8:48 AM
@MadaraUchiha If doesn't refer to anything else other than the Index/Railgun series, then I'd say synonymize -> for consistency with whose's full name doesn't fit.
 
8:59 AM
@Mysticial index is problematic
@Mysticial Again, issue a meta-post on it, tag it , and by the number of votes we'll decide
 
Will do.
 
@madarauchiha do you think hat you could beat alucard in a 1on1 battle?
 
@Tartori Well, that depends
@Tartori In zombie mode, sure, I'll be able to beat him.
Without it? I honestly don't think so.
In a tiring battle, Alucard will win.
 
9:15 AM
Why not? You are the ,most power full ninja ever
 
@Tartori Simply because Alucard will regenerate from everything I can throw at him
 
Well that's true, so it would just be an unfair battle afterall
 
@Tartori However in Zombie mode, I am more immortal than he is, so it means that after a very very long battle, I will win.
 
Are you sure? He is still not able to die, so zou would just battle forever
*you
 
@Tartori He isn't "immortal" per se (I'm not talking about after eating Shrodinger), he just have approx 3 million lives
The battle would last for 50 years or so, but I'd win eventually
Either by sealing him sooner, or killing him after.
 
9:22 AM
Are you immortal then like 100% immortal?
 
Alright, I made the meta post.
Cast your votes.
 
@madarauchiha And you've infinite chakra., don't you?
 
@Tartori In zombie mode, sure
 
well then it's a fight of 2 (near) immortals till one doesn't want to fight anymore or dies
one. How about you against goku. You in non zombie mode (you would just be to strong in that mode)

Q: What should be done with the [a-certain-magical-index] and [railgun] tags?

MysticialCurrently we have the tags: a-certain-magical-index railgun Which refer to: "A Certain Magical Index" or "Toaru Majutsu no Index" "A Certain Scientific Railgun" or "Toaru Kagaku no Railgun" which are sister series in the same universe. However, a-certain-scientific-railgun is too long to...

 
9:34 AM
@Tartori Goku will tear me apart :D
 
well, he's goku isn't he :P
 
He is
 
OK that's not very interesting at all... I assume that you read a lot of mangas. I'm pretty new to that and read naruto, soul eater, fairy tail, death note, FMA and neon genesis evangelion. Now I'm at hell sing. Which ones can you suggest to read next?
 
 
2 hours later…
11:59 AM
@Tartori Have you tried One Piece. I love it. :) If you enjoyed Fairy Tail, there's a good chance you will like it.
 
12:17 PM
@Deidara-senpai Yeah, i wanted to read this one too. I haven't begun yet, but I'll defiantly read it soon ;) I heard Bleach is awesome too, is that right?
 
12:41 PM
hey
 
12:53 PM
Bleach is kinda okay. There are lot of good parts, but sometimes they just drag it a lot.
Bleach does give you plenty of interesting characters though. The plot itself may not be very satisfying.
Oh btw, feel free to join the Fairy Tail room. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/7335/fairy-tail-hangout-room I feel kinda lonely there. :P
 
@Deidara-senpai I'd join you there, but I do not see/read it :S
 
Oh okay. That was for @Tartori. Fairy Tail is good. It is my 2nd favourite anime, after One Piece.
Or maybe it is the 1st. Do consider watching it. :)
 
It is a long one, like naruto, one piece and bleach?
 
About 150 episodes so far, and about 300 manga chapters.
165, and 317 to be precise.
 
@Deidara-senpai I'll look into it :)
thanks
 
1:04 PM
you are welcome.
and yes, it is an ongoing series.
 
@Deidara-senpai that I knew
 
Yes, just thought let me clarify.
Which series do you follow regularly?
 
@Deidara-senpai regularly and ongoing only Naruto
 
but now I am watching Moribito
is the first in the twelve volume series of Japanese fantasy novels by Nahoko Uehashi. It has since been adapted into numerous media, including radio, manga and adaptations. Scholastic released the first novel in English in June, 2008. Media Blasters has confirmed that they acquired the rights to the anime. The series premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block in the U.S. at 1:30 a.m. on August 24, 2008 EST, but was dropped from the schedule without warning or explanation on January 15, 2009 after two runs of the first ten episodes. The program returned to Adult ...
 
