@MadaraUchiha True. I happen to be watching almost everything, but we need more than just one person watching things for it to work.
Presumably, that's where this meta post comes in.

Ouch, our traffic seems to have taken another hit today.
 
1:33 AM
@Eric Still a small amount IMO (the total drop since our peak is <2%). It's not surprising to me, considering the past week is basically a holiday in the US, and some substantial portion of our traffic comes from the US. I'll be worried if the drop continues for more than a week or drops below around ~1250.
 
@LoganM Yup, I'm not concerned yet. But decreasing numbers always equal sadness, even if just a bit.
 
lol I just noticed my Photokano thing is still pinned. Should unpin itself naturally in a few days, but that's rather old.
 
2:17 AM
MC of C3-bu is so moe I don't know if I can take it. It's too good.
 
Show is basically K-On + guns
Surprisingly, it works fairly well (at least so far)

Q: Why is Karila's uniform different from the other girls'?

Logan MMost of the girls in Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu have pink uniforms, but Hatsuse Karila (right) has a blue uniform. Is there any reason why her uniform is a different color from everyone else's?

Q: How did Guilford survive the FLEIJA

SteveIn the Second Battle for Tokyo Suzaku fires a FLEIJA which destroys a vast amount of the settlement. Guilford pushes the Shinkiro out of the blast radius and is absorbed. How could he have survived? My only though is last minute ejection but I would like a solid answer or other theories that see...

 
That it is, but I wasn't too much of a fan of K-On's characters. Azunyan aside. :P
 
Azunyan was the best character. By the end I was pretty much only watching for her
I haven't seen enough of C3-bu to know which characters I like, but I think all of them are cute so far.
 
Between that, Love Lab and Railgun S, I have enough moe to get me through the summer.
 
@Niveous Those are all good choices. I'm watching a bunch of other shows (15 so far), but nothing sticks out as must-watch except maybe HS DxD NEW, and that only if you enjoyed the first season.
 
2:47 AM
@LoganM Yeah I'm watching five or six more, although they aren't as moe. Going to probably give Tamayura a try, but I have to watch the first season first. As for HS DxD I'm reading the LNs (only on Vol. 3 though), so I don't think I'll watch it yet.
 
I enjoyed Tamayura S1. S2 is mostly the same, which is good. If you liked Aria it's a similar atmosphere.
 
@LoganM I haven't watched Aria, even though people keep telling me too. I should get on that after I finish GJ-bu.
 
@Niveous Aria is my favorite anime of all time. Towards the beginning it was quite difficult to get through, but by the end it's fantastic.
I don't recommend trying to watch it quickly though. I only watched a couple of episodes a week. It's a slow-paced show, and if you watch it to fast it'll sort of wreck the atmosphere.
Tamayura is similar in that respect as well. Don't try to watch it all in one sitting.
 
@LoganM Good to know. I'll probably watch it in between weeklies and Fire Emblem.

Q: How should we tag Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu

Logan MThe anime Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu has just recently started airing. I asked a question about it here. The full name is too long for a tag name (stella-jogakuin-koutou-ka-c3-bu would be 33 characters). The English name for the show is "Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C³"...

Q: Who writes the plot for filler episodes in an anime?

SongoFillers are a given in most long running animes. The question is if he anime is based on a manga then who writes the plot for the fillers? Who decides that the plot story for a filler season for example won't conflict with the original story of the manga?

Q: Orihime power question possible plot hole

Corey ToolisCouldnt orihime have used her powers to reject the evolotion of the espada and put them back into thier forms before they were arrancars?

i like that filler question :)
 
2:51 PM
@MrPineapple indeed it is. i'm thinking about writing an answer for it. thing is i dont know much about the other long running series and how their fillers are done. although i know that for OP the writer(Oda) has a hand in alot of them. should i do my research on some other series first to answer it or should i just answer it with the information i currently have access/knowledge of

hmm

Anyone looking for an easy bug report?
If you go to stackexchange.com/sites?view=list#traffic and scroll to the bottom, MO has only 3 V/D, which is clearly wrong. It's been that way as long as it's been on that site, which is nearly 2 weeks. I don't know what the correct number is, but it's probably at least a couple thousand.
 
I have enough meta rep.
Just post it yourself.
 
@Mysticial I don't use MSO
 
You don't have an account?
 
I have an account, which I want to stay with no questions or answers.
 
8:02 PM
That was expected.
 
@LoganM Huh
 
@MadaraUchiha ML getting closed was expected (see image above). They didn't generate enough content.
 
Yeah, I guess.
60 questions in two weeks is rather weak for a private beta.
I mean, we came out of private beta with, what, 200 questions?
 
They had around 40 after 1 day, but after that almost everyone left.
We had around 100 in the first day, which is more than most sites have after the whole first week.
I suspect anime is an easier topic to ask about than ML though.
 
Probably
 
8:17 PM
Probably fewer opinions per question though =P
 
8:46 PM
Anime questions don't end since there's always new shows coming out.
 
There's always new things for machines to learn!
 
If we run out of things for machines to learn, just make them learn anime, since there will always be more anime.

I bet you could find out some interesting things from applying ML to anime
Other than the standard Netflix-y recommendation stuff
 
In the future computers willl be able to make their own anime just with machine learning
I don't know if the results would be any good though. Probably only for shows with little to no plot.
 
9:03 PM
ML will be able to compute a real definition of Moe
 
9:14 PM
Aww, how come your joke gets starred and not mine =P
/me makes a note to work on his sense of humor
 
9:56 PM
One way to get lots of stars is to type "I like loli" or some variation and wait for the stars to show up.

@Mysticial i like loli :)
Apr 30 at 23:31, by Logan M
I love lolis
 
But... I don't like loli at all!

@Danalog That's why you aren't getting stars.
 
@LoganM It's a conspiracy!
 
A conspiracy to star all the lolis. Should we call in Milky Holmes to investigate?
 
10:13 PM
Needs more loli AIs

Q: What anime is this from?

JNatI found this picture on a fansub website, and it did not have any reference to the name of the anime to which it belongs. Does anyone know where it is from?

 
@LoganM is on the ball!
 
Goddammit, I wanted to answer that when I saw it.
But too late...
lol
 
@Danalog Easiest ID request in a while.
@JNat surely you can come up with a more descriptive title than that.

Nice idea
 
@LoganM Done

Q: Proposal for a weekly anime watch chat event

KrazerI'd like to propose a weekly anime watching discussion event akin to anime and movie watching clubs. The goal is to promote more discussion and question for lesser known series that deserve recognition, but are not in the mainstream yet. The pace can be one or two series with an episode or two ...
