Q: Is Higurashi Kai horror?

Christopher FranciscoWatched the first 3 episodes of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai (yes, the second season) and there is no horror, nor it's tagged as "horror" on the site I'm watching it; opposed to the first season.

> Fire occurred at around 12:45 PM on October 4
Dude (age 40) lives with three other people in the two story home, including his father (68) and mother (73). The identity of the fourth person isn't stated.
Four people were injured, suffering from burns and other unspecified injuries. This includes the above three people and a female relative (62) that lives nearby.
About 30% of the home burned down (37 square meters out of a total of 125).
Fire department reports that the son was upstairs and accidentally dropped a lit oil-based lighter into a garbage bag, igniting the fire.

Q: When was the anime toast in the morning trope started?

ZilvaraelFor the longest time we would see things like energy drinks and other such items in the mornings with anime now the big one is toast. How long ago did this start and how did it get so popular?

+1 This is something that a lot of people have looked into, and no one can figure out exactly where it started. This answer accurately represents what is definitely known at the moment to the English-speaking community. — Logan M Jul 19 '13 at 18:50
 
I have no memory of writing that comment, but okay I guess
 
@ton.yeung wut
@LoganM were you able to summon a trump hurricane to clear out those kindergartner hackers?

Also, now that I think about it, why didn't I just look for the answer in Japanese?
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ cba Can't Be Arsed. Unwilling to expend energy on the task in hand. May be used more generally in reference to the state of mind where nothing at all seems remotely worth doing.
[nm](http://nm.urbanup.com/1030288) Quite Possibly the most useless internet/chat abbreviation known to man. 'nm' can be short for one of two things, 'Never mind' and 'Nothing much'.
Commonly misinterpreted by users, the abbreviation can be harmful, even fatal.

@ton.yeung The exposition dump was a bit sudden but the final fight felt a lot like an extended version of 00's opening shots in its first ep complete with child soldiers dying left and right and mobile workers getting curbstomped by mobile suits

6:36 AM
I can't remember the last time I've heard good news for Funimation, but bad news seems to be coming out once a week or more now.
First they had the SnK theater subtitle fiasco, and now their Prison School dubs are getting flack for including a rather obscure reference that is somewhat controversial and doesn't even make much sense in context.
Personally I don't really understand the reference at all, even after looking into it for a while. I can't fathom how they thought this was a good cultural equivalent for the original line.
 
7:03 AM
Good morning
 
how ish you today?
 
nice
u
 
@LoganM from second hand accounts, I heard that the person who apparently wrote them stated they did it just for the controversy
 
It wouldn't surprise me
 
7:13 AM
the only problem I really have that it was essentially adding something stupid in reference to something that was relevant for 3 days to an adaptation of which source material far pre-dates the irrelevant event
just unprofessional even though it's a dub, but then again nobody really watches dubs...
 
Basically my thoughts as well, and it didn't help that the reference was to something many viewers (including fans of the source material) wouldn't understand
As for no one watching dubs, I don't think that's entirely true. It's probably true that no one would have watched this dub, but apparently there is some sort of dub fanbase out there somewhere.
 
i wouldnt understand it either :s
 
Yosh mates!
 
@HamtaroWarrior g'd8, m8
 
7:23 AM
Wazzup? :3
 
🍅 catsup
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Tomato symbol? :P
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ looking mayoi, mayoi :D
 
7:31 AM
qute
 
isn't mayoi means to get lost
 
That dub sounds lame :(
I usually give a dub a chance, but most often i'll be watching subs
tsuritama dub was good
 
@ToshinouKyouko i don't
unless i don't have any other option
 
my two problems with dubs is 1. American accents and 2. not bothering to stay to the translation
 
7:34 AM
@ToshinouKyouko you just dun like americans (I agree, they such)
 
no offense to americans, it just really breaks my immersion when these people are supposed to be japanese
 
Personally, it breaks my immersion when people are supposed to be Japanese but speak in English
 
i can suspend my disbelief a little, for the ease of watching
 
dragon ball is only the show i watched it in english dub
and i regret it
 
I've watched more dubs than I care to admit. I can't think of a single case where it was a good decision.
 
7:40 AM
i spy a tomato
@ToshinouKyouko damn right
 
@Tyhja 🍅
 
thing is , at least for me , all dub voice actor sounds similar
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ @_@
o.o 🍅
 
and the way they speak
 
@Tyhja hi~~
 
7:41 AM
hi~~
 
Honestly, the voice acting criticism is a bit silly. It's true that English voice acting is less competitive (and thus generally less skilled) than in other languages, but that's hardly the biggest problem with dubs.
 
I feel like its hard to do cutesy voices in english right as well
 
@Tyhja 😏
 
@ToshinouKyouko oh that is one among many other reason , baka
 
7:46 AM
does one just copy paste emoji
 
Honestly, the only reason this bothers me is because subs could go the same way
 
@mirroroftruth its not like ... i asked you or anything ...
 
Up until now, subs have had a lot of competition, which forced translators to do a good job
 
that's a good point
 
If we reach a point where the only way to get anime in English is by streaming versions with exclusive licenses, there'll be nothing forcing companies to do even a decent job translating, and we might end up with stuff like this.
 
7:48 AM
it is unusual to have a seperate script for subs if you think about it
 
i was watching dub episode of infinite stratos , which had both language option and i was looking below to read the sub , :D
@Tyhja :D
 
Subs and dubs have different requirements. Subs have to fit on 1-2 lines of the screen, regardless of how complex, and have to be visible for enough time to be read. Dubs, on the other hand, have to match the character's manner of speaking and the original line more closely.
but if companies do just get lazy, they might default to one translation, and the dub would probably be the one they'd pick
(at least if the show is profitable enough to merit a dub at all, which I'm surprised Prison School is)
 
there's things you can do with subtitle positioning and etc to reduce those restrictions
I wouldn't be surprised if dubbed-subs are a thing already tbh
 
i pause , if i can't read all at once and understand it , :D
 
Yes, that's what you have to do, but it's definitely annoying and not ideal
 
7:54 AM
monogatari :D
 
yes mainly
that time i paused a lot , even to read those text on screen
 
Monogatari is a bit special, since the background text isn't meant to be readable anyway without pausing.
In the little bit of translating I've done, there's a great deal of editing to try to make the lines short enough to fit comfortably
 
In some cases, entire conversations had to be rewritten because of one especially long line
 
i have not watched many dubbed anime so i don't know but how to dub those special moment ,like tongue twister , joke which make sense only in japanese
like one nyan nyan.... from monogatari
 
7:57 AM
to be perfectly honest, there is no good way to translate things like that
 
so just add TL note
 
there are a lot of bad ways though and so you just have to pick one
TL notes are one bad way
Another one is to replace the line completely with something roughly equivalent
 
ya you read does and laugh at yourself , oh that was the joke which i did not understand
 
work o/

Gotta make the report for my internship.. -.-
 
#postlancer
 
at least put space between post and lancer
@Taisho who is she
 
@mirroroftruth He is Enkidu.
 
8:16 AM
after edit, it search previous image, not edited one
he
 
It searches the last image posted by the post module of the bot, which is not necessarily the same as the image posted by the user @Taisho in the message you refer to.
@Hakase is aware of this and believes it's a rare issue that isn't worth fixing, even though it seems to me to happen at least once a week if not more
