texts: How strong is Trunks in Dragon Ball Super?

texts:
One of the last episodes of Dragon Ball Super raised me this question.

Trunks fights alongside Goku against Black and Zamazu in Super Saiyan 2 state. But how strong he really is? In the fight Goku is Super Saiyan Blue and black Super Saiyan Rose, but he is able to score some succesful punches/attacks to Black and Zamazu, even though it doesn't hurt them. At the beginning of his appearance in Dragon Ball Super he is shown to fight Dabura. Later he is knocked in a training match against Goku Super Saiyan 3 (did he have a zenkai boost there?), and later he is knocked by Vegeta when training with him in Super Saiyan Blue (did he have another zenkai boost there?). And I've heard that in the manga he's a match for Goku in Super Saiyan 3, plus some mental training he has made since his appearance. Is Trunks now stronger than a Super Saiyan 2, may be at the level of a Super Saiyan 3? Or is he fighting alongside Blue and Rose super saiyajins just a plot-hole?  We've seen a super saiyan 2 can be at the level of a super saiyan 3 already when Beerus tell to Vegeta that he made he uses more of his power in his fight (1% he says) than Goku in Super Saiyan 3.


texts: What happened to everyone else after the ending of Death Note?

texts:
I am not sure if I have asked this question before but deleted it, but I was just wondering if Matsuda and the other detectives found out that

 Light died

If they did:

Would they have made an investigation to see if somebody else had a Death Note and wrote his name in it?

Did they think that he wrote his own name with the paper he had from the Death Note?

Did they think that Ryuk wrote his name in the Death Note?

Or did they just go back to their regular lives, and

 tell Misa and Light's family that Light was Kira and that he died?

Those are the only options I have in my head, so I was just wondering if any of those options happened.


texts: Is this an animation error, or just bizarre character design?

texts:
While rewatching The Flowers of Evil, I noticed this character in episode 2:

The character on the left struck me as very odd - she's wearing braids (which would normally suggest a female character), but she also has sideburns, which seem to be more or less only something men wear. (I'm assuming the character is female from the voice actor who plays at that moment.) Moreover, if the character weren't female, it would be odd for a school to allow him to wear braids.

Reddit suggests that this character also appears in the manga, so is this just intentional character design, rather than an error in the art? If so, who is this character, and is there anything (e.g. personality traits) that might explain this odd hairstyle? (I have not read the manga yet, and so can't easily look this up.)

Update: I remembered seeing some video footage of the live-action filming that the rotoscoped animation was apparently from on YouTube, so I might try to dig that out to see if I can get a better idea of what's going on here. On a second glance the braids struck me as a bit odd in terms of the shaping of their ends (one usually expects the hair to thin out somewhat and possibly curve a bit), so it occurred to me that this might be useful.

Update 2: After reading the entire manga, I couldn't find a character with identical design. (From the uniform -- notice that the character here wears a bow, instead of a tie -- it seems certain that they're probably female.) However, I did notice a presumably female character with very short hair (for a girl) that was in the corresponding chapater of the manga. I don't remember if the character was wearing a female uniform but will look it up later when I have time.


texts: In episode 46 of Dragon Ball Super, why are destroyers 1, 5 and 8 still there?

texts:
In episode 46 of Dragon Ball Super, only two universes remain. Yet in the beginning, when all the crowd is put closer, one can clearly see 3 extra destroyers.

Why are they still there? Also, there are missing 'angels'.


texts:
In G-Senjou no Maou, Kanon is a world-class figure skater. However, at different points in the story, when asked if she enjoys figure skating, she speaks ambiguously or dodges the question. It's implied at times that she is only doing it because her mother wants her to, but at other times she seems to like it.

What are Kanon's real feelings about figure skating? Is she continuing to pursue it for herself or for the interests of others?


texts:
My question is related to the Nasuverse in general.

I was wondering if Shiki is able to kill Servants using his Chokushi no Magan.

Tell me, what tools and techniques were used to draw the old anime, for example, this:

What interests me is with what instrument and on which paper the character and background were drawn, how they were combined. The whole production process from the technical side.


texts: Why does Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle use the same characters as Card Captor Sakura?

texts:
In the anime Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, the main characters have the same name and look like as the characters of Card Captor Sakura.

How was this why is that? Are they allowed to use to use other characters of other anime?


texts: Help me find this old bloody anime fantasy movie

texts:
I have been looking for an anime movie I saw a long time ago for many years now and would be grateful for any help. It was a fairly bloody and graphic movie in a dark style and included female nudity (exposed breasts) and at least one scene with an attempted rape.

The movie was probably from the 80s or 90s
The protagonist was a woman with some sort of magical power symbolized by the metal bronze. The main villain had the 'gold' power and there was a male character with the 'silver' power who helped the main character in the final battle.
There was one scene where another woman is about to be raped by a guard/warrior and the main character runs in without her top on, kills the guard with some sort of blade and then takes something from the room for clothing.
In her initial battle with the gold villain the main character is killed or at least badly injured but then is revived by some power and goes to fight him again.
The gold villain could change his form and in the final battle turned into some sort of giant dragon like monster before the silver and bronze characters killed him working together.

I saw this movie on DVD and I believe it was dubbed. It was probably rented from blockbuster so it had some sort of American release.


texts: In Saekano S2, why does Kasumigaoka and Sawamura leave Tomoya?

texts: I thought Kasumigaoka enjoyed being with Tomoya? And Sawamura was his childhood friend...


texts:
Near the end of Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing, we see our former protagonist Claus...

   ...in a wheelchair.

Is there any official explanation as to why?  He's never featured in Fam the Silver Wing, so we don't know how this happened from that series alone.


texts: A manga about a girl helping demons but can't touch anyone because of it?

texts:
I remember a scene where a boy is riding a bicycle (?) and he runs into a girl. They both take a tumble, but when he goes to check on her, she is more worried about him. I believe she takes in or helps demons that the guy can't see. For each one she helps, she becomes more powerful, but the power is misfortune (?), I believe.

There is another scene where the demons are checking on the guy when he's taking a bath, and the demons are telling the girl they have seen him naked just to embarrass her.

I recall that she also helps a demon that is a store mascot (?), possibly a panda, and he joins her group. The demons learn that he does a ritual of some sort or has a charm that prevents them for doing any harm.


texts: Can doujinshi get anime adaptations? Also can they become "real" Manga if good enough

texts: Was wondering if doujinshi can get an anime adaptations and become real manga that are officially sold by companies.


texts: In episode 2 of Idolish7, 11:08 the following two music notes appeared as the background where two main character talks in chibi form. The character on the right is embarrassed and walks away. Is the background music score a reference to something?


texts: Which philosopher was Jonathan named after?

texts:
In the last episode, it was revealed that the chickens all shared their names with famous philosophers.

Husserl
Confucius
Roger
Makuzu
Jonathan.

I was able to find most of the references fairly easily, but the origin of Jonathan's name eludes me:

Edmun Husserl, who established the school of phenomenology

Confucius, the very famous Chinese philosopher.

