texts: Anime in which a girls family is killed and there was a prophecy?

texts:
This anime was kind of strange but I will explain as much about it as I can,

There was a prophecy that had to be fulfilled, which was that this girl must have a child with the last descendant of the vampire slayers (I think), then kill both the child and the vampire slayer and bathe in their blood.
The girl was a vampire (I think) whose family was killed.
The guy was protected by a cat (an actual cat, not sure if she could transform)
The guy is in school.
The guy was reluctant to do it with a girl he just met
The girl was told this prophesy by a family member who was not present.
The family of the girl was killed by villagers and her parents sent her away to save her life.
This was not a recent anime (last few years) but I cant put an absolute time frame on it, sorry!
The male protagonist had black hair and the relative of the girl who had to fulfill the prophecy, had silver hair.

I would be grateful if you could add to this list or just give me the name of the anime, maybe adding to the character descriptions, or just the year it was released!

It was not Omamori Himari. It has been half a month!!! Any ideas?


texts: What series are there after Rurouni Kenshin (1995)?

texts:
It seems that after Rurouni Kenshin (1995), there are more stories. But I don't know what to watch because it shows that Kenshin and Kaoru has a baby, Kenshin's past and also that Kaoru was kidnapped by some guys hiding a grudge on Kenshin.

But I'm not sure if there is a movie or different part of the series like season two or something.

texts: How did the Incubators start making Magical Girls?

texts:
The deal the Incubators make to girls is that by granting one wish that a girl desires they become a Magical Girl and fight Witches.

We know that Witches are in fact Magical Girls, so I am wondering how did the Incubators first start making the Magical Girls when there were no Witches to fight (as there were no Magical Girls to become Witches)?

texts: Why weren't some of the original Digimon able to evolve into their Ultimate/Mega forms in season 1?

texts:
Up until Digimon Tri, only two people from the original Digi-destined were able to evolve their Digimon to their Ultimate/Mega form (and even go beyond that, see Omegamon). All the other characters were stuck with Digimon that could only go up to Perfect/Ultimate form. I get why, it's explained in episode 38 of season 1.

But why has that changed in Digimon Tri? How can Joe and Mimi evolve their Digimon into Ultimate/Mega forms so easily? What made it possible for them in Tri that wasn't possible for them in the original season?


texts: Is the title, Tanaka-kun Is Always Listless, a good translation?

texts:
I have recently started watching the 2016 anime, Tanaka-kun Is Always Listless ( 田中くんはいつもけだるげ ).  Plugging the Japanese into the Google Japanese-to-English translator, it comes out as "Tanaka-kun is always wonderful".  One possibility is that there is a Japanese homonym that can mean either "listless" or "wonderful".  That seems like a pretty big spread.  But I guess if "bat" can either be a crafted wooden stick or a blind flying mammal, it certainly is a possibility.

Another possibility is that the translation does not capture the full Japanese meaning.  Perhaps the implication is more on the lines of "wonderfully listless", which actually sort of fits the series.

A third possibility is that there is not really a concept in English that matches the Japanese.  Having watched the first two episodes, I know choosing "listless" to describe Tanaka was an accurate choice.  So maybe the translators chose a single English word that fits his personality and did not try to match the Japanese exactly.


texts: Why did Major Kusanagi wear a particular extreme outfit on episode 14?

texts:
On episode 14 - YE$, at 6:21 in this episode, we see the crew being debriefed by Aramaki. The chief remarks that she is wearing "some get-up", inquiring whether she is searching for a specific kind of attention. She replies, somewhat... despairingly(?), with "...; I just... don't have a choice."

The scene prior to this ended with her being ejected from a building through a window and landing on a pile of trash. She is noticeably soiled by "garbage-type fluids" and, presumably, needs to get cleaned up.

It is not explicit, but it seems that only a few hours, at most, have passed between the incident and the debriefing.

Aside from being her usual hot-gun-toting-super-hacker-ninja self, I have missed the implication as to why this particular outfit is "mandatory". Is there a specific clue I missed or was it just to imply that she may have had other, personal, obligations for which she was still dressed? Her outfit was definitely extreme for being at "the office", even for her.


texts: How do we know Sonoshee is a oceanic-human hybrid?

texts:
I may not remember very well, but I think it was after the Edoras Arc that Kinana makes her first appearance in the anime as a maid within the guild.

We know for a fact that she was previously Cubelios, Oracion Seis Cobra's partner.

Her only relevance as Kinana in the anime was to hear him at the end of the filler arc (anime only) including the "New Oracion Seis" and I think she reappeared again at the end of the Dragon King's Festival for the same purpose (poor girl).

And as I don't remember very well how things turned out in the manga at the end of that same arc, my question is

Did she serve any purpose at all in the manga as Kinana?


texts: Can Mikumo Megane-kun be considered a shonen anti-hero?

texts:
When you think of a shonen action show, you picture the protagonist being of the "It's over 9000" kind of hero. He has some secret/strong power that is imbalanced and makes him unique.

Examples could be Goku (the sourced of the over 9000 meme), current season's Asterisk war's Amagiri (his sister had to lock his power), Guilty Crown's Shuu, UQ Holder's Tôta, Ranma Saotome, etc etc etc...

But World Trigger's Mikumo is the exact opposite. He is weak, cannot defeat any but the weakest enemies by himself, and after 50 episodes even though he is a bit stronger now, he is still the weakest individual in his team and the weakest on his league.

Can he be classified as an anti-hero?


texts: Are anime that air before a manga adaptation considered filler anime?

texts:
In the question Has an anime ever come out before the manga was published? it became quite obvious that there are indeed several animes that air before their manga has been made.
But this also made me wonder about the following: Does this imply that all anime that air before a manga of it exist should be considered fillers?
Fillers are non-canonical material, which usually implies it did not happen in the manga. Or as Urban Dictionary stated it

filler
A segment of anime, whether it be an entire episode or part of one, which does not appear in the manga of the title. Fillers, as the name implies, "fills" an episode with non-canonical material which has been written usually by the same company which animates it.

texts: Why can Devil Fruit users use their abilities while wet?

texts:
My understanding was that the sea is supposed to weaken devil fruit users and rob them of their powers. The One Piece Wikia elaborated:

  Devil Fruit users are susceptible to all types of water, not just seawater. This includes the white sea surrounding Skypiea. [Oda] elaborated on this, saying that "moving" water, like rain or waves, does not weaken Devil Fruit users, while standing water does.

