texts: Why Tomoki is the only one who does not forget Hiyori?

texts:
In the movie as well as the manga, when Hiyori disappears everyone forgets about her. But Tomoki still remembers about her. He gets a headache, but he still remembers her. And then everyone else starts to remember Hiyori too.

How does that work?


texts:
From Arqade...

I've seen this photo on Facebook:

For sure I would take Charmander for the flame-throwing capabilities, but for the second starter I was thinking about grabbing Squirtle.

Gaining access to clean water would be one of the biggest challenges you would face in a zombie apocalypse, and Squirtle's water gun could be a very easy solution.

Question is, is that water potable?


texts: Chakra sometimes appears physically, as opposed to just being used as the power source for jutsus. Some examples of this are when the Hyuugas are using the Gentle Fist technique or when Naruto is using the Kyuubi chakra. In the first example, the chakra is sometimes used to block things, such as in Neji's Rotation jutsu, while Naruto's chakra has the appearance of fire and has at least once actually burned Sakura. Is there any set rule to how chakra acts physically or what it can or cannot do when not being used as the energy source for a specific jutsu?


texts: Why do Japanese names change within a manga to have various forms at different times?

texts:
So after reading some manga, I came to realize that many names change over the course of the story.

For example:

One Piece:

The princess of Alabasta had her name written as

Bebe
BB
vv
And concluded with Vivi

Attack on Titan Before the fall

Darius's son had his name as

Chabi
Xavi

His sister:

Charle
Sharle

So I'm guessing Xenophon could have also been:

Chenofon or something like that (That's just a guess)

Detective Conan

The "Famous Detective"

Kogoro
And Togo (in some parts)

What is the reason for that?


texts: Is Ryuk required to write Misa's name in his Death Note at the end of her life?

texts:
Death Note Rule LXIV states:

  gods of death are obliged to confirm the death of the first owner and
  write down that humans name in his/her Death Note

Misa was the first human owner of the Death Note that was brought into the human world by Rem. Misa then gave up this Death Note, and then picked it up again later, and this time the Shinigami owner was Ryuk (Light made him and Rem switch notebooks). Obviously the responsibility of killing Misa would normally be Rem's, since she was the first to "drop" that DN in the human world. But then Ryuk also "dropped" it after he got ownership of it, and Misa "picked it up" and became the owner for the second time. Rem is dead, so she can't kill Misa. Does this mean that the responsibility transfers to Ryuk?

I know that the anime makes it look like Misa was about to commit suicide. And it looks like it's her idea, too--I seriously doubt Ryuk would have made her go through all that trouble (wearing the "handmaiden of death" outfit and fancy makeup, traveling to the place where Light died,etc). But we don't actually see her die. Would Ryuk be the one to kill her, now that her life is about to end due to her own intentions?

Does anyone know of anything in the manga, creator commentary, etc., that might clear this up?

(Rule is from the wiki here http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note)


texts: Where are the places mentioned in Nausicaa located with respect to the modern world?

texts: The opening page of the Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind manga implies that the story is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, and the themes of the book don’t have much impact if it’s set elsewhere. But where on Earth is it set? We are given maps, and city names, and suggestions of different languages and cultures. Did Miyazaki have a specific real-world location in mind and if so, where?

texts:
At the end of the last episode:

texts: "Chuunibyou" or "eighth-grade syndrome" is a condition where people believe they have super powers. The first time I heard this term is in the anime Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Is this syndrome real? Is there any medical term or at least more common term for this?


texts: After watching One Piece Film: Z it was stated during the movie that a pirate cut off Zephry's arm and killed most of his crew of Marines in trainging. This pirate was later invited to be one of the Shichibukai. Is there any source that states which one of the Shichibukai that it was? I was unable to find anything on his wiki page I thought that maybe Oda might have stated it somewhere else.


texts: How many devil fruits we know about have been discovered?

texts:
I was wondering how many devil fruits have we seen in the manga since the beginning ?

Has someone ever counted how many of them exist ?


texts:
In Atelier Rorona: Alchemist of Arland, it's revealed the reason way Astrid never helped the people of Arland was because her Master was treated poorly, so Astrid decided, as a from of revenge, not help them.

I am wondering what Astrid means by her master was treated poorly. was she just ignored or was she never given appreciation for her work or did the people see Alchemy poorly and thus saw her master poorly?


texts: Is there a connection between the Hyuuga curse mark and Orochimaru's?

Orochimaru has a curse mark that he puts on Sasuke, as well as other people, that makes the person whose body it is on be much stronger. Is there any connection between these two curse marks?

In Log Horizon 2 - Episode 13, Marielle gives Naotsugu candies made of Coconia Fruit and according to the Flavor Text:

  Coconia Fruit: A southern fruit used for many applications, such as making various dishes and drinks. If you feed them to someone on Valentine's Day, you may find out who they ♡♡

And as the episode goes, who ever eats it shouts out what they love. When Naotsugu eats them, he only says this much before being interrupted by a kick from Akatsuki:

  O Pa ...nti-

It looks a lot like Panties and since it was Akatsuki hitting him, I'm pretty sure it was something perverted. So what was he about to say? Maybe it was mentioned in the manga or someone with Japanese Knowledge can explain it.

texts: DBGT: Does Goku die of old age when he turns SSJ4 in the future?

texts:
At the start of Dragon Ball GT, Goku was turned into a kid by Ultimate Shenron when Pilaf accidentally said "I wish you were a kid again!" after stating Goku became way too powerful and he doesn't stand a chance against him now,  but would if he were to be a kid again. (wish granted, goku turns back into a kid)
During his fight with Baby, Goku turned SSJ4 and with it, became so strong that the magic of Ultimate Shenron could not affect him anymore. This was stated in the anime. He was too powerful for Shenron's magic to affect him.

After turning back into his base form, he became a kid again. He didn't go back to being an adult. So Ultimate Shenron's magic reasserted itself when he was no longer SSJ4.

At the very end of GT, we see the future. We see Pan being a very old lady, and a mini-goku and mini-vegeta fighting in the World Martial Arts Tournament. The mini-Goku was implied to be Pan's grandchild. Since we don't see them, we can assume that all of the Z fighters have passed away from old age. Goku is now walking around the tournament grounds, all grown up again in his base form, still having his tail (proving the wish wasn't reversed, because then his tail would have been gone) just before the end-credits come into play.

The question

If the Goku we see at the end turned SSJ4, would he get old and die?

If Goku hadn't become a child and grown up again because of Ultimate Shenron's magic, he presumably would be dead of old age by the time of the finale just like everyone else is. But as we saw before, if he turns SSJ4, Ultimate Shenron's magic wears off and doesn't affect him anymore. So is Ultimate Shenron's magic the only thing keeping him alive? Without it, would he become old and die like he would have if it had never affected him in the first place?


texts:
On what basis were the clans formed in naruto?
The blood siblings Indra and Ashura are from different clans (Uchiha & Senju respectively)., whereas other siblings, e.g. Itachi and Sasuke are from the same clan (Uchiha).
The first shinobi who got chakra was Kaguya. So, technically whoever posesses chakra should've inherited it from her. In that case, all should be from the same clan.
Now, here's my long time doubt. How is it decided that Naruto is from the Uzumaki clan when his father is from the Namikaze family and has no clan?
Is a person's clan decided based on the abilities of the person? If yes, how is their ability evaluated right after they are born?

texts: How much is Guyver Manga Video Collection worth?

texts:
I'm trying to locate this series on the internet to put a price tag on them. I am pretty sure I have the full series of The Guyver animated manga episodes on VHS.

I'm not expecting to be sitting on a gold mine but I was wondering if this series is rare to find on VHS in mint condition especially the full series together. Here is a couple of pictures of the series. If anyone knows more about this series I would love to know because I hope to sell them on.

