Q: Compilation of anime girls turning head slowly

LongApple...And their hair moving in the air slowly during. Where can I find more of this? Preferably not an amv and instead keeping the original audio I saw a bakemonogatari amv that had a short segment of this and thought it was great and gotta see more of it.

Q: Can some one help me find this anime

QuinciIt was about a girl and 3 delinquent boys, but the girl only liked their leader. She was a model student, and she helped other girls look pretty by giving beauty tips. The only part I can remember is when she helped this gyaru (girl with tanned skin and blonde hair) look pretty. I can't find it, ...

Q: Clarification about Hashirama's Senjutsu?

BejI was browsing about Hashirama's sage mode. What i could procure was that he went to Shikkotsu woods to learn the wood style and the sage mode respective to that. . Shikkotsu Forest (湿骨林, Shikkotsurin, English TV: Shikkotsu Woods, Literally meaning: Damp Bone Forest) is one of the big three u...

Q: Will there be another Avatar series?

The Pickle TicklerWill DiMartino and Konietzko make another Avatar series now that Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: The Legend of Korra have both ended? Will Korra be the last installment in the Avatar franchise?

I don't suppose there's been any news on getting any closer to a site design?

Q: Is there an incidence of a Hiden (Meaning Secret) Jutsu being used by someone OUTSIDE the clan?

ArcaneHiden Jutsu: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiden I answered this question : Is it true that hiden jutsu can be taught? I've researched quite a bit and tried to build an understanding on these Jutsu. The OP asked for example instances where the jutsu is used by someone outside the clan sine they...

 
@Matt idk if you've been here when the design guys showed up briefly, but they said they have some ideas and are working on it
not much else
no estimates, no nothing
 
@Hakase Nah, don't recall it :/ Shame there's nothing concrete but it's good to know there's something in the works ^_^
I'm going to lose all my privileges though, need to get earning
 
at this point I'm more worried about the negative possibility, and I'd rather things stay as they are
I don't think that's how it works with privs
I'm sure there are designed sites with low requirements
and we'd get mad again on meta, like the last time
there haven't been many rep earning opportunities since then
we're not SO where rep bursts like an erupting volcano
 
yeah
The fallout on meta was quite amusing

Q: Best first anime for anime newbie?

The Pickle TicklerI have a friend who I feel would love anime if he would give it a chance. He lets some of the common misconceptions and stereotypes of anime keep him from watching some fantastic works of entertainment. I want to introduce anime to him, but I will probably only be able to convince him to watch ...

 
@HellButterfly Didn't you have something we could close this as a duplicate of, @Hakase?
 
me? idk
 
you posted something here yesterday, no?
about recommendations
 
ah
it's not strictly a dupe
 
But that's not striclty on topic for Meta either :P
 
10:05 AM
I also have a friend who's been traumatized by princess mononoke on loop for 7 hours while riding to some school camp
he then proceeded to watch death note and parasyte
poor soul
I'd say there's nothing you can do if the person doesn't want to watch anime and their every attempt fails and they blame anime even more for their own mistakes
If you really want your friend to get into anime, you'll have to gauge their interest in different genres first. "Most popular" anime doesn't mean "liked by everybody". I know a few people who only watch one or two works of all the anime (like Mushishi) and there's no convincing them to watch anything else. Good luck and don't despair or blame your friend if it doesn't work out as you wanted. — Hakase 38 secs ago
you could do a whole study on how to successfully get people into anime but I'm not in that business so let somebody else work on that
 
10:40 AM
yeah you just have to treat it like any other medium
if someone likes kungfu moveis, recommend them a kungfu anime
 
@ToshinouKyouko i'm still going to recommend a tomato anime
 
talks about sweets
 
10:59 AM
@ToshinouKyouko must suck not to be in japan now huh?
 
@Memor-X it always sucks
 
@ToshinouKyouko well not when there's an earthquake, tsunami that damages a nuclear reactor or Godzilla visit
@Tosh: what is that thing!
Japanaese Local: that is Godzilla. he comes by around this time every year to fight. this year we hear he's here to fight Titanmato
 
11:22 AM
Is there a way to resize pictures in markdown? I'm writing an answer with some in and it's looking pretty big
 
@Matt If it's uploaded to imgur, you can add an "m" at the end of the image path
it should reduce the size
before the extension
 
@JNat Sounds good, I'll give it a try
That's worked nicely, thank you ^_^
 
cool
 
@JNat that i didn't know
if i needed to resize i would upload to imgur then using the url add that to an <img> tag with a height attribute

A: How can I streamline images and screenshots I embed into my post?

coleopteristIf you don't have the wherewithal to optimise an image prior to upload, here are a few tips on doing so directly on AnimeSE: After embedding an image to your post, you should see an imgur URL similar to http://i.stack.imgur.com/FOSov.png (just using this as an example). This should result in a l...

