Q: What anime has a big scary ass mantis?

Riley SpectorSo when I was younger I saw some particularly odd anime where someone was violently killed by a big mantis. The main character had a red and blue belt that let him transform, or give him a costume. I can't find any hints to what it is. It was on adult swim.

 
Am I moe?

Q: Name of This Anime

H053iNCan Someone Tell me, name of this anime plz?

 
Heads up: we will be performing a read-only test in our new data center on August 1st (this Saturday). http://stackstatus.net/post/125387022934/read-only-test-august-1-2015
 
@Sakamoto See, we need to VTC questions like this because they don't fit the 2+ required pieces of information for audiovisual ID requests.
@Sakamoto And this one.
I also wonder what kind of emergency requires an anime identification request.
"Help! I've been kidnapped and they will only let me go if I can ID this anime! I HEAR THEM COMING OMG HELP ME"

SarahShe said it was a survival/horror type manga and that there was some huge thing with fireworks (I think she said it took them to the survival thingy, but idk). She said only two of the people survive, a guy and a girl, and that the ending is adorable because it ends with them being together.

Q: Anime anime anime

user15957Anime (Japanese: アニメ?, [anʲime] ( listen)), also informally romanized as animé, is a term used to refer to Japanese animated productions featuring hand-drawn or computer animation.

Not sure what this user is doing. The only thing that comes to mind is that they might be attempting to poison the spam filter.
 
poison it how? im not well versed in these things
 
Bayesian poisoning is a technique used by e-mail spammers to attempt to degrade the effectiveness of spam filters that rely on Bayesian spam filtering. Bayesian filtering relies on Bayesian probability to determine whether an incoming mail is spam or is not spam. The spammer hopes that the addition of random (or even carefully selected) words that are unlikely to appear in a spam message will cause the spam filter to believe the message to be legitimate—a statistical type II error. Spammers also hope to cause the spam filter to have a higher false positive rate by turning previously innocent words...

Q: How does Bayesian poisoning work?

James BradburyThis answer mentions Bayesian poisoning in passing and I've read the wikipedia page but don't feel I've fully grasped it. The first case, where a spammer sends a spam with a payload (link, malicious file, etc) and includes lots of non-spammy "safe" words seems obvious enough. The aim is to bring...

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Now we need to pin it up on the main page...
Permanently
 
@JNat If we can start worrying less about dealing id-reqs and focus on asking other questions, we can send a message stronger than "nope, off-topic." It's a user problem rather than with the type of questions. We can lead a horse to water, but we can't get it to drink. If the horse complains it's thirsty, just remind them that you bought them there, they need to drink for themselves

@SakuraiTomoko evolution at its finest
 
So, does Tomato evolve into Toshinou Kyouko, or was it the other way around?
 
@Morwenn Morning ^_^
 
8:58 AM
age old question
 
@SakuraiTomoko Chicken & Egg, Tosh & Tomato
 
Genetically speaking, the egg comes before the chicken.
Since the chicken was a new specy at some point, the first chicken egg was produced by something that wasn't technically a chicken.
 
I was an egg every time before I was a chicken.
 
also dinosaurs had eggs
 
how sure are we that dinosaurs weren't just chickens?
 
9:06 AM
are we chicken
 
Maybe tomatoes are actually dinosaur eggs
 
that must be why they were extinct
all the babies get eaten
 
no dinosaurs are tomato eggs
 
Rest in Tomatoes
 
egg tomatoes are delicious
 
9:08 AM
@Matt Eaten by Toshinou Kyouko?
Must be a pudding then
 
Suggestion: Change "Why are there so many restrictions?!" to "Why are there so many restrictions!?"
 
I wonder whether a dinosaur's egg tastes delicious.
 
@Morwenn If you're a raptor...
 
Clever girl
 
@SakuraiTomoko Don't you want to eat a dinosaur omelette too?
 
9:10 AM
Dinomelette
 
I wanna eat @ToshinouKyouko
 
Oh.
 
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
Fresh tomato
 
It's not Cretaceous, it's audacious!
That's the slogan for the omelettes
 
9:12 AM
so, tosh is edible ?
 
@Septian Don't you eat tomatoes?
 
red = poison
red ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
I recall a certain somebody's imouto, Reysis vi Felicity Sumeragi, likes to drink virgin's blood (tomato juice)
 
Anyone here ever eaten reptile eggs?
 
9:16 AM
Does anyone actually like tomato juice? There's delicious juices like apple, orange and pineapple, why would you have lumpy ass blood drink instead?
And no, any good?
Although 'reptile' is a rather large bracket
 
@Matt I do
 
you can have it in a bloody mary
 
@Matt Well, snakes and the such
 
Has anyone watched Hiiro no Kakera?
 
@LoganM Nope
New?
 
9:18 AM
@ToshinouKyouko I'd rather have the vodka straight, they put all sorts of nastiness into a bloody mary
 
It looks like I'm probably going to have to watch it, and the only thing I know about it is from reading a random VN review in 2007 or so which made it seem like a rather average otoge.
 
@SakuraiTomoko Why eat snake eggs when you can go to China and eat their still beating heart while drinking their venom?
 
If it's really bad I'd rather know that going in.
@SakuraiTomoko no, the anime is like 2012 or so. The VN is from 2006 iirc
 
@taisho has so much random scenery
 
9:20 AM
@Morwenn I'd rather not
 
@SakuraiTomoko Me neither. One wound in your digestive system and you're dead. But I've read somewhere that it's an actual thing.
 
