So, I just finished watching Kima ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de. I watched this because it said Alternate Setting on Majikoi. It was a good anime and all, but, my question is how do these anime relate. All I've managed to find is that they were developed and published by Minato Soft.
@Memor-X if you didn't know, greenlight had the 100 usd entry fee after a month of its launch when they realized a bunch of people uploaded shitpost instead of real game submissions
@Taisho yeh but when you seriously think about getting into releasing books you do plan ahead so you bulk buy 10 to cover the next 10 books and work from there. with games if you're just releasing your little hobby project then it's highly unlikely you've though ahead beyond just "getting it out there" and not though about you're going to support it in the future
@Taisho I can't imagine it'd be that much. It's mostly just text, and even the O.E.D's website only has approximately 600,000 words to define.
Then again, it did take a long time for ARTFL project to load all 65,000~ entries it had on file for An American Dictionary of the English Language. I'm not sure why.
@Memor-X I did a wildcard search with an asterisk with nothing else to get the H.T.M.L. page with all the results. I think the file is on my other computer though.
@Tonepoet no i mean when did ARTFL do that upload. if i'm reading the right thing it was founded in 1982 so the long time could be because of shitty tech compared to today
There was an anime, a female main character. In a like mass effect ish land. A police force with all sorts of alien species, and everyone has super powers and she fights monsters and bad guys with energy blasts and the animation is phenomenal.... help me.
In the show Re:Creators, fictional characters start roaming "real world". Those fictional characters where created for the show, but are often reminiscent of characters from other fictional works in reality.
What characters or combination of would be closest to the fictional characters in Re:Cre...
Ok, so I saw an anime on Cartoon Network.
It was a Mecha anime.
There was a kid, he was taking a test of something with other kids up in space after leaving Earth. It was him and a girl, who really liked him.
There is a scene at the beginning where they were attacked or something.
The male c...
The grand magic games were said to be around for years but they don't seem to have any referees I mean they don't have anyone who's able to sense that someone from the crowd got rid of Lucy's spell and that was a huge one. I mean whats to stop a guild from having a bunch of people use support mag...
A creature has evolved to protect the herd. Its blood contains chemicals that act like pepper spray, burning the eyes and throat of anything around it. However it wants to be able to get a decent coverage on a pack of predators.
So how large an area could the blood be sprayed into?
To clarify I...
Can someone give me a summary of WTF's going on with the DMCA thing? I took a glance a some of the questions on that list. I don't see anything on them that contain infringing material? Is merely talking about a series considered "infringing"?
Or has the "infringing material" already been removed and wiped from the post histories?
Looks like I'm not the only with this question. Seems like another one of those bullshit claims.
I rewatched Ponyo recently, and there are quite a few briefly touched on, but not thoroughly explained, mystical elements that left me wondering rather I was missing part of the allusions. I'm not sure which elements are simply part of Miyazaki's usual building of unique/magical worlds, and whic...
I am very curious about the IQ of several characters that are portrayed as 'genius' in several mangas. I do understand the problem with estimating IQ of public figures because of insufficient data, but these characters have a lot of situations and games that extensively show their thinking skills...
@Mysticial the law is such that if the DMCA claim isn't outright invalid, the target site has to comply and remove potentially infringing content. It's not in the interest of the site to post counter-claims, it is the duty of users, as it turns out. For now Jnat said SE lawyers are thinking about how to salvage the situation, but there is no estimate for when we'll get an answer from the lawyers, or if that even happens at all.
it looks very likely that this is an automatically generated DMCA and also that our lawyers aren't very hasty about any of this
idk what the procedure is for invalidating certain items on the list, but there is at least one url which is not even for a stackexchange site, and a bunch of links are not for specific questions but for whole tags
some of these tags don't have any questions with infringing content, as our users have pointed out
Which had me wondering if the they did have them and were removed. SE staff have the ability to edit the revision history to completely wipe something from existence.