The Wikia also states the users cannot use their powers while submerged.

  Even if a part of the user is submerged, they cannot use their Devil Fruit powers, no matter how much or how little is submerged. However, if the user's body has been permanently altered by the fruit, then the user's ability can be manipulated by outside sources (eg Luffy's neck was stretched while submerged at Arlong Park).

My questions:

How did Ajoki freeze the ocean?

May I emphasize he submerged his hand in the sea to use Ice Age?
How did Luffy fight Crocodile while wet at Marine Ford?

He was dripping wet after having fallen into the sea. Does the water not weaken him since he was now submerged? I assumed since sea stone worked just by touching it and it has the same effect as the ocean, then by having part of the ocean "touch" him would drain his power.

Are these just plot holes or am I missing something?


texts: Does the super saiyan god return to Dragon Ball Super ? (possible spoilers)

texts:
So there are rumours that the super saiyan god (red) is going to return to the Dragon Ball Super anime series. There is a text from a japanese magazine which supposedly says so, and even though I can't assert it's true, I indeed can read "super saiyan god" written in japanese in the text.

Can anyone confirm it or deny it by reading what the japanese magazine says in this text? (or through other source?)


texts:

texts: What did Koui (Qiaoyi) see at the very end of the anime?

texts:
At the very end of episode 12 of the anime, Koui (Qiaoyi) tails Mumei (Muming) as he goes to meet up with Shuu (Guanyu), presumably in hopes of acquiring more fuel for her curious fantasies. Then, she sees something that leads her to emit a tremendous shriek. The show abruptly ends at this point.

What did she see?

(Or, if this is unanswerable because the anime has diverged too much from the source material, that would be good to know too.)

texts: Symbols given by Sage of the Six Paths to Naruto and Sasuke Chapter 672

texts:
In chapter 672 The Sage of the Six Paths engraves one symbol into Naruto and Sasuke:

Is there any symbolic link to these symbols?

To me it appears as though the symbols are sun and moon, light and darkness.

Also, does it have any connection to Naruto and Sasuke's chakra nature? Naruto's wind element chakra is the promoter for Sasuke's fire element, just like the sun's light makes the moon shine.

Another aspect that hit my eye, is Naruto's symbol is in his right hand, while Sasuke's in his left. The right and left make a perfect set.

So, my question is, is there a link in the symbols given to Naruto and Sasuke. And are these links intentional or unintentional?


texts: Does Wing also developed the ability to transmute his aura into electricity?

texts:
In episode 28 of HxH 2011, Wing extends his aura into a piece of paper and easily cuts through the tin can. By the look of it, the strengthen paper seems to have some "touch" on it. It looks similar to Killua's ability to transmute his aura into electricity.

The image below shows the scene on (1) HxH 2011, (2) HxH 1999, (3) HxH original manga. Which surprisingly the electrical-charged effect can also be seen on the manga, but nothing on the 1999 anime.

Wing is a typical Enhancer, the closest Nen types he could potentially master besides his main Nen type are Emission and Transmutation. The effect can be easily differentiate as Transmutation type, Killua is the perfect example. But it is practically impossible to develop this technique without spending years of special training and exercise. Is it just an additional "effect" to show the power of Nen during the starting of the arc, or he really had developed this ability?

texts:
Episode 101 of Naruto is a joke episode; it is set in between major plot events and revolves around trying to figure out what is under Kakashi's mask. It's also based off of an omake, which are often meant to be funny.

Is it common to have entire episodes dedicated to just a joke, or to have them based off of omake? While omake are relatively inexpensive to make, episodes are expensive, so it seems like this wouldn't be particularly common. Alternatively, it could be a useful way to fill up space in fillers in long anime, many of which I haven't seen. So, is this a common practice?

Has there been any power level figure given in Dragon Ball Super?

What i'm trying to grasp is if the Yonko title started with the "Big 4" (Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, shanks). If that were the case then Shanks would have been the youngest,and most likely the newest addition at that time.

Or Did Shanks replace a previous Yonko just like how

  Blackbeard replaced Whitebeard?


texts:
In Attack on Titan season 1 episode 23, Armin requested for help from Annie, and she accepted it.

She knew from the beginning that it was a trap, that's why she put on the ring. She put on the ring after acceptance, which means she felt that "request" is suspicious & when she got caught, she used that ring to transform. She expected that something bad is going to happen. On the other hand, it's hard to believe that she accepted to be a "Good Person", it doesn't make sense.

Why did Annie accept Armin's request for help despite knowing it was a trap?

texts: Did Saber recognize Illyasviel in Fate/Stay Night?

texts:
In Fate Zero, Saber doesn't exactly meet Illyasviel, but she does see her, which is hard to forget because she looks pretty much exactly as her mother Irisviel, who was a good friend of Saber's.

In Fate Stay Night, Saber runs into Illyasviel multiple times, and eventually Illyasviel ends up living with her in Shirou's house. But, as far as I'm concerned, Saber doesn't seem to "react" at all. By this I mean something like:

"Oh boy, that's Illyasviel, damned Kiritusugu's daughter"
"Whoa, she looks exactly like my good old friend Irisviel"
"von Einzbern? That rings a bell"

But it doesn't seem (to me) that Saber actually realizes this.

Does Saber recognize Illyasviel? If yes, why doesn't she bring it up?

texts:
So i remember once reading a mange where theres is an online VR game. Two classmates play it without knowing that either plays it, Both of them hate eachother in real life but in game are very close.
Both of them play the opposite genders.
The girl playing as a male and vice versa.
One day they get stuck in the game due to a "bug" and i believe one of them turns into the gender they were in the game.

Any help would be appreciated.

