Hm, the main char in this novel is part of a group called "Erorists". That should be interesting. /cc @StackedCrooked

I'm bored so I'm submitting a bunch of tag wiki excerpts...

Q: Is there any reliable source that explains the Tsugumi Ohba-Hiroshi Gamo pen name?

4:48 AM

0

It is said in some sites (including Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Gam%C5%8D) that based on some cross-references the Bakuman and Death Note author, Tsugumi ohba, would be actually using a pen name, being his true name Hiroshi Gamo, another 50-year-old mangaka that was some kind ...

this question could use some tag edits

morning

@Krazer retagging... feel free to rettag my edit

@Krazer removed the author names and penname tag not sure if they'll be used on other questions, but like I said feel free to rettag

> The secret organization of Erorists, "Eagle", has ordered our protagonist Takamura Manabu to pursue the mission of his career: "Seduce Queen Milk Elioto of the Big Breasts Tribe and Queen Teresa Premadasa of the Flat Chests Tribe and bring this war to a close."

@Xeo This what you're talking about?

10:20 AM

@atlantiza Ahah nice.

Tons of questions about Naruto lol

An virtually no questions on recent shows. :(

Not even on older shows, like Hokuto no Ken. :P

SAO is pretty much the only recent show I've seen show up.

And I answered one of them...

Madoka was the other relatively recent show that was asked.

SAO?

If you don't know that one, then you definitely don't watch new shows - at all. :D

SAO = Sword Art Online

10:27 AM

I guess not lol

It quite literally is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) show airing these last two seasons.

Even more than One Piece?

Excluding long-running shows.

:P

Among the shows that started airing these last two seasons, I believe SAO is near the top, if not the top.

I've always wondered, what % of people outside of Japan watch subs vs. dubs.

Along with a small % who watch raws.

10:37 AM

I'll tell you, the italian version on TV sucks.

For example, Naruto looks like a childish cartoon.

And so on.

Because anyone who watches dubs can't possibly watch new shows. If they make up the majority of the population, then that would explain why so few people watch new shows.

They censor a lot of stuff.

@Alenanno So it's dubbed?

@Mysticial In Italy everything is dubbed, unfortunately. Italian dubbers are really good in Movies and TV Shows, but I'd prefer to watch the original.

While I was at ACEN back in April, I was in a "Name that Show" competition involving music.

I got killed on everything about old shows.

10:39 AM

Oh.

But destroyed almost everyone on new shows.

Like what?

xD

Old shows like: Narato, Inuyasha, etc...

New shows like: Macross Frontier, Durarara, Arakawa

I still remember which shows got me into the final 5.

I swept like all of them. It was kinda hilarious.

Wow Inuyasha...

Or Ranma.

Those are old.

I remember Ranma appearing in that competition.

So I'm definitely in the minority...

Since it's clear from that competition and the types that are appearing these last two days, that new shows are not popular.

Probably because they are harder to access.

10:45 AM

Or maybe because they are still new. And some don't gain traction anyways...

That's possible.

I need to rewatch my collection. I'm pretty sure I have some question about the more headscratch-worthy elements of shows like FLCL or Madlax (.. or hell, anything by Bee Train for that matter), I just need to remember the details. :)

Sadly, Christmas = family time, so that won't be before 2013 rolls over.

11:04 AM

Why is it I can see the history of deleted messages on SO, but not here?

I can see flags here.

@Mysticial Are you a room owner there?

@Alenanno Yes

I guess that would explain it?

@Mysticial That's why, yes. :)

Hello @Xeo

@Mysticial Yeah, only room owners can see deleted messages.

Hey @Alenanno

@Xeo And mods. :P But I guess you gave that as obvious.

11:12 AM

@Xeo Which is funny, because I'm one of the newest room owners of the lounge.

I'd been in the lounge for 14 months now, and I've only been room owner for 3 months?

And then when you see a terrible mistake in a page that's supposed to help you with studying... You kind of lose faith in it.

@StackedCrooked Yeah

Kon'nichiwa Minna-sama!

@Mochan こんにちは！

"sama"?

...

11:14 AM

...