To point the question to a definitive answer, I'm really wanting to know the value of these videos.


texts:
Every trigger user have two bodies: his original flesh body, and the Trion combat body. When he activates his trigger, the flesh body is stored inside the trigger, and is physically replaced by the Trion body.

But Yuma's trigger permanently stored his flesh body (black haired) inside, and he lives with a Trion body (white hair).

In ep. 1 or 2 when he crashes into a car, his face shows a crack (causing Mikumo to become certain Kuga is a neighbor) - the same kind crack Aftokrator's magnetic shard trigger user (forgot his name - the one defeated by Jin in ep.29) shows.

Also when he activates a trigger, he undergoes the same transformation as any trigger user, and have a combat body. Proof is that he seems a bit surprised in Ep.8 when he deactivates his trigger (after the Miwa Squad ambush at the abandoned train station) and his severed arm returns.

So, besides the two bodies (flesh body and Trion combat body), does Yuma Kuga have a third intermediary body from his black trigger?


texts: Who took care of Naruto when he was young?

texts:
In episode 350, we see that the Third Hokage took on to take care of Naruto. But towards the beginning of the anime Naruto is seen to be living alone.

Did Naruto live with the Third? If so, why did he leave there?


texts: Besides instant brain destruction, what would it take to kill Tatsuya?

texts:
Tatsuya can cast Regrowth on himself as an instinctive and reflexive measure. He did it twice in the anime (the first time when he tuned his sister Miyuki's CAD and enraged the brocon girl by not gawking at her semi-nude body, the second time when he received a lethal blast during the Monolith Code final at the Nine Schools Competition).

The wiki states (probably sourced from the novel) that his Regrowth was fast enough to be imperceptible to everyone watching the match, including Retsu Kudou, the patriarch of the 10 clans (who is probably the most perceptive and experienced magician of Japan, and the guy that could see with bare-eyed the Chinese virus Golden Electron Silkworms injected into Miyuki's CAD).

The time required to cast Regrowth into another subject using his Taurus Silver CAD (confirmed by Miyuki during the third arc) is 0.2 seconds.

Instantaneous brain destruction (like a nuclear blast primary zone, or dipping the head in lava, etc), should be enough to kill him because his magical processor would go down with it.

What else could kill him?


texts: Why doesn't Hare fix Ayase's legs with her Bandage void?

texts:
In episode 11 we learn that Hare's void is Bandage, a healing void. Throughout the next couple of episodes she heals Funell, a bridge, and Shu. Why doesn't Hare repair Ayase's legs so she can walk again?

Did the writers just not think of this or is there another reason?


texts: Can defeated Servants be summoned again?

texts: How Orochimaru is still mentally active after being stabbed by Totsuka sword?

texts:
As per Sword of Totsuka article on Naruto wiki,

  Those who are stabbed by the sword are drawn into the jar and trapped in a genjutsu-like "world of drunken dreams" for all eternity

If a person is stabbed by Totsuka sword, he gets caught in an eternal genjutsu, which means his mind can't be active anymore. But, how come Orochimaru is still mentally active? I assume that, though he could get different bodies, the mind is the same for all.

texts:
I suspect there may be a Your Lie in April title spoiler situation here, or quite possibly I'm just dense. I'm on episode 10 of Parasyte -the Maxim- and I have been wondering the whole time what the title means.  At a guess, it could involve how episode 1 starts and ends.

start: Someone on Earth had a sudden thought.
end: Someone on Earth had a sudden thought. "Life must be protected."

(The end quote appears at time mark 20:40.) The Google dictionary defines maxim as "a short, pithy statement expressing a general truth or rule of conduct".  So is that the maxim, Life must be protected.? If so, there will probably be a further reveal late in the series. Or am I way off base?

If the actual answer is a spoiler, please put it in a spoiler block. I'll hold off reading that part until finishing the series.


texts: What happened to Hibiya and Hiyori after they broke out of the time loop?

texts:
(It's been over four years since I watched Mekaku City Actors and it wasn't the most coherent anime, so please forgive me if I've gotten any details wrong or missed something obvious.)

In the episode "Heat Haze Daze", Hibiya and Hiyori are trapped in an infinite time loop in which Hiyori keeps dying, and Hibiya keeps trying and failing to save her. They finally break out of the time loop (I presume) when

   Hibiya sacrifices himself to save Hiyori's life.

The next time we see them is when Haruka breaks open the back of a van to find them bound and gagged inside. I don't recall there ever being an explanation of how they got there.

What happened to Hibiya and Hiyori between them breaking out of the time loop and Haruka finding them in the van? Who put them there, and why?


texts: What were the contents of the letter that Kirika didn't want Shirabe to read?

texts:
In the second Symphogear G "Zesshoushinai" special episode, the last segment (starting at around 12:48) has Shirabe showing Kirika a letter that had been confiscated from them after they were taken into custody. Kirika immediately snatches it away, hides it behind her back, and starts yelling rather incoherently (and cutely).

What did the letter say? (My best guess is that it's probably something that Kirika wrote when she thought she was going to "die" as a result of being taken over by Finé, but I'd like to know if this is touched on anywhere else.)

I'm somewhat interested in buying cel sheets for some of my favourite shows, but it seems to be very hard to find somewhere that stocks them.

I have had the opportunity at a convention once, but I'm pretty sure they were counterfeit, so I decided against it. I unfortunately don't remember the retailer's name to look them up.

I have been looking for a while, but almost every website I come across has been shut down.

Looking on Cels.org, all the websites are down. The ones that aren't, have a live website, but with a closure notice:

Are there any companies (preferably based in the West) that sell cel sheets?

Is it projectile?

texts: Anime about a reunited friends who turn out to be each other's fiancee

texts:
I would like to re-watch an anime but I can't remember the characters' names or the title. I remember some of the story.

The story starts with a guy at the subway station and he met a girl there who was lost. The girl said she was looking for her fiancé. The guy fixed the girl's sandals which were broken, then they went together to find the house of the girl's fiancé. They went to the address, but it was an empty lot. He took her to his home, where she showed the only photograph she and her fiancé had together. He looked at the photo and it was a photo of him and the childhood friend he was supposed to marry.

Sorry that there isn't a lot to go on.


texts: Why did Teru Mikami confirm Death Note's validity by examining the pages with a microscope?

texts:
In the Death Note anime series, Light instructs Teru Mikami to confirm that his Death Note is not tampered with. He does so by examining his Death Note with a microscope to confirm it's genuine.

Why didn't he just write someone's name to confirm that the notebook works and use that page at the end to be sure that it works?

texts: How exactly were Ryuji and Taiga planning to elope after his 18th birthday, given the Japanese marriage law?

texts:
In ep. 23, after both protagonists fall into the cold water below the bridge (astonishingly, without breaking any body parts in such shallow waters), Ryuji proposes to Taiga, and tells her that they could stay on the run until he is 18, and then marry.

From the US embassy orientation about Japanese marriage:

  Article 731 to 737 of the Japanese Civil Code stipulates the following requirements:

  The male partner must be 18 years of age or older and the female partner must be 16 years of age or older.
  In addition, for Americans, you must be able to legally marry in your home state; if the legal age of marriage at home is 18, you cannot marry earlier than that in Japan.
  A woman cannot get married within six months of the dissolution of her previous marriage. According to Japanese law, this is to avoid confusion as to the identification of a child's father if a birth occurs close in time to the end of the marriage.
  Most people related by blood, by adoption or through other marriages cannot get married in Japan.
  A person who is under 20 years of age cannot get married in Japan without a parent's approval.

The last line means that they would have to keep on the run for two more years if they were to marry without consent.

Is it supposed to illustrate a blunder caused by a lack of information with the teenage characters, or there was a way for them to get married without parental consent?


texts:
In Chrono Trigger the party can go to Time's Eclipse to encounter a version of Magus from a future where Lavos was destroyed and fight the Dream Devourer which is thought to be an earlier form of the Time Devourer because of Schala being in the same spot.