Roger Bacon, a Franciscan friar who placed considerable emphasis on the study of nature through empirical methods.

Tadano Makuzu, a poet and philosopher who wrote important commentaries on Japan's social and political problems.

Which philosopher was Jonathan - presumably the central chicken in the above picture - named after?

I was able to find several philosophers named Jonathan, but most of them are still alive, and much more recent than the other philosophers.


texts: The divergence points for each of the routes?

texts:
Each of three routes has a different series of events and endings. I’ve read that the first few days are the same but then they all diverge. What causes them to diverge exactly? For example, why is Shiro with Saber in "Fate" route and not with Rin? Why does Archer not enact his "kill Shiro" plan in "Fate" and "HF"? likewise, the HF events are vastly different from the first two. Why?

Botton line: What event or lack therof causes the storyline/plot to branch off into three seperate ones: Fate, UBW and HF


texts: What game is Subaru playing with the girls?

texts:
In episode 5 of Ro-Kyu-Bu!, Subaru is trying to build teamwork by playing cards with the team members.

The first shot shown is of cards sequentially placed on the floor. There are some hearts missing.

Then, each player goes around in the circle (they all have one card left except one). In this case, they each passed on their turn, until a fight broke out, and one player was holding two cards: the 5 and 8 of hearts, and was accused of "holding up" the game.

What is this game they're playing (and is it American, Japanese, or otherwise)? And, how was the player with the 5 and 8 of hearts holding it up?


texts: Is Natsu Dragneel "END" in the Fairy Tail anime adaptation?

texts:
So I've heard/read that Natsu is END (Etherious Natsu Dragneel), but in the anime END doesn't get activated. In the manga we see that Zeref's reveals who he/it is, but not in the anime.

Is Zeref going to come back and awaken END (Because I'm sticking with the anime, not the manga)? Or is Natsu END even in the anime? (It could just be Hiiro not sticking with the manga?)


texts: Why couldn't Goku use the Nimbus to rescue the Ox King from the fire?

texts:
At the end of Dragon Ball, when the Ox King was trapped, Goku flew into the fire on the Nimbus and had an extended conversation with the Ox King. Goku's previous demonstrations of strength also implied that he would have no problem lifting and holding on to the Ox King.

I did not read the manga, I only watched the anime. Is any specific reason given or implied why Goku could not have grabbed the Ox King at that time and carried him (either on the cloud or hanging onto him if Ox King could not fit or ride) out of the flames to buy himself and Chi Chi extra time to find a way to extinguish the flames?


texts: Is Eren's Titan in "rage/flame" mode stronger?

texts:
In episode 25, when Eren is fighting Annie, he is seen in what is called "rage/flame" mode (this name is given by fans I believe, though not sure).

Is he supposed to be stronger when he's like that?

texts: 5 Centimeters Per Second: What does the ending mean?

texts:
In 5 Centimeters Per Second, a boy and a girl get separated, and then try to meet with each other.

In the ending, when they are grown up

   The boy sees the girl as they are crossing the train tracks. They are interrupted by trains. The boy waits for the girl, but when the trains pass, she is gone.

Why is that?


texts: What is the point of Chaos;Head if it’s not in the same worldline as the other Science Adventure entries?

texts: I noticed that Chaos;Head’s divergence ratio is different than the one of Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes. What was the point of that series to begin with since nothing basically happened?


texts: Is Chi's Sweet Home 3D a sequel or a reboot?

texts: Is "Chi's Sweet Home 3D" an anime sequel of "Chi's New Address" or is it just a reboot?


texts: Was the continuation of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle ending in manga shown in Kobato?

texts:
In Kobato Episode 20: "...The Travellers", Kobato met Syaoran, Fye, Kurogane and Mokona (all of them looked more mature for me and I think Kurogane and Fye both grew hair). Since Sakura wasn't with them, is it safe to assume that this episode is somehow a sneak peek of the continuation of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle ending in the manga showing their continuous journey?

Where,

   the epilogue ends with Syaoran deciding to go on a journey in order to try and find a way for the soul of clone Syaoran (who is his own father) to be restored to a body, Sakura has revealed that she had a dream which has given her a vision of the future so she can not go on the journey. Apparently in order to escape from the final prison of Fei Wong Reed, Syaoran gave up something. Syaoran gave up being able to settle down in one place so now he's traveling endlessly with Kurogane and Fye (who both decided to go with him) and of course Mokona (their transportation medium).


texts: How was it possible for Sailor Moon to be referenced in Codename: Sailor V?

texts: I just read Codename: Sailor V and there were many references to Sailor Moon (Usagi and the other guardians making cameos, etc.), in spite of the former being created and published first. It was especially prominent towards the end, but Usagi made an appearance pretty early on. I'm interested in knowing what the publication history of Codename: Sailor V was like. And if any edits were made, what they were and when they happened. A timeline of Sailor V and Sailor Moon might also be sufficient to answer the question, if my assumption about edits is incorrect.

texts: What are those weird three-line blushy things on some anime/manga characters cheeks?

texts:
Some anime/manga characters (OR, those inspired by anime/manga) have those weird three-line blushy things on their cheeks. These characters tend to be cutesy and childish.

What are those lines called (a Japanese term would be appreciated)? What exactly are they for? Are they just blushes or something?


texts: Why did Deidara want to kill Orochimaru?

texts:
In the anime it was shown that Deidara was so fixated on killing Orochimaru by himself, he also recklessly attacked Sasuke for killing(!) Orochimaru...

  It was shown that Deidara joined Akatsuki only after Orochimaru left,
  So what could be the reason for his desire to kill Orochimaru by himself?
  Is it said anywhere in story?


texts: What's the origin of spiral glasses as a Japanese stereotype?

texts:
I've noticed - and indubitably, others have, too, as noted on this TV Tropes page - that often, whenever a "nerdy" character wears glasses in anime, they have a spiral shape on them. Examples are easy to find, with popular examples including Saori from Oreimo:

In particular, I became curious upon noticing them in Berserk, on Puck's "business" glasses:

I was just wondering, since this trope seems so ubiquitous in Japanese cultures and rare in others - what is the origin of this design? What about the spiral shape is intended to elicit an aura of "geekiness", and what major origins or influences led to its widespread use today?


texts:
Before the Allied Shinobi Forces HQ was

   Naruto and others have difficulty fighting against Madara and Tobi with no any sign of Nara's strategy.


texts: How sasuke is still able to use curse mark?

texts:
I saw that, Itachi caught orochimaru while coming out of sasuke's cursed mark with his Totsuka sword.

Naruto wiki says below,

  During Sasuke's battle with Itachi Uchiha, he lost the cursed seal, along with Orochimaru (having earlier been absorbed into Sasuke's body), as they were removed with the Sword of Totsuka.

