Q: I'm trying to figure out what manga this is from shonen jump

Brendan ThompsonSo I'm trying to remember a manga I read the first chapter to in shonen jump. It's about a high school guy who somehow gets bound to a demon. The demon requires the humans permission to use his powers and if the human rejects his request the leather collar around the demons neck tightens. The dem...

Q: Why didn't the Dragon slayers disappear when the eclipse gate was destroyed?

Nix R. EyesDuring the Grand magic games, they were not able to actually defeat all the dragons that came out of Eclipse gate. The dragons as well as future Rouge and Lucy just disappeared and went back to their own timeline when the Eclipse gate was destroyed. But as Zeref stated, Natsu and the other drago...

@Quill i think i would die if i saw Titanic like this
 
I'm getting some new images to upload to taisho
I think 200 is probably adequate
 
@Quill you going to tag them?
 
of course
most will probably be yuri ;) but yeah, I'll try to tag them as best as I can
 
1:37 AM
@Quill well if you tag any as yuri use the current tag 百合. i dont want to have to choose between #yuri 百合 and #yuri yuri
makes things too hard
 
yeah, I know, I gotta read the meta on it too

Q: Music of Prison school (Kangoku Gakuen)

math45I like the epic music which is often played in Prison school, but I didn't find its title or anything about it. This music begins (for example) at 10min 18s of the 12th episode (season 1), and ends at 12min 04s. Here is a streaming link to the video to hear this music.

Q: What does different words mean actually?(Furi Kuri, Kuri Kuri)

abhishah901Some place it says, it's 'fooly cooly', which I presume to be some cool foolish fun or something. But then there are other terms I don't understand link 'Furi Kura', 'Kuri Kuri', etc. Also I'm still not convinced with the online explanations of 'Furi Kuri'. Please can anyone explain all such term...

@ToshinouKyouko I say don't apply common rules to IDs like closing because as everybody knows by now, sometimes someone does identify things just from 1 pixel or 1 word correctly
if the goal of helping people discover anime is at the top of IDs' existence, then it should help the cause
applying regular rules just doesn't help

@Hakase its not about identifying, its more about keeping a quality standard for the site
Imo
Rin :)
 
tomato
 
@ToshinouKyouko I don't think there will ever be enough quality among the IDs to even match the rest of the site
and I don't think it's about quality at all regarding IDs
 
This isn't a review of all the Id requests though, just the image-based ones
 
if you don't think like that, I suggest you ask the relevant part of our users who answer those questions if they think quality is above ability to answer most people's ID requests
ok I might have missed that part
even so, I think the relevant users' opinions should be gauged in a straightforward manner
 
7:20 AM
It seems to be worth talking about if many people feel this way indeed
 
I suggest a simple poll instead of the usual vague long meta post that not everybody will read or want to upvote/downvote
 
It seems that it would be confusing to a new user if we are inconsistent with our rules though, and perhaps frustrating
 
@Quill is it like linguistics? i'm not sure what types of questions would work for any language
@ToshinouKyouko that's the thing − IDs are not like the rest of the questions and they work by different rules
 
@Hakase I really don't know... looks interesting though
 
7:24 AM
it's already confusing that we don't operate like a forum, and I don't think this additional distinction between IDs and the rest is gonna be a significant obstacle for anyone, at this level of entry
 
Sure, but if we don't enforce separate rules, we get flooded with crap
 
let's not try to dumb down our system to cater to uneducated new users, when it doesn't cost that much to educate them
 
ok my yet another attempt at helping improve the ID situation falls through

@ardaozkal that last one wasnt too bad, just needed to add some linebreaks to make it easier to read
but generally most new users post crap ones
 
Nah, in general.
#post something normal. I can't concentrate with that on screen.
 
8:33 AM
 
@Memor-X SE websites usually care about more exact questions.
Those questions help only a few people, but more exact questions about animes can help thousands of people.
 
and the 34 vote one isn't even identified
 
lol
 
@ardaozkal i find ID request useful at times for discovering new anime or manga. but that's just me
 
yeah i stopped answering in SE because the askers were shit

@Tyhja I'm sorry

@Tyhja is that an invitation?

@Memor-X I just ask here, or hit the random button on Crunchyroll.
 
