Q: Searching for this anime with first ep. of girl on top of s roof in a empty world with no humans around only a killer in the same roof pursuing her

Nova.6I saw this one episode of this anime which I can't remember the name of on YouTube, I hope someone can help me.

@ton.yeung ?
O hi yo/
@Eric this one is good, yandere and no Gasai yuno , list is incomplete :D
@mirroroftruth <_<
and i did not knew there was kamidere also
04:54
@mirroroftruth kamidere and himedere are just tsundere from god and princess
@OshinoShinobu ya i got that after looking that picture
i kept them in tsundere category :D

BTW about the dorama with Under the Dog kickstarter:
> 1) there is a high possibility of rewards costing more than the initial estimates (since there were expensive rewards such as figurines, etc. being included), and 2) there was practically no budget set aside for the operational costs—probably based on an assumption to rely on works by volunteers. Those were the major concerns for me and that’s why I needed to check the financial aspect of the project first.
> Under the Dog was originally planned for a 26-episode long series. So it’s simply impossible to cram everything into just one episode. The current work is being produced as an entry point or Episode 0
As we see, creators are just as greedy as producers, except producers are more practical.
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ can't find that in anime subreddit
ah it got removed
which one do you believe in?
06:14
Good morning :D
Hmm... Why is this one deleted? anime.stackexchange.com/questions/18443/…
@nhahtdh yaoi and sekusu , may be the reason
Most yaoi questions on our site are closed/deleted by Madara
I'm not sure, but are we excluding part of the fandom?
06:26
but yaoi anime or manga , they are barely answered
@nhahtdh i don't know
Barely answered is not a reason for deletion
There are a bunch of questions of obscure series that are not answered - by your logic, all of them should be deleted
i am not talking for the reason of deletion, i mean they worst among id-req

Q: Are ID Requests on Doujins ontopic

Memor-XI am wondering, assuming the minimum stanard of quality was met, would a question asking to ID a Doujin be on topic? here is an example one: I am looking for a Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Doujin i spotted while randomly searching for images on google The pages i saw i think were at the e...

no answer
Yes, yaoi series don't make good id-req, since they are so generic
06:29
@mirroroftruth no, the worst would be "HELP ME FIND THIS ANIME OR I'LL BE DEAD"
which do not get answer though they have nice and well formatted question
(But in this case, the question is not that bad, IMO)
@OshinoShinobu then tell them , shine , i will help you
@nhahtdh no , question is nice
@SeptianPrimadewa man, you beat me too it. i had to go into a couple of banks
fuck my head almost exploded when i had a heart attack from playing Ar Tonolico. Hama saying "Daddy, i love you" is so absofuckenlutly adorable
watch out you will summon another mod again XD
06:51
@Frosteeze does it require the internet to play?
Amazon Prime has signed up the original hosts from Top Gear
so not sure if they are going to their own Top Gear on the streaming service
@ton.yeung My Answer would be to draw focus on my adaptability from my last job where i was given work to do in ASP despite not even knowing the language and i was still able to effectively learn ASP and accomplish my tasks, i'm not just a [INSERT ROLE], i'm a re-assignable resource
07:06
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ the quotes for example questions, are they taken from real questions? if not may i suggest also including some real questions/answers we have here, at least one very stellar one and one which can be seen as the minimum benchmark
also might be good to add in how to answer id requests. alot of the new users i see who answer them just post a title when really they should explain how it matches
along with a small summary of the title and maybe an image of the cast/cover/promo poster
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Things like this are why I don't really like the crowdfunding trend.
Investors are generally pretty knowledgeable and diligent. They know what to look for before they give out money, and don't do it randomly.
That's been replaced by marketing unfinished products to ignorant people who don't really know what they're doing but feel like giving money. It's easy to mislead mobs either through deception or incompetence, and there's probably a bit of both here.
There's nothing forcing the creators to make a really good work, and little encouraging them to do so if they've already pocketed a good profit before it's even finished.
IMO if someone wants to make something legitimately good, they should have no problem funding it through traditional means. So I don't really trust these efforts most of the time.