^^ @Memor-X @Matt
 
That's pretty useful
 
"If you'd nevertheless prefer viewers to be able to view your uploaded image in all its raw glory......" yes, because most of the time i will check out new answer of series i don't care about to get more images
 
Time for my first post on engineering, it's scary, they don't sound as fun as we do
 
@Matt because their "bots" are probably real life metal skeletons covered in wires. our bots are cute and can't be spoiled by something silly like reality
 
@Matt I bet we don't sound that funny for users who come by to ask id-reqs :P
 
11:35 AM
@JNat if they stick around long enough to even form an opinion
 
@Hakase What I meant here was: it either gets closed as a dupe of that one, or as off-topic. Since it's not really about the site, which is what questions on Meta are supposed to be about. Furthermore, it'd be pretty ridiculous if we disallowed recommendation questions on the main site, but allowed them on Meta...
 
I think we could use some canonical Q&A on this kind of question
 
What do you mean?
 
or at least some special helpful closing comment which at least points the poster in the direction where to find answer to this problem
 
@Memor-X Taisho > Terminator
@JNat Hahaha, true, we've not been too kind to some
 
11:38 AM
@Hakase I've closed it as a duplicate of the other one, in the meantime
 
I mean we're not in the business of psychologically examining people's possible interests in anime, but we could probably link to somewhere this work has been (or is being) done
so I guess it could be answered by a community wiki and still closed as off-topic
 
@Hakase Why not close those as duplicates of this, if asked on Meta? Or just point them there, if asked on the main site. You can also edit the body of the question there to include some other resources, like MAL and whatnot
 
hmm
okay, then that recs post should be edited to contain lists of sites where people can go ask for recommendations outside SE, and the answers reserved for our own recs
 
The body can read something that expresses this idea: "We're trying to compile a quick list here. However, know that all these resources do a much better job at this, and you should definitely check them out [insert tons of links]"
 
yes, yes
exactly
I'd like to make it apparent that there is some need for this but there are no bounties on meta
I don't know any rec sites myself apart from MAL's recommendations section for specific works but they really only work if you already know what you like
guess I should make a meta post then
can everyone edit anyone's meta post?
 
11:48 AM
yes
 
I remember not being able to do that on certain sites
I mean question
 
I believe so, yes
 
ok

Q: Creating a list of recommendation resources

HakaseWe have this post here on meta where we put our own recommendations for all to see. It's a nice small list but it's not really much for an avid viewer. When we get questions like this, they're usually closed because we don't answer them, but I thought we could at least point people in the right d...

 
edited the recs post and… taht ^
 
11:58 AM
featured it for you, @Hakase
 
oh thanks
ok, i understand the pain the community's being through and i won't do anything disruptive to it. but is there a way to create a chat where you don't need 20 rep to talk in that is dedicated to id requests? — Dragon 1 hour ago

Q: What stats are in KonoSuba world and what do they do?

Ayase EriIn KonoSuba first episode, Aqua is said to have extremely high stats on all stats but below average intelligence and worst luck. Then, she was told that she can be anything but Arc Wizard since it requires intelligence. Arc Wizard, being a Wizard, and as we can see from Megumin, is a class that u...

 
1:01 PM
I don't think there are stats that do anything :/
 
1:22 PM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in stuff like D&D aren't most spells and stuff learnable across classes?
Or not limited to just one
 
@Matt i think when you dual class. i'm not all that knowledgeable in D&D but if Buldurs Gate is any indication (which i read it's system follows one of the D&D rulebooks) when you go to dual class you have to gain EXP in your new class up until where you got up to in your previous class before you can start learning anything in your new class
 
Ah, idk then
 
otherwise the number of points you have to spend is very limited. you might be able to make a warrior class with has some healing but you have to sacrifice some of the strengths of the warrior for a very weak start up into magic
anyway @Matt if you really want to know from a better source you can ask on RPG's chat room since D&D is a table top RPG, their forte.
 
1:42 PM
 
@Matt you should really just ask in the rpg chat room
 
I was just kinda thinking out loud after that latest question is all
Work has introduced a web blocker so now I can't reach Arqade or RPG :/
 
but you can reach chat?
the difference should be just the room number

 TRPG General Chat

Main chat room for tabletop role-playing games. Anyone can ask...
 
Huh, that does work :L
I'll link them the question and see what they say
 
1:55 PM
@Matt not surprising. initially there's no reason to block the chat, particularly since Stack Overflow has a bunch of them which can be useful for work purposes
 
As long as they don't block this chat
 
@Matt well chances are if they did they block all the chat
 
Yeah
I'd just miss you guys
 
idk what's the deal with using work internet for personal purposes
just get your smartphone out and chat away
or a tablet or a notebook
afaik in most workplaces it's strictly prohibited to do personal stuff on work connection
 
Yeah, I've got the chat app on there so if worst came to worse I still have a connection
I don't like posting in other communities, everyone seems terrifying, I'm too invested in our friendly society
 
2:04 PM
ye, they're scary
2 srs
 
My post from earlier on engineering has 4 views and no feedback, I even went to the trouble of taking screenshots
I suppose it's a lot smaller than here
 
looks fine to me, though I've not used CAD in 10 years
making me feel old D:
 