9:00 AM
Ah, I found the word
"too localised"
 
@ardaozkal generally i'm not seeking out/looking for new titles unless they are Shoujo Ai/Yuri, mainly because my list of anime to get is probably nearing $30K about now and i don't need to be adding more to that on purpose

@Sakamoto Why is this upvoted? the question makes little sense and the links don't even refer to the terms mentioned
OP fails to draw an relationship between the terms mentioned and the series
Anyways... fooly cooly is an Americanization of "furi kuri," which is a romantization of フリクリ in Japanese. The word itself doesn't actually mean anything though
Furi kuri also sounds like the Japanese onomatopoeia word for fondling breasts "kuri kuri"
no clue what "furi kura" is
 
9:27 AM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ and 2 are from urban which generally you don't take seriously as a dictionary.
 
@Memor-X Anime really is an expensive hobby
Anyway, has anyone seen the news about Katou Megumi's full size figure?
 
@nhahtdh and that's just anime, not manga, light novels, art books or merch
 
@Memor-X Light novel should be slightly much cheaper
 
yo i am back
 
Per series, I mean
But if you follow multiple series, it doesn't help
 
9:31 AM
Anime is indeed expensive
rip anime wallets
 
If I calculate the damage I had done to the anime/manga/light novel industry, it's at least 6 digits, probably 7 digits
 
@ToshinouKyouko costs about as mush as gaming. less than $60 Complete Series of an anime.
 
@Neil but I need ALL the new anime, wheras I usually wait for discounts on games
 
@ToshinouKyouko why don't you wait ?
 
although, my current viewing is mostly crunchyroll & some review DVDs
because there's not much price drops
I don't spend too much month on month, just occasional purchases
 
9:36 AM
Are the quality of the DVDs OK?
Or is it worse than streaming?
 
@nhahtdh DVD quality is 480P
 
@Neil Yup, I know
 
@nhahtdh its better than streaming
 
@Neil Don't think so, streaming can be 720p
 
I can stream Crunchy at 1080p
the DVDs often come with fun extras though
 
9:39 AM
 
It also helps when I am without internet
 
@nhahtdh then if your streaming quality is above 720P then DVDs will have a note able quality difference.
 
My point in that question is whether they do a good job compressing the DVD, so that it's still watchable compared to 720p
 
it's definitely watchable
 
@nhahtdh here is a screen shot of elfen lied DVD
 
9:41 AM
the only thing i really notice is when there are stepping gradiants
 
@Neil What anime are you watching that a complete series is $60? For most shows I buy that's roughly the price of 2 episodes.
 
 
@Neil Yup, this is acceptable
 
@ToshinouKyouko Banding is usually visible for dark scenes
 
9:43 AM
@LoganM do you import yours? / bluray?
 
yeah I usually import blurays
 
@LoganM why would you pay $60 for 2 episodes.
 
I guess if you buy the localized versions it's cheaper
 
localized copies are around the 60 mark for a full series
yep
 
@LoganM Corpse Princess: Shikabane Hime - Complete Collection is $40
@LoganM Angel Beats $50
 
9:45 AM
@Neil That's the going rate, which is why I only buy series that are really good.
 
@LoganM what series is that.
 
That's the general price for one BD volume
 
@LoganM do the imports often come with bonuses like art booklets and stuff?
 
^Depends on the series
 
9:46 AM
I see
 
And whether it's the limited first edition or not
 
As much as I'd like to buy those copies, It's prohibitively expensive for me
 
12 episodes $60 that as far as i go.
 
my main outlet is manga
so many books in each series
 
9:48 AM
I usually look for scan of those material. Sometimes they are included in the rip, but not always
 
@ToshinouKyouko they usually come with some extras, but it depends
Generally you can figure out what they include pretty easily though.
 
Also, if you know Japanese, the original sometimes comes with commentary track
 
I have a feeling localized dvds sometimes only have the streaming quality drawings - no redraws
oh cool
 
(So far, only the commentary track from Monogatari series is worth listening, TBH, but I collect them for other series anyway)
 
Yes, you can get cheaper localized releases, but they're extremely variable in quality. Some are almost as good as the original Japanese releases, while others are much worse and not really any better than what aired on Japanese TV or via streaming.
Generally speaking, I'd rather not risk that if I actually like the series enough to spend money on it.
 
9:51 AM
^Agree, if I have the money, I'd go for the original Japanese release any day
 
Also, if you buy the Japanese release, your money goes to the anime studios that actually made it and need to get sales to turn a profit. Even in small numbers this helps, since most series only sell a few thousand copies.
4
If you buy it from the localized ones, the studios generally don't get anything (licensing contracts usually are a fixed rare and don't include any portion of the revenue) and the company that gets your money will turn around and use it to produce a mediocre dub of whatever they think the next big hit will be.
 
