Q: Kare to Hitokui no Nichijou english

I am looking for the novel "Kare to Hitokui no Nichijou" in english, I can't seem to find it in anything aside from viatnamese, if anyone could explain the plot, tell me the names of the characters, and give me a brief description of each main character, I would be over joyed.

Q: Help identifying mecha anime.

I think it was one of the late night sci fi animes that aired in the UK. It was set in a world where fighter planes were built but they were overshadowed by futuristic mecha which were found buried and dug up; i believe they fell through a temporal rift or multiple timelines became intertwined or...

Q: I'm looking for a gundam-esque anime

In this anime, there are a bunch of people aboard a ship that I believe is constantly moving at lightspeed during the show. I don't think it stops at all. I'm not sure if they're all women, but a fair bit seem to be, including the 3 or 4 main protagonists. I believe the main protagonist is a tall...

@Quill i was right, Bravery Second came in today. shit it's big, bigger than even my Final Fantasy Type-0 Collectors Edition or Tales of Xillia Collectors edition.....and that one came with a full figure along with the books and soundtrack

@Hakase I saw that in Japan. It's so weird

They're so fast

@Memor-X yeah, the box is massive

if anybody asks and ID like "anime like Gundam but not Gundam", send them to recommendations to Gundam and tell them to list everything that does not match their memory

aside from being a deduction method, it makes/helps the OP find it on their own

Memor-X

@Quill and given this is for a 3DS game with a Mini Figure. makes me think the art book is like the Studio Ghibli ones which came with the Anniversary Editions of Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Magic Castle and The Wind Rises, like full on production bibles which can kill a person

discussion bounty

I don't mean to encourage everybody to give away any spare rep to random users because I don't think that would really matter

just an interesting situation on another site

Memor-X

@LoganM when JList Emails come out with japanese culture facts like how the Magical Girl Genre was started because of Bewitched in the US or reason for the low birthrates in japan, would it be a waste of my time to research to see if any of this is true?

Ikaros

@Hakase I think it is interesting but it shouldn't be random :)

Hakase

I just don't see any worthy answers enough to want to bounty them myself, so that's my personal experience

Quill

10:43

@Memor-X that sounds like an interesting (maybe even movies & tv) question

Memor-X

@Quill what, the Magical Girl thing?

Hakase

I'm more interested in the reason for low birth rates

Memor-X

@Hakase one moment

Hakase

too many good anime and not enough real good girls/guys?

Memor-X

What are the reasons Japan's population is falling?

I could literally list 50 reasons that contribute to the population drop, but it mostly has to do with high education, a lack of meaningful inflows through immigration, and certain social phenomena unique to Japan. All countries experience falling birthrates when they industrialize and embrace education -- the Philippines went from 7.5 babies to 3 born per female over the past 40 years for example. So it's largely a normal thing, just most pronounced here.

@Hakase ^ that was what was in the email i got today

Hakase

10:45

reading

can't just lump russia's average birth rate to any stats, it's too big to be meaningful without localized values

Memor-X

what i find strange is why embracing education lowers birthrates. is it because the stupider people are the more fertile they are for baby making?

Hakase

ok this sounds like a bullshitty fake newsy article aimed to surprise and excite rather than educate and give real data

come on 11 children what is this a time when 70% of babies died before becoming one year old?

stupider people generally just have unprotected sex more often because they don't know better

that shouldn't lead to 11 children tho

Memor-X

@Hakase yeh but you learn about sex in school or are these people getting naked for no reason and going "oh i have a thing between my legs while you have a hole, lets see what happens then my things goes into it"

....wait, i think i just described 50% of hentai

Hakase

you'd be surprised

Quill

@Hakase because girls have an overrealistic expectation of romance and guys end up having no chance. This kinda thing applies to western society, but it's doubly relevant in a society where romance is more formal

Hakase

10:52

@Quill having overrealistic expectations is what's called stupid and uneducated in my world

everybody needs to get real and google up sex and relationships on wikipedia at least

Q: TV Show / Anime Id (Racing Show) with horse liked creatures

About 15 years ago I used to watch this TV show and I really want to ID it. This show is about humans racing on these robot like horses ( they are not horses, but I dont know how else to describe, they had 4 legs and you ride them ). These "horses" were alive and very powerful. They wpuld be use...