After fighting it, still loosing and being sent away Schala tells the Future Magus that he can never hope to destroy it and to give up sending him away too. Magus laments on this and decided that if he can't save Schala he'll fade away too but if something of him remains then he hopes it can can save Schala and we see a Magus without Memories wandering in a forest.

in Chrono Cross after waking Kid up following FATE's destruction Luccia gives Kid a letter from Lucca effectively telling her not to blame herself for whatever happens to her saying that she expects something from the future(s) they negated to seek revenge but also telling Kid that Janus (Magus's real name) will look out for her if not already with her (to which she says hello to him in the letter).

But i didn't see Magus at all in Chrono Cross. Since Lucca was for sure that he would be at least looking out for her and something remained of him after he faded away, what happened to Magus?

texts: What are the squinting faces (>_o△<, etc.) called?

texts:
The squinting face that anime characters make can express a range of expressions. Here are two examples:

From this alone we might be inclined to call it the "cute crying face." However, consider the next picture:

The character (Rokka from Shoujou Yokai) still uses the same face, but does not display sadness. For context, the character was being used as a weapon to punch a villain in the manga and was happy to be able to defeat the villain.

From sadness to happiness to frustration, it cannot be pinpointed to one particular emotion. They do have cuteness in common, although it's not always used to emphasize cuteness.

What is this face called exactly? Does it even have a name?


texts: Why was Sakurai Takahiro recast in Psycho-Pass 2?

texts:
In Psycho-Pass (season 1), Sakurai Takahiro voiced Makishima Shougo. In Psycho-Pass 2, he voices Hinakawa Shou. I find it strange that the same voice actor would be cast to voice two different important characters in the same show.

Sure, it's common for a voice actor to voice multiple side characters, I guess to reduce the total number of voice actors that need to be hired (e.g. from this season, Fukuyama Jun voices Hunchoceratops and a few side characters in Amagi Brilliant Park; and Kayano Ai voices a number of side characters in Shirobako). But two different main characters? That's weird.

Weirder still, Sakurai is severely playing against type as Hinakawa - soft-spoken roles just aren't what he does, for the most part. Do we know why Sakurai was recast as a different character in Psycho-Pass 2?

Ever since I finished Naruto Shippuden, something has always bugged me. I understand Kaguya supposedly came from a dimension of Otsutsuki warriors, but I can't just believe that the seed for the God Tree came from a random meteorite. It had to have been created by someone or something.

Is it possible to find out who created it or if it was created in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations?


texts: What is the other Carillon broken at the background?

texts:
I noticed that the wikipedia page for Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka? / SukaSuka / WorldEnd is simply inaccurate. It states that Willem Kmetsch (Willem Kumesh in FgilanTranslation) wields Senioris and Insania. However the statement does conflict with the following facts in the Novel:

Volume 4 Chapter 4: It is stated that Willem specifically only capable of activating mass produced Carillons/Dug Weapons.
He wields Lapidemsibilus temporarily on the novel. Specifically at Volume 4.
Willem never wields Senioris / Seniolis in his active day as Quasi-Brave.

   He does wield Senioris at the end of Volume 5 of the novel - albeit also temporarily.

It is shown in the anime that he wields Percival and another Carillon / Dug Weapon. As shown on the scene below showing Willem in the aftermath of fighting against Eboncandle:

My question is, what is the other Carillon broken at the background of the scene above? I can't remember the name of that sword and where it was stated in the novel.

texts: After seeing Sailor Moon Crystal, will I miss anything by skipping the first two seasons of the original anime?

texts:
I've been thinking of intermittently watching the original Sailor Moon anime (with subtitles) to get a sense of the plot (and to have something decent to watch).

Since I've already seen Sailor Moon Crystal and I've noticed that the first two seasons of the original anime seem to more or less cover the same material (and since Sailor Moon isn't a high priority series for me), I'm thinking of starting from Sailor Moon S.

If I start from Sailor Moon S, will there be any important plot points / character details that I will not know of because I won't have seen the first two seasons?

I did view the final recap episode of Sailor Moon R (and I could follow what was going on), but there wasn't enough detail that I'm completely certain I won't miss anything.


texts:
After Rise Kujikawa accepts her Shadow and awakened her Persona a second Teddie appears. seeing it Rise warns that there is another presence and considering that Teddie

   is actually a Shadow

i figured someone else created and was controlling the other Teddie.

At first i thought maybe it might have been Ameno-sagiri since it talks about the fog, the voice is similar and Ameno-sagiri has been shown to be able to control others

   such as when Adachi is defeated Ameno-sagiri takes over his body

however the Other Teddie also talks about the futility in seeking the Truth when people are incapable of accepting it, this seems more like what Izanami says.

So i am wondering who was the presence behind the other Teddie?

I find it really odd and confusing that the six paths were all people Jiraiya had encountered randomly in his journeys. Jiraiya recognized them all during that last fight and they were all there in his chronicles.

One or two guys being the same can be thought of as a coincidence, but all six of them?

You can see that below the title section, where it says "See all 3 formats and editions". After that, you need to press the arrow on the left side to see all the 3 novels.

I'm wondering what are the differences between them.


texts: How does the One piece Bounty system work?

texts:
Right from the beginning of One piece, we see luffy and his crew keep getting a bounty increase everytime something big happens and this leaves a lot of room for pondering; especially on how these bounties are thought up and agreed on.

I understand that Pirates who are deemed to be dangerous by the Marines are awarded bounties but my question is how the bounty system actually works in relation to the media. Do the Marines kinda depend on information from newspaper media outlets to increase or award a bounty? (or is the other way round; that they only use newspaper and the media for getting the bounties out). Is the Bounty based more on popularity within the media?

Also, what warrants a decrease/withdrawal in Bounty? I know it has never technically happened but is it ideally possble?

My last question is how a pirate with a bounty can actually turn in another pirate for their bounty, are there any set restrictions on awarding Bounties?


texts: Why are only some of the characters "color-coded"?

texts:
Action Heroine Cheer Fruits is one of those shows where the names of the lead characters contain names of colors, and those names match up to some color theme that the character has (in this case, it's the characters' hair colors).

Except... it only does it for some of the main characters, which is weird.

Characters that are "color-coded"

Akagi An (aka = 赤 = "red"); Midorikawa Mana (midori = 緑 = "green"); Aoyama Genki and her sister Aoyama Yuuki (ao = 青 = "blue"); Momoi Hatsuri (momo = 桃 = "pink" / "peach")

Characters that aren't "color-coded"

Shirogane Misaki (shiro, written differently = 白 = "white"); Kuroki Roko (kuro = 黒 = "black"); Kise Mikan (ki = 黄 = "yellow"); Shimura Kanon (shi = 紫 = "purple")

I guess there might not be a deeper answer to my question than "because that's how they decided to write it"; I just can't help wondering if I'm missing out on some next-level punnery or something. (Seeing as we already have nonrealistic green- and blue-haired characters, as well as yellow- and black-haired ones who aren't the characters with those colors in their names, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to add purple- and white-haired characters into the mix.)


texts: Why is everyone affected by Infinite Tsukuyomi?

texts: I am trying to find the manga volume where the 1st season of the Bleach anime left off.


texts: Why is gold important to Amestris' economy?

texts:
I'm not too well versed in the laws of Amestris or its political climate, but the law only prohibits material transmutation to gold, besides human transmutation. I suppose transmutation to silver or other highly valued materials are still allowed, such as petrol, which is sometimes more valuable than gold in the real world. This leads me to believe that the only reason why it only prohibits gold is because the currency is backed by it.