To further add, The male character is a so called "loner"

Thank you for your time.

texts: What novel does Teshigawara allude to in chapter 2.2 of "Earthbound"?

texts:
In the spin-off novel Kimi no Na wa. Another Side:Earthbound, chapter 2 takes a look at the events of Kimi no Na wa. from Teshigawara's perspective. The second section of that chapter has him thinking about how he's so fed up with the corruption in Itomori that he just wants to blow the whole place up. Then, this thought occurs to him (on p. 88):

  そういえば、大好きすぎて辛いから、もういっそなくなってしまえ、と思いつめて、どこかの寺に火をつける小説があったはずだ。

  Come to think of it, wasn't there a novel where someone is so deeply in love that it hurts, and gets it in his/her head that he/she should just make it all go away, so he/she sets fire to some temple? [translation mine]

What novel is he referring to here? The description makes it sound like some classic of Japanese literature, which is a thing I don't know much about.

(It is presumably a novel that actually exists, given that all the other allusions so far (Michael Jackson, "Muu" magazine, a few others) have all been to real-world things that exist.)

texts: Why were most of the characters' names changed in the dubs?

texts:
In the anime Captain Tsubasa (I don't know if this is the most well-known name, since I knew it as "Campeões: Oliver e Benji", its Portuguese dub name), most of the characters' names were changed when the series was dubbed.

For instances, in the Portuguese dub, these are some of the names that were changed:
    Ozora Tsubasa - Oliver Tsubasa
    Genzo Wakabayashi - Benji Price
    Ryo Ishizaki - Bruce Ishizaki
    Taro Misaki - Toby Misaki (or Tobi Misaki)
    Kojirou Hyuga - Mark Landers
    Jun Misugi - Julian Ross
    Hikaru Matsuyama - Philip Matsuyama
    Shingo Aoi - Shingo Au
    Nakazawa Sanae - Patrícia Sanae (usually called Patty)

From what I know, almost every dub (if not every single one) changed some names when the series was dubbed. I also know that some of the changes were different from dub to dub.

Were these changes something that happened because every dub 'team' decided to change the names?
Or was it something that happened in the first dub, and that all the other dubs decided to follow (possibly because they were dubbed from the dub, instead of the original), unaware of the changed names?

Also, provided that the list is not too extensive, what names were changed in what dubs?

texts:
It seems as though a lot of anime go through a production cycle where they put out a series that seems fairly popular, but ends long before the manga's storyline does.  Obviously, a big reason for making anime is to get people to buy the original manga, but if the anime series itself were turning a profit it's tough to imagine (from my American viewpoint, anyway) that the producers would abandon it, when it could easily continue (given its proven popularity, voice actors lined up, storyline set, etc.)

Is there an overarching reason?  Do many anime not turn a profit?

texts: Is Tanaka's high school more fancy than most in Japan?

texts:
The main setting of Tanaka-kun Is Always Listless appears to me to be extraordinarily fancy, at least by my American experience of going to high school in Wisconsin.

Outside:

Do those poles along the building support a net, maybe to protect windows from stray balls? The surrounding area is beautiful, with a rural forested feel and located near a river.

Inside:

It appears as if one end is open, and there are other shots of small patios upstairs. Apparently they do not air condition the middle area -- it is sort of a breezeway, albeit with one end partially closed off.  I am impressed by the sunroof, the middle downstairs area which appears to be some sort of courtyard or atrium, and the upstairs walkway which reminds me more of an indoor shopping mall than a high school. I don't remember other anime where the high school itself was so interesting.

Wow, a Google search for Japanese high school architecture starts off with 5 more affluent-looking schools.  Maybe the word architecture tuned the search for high end samples. It gets even more impressive if you click over to Images. This ain't Wisconsin.

However, it never shows or explained why they don't need to pump the LCL back out of their lungs upon exiting a unit. Is it just implied? Do their bodies absorb the LCL through their lungs? Is it assumed they just cough it up? Is there an explanation that I am missing?

texts:
Almost every character in the Naruto series, from minor character to boss level character, uses this jutsu (Kawarimi no Jutsu).

Ever since I started watching the series, I wanted to know how this technique works. It may look like a Ninjutsu 101 technique in the early parts of the series, but in many of the serious fights later in the series, it seems to fool even the opponents who are well-versed in combat. Is this jutsu based on any real life technique?

texts: Magia Record: Why did the screenwriters cut the original Quintet out so much?

texts:
So I was wondering when starting to play the Magia Record Game that there was quite some differences to the now airing anime adaption.
While in the game the quintet from the original series (homura, madoka, sayaka, mami and kyouko)
plays a leading role in Kamihara - the Anime until now decided to almost cut them out entirely from the plot.
(Yes, Mami made an appearance last episode and Kyouko did for one episode, but the role they took was rather minor and differs from the Plot of the game source).
Just like Iroha in the Anime has not yet even met Homura and Madoka who play a major role in the game to be able to free Sana.

So to my question: Is there any reason in particular the screenwriters decided to cut the original Quintet out so much? Do they maybe want the audience to focus more on the new girls?
Cause it feels like they're rewriting big chunks of plot just to be able to leave them out in the adaption.


texts: What is the name of this manga with a girl pretending to be a mermaid?

texts:
So a couple years ago I was read this manga, then I finished, because it was an incomplete series, but then I lost it.

Basically, what I remember is that there was this girl who wanted to join the army after she finished school to help support her mother, and she meets this very weird girl who thinks she is a mermaid and constantly drinks water out of a huge bottle. The girl has weird marks and bruises on her skin, but she brushes is off as "mermaid burns" or something else.

Then, a celebrity comes to the town, who was super famous and the army girl liked him a little bit. Some stuff happens, and then in the end, it turns out that the celebrity was the "mermaid girls" father and he was abusing her. The series finished after that.

Please help, it was a very sad manga!


texts: Who is the yellow-haired character in opening of Midnight Occult Civil Servants?

texts:
I recently watched the series Midnight Occult Civil Servants (Mayonaka no Okaruto) on Crunchyroll.  The opening includes several seconds of a yellow-haired character who did not appear in the anime.

You can see sort of a ribbon of sand floating at his eye line.  The main character, a reincarnated high spiritual power human with red hair, has a gift to understand and speak in Yokai languages, called Ears of Sand.  My guess is the yellow- and red-haired guys are somehow related.  My guess is that the yellow-haired dude is from further in the manga than the anime goes.  Who is he?

texts: Is Ginko's death a foregone conclusion (in the Mushishi storyline)?

texts:
There is a break in the story of both the manga and the anime that fans will be familiar with: chapter 15 ("The Fish Gaze") in the manga and episode 12 ("One eyed fish") in the anime. In it, the "youth" of Ginko is shown, and the origin of his missing eye and white hair is explained.