A: What does "Elohim, Essaim... Elohim, Essaim I implore you" mean?

It's a chant common in anime and manga (For example, it occurs in Gugure! Kokkuri-san ep12 this season), if recited 3 times can give good luck or summon demons. Its origin comes from The Grand Grimoire, it's "The secret of the Black hen, a secret without which one can not count on the success of ...

Hakase

never heard of it

Roel van Uden

I can't say I have ever heard it either

Maroon

I'm somewhat suspicious about the assertion about "Jesse" ---> "Essaim" here, but I don't think I have the linguistic knowledge to say anything with certainty.

Maroon

20:26

Linking "JE" to "E" doesn't seem too implausible if I take spelling and translation conventions (e.g. the fact that "J" is often "meant" to indicate what in English is a "Y" sound, e.g. "Jehoshaphat" v.s. "Yehoshafat") into account, I think.

Maroon

20:46

The comment on plurality seems less intuitive. I'm not sure if non-English languages generally allow plurals to be assigned to names (e.g. in "the Araragis of this world").

Hakase

these Araragis are outta this world, man! You gotta try em

Toshinou Kyouko

Fuujin Monogatari seems nice

Maroon

At this point though, I might as well admit that whoever thought up the phrase probably wasn't too interested in coming up with something "accurate" or "meaningful", but my wish to see a result that makes some sense is apparently holding me back.

@ton.yeung: reverse Turing test!

Guess I didn't pick out the most obvious (translation) example, but that's probably normal.

quick question

finally moving into my own place... after so many months.. sigh

@ton.yeung should I get my own modem, equipment? or just get the lent gear TWC provides...

im assuming not the later..

and I hate time warner, but they dont have grande comm, in the area I'm at.. which is the superior ISP around

trying to setup internet now. so just curious if i should go to the nearest computer store and pick up a good modem or just use the one they can provide

Hakase

why do you need a modem in the first place

just plug the cable directly into your pc

oh wait I thought router… is your local internet provider giving you phone line cables?

shaggy

wifi.. and i would need something to convert cable internet to a cat5 cable no?

yeah cable

Hakase

if you have a notebook with a wifi card, you can share internet over wifi to other devices, but the notebook has to be running for that

Roel van Uden

Use whatever modem they provide. If it happens to be a WiFI router built-in, too, awesome, use that too and see if it is stable enough for your needs. If it's just a modem, or a WiFi-less router, get a router and hook it up.

Hakase

22:21

I never had a router given to me so when I needed to share wifi to my netbook, I bought one

shaggy

here in the states, ISPs love to lease out modems... kinda like hidden fees

and additional 6-10 $$$ a month

Roel van Uden

Oh really? Did not know that. TIL.

shaggy

from my experience at least.

Roel van Uden

Can you confirm that though? I mean it's kind of a waste to buy your own modem if you get one for free. We basically "lease" them here as well, we have to give them back when we stop the contract, but we don't pay for it.

shaggy

yeah they do, but sometimes the particular modem they provide you with isn't sufficient enough to reach the speeds you are paying for.

Roel van Uden

22:31

If it's free, it doesn't hurt to try it. If it sucks, it's just a quick run to a store to replace it anyway. OTOH I'm Dutch and apparently we're known to be uhm.. conservative.. about spending money. Take that with a grain of salt :P

shaggy

like I said they lease it to you. 6- 10 USD a month in addition to your normal plan cost

Hakase

just get a 30 usd router and you'll be set for life

would be 3-5 months of "router lease" otherwise

I've heard stories of routers overheating and breaking but I've never had an issue like that

shaggy

haha I have a pretty good idea, I used frequent the nederlands quite a bit

Roel van Uden

Well you'll need to get a modem too if they don't provide that. Still cheaper to flat out buy that too rather than renting it.

Frosteeze

^

i bought my own modem, cheaper than if they gave it to you