Which leads me to the question, why couldn't they just use fiat currency instead? Why is gold so important to the Amestris economy when other precious metals and resources are allowed to be transmuted?


texts: Is there any information regarding Itachi's lover?

texts:
I was reading Chapter 401: Illusion of Naruto. Page 10:

In the third panel, Obito comments (emphasis mine):

  [Itachi] had killed his lover and his father and his mother...

I found this to be a new piece of information, as I never knew Itachi had a love interest. Was anything else mentioned anywhere in the series about Itachi's lover?


texts: What exactly does "best girl" mean and where did the expression originate from?

texts:
I've seen the expression "best girl" being used several times, and I find it quite self-explanatory. However, some people seem to define it in slightly different ways. Here are some different definitions from one or two reddit threads:

  It's when I get a boner in my heart.

  Best Girl = Mai Waifu

  I'm not sure if everyone thinks about it like I do, but with 'best girl' I just mean it's my favourite girl from a show.

  As far as I can tell, it just means you post a hundred pictures of a pretty anime girl you're in love with. And its creepy without context. Unless its being done ironically, then its only a little creepy.

I was wondering if there's some sort of "official" definition for the expression "best girl".
Beside that, where did the expression (or meme, I'm not sure it is considered a meme) originate from?
Is this an expression that is used in Japan too, or is it a Western thing?


texts: What happened to the Yin half of Kurama?

texts: Did Naruto get both halves of Kurama after fighting Sasuke, or did the other half of Kurama die when Minato was killed?


texts: Why change an anime series into a recap movie?

texts:
I'm wondering why would an anime that featured several episodes be compiled into a movie.

For example Attack on titan spanned 26 episodes that were later compiled into 2 movies. Another example is Death Note, also compiled into 2 movies.

I might understand the release of an original movie with new story, or a special episode that recaps the series. However, a full movie recapping the series ?!

Is it really necessary or profitable?


texts: Why is Nezuko stronger than regular demons?

texts:
In manga #83 it is mentioned that

   Nezuko's regeneration speed matches that of an upper moon, and later it's mentioned that it surpasses the regeneration speed of one of the upper moons

Also, Nezuko has shown to be stronger than an average demon before, when she kicked those strong demon balls for example. Why is Nezuko stronger than regular demons, considering she neither has martial art skills, nor consume humans to get stronger?


texts: Who are the characters on the two secret rubber straps for season one?

texts:
One of the pieces of merchandise for Symphogear season one is a "trading rubber strap", about half way down the second page of goods on the official site. There are ten varieties - Hibiki, Miku, Ryouko, and Chris in regular clothing; Hibiki, Chris, Tsubasa, and Kanade clad in Symphogear; and then two more secret ones that are shown only in silhouette.

Who are the characters depicted on the two secret straps? I can't tell from the silhouettes, though the shape of the one on the left looks suspiciously like Tsubasa's hair.


texts: What is with the shift in Total Eclipse after episode 2?

texts: I started watching Total Eclipse, which I understand is part of Muv-Luv, but I am unfamiliar with. After episode 2, it seems like the whole tone of the show shifts. Is there some background into what's going on? The first two episodes reminded me a bit of Blue Gender, but after reaching episode 9 it seems like that was totally left behind.

texts: What is the origin (or first known work) of this "Reluctant Maou Heiress" trope we see in several contemporary works?

texts:
This "Reluctant Demon King (魔王 Maou) Heiress" trope seems to be a subversion of the classic "Hero vs Demons" fantasy genre. The demon king is gone, and the heir to the throne and/or the owner of Maou's power is a female, and she has almost no interest in doing evil things to humanity. Instead, she wants to mingle with humans, helps humanity prosper and is mostly in love with the shounen main hero.

There are several anime/manga and assorted media where the heroine is:

Of a benevolent demeanor (not evil).
Heiress of, or the demon king herself.
Romantically involved with the MC.
On the run from her duties as heiress/king (see #2)
Strongly disinterested in pursuing the path of former demon kings.

As examples, we have:

Maoyuu
Yu-shibu
Shinmai Maou no Testament.

Where did this trend start from?


texts: What happened after this character's death?

texts:
I know this question may not be the type of question that has an exact answer (it's okay to me if you guys only have a guess and not an answer) but does anybody know whether the people working or visiting the library found out that

 Ash died

Did his friends realise he was missing and go look for him?

 And did Sing find Lao dead, and did they suspect that Lao killed Ash, or did they think Ash killed himself?


texts:
At the end of the anime series, when Madoka remade the Universe for Puella Magi to be saved before becoming Witches, Homura says that with Witches being gone Wraiths take their place because Madoka only stopped the Witches from being born and not eliminated the Curses of Earth.

in the Rebellion Movie when Homura transcended and becomes a goddess too, she chooses not to erase the Incubators from existence but rather give them the purpose of managing Earth's Curses (thus seemingly eliminating the existence of the Wraiths and what work Puella Magi needed to do)

Considering that the Curses of Earth were manifested in Witches first, are these curses natural? or is it a result of the Incubators? (ie. bring them to earth or a result of having created Puella Magi/Witches)


texts:
Makarov, master of fairy tail, has the power to turn into a giant. What size  can he accomplish? Is that the limit of his power or there's more to his skill?

An approximate size is also valid. No need to go into detail as apparently the exact size hasn't been confirmed.

texts: Are anime and manga subsidized or actively used by Japanese government to promote Japanese culture/relations internationally?

texts:
Around 2003-2005, Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) produces some documents highlighting the importance of manga and anime to promote Japan culture and international/business relations overseas.

The now unavailable online issue of Jetro Business Topics, "Japan's Soft Power Moves into the Limelight" (2 Sept 2004) by Tsutomu Sugiura, Marubeni Research Institute director at time, stated:

  If, for instance, children overseas learn to love anime, they may continue to feel a fondness for things Japanese as they grow older. And it is possible that such friendly feelings will translate into business deals involving Japan after they become adults.

directly citing the Soft Power concept by Joseph Nye. Similar concepts are expressed here by the same Tsutomu Sugiura, identifying the phenomena as "third wave of Japonism", where animation and videogames are:

  capturing the essence of Japanese character and lifestyle disseminates Japanese culture and Japanese soul to young people the world over

A document produced by JETRO Economic Research Department on March 2005 titled "Cool Japan's Economy Warms Up" associate it with the "Gross National Cool" cultural index theorized by Douglas McGray, and soft power concept is cited again.

After 7 years, are these concept actually implemented by the Japanese administration? Are there documents related to direct intervention by the Japanese government to spread or boost the anime and manga industry overseas aiming to these goals in international relations?


texts: Did the original Bem have a manga that was based on?

texts: What was the purpose of turning Eldians into titans in the anime season 2?

texts:
What was the purpose of action at the beginning of anime season 2 of Attack on Titan? Zeke turned some Eldians behind Wall Rose into Titans. But analyzing that, I cannot find a logical explanation of why he did that.
Drawbacks:

He risked losing Reiner/Berthold powers if they would be eaten by titans,
He wouldn't confirm that way if Eren's titan is the one they are looking for,
He leaked important information to Recon Squad that Titans are transformed people (Hange figured it out)

I have not read the manga, but I do not mind manga spoilers. Is it ever explained in the manga?


texts:

Didn't this alarm Caesar? What are the reasons that Caesar believed, Law would want to stay in Punk Hazard?
He didn't question Laws agenda or motivations at all?

texts: What were the circumstances surrounding Niekawa Haruna being "infected"?

texts:
As we learn in the second cour of the first season of Durarara!!, Niekawa Haruna is the Saika-wielder primarily responsible for the slashing incidents that have been plaguing Ikebukuro for a while.

In episode 17, when Anri reveals herself to be the true bearer of Saika, Niekawa realizes that it must have been Anri that slashed and "infected" her with Saika.

But, according to Shinra, Saika had been dormant for some five years prior - starting when Anri took possession of Saika after her parents' death, and ending presumably when the current series of slashing incidents began.

