@Taisho i think i get it, i just don't understand why do such a comparison

like instead of a Nintendo Controller why not a Joystick?

my grudge is with the comments repeating the overused pattern of "who's the third girl" "I've got news for you" every time

@Taisho but it's clear from the controller reference that it's a guy. since when in anime was there a 1 boobed girl?

thus 1 center stick = penis

you know how it's weird when you've only got one boob at the waist height

everybody knows he's not a girl, we can still call him a girl

just answer the question and say who that is

stop with the "have I got a surprise for you" responses

@Taisho fine. they are a trap

5:38 AM

that problem with such massive online communities is that there's no age (or rather experience) grouping and you get to hear the same jokes you've been hearing since forever, all the time and it's always new and funny to someone coz there's always someone new

5:52 AM

@Hakase yes but not the movie gonna watch it today

@Memor-X not the movie but yeah the whole series

might as well watched all 3 movies at one

@ColdFire yeh, watch the movie. considering what Gen Urobuchi could have done given his previous works it's much better

dips @Darjeeling into black water

@Memor-X ok

hey

Q: Why does Yui have a tail and shackles?

0

During the series i noticed Yui has a tail (which at times i think is moving independent of Yui) and she also has a couple of shackles on her arms. Now if her shackles were related to her life it sorta makes sense since she mostly paralyzed from the neck down but that wouldn't explain her ...

Q: Why can't the Battle Front fight NPCs?

After Naoi's taken control of the Student Council she starts using them as shields against the Battle Front because, as Yuri said, they can't attack NPCs. I would get if it was a moral ground they stood but in the climax we see that a number of the guys following Naoi was holding guns. Sure they...

@Darjeeling no i haven't finished it yet. i'm 3 episodes and a OVA off

@ColdFire Angel Beats. i figured with 3 questions popping up @Darjeeling might think i've finished it

@Memor-X i have watched the anime series

Q: Did Yuzuru ultimately cause Hatsune's death?

Yuzuru Otonashi's sister Hatsune had cancer and there was indications that it was getting worse. came christmas the doctors refused to let her out but keeping his word Yuzuru snuck in and took her out. when we seem them together outside and when Yuzuru talks to her she seems very weak and Yuzuru...

@Darjeeling no that's Kuroko and Misaka

oh hey i just learned that Gen Urobuchi, the guy who wrote a story about children being killed by eldritch abominations, a story about an eldritch abomination who appears as a loli and tried to mutate the entire world and a story about girls being used by a shoujo ai/yuri hating eldritch abomination, wrote Thunderbolt Fantasy which i'm quite sure has no eldritch abominations in it

i wonder how much of Butcher Bingo can be done with it

6:42 AM

@Sakamoto because obviously she's sucubus

@Darjeeling that's what i thought at first but she's human

there's copyright on the script

well, there's that thing where a translated work of literature becomes its own work of literature, so that's a weird ruling

subtitles aren't exactly literature, though

@Hakase word

if i translated harry potter into swahili, i wouldn't be able to publish it though

8:15 AM

@Hakase i think it's just the growth of the site, i dont think there was anytihng in place

if we really wanna find out we could ask on law.se

I just keep thinking that maybe if we hid all ID questions and meta posts from google, it would drop us in the search results for "what anime" or whatever people google when they're looking to ID anime

Women in the military world of Wombs follow a lunar cycle, which is when they are able to operate. The moon is commonly linked to pregnancy, many regions believing that a full moon leads to more births. There are many other links to the moon explained within the manga.

@ColdFire can't help it

@Sakamoto sounds weirdly repulsive and kinda interesting at the same time

repulsive coz some dudes are on the big panel

interesting coz weird moon stuff

@Hakase they're only really in it for two pages

I really enjoyed it, it's kinda weird cuz it's about pregnant soldiers, but it's written really well

i think it is ongoing

really unique

A: What are the legality rules in terms of manga translations?

@Darjeeling yeh i can't explain that.