Cheers ^_^
It's still here, don't worry
AutoCAD is still like the exact same from when I first used it
 
2:25 PM
What are the criteria for a question being featured on the main site? I thought it was just bounties but the one there at the moment seems to be just a normal post
Scratch that, it had one recently
 
featured tab is only for bountied questions
featured posts in the sidebar are appointed by mods
featured posts with the mod tag last for 2 weeks afaik
bounties are 7 days
 
gotcha
 
btw if you know any anime recommendation sites, please add them to our list here meta.anime.stackexchange.com/questions/1204/…
 
Anime planet kicks out recommendations based on what you've already watched (or said you've watched), have you got that one?
 
regarding that konosuba question, konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Aqua ctrl+f for intelligen
no, you can add it
 
2:32 PM
shall do
 
please don't remove the "other recs go here" just move it down so others can see it
 
hahaha, got it :L Just edit it into the question?
 
@Matt why are you using AutoCAD?
 
yea
 
(out of curiosity)
 
2:37 PM
 
Done
 
ye I see thanks
 
@JNat It's at work, I did a year in industry and now I'm a summer placement student at an engineering consultancy
 
do you consult personally?
 
2:40 PM
It's quite a big company, the ops guys do most of the negotiations, I just do calculations and modelling and reports and stuff generally
 
that loose strand bothers meeeee
 
I have done some bidding and quoting though, for smaller jobs
hide it :L
#hide that loose strand Taisho
 
nah let it bother everybody else

I know it was Jnat who uploaded it
 
2:42 PM
But yeah, if you've got a bridge or something you need checking to make sure it's not going to break send us an email
 
fortunately all my bridges are imaginatory and don't follow the rules of real worlds
 
 
wow
 
there was some popular question on management.se about technical correctness and what that results in for the software products
 
@Matt Ah, I see
@Matt why? :(
 
2:47 PM
It seemed like a good idea at the time :(
 
no worries it's still visible in the star list
thanks to Mad's jsmanship
 
@Matt but did it still pass the level?
 
@Memor-X Yes, and that is what engineering is truly about
 
@Matt hey it's the perfect bridge for the military. remember they have people who build bridges to transport stuff and then have to tear them down right after. if the bride destroys itself it saves them the job and you have some celebratory fireworks at the end
 
And everybody loves fireworks :L
 
3:31 PM
ahhh chihayafuru, thank your for that first cour :D
#justcompleted
 
@shaggy Did you mean "!!lolis"?
 
lol... no, no I did not
as far as I know the manga is still going strong
at some point I might have to look into that as well. But for now I still have the second cour to look forward to(chihayafuru 2). Which I'm still going to hold off on for now, just to savor the story as much as I possibly can
 
you connoisseur
 
3:57 PM
@Hakase me or ton? lol
thanks for the introducing me to chihayafuru though. Really well done
Just what I needed
 
you're welcome
 
благодаря
 
Chihayafuru made a really solid show, I wasn't particularly interested in the subject matter or the characters but something about it was just good
 
4:33 PM
yeah that was definitely a big part of it

Q: Should we have a MAL tag?

The Pickle TicklerI feel that many users of this site also use My Anime List (MAL) to track and organize their anime. Thus, would it not make sense for us to have a MAL tag for questions?

 
8:54 PM
@HellButterfly I do not understand how M.A.L. relates to anime in any way that would help to meaningfully answer a question. The M. in particular notes that it is far too personal.
 
9:11 PM
with the help of a youtube video I found out that the most optimal company would be Yoshimi Robotics to use on that last tutorial mission, but even so, the AI is just one step ahead of me all the time with acquiring patents and shit
I just can't beat it
"this is an optional challenge" my ass
with every failure I want to beat it more and more
btw I saw Uni swoop by one of our rooms earlier
he hasn't been on here tho for a long time

Q: What do the abbreviations mean in Dragon Ball Z?

The Pickle TicklerI have watch all of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and that which is available of Dragon Ball Super, but still can't figure this out. What do the abbreviations for the different Super Saiyan transformations stand for in DBZ? For example, I've seen "SSGSS." Does this mean "Super Saiyan God Super Saiy...

such a beautiful piece

probably because of https

yea boi!!
I finally won it
dayum that was a hard mission
kept me on edge the entire time
had to keep sabotaging the strongest opponent at every opportunity
first mutiny their offworld launchpads and then blast em as goodbye and thanks
if only black market gave discounts for frequent purchases
it says the AI level is default and that's what happens in multiplayer matches all the time
it's probably completely brutal then
so much micromanagement and part-second timing going on
I wouldn't wanna even start getting into online matches just to get my ass destroyed and handed to me
but now I'm happy coz I defeated the copmuter!
 
@Hakase lol, the comments
 
@Tonepoet Wanna watch Civil War this weekend?

Do you mean Stars and Stripes versus Stars and Bars or do you mean some other one?
