I like watching mushishi when I catch cold

it's very slow-paced and resonates with my feeling of time passage

aside from that it's pretty lame that I caught cold on the last rainy day, it's dry and hot outside now

Q: Name of anime with a substitute hero

Here is the story. The hero is a boy who likes a girl that ends up being a witch. When she is in trouble he tries to rescue her but get beamed to a spaceship by another girl who needs his help. Before he can help her he gets summoned to another plasnet to fight an overlord dragon who is immune to...

shaving dogs sounds like a bad idea

Shinobu Oshino

they just need a suit

Logan M

@ton.yeung A single coated dog's hair needs some form of grooming, but regular trimming should be sufficient. Shaving isn't so bad though in that case.

@Krazer I thought there was something about chopsticks being for weak people or something like that.

Can't find it now. It might have been a one-time line in the VN or one of the drama cds or something.

Q: Why was the American flag censored in Excel Saga?

I have searched all over for an answer to this and there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer to me. One theory says that it's a light offensive joke aimed at Americans, a subtle way of calling us dicks because of how it's usually only offensive material that are censored on TV. Another theor...

Krazer

@LoganM I believe it was a print only thing

trying to find the issue

Logan M

Yeah it was in a magazine

Anyway I suspect what happened is that someone used よわい to indicate that Kurisu isn't great with chopsticks, possibly even the interview you linked itself. Someone else used a machine translation of this and misinterpreted it. Then they posted it somewhere that I saw it.

Q: Manga which protagonist can enter stories

The protagonist enters a story and becomes the replacement for the original protagonist of that story. After each arc, he uses an element of a previous story in order to solve the current story's world's problems. It's still quite new so it should be under 50 chapters.

Madara Uchiha

7:16 AM

@Magikaas You should be able to

Magikaas

Ohh right, hahaha

I forgot my password for my lastpass account when I changed it with the heartbleed stuff xD

That's why I never used lastpass

Madara Uchiha

Go to your profile and click "my logins"

@Magikaas How could you forget your lastpass password? XD It's literally the only password you need to remember.

Magikaas

And I can remember my pass for services I use often that require me to log in periodically

Because I changed it shortly after I started using it and then forgot it, but I had not yet saved any passwords with it

So there :P

Madara Uchiha

@Magikaas That's what "Reset Password" is for, isn't it? :D

Shinobu Oshino

@Magikaas I think there's a button for "forgot password"

Magikaas

7:19 AM

"Email tip" xD gg

My tip is : "Youshouldknowit" >_>

Madara Uchiha

lol

Magikaas

Because I can't think of anything else, since the password I made was a string of characters that I use often (I thought)...

Hahaha

But then I changed the pass

But not the tip

So yeah...

Madara Uchiha

@Magikaas Reset your password

Magikaas

Ah

Yes I did try that

But I tried that at work and then forgot about it when I got home

I don't have lastpass data on my browser at work and that is required to reset the password

I'm hopeless xD

Shinobu Oshino

then you have a serious memory problem :p

Magikaas

7:26 AM

Yes, I do, well not serious, per se, but I do tend to forget things that are not that important

Since I hadn't used lastpass yet for any passwords, I didn't think it would be worth it to remember to reset the password

Now I can't remember if lastpass required you to use capital letters, special characters or didn't allow more than one of the same character in a row in the password

Because if it did, I would not have used any combination of passwords I use right now

Because I have 4 passwords of which I combine 3 when I make a new password

Shinobu Oshino

this is why I only have one password for everything

well, two actually

Magikaas

Hehe

Shinobu Oshino

but I only use one for almost everything, since it's really confusing to have more than two to remember

Magikaas

Hehe, I usually don't have problems with this, because once I have used it twice or three times I'll remember it

@ToshinouKyouko The cons I go to are usually 18-30 ish mostly and some older or younger, though that was on friday... I was not able to go on saturday, when most of the kids would probably go...

Q: What's the average age of an American convention attendee?

Where I live, the convention scene is predominantly teenagers around 16/17. As I get older, I feel more out of place. I'm only 22, so I'm not old at all, but everyone else is so much more energetic and there aren't many people my age left. There are still attendees older than myself, but the numb...

Toshinou Kyouko

that sounds good, everyone is so young and weeaboo here

Magikaas

8:15 AM

@ToshinouKyouko Yeah, a mature crowd is so much better and less noisy, no annoying kids walking around

Damn, I feel old saying that >_>

Toshinou Kyouko

also american cons are like 100x the size of the ones we have here, so thatd be neat

Magikaas

I would not want to go to a con THAT big, it would be much too crowded and just big to enjoy (for me, personally)

Toshinou Kyouko

as well as there not being very many twenties in our cons, the ones that are there are already in their own clique-y group, so they don't make it very easy to mix in :(

Peter Raeves

8:31 AM

I don't know how it is there, but if you want to make friends, wouldn't asking for a picture with one of the cosplayers help break the ice? Especially if you dress up yourself and it's from the same manga or something?

