YAY WE HAVE HATS!!!
6
@LoganM Woo
@LoganM puts on tophat
@MadaraUchiha you can now wear a Mod hat. Oh wait, you already have one lol
@iKlsR Your hat doesn't fit very well
Lol, just noticed that if you wanna opt out, you just need to click the link "I hate hats"
Dec 16, 2013 00:10
Yeah that is true. People who don't hate hats have to deal with hats.
oh, now i get the whole hats thing, totally forgot about Winter Bash......half the worlds winter started 15-16 days ago, what was the delay
@Memor-X They time Winter Bash so that it corresponds to the period of lowest activity on most sites, so that they can hopefully avoid a big drop over the holidays.
i could have so many hats if the system just went though my profile(s), i would have the gold and tumbleweed hats for sure
Dec 16, 2013 00:27
@Memor-X It only counts posts during winter bash for the most part
It looks like I managed to time my fanatic badge on MO to fall right in the middle of Winter Bash, so I'll get the gold hat.
As for tumbleweed, I should be able to manage that one.
Meta guru badge seems impossible though.
At least unless I post on MSO or something.
Dec 16, 2013 00:42
@LoganM yay~ Winter Bash is a-go-go~
here's a loli to celebrate~
Yay Ren-chon!
@Memor-X 's hat fits perfectly
Kray kray where yo hat
@LoganM my head can swell
@JNat i have 2, both would fit perfectly but i choose the one which looked more regal
@Memor-X I think everyone has 2 so far, except for the mods, who have 3. Not sure though.
Dec 16, 2013 00:53
@JNat 3 for me
@iKlsR You a mod.
Or do you mean 3 here?
here
i got 2 here, ones the old hat, the other is the one i'm wearing now
oh
@iKlsR According to your profile, you only earned 1 here, actually
Dec 16, 2013 00:54
i got two here, others are from other sites
@iKlsR pick it up, phones!
the secret hat is a mod hat.. oh
Looks like some people started voting to try to get the voting hats
@LoganM I noticed too
Maybe that will net me a badge hat.
Dec 16, 2013 00:55
o.o

the secret hat looks like the scumbag hat ...
Oh I didn't realize that I can't get tumbleweed twice on the same site. Looks like I can't even get that hat here.
@Krazer looks like Dr Watson

Q: Does Suguru even have voice acting?

Logan MIn Non Non Biyori, Koshigaya Suguru is the older brother of Komari and Natsumi. Most sources note that he has essentially no presence and very little speaking in the series. This is played for humorous effect a number of times. I'm wondering if he even has any spoken lines or voice acting in the...

Q: White Album 2 anime and VN question

pakuI want to start watching the White Album 2 anime but I want to play the VN also. I heard that the story from the anime is different than the game. Is this true? Because I would rather play the game first if it's the same story, but if it's an new anime original story I will watch it first. Thanks!

Dec 16, 2013 02:06
@iKlsR
I'm up to 4 hats
Am I the only one who is not excited for hats at all?
@Eric yes
@LoganM Laaaaaaaaaaame.
@Eric Sorry, too busy trying to figure out how to get this secret hat to respond
Dec 16, 2013 02:31
We should all agree that if we discover how to get a secret hat to post it here.

Q: How does the memory wipe work in Gakuen Alice?

kuwalyI've been reading some of the recent episodes of Gakuen Alice, and Mikan had her memories of the past two years (since she stared at the school) wiped. When she seems Natsume, however, she ends up remembering him. Are there any explanations about how it works or why it fails? I didn't see any, bu...

Aviation just hit 100% commitment. It should go into beta after Ebooks, which was delayed due to the start of SO in Portuguese.

Q: What are the differences between Anime and Manga?

kalinaI have often wondered, what are the differences between anime and manga? Furthermore, what are the differences between these two and what would be called "cartoons" to the rest of us? Is this purely down to where in the world its made or other cultural differences, or is there more to it?