When did Anri slash Haruna? And why? I would think that if Anri had slashed her during Saika's supposed period of dormancy, somebody would have found out about it, at least.


texts: In Black Clover, at least in the anime, Asta frequently shortens します (shimasu) into しゃす (shasu). Is that supposed to be indicative of an accent or dialect, or is there some other reason for him to do that?


texts:
Here are the two scenarios,

In the movie Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire a ninja by name Hiruko while fighting with Naruto-san tries to absorb wind style Rasen-Shuriken. But he fails and exclaims that he can not absorb the technique.
In Naruto Shippuden anime series (I don't know exact episode number), when Naruto-san fights with Pain, one of the Pain successfully absorbs the Rasen-Shuriken.

Once the absorption is failed (in case of Hiruko), but other time its possible (in case of Pain).

Can anyone please explain how is this possible and reasons behind it?


texts: What is the origin of mushrooms growing on a sad person's head?

texts:

The below gif from FMA shows it as well. Where did this trope come from?

texts: Korean manhwa about a guy who cannot fight, but ends up winning every fight he is in

texts:
I read this Korean manhwa about 2 years ago. I am bad at names, which is why I don't remember the title of the book, nor the names of any of the characters. This is not a popular series, and may not even have an anime. The manhwa is complete.

It has street fights. There are no superpowers whatsoever, as they are all humans. It's all about a guy becoming the top fighter in the school completely by accident.

I believe it takes place at an all boys high school, but there is a girl whom everyone mistakes for a guy attending the school for some reason. There are technically no rules against girls going to that school, though.

The main character is a complete wuss, with brown hair. In the first fight (maybe, not too sure), he pretends to be tough, then a group of people try to beat him up. However, he accidentally beats them all up instead. After that fight, I think pretty much all fights from that point on are 1 on 1, as people try to take him down and fail by sheer bad luck.

Even with all the fights going on, the parents are never involved, though I believe the principle is, and he literally beats up any kids that get into fights.

There's also a less popular remake where he can fight, but he keeps losing to everyone he tries to fight with. Basically, a complete flip of the series.

Feel free to make pot shot guesses, I will look up all answers.


texts: Was the apparition Shion saw in his flashbacks Izanagi?

EDIT: From an answer, it's clear the apparition was not Izanagi. However, I did type the description wrong, as I'm asking about the apparition Shion saw after the star struck him and his father.

texts: Why aren't Japanese animation studios switching to digital art for production instead of pencil and paper?

texts:
In the introduction paragraphs of Visiting Studio Colorido: Up-and-Coming Digital Animation Studio by Naoya Koji posted in October 2015,

[...]
Today, many of Japanese animation studios rely on “papers and pencils” to produce anime. Although some parts have been updated, this is the traditional Japanese style of the animation production which has been handed down for decades.
The world is now in the age of the internet and the digital tools. The animation studios innovate those new cultures, but Japanese studios remain in the world of “paper and pencil.” [...]

Even today, Japanese animation studios still use pencil and paper to produce animation.
Why can't they switch from that method and proceed to digital hand drawing for animation production since it is much less time-consuming? Why can't anime studios use graphic tablets (e.g. Wacom) to draw and animate instead of using pencils, papers, and eraser because it's maybe outdated and obsolete?

texts: Why do the names of the Sankakusu sites match the surnames of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto?

texts:
In ep. 2 of season 3 of Sailor Moon Crystal, Mamoru says that the amusement park Chibi-Usa is going to is in Sankakusu, which is on reclaimed land. Later, Artemis tells Luna that there are three reclaimed sites that comprise Sankakusu: Tenohzu, Kaiohzu, and Meiohzu.

It struck me that the romanised forms of these three sites can be produced by appending "-zu" to each of the surnames of the Outer Senshi (excluding Saturn). (The civilian names of the Guardians concerned are Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, and Setsuna Meioh.) After some experimenting with romanization schemes (tenohzu, which is the official romanisation, does not produce useful search results, but tenouzu produced a lead) and running some searches, I found someone who claims that these three sites have the kanji 天王洲, 海王洲, and 冥王洲 respectively. In each case, the first two characters correspond to the surnames of the Senshi that I named earlier.

Is there any in-universe reason for this correspondence between the names of the sites and these Senshi's surnames? (I might shrug away "Kaiohzu Park", which appears in ep. 7 of Sailor Moon S as a one-off coincidence, but it would be unlikely if all three names matched up by chance.)

It makes sense that Haruka and Michiru have helicopters that are named Tenohmaru and Kaiohmaru, since they own these helicopters, but it seems doubtful that they would have plots of land named after them.
Perhaps their identities are completely made-up, and the surnames came after the sites were named? (Perhaps they chose their new identities based on the names of the sites?) However, at least in Sailor Moon S, the identity "Haruka Tenoh" seems to have existed even before Haruka became Sailor Uranus (per the characterisation in the flashback of ep. 17 of Sailor Moon S), even if it makes sense that Sailor Pluto would need a new identity (not being from the present).

As an aside, with slight spoilers for Sailor Moon S:

   It makes sense that Saturn is excluded. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto consistently work together in Sailor Moon S, whereas Saturn only appears towards the end of that season. I imagine that this might also be the case in the manga and SMC. Moreover, it's clear that at least Saturn has a  real-life identity that has not been falsified.


texts: Why is Team Rocket's motto "To Protect the World from Devastation"?

texts:
The Team Rocket Motto starts off like so:

  Jessie: Prepare for trouble!
  James: And make it double!
  Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
  James: To unite all people within our nation!

I've never understood why is their motto so positive? It seems strange for a crime organization to want to "protect the world from devastation."


texts:
I just watched season 1 (episodes 1-22) of Psycho Pass on Netflix and now I want to watch the rest.

On the Funimation site there is:

Episodes 1-22 (Season 1)
Specials 1-11
Episodes 23-33 (Season 2)
Also there is the recently released movie.

I haven't started any of the specials or season 2 yet; I don't want to accidentally watch something out of order and spoil it. My question is: Where do the specials fit into the series? Between the two seasons? Side stories? Prequel? After season 2? When should I watch them?

The episode lists I've found seem to leave out the specials so I'm not sure how they fit in.

What's the importance of the number 7 in Fairy Tail? Is there some type of special meaning behind it or is it just a simple number with no significance?


texts:
In the anime Hunter x Hunter, Alluka Zoldyck is considered as a girl by Killua, shown when they leave their estate and were accompanied by four butlers. Killua shouted to Gotoh and said that he needs a female butler to join them because Alluka is a girl.

However, I am confused because Milluki address Alluka as a brother, in the episode when he wished to Nanika to kill the tourist photographer. He clearly told the the tourist that he was just taking his brothers for a walk. In addition, the Hunter Wiki acknowledged Alluka as a male.

What is Alluka's actual gender?

I am curious about Naruto's aging through the series from Naruto to the beginning of Naruto Shippuden. From what I've gathered Naruto's birthday is in October.

Under the assumption that he was 12 at the start of the series. I think it went something like the following :

Age 13 during the Chunin Exams
Age 14 when Sasuke left the leaf
Age 16 when came back from training with Jiraya

Can someone confirm if this is correct?

texts:
So happys comment actually trigged my curiosity.

  Uhm, yeah, but they didn't need to change the series title to Bleach Shippuden owing to fillers. As for Bleach, I found the filler arcs, Fake Shinigami Arc and Zanpakuto Rebellion Arc, better than the main arcs. The two Damsel in Distress arcs, one each for Rukia and Orihime, dragged on for too long. Even the "level 3" battles, like the one between Ishida and Cirucci dragged on for something like 10 episodes. –  Happy Dec 5 '13 at 14:12  - Has the Naruto Anime deviated from the Manga

There are allot of series out there that hold long/stretched battles, such as Bleach, Naruto, Dragon ball. But which series currently holds the record for longest battle? And I am not talking about in battle speeches. I am talking about actually fighting screen time, and the amount of episodes it is stretched over.


texts: Did Kirei know about Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet, or was he just lucky?

texts:
In Kirei and Kiritsugu's final fight, Kirei uses Command Spells as his Mana source.