One thing which has bugged me a bit is the ominous prophecy attached to it. Nui, Ginko's de facto mentor/rescuer tells him that the fish in a local pond (and she herself) only have one eye since they got exposed too much to the silver light created by a very powerful mushi, which she calls Ginko (a huge, silver fish).
Nui notes that those who lose both eyes to it get turned into a mushi themselves, called Tokoyami. Nui also mentions that she performed experiments on fish that had already lost an eye, which showed that once they had lost an eye, they would invariably lose the other and turn into Tokoyami, even if they were never exposed to the silver light again.

Later in the story, Ginko (the main character, not the Mushi) loses an eye as well. Does this mean that Ginko's death is certain and unavoidable?

Would Light have lived longer, if he would have had the Shinigami eyes?

texts: Is there a discrepancy about Tomura's Quirk?

texts:
Upon rereading a few earlier chapters of My Hero Academia, I noticed an oddity regarding Tomura Shigaraki's Quirk. Later in the story, it is revealed that whatever he touches with all five fingers decays uncontrollably until it's reduced to dust, with Tomura needing to be careful not to use his five fingers when manipulating objects he doesn't want to decay; much like Ochako's Quirk.

However, during the attack on the USJ, when Tomura used his power on professor Aizawa, only his elbow was affected, even though his entire body should have decayed. Is there an in-story explanation I missed for this discrepancy, or had Tomura's power not been cemented at that point?

texts: How could Feyris send her message in the past if she was miles away from the phone microwave?

texts:
I watched the episode 9 of the Steins;Gate series and have been wondering how Feyris sent her message in the past from her apartment if the phone microwave was miles away in the laboratory. Until now, they had always sent the D-mails from a phone which was very close to the phone microwave which (if I understood it correctly) managed to open small Kerry blackholes, allowing the electromagnetic signal from the sending phone to time-travel and reach the receiving phone in the past.

In this episode, it seems that they can send the D-mails from any location and if the phone microwave is running, the messages go to the past, which doesn't make sense because these Kerry blackholes should extend far beyond the laboratory and then any other (under 36 characters) message sent from a mobile phone in the town (and beyond) would travel to the past and reach the targeted phone back in time (if the number already existed), causing multiple time changes and not just the one caused by Feyris' D-mail.

I really can't understand this plot hole and it ruins my enjoyment of this series.

Could someone explain to me what I didn't get about the functioning of the phone microwave that makes the episode 9 logically believable?

What on earth happened to London? Given that Big Ben is there, London must've at least been thriving until 1859 or so (assuming that things happened at the same time in the Bubuki Buranki time line as in the real world), but by 2040, it's been thoroughly overgrown. Some sort of Buranki-related incident?


texts:
According to one My Hero Academia wikia

    he is also capable of using it to "revive" people, as he has done to Rappa multiple times

and

    Sir Nighteye assumes that Chisaki's Quirk is responsible for the healing of the Team Reservoir Dogs

Also

  Overhaul's characters in his name are composed of "治" (chi, lit.
  "govern, regulate, administer"), "崎" (saki, lit. "promontory, cape,
  spit") and "廻" (kai, lit. "revolve, return, curving"

If he can revive and may be heal people, isnt reving the most difficult/extreme "rewind" of a person's state? Couldnt Overhaul be used in the same way of Eri's rewind quirk?

texts: About the industry: How much does it cost to license a manga outside of Japan?

texts:
Today I'd like to know what kind of proposition one has to make to a Japanese publisher to have a go at distributing a title in a certain country (outside of Japan).

This article told me how things work in the industry and I pretty much understand that to get a deal, you need sales forecasts, a  distribution channel, a printer … ready to work for you. And you need to be able to tell the Japanese publisher how much he’s going to make throughout the coming months by trusting you to distribute his manga.

What I can’t seem to find though, is what a serious or standardized proposition in the industry is. I mean, what are the rules?! Are there rules stating that no matter what, a certain percentage of your margins should go to the Japanese publisher? Are there predefined sales volumes under which you won’t get a deal? Has anyone here actually seen such a contract? Where can one get his/her hands on one? What about digital distribution?

If any of you can point me in the right direction, tell me who I should ask this to, or highlight existing documentation, I would be absolutely delighted.

texts: Is Kayaba's Admin Account a part of The Seed Nexus?

texts:
At the end of the second Arc of the first season, Kirito was able to access Kayaba's Administrator Account and gained control of ALO's systems. Afterwards, Kayaba appeared and gave Kirito The Seed, a free kernel of the Cardinal System for the creation of new games and allowing players to pass stats between games. This ended up creating The Seed Nexus.

Now I am wondering, since ALO and the Recreated SAO are a part of The Seed Nexus, can Kayaba's Administrator Account go between games? Also


texts: Why All for One didnt keep a regeneration quirk for himself?

texts:
According to Super Regeneration - Boku No Hero Academia Wikia

  This Quirk has the ability to regenerate any sort of injuries on the
  user's body, such as missing limbs, at incredible speeds.

  All For One once stole and tried to use this Quirk to heal himself
  from the heavy damage All Might caused to him, but because his body
  had already cicatrized those injuries, the Quirk had no effect and was
  considered useless.

So, because he couldnt heal the injuries he already cicatrized, he considered this quirk was useless. That doesnt seem to have any sense. Why he didnt keep the quirk to heal new injuries in new battles? That would seem to be a very useful quirk, even if fighting All Might again.


texts: Did Tomura Shigaraki become stronger than All Might before he lost One for All?

texts:
According to the last version of the official stats Tomura's power jumped from 2/5 to 6/6 S+ . I think this was when

 he awakened the full power of his decay, which made him able to decay a whole city .

but after that on top of that,

 he received All for One which a bunch of quirks attained already, like super regeneration, air cannon and black tendrils

So, with all these new powers attained, did he even surpass All Might former power? Did the last stats took in consideration these last powers he got in the manga or were they made before these events?

texts:
So about 6-8 months ago I watched Eden of the east on Netflix and I really enjoyed it. It felt really original and I was totally hooked. I soon after watched the movies.

So today on "Source Fed nerd - Anime Club" they reviewed the anime and one of the hosts (Meg Turney) said something about that Eden of the East had different series.