@LoganM care to share us the original? :3
@OshinoShinobu don't you have
told you, it's edited
@mirroroftruth Gaston is the only decent Disney character I can remember. I don't think he'd be a pleb like this.
@OshinoShinobu No, too lazy.
If you asked on the main site maybe, but it would probably get closed first for being "low-quality".
09:53
only Disney character that you remember , how about Aladdin
Aladdin is a super-generic boring character
Robin Williams as the Genie
Gotta love RW

Q: Why didn't the Task Force capture Misa Amane?

DarkYagamiSo. After the final meeting and after Light's death, everyone in this room knew the truth. They knew that the 13 day rule was fake, and the rule about destroying the death note being fake was now known too. They also had evidence against Misa (the tapes, fingerprints, hair, etc.), and Light als...

at least you remember more than one
though it is boring
I remember lots of characters, but they're all bad.
At the end of the day, I don't think a ~90 minute movie is enough to establish a good character unless it tries really hard, in which case you can get maybe 1 character.
09:56
i remember most of the Disney princess , not because i watched their movie, because of internet
I have to sort all these image, they's all over the place
Beauty and the Beast is the only one I can remember which succeeded at that, and sadly, it made that character the bad guy and put super-boring characters in front.
He's only the bad guy because of the perspective
I still like Mulan as a character (I've only seen the first one though).
@LoganM who
09:57
Look at it from his eyes, he's doing what he thinks is right
Gaston ofc
Imagine if he was the protag. The movie would actually be borderline-watchable even without cute girls.
@Morwenn Mulan is the next closest to a decent character. If she had a better setting and more time she might be okay.
Disney's new "Gaston Vs. The Beast"
No please just Gaston
We don't need The Beast, he's boring
@LoganM Well, she still has some generic traits. But yeah, I believe that it's a workable character.
Slice of Life with Gaston
I'd probably actually watch that
10:00
Then there's the Castaway spinoff, Gastaway
actually i have not watched beauty and the beast
And then there's Gurgi.
@Taisho Whoa, I'm at work here!
Bambi's mother was a decent character too. Not annoying for too long.
10:01
and those fairy tail of disney
@Matt just undo it
@mirroroftruth I just shrink the window a bit, it's k

