Hm, the main char in this novel is part of a group called "Erorists". That should be interesting. /cc @StackedCrooked

I'm bored so I'm submitting a bunch of tag wiki excerpts...

Q: Is there any reliable source that explains the Tsugumi Ohba-Hiroshi Gamo pen name?

It is said in some sites (including Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Gam%C5%8D) that based on some cross-references the Bakuman and Death Note author, Tsugumi ohba, would be actually using a pen name, being his true name Hiroshi Gamo, another 50-year-old mangaka that was some kind ...

this question could use some tag edits

grasshopper

05:27

morning

@Krazer retagging... feel free to rettag my edit

@Krazer removed the author names and penname tag not sure if they'll be used on other questions, but like I said feel free to rettag

> The secret organization of Erorists, "Eagle", has ordered our protagonist Takamura Manabu to pursue the mission of his career: "Seduce Queen Milk Elioto of the Big Breasts Tribe and Queen Teresa Premadasa of the Flat Chests Tribe and bring this war to a close."

@Xeo This what you're talking about?

Alenanno

10:20

@atlantiza Ahah nice.

Tons of questions about Naruto lol

Mysticial

An virtually no questions on recent shows. :(

Alenanno

Not even on older shows, like Hokuto no Ken. :P

Mysticial

SAO is pretty much the only recent show I've seen show up.

And I answered one of them...

Madoka was the other relatively recent show that was asked.

Alenanno

SAO?

Mysticial

If you don't know that one, then you definitely don't watch new shows - at all. :D

SAO = Sword Art Online

Alenanno

10:27

I guess not lol

Mysticial

It quite literally is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) show airing these last two seasons.

Alenanno

Even more than One Piece?

Mysticial

Excluding long-running shows.

Alenanno

:P

Mysticial

Among the shows that started airing these last two seasons, I believe SAO is near the top, if not the top.

I've always wondered, what % of people outside of Japan watch subs vs. dubs.

Along with a small % who watch raws.

Alenanno

10:37

I'll tell you, the italian version on TV sucks.

For example, Naruto looks like a childish cartoon.

And so on.

Mysticial

Because anyone who watches dubs can't possibly watch new shows. If they make up the majority of the population, then that would explain why so few people watch new shows.

Alenanno

They censor a lot of stuff.

Mysticial

@Alenanno So it's dubbed?

Alenanno

@Mysticial In Italy everything is dubbed, unfortunately. Italian dubbers are really good in Movies and TV Shows, but I'd prefer to watch the original.

Mysticial

While I was at ACEN back in April, I was in a "Name that Show" competition involving music.

I got killed on everything about old shows.

Alenanno

10:39

Oh.

Mysticial

But destroyed almost everyone on new shows.

Alenanno

Like what?

xD

Mysticial

Old shows like: Narato, Inuyasha, etc...

New shows like: Macross Frontier, Durarara, Arakawa

I still remember which shows got me into the final 5.

I swept like all of them. It was kinda hilarious.

Alenanno

Wow Inuyasha...

Or Ranma.

Those are old.

Mysticial

I remember Ranma appearing in that competition.

So I'm definitely in the minority...

Since it's clear from that competition and the types that are appearing these last two days, that new shows are not popular.

Probably because they are harder to access.

Alenanno

10:45

Or maybe because they are still new. And some don't gain traction anyways...

Mysticial

That's possible.

Martin Sojka

I need to rewatch my collection. I'm pretty sure I have some question about the more headscratch-worthy elements of shows like FLCL or Madlax (.. or hell, anything by Bee Train for that matter), I just need to remember the details. :)

Sadly, Christmas = family time, so that won't be before 2013 rolls over.

Mysticial

11:04

Why is it I can see the history of deleted messages on SO, but not here?

I can see flags here.

Alenanno

@Mysticial Are you a room owner there?

Mysticial

@Alenanno Yes

I guess that would explain it?

Alenanno

@Mysticial That's why, yes. :)

Hello @Xeo

Xeo

@Mysticial Yeah, only room owners can see deleted messages.

Hey @Alenanno

Alenanno

@Xeo And mods. :P But I guess you gave that as obvious.

Mysticial

11:12

@Xeo Which is funny, because I'm one of the newest room owners of the lounge.

I'd been in the lounge for 14 months now, and I've only been room owner for 3 months?

Alenanno

And then when you see a terrible mistake in a page that's supposed to help you with studying... You kind of lose faith in it.

Xeo

@StackedCrooked Yeah

Mochan

Kon'nichiwa Minna-sama!