But, How did he use it with susanoo while fighting madara ?


texts: Could the Elric brother's mother have been an alchemist?

texts: What is the other goal Zoro mentions in the Alabasta arc?

texts:
In episode 102, during the Alabasta arc, Zoro says:

  As for why I still stay with him... being by his side all this time's given me another goal to strive for.

Another translation I've seen of this is:

  Since we've been together for so long another purpose is starting to emerge.

This happens around the 9:45 mark during episode 102crunchyroll.

When chopper asks what that goal is Zoro responds:

  Sorry. I don't know how to answer about it.

Chopper should know that Zoro's original goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman. Is the second goal that Zoro mentions but can't explain about making Luffy the king of the pirates or is it something different?

Very confusing, I don't think it was explained.


texts: What's with awkwardness/fear with romance?

texts: Why is it in almost every anime when there is a male main character, Everytime a female main character comes on to him he gets all flustered, scared, or runs away? I mean through a whole series we see tons of huge boobs, panty shots, etc. But when a hot girl or mainly the love interest, tries to hold hands with the guy or kiss or anything of that nature. He always chickens out, or thinks that it's inappropriate or they are interrupted or he's to stupid to get the situation. They can fight monsters and demons but when can't do that? It won't make the character any less Noble. Any why is there the need to ALWAYS have other characters interrupt it or make him to dense to understand the female loves him. Why can't anime creators for once let romance start near the beginning and go smooth instead of towards the end and super hard to get to? It's been this way since anime first started and it's not funny or entertaining anymore.


texts: Has Azumanga Hoshuu Hen been released in English?

texts:
'Azumanga Hoshuu Hen' or 'Azumanga Extra Materials' is a set of three new chapters that were included into a triple volume edition of the normal azumanga manga.

Each new chapter covers one year of high school, with Sakaki, Yomi, Tomo, Chiyo, Osaka, and Kagura.

Were these bonus chapters ever released in English? I own the individual manga books, but I don't know if they were included in a similar english omnibus edition, a separate release or at all

texts: Can a ninja learn a jutsu that lies outside of their own alignment?

texts:
Quite some time ago I got into a... minor argument regarding whether or not a ninja could in fact learn a jutsu to which their natural alignment was not geared toward. I felt you could, but it would be more difficult than it would be for someone whose natural alignment lies with that element. The person I was discussing it with did not. They felt it was impossible for a ninja to learn a jutsu outside of their natural alignment.

I stopped reading Naruto quite some time ago but I was wondering if anything came up that answered that question in one way or another?

In the classic Spectreman, Japanese action series, the ending credits roll while a huge poster of an epic fight between spectreman and a dragon(?) roll, showing Dr. Gori, Karas, amidst a wrecked city.

I tried, googled, and busted my fingers trying to find that image in high resolution, but to no avail.

Tried even some searches in Japanese, but that went to nothing really.

This youtube video shows the closing credits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEBtjKNwZIE

That poster would be epic to have on my wall, so thanks.

In the final episode of Tatami Galaxy, when the protagonist escapes from Shimogamo Yuusuisou, a giant swarm of moths is also let out. That same swarm distracts the crowd that was pursuing Ozu at Kamo-oohashi.

The protagonist himself says (in his role as narrator) that the viewer probably knows what the swarm is, but I could not figure it out. What is the swarm of moths, and why did they protect Ozu?

Do the worldlines exist separately? (since this theory can't be disproved and wasn't at any point as far as we know)

texts: Is there an out-of-universe reason for the Gundam series mech head designs?

texts:
As I watch the shows I am constantly noticing the patterns in the head designs of the mobile suits.

Any true Gundam, or otherwise important mech, will always have two eyes and usually the V horns.
Any generic suit, or one belonging to a more shallow villain, will only have one eye.

Is this any kind of cultural reference?

EDIT

In Unicorn characters say that a mech becomes a Gundam when the horn opens into a V.  As if the V horns are something very specific.

texts:
Why does Harara Hagakure have boobs?  We see them from the beginning of the OVA (meaning, there is never a time that he doesn't have boobs), and the boots of his armor have heels like a set of female armor would.  He's constantly referred to as Kakugo Hagakure's older brother.

Back in those days, strange production things happened, so was it a sudden change in story after the animation had been completed?  Or is this a translation issue? Like Sanji's lolipop, for example.


texts: What is the price does Shinsuke pay for the assistance of the flower god?

texts: The gods in Sengoku Youko are whimsical and often demand a price for their assistance. While the mountain god waived her original price of a soul from the sibling pair (Jinka and Tama). I can't recall what the resolution of Shinsuke's assistance from the flower god (she was a big help for the fight against the cloud god in retrieving the injured). At the end of the series we see the flower god hanging around what is presumably his tombstone.


texts: How does transplanting different sets of Sharingan eyes work?

texts:
I know the details of those eyes, I know their combination gives birth to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. When Madara was almost blind Izuna gave him his eyes, the same thing happened with Itachi and Sasuke.

In these two cases we've seen the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and here comes my question:

In the first case, Madara was "blind" and Izuna had the good eyes, the combination was the Eternal. In the second case, Itachi was "blind" and Sasuke had the full eyes, giving birth to the Eternal. So it's indifferent which eye it's transplanted in the host body? (It doesn't matter that the good eye gets a disadvantaged blind eye?)
As for the main question, how it is realized the "fusion" of 2 different eyes in one eye hole? I don't want to dig myself into the nerve/artery things. I'm interested more likely in the fact that how you mix 2 eyes into one and how the full eye and the blind eye, it's yet so much stronger??


texts: Sending a wrong person due to name mistake to Hell

texts:
I know how the Hell Link works: you submit the name of the person and when you're ready, you pull the thread in exchange for your soul to Hell.

But here's a twisting question. Let's say you hated this person with someone else's name for something he/she had done to you. Then you would type down this name and send that person to Hell. However, this person is still there and somehow, someone else was sent to Hell due to unreasonable hatred even if you haven't met that person before.

Is it possible that those whose identities were stolen by someone else could be sent to Hell even if it's unreasonable hate?

texts: How do Stigmatas and compatibility rate determine how powerful a Pandora is?

texts:
I don't fully understand the way Stigmata works and how compatibility rate factors into all of it. Granted, I am only on chapter 25. Does the number of Stigmata determine how powerful the Pandora is? This seemed to be the case at the start of the manga, where it was stated that 6 is "elite" level and how all the characters emphasize how Kazuha had 20. But then, we see Rana and Satellizer being able to defeat third-years.

I noticed that Chiffon only has 4, but then you have Rana who has 6. Why is the former regarded as stronger if she has less? Is it possible for someone with 1 Stigmata to be stronger than someone with 5? Also, how does the compatibility rate factor into all of this?

I was hoping someone could just clear this up for me.

