Twintails' ED is nice

The anime may not be that good, though

Logan M

best show of the season imo, but I guess other people might disagree on that.

nhahtdh

It's just moe + hero show plot

Logan M

Yes, but it has lots of twintails

nhahtdh

The original material (LN) ends at 7 volume

The plot is too shallow to my liking, though if you are in it for the moe, then it is watchable

Logan M

I mostly like it because we finally have an MC who appreciates twintails as much as everyone should.

Q: Need help finding the title of this anime (may be a movie)

All right, I've been searching for this anime for a few years, but have yet to succeed. I only saw one scene of it ages ago, but I'll try to be as specific as possible describing it. I remember it was something involving a woman whose outfit didn't cover up much. She had red tattoos on parts of ...

Winter 2014-2015

Honestly, not that interested in any of them.

Maybe I'll watch Durarara and iDOLM@STER.

@ton.yeung I know of most of them through manga.

And I know that I won't be terribly interested manga-wise.

@ton.yeung I don't think any of them are actually complete.

A good half are also light novels.

Light novels are the thing right now.

Everyone's adapting them.

But yeah, winter looks like it'll be pretty sparse on comedy.

So, I probably won't be watching much.

I honestly can't see one that I feel like I'd be interested in comedy-wise.

Maaaaaybe Saenai Heroine, but that's an extreme long shot judging by the manga.

And if I can't laugh, I usually lose interest fast.

Also, someone should star/pin that list. Don't we usually do that for season listings?

Shame about the season listing though.

I was really hoping for something I liked.

Like maybe Horimiya or something.

Then I could use this gif:

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!!

@ton.yeung There's like 50+ chapters. That's more than a lot of anime.

In not-anime news, I'm having a lot of fun with Fantasy Life.

nhahtdh

I'm going to watch 14 shows from that list from a first glance

user1306322

oh then good night to you!

Yuuki

@nhahtdh That's... a lot of shows.

I rarely follow more than 3 per season.

And that usually drops off to one by the halfway mark.

You guys just like anime a lot more than me. S'probably why you have accounts on this site.

@ton.yeung Ah. I spend more of my entertainment time gaming than watching anime.

It usually goes:

> 1. Gaming
> 2. Chatting in SE rooms
> 3. Anime

#1 and #2 usually occur at the same time.

Karasu

06:46

@Yuuki I don't know how to deal with this message.

Yuuki

@Karasu And I'd be a little weirded out if you did.

nhahtdh

To 13 shows, miscount earlier: Abs Duo, Aldnoah, Assasination (must watch), Dog Days, Idolmas, Isuca, Kantai, Koufuku, Saenai, World Break, Shinmai, Monogatari, Ghoul

I know most of them first hand (manga/light novel or previous anime season), except for 2

Yuuki

@ton.yeung I usually play games that are impossible to marathon in a day.

nhahtdh

@ton.yeung Assassination Classroom is worth watching

Yuuki

@ton.yeung Fantasy Life for one.

Most good RPGs can't be one-day marathoned.

And other games I pick are easily split into digestible chunks.

Like Monster Hunter. Most hunts are ~20 minute affairs.

Give or take 10 minutes.

@ton.yeung It involves consciously choosing a new monster and starting up a hunt. It's not like FF where you just run around until an encounter pops.

Karasu

06:51

Yuuki

It's essentially like doing a 5-man dungeon in WoW. You pick which one you want to do, gather up a team (unless you feel like soloing it) and start.

Once you finish, you have to do the same start-up process again.

@ton.yeung Well, then I don't see how you can consider anime more chunkable. You can just start up the next episode.

And watch for weeks on end.

nhahtdh

Saenai is a bit weak from the manga adaptation, Isuca is another onmyo series, but I think it is weaker than Tokyo Raven, Shinmai is quite readable, IMO

Yuuki

@nhahtdh I've read Shinmai. Fanservice is a bit heavy and it's not enough comedy for me.

I may watch an episode or two, but I don't expect to follow it.

I don't really expect to follow anything this winter season.

nhahtdh

Fanservice is a staple nowadays

Yuuki

Might just rewatch Inou-Battle until spring rolls around.

nhahtdh

06:55

Lol

I typically stay away from boob/ass anime

Yuuki

@nhahtdh Fanservice has always been a staple. Doesn't really bother me, it's just that I usually require something to back it up (namely, comedy).

nhahtdh

I think it has some plot

Yuuki

Or rather, I prefer fanservice to back something up rather than be the main focus.

nhahtdh

I watched it

It's one of the shows which I find watchable

Yuuki

@nhahtdh Plot as in storyline or plot as in euphemism for boobs?

nhahtdh

06:56

despite the boobs flapping around

storyline

I just mention that I hate boob anime

Yuuki

I'm a big comedy guy, so I rarely follow stuff that isn't comedic.

nhahtdh

dxd got the plot to back it up

I also love comedy, and high pace comedy hooks me up

Yuuki

And if Shinmai lacks anything, it's definitely comedy.

nhahtdh

Like monogatari series

Yuuki

That and subtlety.

