An uncle wore this shirt to an ugly Christmas sweater contest. He said he got it from his grandma 10 or 15 years ago, has never worn it before, and has no idea who the character is.

It is stated in chapter 1 that the demons hide themselves in a human heart, and are kicked out once the hole in the heart is filled. However, in chapter 3, it is stated that they only hole themselves up in the hearts of women, because they will be born as the woman's child. But in the major...

In episode 1, Kaoruko uses her rinzu to awaken Oubu. It works - she activates Oubu's heart. When she does so, she also awakens all the other Buranki on the island (except, curiously, for the one beneath their house). This is pretty much what sets the plot in motion. Why did awakening Oubu hav...

I've heard the name Zizu mentioned in a lot of One Piece fanfics, I was wondering if he's an actual character or not.

In episode 1, after Kaoruko awakens all the other Buranki on Treasure Island, Migiwa brings her family beneath their house, where a Buranki lies, still asleep. Migiwa is able to use her powers on the Buranki to somehow make it project an image of the island. This isn't really in line with any...

In episode 1, Azuma has to have it explained to him what a Bubuki is. Now, it's not surprise that back when he lived on Treasure Island, he wouldn't have known what Bubuki are - there don't seem to actually be any Bubuki up there. But the events of the second half of episode 1 take place ten ye...

In episode 2, an old man who is present when Oubu first ascends to the surface with Azuma as its heart mentions that he saw Oubu when it razed Ueno ten years prior. Later, in episode 24, Azuma runs into a "stinking drunk" in the park: Are these the same people?

In episode 2, when Oubu ascends to the surface, an old man describes it as "a part" of the thing that razed Ueno. In what sense is Oubu "a part"? Oubu at this time does look slightly different than it did during the incident in Ueno (probably just because Oubu changes shape a bit depending on...

Towards the end of episode 12, when Azuma asks Migiwa why she stopped the hearts of all the Buranki on Earth, Migiwa replies that "something much worse would have happened" if she hadn't. This is accompanied by a cut to the scene where Azuma rises into Oubu's head and begins to undergo assimilati...

At the very beginning of episode 13, when Epimew responds to Guy's summons to deal with a Buranki, we watch Epimew fly by London, the "former capital". What on earth happened to London? Given that Big Ben is there, London must've at least been thriving until 1859 or so (assuming that things h...

While the Japanese characters in the show typically refer to the giants as "Buranki", some non-Japanese characters (particularly Guy) sometimes refer to them as "déraciné". This is a curious name for them - the French word "déraciné" means "one who has been displaced". In a sense, this is an ap...

In Saiki Kusuo, the episodes with Kuboyasu (the delinquent) often had places where "!?" hovered above the character's head, making fun of the supposed overuse of that device in delinquent manga. Here it is again in Samon-kun: What is the origin, and usage of "!?"?

I was following this chronological list 1. Kizumonogatari -Movie- Nekomonogatari: Kuro Bakemonogatari Nisemonogatari Monogatari Series Second Season --Nekomonogatari: Shiro --Kabukimonogatari --Otorimonogatari --Onimonogatari --Koimonogatari Hanamonogatari should be between Kabuki and O...

Maxim has the heart of Zampaza; Lyudmila has the right arm; and Diana has the left arm. Given that they are full siblings (as far as I know), and that Bubuki are passed lineally from parent to child, how is it that they received three Bubuki from their two parents? Did one of their parents have m...

What are the anime/manga superpower genres? For example Cyborg 009 would be a Scifi robot genre, Birdy the Mighty would be Space Opera genre, Devilman is Possessed by Power/Demonic genre. What are each of the genres and what were the first manga in each genre?

I'm looking for an anime where the female main character has all the anime clichees happen to her on a daily basis (to start a regular anime story with her as the main character, I presume) and she's trying to avoid them to comedic effect, not wanting to become a heroine with two guys competing f...

What exactly was Yui trying to do in the ending of Oregairu Season 2? I interpreted it in three ways: 1) She's going to fight for 8man and declares war on Yukino. 2) She's trying to maintain the status quo of the group and just have them be friends forever. 3) She's giving up on Hachiman and lett...

Magical Idol is a genre of Magical girl that doesn't get alot of respect or attention. But I've always had a soft spot for them. That being said I also love series with good action. So my question is "Is there a Magical Idol that can kick ass with her music?" I don't mean a Idol that can transfor...

In Chapter 795, we jump from Dressrosa to the aftermath of Sanji's side boarding Big Mom's ship. What chapters did this happen? It's not specifically listed in the Manga Story Arcs in the arcs up to and including the Dressrosa Saga.

Magicians show that they are serious by shouting their magical names. Poster child of this behaviour is shown in Endymion no Kiseki, when Is there any rule in making the magical names, or are they intended to look like forum/internet nicknames?

Noticed it first in this Jump cover in the bottom right corner: Katakana is used for spelling out foreign words. Nisekoi is Japanese for "fake love". So, why is katakana used? Just to make the name seem more "cool"?

My granddaughter wants one for her room and I have no idea where to find one