So if her brother is on the throne, can't that uncle Maurice call some guards or knights and escort her to the palace? There are no enemies at the palace, so why hide her for four years?


texts: I recently finished watching Clannad and the ending song is about dango and Nagisa, the one that wanted to start the drama club up again, always seems to be talking about or drawing dango. But, what exactly is a dango? We know it's a food of some sort because the main male character goes and buys them from a gas station and then Nagisa eats them, but what exactly makes a dango a dango and why is there a "big dango family" anyway?


texts: Which of the Artificial Spirits creates the 4th Sakura Branch?

texts:
In Otome Yōkai Zakuro, when Zakuro, Susukihotaru, Bonbori and Hozuki enter a fight, the Artificial Spirits Mamezo, Sakura and Kiri pull out sakura branches to give to the girls. Susukihotaru, Bonbori and Hozuki just produce more sakura petals while Zakuro's turns into a knife.

However there's only 3 artificial spirits and we see each of them pull out one branch but there are 4 branches in total, who's pulling out a second?


texts: Where can I read/buy the 4-koma spin-off manga Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Dya (or Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ja)?

texts:
It appears that バカとテストと召喚獣ぢゃ (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Dya / Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ja) 4-koma spin-off manga was taken off the market some time ago, and there aren't any possible ways for me currently to be able to read it online.

Are there any possible ways that I can purchase the manga volumes?


texts: Did Alicia really wear a wedding scarf at the end of Senjou no Valkyria (Valkyria Chronicles)?

texts:
I've found this image by coincidence, but it immediately attracted my attention because I never saw such a scene in the anime.

Concerning the drawing style/animation (from the looks of it I doubt it's fan-made, it seems to be more like a screenshot), the sunset, Welkin's clothes (he wears them very rarely and if I remember correctly, he wears them only at the very end of the anime) and progression of the story (they end up together in the last episode (26)), this image has to be from the very end of the anime, but I couldn't find anything like it.

I've also watched it on different websites, but they all end with Alicia and Welkin holding hands in the sunset on a hill in front of their village.

Where is this screenshot from? Does that scene really happen in the anime or is it from the game?


texts: What exactly are those "furby-balls" in Dog Days?

texts:
In Dog Days, when "normal" inhabitants get knocked out, they turn into "balls" that look like a cats with large heads and short limbs. (similar to the Furby toy)

On other hand, when the main characters get knocked out, they look pretty normal (by Anime standards).

*Put aside the fact that a main character that is knocked out is usually striped of his/her clothes for no apparent reason other than fan-service.

So my questions are:

What's the proper name for these "furby-balls"?
How are these "normal" inhabitants different from the main characters?
Do they "recover" back into human-like inhabitants?


texts: What was the original idea for the origin of Goku (if there was)?

texts:
I believe that Toriyama didn't have on start in its mind the idea of Goku's origin being that of a saiyajin alien or even something similar, it doesn't match at all with the concepts shown in the first Dragon ball series.

I know it's based on Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, but I think it's just an inspiration for the character, not that the character origin was going to be the same than that character.

Has Toriyama ever stated what was his original idea for the origin of Goku? If so, which was it? Or didn't he think about that until the Raditz Saga?


texts: Why is there a time limit on Tobi's dematerialization technique?

texts:
This question contains spoilers for early manga readers and anime viewers

Konan mentions during her fight with Tobi that Tobi's dematerialization technique can last for only 5 minutes. This can be confirmed as true since Tobi resorts to Izanagi to escape her ultimate technique, Kami no Shisha no Jutsu. It is later revealed that Tobi's dematerialization technique is actually just teleporting himself into his alternate dimension with Kamui.

However, earlier during the Five Kage meeting arc, he had teleported Sasuke and Karin and kept them in the alternate dimension for quite a long time. He also kept Fu and Torune in the alternate dimension for several days. This shows that he does not face any significant side-effects, like draining chakra, by keeping people in the other dimension. Also, staying in the alternate dimension did not seem to have any adverse effect, on at least Sasuke and Karin.

Why can Tobi not keep himself in the alternate dimension for more than 5 minutes? In particular, why could he not just escape Konan's ultimate technique by staying in his alternate dimension for 10 minutes, rather than use Izanagi?


texts:
In the One Punch Man manga, Saitama is often shown reading recently published and popular manga. In the anime, you can often see his bookshelf filled with manga.

I suspect that the designs come from real manga series, but I am not well versed with the appearance of manga spines, nor can I read the blurry text on the spines.

Is there any idea where series/serials are from?


texts: What motivation did Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara, Sasori have for joining the Akatsuki?

texts:
The motivations of the following characters, have been were shown in the anime:

Tobi/Madara and Zetsu wanted to capture and seal the Tailed Beasts for his Moon's Eye plan.
Pain and Konan wanted to capture Tailed Beasts and use them to destroy the Five Shinobi Nations.
Itachi wanted to make sure the Akatsuki didn't attack Konoha or capture the Nine-Tails.
Kisame already had connections with Madara before joining Akatsuki.

What motivations did Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara, Sasori, and Orochimaru have to join the Akatsuki?


texts: Why did the anime have so many additional cards?

texts:
In the manga, there are 19 cards featured, whereas in the anime this number has grown to be 52 (excluding the card created during the 2nd movie).

Has there ever been a reason given for this large expansion?


texts: Do people still travel to and from Vers after Heaven's Fall?

texts:
The lunar hypergate that was destroyed 15 years ago during Heaven's Fall was said to strand the Vers Knights on the Earth Orbit.

It is improbable that there are no unmanned ships ferrying supplies to the Vers homeworld (Mars) and parting from the Vers foundries to the frontline (Earth orbit).

But given the scale of space technology, it is not unthinkable that some people (commoners) would not travel several months to get from Earth orbit to Vers (Mars).

That the nobles of Vers think themselves as stranded on the orbit because they would not submit themselves to this arduous trip, OK.

But do people still travel to and from Vers after Heaven's Fall? Is there some reference from the canon material?


texts: Who names the powers of Mangekyō Sharingan?

texts: Considering that Obito, Kakashi and Madara all knew the name of Kamui without someone telling them, can we conclude that those who have the Mangekyō Sharingan know the name of its exclusive power? (Obito's Kamui, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Itachi's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Sasuke's Amaterasu and Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi, and everyone's Susanoo)

texts:
At the climax of Season 1 after the Tiān Xíng Jiàn is removed revealing that Yāo Tú Lí was sealed under it and Miè Tiān Hái leaves with the sword, we see Xíng Hài remain behind performing a ritual to fully awaken Yāo Tú Lí. when it does awaken the mountain that the shrine was on is destroyed leaving a creator.

We see the fates of mostly all the main characters by the end of the season but Xíng Hài is the only one that doesn't seem to be accounted for, so what happened to her?


texts: Does the technique Kyoka Suigetsu make Rikuo intangible or just create illusions of him?

texts: In the anime Nurarihyon no Mago, when Rikuo uses Kyoka Suigetsu, enemy attacks appear to pass through him as if he were an intangible ghost. Is the technique creating illusions or actually making him "untouchable"? It is stated that he can "distort opponent's perceptions" with the technique, but it is also said that he can "distort his presence, even when he is still there". So: are enemy attacks passing through illusions, passing through him, or a combination of both these things?


texts: In the male quarters, how exactly does the male crew of the Thousand Sunny sleep?

texts:
This question is regarding One Piece.

