do we have a question about a list of legal site to watch or read manga?

I found this and it looks legal manga-anime-here.com

How can I tell if a site which is linked to/mentioned in a question and/or answer is a legal site?

Q: What factors in adapting a manga into an anime?

I was just wondering, what exactly are the factors that contribute into successful anime adaptation of a manga? There are various famous mangas out there, which would be really amazing as a anime. My question is pertained to this: Are anime adaptations solely based on the popularity of the mang...

Logan M

That's the one set up as part of the new anti-piracy campaign, right? Should probably be added to the list.

Shinobu Oshino

yea. look like it is

I'm gonna add it there

Logan M

Without having an icon, and with a title like that, it looks totally fake though until you actually visit the site.

Hopefully they work on that

Shinobu Oshino

04:41

I don't really understand why it asked in meta

it could be on main site

I tried to search on main site and didn't find anything

I forgot there is meta question about it

Logan M

Actually, this is more of a meta-site than a source for watching. But it does link to a variety of licensed sources for the shows, so still useful (perhaps even more useful than the other sites)

I think it's on meta because the general policy is to remove links to pirated content sources, so we need a place which catalogs those sources which aren't a problem.

If it was on the main site, I think the answer would be to check that site or Anime Planet, both of which seem to be trying to document these. There are other sources but they're rather obscure by comparison.

Up until today, I thought Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun was basically as good as it could possibly hope to be, given the premise.

However, this video changed my perspective by showing how great it really could have been with just some minor changes:

Q: 1990s anime with a character that hates carrots

I remember when I stayed in Japan for a while around 1997 I watched an anime where the main character (she) hated carrots. But I have no idea what it was. (I can't recall if it was English dub or English sub.) It seemed like a shoujo-ish situation comedy. It's been bugging me for quite some time...

Okay

usukidoll

hi hi

Asada Shino

Cool, hehe

Hello usukidoll :)

usukidoll

I need help D:

Logan M

06:22

what do you need help with?

usukidoll

anyone out there know what "I will" means in Japanese? X(!

mirroroftruth

suru

means i will

Asada Shino

Isn't that to do?

Logan M

Not really. suru means to do.

Asada Shino

-masu on a verb, I believe

mirroroftruth

06:23

it used as i will also

Asada Shino

Is future tense

Logan M

Yes, generally you just conjugate the verb, e.g. tabemasu can mean "I will eat"

usukidoll

so ... what is that? Is it so suru yo or something? My sensei said that there was going to be 5 hiragana... so I saw sosuruyo --> in romanji so u su ru yo . is that right?

Asada Shino

Aha like that

mirroroftruth

i think it mean i will do

usukidoll

06:26

so that means I will? I found it through a rough translation

https://www.google.com/search?q=I+will+in+japanese&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=nts#channel=nts&q=i+will+in+japanese&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&safe=off

Logan M

That's one way. It could also be sou shimasu.

mirroroftruth

@AsadaShino does it

usukidoll

ugh I hate her disorganization though

she just mentioned something like study I will in Japanese ... hint: there are five hiragana..

Asada Shino

What is the context?

usukidoll

so the first thing that came up was to search all over the place but to no avail...so I just googled

mirroroftruth

06:27

oh ya context main important part

usukidoll

and there is so u suru yo

Asada Shino

@mirroroftruth I'm also still learning xD I don't know nearly everything about Japanese, haha sorry

mirroroftruth

@usukidoll sou suru yo i guess

usukidoll

but is it correct though? ^

Asada Shino

sou suru yo sounds okay, if you can only use 5 hiragana. But I am also still learning, so don't yell at me if it's wrong after I agreed ._.

usukidoll

06:28

^ I have oral communication japanese

also shitsurei shimasu is bye after leaving a teacher's classroom or office right?

Logan M

It's most likely either sou suru yo or sou shimasu if it has to be 5 syllables.

Asada Shino

Yes, it's basically "Excuse me"

To say if you have another important thing to attend to

mirroroftruth

yes it is excuse me

usukidoll

well I already know how to write the whole hiragana chart in advance X)!

mirroroftruth

@usukidoll then you know a lot than me

Asada Shino

06:29

Nice :) That's good to know :P

usukidoll

it's just that well I don't mind memorizing the vocab and reading the dialogue but... the interaction scares the daylights out of me x.x

Asada Shino

Interaction and oral practice helps so much though

usukidoll

^ I know.. I had the whole dialogue and then all of a sudden during class I just freaked out x.x! ugh

Asada Shino

We had pretty much zero communication between students during lessons I took at school, it was just cramming and then some tests

I'd have preferred practical assignments and such. But none of the other students could be bothered...

usukidoll

probably because it's been a decade since I last had an oral conversation in japanese XD! My high school japanese was both written and oral

mirroroftruth

06:31

@AsadaShino you took class

usukidoll

but I chose oral to get away from kanji

Asada Shino

@mirroroftruth 1 hour a week for 10 weeks, you can barely call it class

mirroroftruth

but for me it is still counted

Asada Shino

As a course to take to fill up my curriculum

mirroroftruth

curriculum huh

Asada Shino

06:33

@mirroroftruth Counted as what? Extra reason to ask me about japanese? xD

usukidoll

@AsadaShino I have Japanese Oral communication class every M W F. I study the material everyday and alternate my math studies...like all Tuesday and Thursday it's Japanese and Number Theory and all M W F it's Japanese and PArtial Differential Equations

and weekend free for all

Asada Shino

@mirroroftruth We had to fill up a certain amount of 'points' with courses of our own choosing in school.

mirroroftruth

haha i never thought that would be one reason

usukidoll

so I'm pumped for the 3 day weekend

Karasu

mirroroftruth

06:35

@AsadaShino is there different between the language used in manga and anime and real life conversation