I've watched:

Eden of the East (11 episodes)(Higashi no Eden)
Eden of the East the Movie I: The King of Eden (Higashi no Eden Gekijoban I: The King of Eden)
Eden of the East: Paradise Lost (Higashi no Eden Gekijôban II: Paradise Lost)

So the question is, what different Eden of the East, Seasons / Series / Movies are there?

texts:
About halfway through the series, I thought Shun had killed himself in order to prevent any further damage to others.

However, in the last few episodes, Saki hears his voice as he gives her some very important advice. In the second to last episode, she even seems to see Shun in front of her. However, he seems to disappear in an instant, and she sees Kiroumaru instead. She later hears his voice once more as he tells her the solution to get rid of Maria and Mamoru's child.

Were these just hallucinations, or was there some supernatural force going on?

Is there an average time needed to produce a series? Are we talking about months?


texts: What causes the Susano to morph into more advanced stages

texts:
During Sasuke's "evil phase", the anime shows us his advancement along the different stages of the Susanoo. The most noticable thing is that Sasuke's Susanoo responds with his feelings, more like it feeds of his anger. During his fight with Danzo, sasuke becomes really enraged at how Danzo talks about itachi and his Susanoo starts developing flesh and its eyes light up. Later on in the fight, Sasuke screams and his  Susano further develops an offensive weapon and even starts using arrows. (His Susanoo had 2 major powerups while he was against Danzo [flesh and an offensive weapon]
[]1

During that moment obito even mentioned that "His hatred has matured and gained in power" (he says it a bit differently from how the manga does. Shippuden Episode 210).

So does this mean that the only way to advance the Susanoo is through negative emotions? I want to clarify this cause the Wiki doesnt explicitly state how the Susanoo morphs from bones to full clothed Armor. The only Sharingan user that the anime really focuses on in terms of Susano development is Sasuke. SO its hard to actually generalize this concept of hatred feeding Susano for all sharingan users. (I'm not sure if i missed something)


texts: Did Shichika's father try to kill Nanami?

texts:
In Episode 7, Nanami seemed to elude that when Shichika killed their father, the 6th Kyoto Ryu, his father was about to kill her, or she already knew that he was planning on killing her.

I am wondering, did Shichika's father try to kill Nanami? And for what reason? (Was it to ease her suffering, or to stop her from becoming more powerful from observing more of the Kyoto Ryu art?)

Also if he did try and kill her, did Shichika kill his father solely to protect Nanami?


texts:
So, during Obito and Kakashi's fight in the Kamui dimension, Obito gets a hole in his chest. After watching the episode, most of the viewers commented that Obito "was defeated" even though he had the Rinnegan. But wasn't it because Obito "let" Kakashi win to undo Madara's Seal (as we see in chapter 675, Obito gets to know about the seal and wishes to undo it) and become the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki? Also, I wanted to know that would Kakashi (a non-Uchiha and a non-Senju) have been able to actually defeat Obito? Because during their fight, Obito didn't use Izanagi or even one Rinnegan ability (even though, just moments later, he seals the Ten Tails inside him with the Rinnegan). I am compelled to say this, but Obito's abilities are no joke.

Please provide a convincing answer to explain exactly what happened during the fight and what would've happened if Obito was really serious.

texts: How does Gohan inherit his "Mystic" power while others do not?

texts:
Goten and Trunks in the current Z timeline are very powerful, but even the Fused SSJ3 Gotenks can't be compared to Mystic Gohan. He was more powerful than even SSJ3 Goku.

Even though Gohan didn't train for around 10 years between the Cell and Buu saga, he was able to surpass all Z characters except Vegtito and BuuTenks in power.

So, why is Gohan more powerful then other half-saiyan children?

In this question, the most upvoted (not necessarily correct) answer says that since Goku/Vegeta were more powerful when Trunks/Goten were conceived they were more powerful. Hence why Future Trunks was weaker. But, this doesn't explain why Gohan was the strongest of the lot when Goku was at his weakest in Z when Gohan is born. And, this directly contradicts the answer given above.

This question  may be related, but I believe that Gohan has a hidden power which was released by the Elder Kai answers the question. However, I can't find any source or the reason for the hidden depths to Gohan's power. So, that question may build on the premise of this question.

How does Gohan inherit his "Mystic" power when none of the other half-children such as Future Trunks, Trunks and Goten have it?

texts: Are the items featured in Yuru Yuri San Hai! cross review based on real items?

texts:
At the end of every episode of Yuru Yuri San Hai! (third season of Yuru Yuri), there is a cross-review section (right before the preview of next episode) which features an item used in the main section of the episode. For example, the shirt that Toshinou Kyouko bought that says I am AHO (AHO is Japanese, means stupid).

I can find that shirt being sold in the Internet, though I'm not sure which one comes first, the shirt or the anime. This makes me curious, are the items featured in the cross-review section are actually based on real world items, or this t-shirt is just a coincidence? By coincidence, I mean it just happen to be famous and thus was created or the shirt got featured because when the series creator browse the Internet for idea he/she thought that it is funny.


texts: Why did Wraith disguise herself as a man?

texts:
During season 2 (The Second Raid), Chidori is being monitored from afar by a man who we later learn is an intelligence operative by the codename of Wraith. After Sousuke is reassigned, Chidori gets the drop on Wraith and confronts him, but is later shot by Xia Yu Lan.

After Leonard turns up and kills Xia Yu Lan, we find out Wraith isn't dead but that the bullet to the head ripped apart a mask. We see what looks to be a female eye. After the conclusion of the Hong Kong incident, the Mithril intelligence agent who was working with the SRT is talking to a woman who wasn't around before. At the very end, when Sousuke returns to school, this same woman is watching Chidori and Sousuke from afar. Her comments lead us to believe she is Wraith.

Why did Wraith pose as a guy? Was there any benefit to her mission in making people believe she was the opposite gender?

texts: Using Summoning Jutsu who has blood of someone who has made a contract?

  It should be noted that
  anyone can summon a contracted animal as long
   as they have the blood of someone who has made a contract, the seal of

  summon will accept

Means anyone can summon a contracted animal by having blood of someone who has made a contract. So my question is:

Is there any event mentioned in anime or manga which shows this type summoning ?


texts: Why does Mir appear inside Cloche's Cosmosphere

texts:
According to This answer there is a special reason why Shurelia is able to appear in Misha's and Aurica's Cosmospheres.