@Xeo 皆様 (Minasama)

@Alenanno おっす！元気ですか～？

@Mochan "みんな"?

@MartinSojka みな

@MartinSojka みんな

11:15 AM

xD

@Alenanno O＿O

@Mochan 元気！あなたは？

@Mochan Not my fault! The Dictionary lol

@Alenanno 元気よ～！

And I blame my stupid IME for turning な into あ while I wasn't paying attention. :)

shrugs

I guess minna is a variation? Don't know lol

11:17 AM

@Alenanno Ah. I see! Sorry, I have been going on the romaji way of it. Stupidly enough, I was corrected when I stopped using just 'mina'. That's why.

Yeah: Minna-sama is the usual romaji I've seen, but I'm not Japanese, so.

@Mochan You're not? Stupid question: you're not the one in the pic? XD

Anyways I am SO glad there is a Anime & Manga SE site! ^,^

"Minasama" and "minasan" is the usual way I heard and seen it ...

@Alenanno Hehe no, she's Korean :3

@Alenanno The picture is of a Korean actress/idol/model/...

11:20 AM

Oh. :P

@MartinSojka Perhaps we've been looking at different sources~ hehe

@MartinSojka Actress/singer :3

Son Ga-in <3

@MartinSojka and @Mochan where are you from?

@Alenanno Australia ^w^

@MartinSojka Yeah, though I find the "-san" version more common. Or even no suffix at all.

@Xeo It depends. I think you're all my superiors. Anyone with <1000 rep? Haha

11:21 AM

@Mochan Oooh... We live kind of far from each other lol

@Xeo I also think -san is used or a group of friends. Mina-sama is for a group of strangers (no offence :P) or people you have high regard for ! :D

@Alenanno Where are you residing?

Yo, mina-tachi

@Mochan I'm from everywhere and nowhere, the up and the down, from the truth and beyond, a place where time or space are not important, where everything began and everything will end... ... ... Ok, I'm from Italy.

@Mochan Hm, makes sense in a way.

こんにちは、@MadaraUchiha

11:23 AM

@MadaraUchiha While that doesn't make much sense, does it?

@Mochan Strangers is not offensive here, it's the truth lol

@MadaraUchiha Mou... another variation

@Mochan 131 rep, 1 question, 0 answers. You're among peers here. :)

@Alenanno Italy! Wow, that's awesome. I've never met someone Italian/residing in Italy! :)

@Mochan At your service. bows

11:24 AM

@MartinSojka Heh. I think I mean total rep :)

stackexchange.com/users/466356/madara-uchiha

=)

@Alenanno I would just fall to pieces if you said "Yes, my Lord." Any Kuroshitsuji watchers here?

@Mochan Total rep doesn't really matter most of the time. :)

@Mochan I'd like to see it. lol

@MadaraUchiha "mina" is already "all", and "tachi" makes it ... plural?

11:25 AM

@Mochan But I can't use "Lord" with you, can I?

@MartinSojka Especially when it's easier to get it on some sites than others.

Think SO...

@Xeo Everyones :P

@Xeo Hello, alls.

@Alenanno B-but it's a quote...!

2 mins ago, by Xeo

@MadaraUchiha While that doesn't make much sense, does it?

11:26 AM

@MadaraUchiha +1

As I said...

@Mochan Oh, didn't know that. :P

@Xeo I was gonna say, it seemed redundant.

@Alenanno That's why I mentioned "Any Kuroshitsuji watchers here?" they'd understand e . e

:P

11:27 AM

What's happening with the formatting?

No whitespace between * and text

I fixed it for ya.

:P

Noooo xD

Remove the space!

@Xeo OHHH

There! :)

I keep hearing the "PING" because you keep editing LOL

:D

Waaah gomen ne XD

Hahaha

11:29 AM

Ahah no problem lol

I don't mind.

@Alenanno If only it was "PING".

Any Reborn! watchers here either?

@Xeo pong

@Xeo Well yeah a kind of "peng".

LOL

Pung.