Asada Shino

@usukidoll I see, cool :P urayamashii yo

@mirroroftruth ~_~ I'll take that as a yes xD

mirroroftruth

sou ka

Asada Shino

I have never read manga in hiragana/kanji

And it was not an answer to your question

mirroroftruth

then

Asada Shino

Because I'm not at that point yet, unless if it's a manga with furigana

And I have never had a real life conversation in Japanese

mirroroftruth

06:37

@Karasu Mio

Asada Shino

And setting and the relation between two parties in a conversation determines a lot about how a conversation goes, as in any language

You wouldn't say "yo, dude, sup?" to your employer during a meeting (normally)

Logan M

There's a difference in that anime/manga language isn't as polite as you'd expect people to speak in real life, and they use somewhat different vocabulary. You can still learn Japanese by listening to it, but you need to know how to say things in the more polite way.

mirroroftruth

haha

Asada Shino

@LoganM Exactly this

They sound 'rude' in anime.

Barely using particles in sentences

Though that may just be normal in real life conversation as well, leaving out stuff like desu and watashi wa and the like

Logan M

Mostly it's good for learning vocab and some grammar, but only once you already know enough to understand the structure of what they're saying.

Asada Shino

06:39

But as I said, I can't say that for sure as I have never had a conversation xD

mirroroftruth

leaving pronoun is common in japanese

Logan M

Anyway time for me to go home and sleep. 'nite all

Asada Shino

Gnight :3

mirroroftruth

goodnite

i can't spell properly in romanji

oya sumi

Asada Shino

@mirroroftruth But you're okay with kana? :P

mirroroftruth

06:42

i can speak myself some word and understand some

kana ?

Asada Shino

hiragana, katakana

mirroroftruth

no

Asada Shino

instead of romaji

mirroroftruth

they are out of control

usukidoll

kanji is nasty

Asada Shino

06:44

@mirroroftruth Your romaji are out of control? xD

@usukidoll Indeed, that'll probably take up the largest part of my time learning the language xD Luckily computers do sort of help with writing them, but reading them or writing by hand is tricky :P

私 is pretty simple to remember.
OR
何 is too

mirroroftruth

no hiragana and katakana

Asada Shino

But those are some of the only ones I know by heart (at least one meaning of them)

mirroroftruth

romanji i am trying to control

Asada Shino

@mirroroftruth Sorry, yeah your hiragana and katakana, my bad

mirroroftruth

人 this one i know

one piece i guess

Asada Shino

06:46

@mirroroftruth What do you mean?

mirroroftruth

meaning i know what it stands for

Asada Shino

You mean it stands for "One Piece" ?

mirroroftruth

though i don't know it is hira or kata

usukidoll

Raw providers are getting cracked down

Expect your typical release somewhere around fri to next mon

In case anyone is wondering

Toshinou Kyouko

Shinobu Oshino

people always find a way to pirate things anyway

with one way or another

Toshinou Kyouko

!!urban riajuu

HoiHoi-san

@ShinobuOshino riajuu Riajuu is internet slang for somebody who has a good life. It's typically used by otaku and such on message boards like 2chan to refer to people who have girl/boyfriends and are popular with their peers.

Toshinou Kyouko

09:21

they sound terrible

otaku

O_o

Shinobu Oshino

so, riajuu is basically otaku's arch enemy

mirroroftruth

09:24

may be

urban dictionary says -In the Western culture, people confuse otaku to be something positive like "Guru".

Shinobu Oshino

otaku is positive

Asada Shino

Otaku is like 'nerd' in a way

mirroroftruth

Otaku is extremely negative in meaning as it is used to refer to someone who stays at home all the time and doesn't have a life (no social life, no love life, etc)

Asada Shino

Someone who is very focused on and interested in a certain field

mirroroftruth

urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=otaku

Asada Shino

09:27

And spends their time finding out more about said subject or field

mirroroftruth

otaku no jinsei ha yabai na! (it sucks to live the life of an otaku!)

Toshinou Kyouko

otaku is bad

Asada Shino

Seen by other people as anti-social

Shinobu Oshino

@asa then basically otaku is a scientist

Asada Shino

Same with 'nerd', pretty much

Toshinou Kyouko

09:28

yeah

Asada Shino

@ShinobuOshino How did you come to that conclusion?

mirroroftruth

so rich otaku is riajuu

Asada Shino

Nerd is not limited to tech or science fields

Someone who is very focused on and interested in a certain field

Toshinou Kyouko

well, just cuz ur rich doesnt mean you'll get the ladies

Shinobu Oshino

09:29

sound like scientist :p

Asada Shino

@ShinobuOshino So a reader is not focused on a certain field

Toshinou Kyouko

@ShinobuOshino but also has negative connotations

Asada Shino

Or a photographer

mirroroftruth

scientist huh

Asada Shino

Or an artist

mirroroftruth

09:29

Otaku is the honorific word of Taku

taku means home

so to be otaku he should stay in home

Asada Shino

Lol, yeah totally

And Oshino is honorific of Shino

So she's me

Shinobu Oshino

nah, we study otaku and live with it, we do research, we find another culture, find another way to express ourself

mirroroftruth

otaku(5) eg. Larry has a wealth of knowlege about anime, he is a real otaku.

there's a difference between having a large appreciation and being an otaku imo

Q: What should a university-level course about manga and anime culture cover as part of its curriculum?

This question is not asking about a course that teaches how to create manga or anime, but a curriculum of a course similar to English literature. Such course would teach the history and culture of anime and manga by studying representative works of different periods and genres and their cultural ...
