I searched the One Piece Wikia and it was not clear. My friend is in Alabasta arc and I am afraid of spoiling. I don't know if this was already shown...

After perfectly timing the Release from Kushina Uzumaki's body, Tobi attacks the village using Kurama, the Nine Tails, in chapter 501.

Why did Tobi suddenly decide to use Kurama to attack the village? He was going to need Kurama for his 'Moon plan' as well. So why did he not just take it and leave?
