@Eric I'm geting a no hotlinking "Q" image here
 
@Krazer works fine for me
 
oh
haha
subtle
 
@LoganM this is a direct parody of the Fujiya mascot, Peko-chan
 
12:34 AM
@Krazer Is the other one also a parody of this?
 
@LoganM the K-ON one?
 
2 hours ago, by Logan M

probably
 
^That's the one I was talking about. Also the one that I was going to ask about.
 
chances are good that Peko-chan is the origin of the meme
 
12:40 AM
Yeah I think you are right about that. She does seem to predate all the other examples and is popular enough to be referenced as much as she is. It's a bit surprising to me that there isn't more information in English about the character.
 
I guess since the confectionary brand isn't as commonplace in the US, no one paid any mind to and just passed it off as a silly face.
 
I was able to find some more examples and some decent sources claiming that it is Peko-chan.
 
@LoganM When does Peko-chan date back to?
 
@Krazer Do you want me to post this as a question on the main page or just leave it? I'll let you answer it if you want of course.
@Eric Older than dinosaurs
Not really, but she clearly predates all the references to that face that we've found
 
@LoganM Go ahead, but I'd rather give someone else a shot at the rep
perhaps a new-ish user
 
12:54 AM
@Eric Seems like 1950 according to fujiya-peko.co.jp/pekoworld/profile/index.html
 
@LoganM lol 永遠の6歳 (forever 6 years old)
 
Wow. Older than dinosaurs indeed.
She's older than my parents! Jeez!
 
@Eric psh sherlock holmes is older.
 
@Krazer But Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock Holmes.
 
@Eric good point
 
1:02 AM
Thank you. I thought it was a very nice tautology.
 
@Eric Welcome to tautology club.
 
But thanks for the invitation, without it I wouldn't have an invitation.
@LoganM Oh, I've been a member for as long as I've been a member.
 
Here, you might enjoy this webcomic series: cucumber.gigidigi.com/archive/page-1
 
1:18 AM
This series needs more fanservice IMO.
 
1:30 AM
Do you guys think we should have separate tags for all the Yu-gi-oh series or one for all of them?
 
I don't think so. If we do that we have to do it for pokeyman
and digimon
also precure
 
Okay that makes sense.
Isn't this one a duplicate of the other male tsundere one?

Q: Anime with male oranyan point-of-view

xjshiyaThere are anime which I have already watched that narrates based on the male protagonist's point-of-view (not an oranyan). For example is Ano Hana, Clannad, etc. And a lot more anime with main tsundere female protagonist's point-of-view. I'm looking for another example of anime (plot more incli...

It's better written, but it's asking for basically the same thing.
 
@LoganM I think he was trying to scope it better.
 
he could have just edited it...
 
@LoganM The deciding factor on this for me is whether or not the questions will have different answers based on how they're tagged. (i.e. Is something true in one series, but not in the others?)
 
1:43 AM
It's still basically the same underlying question
 
I'm going to make a meta post about this and our list policy in general. I appreciate what the OP is doing, and to me it seems like he's trying to follow our policies, but I don't think there's any way this is a reasonable question for the main site no matter how it's phrased and no matter if it complies with our policy on list questions.
 
it feels a bit too localized to me, either way I don't think it's a good question
 
It sounds like he was asking for a recommendation
but I figured it was more along the lines of a "does such a show exist"?
 
1:59 AM
but the different between this one and the other one is only marginally different and the accepted answer is almost the same
 
2:22 AM
Yeah, it's marginally different. Didn't see that his old question got a bunch of new comments
maybe that spurred the new question

^^ expand the comments on that
 
I need to go to sleep, I'm starting to see things
 
@Mysticial What have you tried?
 
Also over 80% of traffic has been search traffic for this month so far
 
@Eric What have you tried to make me answer what have I tried.
 
2:37 AM
@Mysticial I've tried the direct approach. It does not appear to be working. There's no crash or error logs, just excessive sarcasm as output.
 
2:50 AM
Folks, we've reached a milestone... 100 s
 
@Krazer We hit that a few days ago actually, when Madara and Deidara-senpai got their bronze tag badges. We hit 100 naruto in the recent questions list today, which lists how many questions were asked "recently" (I can't figure out what criterion is used for this), but we have 108 total at the moment.
 
it would seem so
 
3:26 AM
That butterfly seems to take forever to get here. Anyway I'm off for the night, but I've made 2 gigantic meta posts for all of you to get bored while reading.
See you guys tomorrow.
 
Night. :P
 
g'nite~

Q: Do we still like questions asking for lists of anime/manga/etc.?