How in in the 4th Level of Cloche's Cosmosphere Mir appeared despite the 2 never having met. even if the reason for Shurelia appearing in other's Cosmospheres rings true for Mir according to this answer

  Cocona is also an IPD, meaning she does not connect to the "correct" server, but to the Infel Phira server.

this means IPDs have a totally different server that they connect to plus Infel Pira was man made after the Reyvateils appeared (as Infel, a Reyvateil herself, made it to prepare to sing Metafalica)

So i am wondering how is Mir turning up in Cloche's Cosmosphere?

I think it was cartoon network but I'm not sure or maybe fox kids this was in the Uk by the way.

Story: The movie starts in a hologram environment where the female protagonist is sunbathing. Gets hit on by a guy when suddenly the hologram room gets hacked and she traces this hack to earth. Later on it is revealed that the hacker is an AI trying to get people on his rocket out of Earth to colonize new planets. The AI leaves himself without anyone else in the end of the movie.

Main protagonist: Female data. Lives in a big structure above earth in space. Is allowed additional "memory" due to high enthusiasm and goals. Gets a mission to go down to earth. She hastened the body creation and took the body of herself at the age of 18 instead of her grown-up body. She falls to earth in a pod meeting her informant (male) luring mutated beast animals to her on purpose.


texts: What technique is used to draw the lifelike backgrounds in the movie Ponyo?

texts:
In the movie Ponyo, the backgrounds (the clouds, pictured below) are not done in a typical anime style. Instead, they are much more lifelike and 3D.

What is the technique used to do this? Is this used in other films or series?


texts: Dragon Ball Volume 1 colored and uncensored?

texts:
I would like to buy  for my collection a copy of Dragon Ball Volume 1 colored and uncensored or the closest thing.

Browsing I have found so far:

Regular Volume 1 is uncensored but no color pages.
Collectors edition has some colored pages but is censored.
Viz Big has some colored pages but is censored and is really big.

I am wrong?  Any other choice?


texts: Is the identity of Rin's father confirmed?

texts:
In the beginning of the anime we're lead to believe that Daikichi's grandfather and this Masako woman are Rin's parents.

During the anime they confirm that Masako is Rin's mother, but they leave the father's identity up in the air.
If Daikichi's grandfather was Rin's father, he would have had to taken part in her conception at 73 years old - not impossible, but it's still a stretch.

Is Daikichi's grandfather really Rin's father? Is this revealed in the manga?


texts: How do people survive battles in Legend of Korra?

texts: In the show, we see tons of battles, most of which use bending. Earthbender can pick up rocks that probably weighty several hundred pounds, but we see people take these with no problem and keep stacking. Firebenders generate intense fire, so how is no one burned even from the non-point blank range? This doesn't add up to me. It could be the infamous rule of cool or something to do with the physiology of the (supposed) humans in the show but I am looking to a different answer.

texts: What was the relationship between Whitebeard and Roger?

texts:
Indeed, they have a peculiar relationship. Towards the end of the battle at Marineford, he had a fashback to some time he spent with Roger, and how he was not interested in Raftel at all even if Roger told him where it was. How come then, that earlier than that, when Shanks confronted him about stopping Ace from the pursuit of Blackbeard, he admitted that they used to fight a lot with Roger's ship.

Yes we know no pirates have any proper relation, but would someone like Doffy have a cup of tea with Crocodile at all? Not to mention the enormous secret Roger was just about to reveal so casually.


texts:
A lot of anime contain characters with a snaggletooth - typically a fang-like tooth that is displayed on its own. I found it odd as snaggleteeth (misaligned teeth) are rarely ever shown in any other media. Here are some examples :

[Lucky Star, Oreimo & Slayers Revolution]

I'd like to know how recent this trope is and why it's used so often - does it serve a specific purpose?

Who was the first character to have a snaggletooth?

texts: Why did Imaizumi have a 1:50 start delay on day 2 of the Interhigh?

texts:
In episode 31 of Yowamushi Pedal, we get to see a screen that gives the finish times of the top five finishers on day 1 of the Interhigh:

The fifth line on that display gives Imaizumi's time as "+1.55". This means "1.55 seconds after first place", right? It wouldn't make sense if it were "1 minute and 55 seconds after first place", given how close behind the first-placers he and Arakita were riding.

So in episode 32, while they're waiting at the start line to begin day 2 of the Interhigh (around 17:10 in the episode), Tadokoro tells Onoda that Imaizumi will start 1 minute and 50 seconds after the day 1 first place finishers. (This isn't a subtitling error; Tadokoro says １分５０秒後 = "1 minute and 50 seconds later".)

Based on Tadokoro's explanation of how the Interhigh works, I would've expected Imaizumi's start to be just 1.55 seconds delayed. Why was the time delay actually 1 minute and 50 seconds instead? (Even if I misinterpreted the reading on the screen, it should still be 1:55, not 1:50.)

texts: Looking for the name of an 80s anime movie involving a spaceship of girls fighting aliens

texts:
I saw a great anime movie on TV when I was young, but I don't remember its title.

I suppose it is an anime movie from the early 80s.

The movie opens with a space battle with a lot of fighters and a spaceship whose crew consisted of only girls.

I think one of them is called Ruby. When the battle ends, an alien life form enters the spaceship. In an attempt to kill this intruder, one of the girls dies and the rest of the crew eject her body into outer space.

Later, for some reason, the spaceship starts to become unstable and everyone must evacuate the spaceship using a smaller emergency ship.

The controls for the release mechanism for the emergency ship does not work. One of the girls, who is revealed to be a robot, sacrifices herself in order to release the ship. The spaceship then explodes. All the survivors then land on a nearby planet.

One of the passengers on the ship is a baby which has the ability to grow supernaturally fast.

After a while, the alien enemy locates the planet and starts the attack. The movie concludes, when the baby, now a fully grown woman, does something in the ship that causes all the aliens to die in a huge wave explosion.

texts: Are there any episodes of Digimon that weren't dubbed to English?

texts:
During Season 2 there's a scene where Izie (I think) is explaining how the last Digidestined gave up their crests to restore the world. However, I don't ever remember seeing that. The only time I remember seeing them lose their crests was when the Tags and Crests were destroyed in the last episode of the first season, and they realize that the real Crests had always been inside them.