Not an expert on mixing in with crowds though

Toshinou Kyouko

maybe~ I'm a bit crap at cosplaying though, but I guess that gives me a reason to try harder :)

Peter Raeves

Or bring a big camera and a great personality. people love it when their work is appreciate. It takes quite the effort to create a great costume

To be honest, I had never expected American convos to be filled with teens. Especially from the movies you see on the web

Magikaas

8:59 AM

@PeterRaeves From what I hear anime (mainstream anime like AOT, pokemon, SAO, Death Note) got pretty big there among the middle school and high school kids, so the logical result of that is a lot of younger people going to cons because the 'cool' anime is on, some dressed up as their favorite character, meaning there's an even bigger surge of the same cosplay

Toshinou Kyouko

9:14 AM

lot of L cosplays

tshirt and jeans with a black wig

Magikaas

@ToshinouKyouko Haha, there werre still a few around last con I went to, but not nearly as many as there were AOT cosplays xD I've almost finished my own cosplay :P It's not nearly as flashy or recognisable, but I like it :P

Toshinou Kyouko

I cosplayed as kamina from gurren laggann once, but ireland is not a warm place when you're topless :P

considering crossplaying as Riven from LoL

Magikaas

@ToshinouKyouko Haha, cool :)

Kirishima Kaito from Ano Natsu de Matteru here, his outfit is pretty warm though, so might not be ideal for summer xD

Or I'd also need to get his... 'Casual' outfit, instead of just his school uniform outfit

Toshinou Kyouko

i always get excited about an idea and then only do about 1/4 of the work towards it and give up :P

Magikaas

@ToshinouKyouko That was me too the first few months, then I just told myself to go through with it, instead of just dropping it halfway through like I do most of the time

Peter Raeves

10:29 AM

There were a few things I was wondering whether they would be considered ontopic here. So instead of making a meta question for this, I'll ask it here ^^.

I read somewhere that Manhwa would be considered on-topic, so that got me thinking. If Korean cartoons are on topic, then what about other countries' cartoons and comics, since there is no cartoon SE as far as I know?

And what about the specific country's culture? Japanese culture questions are allowed, since they might be related to a certain manga and as far as I know, these questions don't even need to be directly related to any manga or anime at all to be on-topic.

So since manhwa are allowed, would therefore Korean culture questions be allowed too and if other countries' cartoons are allowed then would their culture be on-topic too? Should these cultural questions be related to any kind of comic or cartoon at least?

Magikaas

@PeterRaeves I think manwha are allowed because they are also asian cartoon/comics, I don't know if American/European/African cartoons/comics are also allowed

Though I'm probably not the right person to be answering this as I am also still quite new to this SE, it's just my take on this :P

Peter Raeves

Then what about Korean culture questions? They feel off-topic, but according to Japanese culture questions, they somehow seem on-topic though

Magikaas

Feels on-topic to me, but that might just be my not-really-caring-as-long-as-there-is-discussion attitude :P

@ShinobuOshino @MadaraUchiha I has made an account! :D

Toshinou Kyouko

I think cultural questions are off topic unless they're associated with anime/manga in some way

like anime.stackexchange.com/questions/9958/…

Peter Raeves

Ok thanks. What about what cartoons are allowed? Japanese and Korean are allowed, any other? Maybe Chinese? But I guess Western cartoons aren't allowed?

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko I don't really have much to say in these events, but all the ones I went to, didn't even have professional cosplayers to attract costumers. Which surprised me, since as you say, it's rather easy to organize. I wonder if the maid-cafe concept would be culturally unacceptable here (Belgium)

Toshinou Kyouko

Since we are on the tag subject. I'd like to add, why are Dragonball and Dragonball Z synonyms? Since they clearly cover a totally different part of the manga. If this came from the idea where people just refer to DBZ and DB all just the same, then why isn't DB not a synonym of DBGT too?

Quoth one of the comments, "This is one of those stories that defines a generation."

@Yuuki check out Katte ni Kaizou

Yuuki

TIL If pooping is uncomfortable, go see a doctor. Because once it becomes (very) painful and you have hemorrhoids, you'll need surgery to be cured. And that surgery is expensive. And will require at least a week to recover.

This is definitely one of the weirder manga that I've read.

Ginyoku no Fam ("Fam, the Silver Wing") is the sequel to Last Exile. Is the former (fam-the-silver-wing) sufficiently different from the latter (last-exile) as to warrant a separate tag? My sense is no, based on plot synopses, but I haven't watched either of these shows.