@JNat we have an answer which already said that fansubbers was in the wrong legally so that ain't new

19

This is a matter of international copyright law, and as such is fairly complicated and depends on where you live. However, for most of the developed world the laws are fairly standardized and so, if you're willing to paint with broad brush-strokes and ignore technical nuances, the laws are all pr...

> I'll also point out that while fansubbers and scanalators are almost certainly legally in the wrong, the number of cases related to this is quite small. There are several reasons for this. For one, the Japanese industry is built to sell merchandise in Japan, so they have little interest in prosecuting cases overseas. The licensing industry, on the other hand, was built around an already extant culture of fansubbing, and so they've always just factored that in.

The bigger reason this doesn't happen is probably that the backlash that would occur against a licensing organization which did t…

so i think it's just smoke and mirrors. they want to show that they are cracking down on all piracy and setting the legal precedent allowing for IP owners to sue

also the article says at the end...

> A better solution might be for content creators and distributors to release officially subtitled content simultaneously worldwide, much in the same way that some big American TV shows and movies are now being released in Europe and Asia at the same time, rather than a few months or years later.

which ultimately is why people pirate. i don't have the data but i read that since iTunes music piracy went down and the same with pc video game piracy when Steam came out so alot of people are willing to pay but they need to be given the option to get what they pay for

there will always be the self entitled dickhead who thinks that entertainment is owed to them and shouldn't pay but if you eliminate piracy and Japan did at least foriegn subs in all their anime, it's those self entitled dicks who miss out

at the moment though the best we can do is learn japanese which should be made mandatory in all schools and given equal, if not more importance than english. that way by the end of high/secondary school we are all fluent in japanese and have the disposable income to buy everything we want

10:14 AM

japanese ftw!

@Taisho it's a deleted answer so if you didn't use @Taisho's account you should be able to see it

I really wish I could learn japanese... but I don't really have a clue where to start

with the hiragana

@ToshinouKyouko the name and initial premise about pregnant soldiers seems.....errrrr.....to me but maybe that's because when i imagine pregnant i'm imagining last trimester

@Memor-X yeah it's a weird concept, but it is well written

10:19 AM

just brought Dark Rose Valkyrie and another set of Nepu Nepus..........i couldn't resist! they're so cute!

though i'm surprised they are still avaliable

@ToshinouKyouko you brought any?

@Gao probably came from some anime or something. I've seen another picture with the same pose with different character

two girls

@Darjeeling my attention you have

lol it's nothing yuri. just two girls with the same pose with that picture. I couldn't find it tho. Pretty sure I have it somewhere

it was nice fan art tho

@Memor-X no nepu nepus for me

@Darjeeling dang. i was hoping for something cute and romantic

11:46 AM

maybe when i move into a bigger apartment

@ToshinouKyouko fair enough. but the longer you wait the longer you go without their cuteness

@Darjeeling hey you found it

it's cute

yea I remember the art style and found the artist

the pose has something to do with this tag pixiv.net/…

don't know what it is

huh it's cute pose

can you read that?

> Specifically, anime producers usually have both greater ability and interest in protecting their IP than manga producers.

@LoganM why is that?

I thought anime gets the most money from running ads around the episodes aired on tv

and manga sells within huge regular journals which also contains other manga and so much more ads that couldn't possibly fit into an episode of anime

I thought we had a Q&A which basically says anime doesn't get any money off-screen like in disc or video-on-demand sales

[citation needed]

2

anime gets loads of money offscreen

merch is king

oh you mean as in, video sales off-air

@Memor-X I'm not using his account in the browser, it's a textbox in the chat bot app, and I can't browse from there