Alenanno

@Mochan こんにちは！

Xeo

"sama"?

...

Mysticial

11:14

...

Alenanno

@Xeo 皆様 (Minasama)

Mochan

@Alenanno おっす！元気ですか～？

Martin Sojka

@Mochan "みんな"?

Alenanno

@MartinSojka みな

Mochan

@MartinSojka みんな

Alenanno

11:15

xD

Mochan

@Alenanno O＿O

Alenanno

@Mochan 元気！あなたは？

@Mochan Not my fault! The Dictionary lol

Mochan

@Alenanno 元気よ～！

Martin Sojka

And I blame my stupid IME for turning な into あ while I wasn't paying attention. :)

Alenanno

shrugs

I guess minna is a variation? Don't know lol

Mochan

11:17

@Alenanno Ah. I see! Sorry, I have been going on the romaji way of it. Stupidly enough, I was corrected when I stopped using just 'mina'. That's why.

Yeah: Minna-sama is the usual romaji I've seen, but I'm not Japanese, so.

Alenanno

@Mochan You're not? Stupid question: you're not the one in the pic? XD

Mochan

Anyways I am SO glad there is a Anime & Manga SE site! ^,^

Martin Sojka

"Minasama" and "minasan" is the usual way I heard and seen it ...

Mochan

@Alenanno Hehe no, she's Korean :3

Martin Sojka

@Alenanno The picture is of a Korean actress/idol/model/...

Alenanno

11:20

Oh. :P

Mochan

@MartinSojka Perhaps we've been looking at different sources~ hehe

@MartinSojka Actress/singer :3

Son Ga-in <3

Alenanno

@MartinSojka and @Mochan where are you from?

Mochan

@Alenanno Australia ^w^

Xeo

@MartinSojka Yeah, though I find the "-san" version more common. Or even no suffix at all.

Mochan

@Xeo It depends. I think you're all my superiors. Anyone with <1000 rep? Haha

Alenanno

11:21

@Mochan Oooh... We live kind of far from each other lol

Mochan

@Xeo I also think -san is used or a group of friends. Mina-sama is for a group of strangers (no offence :P) or people you have high regard for ! :D

@Alenanno Where are you residing?

Madara Uchiha

Yo, mina-tachi

Alenanno

@Mochan I'm from everywhere and nowhere, the up and the down, from the truth and beyond, a place where time or space are not important, where everything began and everything will end... ... ... Ok, I'm from Italy.

Xeo

@Mochan Hm, makes sense in a way.

Mochan

こんにちは、@MadaraUchiha

Xeo

11:23

@MadaraUchiha While that doesn't make much sense, does it?

Alenanno

@Mochan Strangers is not offensive here, it's the truth lol

Mochan

@MadaraUchiha Mou... another variation

Martin Sojka

@Mochan 131 rep, 1 question, 0 answers. You're among peers here. :)

Mochan

@Alenanno Italy! Wow, that's awesome. I've never met someone Italian/residing in Italy! :)

Alenanno

@Mochan At your service. bows

Mochan

11:24

@MartinSojka Heh. I think I mean total rep :)

Madara Uchiha

stackexchange.com/users/466356/madara-uchiha

=)

Mochan

@Alenanno I would just fall to pieces if you said "Yes, my Lord." Any Kuroshitsuji watchers here?

Martin Sojka

@Mochan Total rep doesn't really matter most of the time. :)

Alenanno

@Mochan I'd like to see it. lol

Xeo

@MadaraUchiha "mina" is already "all", and "tachi" makes it ... plural?

Alenanno

11:25

@Mochan But I can't use "Lord" with you, can I?

Mysticial

@MartinSojka Especially when it's easier to get it on some sites than others.

Think SO...

Mochan

@Xeo Everyones :P

Madara Uchiha

@Xeo Hello, alls.

Mochan

@Alenanno B-but it's a quote...!

Xeo

@MadaraUchiha While that doesn't make much sense, does it?

Mochan

11:26

@MadaraUchiha +1

Xeo

As I said...

Alenanno

@Mochan Oh, didn't know that. :P

Mysticial

@Xeo I was gonna say, it seemed redundant.

Mochan

@Alenanno That's why I mentioned "Any Kuroshitsuji watchers here?" they'd understand e . e

Alenanno

:P

Mochan

11:27

What's happening with the formatting?

Xeo

No whitespace between * and text

Alenanno

I fixed it for ya.

:P

Noooo xD

Remove the space!

