Anime & Mangaanime.stackexchange.com

Beta Q&A site for anime & manga fans.

Currently in public beta.

 
We dropped from 88% to 87% answered
 
Those percentages are rounded, so the actual drop is really pretty insignificant
We've been at 87-88% for a very long time now, and probably will stay at about that for a lot longer.
In fact, ever since they corrected the algorithm in mid June, we've never been above 88.61%, and never below 87.20%.
We do seem to be on a bit of a downturn though over the past 2 months.
 
1:34 AM
any possible reason of a downturn? I do realize it happen I can't quite figure out how or why
 
I don't know why. I'm not even convinced it's statistically significant.
 
i blame id-requests
 
I'm quite sure that isn't the reason.
The statistics pretty convincingly show that id requests are no worse than average in terms of chance of getting answered.
Right now they're at about 87.0%, whereas the site average is 87.5%. If we got rid of all of the ID requests on the site our rate would improve by just 0.0012.
 
So we just need more experts on the different anime out there
heh that's difficult
 
The reason ID requests look bad is because they're most readily compared to other big tags. But big tags are popular series which have unusually high answer rates. If you compared them to some of the smallest tags it would be easy to see that where our answer rate really drops is from tags with just a couple of questions.
To put it in different terms, yes, has 98.7% answered, but that's by no means typical for the site, and trying to judge other tags in comparison to that is a fallacy.
 
2:22 AM
speaking of id-reqs, there's a good candidate for this music id question:
1
A: What is this anime song?

Edsel Jedd RenovallesThis melody seems to be "Aizome" by Mamiko Noto, the ending theme of Jigoku Shoujo. The melody seems to be playing the chorus of the song.

Q: what anime is this? help pls

Planets Sooooo Kawaiiiiiii Does anyone know what anime this is please help

 
@ton.yeung aren't we missing a sin?
 
No announcement. AFAIK it's still going
I'd assume if it does continue, Elizabeth won't be the main character any more. But if it was ending outright they would have announced it beforehand.
 
@ton.yeung So they can milk it for another 2 years
 
it's not ending
@ton.yeung why?
@ton.yeung for this ac at least
 
3:13 AM
Very very few manga end when they should. Most drag on for 100 chapters more than they should before they get canned. Then the mangaka goes and does something else which is terrible, flops, and they come back to their one hit and milk it for a while longer.
 
to every end there is a beginning
cough Saint Seiya cough
@ton.yeung that can be arranged
 
I can think of maybe a half-dozen cases where I didn't feel like the ending was rushed, not dragged out, and it was still worth reading at the end.
That's why I don't bother reading most manga any more, because even the good ones turn into garbage before they finish. Better to just watch the anime and get the small fraction of the story which was worth paying attention to.
 
Go read the Grisaia VN. It's way better than the anime and will last you at least 50 hours.
 
@ton.yeung maybe you're over estimating youself
how about we get a bit more... serious? docs.google.com/document/d/…
@ton.yeung I can do that but ou have to use Vim to navigate it
@ton.yeung he meant (Original English Light Novel)
 
3:20 AM
If you want something that you don't need to do any work, just watch this.
 
@ton.yeung to get to the content
 
@ton.yeung ?
@ton.yeung fine... then...
@ton.yeung ?
gun-ota is some serious stuff
do you think you can handle it?
@ton.yeung that's one volume, d00d
you're overestimating free fan labor
@ton.yeung because it's a web novel
@ton.yeung because ppl like to binge by volume
you can say that
more so story arcs though
@ton.yeung no, I just like those kind of stories
@ton.yeung here's a change of pace youtube.com/watch?v=lZe2H8nvUAM
@ton.yeung how about book series rec then?
@ton.yeung d00d borrow it form your local library or something
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990) is a World Fantasy Award nominated novel written in collaboration between the English authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The book is a comedy about the birth of the son of Satan, the coming of the End Times and the attempts of the angel Aziraphale and the demon (Anthony J) Crowley to avert them, having become accustomed to their comfortable situations in the human world. A subplot features the growing up of the Antichrist, Adam, and his gang, and the gathering of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—War, Famine, Pollution...

Q: Help Me Rember This Movie!

Stephanie ClayWhen I was a child, I was all about this anime movie and for years now have not been able to find it nor pin point the title. The description is going to be a bit ambiguous so just stay with me here and keep a very open mind. This is coming from the memory of a 5 year old. Timeframe from when mo...

Q: Closing the Vi/Vim Proposal

Robert CartainoProposal: Vi/Vim We recently launched an Emacs site, and the Vi/Vim community quickly followed to have a site of their own. The show of support here was nothing short of amazing.

6:29 AM
Good middle-of-the-night.
 
@ton.yeung for?
 
So, I just made more progress on my Markov chain sentence generation script in the last five minutes than I have on my mobile PDF writing library in the last two days.
 
nyanpantsu~
 
@Yuuki what incited this progress
 
6:39 AM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I started it.
Ever since seeing the King James Programming Tumblr, I've been wanting to make one myself.
I already have the dictionary construction down, which was frankly really easy.
 
nice
 
Now I need a long enough text file for testing the sentence construction part.
Since three paragraphs of the Lord of the Rings Wikipedia article is probably not enough seed material.
Sentence construction is probably the more difficult part.
 
6:56 AM
... I think I might cry if I get this thing finished by the end of the week.

Q: what anime is this from

omegasamusHey I was wondering what anime this gif was from

 
The best one of those that I've seen is snarxiv.org/vs-arxiv. I've gotten ideas for legitimate projects from it. But you might need to know high energy physics to understand it.
 
Well, my current intention is train it on various movie scripts.
Maybe anime scripts if I can find a reliable database of those.
 
Movie scripts might be a bit boring. I don't watch enough movies but I assume they talk relatively normally so it wouldn't be much different from that.
Anime scripts would in all likelihood be in Japanese. I guess you could extract the text from subs or something though.
You could probably train it based on the text from Chat SE (or a few rooms therein). Not sure if that's any better than movie/anime scripts but it might be easier to get.
 
7:30 AM
Okay, results of my "successful" test, trained on a book I found on Project Gutenberg:
> It was sickening, distressing and shocking to look upon! But, above It was a hot
dusty march and worrying day. Since the fourteenth we've done nothing but my ja

Cool :o
 
I had to set a sentence word limit.
It was running for too long.
It's probably running on for so long because it's trained on a single source.
 
Hehe :P
 
Now to test it with two sources.
 
8:23 AM

8:53 AM
ah, I have a markov chain thing somewhere
It was a project for college - I used the text of welcome to the NHK on it
 
Well, the basic functionality now works.
All that's left is fine-tuning it, I guess.
 
but then when I demonstrated it it generated a phrase with 'dirty lolicon' in it, so i quickly reran it

That looks shopped

Q: Should we have separate tags for each major Final Fantasy game?

Toshinou KyoukoSeeing as we seem to be accepting Final Fantasy tagged plot-based questions, and the fact that each game is in its own self contained universe - should we change the existing final-fantasy tag into several? Example: final-fantasy-vi,final-fantasy-vii,final-fantasy-viii,final-fantasy-xfinal-fanta...

Q: Why are the majority of characters named after car manufacturers?

FrosteezeMost of the character's last name comes from a car manufacturer. Acura is a luxury car manufacturer under Honda. Gaz is a Russian car manufacturer. There are others like this such as Trabant, Lancia, Arbath, Dodge, Calloway, etc. Has the author given his reason for this naming convention?