That rendered Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet ineffective. Was that on purpose? That is, did Kirei know about Kiritsugu's ability and use Command Spells as a Mana source to counter it?

To note:

Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet must have been a pretty well-guarded secret, or Archibald El-Melloi should not have been caught off guard by it;
Using Command Spells as a Mana source is pretty unconventional;
In the anime (have not read the Light Novel), there is no indication that Kirei knew about Kiritsugu's ability before the fight;

texts: Anime Movie with a floating island and robots

texts:
When I was younger (2003) I rented a movie which I believe to be an anime, though I do believe it was older.

The details I remember:

(Space Pirates aren't actually in space, they are just named that for convenience, they just fly about in airships)

In the beginning of the movie, there was a boy, who happened to come across, or see a girl falling from the sky, but she never hit the ground, she was floating. (They were young, by appearance, I would say between the ages of 7 and 14)
I remember a scene rather vividly, where the girl (from above) was climbing on the outside of an airship, trying to escape what I shall call Space Pirates as to not let them gain an amulet (not sure on whether it was an amulet or something else entirely, I just know she had it, the space pirates wanted it).
I remember the two of them (Boy and girl, from first point), found their way, somehow onto an island which had a giant tree on it, with a lot of robots which had the ability to fly, it was an old looking place with moss and other overgrowth about.
The girls amulet, (or other item), had some sort of ability here, and was special to the island.
I'm note sure, though it may have been that the amulet woke the robots.


texts: Is there any clarification from the publisher/author of Hunter x Hunter regarding the quality of chapters 335 to 338?

texts:
Why do Hunter x Hunter's chapters between 334-338 look this bad?

I know that Togashi had several illnesses, but is the illness that he had getting worst at those chapter? (I didn't resize the image so everyone could see the picture very clearly at the first glance).

Has Shueisha ever made a clarification regarding those chapters?

I have the physical books/compendium version of Hunter x Hunter that have relevant chapters on it (chapter 335-338 are included in vol 32 of HxH). But the art is still the same (my physical books of HxH are translated to Indonesian language and it's published through legal sources).

It happened in the 13th Hunter Chairman Election Arc, started on chapter 334. why the art suddenly/constantly changed?

Page 19, chapter 334

The audience looks are not drawn well, it looks like that scene was still a draft.

In chapter 335, it looks worse than chapter 334.

Page 7, chapter 335

And worse in chapter 336 (it looks like a rough sketch, look at Killua's hair and body, Nanika's inked hair, also the bench....)

Page 12, chapter 336

The worst in chapter 337 (What's wrong with you Kaito... and also the background... just what... )

Page 12, chapter 337

Well, chapter 337 is the worst that I have observed so far... They started to change the art frequently starting from chapter 338, but I would say, it's still bad.

Page 12, chapter 338

and finally, in chapter 340, we can have the fine art from Togashi.

Page 17, chapter 340

Is there is a game/anime/manga which is in English in one form or another (either Dubbed or Subbed for anime or officially translated/localized or fan translated for everything else) which would be a good entry point into the series?


texts: What exactly is the technique Madara uses to control Obito?

texts:
Recently in the manga version of Naruto (Chapter 637), Obito tried and successfully blocked the technique Madara used on him. But what exactly is this technique?

I tried to search anything but found technically nothing. Though Hashirama gave a clue and ask on the same chapter.


texts: What would have happened if Brook Died from eating a Second Devil Fruit?

texts:
I saw a post about "Creating your own Devil Fruit Powers".. Most OP would be having two abilities. Then I remember that eating Two Devil Fruits = your body to explode.

So.. I was thinking, What would have been the Result if Brook (Alive) would have died by eating a second Devil Fruit? Would his Yomi Yomi no Mi powers activate and revive him and if so, he is a person that was able to eat two devil fruit and live which means, two abilities?


texts: When did Itachi plant his crow inside Naruto?

texts:
We all know that Itachi had the left eye of Shisui which had the Kotoamatsukami. This was planted as the eye of one the crows of Itachi and the crow was planted inside Naruto, to counter Sasuke's Mangekyō, if ever, he turned against the village.

My question is, when did Itachi plant his crow inside Naruto and how did he do that?! Did he inject it inside Naruto, or planted it using Genjutsu, or something like that?

texts: Do individuals with the power of Titans posses the ability to time travel through the memories of future wielders of Titan powers?

texts:
In episode 21 of season 3, Eren Kruger

   who is The Owl (Former Attack Titan), told Grisha to save Mikasa and Armin despite the fact that they were not even born at that time.

How could he

   access the memories of a future Attack Titan?

Is this an ability available to

   all Titan shifters?

If so, then why was Eren Kruger the first to manifest it?

texts: Why wasn't Kanna affected from eating the chocolate love potion?

texts:
In the OVA of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Kobayashi ate a chocolate love potion that almost affected her (didn't work completely because the chocolate had liquor in them). However, Kanna ate some of the chocolate, and she was fine.
I tried reading the manga for some answers, but all I know is that when Tohru saw her eating the chocolate, she said that she won't be affected.
Why is that?


texts: Why didn't Killua use Nanika in the Chimera Ant arc?

texts: He removed the needle midway through the arc, shouldn't he have remembered Alluka? He could've used her to just kill the threats in the arc and prevent any other deaths.


texts:
During his time of Obito being with Madara, the White Zetsus told him that Rin and "Stupid Kakashi" were in trouble. Obito hurried as fast as he could to get to where Kakashi and Rin where. Once he got there, he saw that Rin was already dead and that Kakashi was the one who killed her. At the same time, Kakashi and Obito awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan which made Kakashi faint and Obito just sad/mad. Obito got so mad he went on a rampage. He killed all the other people that were around Kakashi and Rin. Once he finished, he went to Rin and hugged her. After that, he looked back to see Kakashi who was on the floor.

At that time, Obito had a huge chance of killing Kakashi, but for some reason, he did not want to kill the person who took the love of his life away from him.

Why did Obito spare Kakashi? Why didn't he kill him instead? Did he just feel bad for killing someone who was defenseless, or because he was going to feel bad for killing his old friend? Is there another reason for this, or is there just none?


texts: How come Abra was able to evolve in episode 22?

texts:
As far as I know, pokémon can evolve when they gain enough experience or while using a specific item.
There are also some rare cases that involve specific emotions/weather.
However, I'm sure none of these was the case.

So in episode 22 in season 1, how was it possible for Abra to evolve within the match, when he didn't even gain any EXP from it?


texts: Is Emilia stronger than the Four Generals?

texts:
According to the Hataraku Maou-sama Wikia,

  Satan tried to conquer the land of Ente Isla with four of his war generals, Adramelech, Lucifer, Alsiel, and Malacoda, but was eventually forced to retreat to Earth due to the interference of Emilia and the resisting human armies.

If this is true, it is possible that she can beat Maou-sama. (Though that was in Ente Isla).
Does this mean that Emilia is stronger than the Four Generals?


texts: Why is the release of season 2 of Attack on Titan delayed?

texts:
The first season of Attack on Titan aired from April 6, 2013 to September 28, 2013, as stated on Wikipedia. Although the anime is popular and there are demands for the second season, the second season is not yet released. I came across this article, which explains the reason for the delay as:

  According to the director, there are a lot of things happening in the "Attack on Titan" franchise this year, which hinders the second season production and has delayed the hit-anime to 2016. It was also revealed the delay is due to Hajime Isayama's best-selling manga lacking two-story arc, which make it impossible for Araki to come up with a new season.