@ToshinouKyouko I mean as in why would anime makers be more interested in killing fansubs than scanlations

oh

regarding that post by Logan explaining the legalities of both

2:40 PM

I would say that anime companies are probably bigger and have more money to fund killing

yes but why

as stated in Logan's answer, it wouldn't be a profitable deal and not like they could enforce it

folks who would watch the series on TV in Japan, in Japanese, can still enjoy a fansub downloaded copy to the same extent

if they can't read english however, they can't read the scanslations

I think there's some confusion here

I thought fansubs = fan-made subtitles

scanlations are kinda all-inclusive coz it involves typesetting and painting over the existing text bubbles

but you can distribute subtitle files without the video

true, most don't seem to do that though

well, it's not like you'd be getting one without the other, usually

2:43 PM

I'd think they would care significantly more for those that include video rather than those that only release the subs

I'm talking about text-only translations in form of subtitles

perhaps I'm the only one interpreting the term "fansub" this way and the whole answer is written about the whole package deal of translation + original video and audio

but then I still have to question why protecting anime would be more profitable than manga

maybe per-copy the price is higher for anime discs than the entirety of manga, but what about the ad views on TV vs the shounen jumps?

(mystery)

yeah, I dunno who gets what money when and where for what... it is tricky

could just be a "because we can" sorta thing too

the "because we can" is countered by risking public backlash (although I also gotta wonder why if everyone knows it's pretty much illegal)

probably another instance of "because we can", from the fans this time

yeah

Q: Quiz question on keigo

While stumbling across Lucky Star episode 15 (26-second clip, from 8:51 - 9:17), I found that there was a scene where the characters were watching a quiz show, where one of the questions asked was on keigo: Ｑ：「行く」の謙{けん}譲{じょう}語{ご}はなんでしょうか。Ａ：正{せい}解{かい}は「参{まい}る」でした！ (The characters we...

10:15 PM

@Taisho So, is she a young girl, or is she middle aged? >_>

@Hakase which then requires the original DVD, which isn't a problem, and a program which will rip the episodes into separate files. it's the latter which can trip people up especially when you have Region Restricted DVD/BluRay Drives which require using up one of your 5 times in changing it (not sure if this is just a Windows thing) and DVD/Bluray Players generally don't have the ability to play subtitles unless there is a recognizable architecture on a USB Drive which then requires ripping

then there's also how DVDs work. Fullmetal Alchemist (from an English localized) perspective splits the episodes seem to be just one long movie with the chapter skip as the episode select. but in Angel Beats each episode is separate which is why if you look at the DVD timer the 3rd episode of Fullmetal Alchemist is on like +40 minutes while Angel Beats always starts at 0

@Tonepoet when it comes to vampires it really doesn't matter since their appearance generally doesn't match their age

Q: Is there any physical difference between Gohan in base form and Gohan in mystic form?

The only physical difference I've ever seen between Gohan in base form and Gohan in mystic form it's a radiance he displays for a second in the Battle of Gods movie when turning into mystic form. Aside of this minimum difference, is there any other change in his appearence when he is in base form...

Q: Which was the name of this Rurouni Kenshin song?

I remember the song in the begining of this video was from Rurouni Kenshin. But I can't remember its name. Which is the name of that song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsOJJlLd8YY

theme-song rurouni-kenshin

@Memor-X The Old Maids Alliance tacitly rejects your claim with a hundreds of furrowed eyebrows, a thousand blushes and a youthful beauty that would make teenagers envious. =P More importantly though, nothing about Vampirism was said in the panel so I didn't know that.

2

@Tonepoet isn't the members of the alliance Youkai anyway? and also the link right after is what i assume the series is and i assume it's talking about the character who's a vampire

anyway what would the alliance reject to? that they can be 150 years old and still look beautiful?

@Memor-X So I only looked at the picture without following the link that came after. Even if I did, knowing which character in the series that is, is a little difficult without seeing the person's face or knowing the standard uniform.

10:47 PM

@Memor-X Also, I don't really know for certain. It might not be a well reasoned thought, or if it is, the rationale may differ from fan-artist to fan-artist. Much of the joke is that they're bashful about their age, despite being effectively immortal and ageless.

@Tonepoet bashful about their age?

@Memor-X Let's just say the image with the candles on Yukari's birthday cake is far from the only image of its sort.

@Tonepoet ahhh i get you