1:07 PM
Is it good?
 
So far so good
but I've only seen 5 episodes
 
ok, I will also take a look at that. :)
 
@Deidara-senpai what do you follow?
 
I follow Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail. among the ongoing series.
I have completed Death Note (manga only), Tantei Gakuen Q (anime) and Gantz (anime only).
 
I've completed Evangelion, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, FMA, FMA:B
I've seems some Rurouni Kenshin
 
1:11 PM
I am also watching Cardcaptor Sakura and Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth.
Ah yes, I want to start Samurai Champloo and FMA sometime soon.
 
I've seen Death Note too
and Ergo Proxy
I'm planning to watch Hellsing and Afro Samurai
 
@MadaraUchiha hey
 
@JNat Both are excellent
 
1:13 PM
Afro Samurai, I think there's only an English version
Make sure no little brothers are next to you when you see it
 
@MadaraUchiha yeah, it was originally made in English
@MadaraUchiha I have none
 
There's more blood in those 5 episodes than all of Naruto, Bleach and Death Note combined.
 
@MadaraUchiha o.O
 
Wow, then I need to watch it soon. :D
:P
 
As for Hellsing, I liked the English version better than the Jap one
 
1:15 PM
@MadaraUchiha So you've said, I'll check them both when I start watching
 
@JNat Sure thing
 
has any of you watched the Kinnikuman?
or Ultimate Muscle?
 
not me.
 
is a manga created by the duo of Yudetamago, which is composed of Yoshinori Nakai and Takashi Shimada. The manga was published in Shueisha's Weekly Jump, and received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen manga in 1985. An animated series was produced using the Limited animation technique. About Kinnikuman Originally created as a parody of Ultraman, Kinnikuman was a clumsy goof of a superhero whose services were only called upon to battle monsters if no other superheroes were around. Kinnikuman's powers came from eating garlic (ninniku, ニンニク), which would gradually fill the...
it is a completely ridiculous series
 
Hmmmm
What do we tag questions when we want to ask about anime/manga in general
 
1:18 PM
@MadaraUchiha maybe anime-production?
 
For instance, I want to ask "What are Type A and Type B viewers?", how would you tag it?
 
@MadaraUchiha ok, scratch my above comment
@MadaraUchiha lemme think
 
good question, let me think.
 
@MadaraUchiha we have a tag, but I'm not sure it fits in there
there's the
it does fit in that one
 
Yes, terminology sounds good.
 
1:20 PM
the wiki for that one says "should be used in questions regarding terms and their use."
so it's a fit
 
Alright, sounds good
 
btw, we have a tag and a question about tower of god
I don't know much about it
but the wiki for that tag says it is a Korean webcomic
is that on topic?
is it manga?
 
@JNat link?
 
I am afraid, as per this answer, it doesn't fit. meta.anime.stackexchange.com/a/266/99
Manga (漫画) are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century.

Q: Why is Cassano called the "Devil of the Right Arm"?

Michel AyresIn the chapter 136, it shows Cassano saying: Why is Cassano referred to as the "Devil of the Right Arm" and not Horyang? They both have the same "devil" inside them, but Horyang has it on his right side:

the second one is the tag
 
1:24 PM
@JNat Doesn't that look somewhat like Hashirama to you?
 
@MadaraUchiha somewhat XD
I'm gonna have lunch
brb
 
It's very borderline, but since it already has an answer
I suggest we leave it be
 
Yes, but I think we should make it clear somewhere that it is "deprecated", like some of the older questions on StackOverflow.
For now, it is okay though.
 
We discussed this on chat a while ago and the consensus at the time was that it's "close enough" since it's the type of question we want to encourage. coleopterist's answers on the meta questions suggesting we allow manwa and manhua also got some upvotes, so I think we can allow these questions as long as they aren't too frequent.
 