This makes fans (like me of course) impatient... What is this lacking two-story arc referring to?


texts: Why do many characters tend to have crazy hair colors and styles?

texts:
It's fairly common that anime characters tend to have "wilder" hair than most people we see in real life. This can be seen as far back as Neon Genesis Evangelion (though somewhat mild) from the 90s (though some older anime, like Akira, do not have this characteristic).

The "wilder" hairstyles tend to have interesting colors from throughout the rainbow (pink, blue, green, etc.) that are only seen in real life with dyes or highlights. They also tend to be spikier, another trait not seen in real life (probably because gelling one's hair that way every day is quite tedious).

Why do anime and manga characters tend to have this spiky, colorful hairstyle? What is the cultural origin of such a style? (And did the growing trend of Japanese teenagers spiking their hair in a similar style originate from this?)

What is the title of this song?


texts: Why didn't the Titans wipe out humanity yet?

texts:
It seems like the Titans have a really huge advantage like the colossal, armored, female Titan. They could probably charge at Wall Sina instantly, take it down and wipe out humanity. The female Titan spared Armin's life a few times, when she could take him out in seconds.

So it seems the Titans are capable of killing all the humans completely but they don't. Why is that so?


texts:
When Marcel was attacked by a Titan who wanted to eat him, he could have turned into a Titan to avoid it or at least try to fight back. But he didn't do it. Also Reiner, Annie, and Bertholdt just ran away instead of transforming and fighting.

Why didn't Marcel turn into a Titan to avoid being eaten by Ymir?

texts: What happens to the pregnant woman's baby in the first episode of Death Parade?

texts:
In the first episode of Death Parade, after the first game, the woman's soul is voided, and the man gets reincarnated.

During the darts game, the woman tells the man that she is pregnant. Does this mean that the baby's soul is also voided? This would be weird knowing that the baby probably was reincarnated not so long ago and had no impact on what his or her mother would do.


texts: In episode 11 of Selector Spread Wixoss, Yuki started to disappear because, according to Mayu, she broke the contract of being an eternal girl by not keeping her wish to make Iona "Not Iona anymore."  But she's not an eternal girl anymore, she's an LRIG, so she shouldn't be bound to keeping other people's wishes from when she was in different human bodies (different eternal girls) in the past.  So it makes no sense to me why she'd be disappearing.  An LRIG shouldn't have any obligation to fulfill any wishes to anyone; only eternal girls have that obligation.  Any ideas?


texts: Can people log into SAO after the initial trapping?

texts:
Obviously in SAO anyone who was in the game on the first day was trapped inside. My question is, could someone on the outside a day (or whenever) later join in?

I would imagine it would be tempting for someone who had a significant other, child, someone, in the game or maybe they were depressed and thought SAO would lead to a better life.

I'm sure they would then become trapped themselves but is there anything stopping that initial jump after Akihiko Kayaba already trapped everyone?


texts: Seems like libido is the energy source for mechas in various series such as Star Driver, and Captain Earth. Exactly what is this libido it speaks of? Lust? Why is it that the world will supposedly end if something consumes all libido?


texts: When and who gives Izayoi the sun authority of Leo?

texts:
As one can see from http://mondaiji.wikia.com/wiki/Sakamaki_Izayoi , he has gained

  Sun Authority: Leo: A Sun Authority stated to be the power of the Fifth Western Zodiac, Leo. Leo's power is based on the myth of the Nemean Lion, a beast who was completely impenetrable to blades. This protection was grated to Izayoi and blessed him with the same defense against blades, thus making it possible for Izayoi to safely catch the Spear of Indra and throw it back. In Last Embryo 1, the Minotaur attacked Izayoi with Proto Keravnos but he was completely unharmed despite that a single strike from Proto Keravnos can surpass the concept of "slash". However, this Sun Authority is not effective against Gifts which could break the Gifts of stars or slay the Celestial Spirits, as seen in volume 12 when Laius successfully slashed Izayoi by his Harpe, though Izayoi weakened his attack and only received a small injury.

Who gave him the sun authority and when did it happen?


texts: Is "The Vision of Escaflowne" a shojo anime?

texts:
I grewup watching The Americanized version, and recently rewatched it in the Japanese...only to come out feeling like I just watched an entirely different show. This is a Shojo anime is it not? It had all the components of a shojo....a girl in a reverse harem off in a magical world guiding the fate of others. Who she chose as her partner and lavished her affections on shaped the behaviour of the other characters, which shaped the entire world they were in cause of their importance. It had entire episodes without any fighting at all, just dialogue about peoples feelings. Even the opening is Shojo-like. Young attractive Angel men...I don't see how this couldn't be a shojo anime.

Yet all I remember growing up watching the American version is it was about fights fights fights and lots of dialogue sequences that might even last entire episodes breaking up these fights. How they phrased the lines and even the opening... the show was clearly aimed at boys.


texts: Finally, the manga of Naruto has been ended, and yet I wasn't able to figure out why Tobirama created Edo Tensei. From what I've known, Edo Tensei is technique was intended for the dead to be reincarnated into soldiers able to clear a battlefield with devastating and under any other circumstance suicidal attacks.


texts: Are the OVA of "Baka and Test" more closely related to the manga/light novels than the anime's first season?

texts:
During the rounds where Aki and Yūji face off against Kyōji and Yūka, Yūji reveals a photo album of Kyōji cross-dressing which came from when he lost to Class F in the first season and was forced to obey Yūji and cross-dressed for a day.

The difference between the anime and the manga/light novels is that photos of Kyōji cross-dressing were taken in private by Kōta which Yūka found the dumped him. In the anime, she sees him cross-dressing when Class C (along with Classes D and E) ganged up on Class A in Mock Wars to tire them out before the real War between Class A and F.

However, in the OVA it explains how Kōta took the photos and afterward Yūka is looking through them, burns the album and dumps Kyōji almost as if she never saw him cross-dressing during the Mock Wars.

I am wondering, does the OVA of Baka and Test more closely adapt to the manga/light novels than the first season of the anime did?


texts: When does *The Miracle of Endymion* occur?

texts:
I'm currently rewatching A Certain Magical Index (including II) and A Certain Scientific Railgun (including S) in order by anime release date. Thus I've rewatched Miracle after II but before S. I remember S included a retelling of the strongest vs weakest plot from the original Index season, so this order doesn't in general match in-universe chronology. My attempt to place when Miracle occurs depends on the following facts:

Uiharu is surprised to learn of a wheelchair-using Kuroko's early discharge from hospital, suggesting this predates her wheeling Kuroko during the Daihaseisai. In particular, Miracle would seem to slot between the Tree Diagram Remnant and Daihasei Festival arcs. (Because I haven't read the manga and don't remember S well, I'm familiar only with the Index arc for this festival.)
When Index asks Touma what Endymion is, he mentions it's been visible before, including when she holds a grocery bag while standing next to him. This flashback is to footage from the end of the first II opening. This doesn't contradict the above placement of Miracle, although it does require said footage to occur early in (or before) II.

But there is an important subtlety:

  The movie retcons several scenes from the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime
  to somehow fit the obvious elevator in the timeline. Toaru Kagaku no
  Railgun S would later insert the elevator into scenes where they were
  supposed to appear as shown in the movie.

In particular, the aforementioned flashbacks are doctored; for example, the II opening doesn't include Endymion.