I'm wondering if there was an OVA or something that takes place between the first and second seasons where the digital world is brought to ruin and the Digidestined have to give up their crests to restore it.


texts: Is it possible to bring back Nagato (Pain) using Edo-Tensei?

texts:
During Nagato's last fight with Itachi, Bee, and Naruto, Itachi pierced him with his Totsuka sword.

As per the Naruto wikia page on Totsuka,

  It is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade capable of sealing anything it pierces.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.

My question is, can those who were sealed by the Totsuka sword be brought back by Edo-Tensei?

Does it seal the soul permanantly like Shinigami?

The same question goes for Benihisago as well.

When I was younger, I knew the Robotech Perfect Soundtrack perfectly. The RPS had most of the Robotech songs, and for a long time most fans thought it had all songs. Later some songs were pointed out not to be in the RPS and to the in the 80's series and movies (no new songs were added for a period of 20 years, since no animation appeared for 20 years), but this one I don't remember it at all. I don't think it was in the RPS. Which is the name of this song?

Robotech 2014 original soundtrack


texts:
As we know, the homunculi can heal themselves and don't age because of the philosopher's stone.

However, Wrath doesn't seem able to heal and he gets older, despite being a homunculus. I always thought that's because he is a human who was turned into a homunculus, but Greed can also regenerate, even though he still has Lings soul and isn't 100% homunculus.

Why isn't Wrath like a normal homunculus?

texts: In the new upcoming movie Dragon Ball Super movie it doesnt seem Goku is the same age than it was when Grandpa Gohan found him in the anime series. Plus he wasnt using an armor in the anime. Some people around say this was anime filler and that those events of the anime werent told in the Dragon Ball manga (something I ignore). Has Dragon Ball Super Broly changed the story of the original Dragon Ball story, or simply what we see now in the Dragon Ball movie Broly trailer is different than in the anime because those scenes from the original anime were filler?

texts: Is there any correlation between the CPU and CPU candidates' oppai sizes like there is with KanColle?

texts:
Hyperdimension Neptunia is an anime that is based on the console war. Its characters are based on the game consoles, namely, Sony Playstation, Microsoft XBox, Nintendo Wii, and the scrapped Sega Neptune.

Now, moving on to Kantai Collection for a while. Like Hyperdimension Neptunia, KanColle is based on real thing. Whereas Hyperdimension Neptunia is based on consoles, KanColle is based on warships. In Kantai Collection, there is a correlation between the size of the girl's oppai and the ship's displacement as shown in the following chart taken from its Wikia page.

Now, as we know, the CPU and CPU candidates in Hyperdimension Neptunia, all has varying oppai dimension. Question is, is there any correlationship between the oppai's dimension and the based console's attribute like KanColle has?


texts: Why didn't Ross' broken bracelet cause suspicion?

texts:
Rewatching episode 17 of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, we are shown several times Maria Ross' prison "bracelet" on her "corpse". The bracelet is shown to be broken even after Edward appears on the scene and confronts Mustang. (We are shown later that Havoc removes it after Ross escapes into some building.)

Given that this is the case, shouldn't there be a suspicion that this isn't Ross (by the relevant authorities)? Or is this simply glossed over (particularly since Ross' dental records were removed earlier, since the coroner doing the autopsy was effectively "collaborating" with Mustang, and since Mustang presumably has reason to have Ross killed?)?

texts: Why is Pride's name different from the word "pride"?

texts: When watching FMA Brotherhood, when van Hohenheim is talking to Pride, he refers to him as "プライド (Puraido) when he is talking to him by name, but when he is listing the seven deadly sins, he uses the term "傲慢", which is pronounced "ごうまん" (gouman). Is there any indication of why the character name is different from the term itself? This is probably true for all seven of the Homunculi, but I only noticed it specifically for Pride.

I'd like to know the Japanese name or tag of a type of video that used to be popular on Nico Nico Douga on 2007-2010 (maybe there are still some people making these videos but I can't find them anymore).

In these videos the creator would take a character from an anime and then put a phrase/scene from that character for each hiragana/kana syllable.

For example for Kagami from Lucky star (this is the video I remember):

あ(a) - Anta no tame janai.
え(e) - Eeeeto.
い(i) - Imi ga wakaranai.

I remember that there were many videos for many characters and anime but many of them were deleted and I can't find the videos I had favorited.

texts:
One underling of Momonga, Narberal Gamma (aka "Nabe"), accompanies him when he starts adventuring in episode 5. I'm guessing he chose her since she looks human and hence can blend in without needing full-body armor or illusion magic, as Momonga does, and as someone like Albedo or Demiurge would.

That's all well and good, but Narberal clearly isn't actually human - she expresses her disgust for humankind on multiple occasions, and it's pretty clear that this isn't self-loathing. What is she?

So when was the Hyuga clan formed? did Hamura came back and took someone and formed a clan? or is this just a plot hole?

texts: Is there a way to tell the difference between an Arc and a Season?

texts:
With Sword Art Online Season 1, there are 25 episode split into 2 Arcs, the first Arc, Sword Art Online ends with episode 14 while the rest of the season is the second Arc which is Alfheim Online.

In original Rozen Maiden series there are 2 seasons, season 1 end on episode 12 while the second season known as Träumend ends at Episode 25, likewise with Spice and World, both seasons have about 12 episode.

Now i am wondering, is there a way to tell the difference between Arcs and Seasons, i know i can't relay on openings as Sword Art Online has different openings for it's 2 arcs likewise with Spice and Wolf and Rozen Maiden which had different openings for it's different seasons.

So I've had this image for a while (just been trying to find it to use in the question).

I know that all four characters are from Shonen Jump and looks (to me) like a screenshot of an actual anime, but when I try to use Google reverse image search I either get other image hosting sites tagging all the characters uploaded by various users or a YouTube AMV. (I am assuming as it is an AMV I don't have sound but the description links to a song called "Hear Me Now". Also I don't see the image in question in the video so I think it's used as a thumbnail).