Logan MIt seems to me that every time someone comes to our site wanting to ask for a list of anime, we get into arguments as to whether or not it's acceptable for our site. This rarely happens with any other types of questions. On the one hand, people site What is the status of list questions on this si...

Q: What should we do with non-series tags without many uses

Logan MI went through all the tags which only had at most 3 questions tagged. The following are all the ones which do not correspond to a particular series, person, or studio, ordered in the same way they are ordered at http://anime.stackexchange.com/tags. These seem to be the most controversial tags, t...

 
@Washu HAI. SLEEP. BAI.
 
4:44 AM
@Eric Y U SLEEP?

7:30 AM
Here's another one I just ran into:
 
8:31 AM
Hello, I just want to ask.. what is "rollback"?
 
rolls back to a revision.
Somebody edits your post. You don't like it. You roll it back.
 
Oh I see. Thanks a lot! :D
 
 
3 hours later…
11:13 AM
@Mysticial where's that from?
 
 
2 hours later…
1:38 PM
We've been getting some "why did the do it this way" question like this and this. I don't think these questions are constructive, and oftentimes they lack an official response, but what do you guys think?
@JNat Senran Kagura (Epi 4)
 
@Krazer the latter is not good, but the former I fixed in a way that I think makes it fine. no?
 
2:01 PM
@JNat the former does seem better, now that you've updated it
but what to do about the latter? the question is just inviting speculation
 
2:21 PM
@Krazer I think leave a comment and close it
btw, @Krazer did you see the post we made last night? on FB and G+
 
@JNat lol the shout attack one xD
 
yeah XD
will you take care of posting stuff on FB today?
 
Alright
let me find a some interesting articles
 
頑張るよ
 
@JNat 頑張ってる

Hi all
 
@Washu harro

@Krazer please help with grammar :/

Q: Why does Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle has the same characters like Sakura Card Captor?

WashuIn the anime Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles the main characters have the same name and look like the characters of Sakura Card Captor. How was this possible? Is it available to use other characters of other animes into your own without having copyright issues?

@Krazer I see too many unanswered questions ._. i will take this week to see if i can answer one
 
3:47 PM
@Washu if you are unsure of your grammar, please post the question in chat BEFORE you submit it
 
:(
Ok last time ._.
@Krazer sorry :(
 
 
2 hours later…
5:32 PM
@Krazer Do you think the question "Who is credited as the creator of anime?" is not constructive?
Oh, Krazer left. :( @Mysticial?
 
@Eric I can see how that would be problematic.
Without an official source, there would be nothing but speculation. So yeah, I'd call it NC.
 
I hate having feelings......
 
5:56 PM
@Eric please can you add spoiler tags to this question? anime.stackexchange.com/questions/2991/…
 
@Mysticial Alright. There is a widely accepted answer, I think, but I don't want to risk debate.
@Washu Ergh, the hard part is the title.
 
@Eric What happened to the members of W.I.S.E at the end of the manga?
 
lol
Read my mind.
:P
 
:)
It seems that our stats are not improving at all...
 
Our q/d is back up to 4.5. That's a great improvement.
 
5:59 PM
I think we should fix the Answer Ratio and the % Answered
I should have been more specific... the stats that are in our hands to improve are not improving
like those 2
 
% Answered is fine right now. 89% is damn close to 90% and it's just due to the questions rush. I do think there are unanswered questions that can be fixed, but it's not worrisome.
Answer ratio has been a concern for a while. We need to take a look at older questions and see which ones have subpar answers.
If we can get every stat into "Okay" or better, we're doing really well.
 
6:21 PM
@Eric i agree :)
@Eric ZOMG INDIE SPRING SALE IN STEAM
 
@Eric what do you mean? as in the production or title of work?
 
lol, that troll is at it again...
 
@Mysticial the religion troll?
 
@Krazer yeah
There was a flag a couple minutes ago...
 
What the drama this time?
 
6:33 PM
I already closed it. But it was in one of the islam chat rooms.
Somebody (presumably Ali) flagged a comment that was responding to him.
 
6:45 PM
anything juicy?
they should nickname him 'Ali-boo-hoo'
 
I didn't bother look any closer.
 
oh well :p
 
7:03 PM
BTW some of you might enjoy this: chrome.com/maze
It's a marble maze game that binds your smartphone to your PC through those shareable tabs. Once you've opened the same tab on both platforms, you'll be put in control of a metallic Nexus Q lookalike, steered by the accelerometers baked into your smartphone -- as well as power and jump buttons.
You'll need a phone that's running at least iOS 5.0 or Android 4.0 to make the connection
 
7:20 PM
@Krazer Do you think this question should be closed?

