Trout?

Unrelated String

aside from it probably being relatively fatty...?

〼

@Memor-X Do you realize who that is?

alas, I came here for something else.

I think I know who the author is, but it was unsourced where I found it.

Nope, Google only finds the usual booru sites.

I though it was something from her - twitter.com/hanavbara

Doremi magic wand replica available on AmiAmi if someone is interested.

@SPArcheon Who's "©HN"?

Andrew T.

~~"copyrighted <handle name>"?~~

Danbooru at least mentioned the artist "HN" and has links to their profiles on danbooru.donmai.us/artists/157624

Peilonrayz

@AndrewT. Same copyright on at least one pic too

Andrew T.

yeah, the image is on Pixiv: pixiv.net/en/artworks/92045943

SPArcheon

@AndrewT. oh, you are right - there is a small signature near the hair. Didn't even notice it. Alas, since google lookup mostly tracked the image to booru sites, I didn't look into the name of the author. Don't want to stumble on "draws very well, its is actually nswf most of the time" artists.

Andrew T.

very understandable :)

Q: Did Yoshihiro Togashi make an agreement that in the event of his passing, nobody would be allowed to complete Hunter x Hunter?

I've recently heard a rumor suggesting that Yoshihiro Togashi has some form of agreement that, in the event of his passing, nobody else would be allowed to complete 'Hunter x Hunter.' Has anyone else come across this claim? Additionally, I've been curious about Togashi's intentions for the contin...

@SPArcheon no. who is it?

SPArcheon

@Memor-X I knew I already saw that face, so I reverse searched it.

Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister!

Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister! (Japanese: お兄ちゃんはおしまい!, Hepburn: Onii-chan wa Oshimai!, lit. 'Older Brother Is Done For!') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nekotofu. The series has been serialized online since 2017; it is also currently serialized in Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Rex magazine since April 2019. It is licensed in English by Kodansha USA. An anime television series adaptation by Studio Bind aired from January to March 2023; it gained high ratings, although it received a mixed reception from critics. == Plot == The series follows Mahiro Oyama, an otaku and NEET who lives...

It is the story of a BOY drinking a potion made by his sister by mistake and turning into a GIRL.

Never watched it, refer to the wikipedia page for some of the potential issues it has.

That's just to say that technically the two characters in the picture are brother and sister.

(unless the sister is the one in the background, I don't really know)

JNat

12:57

@SPArcheon they are, indeed

I watched the anime, and can confirm

SPArcheon

@JNat Based on this picture...

there seem to be two characters with similar air styles.

JNat

right, my bad

they are not siblings

SPArcheon

In @Memor-X picture the one in the front is the bottom one, the one in the back is the top one. I think the sister is the top one

JNat

the sister has red tones in her hair

the pic above has blue tones

myanimelist.net/character/161357/Mahiro_Oyama

myanimelist.net/character/170094/Momiji_Hozuki

they are those 2

SPArcheon

@JNat Isn't the sister the one with the C shaped hairpin? so the one in the back in Memor-X pic

JNat

13:05

@SPArcheon the older sister here is the one with the red hairpiece

Peilonrayz

13:19

@SPArcheon The science girl made the potion the brother drank. The background character is wearing science stuff. I didn't watch enough to know who the girl in the suit holding the MC is.

SPArcheon

@Peilonrayz Exactly, that was my guess to.

JNat

13:37

@SPArcheon the girl holding the MC in Mem's pic is the one in front of the character "wearing science stuff" in this pic. The one with the blue shirt over the brown t-shirt

they form kind of a couple on the show

SPArcheon

13:52

@JNat see above Peilonrayz reply. I originally assumed the MC sister was the one holding her in Memor-X picture but that is not the case. The sister is the one in the background in Memor picture and the one wearing the white lab coat in mine.

Recognizable in both by the yellow C shaped hairpin and the red side ribbon

JNat

@SPArcheon oh, I hadn't noticed anyone on the background in Mem's pic

whenever y'all said "the one in the background" I thought you were referring to your pic

@SPArcheon this is all correct, yes

the one wearing the suit is... well, what I already said

@SPArcheon the girl holding the MC in Mem's pic is the one in front of the character "wearing science stuff" in this pic. The one with the blue shirt over the brown t-shirt

Peilonrayz

@JNat "brown t-shirt" is today the day I find out I'm colour blind? Her hair is brown, her t-shirt is grey (the star on the t-shirt is a lighter grey).

JNat

@Peilonrayz heh, sure, grey works. I'd say it has brownish tones, but... xD

we're talking about the same char, tho, yeah

no, ok

I zoomed in

it's fully grey, yes

SPArcheon

@Peilonrayz Yep, that was part of me not understanding what JNat was talking about until the last message.

JNat

orz

SPArcheon

14:07

@JNat and that was the other reason too :P

JNat

well, we got there eventually xD

SPArcheon

Relevant: Lum is RGB (warning: Lum from Urusei Yatsura)

hopefully someone also knows WHY this was made ^

Peilonrayz

14:22

@SPArcheon Ah, the JJBA colour pallet. anime.stackexchange.com/q/37900

SPArcheon

@Peilonrayz nope, totally wrong.

the choice here has a precise reason that ties in to the original manga.

Q: Is there any specific reason behind Lum's eye color being different in the Urusei Yatsura 2022 remake?

In the 2022 remake of Urusei Yatsura, Lum is given red/orange eyes. In the original version of the anime/manga, she always had blue eyes. It's a well-known fact that the hair color "change" thru the original 1981 serie is indeed deliberate - Lum was always intended to have rainbow-like, multic...

urusei-yatsura

relevant read.

Peilonrayz

14:43

Is her name being Lum (written in katakana) meant to be a reference to the Latin word lumen?

SPArcheon

15:00

@Peilonrayz Some art guys claim it is a reference to a bikini model called Agnes Lum. IMHO that is quite stupid.

Far simpler to think that Lum is actually "Rum" -> "Rumiko Takahashi", the author.

Peilonrayz

15:11

Yeah, I don't really see the Agnes Lum connection. I guess the Rumiko Takahashi would make sense

SPArcheon

@Peilonrayz something about the bikini apparently. As I said, nonsense mostly.

Furthermore, it is not even you can claim Lum appearance is based on Agnes either since she is a recurring face in Rumiko works.

Most blatant case being Shampoo in Ranma

@SPArcheon i still can't whether or not y'all actually sorted it out but yeah no while both of them (momiji and mahiro) do have sisters mihari is just in the background and kaede isn't there at all

SPArcheon

@UnrelatedString I think we already emotional scared poor @Memor-X as they discovered that the girl was actually a boy turned into a girl.

Unrelated String

if there's a problem with the image it's that they still appear to be in middle school :p

Q: Manhwa younger sister trying not to get killed by older brother

I read this manhwa one time a lot but I seem to have forgotten the title name. The mc is a young girl with blonde hair and purple/pink eyes and a t mark on her face like a scar. Her older brother has long black hair and red eyes and the plot is essentially she is trying to avoid being killed by h...