So I am wondering is there a Shonen Jump anime which stars Luffy, Naruto, Ichigo and Goku?

texts: If some of the higher-ups know about Oscar's gender, why is she still permitted to be in the Royal Guard?

texts:
In the first episode of Rose of Versailles, we see the patriach of the Jarjayes family designate his newborn daughter as his son and name her Oscar, because he is in desperate need of an heir to his office and his offspring only consist of daughters. Thus, it looks like a woman would not be normally regarded as an appropriate candidate for military duties. This makes sense combined with the gender roles alluded to in the first two episodes:

Girodelle initially refuses to duel Oscar on account of gender
Later he makes mention of "womanly whims" when she disappears in the second episode
The Jarjayes housekeeper laments that Oscar isn't treated like a daughter and hopes when she refuses to become an officer that she is doing so because she wants to be a woman.

However, both in this episode and the one that follows, it is shown that Oscar's gender is more or less an open secret: at least three people outside of the Jarjayes household know of it.

Girodelle (see above)
The woman who tells Marie Antoinette about Oscar while she is going to Versailles
The man whom Jarjayes talks to who proposes the duel between Girodelle and Oscar, although he tells Jarjayes that it's fine that Oscar is a woman

Given that a number of outsiders are aware of Oscar's gender, is there any in-universe reason why Oscar is still permitted to take on masculine roles, if being female was supposed to be an impediment in the first place? Or is everything fine and dandy provided that Oscar does not appear overtly feminine and so long as the average person isn't aware of it? After all, Marie Antoinette, Fersen, and Rosalie are unaware of Oscar's gender until they are told of it.


texts: What makes the mannequins different from the results of the sacrifices' human transmutation attempts?

texts:
In the manga / Brotherhood, we learn that the reason human transmutation is forbidden is because it would otherwise allow people to create their own private armies (at least according to the man who talks to General Armstrong after she's transferred to Central). Right after that, we're shown the mannequin "soldiers", implying that they're the results of some form of human transmutation.

But it's pretty obvious that the mannequins are different from the products produced by Ed, Al, Izumi Curtis, and Roy when they attempt (or are forced to attempt) human transmutation - in the case of the mannequins, the transmutation has actually produced what the alchemist probably wanted and is "successful".

Given this, what's the difference between the human transmutation referred to in the context of the mannequins and human transmutation as attempted by the sacrifices? Is the difference in result simply an issue of having a different intended result and/or maybe philosopher's stones, or is there potentially a different explanation for this?

texts: In danganronpa, what happens in a drawn vote?

texts:
Unlike the games in Liar Game, the rules of a Danganronpa game are sometimes made up or stated midway, which for me kind of sucks but is tolerable so long as the rules are consistent.
In Liar Game, afaik, the dealers have always accounted for all possible situations so whenever there are changes in the game, they state it outright. For example, in games involving voting, the dealers have stated what happens in the event of a draw.

Suppose in a Danganronpa game starting with 15 students,

all murders are committed by exactly one person (no collaborative murders during the act, but before or after the act is fine, assuming there would be some incentive) and to exactly one person (no multiple victims)

all murderers are successfully guessed and convicted (iirc, this is by majority vote) so long as there are more than 3 players

No one dies in a way other than being murdered. So, no one messes with Monokuma, dies of an accident, dies of health conditions (eg asthma) or naturally (eg old age), etc, but suicide is fine.

No murders will be hidden from the other students indefinitely, as in all corpses will be discovered or if the body is burned, then there will be enough evidence to say a murder has taken place and thus enough evidence for a classroom trial to be called.

Assuming the above situation is consistent internally and externally consistent with the initial set up of a Danganronpa game, such game will eventually come down to 3 students, whom I'm going to call Kotonoha, Yuno and Mion.
Suppose further:

The game continues (so it's not declared a draw between the 3).

Yuno dies, not of suicide or accident but murdered by Kotonoha or Mion.

If there is a corpse (body is not burned or anything), it will be discovered. If none, Yuno's death is discovered in another way.

Despite insufficient witnesses, a classroom trial will be called.

Questions:

So what happens in the event of a drawn vote between the two?

Generally, whenever there are an even number of voters in a classroom trial, what happens in the event of a drawn vote? Since it's not a majority, everyone but the culprit dies?

I would like to know what are the stated rules regarding this, if any, and from any media.

If I made any logical errors either internally (inconsistent with itself) or externally (inconsistent with Danganronpa), please point them out.
PS I'm done with the anime. Go ahead and spoil other media. But please use spoiler tags for others.
PPS Re 'Kotonoha, Yuno and Mion'

 Don't spoil please that it's Shion, not Mion.

Although unrelated, the reason why she did this might be something like this:

I watched this anime when I was in grade 4.
I still can't see why Sara (the orange mermaid) becomes a child.


texts:
I have seen Zun's artwork in both games and manga. Sometimes he shows that reimu have red eyes and sometimes she have dark brown eyes.

[Ignoring PC-98 games where she have purple eyes]

So what eye color does Hakurei Reimu have by default?

texts: When Edward and Alphonse try to transmute their mother, how come they didn't gain anything?

texts:
So, to my understanding, the idea of alchemy is equivalent exchange, in which you get in return as much as you gave.

This doesn't make sense to me, as in the beginning when they tried to transmute their mother back, Alphonse lost everything, and Edward lost his leg. They didn't get anything in return, or at least anything worth of a soul and a body. After this Edward transmuted his arm to get Alphonse back.

So, put in a calculation:

Things lost

Random piled ingredients which were supposed to compose the average human
Alphonse's body
Alphonse's soul
Edward's arm
Edward's leg

Things gained

A blob of purple stuff with Alphonse's soul affixed to it ( for a while )
Alphonse's soul

So, where the hell did the rest of the stuff go? And more importantly, why could they not just have transmuted everything back?


texts: Otaku in Japan are somehow equivalent to being geek, meaning they are tend to be bullied or looked down upon. That's why some don't admit that they are otaku because of shame. And there are certain cases of otaku becoming a hikikomori, (an example of this is in Welcome to the NHK where the male protagonist is a hikikomori) wherein they isolate themselves or withdraw themselves from society and a NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training), where they remain jobless. How true are these cases and is it true that most of hikikomori and NEET are otakus (like Misaki Nakahara in Welcome to the NHK)? Or hikikomori and NEET people tend to become otaku (just like Tatsuhiro Sato in Welcome to the NHK)?