Well, I am worried it might lead to "Why not Vietnamese, if Chinese and Korean is allowed?" Not a major problem for now.
By the way, how do you guys expand the links above to show a preview of the post? The links I add do not expand and there's no such option.
I didn't find anything by searching on SO meta.
 
1:45 PM
@Deidara-senpai Some links expand automatically when posted on a line on their own
Links to questions/answer/comments/user profile pages are expanded automatically
 
Links to wikipedia articles/amazon reviews/and some other stuff are expanded automatically
Also images are expanded automatically.
That feature is called onboxing.
 
onboxing. I didnt know that, thanks.
off-topic: Is onboxing a SE specific term? Searching for it did not get me anything.
 
2:04 PM
@Deidara-senpai I think it is
 
2:33 PM
It's oneboxing. :P
 
Thanks, found it.
:)
 
@MadaraUchiha and what if new questions about it show up?
 
@JNat I honestly think we should accept those kinds of questions for now
They are "close enough" to manga, and it's not like we have a real abundance of questions
 
@MadaraUchiha seems fine by me, I just brought it up because others could've just overlooked it
 
@JNat Someone suggested we use your ad-spot on Arqade to change the ads (in loop, regularly, like once per week). Would you be fine with it?
So that we show all of them as a sort of change.
 
2:46 PM
@Alenanno sure
fine by me
who will do that every week, though?
I'm not sure I'll remember it every week
 
Whoever remembers it.
:D
If we forget for 3 days, the world won't explode. :P
 
@Alenanno ok
@Alenanno you're free to change it now :)
 
@Alenanno We should really make one with this:
 
No idea how to caption it... uhm... thinks
 
Link to the Pokemon eating question :D
 
2:52 PM
:O
ahah cruel but effective lol
 
@MadaraUchiha yeah, but what would you write?
 
Do people actually eat Pokemon?
Find out more on Anime and Manga
 
@Alenanno maybe we should do the same with your ad at SF&F
 
Perhaps something cleverer
 
@MadaraUchiha ahah that's actually not bad.
 
2:53 PM
@MadaraUchiha ok, seems fine
@MadaraUchiha no, I think that's pretty good
 
Do we have a Meta question for the ads? We should have it, for easy reference.
 
@Alenanno: maybe write a comment under the post at Arqade so that people over there know what is going on
@Alenanno I think there is something
I'll look it up

A: How can we attract more users to this site?

WipqoznCreating community ads for the other sites would be an excellent way of promoting our site within the Stack Exchange Network. We probably won't want to advertise on all of the sites, but creating an ad on SFF seems like a good idea, and I believe Arqade would be another good site to target with a...

 
@Alenanno We should.
 
they appear referenced here
maybe we should create something for more visibility
and quicker access
 
Yes.
Are you guys doing it? lol
 
2:57 PM
@Alenanno I'm not, but I can
 
Ok please do it... I'll help you shape it later.
 
@Alenanno: I'm gonna write as a comment under my post at Arqade
We decided over at Anime & Manga that we will rotate the image that appears here, so that we can show all our ads without 'flooding' your site with them. Thus, we will change the image on the post every week or so.
seems fine?
 
@JNat Sure, even better than what I was thinking.
:D
 
@MadaraUchiha are you doing that post on meta about ads? Or can I do it?
 
@JNat Go ahead
 
3:01 PM
ok
 
nice
@Alenanno should we rotate on your ads at SF&F too or not?
 
@JNat Fine by me! :D
I have two there already lol
 
@Alenanno ok, then I'll delete my ad there
 
@Alenanno ALL OF THEM!
 
3:04 PM
If they ever being this here, I hope they use subs.
 
3:14 PM
@Alenanno I'm really scared of the day the decide to make one about Naruto
 
@MadaraUchiha Why? :D
 
@Alenanno I'm particularly scared it'll come out like Avatar the Last Airbender
 
@MadaraUchiha that was terrible
 
@JNat "But the effects were decent"
 
I haven't seen that... And I don't plan to. :P
 
3:16 PM
@Alenanno Don't.
 
