I heard of some popular manga ( example - Naruto,Nurahiyon No Mago, Beelzebub) are published in oneshot during their first try. I want to know about that is apply for all manga or not? how many manga are published as oneshot first or where can i get list?
In a few anime and manga the protagonist or entire group are stuck in certain time event can't make time move forward. I mean whatever the protagonist does, the day is always September 2 all the time. In order to change that, he needs to do something. For example (Kurugaya route in Little Buster ...
AKB0048 (anime) and AKB49 (manga) are based on popular Japanese idol group AKB48.
What were the first manga and anime based on real idols instead of fictional characters?
All lists are alphabetized, for lack of a better method. If you have a better suggestion just go for it. For the moment, due to the size of this answer, I've not included any specific features of each. If you want to add this, please do so for everything from a category, not just a single entry.

Specifically, moving characters/people/industry/music below each instead of giving them separate sections
This post is turning out to be a nontrivial amount of work, partly because I've never used most of these sites. However I think it's going to save work in the long run and hopefully other people can take care of the edits when necessary from now on.
We had a redesign while I was in undergrad which really messed everything up. But apparently it was really necessary because the software they were running was 20+ years old and totally unsupported the only guy who still knew how to use it was retiring.
IIRC the one we had had been out of support for 20+ years, and they kept around one IT guy whose job was literally to maintain the software. He wrote so many modifications to it that it was almost unrecognizable from the original. In any case, the only server that had that could run it was old enough that they had to shut it down for all but a few hours per day so that it wouldn't overheat.
I may be exaggerating because I only heard this via hearsay, but that's what my friend who worked in IT told me.
He may have literally meant 20 years. I can easily see that. Likely PeopleSoft was updated after 1988 (since it uses JavaScript that wasn't available in browsers at the time) but it's certainly a legacy system.
I think at least a couple of the stars might be not intended. I had a very long message that I typed during a debate, but by the time I entered it everyone else had already agreed on the same thing. I think that got some stars, but it was unnecessarily long so I edited it to something about lolis.
I have installed AVG as virus scanner and it keeps insisting that my PC has booted xx% faster then when AVG was first installed.. I can assure you IT DOES NOT!
anime.stackexchange.com/questions/4872/… i probably missed the conversation on this question. Is it too much if I edited out the list request and voted for reopening, or should I leave it to the original poster?
it's a pretty good question apart from the list like
When the Eight-tales got a part of his tail cut off, Sasuke brought back the Eight-tales body, but only about (estimate) 94% of it (due to the tail part still remaining with Killer B in it). Does that mean that they were able to extract 94% of the Eight-tales chakra?
This also applies to Ginkaku...
According to Wikipedia, there are 12 main episodes and 7 specials. In the beginning of the second main episode, there is a note saying: "this story has a proper ending". I guess this is supposed to mean the story continues (or is concluded) in a special episode. So what is the proper order of the...
Is viewing-order really becoming a thing? Nothing here or on meta from what I can tell, but it's been suggested a bunch.
@ton.yeung But does it warrant its own tag? I'd argue no, since it becomes a meta tag like plot-explanation.
A tag, in general, should be able to be defined by having a quality such that an expert in that tag could answer a given question. I would argue there cannot be an expert in viewing orders.
hmm maybe maybe not.... but if we do get question like, X series has Y spin-offs (or part of Z-metaverse) that are related, how would I read it in order to grasp the entire story
@ton.yeung lets take Railgun for an example, chronologically it starts before Index
what about questions like should I watch X series before starting Y (which is a sequel or spin off of Y, but not very closely related like Gunbuster to Diebuster)
@Krazer I disagree with that tag by its very name. Saying "suggested" automatically means to me "primarily opinion-based".
I think viewing order questions are on topic since they are generally made to be watched in a specific order. In the cases where they're not, we can say "release order is fine, there is no predetermined order."
There are definitely benefits to a view order. Just a random example, the Nanoha series. There are anime and manga with the same name and the A's manga is split into two pieces, before and after the anime. Watching by release date alone will make for a very confusing story with all the remakes and related material.
@Eric I think this might merit it, specially with series that go out of order/ have various alternative arcs intentionally (while not many, they exist) a bit like symbolism and tropes... like if I wanted to watch the pokemon movies side by side, when and where should I start X movie
@Krazer But that's a specific question, it doesn't require a viewing-order tag to ask it. If it does, that means it won't be tagged with the series tag, which will lose potential for real experts on the series to input.
@ton.yeung That's how Google Analytics does it, AFAIK.
@Eric What if say I wanted to watch the progression of ("Kill 'em all") Tomino's depression and it's effects on series characters and compare that to his post depression series?
@MadaraUchiha I agree that it can be improved, and it needed to be improved. That's why we closed it. I could have done it myself but that OP has posted quite a few questions that have been closed, so I wanted him to do it so that he would better understand what is okay here. Also there were several possible interpretations to take of the question. Anyway it's fine now so it's good that it got reopened.
@RoelvanUden Muv Luv (be sure to play all the way through to Alternative), G-senjou no Maou, Sharin no Kuni, Kamidori, Baldr Sky, Sengoku Rance, Majikoi, F/SN, and Tsukihime all come to mind if you want something sort of action-y.
For romance the list is quite a bit longer and I'd have a hard time listing all of them.
If you give me a general idea of what sort of stories you like I can probably make a list.
@ton.yeung Muv Luv Alternative is one of the best VN I've ever played. It was made in 2006 but the production values they put into it make it look good even by today's standards. The writing and characters are all top-tier and it really makes the time spent on the previous Muv Luv games worth it.
The anime, by comparison, was pretty mediocre in my book.
@LoganM I played all routes in Katawa Shoujo and Grisaia no Kajitsu. I finished one route in Little Busters before I got bored with that. I never finished Kanon, Clannad or Rewrite. I want to have an amazing store, romance or otherwise, as long as it's not too disturbing.
Sorry I didn't remember which had translations so I just listed all of them.
@ton.yeung White Album and White Album 2 are in the same series, but they don't share any characters or plot points. The original was okay, but it's from 1998 so it feels old nowadays. They have made rereleases which update the graphics if you really want to play it. In any case it seems that neither 1 nor 2 is translated so maybe you should ignore that anyway.
@ton.yeung WA 2 is quite a bit better in terms of story and characters as well. I recommend WA 2 to everyone, but WA 1 only to those who are actually interested in it.
Just pirate Japanese Windows and go from there.
@Eric I don't agree that the two are equivalent. "suggested" means subjective, but not necessarily primarily opinion-based. There are questions here that could be used with such a tag, e.g. "What order should I watch the Lupin III movies?" Sure, there's no strictly right answer to the question, but it requires a lot of knowledge of the series to even start to answer it so IMO it could fit as a good subjective question.
@LoganM I would contend that "based on" implies "primarily". In this case, yes, you could have a good subjective answer, but the fact that it's a suggestion, I would say that's begging for someone to give information without requiring anything to back it up.
Questions that ask for informed opinions of experts that require a lot of knowledge are often good questions. The problem is not when opinions are important, but when everyone is entitled to their own opinion without evidence.
> primarily opinion based - Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.
Anyway @Eric I'm not opposed to getting rid of the tag because I don't see it being very useful. But if you're going to do that it should probably get a meta question so that the guy doesn't just add it back.
Recently there was the addition of viewing-order, a meta tag intended to tag questions which request the chronological or intended viewing order or a particular series. The following questions were suggested to be tagged:
What is the chronological order of the Monogatari Series?
What is the pro...