11:29 AM

@Mochan Aye

So sound-specific

More like "bwau"

@Xeo GASHUGJLQGTRFLW;UIGFV;Q

ermahgerd... just to warn you all... if you talk about Reborn! or Clannad, please ignore my rash fangirlism

lol :P

Ok let's talk about Pollon. XD

lmao

The chatroom would just be... overrun by tears... and laughing and e . e

11:31 AM

@Mochan Let's talk about Clannad. :P

@Alenanno I'm allergic. I have awful hayfever atm

@Mysticial nnnnnnng nooooo you'll kill me ;A:

Let's talk about Boku no Pico.

What's the most spectacular way to kill the main character?

Okay. Never heard of it :3

@Mysticial -death stare-

ahahahahahaha

11:33 AM

You...

We also have Higurashi. Kill all the main characters - every few episodes.

ANYWHO. Let's um.... idk breakdance on the ceiling or something.

@Mysticial LOL. Kind of glad I've never seen it.

Kill them, revive them - so they can be killed again... and again...

@Mochan The story is superb, though.

Sounds a bit like Mnemosyne.

11:34 AM

Q: Which is scarier/creepier/more disturbing - Higurashi or Elfen Lied?

Higurashi in the creepy aspect, definitly.

@Xeo // is too shota to withstand brainf*ck

Higurashi is amazing.

I am off, guys. Have fun! :P

@Xeo I think Elfen is more disturbing

11:34 AM

Elfen Lied may be more violent thanks to the Diclonii, but Higurashi wins the scary prize.

cya

@Alenanno Ja mata

The actual feel the sound novel has is ... just woah.

Mirai Nikki is also up there in the creepy yandere...

@Mochan またね！

11:35 AM

@Xeo ugh... not watching it until I find some poor male victim to watch it with me.

@Alenanno Ja ne!

@Mysticial Tell me how Yuno is creepy? :D

-lists more slang for see ya-

@Xeo Not Yuno, just the show itself.

Deadman's Wonderland...

Nah, Mirai Nikki is cool. The same author also has another manga currently being serialized - Big Order.

So I wanted to ask also, what's happening on the subject of Hentai: safe or dangerous to post about?

Doesn't intend to...

11:37 AM

It feels very similar to Mirai Nikki, with the main char looking nearly the same and the female protag also reminding you of Yuno.

Deadman's Wonderland... Nothing like Kana Hanazawa's voice among a lot of violence.

Opinions wanted

Though the femal protag is constantly trying to kill the main char in Big Order - and can't do that directly since he bound her through his domain powers and forbid that..

@Mochan Treat carefully. Question about the plot should be fine though, but I kind of doubt most of them have enough plot to discuss (exceptions like Cream Lemon exist, obviously).

The femal protag (Rin, IIRC) is also practically immortal thanks to her domain, so there are some funny situations.

11:38 AM

@Xeo Mnemosyne?

@MartinSojka Hehehe I haven't watched hentai. I've seen a little ecchi, but to the extent of Code Geass and Chobits ahhaa

Like when they're crawling through a long, narrow shaft, and Rin thinks it'd be an awesome idea to kill the main char through a ricocheting bullet. Guess who "dies"?

@Xeo Even I could guess that

@Mysticial Don't know that one.

Opinions wanted on this, too

11:40 AM

@Xeo You might like it. But has a lot of nudity.

The main character in Mnemosyne is also named "Rin".

That's why I was confused.

@Mysticial Kagamine Rin!! ^o^ joudan desuuu

@Mysticial Ah, no: myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=28697

And it's not like "Rin" is a rare name :P

@Xeo It's definitely a common name - Little Busters, Rideback...

And more, just can't think of them off the top of my head.

@Xeo Excellent AMV

►

:O

I have >1000 rep!

didn't even know

@Mysticial Rin from Little Busters! <3

The VN is so great.

11:46 AM

I can't get rep outside of SO.

:(

It's sad.

And her route especially.

@Xeo Mine?

@Mochan Can't watch it in Germany

From Ask Ubuntu :3

@Xeo Really? T_T

Why not?

And my goto recommendation for Reborn AMVs is this anyways.

@Mochan Blocked.

1 min ago, by Xeo

@Mysticial Rin from Little Busters! <3

11:47 AM

@Xeo W-w-w-why?!