It doesn't interest me at all... Right now I want to see Ghost in the Shell: Attack of the Cyborgs.
 
@MadaraUchiha should I post links to other meta posts on community promotion ads of every site, even though we have nothing there?
because they don't really need to be related to the focus of the site
since one of the objectives is to promote 'anything your community would be interested in'
 
@JNat Post only links of semi-relevant sites
 
ok
 
We won't advertise on Politics for example, but SciFi is a good option
 
3:19 PM
so RPG too?
 
On Scifi we have three ads already (well one and almost other two).
 
@JNat I'd go with RPG, Movies and TV (if they even have that yet), Gaming, SciFi, and Stack Overflow (because the audience there is huge)
 
You can't advertise on Movies and TV, it's still in Beta.
 
SO does not have a post for this
neither does MetaSO
only SU and SF
and probably every other site out of beta
 
SO is a special case for now... Its Meta is everybody's meta.
 
3:25 PM
game development?
 
There are anime games. :P
If you can think of a nice ad, why not.
 
@Alenanno ok, so I'll add that to the list
if anyone can think of something good
@Alenanno @MadaraUchiha should I ask, on the post I'm making, for people with ad ideas to drop something over here or as an answer on said post, so that they can have some feedback from the rest of the community?
since we will not have individual ads anymore, but rather ads that are supposed to represent us all
maybe we can ask for people to drop ads as an answer to that post, and we would then have the same vote system they have on those meta posts
 
@JNat Isn't the purpose of the post to offer viable candidates for posting on other sites?
 
Well, that was a solution for Gaming, on other sites do as you see fit. But users should post their ideas, one per answer in your Meta Question.
 
ok
@MadaraUchiha yeah yeah
 
3:33 PM
So we can offer suggestions.
But that's not... mandatory.
 
should the score treshold be the same?
a minimum of 6?
 
What threshold? :P
For us to use it?
 
minimum of votes, for it to appear
@Alenanno exactly
 
@JNat No threshold
 
For now no.
 
3:34 PM
@MadaraUchiha ok
 
If we get 500 requests then yes.
lol
No need to make it too formal.
 
@Alenanno We don't even have 500 posts on the entire site D:

@MadaraUchiha Exactly lol :D
I see you guys have already familiarized with being a mod. :P
Be careful: power corrupts!
lol
 
@Alenanno lol
 
3:38 PM
And no, we don't have cookies on the other side. :D
 
@Alenanno the staff said at the podcast that they have cookies for mods
:(
 
Ah they do?
Hello @Michel
 
hi
 
@Alenanno I think they don't
 
wow
@Alenanno Hello ^_^
 
3:40 PM
hey
 
kind slow around here...
 
What is slow?
 
@Alenanno I'l bake you some.
 
@MadaraUchiha Oh thanks.
:D
 
@Alenanno Only if you kill your best friend and awaken your Mangekyo though.
It's kind of a strict requirement of mine..
 
3:43 PM
have you heard the podcast?
 
Well fellas
 
they talk about us
 
I'm of to dinner
@JNat Really? Ping me with a link
 
ok
 
I'll see it later
 
3:43 PM
@MadaraUchiha lol
 
I need to go no, talk to yall later
 
Alex Miller on January 10, 2013

You’re listening to the Stack Exchange Podcast #40 (We apologize to everyone who expected Wil Wheaton last week)  Your hosts are David Fullerton, Jay Hanlon, and Joel Spolsky.  We also have a surprise special guest: Britton Payne, professor of Copyright, Trademark, and Emerging Technologies at Fordham University. He knows a lot of things about software patent law, so we grabbed him as he walked by the studio to talk to us.

About 15 years ago, Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to create some useful guidelines for the new digital landscape. We talk about what actually happens with the DMCA takedown notices, including loophole issues that Joel has discovered. …

well, I' off too
I need to get some work done
cya later
 
Later!
 