Mochan

@Xeo OHHH

There! :)

Alenanno

I keep hearing the "PING" because you keep editing LOL

:D

Mochan

Waaah gomen ne XD

Hahaha

Alenanno

11:29

Ahah no problem lol

I don't mind.

Xeo

@Alenanno If only it was "PING".

Mochan

Any Reborn! watchers here either?

@Xeo pong

Alenanno

@Xeo Well yeah a kind of "peng".

Mochan

LOL

Alenanno

Pung.

Xeo

11:29

@Mochan Aye

Mochan

So sound-specific

Xeo

More like "bwau"

Mochan

@Xeo GASHUGJLQGTRFLW;UIGFV;Q

ermahgerd... just to warn you all... if you talk about Reborn! or Clannad, please ignore my rash fangirlism

Alenanno

lol :P

Ok let's talk about Pollon. XD

lmao

Mochan

The chatroom would just be... overrun by tears... and laughing and e . e

Mysticial

11:31

@Mochan Let's talk about Clannad. :P

Mochan

@Alenanno I'm allergic. I have awful hayfever atm

@Mysticial nnnnnnng nooooo you'll kill me ;A:

Xeo

Let's talk about Boku no Pico.

Mysticial

What's the most spectacular way to kill the main character?

Mochan

Okay. Never heard of it :3

@Mysticial -death stare-

Mysticial

ahahahahahaha

Mochan

11:33

You...

Mysticial

We also have Higurashi. Kill all the main characters - every few episodes.

Mochan

ANYWHO. Let's um.... idk breakdance on the ceiling or something.

@Mysticial LOL. Kind of glad I've never seen it.

Mysticial

Kill them, revive them - so they can be killed again... and again...

Xeo

@Mochan The story is superb, though.

Mysticial

Sounds a bit like Mnemosyne.

Mochan

11:34

Q: Which is scarier/creepier/more disturbing - Higurashi or Elfen Lied?

Xeo

Higurashi in the creepy aspect, definitly.

Mochan

@Xeo // is too shota to withstand brainf*ck

Mysticial

Higurashi is amazing.

Alenanno

I am off, guys. Have fun! :P

Mochan

@Xeo I think Elfen is more disturbing

Xeo

11:34

Elfen Lied may be more violent thanks to the Diclonii, but Higurashi wins the scary prize.

Mysticial

cya

Mochan

@Alenanno Ja mata

Xeo

The actual feel the sound novel has is ... just woah.

Mysticial

Mirai Nikki is also up there in the creepy yandere...

Alenanno

@Mochan またね！

Mochan

11:35

@Xeo ugh... not watching it until I find some poor male victim to watch it with me.

@Alenanno Ja ne!

Xeo

@Mysticial Tell me how Yuno is creepy? :D

Mochan

-lists more slang for see ya-

Mysticial

@Xeo Not Yuno, just the show itself.

Deadman's Wonderland...

Xeo

Nah, Mirai Nikki is cool. The same author also has another manga currently being serialized - Big Order.

Mochan

So I wanted to ask also, what's happening on the subject of Hentai: safe or dangerous to post about?

Doesn't intend to...

Xeo

11:37

It feels very similar to Mirai Nikki, with the main char looking nearly the same and the female protag also reminding you of Yuno.

Mysticial

Deadman's Wonderland... Nothing like Kana Hanazawa's voice among a lot of violence.

Mochan

Opinions wanted

Xeo

Though the femal protag is constantly trying to kill the main char in Big Order - and can't do that directly since he bound her through his domain powers and forbid that..

Martin Sojka

@Mochan Treat carefully. Question about the plot should be fine though, but I kind of doubt most of them have enough plot to discuss (exceptions like Cream Lemon exist, obviously).

Xeo

The femal protag (Rin, IIRC) is also practically immortal thanks to her domain, so there are some funny situations.

Mysticial

11:38

@Xeo Mnemosyne?

Mochan

@MartinSojka Hehehe I haven't watched hentai. I've seen a little ecchi, but to the extent of Code Geass and Chobits ahhaa

Xeo

Like when they're crawling through a long, narrow shaft, and Rin thinks it'd be an awesome idea to kill the main char through a ricocheting bullet. Guess who "dies"?

Mochan

@Xeo Even I could guess that

Xeo

@Mysticial Don't know that one.

Mochan

Opinions wanted on this, too

Mysticial

11:40

@Xeo You might like it. But has a lot of nudity.

The main character in Mnemosyne is also named "Rin".

That's why I was confused.