@Xeo -facepalm-

Because stupid GEMA.

> Unfortunately, this UMG-music-content is not available in Germany because GEMA has not granted the respective music publishing rights.

Fuck GEMA.

@Xeo Well fuck them

LOL

I'm not allowed to curse on the Ask ubuntu chat TnT

My condolences.

I have been very deprived, @Xeo

I swear a lot

@Mochan Are they really that uptight?

11:51 AM

@Mysticial Awhhh you're too mean!

They're professional

Pff.

Pff.

I'd like to shout out to my friend on there, who is now apart of the beta - @AmithKK

Nah... it's hard to explain about how the Ask Ubuntu people are.

Oh yeah, @Mysticial, got to see the AMV yet?

@Xeo Link me again

11:52 AM

Ossu, @dgw

@Mochan Hi :)

o/

Well... ja mata ashita, mina-sama... oyasumi nasai yo/じゃまた明日皆様、おやすみなさいよ。

Ja ne~

G'night.

cya

11:56 AM

じゃね

Btw @Mysticial, if I ever get to watch the SAO anime, I'll be sure to skip the Red-nosed Reindeer part. :s

Anyways, afk shower.

12:20 PM

Anyone read the latest Naruto chap yet?

Oh, look who's here

Hashirama Senju

it's been a long time, my old nemesis...

1:45 PM

@MadaraUchiha Why do you always answer using the first person? lol

Am I the only one who kind of dislikes AMV videos? :|

1:57 PM

What about them? o_O

What's not clear?

What's not to like about AMVs (as opposed to any other MV).

When I go to Youtube I like seeing pieces of actual Anime with voices and stuff not fan-made music videos.

They are utterly boring. :P Well, apart from one or two.

Not all AMVs are fan-made. :)

►

Youtube is being crappy, I'll try later.

2:02 PM

hey @Alenanno , do you think this one is off-topic?

or do you simply think it will provide answers that cannot yet be proven?

because I think it would bring about two answers

the one Madara gave, and the opinion you have

that's about it

and I do not think they'd be subjective, since they could both be heavily substantiated

then it's about upvotes in each of them

right?

@Alenanno Let a man dream

@JNat I think that question is quite easy

Because it's obvious, the Sixth Hokage was decided and died, no matter how short his time was.

Try asking harder, more expert-requiring questions

@MadaraUchiha I disagree. I actually think the opposite.

The question is not really off topic, @JNat but it's quite... theoretical.

I mean, just the fact that I disagree with Madara.

@Alenanno So, if John Doe would be elected president at the country near your home, and is shot and killed two days into his time, wouldn't you consider him a president?

Would you count him as one, and list him as one?

Even if it is temporary, at least in our world, we still count it.

Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême

2:17 PM

Louis Antoine of France, Duke of Angoulême (6 August 1775 – 3 June 1844) was the eldest son of Charles X of France and, from 1824 to 1830, the last Dauphin of France. After his father's abdication in 1830, he enjoyed a reign of twenty minutes, and after his father's death in 1836 was the legitimist pretender as Louis XIX of France and Navarre. A petit-fils de France at birth, he was initially known as Louis Antoine d'Artois. After his father's accession to the throne, he became fils de France, and his surname changed to de France, following the royal custom for princes with such rank. ...

It's totally different from Minato, though.

Make that "20 minutes".

A practical example would be with Ariel Sharon, a former Israeli prime minister who fell into a coma during his presidency.

He was replaced by Ehud Olmert until the next elections, but he is still referred to as an "ex-prime minister"

Familiar?

This reminds me of how there was... I think a Mexican official whose office time was a matter of 18 minutes or something.

Ooooh, a community coordinator, welcome to my dream land, @GraceNote

2:19 PM

Heyho~

@GraceNote Hey Grace. :P

@MadaraUchiha I know Sharon, but not the other name. :P

Speaking of short-lived monarchs, I like the story of Sultan Sayyid Khalid bin Barghash of Zanzibar. Not only was his reign all of two days long, he also managed to be defeated in record time: The Anglo-Zanzibar War lasted all of 38 minutes before he surrendered.