I didn't mean to imply a conspiracy. I had just noticed the DMCA thing. Saw the list, found nothing wrong with them. And which let to believe that either the claim was bullshit, or the staff had already handled it.
if it's not deleted, then our lawyers didn't consider it a valid request to delete that post
otherwise it's deleted
and in case of some deleted posts I don't see anything infringing myself
but perhaps our lawyers did, and we don't know
that's the thing − SE lawyers haven't clearly explained their decision making in these specific cases
we're kinda in the dark about hows and whys
one thing we know is that a user (but we don't know which user) of SE can file a counter-claim to restore deleted posts
I asked if a "user" is limited to only the OP of the question, poster of the targeted deleted post (can be a question, answer or a comment, they all have a url with "post" or "question" in it, but depending on the id, the page will highlight either of the 3), or if it can be any user registered with SE, even a new user with 1 rep
so far no info about that
so we're waiting for clarification on all that indefinitely
From a practical perspective, even if the try to sue SE, I don't see how they can win. I looked at a few more on that list. They all either have no media, or a fair use image.
Not sure what sort of compensation they can possibly get out of SE and whether it can offset legal costs of pursuing such a case.
> While anime voice actors are themselves amazing, bringing all our favorite characters to life, they're trapped like flies in amber in a terrible industry. On the one hand, the seiyu world is highly organized, with a strict system of seniority that basically guarantees even popular VAs will starve until they've been working for a decade or so. (Hayami Saori got only $3000 for each season of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU because she's so young and new to the industry...the agency she's affiliated with kept the rest.)
and in the recent post
> I also wrote about the way the anime and game industry is being tormented by greedy, slow-to-change seiyuu industry, with talent agencies who extract massive fees for voice actor work then demand even more fees for licensors trying to publish visual novels outside Japan, shortsightedly blocking many titles from being published in English. (It's why there are so few BL and otome games for you to play.) Only a tiny amount of the money collected by these agencies is given to the voice actors themselves, especially for anyone who hasn't been in the industry that long. So I wondered, could the…
According to this site, Hayami Saori made less than $30k in 2015 despite being an A-1 name. http://moe.vg/2rB3Se6 https://t.co/Vh3M0TPh2V
@Mysticial yeh i didn't comment on that side because my only understanding of Japanese living is that they apartments are quite small but not sure what they cost
looking at the link in the tweet i'm not sure where it gets the 10% from. the total for TV Apperances is over 27 million yen yet Hayami got only ~10% of that
OTOH, you don't want jobs like that paying too much either. Otherwise you get a bunch of unqualified people doing it for money. Then you get plane crashes.
@Mysticial true but then the fault lies with the employer who should be hiring based on skill and making sure current employee's training is up to date
Though from what I hear, the "seasoned" pilots at big airlines pay much better. Like deep in the 6-figure range. I have no problem with that. It's a job that demands.
@Memor-X Something about the translation seems off. 万, if it's what I think it is, the character for the 10k unit in Chinese. And it seems to translate that way. 272*10k is only 2.7 million
I speak Cantonese, but I'm illiterate. Mandarin follows the same units, and possibly Japanese as well. The units I'm aware of are 100, 1000, 10000, and 100 million.
But I don't know how to write any of them.
I believe there are even higher units, but I was never properly schooled, so I don't know them.
Though going higher, I believe they start combining the units.
I cannot recall the name of an anime, it's about people who can, with the help of some sort of crystal, get these bionic suits in which they fight against aliens with like yellow blood and a group a of three who want to extract the core from these aliens and the bionic suits of these three are al...
In dragon ball super, the super shenron can grant any wish with no limitation and much more powerful than reguler shenron. But, I wonder if he can grant wish if for example someone want to be more powerful than zeno, or any other too big wish. What do you think?
The spirits that work for Yubaba in the bath house seem to be to varying degrees, froglike. Some seem to be fully frogish, like Aogaeru.
While others are mostly human like Lin, and still others seem to be mixes of human and frog.
Is there any reason given in the Spirtied Away or in Japanese m...
The theme of July's movie night will be: Robots! 🤖
Your film should significantly involve, or be about, robots. At least one of them. Possibly, but not necessarily, giant robots. Mechas are counted. Cyborgs & organic robots will be counted, since there's fuzzy grey area I'd rather us be able to...