As I was going through the design of the Thousand Sunny on Wikia, I came across this image of The boys' room, which I've posted below:

As can be seen here, there are six hammocks in the image, verified by this link.

  Suspended from the ceiling like wooden hammocks are three
  double-decker bunks, which the men sleep in.

It also adds that

  Behind these bunks, at
  the back of the room, are six lockers where the men can store their
  clothes.

Since there are seven male members in the Straw Hat crew, there must be one person who doesn't get to sleep in a hammock and who doesn't have a locker. My question is, who is it?

I came across this and this link which pose a similar question.
The answers which seem to be valid are

Sanji sleeping in the kitchen

I don't think Sanji sleeps in the kitchen, but there is a couch to the right here, does Sanji sleep there?

I think Sanji does have a locker to himself.

Zoro sleeping in the crow's nest

The crow's nest seems to have wooden benches, but I doubt Zoro sleeps there.

I think Zoro has a locker to himself, too.

Brook not sleeping

In an SBS question, Oda has said that Brook sleeps for five hours. This is the link. This link gives their sleep timings. So that eliminates the possibility that Brook doesn't sleep. Maybe he doesn't sleep in this room though?

I can't guess if he has a locker or not.

Chopper sleeping on the bed in the Sick Bay

This seems like the most plausible solution, since Chopper considers the Sick Bay as his personal room, provided the bed isn't reserved for patients.

He might be the one who doesn't have a locker, since he can keep his stuff in the infirmary.

One of them is on night watch, so there are enough hammocks for the rest

This is possible, but is it true? If it is, was there any rare occasion when none of them was on watch? I highly doubt it, but if the answer is yes, how did they sleep then?

Even if they did manage to sleep somehow (one of them on the floor, for example), there are still six lockers though, so who doesn't have a locker to himself?

The following image provides a pretty nice solution, but this is an image from when the Straw Hats were on the Going Merry. Do they use the same solution on the Thousand Sunny too?

A person who has seen the anime or read the manga, or done both, might probably know the answer. Any help is highly appreciated.

I apologize for the lengthy question. I haven't watched or read One Piece. I came across it about a month ago and it drew my attention greatly. My knowledge is mostly limited to the information I gained by reading the Wikipedia and Wikia pages of One Piece.

texts:
When Vegeta found Gohan on Namek, he told him:

  . . . Too bad, because you see, we are the last of the Saiyans, that means we have to look out for one another, understand? It's like... like the three of us are brothers...

Then, Vegeta kicks Gohan in the stomach. At that moment he had a big grudge against Goku and could've easily killed Gohan out of anger. Instead, the kick that he gave him was nonlethal.

Now I am wondering if there was some truth in Vegeta's words. As he already explained many times, the more of a beating a Sayian takes the stronger that Sayian becomes. Did he really want to help Gohan become stronger by kicking him?

texts: Do any of the other founders of the Dollars ever show up again?

texts:
So, we all know that

   Tanaka Taro, a.k.a. Ryuugamine Mikado

founded the Dollars.

But he wasn't the only one - in episode 11, we see that he founded the Dollars along with some other folks he met online, including at least 閣下 ("Kakka"), GG, and ZAWA.

The show indicates that these other people eventually left when the Dollars began to spin out of control. But Durarara is a show that does a ridiculously good job of conserving detail, especially with respect to its characters. This leads me to my question: do any of the other founders of the Dollars show up again later on in any capacity?

As per physics & Theory of relativity, if you have mastered the fourth dimension you can do both Space AND Time travel. Why can't they do time travel when they can do space travel ?

At first, I believe that Dio Eraclea and Lucciola were female due to their appearance and voice. However, at some part, people refer as "he" (English subtitle).

Wikia mentioned that both Dio Eraclea and Lucciola are male.

Do people in Last Exile always acknowledge that Dio Eraclea and Lucciola are male (without even mistaking them with girls due to their appearance or voice)?


texts: Why do anime characters stand on telephone poles all the time?

texts:
In a lot of anime and anime-styled fan work, anime characters are shown standing on the tops of telephone poles.

I understand this angle makes it easy to show the character against nice scenery, but it's not something that should be as regular as it is. Was there a particular show that sparked all the pole-standing?

texts: Looking for the name of an anime with a guy who was so fast, he let the enemy's sword practically touch him before he reacted

texts:
More details:

The main character preferred fighting unarmed, or with very short weapons, feeling that any long weapon could be countered by getting in close
This fighting style is unique to his clan, whose name begins with an M (yes, I'm 100% sure of that)
The main character's final fight was with another good-guy, whose skill was on par with his own
This other good-guy carried both a katana and a wakizashi (slightly shorter sword), and in one case used one of them as a throwing weapon
The "other good guy" wore a blue kimono
The genre is both historically inspired, but slightly "shonen-ized".

I think these details combined are unique to this particular anime.

Looking for the name, but also an opportunity to re-watch. Any helpful links are also appreciated!

I'll keep adding details as I remember them, until someone correctly names it!

Update

As Dario guessed, it was Shura no Toki. I highly recommend this one because of its similarity to certain historical characters and events.


texts: Bear attacks siege engine (Trying to find name of anime)

texts:
I watched a clip many years ago, and I'd now like to try to find the anime it went with. Unfortunately, I lost the clip in a computer transfer, so here's what I remember:

The clip was downloaded around 2005-2007. So the anime would have been made before then. The art was polished enough that it would have been made in the 80s at the very earliest. Probably 90s or early 2000s.
The scene had two people standing near the gate of a castle. They were being attacked by an army, and one of the two people charged into battle. I believe he attacked with a polearm for a few moments first, but the most memorable part of the scene was his transformation into a giant animal (a bear, I think). The transformation didn't get any special scene, it just happened quickly as part of the action. After transforming, he began to wreck the battlefield, including flipping a siege engine.
The animation was more realistic than cartoony (more like Steamboy or Attack on Titan than Azumanga Daioh! or Soul Eater).

I realise this is very little to go off of, but if anyone has any ideas or half-remembered memories, let's see if we can't figure this out, shall we?


texts: Is it explained anywhere how the Nine tails biju was kept in control by all its jinchuriki?

texts:
In Naruto, it is shown that Gaara’s One tail used to frequently take control and rampage the Sand village. Similarly, in Shippuden, it is shown that the Eight tails also used to go on rampage till Bee masters the tailed beast transformation.
How was it that the Nine tails only went on rampage when it was controlled by Obito? It is understandable that Hashirama maintained control as long as he was alive. But how did his wife and Kushina manage to control the beast when they were the jinchuriki?