Up to 7 hats
@LoganM dam, you beat me to it but your answer has more info than what i would have had so i wont bother putting my answer up
@Memor-X Maybe I should have waited so I could get the hat for stealing a checkmark.
I really want that hat it looks fantastic.
Anyway feel free to post your answer too if you want.
@ton.yeung Most people got those 2 hats.
Currently tied for #12 on the network for most hats
man I need to get all the hats
these hats are great
@ton.yeung It's a menorah. December 5th was the last day of Hanukkah this year.
@LoganM i thought it was a frenchy way of saying "a big stupidly topped off with burning candles"
Dec 16, 2013 03:35
Just out of curiosity, when are list type questions permitted?
@krikara If it's a list of anime or manga then it's almost always too broad. If it's an in-universe list then we have these criteria
@ton.yeung no idea
too busy getting hats to try to figure it out either.
How do we get more hats?
What's the secret :D?
@krikara HACK THE SYSTEM!
@Braiam teach me the hax plox
@ton.yeung I don't know everything. I only know the things I know.
And right now I only know about hats.
Dec 16, 2013 03:41
@LoganM Is everything a subset of the things you know? XD
Man ... the hats are showing up in chat for me.
@krikara really? I don't get hats in chat.
lol my hat obscures so much stuff.
I meant aren't ***
Oops
@LoganM yeah, Senyoujara?
I don't think we'll get hats in chat. Didn't happen last year.
@Braiam That's a Hanekawa reference actually, but close enough.
arg! I hate it!
I suck translating names :(

Q: What was Suguru's relationship with his counselor?

krikaraAfter Suguru died, his heart was implanted into Kakeru. Suguru's former counselor seems to play a psychiatric therapist role for Kakeru and says certain things to shake him up. Why does she do this? What kind of relationship did she have with Suguru to make her play mind games on his younger brot...

I want the Hello World Hat...
shucks
I need to find some site to post on to get that one.
When you get one hat, does it apply for all the sites?
@krikara You can wear it on any site, but it still tracks which sites you've earned it on separately.
Somehow I got 2 silver badges today. I wish I got a second hat from it.
omg I need to write a presentation for tomorrow but all I can think about is hats
@krikara from the looks of it your avatar doesn't like hats

I seriously have a darn SE account in all the interesting (at least for me) SE sites!?!?!
@Memor-X Yeah... Angels aren't suited for hats
FOUND ONE!
@Braiam You could always just ask a basic math question or something like that.
@ton.yeung Yes so you need to get them now while they're still around!
BTW I need another starred post for one of the hats.

lol I was going to post something about lolis but I got starred anyway.
Ask a basic cooking question :D That's my plan

Dec 16, 2013 03:55
@ton.yeung Nope, unfortunately.
If the hats worked in Chat, that would be an entirely different tho
@ton.yeung They have leaderboards though
@Braiam You already got 15 helpful flags?!
@LoganM AU gets too many NAA :(
and Imma 10ker
@krikara you cheater :(
@Braiam Seems like being only on this site may be a serious disadvantage for me.
@Braiam I'm probably going to cheat for some of them.
Already have my tumbleweed attempt posted. Just need to wait a week and hope.
Dec 16, 2013 04:03
Hey man no cheats here. But I wish I had the hax for all the hats to rise to the top of the leaderboard :D
Dec 16, 2013 04:23
Finally got the edits hat
Had to resort to editing tag wikis because I didn't want to bump too many posts.
Dec 16, 2013 04:40
@Braiam We are tied for most hats network wide
Where's the leader board for that one?
I can get another if I find good questions to upboat :P
@LoganM This just says "SHAT" over and over again. Shame on you.
@Eric Disagree there is a π/2 phase shift which makes it into HATS.
Dec 16, 2013 04:47
@LoganM My brain does not parse with relation to fractions of π. It uses a priority queue to parse likely phrases in a sentence, which results in "HAT SHAT SHAT ... SHAT S"
reanimated is difficult to me and Robocop needs a while
I already got reanimated. Robocop will be very hard.
Oh the Horror is very likely impossible.
@ton.yeung +40 net score and accepted.
@ton.yeung Post an answer which gets a net score of +40 and is accepted.
@ton.yeung Even MSO is hard to get +40 and accepted. +10 to +20 is easy, but +40 is pretty rare.
@LoganM , you just lost your top spot. Gotta regain that position and rep the Anime StackEx
@krikara Actually I've been 1 hat below JoshC for about an hour now
Trying to find another hat I can get easily.
@ton.yeung Rep cap is only possible if more people upvote me. Tumbleweed needs to be a question posted during WB, so it will be a week (but I found a pretty good way to get it)
@ton.yeung Community Wiki
I already have that one IIRC
Dec 16, 2013 05:03
Tumbleweed should be easy to get in Anime SE. I get them all the time
Just ask a question about some really obscure anime that no one here watches
@krikara It used to be hard, but now it's not so bad.