@SeptianPrimadewa Exception occurred while getting last editable post. Perhaps it's too late to edit the last message.
@SeptianPrimadewa sad trombone sound
sad but happy face
of course
10:11
XD
It's a great game, lucky person that gets that
One of my favourites
never heard of it, does it have cute girls?
@LoganM Only Stanley
Or not
There's no action or anything, but it's a great experience
And the 'Nightmare Loop' ending is actually pretty spooky when you think about it from a distance
I don't want action, but I do want good characters. Looking at the wiki it doesn't look like something I'd even consider playing.
10:16
Mmm, I really liked it
the sarcastic minecraft playing was hilarious
@LoganM There's a narrator that is absolutely hilarious
Is she a cute girl?
you never see them, so you cant confirm that it isn't
deep sounding voice, though
Doesn't sound promising
If a game doesn't even have cute characters, I'm not sure why I'd want to play it when there are plenty of other works that do.
10:24
It's about how games have hidden walls and whatnot
and what happens if you question those rules
It's more of an experience than a 'game' as such
It's pretty good
I don't really like games
At least not mainstream ones
I wouldn't say it was mainstream, but if you're not a fan of games, it's probably not your cup of tea
yeah I could tell that before the trailer even started
10:28
anything that wins any kind of award is probably not worth looking at, considering how backwards game critics' views are these days.
is it fine to answer one year old question?
Yes
I started looking for an answer before I realized that it was asked on 2014
10:30
Idk, depends on the award. The Stanley Parable is pretty good
Necromancer :D
@OshinoShinobu Yeah, it's good to answer any question. And you get the snazzy Necrobadge if you get enough +1's
maybe not, it got an answer just a moment ago, that's how I found it
do or don't
that depends on you
@OshinoShinobu If your answer adds some more useful information, go for it
If it's a carbon copy of the other, maybe not so much
10:33
You could still answer it an link to the previous question
(with the answer)
I find that to be fine
@Matt My viewpoint on what games ought to be and what criteria make a game good (or even playable) are basically completely incompatible with how gaming critics and most of the gaming community sees it. I doubt I could even stay awake through this kind of game.
@Morwenn I know this as "Guust Flater" in Dutch/Belgian xD
@AsadaShino That's funny how they change names when translating things.
working on it :)
@OshinoShinobu all the best
10:38
@Morwenn It's easier to sell if the name sounds like a name for the country/language it's sold/translated in, I guess. Some translated names are just cringeworthy though
@LoganM mm, it's not very engaging if you don't have an interest
Rank 69 now guys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
11:02
:o
@Matt so fast , all the best
@Matt Let me see if I can articulate my opinions on this better, since it's something I've thought about a great deal recently.
My opinion is that the point of all modern fiction (regardless of medium) is to create interesting characters. Other aspects of the work are generally meaningless.
For instance, "story" basically just consists of taking a handful of overused plot points, stringing them together in some arbitrary order, and calling it a wrap.
Every possible combination has already been tried, and there's no room for innovation or optimization any more. All the good ideas have already happened, and doing anything "new" or "novel" is a sure way to ruin an otherwise fine work. When people say "X has a good story" what they really mean (if they thought about it more) is that X has good characters who aren't ruined by an intrusive story.
The reason why characters are different is because there's an added degree of complexity because characters can interact with other characters. This opens up a much larger parameter space which has not been explored or optimized nearly as completely. There's still room for interesting new innovation.
Gameplay is very much in the same boat as story here. In the end, it's really just work pushing buttons. It's work I'll do if I need to because the characters are worth it, but at best it's a wash. You push the same buttons in every game; there's nothing really new or innovative. It is possible in rare cases for a character's personality to be expressed better through gameplay, since it is interactive, but this isn't the norm at all.
Ideally, gameplay should let you create interactions between characters. That possibility is why I feel like games ought to be a great medium, but few take advantage of it. This is rather silly considering I can already have a similar experience IRL, with much better controls. Somehow game developers expect that the simple act of pushing buttons itself will somehow be amusing, but that's what I do at work already, and it isn't particularly fun.
Where gameplay isn't the top priority, other unimportant things like graphics even come before characters. It's still considered acceptable to have NPCs with one single line of dialogue and no other possible interactions, in which case you might as well replace them with signs.
Wall of text :O
More or less, my criticism is that games seem to have not realized any of this.
Incidentally, while a good character is not necessarily always cute, that's the only reliable well-studied method which I'm aware of for creating good characters. Cute girls are very stable. You can change many things and they'll stay good characters. They're basically never not good characters.
Other types of character are much more specific in the details, and few works get these right reliably. When they do it's fine, but there's enough remaining parameter space with just cute girls left to explore that studying these sporadic good characters just isn't worth it. Indeed, this case is so uncommon and strange that you wouldn't miss much if you ignore it completely.
That's the one thing I think anime and manga do really well compared to other media. If games were like that I'd be very happy with them, but I just can't stand the vast majority of games these days.
Well, you've certainly thought this through a fair amount - I do agree with you to a certain level that characters are what make the best games
But for me, the most fun I have playing games is when I can play with a bunch of friends, and have a laugh doing it
@mirroroftruth Thanks, thanks
11:12
Wow, what a wall of text
I think I've had way longer ones before
Like "The Ship" - Characters are nonexistant and there's no story, but I enjoyed myself so much while playing with friends it'll always be a special game to me
this one I just typed on the fly so it can't be that long
Anyway I think I'm going to head home, night all.
@LoganM Night!

Q: Why does Eighth have such an oversized head?

MattAll the characters in Mirai Nikki follow more or less the same style, with one exception - Eighth, who has a strangely oversized head. Spot the culprit Why is this? Is there a specific reason Eighth has this appearance?

13:53
@Matt i was also wonder what was up with that character
I figured it was a reference i didnt get
Same, but I didn't look too much into it :P Thought it was a reference to some kids show xD Just didn't know which
Like, for younger kids
Also was a possiblity it was a person in a costume
but that never happened :P
@ToshinouKyouko That should've been the ending
actually another yuno
It was actually a Tomato in disguise

Q: Hunter X Hunter

AnandarajDoes anyone know when H X H will be resumed from hiatus? It's almost an year from Aug 2014. I believe fans like me are also waiting for the release of 350. I tried googling but I saw a link that was posted during Sep 2014 that the manga is on an indefinite hiatus.

@Memor-X Well yeah lol
well actually it works more like Brave Frontier
if you get DCed you can still play but you have to connect before and after every battle and stuff
also this game is pretty good