Q: How come Hashirama Senju possess huge and terrifying chakra?

Paarthi NamikazeIn the past three Naruto manga chapters, the story goes like this: child days of both Hashirama and Madara, and he (Hashirama) is just like every others in Naruto: a normal human being. But when Orochimaru revived all four Hokage in front of Sasuke, Hashirama raises his chakra level to threaten T...

I see a lot of duplicates link in the comments
but it is not closed
 
@Washu the links are similar questions, not exact dupes. This question is specifically asking about Hashirama, so it's alright.
 
Hmm ok
 
7:42 PM
@Washu It's like there is a question about how bikes work, and there's another question about why some guy's bike is so fast
both are bikes but one is a general one on bikes while the other one is a more specific on about the mechanics of someone's bike

8:09 PM
TV Tropes appears to have been hacked by a phishing site. Just a heads up.
 
It's not even loading for me. Looks like they managed to take down the site completely.
Thanks for the heads up though.
 
user20683
@Mysticial I do what I can
 
8:24 PM
One of the funniest things I've seen in quite a while ^
See the whole series
 
8:56 PM
hello
 
Ohai.
 
@caveman gello!
 
@Washu Are you gellin'? Ellen is gellin'.
 
:)
lolcode.com is down :(
 
:(
 
9:16 PM
 
lol
 
I can't tell if that's a moe bodyguard or a badass maid. xD
 
@Keen hey do you think we can post an ad to promote KLU on Scifi
 
@Eric sister bodymaid
 
@Krazer Works for me. :D
Hey, can anyone name a shota character who wears a hood? I just need a reference for a drawing.
 
9:22 PM
does a scarf count as a hood?
 
Sadly, no. :(
A hooded sweater is what I'm going for. I've been basing it on Hiraga Saito's, but his collar is too tall for my liking.
 
@Washu Go ahead. Why ask in here instead of the scifi.SE chat room?
I recommend posting a link to your ad once it's posted in our chat so you can get some votes.
 
@Eric mina and kana from yozakura quartet wear hoods
 
@Krazer Ahh, perfect! Thanks!
 
@Eric technically they are lolis
 
9:33 PM
@Keen because I'm shy >.<, and ok i will do it later :)
 
@Krazer That's okay. The figure is close enough for a basic ref.
 
@Eric there's also Nintama Rantaro:
 
Is... everyone wearing a hood? lol
 
it's all a part of being a ninja
 
Gotcha. xD
 
9:43 PM
Also Inga in UN-GO
 
Interesting fashion choice... are those ears?
 
@Eric it's a panda
 
@Krazer That's amazing. I want one.
 
@Krazer OMG! You're kidding!
 
9:53 PM
maybe she'll sell you one
she does other things too, aside from plushies: eitanya.deviantart.com/gallery
 
@Krazer Once I get enough money to be an otaku, I'm all over this. :D
 
@Eric Being an otaku is expensive. The trick is to get lots of money from your parents.
 
@LoganM I already owe them.
This is the sad reality. :(
 
@LoganM or get a tv show to fake it: dannychoo.com/post/en/26887/Image+of+an+Otaku.html
 
@Krazer That guy's room is amazing. He has almost twice as much stuff as I do.
 
10:06 PM
He has like 700x more than I do.
My collection is really just two DVD sets, a necklace, and a halloween costume.
 
@Eric necklace?
 
@Krazer Two actually. One is Sora's from Kingdom Hearts. The other is a flamel based on the design on Ed's jacket in FMA: Brotherhood.
 
@Eric you didn't get the pocketwatch?
 
@Krazer Nah. Too much to carry. I travel light. :P
My pockets have stuff in them already.
 
@Eric get more inventory slots
 
10:14 PM
I need to level up first. :(
 
How much more?
I have Rare Candy
 
@Eric I'm pretty sure Ritsuka (Loveless) wears a hood in some of the promo art
I'm moving in the opposite direction... getting rid of lots of old fan-stuff
 
@jkerian Why? :(
 
Mostly because I don't mess with it too much anymore
 
If we're still talking about hoods, Mio and Ritsu from No Thank You! (season 2 ED 2) have hoods.
 
10:20 PM
@LoganM It's always a good time to talk about hoods. ;) And yes, I'm writing all these down.
 
All this talk about hood reminded me of this video:
 
11:08 PM
2 months later...
 
@LoganM Whoa, where the hell did April go?
 
11:42 PM
@Eric right here:
 
@Krazer lol
 
@Krazer ... Thumbs up