Q: why there are no popular manga based on light novel?

student080705639CMIIW, why there are no popular manga based on light novel? I know that there are many anime based on light novel that are popular such as Sword Art Online, Oreimo, Monogatari Series, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, or Kara no Kyoukai. But for some reason, no popular manga adaptation from light no...

My god, China lag just had me post the same thing a million times
@krikara i though you was trying to make a point that you was on the same page

They really aren't. China gov is so greedy, they won't even cough up the money to watch over everyone XD
on the same page
ahhh, i can't do it, firefox is just dying so slowly that it refuses to crash

@ton.yeung your confusing China and the USSR for the NSA
Dec 16, 2013 05:46
Dang, shots fired
Is there any place I can download Dragon ball z and Naruto?
as episodes
@RubanSavvy What country are you from?
India..
I love both of em
Hmm... I don't know how the downloads work from there
Hmm.. Then how can I watch it?
Dec 16, 2013 05:47
There are more BMWs in Shanghai than police cars
@RubanSavvy Try gogoanime , they stream with many different sources
@ton.yeung but their not very secret
isn't that right Mr Director of the NSA
@krikara Thnx. :) I'll giv it a try..
What a good man
You can't get me now though, I am in the motherland
@ton.yeung it's Mr Director
No not high, just somewhat delirious
It's like Itachi placed Izanami on me and I can't face reality
@ton.yeung Lol no. Nothing like that.
Just a normal guy living in Shanghai
Dec 16, 2013 05:56
@ton.yeung have you not seen Undercover Boss
that's how they always respond
@ton.yeung Don't worry, I like to think that I am like Deidara. Hit the world with a bang
I have a chance at a Hello World hat
@LoganM Link?
Just need this post to get an upvote.
@Ton.yeung Heh yea
Dec 16, 2013 05:58
sorry wrong link. Fixed now
@LoganM Are you in grad school?
@krikara Yes
Everything in that post is true

Congrats on the hat
Just as I got to 12, he got to 13.
Still, now I'm #2 without any ties.
Dec 16, 2013 06:34
@LoganM you have too many
@Washu I'm almost out of ones that I can get easily.
I need to find an accepted answer that isn't very good so that I can get a marauder hat.
Also I need a revival badge hat and a repcap hat.
Those are the only easy ones I'm missing right now. The other ones all will take some time.
Forgot about the close/delete hat
@LoganM if you need help tell me
@Washu You can help by serially upvoting me
(lol jk)
@LoganM lol, well good luck :P. Im off to bed
Dec 16, 2013 07:32
Okay I think I've found a way to get Robocop, though not on Anime. That was really worrying me for a second.
Dec 16, 2013 08:25
Back into a tie for 1st place network wide
Now I just need one more hat to go into the lead

Q: Do we want the [reference] tag?

senshinThe reference tag is, in my opinion, a pox upon Anime.SE. One cannot be an expert on "references". However, one can be an expert on some related topics: Some references are Japan-cultural and can be tagged with culture; some are puns/etc and can be tagged with japanese-language. Both of these...

omg it's 3:30 am and I haven't even started writing my presentation because I've been obsessing about hats.
I really need to lay off the hats for a while
Dec 16, 2013 09:15
Anyone want to trade bounties with me just for the hats?
Wait is that allowed?

I'm seeing some questions that are obviously just for the Hello World hat. kalina's above and this one by ManishEarth are just a couple of examples.
@Sakamoto All we need to do is get this question closed and I'll be #1 in the network for hats
Dec 16, 2013 09:43
Did Kalina get the Hello World hat for that question? Because that is a god awful question lol.
@krikara yes she did
and it's not a very good question, but my answer is at least hopefully alright.
Luckily she's still 1 behind me so even with Hello World she's not the big threat.
Haha nice
But there are users who I'm currently tied with and who don't have it. I'm considering attempting to deny it from them as long as possible by downvoting any new questions they post, but I think that's probably technically against the rules (and hard to pull off because I can only downvote on a few sites).
In the end, not worth it, but it's something to think about.
Question closed
Waiting for hat to show up
Hat showed up in inbox
now reloading leaderboard page until I'm #1
#1 IN THE NETWORK FOR HATS! I AM THE GREATEST HAT COLLECTOR THERE EVER WAS!

Okay I think I will stop it with the hats for now, for real this time.
Dec 16, 2013 10:01
@LoganM It is not allowed, no.
You still up, @LoganM? What time is it there?
@JNat 5 am
@LoganM Damn
I just really wanted as many hats as I could get.
@LoganM Well, I hope it was worth it :P