10:11 AM
@LoganM i would buy strait from japan if i had a way of confirming if the series i was buying was subbed. atleast until i learn enough Japanese to be able to enjoy the series as i learn more
@nhahtdh which in there lies the problem
@Neil x # of new series released a season x forever
 
@Memor-X Amazon.co.jp often has that information, but tbh, you don't want the subs that are on Japanese releases. They're rarely done by professional translators, or indeed by anyone who knows English well enough to write a grammatically correct script. Sometimes they're just done by someone in the studio who is learning English in their free time and wants to practice.
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ anime.stackexchange.com/questions/188/… do you know where i can look at this map?
 
@ToshinouKyouko ?
 
" Last year, they published an English-language "Japan Anime Map" that highlights the locales in the country with ties to anime."
 
10:21 AM
@ToshinouKyouko jnto.go.jp/eng/animemap
 
@ToshinouKyouko did you check the link?
 
oh
my screen was at an angle >_>''
There should be a bigger map
for every anime ever
this seems like a project i could do
hmmmmm, I want to go back
 
eat this next time
 
every time I see this I get so hungry
sweet tooth awakens
 
10:33 AM
what is that red thing
it looks kinda gross
 
I'm crying now
looks so sweet
I want everything on there
 
@ToshinouKyouko sweet red bean paste, つぶあん
 
that dropbox
I suppose it's gift wrap options
I just got back with hojicha
it's okay
can't say it's really good but I haven't made it for a long time
 
the guy in the new tea shop said he prefers to boil it, like pu erh
 
10:38 AM
I don't really like red bean
 
so I gotta revisit both teas' preparation methods
 
red bean can nice if done properly
 
never tasted that red bean thing
 
i had it a few times in japan
i always thought it was chocolate, but it never was
 
I heard foreigners sometimes think kvas is a special kind of non-alcoholic beer :p
 
10:42 AM
ooooo choco.....errrggh.
xD
 
lol wikipedia image looks like jarate
does anybody know about kombucha?
ah that's the tea mushroom thing
that was popular in russia also at one point
weird shit :D
> The American Cancer Society says that "Serious side effects and occasional deaths have been associated with drinking Kombucha tea".[5]
that thing just looks dangerous without drinking it
 
that stuff is basically hot water filter
 
10:46 AM
@Hakase yeh our Cancer Council says some weird shit as well, like that meet causes bowel cancer
 
the way mate is usually consumed, the strength of infusion is always changing
@Memor-X I suppose if you abuse meat in a certain way, it could cause cancer
like extra super fat bacon every day
 
@Hakase AFAIK health issues have only arisen in cases of improper home-brew, which is possible for all fermented foods.
 
that bowl is way too small for this fish
 
fish is ~20cm
fishbowl is ~5L
no oxygenation equipment
fake plants purely for aesthetics; further reducing tank space
lack of moss and algae indicates PH level unbalance or chlorination
 
10:49 AM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ sakana best brew
 
lol
i have a big fishbowl at home
no fish tho
idk what to do with it
get a robot fish
 
the poor guy can't breathe or barely has space to turn around; obvious animal abuse. Judging by its size it will die by the end of the series due to the neglect
 
@ToshinouKyouko put a tomato in it
 
my friends have glass fish in a bowl, everything is for aesthetics, no living creatures, no harm done
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ is that your final answer
@Hakase glass fish op
 
@ToshinouKyouko is someone trying to tell us something?
 
not all tomatoes are the same
 
does it mean the one that drowns is better?
 
@ToshinouKyouko tomato-powered propeller?
 
10:53 AM
@ToshinouKyouko and a good test is to throw you in the water and see if you sink or swim?
 
@Memor-X yes
 
I'm not a witch
 
@Hakase pretty sure it originated in Russia, or at least has been there for a long time. It definitely isn't Japanese or Chinese; in Japanese kombucha means tea brewed with seaweed (kombu) and is perfectly safe.
 
*takes out notebook looking like he's doing serious research* hmmm, it appears that the Mod variety of Tomato not only sinks like a stone but appears to emit a sound as it sinks similar to the sound of someone yelling "GET THESE CONCRETE SHOES OF MY FUCKEN FEET!".
 
ye that's what got me confused − I saw it before as a seaweed tea only and now it's mushroom drink also…
 
10:57 AM
@Hakase they're completely different things

Also, technically, it isn't actually a mushroom. It's a colony of yeast and bacteria
Anyway I definitely wouldn't drink the stuff.
Not because I think there's any serious risk to it, but any tea marketed primarily as a "health drink" usually tastes terrible.
 
yeast is bacteria