And a sense of shame.

I tend to parcel out my genres among different mediums.

nhahtdh

06:59

Both of them got some strong plot and psychology going on to back it up

Yuuki

My movies are generally serious and/or action-y affairs (just watched Fury and I'm gonna catch John Wick and Interstellar next week) while my anime tend to be comedies.

nhahtdh

A manga that is comedy genre, but the anime fails to bring it in is Trinity Seven

I gotta have lunch now...

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@ton.yeung yes pls

Yuuki

@ton.yeung You might want to wait on the NN3DS.

@ton.yeung Definitely.

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@Yuuki working in a movie theater sounds so cool right about now

Yuuki

07:02

By most guesses, it should drop around February.

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Eh, it depends.

Yes, free tickets to those movies is awesome.

But having to serve food/drinks during those movies and possibly/definitely spoiling yourself sucks.

I'm definitely going to get my free tickets worth out of Big Hero 6 though.

I have a tendency to rewatch Disney movies a lot, so I feel like I'm gonna save a lot of money this time.

For reference, I believe I saw Frozen in theatres about 8 or 9 times.

A: Having "identification-request" and "retag" show up as tag suggestions by default

The way I see it, the description of the tag list input control should be something that tells the user to type the anime/manga title which the question is about or a special tag. Special tags are identification-request, anime-history, manga-production, terminology, tropes or any other tag that ...

any thoughts on this?

nhahtdh

Custom stuffs are not too extensible

user1306322

another way would be to add a "Help me tag this question!" link that would show a hint saying "Enter the name of anime/manga your question is about. If your question is about the name, use id-request. If it's not about a single anime/manga, use one of the special tags (see them)."

Yuuki

@user1306322 I want to say that this isn't something terribly feasible.

nhahtdh

SE has been reusing the old features to support new feature

user1306322

se's gotta start implementing features properly

nhahtdh

15:46

That's on the software part

user1306322

it's not good

nhahtdh

On the UX side, making user go through another checkbox is a bit annoying

user1306322

yes, but so is not knowing how to tag and not having any "help me" button

it's not really a big problem, since users can fix it in a matter of minutes

but it should be entirely possible to find out that info easily enough without the help of experienced users

nhahtdh

new user is never good at tagging

Even if you show a bunch of help, no one is going to read

user1306322

an easy way is adding a (?) button which you can hover above to see a tooltip about tagging

nhahtdh

15:48

(And I was a new user - just that I never really ask questions on SO, so I understand about tagging before I ask my question on other sites)

Except for meta, where the 4 types of questions are fixed, I think it is not a good idea to fix the list of meta tags on our site

user1306322

when you click the tag input box the following hint shows up on the right:

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions.
► favor existing popular tags; avoid creating new tags
► use common abbreviations
► don't include synonyms
► combine multiple words into single-words with dashes
► maximum of 5 tags, 25 chars per tag
► tag characters: [a-z 0-9 + # - .]
► delimit tags by space, semicolon, or comma

nhahtdh

No one read it, and it is extremely annoying

For one I didn't really read it

user1306322

where the hell is info about what to enter as a tag actually?

nhahtdh

Common-sense

user1306322

this is technical stuff for programmers and whatnot

simple users need entirely different kind of information

nhahtdh

15:51

Like if you are asking about java or jsp, you would tag java and jsp - whether it is correct tagging or not is another matter

user1306322

ok so we can actually not use any new button or checkbox for this

all we need is to remove this stupid technicality text and add something useful instead

nhahtdh

There is already tag suggestion based on the content of the post

user1306322

that's not it

nhahtdh

But I don't ask too many question, so I don't know when it will fire

user1306322

users have a problem finding proper tags for a reason, and that is because tag suggestion function doesn't help in certain cases

it suggests random stuff or unrelated tags

or doesn't suggest anything at all

the main problem is that huge hint that doesn't help

nhahtdh

15:55

Actually, when you type something, it will suggest some existing tags with the excerpt. If that is not enough, then I don't know what is

user1306322

the huge helping block on the right has to solve this problem, not the suggestion list

I'm writing a new post about this