My reading of all this is that Miracle occurs when I've suggested, but results in some retcons of certain scenes as appropriate. Am I right, or is the retconning more radical than that? If so, the timing of Uiharu learning of Kuroko's discharge could shift.

texts: Who are the basis for the characters in Shikkoku no Sharnoth

texts:
Looking at VNDB's character page for Shikkoku no Sharnoth ~What a Beautiful Tomorrow~ some of the characters have under their Role section, either "Based on a Real Person" or "Based on a Fictional Person"

Character's like Sherlock and Churchill i get who their basis is just from their name's. Mary's basis is revealed at the end when she signs the book she finished writing with the pen name Agatha Christie (though it's mentioned a number of times at the start that she's a writer if that wasn't a bug enough clue)

but there are character's like Charlotte Brontë who are based off real characters who i don't recognize while there are characters like Sebastian Moran who are based off fictional character who i am interested in knowing if they fictional basis is any different with how they are presented in Shikkoku no Sharnoth

So i am asking for a List of all the characters of Shikkoku no Sharnoth ~What a Beautiful Tomorrow~ who have a Based on a ______ Person tag and who their character basis is. completion wise also include obvious characters like Sherlock and Churchill


texts: Anime about a girl, who becomes an adult by using magic and starts modeling

texts:
I remember an anime I watched on Indian television 8 years ago or maybe more. The points I remember are:

The girl gets some soft toys from a toy store. (She doesn't buy them but they follow her)
One soft toy was some kind of a cute dinosaur
The toys have magical powers. They give a notebook and pen to the girl
She somehow becomes an adult by using these magical items, and she can repeat this to turn back to normal
In her adult form, she helps a lady, who helps her to become a model
One day she loses her powers and can't turn into her adult form. The modelling company ends up in trouble because their model disappears
Her adult self has a short hairstyle

Some doubtful points, which might not be completely accurate:

Her hair color changes between forms. Maybe red and blue
The modeling company she works in also has an employee that is a relative to her (mother or big sister)

Why did Tsukasa say that if he and Senku would have met 3700 years ago they would be friends?

They are transported to a place that is full of blood, which seems to be entirely different from the place where the real Gate of Truth takes someone. What does him being a fake Gate of Truth mean, as opposed to just being some sort of transportation device? What is the difference between his Gate of Truth and the real one?

These objects were created by

This caused

 stand arrows to appear, that were given to a young Diavolo

So did they both influence stands, or was it just one of them?

texts:
It stuck me that I have no idea what is supposed to be "Creed" in the Matoi Anime.

The girls like Clarus Tonitrus and Flors are "Anti-Creed". So they are something that opposes "Creed". From this one could assume that the Nights are "Creed".

But the Night-vodoo-dude that maimed Flors is the "Creed Killer". Since he has a ton of bracelets, one could assume that he killed lots of girls, and from that infer that "Creed" are the divine union girls of Fatima.

But then both definitions do not converge. Each one point to the different faction.

What is "Creed" supposed to mean?

I want to know the season and the episode number in which the following scene occurs.

Gintoki speaks with some people (maybe with Kaguya-chan and megane-kun). I don't remember the topic of speech but he gives this as a supporting example: There is a very shy and cute school girl. After the summer holiday, she becomes very arrogant and slutty with a lot of make up on her face. Gintoki says that something must have happened in the summer. While Gintoki gives this example, we watch before & after images of the girl on the screen.

Or is it a completely non-existing magazine?


texts:
In Aoishiro, on the 2nd day during Lunch, Momoko is complaining about the lack of animal protein in the meals Yasumi has prepared, who has been trying to keep to vegetarian Buddhist Meals.

Momoko asks Suzuki Yuukai, the monk of the temple, if he would run her out of the temple if she ate meat, he says:

  I don't condemn eating meat at all.
  (Literally, "at all" = "no hair")

This is what Yuukai looks like

After reading the liner notes of Maria Watches Over Us, I know that some humor in Japanese language comes from puns on how words look very similar but have vastly different meanings only because of one character of the placing of a space.

I know Yuukai is bald, however, I don't get how not condemning eating meat at all = him having no hair, as at dinner on the second day, he points out that he does eat meat (asking Shouko if his "Iron Body" could come from a vegetarian diet). I played the English fan translated version.

So I am wondering, is this actually some sort of pun only understandable if you know Japanese (i.e. read the original Japanese text)? What exactly does he mean?

I just finished watching "Howl's Moving Castle" and I'm wondering why Sophie and Howl basically became best friends with the Witch of the Waste.
She cursed Sophie and couldn't remove the curse, so she was useless to them, and in the beginning of the movie Sophie seemed to hate her. While escaping from the king's castle Sophie and Howl could just throw the witch out of the plane, or at least just leave her somewhere. Why did they let her live and even stay in the moving castle with them?


texts: What would Light Turner's "Conditional" Entry in the Death Note actually do with the canon rules

texts:
in the Netflix Americanized Live Action Death Note Movie. we have this exchange near the end where Light Turner is confronting Mia

  What?
  What did you do?
  You put my name in it, didn't you?
  It was if you took the book.
  I thought I could convince you not to.
  Are you kidding me, Light?
  -You put my name in the book! I got mad.
  -Are you kidding me?!
  You said you love me!
  I thought you wouldn't take the book!

Source: springfieldspringfield (sorry there's no names. reason why i hate the site)

this exchange and from what i have heard from other people suggests that Light Turner put Mia's name in the Death Note so that she would die only if she took the Death Note (though i don't know the exact wording he used)

however with the real "How to Use" rules of the Death Note from the anime and manga, if someone wrote such a conditional clause how would it actually work?


texts: Is it common for Japanese otaku fans to create AMVs?

texts:
AMV is the term for Anime Music Videos, MEP is the term for Multi-Editor Project, and MMV is the term for Manga Music Video. Some notable favorites of mine that I watch mostly come from the YouTube channel [[MDS]] or Mad Desire Studios. I have noticed that a lot of AMVs are usually made by western otaku fans of anime - so generally from people from countries like America etc.

Do Japanese otaku usually create AMVs, MEPs, or MMVs, or is this just common for otaku who come from America?

Note: If you want to see what an AMV typically looks like, then this (Youtube link) will be good to watch and is one of my favourite AMVs.

So did,

texts: Was there an animation mistake between 3:17 and 4:19 in the second episode?

texts:
In the second episode, at about the minute 3 mark (October 1st), Airi Hasekura lends Yui Furukawa a spare uniform she had in school. Airi's bow-tie is orange, and I think the bow-ties' colours have something to do with either the students' year or their class. If that were so, it'd be reasonable to assume that the spare Airi had would have a orange bow-tie. However, the first image we see of Yui shows her with a green bow-tie:

That would have been fine, if for the next minute or so the bow-tie didn't change its colour from green to orange and back four times:

So the bow-tie is green when first seen at 3:07, orange at 3:16, green at 3:30, orange at 3:44 and green again at 3:53.

On the next day (October 2nd) Yui's bow-tie is consistently green. I'm assuming the bow-tie was supposed to be orange on the first day and green on the second, presumably because she would've gotten a green bow-tie meanwhile. This assumption also comes to the conclusion that this was an animation mistake.
However, since there was a "time-quake" at the end of the first episode, it came to my mind that this could have something to do with the plot. But since that minute was the only one where this change was seen, I was more inclined to believe this was a mistake.

So basically my question is: Were the switching colours of the bow-tie accidental or were they intentional (thus being plot related)?

From Episode 380,
How did Naruto know Minato's messgae or him?
Naruto said to his father that he already knew the message they gave him while sealing the nine tales in baby Naruto while they both are stabbed by nine tails' nail like a BBQ.
I am very curious.
Thank you for any comment or answer. I will be glad to read it.


texts: Where did Scar's other tattoo come from?

texts:
In the 2009 anime, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, near the end of the series,

   Scar fights Wrath. During the battle, Scar surprises Wrath by using construction alchemy, revealing that he has a construction-based tattoo on his left arm.

Scar has not had this tattoo forever, though; in earlier scenes in the series, we can clearly see that Scar has only one tattoo on his body.

(Left: Scar, episode 22, no left tattoo. Right: Scar, episode 60, tattoo on his left.)

Is it ever stated when Scar receives this tattoo? Who gave it to him?