@Alenanno how do you make text smaller in an answer?
 
@JNat <sub>
 
3:50 PM
@MadaraUchiha thanks
I'm off
 
Anyone knows if VLC can plays dual audio?
 
4:09 PM
@Michel Yes, I think I tried that a few months back.
 
@Deidara-senpai Thanks =)

What's with the opaque black bg color on the alpha channel of the resized imgur chat icon ? Is that a rendering bug on imgur's side?
The actual image itself is fine, but when it's re-sized... there's that weird back BG
 
Yeah, Hell Butterfly's image used to look fine.
Something got borked.
 
It seems to only affect images with alpha channels... I'll see if I can report it to imgur.
 
5:20 PM
@JNat like my use of flags? :D
 
@MadaraUchiha What did you do? :P
 
@Mysticial I flagged his answer to have the "this is an example..." text into a comment
To better match the expected format
 
lol
 
@Mysticial It's like the PMing I never had
 
aha
You could also use mod messages - but that'll piss everyone off.
:)
 
5:27 PM
@Mysticial I know :P
 
I've always wondered what annotations I have on my SO account.
But I'll never find out unless I become a mod, or if a mod leaks it.
 
@Mysticial Which would probably never happen (the latter, not the former :P)
 
5:39 PM
In the podcast... the anime site shows up, starting at 35.16
"Do not go into their site and delete their question, Joel", is uttered at one point
 
6:02 PM
@MadaraUchiha yeah :D
@MadaraUchiha but you didn't have to 'sign' it, I see it is from you anyway
 
@JNat Yeah I wasn't sure
 
@MadaraUchiha next time you know :)
we both do, actually
I didn't know it either
 
Sounds like they like the site
But not the cartoons question :D
 
@MadaraUchiha I felt like only Joel Sposky didn't like it
(I'm not sure that's the name of the guy)
 
Probably Alex Miller (he posted the blog post)
 
6:10 PM
Well, one of them defended the question pretty well IMO
 
@JNat Yeah

Concerning the A/B Types I found this thread

I believe you missed part of the question. The limiters are there to prevent accidental misuse. It's like a safety lock for guns. There to prevent misfiring. But when you need it, you are free to remove it. — Mysticial 19 mins ago

This is the 2ch thread
 
@Krazer Ah
 
I'm having connectivity issues it seems.
In case you are wondering what "B'z" means, it's a rock duo.
My attempts to locate the A/B type thread on 2ch lead me to that thread
 
@Krazer Shouldn't the Sankaku article link back to the 2ch thread?
 
whats# up
 
6:43 PM
@Mysticial They should but they don't typically do for 2ch source articles, since it seems to drive to their page views
 
@Krazer What did you do this question 26 minutes ago.
I don't see any history from 26 min. ago.
Was there a deleted answer or something?
Nor was it reopened 26 min. ago.
 
what d o you chat about here
 
We're supposed to chat about Anime.
But lately we've been using it more for administrative stuff.
And I'm probably a little bit more involved than I should be for a non-moderator.
 
I dont watch anime just admire drawingslol......
anymore

Q: What are the animes where characters portray Buddha or Buddhist themes?

Eduard FlorinescuI like anime/manga and I love Zen/Buddhism stories too. Is there a list of animes where the characters are portraying Buddha or Buddhist themes or stories?

 
I wanna read tezukas buddha
 
@Mysticial JNat converted the answer to a comment. I edited the tag 23 hours ago.
 
im bored so I came here
 
@Krazer Did you edit anything 29 min. ago?
Since it got bumped to the top.
 
@user58512 There's an animated film based on it:
 
6:50 PM
There's only 3 things that can bump a question. A new answer, and edit. Or getting reopened.
Or the Community user bumping. (which is not the case here)
 
cool, although they screwed up on hi no tori I probably wouldnt risk watching that
 
Now it just got bumped again since Jon left an answer.