Is the gas the only power supply to release the chains?


texts: Why is Moral holding a golden gun in Episode 7?

texts:

Why is he holding a different gun? Does this have any implications to the story?


texts: How are the Divergence Number and world line related?

texts:
In Steins;Gate there is much ado about the Divergence Number of the current world line. But if I am remembering correctly, the meter Kyouma made/carries/is given shows the difference between the current world line and the "previous" one—which I understood to be the one Okabe was in immediately before his last time jump.

Does the Divergence Number work relative to the last time jump–originating world line, or relative to the world line where it was constructed (the world line where SERN maintains a dystopia)?


texts: Was SAO originally designed to be community-driven?

texts:
Generally in most MMORPGs1 the role of shopkeepers are assigned to pre-programmed NPCs. However in SAO we see Agil and Lisbeth run their own stores.

Was SAO's community-driven nature (i.e. players assume the roles as shopkeepers) a part of the original specification, or did this only occur because Kayaba trapped everyone?

1: There is one recent MMORPG I am aware of that has a player controlled economy where players have to find their own jobs within the game (i.e. farmer, blacksmith, trainer) but I can't remember the name and it is also the only MMORPG I am aware of that does this.


texts: When Naruto first used Rasenshuriken against Kakuzu the effect was massive. He destroyed   two of Kakuzu's hearts, but there were a huge after effect to him. If I'm not mistaken, Tsunade advised Kakashi to ask Naruto never to use the technique again due to the huge risk. So why is Naruto still able to use the technique and have no side effects after that battle? I may have missed out on something.

In one episode, when young Naruto and Sasuke were to fight each other in a duel guided by Iruka Sensei, Sasuke was able to create his shadow clone easily. Also, according to How Itachi was able to use Shadow clone?, Shadow clone Jutsu is not imposed by any bloodline limits.

So why does Sasuke did not use this useful technique in any of his fights? And why neither of Naruto's friends from Team 11 seems to interest in learning this jutsu?

Naruto has showcased in his most fights that Shadow clone jutsu can be very useful. Sure many Ninja must have felt intrigued to learn it?


texts:
Resshin, the 8th flame dragon was revealed as Recca's & Kurei's father, Oka. Does that mean that all flame masters will eventually become a flame dragon after they die? Or does this only apply when a flame master died with regret like stated here?

  When Oka died with regret in his heart, he became the eighth dragon,
  and took the name of Resshin. Because his flame had an inner shape, he
  was able to retain his natural power and did not become a useless
  dragon.

Was there any official explanation about this? I haven't read the manga so I don't know if the answer was explained there.

In Crystal Triangle, there's an ancient relic in the shape of a cube that's got writing all over it and is referred to as "God's Message".

At first glance, it looks like it's based on Aramaic:

But then when we get a really good look at it, it doesn't look Aramaic at all:

Is this based on any kind of real world language/alphabet (similar to how the writing at the end of the Evangelion opening sequence is based on Angelic Script)? Or is it completely made up?

texts: Did manga from North Korea undergo the same audience changes as in the rest of Asia?

texts:
I was looking at Tongil Tour's website and saw that manga is sold on the streets of the DPRK:

I was able to find one manga that was translated into english and a site that sells books from the DPRK, but all ones that looked like they were manga (manhwa?) were targetted at young children.

The Gekiga movement in Japan started surfacing in 1957, which brought about manga targetted at older audiences and dealing with more gritty subject matters. However, Korea has been divided since 1945

Nowadays both Japanese manga and South Korean manhwa target several audiences. Did North Korean manga miss out on this development and continues to target only children - or are there manga for other readers too?

Or, why was the Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu sealed away?
If there's no other difference, everybody could use this without reading the sealed scroll.

After meeting Yukki's mom, Yuno is glad that she didn't have to use her "tools" to convince her. But at the end we know that this was the second time she went through her life, which means that she already passed by her first meeting with Yukki's mom. Yet she didn't expect to be accepted and therefore brought "tools" along with her....

Does that mean that in the first world she actually forced Yukiteru's mother to accept her in some way?

texts:
I can think of several anime series with recurring characters who I would classify as "snot-nosed kids".  Two sympathetic, recurring, characters are Udon from Naruto and Komugi from Hunter x Hunter.  Is there an actual trope for this character trait, and if so, what is it meant to imply?  To me (American), the trait merely means someone I don't really want to look at.

Surely there is more than that, though.  Sort of like a bloody nose often means the character is somehow sexually embarrassed.

In Attack on Titan, Rod Reiss becomes a disgusting abnormal.
By some research, I found out that the reason for his large form was that he took the serum in the wrong way, i.e., he licked it. Later in the episode, we see that Eren also takes the Armor Serum by breaking the vial by his teeth and taking the serum via his mouth - which is again the wrong way.
Then why didn't Eren become abnormal like Rod Reiss?

In the last episode of Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai (season 2, episode 16 / OVA episode 3), we learn that Kirino and Kyousuke agreed to the following:

   Kirino and Kyousuke will be boyfriend and girlfriend starting on Christmas Eve (when Kyousuke confesses to Kirino that he loves her), and ending when they both graduate (Kirino from middle school and Kyousuke from high school).

This is kind of weird, since:

   That's just 4-5 months. It's fairly clear that they're in love with one another, and Kyousuke goes so far as to reject all the other girls that are basically throwing themselves at him. Why would they cut it off after so little time?


texts: How is "One for All" stronger than "All for One"?

texts:
For those who don't know a brief description of the 2 major quirks involved in the main story of My Hero Academia are the quirks One for All (All Might, Izuku) and All for One.

First One for All

   All Might explains that One For All is the union of two Quirks: A Quirk that stockpiles power and a Quirk that could be transferred to others. One For All allows the user to access stockpiled power, which grants the user momentary superhuman strength at destructive levels, increased agility, and superhuman speed. Izuku Midoriya is the ninth user of One for All.

Now All for One,

   All For One allows the user to steal other people's Quirks and wield these stolen powers as their own. All For One also allows the user to transfer stolen Quirks to other people. The user of All For One can combine several Quirks in order to create devastating techniques which would normally not be possible with the usage of only one Quirk.

In the fight between All might and All for one,

   we see the combined effects of multiple quirks used together by All for one. Going by the name that is around 10-12 stolen offensive quirks (not to mention numerous defensive ones as well as ones allowing him to live etc.

How is it that the combined physical prowess of 9 individuals (2 of which we know were quirkless) can be stronger than the combination of atleast a dozen Strong quirks, maybe more?

Possibly Related: What does it mean that "One for all" allows to stockpile power?
The accepted answer fails to explain how this stockpiling would outgrow All for one, unless its some sort of exponential increase for One for All vs a linear increase for All for One.

texts: Why did Madara and Kaguya stop the Infinite Tsukuyomi?

texts:
When both of them first cast it, the Moon was shining brightly but then the light subsided.

Then Madara came down to hunt Team 7. At that moment, if the moonlight was already absent then why didn't the once caught into the infinite Tsukuyomi escape out in the absence of the moonlight?