I think I'll stick to fish & chips
 
@Matt Fish & chips are great. I know one where they have excellent handmade tartare sauce & mint/split peas sauce.
 
@Morwenn Nice, tartare sauce is pretty good
I'm also a fan of mint sauce, but I can't say I've had it with fish before
 
9:36 AM
Pixel movie is that bad ?
 
@SeptianPrimadewa 2 words: Adam. Sandler.
whoo, 18% on Rotten Tomatoes
*Rotten Dinosaur Eggs
 
9:55 AM
@LoganM Lots of talking, a bit hard to follow (poor pacing) if you haven't played the game, overall it's not bad. More of a Type A thing than a Type B thing. If you enjoy reverse harems, spunky heroine, mild violence with super powers, and lots of talking (esp S1) you might enjoy it.
 
@Matt boring ;p
 
@Tyhja Hey, you can't go wrong with fish & chips
 
@Matt Of course you can. Ironically, the worst fish & chips I ever ate was in England.
 
Is it even fulfilling to eat fish and chips?
 
@SakuraiTomoko fish sliced so thin that it looks like chips :D
 
10:10 AM
Anything the size of small sandwich fulfills my stomach.
 
@Morwenn Sounds about right :L
 
@Matt same
 
@SakuraiTomoko Of course not, but it can't kill you (generally), so in my book that's a "you can't go wrong"
@ToshinouKyouko In any case, Sambuca is the best spirit
Never mix it with something, because it'll just taste like aniseed, but if you take it straight, it's the best shot around
 
are we getting drunk here
 
Hey, drinking alcohol does not always mean getting drunk :o
Except in shôjo mangas of course.
 
10:22 AM
if we drink then aren't we drunk :D
 
If we play with the passive voice, it's the alcohol that's getting drunk, not us.
 
ok , i should stop playing with english word which i am not good at :D
 
If it was made using Death Fish like in the sims 3...

Q: Why do Japanese anime characters shout so much?

Jony AgarwalI would like to point out this incident from NHK ni Youkoso anime - Episode 21(11:12 to 11:34).

I have written below a sh...

 
@Morwenn I had to raise an eyebrow after everyone gets drunk on chocolate liqeurs in Nisekoi. I know they're only young, but how do you even manage that?
@mirroroftruth Always, my friend, always
 
@Matt ew
licorice
 
@Matt how can you say always when you have age restriction
 
@Matt A friend of mine who currenty lives in Japan told me that they really don't hold their liquor. But chocolate liqueurs seems at tad bit extreme to get drunk.
 
mmm
chocolate
 
@Sakamoto @Matt how is this a trope? The OP fails to make any connection outside the tagged anime
 
aaaaaah
 
@ToshinouKyouko It's sweet and delicious
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ The title's generalised, and this quote at the end made me think otherwise "This is one instance which I have cited here but I have seen this sort of thing in other animes before."
 
@Matt it is gross and horrible
 
By the way, the overdramatism and people constantly expressing their emotions far more than they should is a reason I generally don't watch anime.
And that's also the reason I found the original Hellsing far better than the remake.
That, and the music of course.
 
10:51 AM
 
@Morwenn yeah that is starting to get to me
or rather
the way they say it
in all caps, terrible english and with no intent of having a real discussion
 
@ToshinouKyouko Looks like I'm bringin some sambuca as well as apple pie on this trip
Nobody can hate t'old sam after a night drinking with Matt
 
@Matt calling one thing a trope any only citing one media hardly reinforces the point imo
 
What I also don't like in anime are pointless "what happens in my head" sequences when it's obvious what the character is thinking. When I watchd the original Hellsing for the first time, that's also what I liked: you see the characters, you don't hear what they think, but it's obvious and you can guess it; you're not forced to listen to something you already know. Not having these thoughts improves the drama IMHO.
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ The term 'trope' might be a bit loose for the question, but I think the answer is still relevant
 
10:57 AM
okay
 
@Morwenn yeah, that's especially bad in shows targetting towards male teenagers
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Should I rollback the tag out?
 
matters little really if you explain why it's not a trope

In any case, it's about 1/3 done
 
@Matt hmmm

@ToshinouKyouko It's where the previous frame is shown transparently on top of the current frame
 
So you can trace over it, but make slight changes
or just draw willy-nilly like me

Have you used flash or anything like that

idk that much about it

you can do animations too
but i dont think its that extensive

Q: Oregairu Volumen 9 Chapter 6 Hikigaya Hachiman’s desired genuine thing

KokomiReally I do not understand the meaning of this phrase, which is what they are looking for and can not explain? "Yukinoshita Yukino’s held beliefs. Yuigahama Yui’s sought relationship. Hikigaya Hachiman’s desired genuine thing."

 
@ton.yeung The second season is quite hard to understand for me...
I didn't quite get what Yui wants in the last episode - I kind of guess that she was about to say that she wants to confess and go out with Hachiman, but I didn't think about the part where she wants to stay friend with Yukino, until I read the reddit post analyzing the series

Q: Which trope is causing physicall harm to objects

Dimitri mxDuring the series it happens quite often, Naruto does something stupid (usually sexy jutsu related) and gets hit on the head. Followed up by this huge 'bump*' on his head. Which happens quite often, even in other series. Now what catched my eye is that 'objects' also seem to be affected by this ...

 
While I can see Yukino struggle, but I can't understand her progression
I can't quite see how that matches up with her way of doing thing "one should improves themselves rather than changing the environment" in the first season
yeah