Were they the last 38 minutes of his term?

2:35 PM

@GraceNote Pretty much, yes.

3:48 PM

@GraceNote he was facing the British, too. They citied a treaty from 1866 which stated that a new Sultan could only accede to the throne with British permission...

Hey

@Krazer Hah

@JNat By the way, hope you didn't take my comment personally. Same for you @MadaraUchiha. I just had some doubts about the question.

@Alenanno I don't tend to take things personally over the internet :)

@JNat, congrats on edit priv :D

@MadaraUchiha That's nice. I'm going to kick your a** in a ninja duel, though! Because... I'm actually SANDAIME! lol

XD

3:54 PM

@Alenanno That's the best you could come up with? Sandaime, really?

P.S. have anyone read the latest Naruto chapter?

Actually that was a trickery... I won't be revealing my real identity yet.

A: Is it possible to combine all five chakra elements?

Not sure why this was downvoted though, I think it's correct...

1

Chakra element combination is supposedly a born train. A Shinbo is born with one chakra element, and can master a few more (secondary elements). However, in some clans, such as the Senju (which I detest), they were born with two elements, (both Earth and Water), and they could naturally combine ...

Oh?

I didn't read it earlier, let me check.

@Alenanno -sama, a more polite from of -san, is an honorific. Typically it's used with -san to address strangers.

@Krazer That was a wrong ping. :P

@MadaraUchiha "Chakra element combination is supposedly a born train"

Did you mean Trait?

3:58 PM

@Alenanno probably

:P

@Alenanno That way I'm covered from both sides

It can either be born, or it can be trained :D

@Alenanno I guess what I mean to say is that 皆 has 2 kun pronunciations みな and みんな

@Krazer Ah so it was for me lol

@Alenanno I initially misread your initial msg. There's even a SE question about this, if you are interested~

4:07 PM

Oh thanks! reads

@Krazer Three, actually. There's also むな ("muna"), though it's uncommon.

Logan Maingi

@MartinSojka I think むな is only used in names, though my dictionary could be wrong. There's also an 音読み, カイ

@LoganMaingi Your dictionary is right; it's still a kun reading of this kanji. :)

@MartinSojka so four, if you count the "on" pronunciation :)

@Krazer That ... wasn't what you originally said. :)

In any case, "minna-sama" (which is what started the whole discussion) is sure to raise a few eyebrows. :D

4:18 PM

@MartinSojka but... I said two "kun" pronunciations~ ;'o

@Krazer Yes, and "muna" is one of them.

@MartinSojka aren't they usually considered nanori (名乗り)?

Yey, new avatar :D

@Krazer I'll have to check what my (Japanese) electronic dictionary says they are, but most online dictionaries like ja.wiktionary.org just show me On (in Katakana) and Kun (in Hiragana).

@MartinSojka Ok :)

4:29 PM

@Alenanno not at all! Especially because I think it is healthy to ask questions that may be closed at this stage of the site. So that we can understand what is considered off- and on-topic

hmm

I have a good question to pose

however, I am not sure how to title it without spoiling new readers of naruto

nevermind my last 3 posts here...

I forgot something pretty basic from naruto

@MadaraUchiha: I didn't think you'd replace your avatar

I though you were kidding

lol

:D

@JNat Like the fact he's supposed to be a ninja? I don't blame you, knowing how real ninjas operated. ;)

@MartinSojka lol no. i forgot that copying jutsus was something that any sharingan user could do

so I was speculating some wild thoughts that are actually basic and known

never mind

heh... real ninjas would dress as peasants :)

lol

4:43 PM

our 'dressed all in black' ninjas come from Japanese theater, where the stage hands would be dressed head-to-toe in black to avoid distracting the audience. To simulate 'coming from nowhere', the stage hand would suddenly be part of the show. :)

... and that comes from the theatre convention to regard anyone and anything in black as "invisible", even if it was cleanly visible on-stage.

@jkerian I thought the idea was from puppet handlers of bunraku theater

@Krazer I don't remember right now which form of theater it was from...

if it was kabuki or bunraku... (Noh seems unlikely)

I wonder when black ninja costumes caught on