Same goes for Kaguya...why did she wake up some of the people that were caught in the infinite tsukuyomi and erase their memory when from the starting she wanted to use infinite Tsukuyomi to put mankind under a genjutsu?

When the moonlight stopped shining, shouldn't all the people in both cases escape out of the genjutsu?

texts:
The Emperors of the sea Aka "Yonkos" are the 4 great pirates who are renowned and feared by both the masses and the world government. Rumors depict them to be so powerful and important that a loss/death of any, could have a ripple effect strong enough to destroy the authoritative order of some regions.

What I'm trying to understand is how a pirate actually attains such a level; is it in any way related to the actual bounty of that individual or their second in command?  we all know that Kaido and big mom had subbordinates who attained bounties roughly around 1 billion; is that the prerequisite for becoming a Yonko? But then if that were the case, it doesn't explain how Marshal D teech was able to slyly slip into the ranks of Yonko.
Or is it more about who is closest to becoming the pirate King? Or more like whoever can defeat a Yonko automatically snatches the title?
I ask this mainly because of a lot of theories floating around about luffy becoming the 5th Yonko;

 After luffy crashes Big Moms wedding and made it out alive, "Big news Morgan"   announces him as the 5th Emperor of the sea and that really confuses me; Is all it takes to become an Emperor an announcement from a media outlet?

To sum it up, My question is on how a pirate becomes known as a Yonko, is there a deeper meaning to the title itself?

 Extra Question lol: what did Blackbeard do differently from Trafalga law to become a Yonko?, after all they were both warlords for a short while.


texts:
In Sword Art Online Season 1 in ALfheim, when Asuna escapes from her cage to try and log out, we see 2 researchers who have taken the form of slugs.

Is there a particular reason why their character models are different? Sugou uses a normal fairy character model (though it's Oberon) and considering that the 2 researchers we see are just monitoring the captive SAO players, extra appendages won't be any use for them. Not to mention in a game where you can fly, their slug forms would force them on the ground.

texts: Question about the Attack on Titan Anime Compilation Movies?

texts:
On the wiki page for the second compilation film of the anime, it says that the extended addition includes extra scenes. Are these extra scenes canon to the tv show, or are the movie compilations in a separate canon? I'm a completion-ist, and I've watched all the OVAs, and listened to the CD dramas. If there are extra scenes in the movies that are canon to the show, I'd like to see them. Also, are there only extra scenes in the second film? The wiki for the first doesn't mention any extra scenes.
Here's the source where it says there are extra scenes:
https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Attack_on_Titan_Part_2:_Jiyuu_no_Tsubasa#Production_information
To clarify, I'm not talking about the live actions films, I'm talking about the anime compilation films that were released.
Thank you!

texts: What is being said during the Siege on Home?

texts:
In Final Fantasy X, during the siege on Home by the Guado you can hear something being said over the speaker system in Al Bhed.

It sounds like 2 words with the very end sounding like a "あ (a)" sound (though it could sounds like か (ka) or ま (ma)). At first I thought it might be "Red Alert" but "Red Alert" translates to

  nat ymand
  Pronounced: "nah-te aemahn-de"

 How long prior to episode 1 did the zombies first start appearing? Given their rations situation in episode 2, anywhere from days to months seems plausible.

texts: Anime where a boy is transported to a world with a different sun and enrolls in a magic school?

texts:
I can't think of the anime name but the first episode stars the main character and either his little sister or female childhood friend. The main character can't help but notice that the sun is different (I think he noticed that the sun was black instead of orange or yellow). Then, I think, he is transported, or something similar to transported, to another world or dimension that's the same as earth but with magic. He then decides to enroll in a magic school because of a girl that may or may not have saved him.

I do remember that it is a recently dubbed or at least somewhat recently dubbed anime.

I only saw the first episode and would like to finish it but I can't remember the name.

So, does all of this mean, that Headon cooperates with FUG?

texts: Is Dragon Ball Heroes Goku Ultra Instinct way stronger than Dragon Ball Super Goku Ultra Instinct?

texts:
In the preview for episode 6 of Dragon Ball Heroes we see Goku UI handling Super Saiyan 3 Cumber.

This is the same Goku who fused with Vegeta fought Cumber before. When Goku was fused with Vegeta, they used kaioken times 50 IIRC. And they were fighting Cumber in base form, which is 50x2x4 = 400 times weaker. This means Cumber SSJ3 is (400x50) 20000 times stronger than Vegito Super Saiyan Blue. And this Cumber SSJ3 was being handled by an unfused Goku Ultra Instinct. Now according to Wiss, fusion multiplies the power of the warriors "tens of times". That's at the very least a times 20 multiplier. Assuming this lower bound for the sake of the math, that makes Super Saiyan Blue Goku to be at the very least 20x20000 = 400000 times weaker than Cumber SSJ3. But then Goku Ultra Instinct was handling Cumber SSJ3, so the multiplier from Super Saiyan Blue to Ultra Instinct in Dragon Ball Heroes has to be at the very least 400,000. And it could be much more. If the fusion multiplies by 50, it would be 1,000,000 . If the fusion multiplies by 100, it would be 2,000,000 . Now, this doesnt look at all as the power boost Goku got in Dragon Ball Super from Super Saiyan Blue to Ultra Instinct. Then my question is, is Dragon Ball Heroes Goku Ultra Instinct way stronger than Dragon Ball Super Goku Ultra Instinct?


texts: In the 2003 anime FMA, what are the ingredients for making Homunculi?

texts:
Referring to the 2003 anime FMA, what is the exact process to creating an Homunculus? I haven't watched the anime in a little while but if this makes sense I am looking for the ingredients that are put together to make an Homunculus in the 2003 anime.

I do remember that Edward used the composition of what the human body was made of but other than that I can't remember exactly what the ingredients (if this makes sense) on what Homunculi are created from.

For some reason I remember that you need the persons flesh that you are trying to bring back for human transmutation but cannot remember where I heard this from and I am pretty sure Edward didn't do this when he tried to bring back his mother.

If you don't get the question think about how a salad is made and think of it as if I am asking what ingredients go into it to make it a salad if this makes sense.

Answers are appreciated. :)

Is that the end of the series, or does it continue off somewhere (like maybe linking to a season of 5D's another Yu-Gi-Oh Series)?

texts: Does Jesus Christ exist in the Dragon Ball universe?

texts:
In episode 70 of the original Dragon Ball series, Krillin fights one of Fortuneteller Baba's minions, who is a vampire. After he's defeated, Oopa and Puar jump in, and they manage to defeat him.

To do this, Oopa stands like a cross, stating that vampires can't stand crosses. In the next angle, the vampire is shown panicking, as he pictures a crucifix over Oopa, which starts to radiate light with organ music playing, as the words "Jesus Christ!!" and "Oh God!!" scroll across the screen.

In order for a vampire to be afraid of a crucifix, then the religious aspect of it must exist in universe, and the scrolling text seems to confirm this. Therefore, I'm wondering: Does Jesus Christ exist in the Dragon Ball Universe?

texts: Is code in episode 1 of New Game 2 actually an infinite loop?

texts:
In episode 1 of New Game 2, around 9:40, there is a shot of the code that Nene has written:

Here is it in text form with the comments translated:

// the calculation of damage when attacked
void DestructibleActor::ReceiveDamage(float sourceDamage)
{
    // apply debuffs
    auto resolvedDamage = sourceDamage;
    for (const auto& debuf:m_debufs)
    {
        resolvedDamage = debuf.ApplyToDamage(resolvedDamage);
        m_currentHealth -= resolvedDamage
        if (m_currentHealth <= 0.f)
        {
            m_currentHealth = 0.f;
            DestroyMe();
        }
    }
}

After the shot, Umiko, pointing at the for loop, said that the reason why the code crashed is that there is an infinite loop.

I don't really know C++ so I'm not sure whether what she is saying is true.

From what I can see, the for loop is just iterating through the debufs that the Actor currently has. Unless the Actor has an infinite amount of debufs, I don't think it can possibly become an infinite loop.

But I'm not sure because the only reason that there is a shot of the code is that they wanted to put an easter egg here, right? We would have just gotten a shot of the back of the laptop and heard Umiko saying "Oh you've got an infinite loop there". The fact that they actually showed some code makes me think that somehow the code is an easter egg of some sort.

Will the code actually create an infinite loop?

texts:
How much of the Black God (Kurokami) manga was adapted into the anime, as in up to what chapter/volume?

  Most humans do not know that every person is one of three doppel liners, three people who share the same fate, and that god-like beings called mototsumitama protect the natural balance of power in the world. However, Keita Ibuki, a videogame programmer from Tokyo, is suddenly drawn into the intrigues of the mototsumitama during a chance encounter with Kuro, a young mototsumitama who makes a contract with Keita in order to save his life. Along with Keita's childhood friend Akane Sano, the pair begins to investigate strange disruptions in the natural balance of power that seem to be connected to a powerful clan of mototsumitama.
   - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10262

The ending of the anime:

   Akane is getting married to Keita, and thanks Kuro for allowing them to reach that point. Several decades later, Kuro receives a telepathic message from a very old Keita. He tells her that he will take the curse with him, thanking her for giving him a happy life. Keita died afterward just before his grandchildren come to get him for dinner. A relieved Kuro then tells her beloved Contractee to rest in peace. -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kurokami:_The_Animation_episodes

texts: Is the physiological progression (evolution?) of Kabane discussed in the manga?

texts:
In the anime Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Kabane are shown with physical ability ranging from a slow, zombie-like walk to a high-speed animal-like sprint. In addition, Kabane are shown with various degrees of intelligence, ranging from mindless zombies to leader-types to being able to operate simple machinery.

What's the mechanism behind this variety? Do Kabane grow in strength, agility, and/or intelligence over time? Do their abilities depend on the original individual infected? Is it more related to the circumstances of the infection? Is there an intelligent agent and/or advanced evolutionary process behind it all?

The existence of Wazatori and Fused Colonies seems to indicate some form of guided evolution, but I'm frankly at a loss as to what mechanism could be behind all this.

The Gekko from Eureka Seven:

Latias/Latios from Pokémon:

Chiara Toscana's weapon/vehicle from Shakugan no Shana:

Are these simply coincidences or is it a design trope, similar to something like mecha? Is there more history behind this shape? If you know of any other examples, I'd love to know about them.

texts: Why aren't Meow and Dandy zombies anymore?

texts:
In episode 4 of Space Dandy, Meow, Dandy, and many other people become zombies, after Meow gets bitten by an infected alien. If I'm not mistaken, there's no cure for being a zombie -- all the advice Dandy and Meow get is to change their outlook by eating yoghurt instead of meat and sunbathing, so that they are fermenting instead of rotting. (Whether this logic about zombie biology is true is probably best left to another question.) This reaches the point where since life insurance companies are losing a lot of money to zombies cashing out on their policies, they try in vain to hunt down these zombies (but fail and eventually also become zombies).

Now, everything looks fine in the next episode: Meow, Dandy, and the massive swathes of the population that were zombies in episode 4 are now alive again. Why is this the case? Does Space Dandy largely simply consist of non-cohesive "filler" segments that don't necessarily have to follow each other? Or did some cure for zombification come up?

I haven't read the manga, so perhaps something comes up there.

texts: Are the English volume titles for EVA all referring to Bible verses, and if so, which ones?

texts:
While browsing Wikipedia's list of chapters for the Neon Genesis Evangelion manga, I noticed that some of the English volume titles were clearly derived from Biblical texts. For example:

  She gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate (vol. 3)

This is probably taken from Genesis 3, when, after God finds out that the forbidden fruit has been consumed, Adam tries to pin the blame on Eve (v. 12).

  As one of us, to know good and evil (vol. 7)

This is taken from later in the same chapter (v. 22), when God speaks of his decision to banish man from the Garden of Eden.

With this in mind, are all of the volume titles Biblical references, and if so, what exact passages are these quotes from?

So why Mael seems like have no confident to fight the Demon King? Can't he use that mode to fight the Demon King?


texts: Was it formerly common practice to credit voice actors in opening credits?

texts:
The final OP for Monogatari Series Second Season (the Koimonogatari OP) is sort of an 80s-throwback sort of deal, with all the hallmarks of old anime styling - funky "lens flares", those old-school clouds, a song reminiscent of 80s-era pop, captioned lyrics - the works.

One particularly interesting feature of the OP is that it credits KAMIYA Hiroshi and SAITOU Chiwa as the voice actors of Koyomi and Hitagi, respectively.

No TV anime from the past two or three years that I have watched has (to the best of my recollection) credited a voice actor in the opening credits. The opening credits typically seem to be reserved for producers, directors, original creators, and people like that. Voice actors are, of course, credited in the ending credits, usually towards the beginning.

And so, the question: Was it more common back in, say, the 80s or thereabouts for voice actors to be credited in anime opening credits (in place of or in addition to the ending credits)?

(Or, alternatively, is this aspect of the presentation of the Koimonogatari OP just idiosyncratic / anachronistic / otherwise not in keeping with common practice from a few decades ago?)

texts: Can shape corrosion of an Initiator's body be reversed, or only contained?

texts:
Shape corrosion is the term used in Black Bullet to define how much of the host body the Gastrea virus has taken hold. If it gets over 50%, the human turns into a Gastrea monster.

It is specially important for the Initiators, because they are infected at birth, and there is always a risk they turn into Gastrea in the middle of an operation. If an initiator is injected with more virus (by monsters, for example), shape corrosion can increase in a very short time.

During the series we learn that

   Aijara Enju's Shape Corrosion is well over 40%, putting her almost on the death row, should the virus spread more.

There is special medicine all initiators have to take regularly to halt the spread of shape corrosion, but is there any method mentioned in the black bullet manga or anime of reverting this index?