Mochan

@Mysticial Kagamine Rin!! ^o^ joudan desuuu

Xeo

@Mysticial Ah, no: myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=28697

And it's not like "Rin" is a rare name :P

Mysticial

@Xeo It's definitely a common name - Little Busters, Rideback...

And more, just can't think of them off the top of my head.

Mochan

@Xeo Excellent AMV

:O

I have >1000 rep!

@Mysticial Rin from Little Busters! <3

It's sad.

I'm not allowed to curse on the Ask ubuntu chat TnT

Xeo

My condolences.

Mochan

I have been very deprived, @Xeo

I swear a lot

Mysticial

@Mochan Are they really that uptight?

Mochan

11:51

@Mysticial Awhhh you're too mean!

They're professional

Xeo

Pff.

Mysticial

Pff.

Mochan

I'd like to shout out to my friend on there, who is now apart of the beta - @AmithKK

Nah... it's hard to explain about how the Ask Ubuntu people are.

Btw @Mysticial, if I ever get to watch the SAO anime, I'll be sure to skip the Red-nosed Reindeer part. :s

Anyways, afk shower.

Madara Uchiha

12:20

Anyone read the latest Naruto chap yet?

Oh, look who's here

Hashirama Senju

it's been a long time, my old nemesis...

Alenanno

13:45

@MadaraUchiha Why do you always answer using the first person? lol

Am I the only one who kind of dislikes AMV videos? :|

Martin Sojka

13:57

What about them? o_O

Alenanno

What's not clear?

Martin Sojka

What's not to like about AMVs (as opposed to any other MV).

Alenanno

When I go to Youtube I like seeing pieces of actual Anime with voices and stuff not fan-made music videos.

They are utterly boring. :P Well, apart from one or two.

Martin Sojka

Not all AMVs are fan-made. :)

►

Alenanno

Youtube is being crappy, I'll try later.

JNat

14:02

hey @Alenanno , do you think this one is off-topic?

or do you simply think it will provide answers that cannot yet be proven?

because I think it would bring about two answers

the one Madara gave, and the opinion you have

that's about it

and I do not think they'd be subjective, since they could both be heavily substantiated

then it's about upvotes in each of them

right?

Madara Uchiha

@Alenanno Let a man dream

@JNat I think that question is quite easy

Because it's obvious, the Sixth Hokage was decided and died, no matter how short his time was.

Try asking harder, more expert-requiring questions

Alenanno

@MadaraUchiha I disagree. I actually think the opposite.

The question is not really off topic, @JNat but it's quite... theoretical.

I mean, just the fact that I disagree with Madara.

Madara Uchiha

@Alenanno So, if John Doe would be elected president at the country near your home, and is shot and killed two days into his time, wouldn't you consider him a president?

Would you count him as one, and list him as one?

Even if it is temporary, at least in our world, we still count it.

Martin Sojka

14:17

Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême

Louis Antoine of France, Duke of Angoulême (6 August 1775 – 3 June 1844) was the eldest son of Charles X of France and, from 1824 to 1830, the last Dauphin of France. After his father's abdication in 1830, he enjoyed a reign of twenty minutes, and after his father's death in 1836 was the legitimist pretender as Louis XIX of France and Navarre. A petit-fils de France at birth, he was initially known as Louis Antoine d'Artois. After his father's accession to the throne, he became fils de France, and his surname changed to de France, following the royal custom for princes with such rank. ...

Alenanno

It's totally different from Minato, though.

Martin Sojka

Make that "20 minutes".

Madara Uchiha

A practical example would be with Ariel Sharon, a former Israeli prime minister who fell into a coma during his presidency.

He was replaced by Ehud Olmert until the next elections, but he is still referred to as an "ex-prime minister"

Familiar?

Grace Note

This reminds me of how there was... I think a Mexican official whose office time was a matter of 18 minutes or something.

Madara Uchiha

Ooooh, a community coordinator, welcome to my dream land, @GraceNote

Grace Note

14:19

Heyho~

Alenanno

@GraceNote Hey Grace. :P

@MadaraUchiha I know Sharon, but not the other name. :P

Martin Sojka

Speaking of short-lived monarchs, I like the story of Sultan Sayyid Khalid bin Barghash of Zanzibar. Not only was his reign all of two days long, he also managed to be defeated in record time: The Anglo-Zanzibar War lasted all of 38 minutes before he surrendered.

Grace Note

Were they the last 38 minutes of his term?

Martin Sojka

14:35

@GraceNote Pretty much, yes.

Krazer

15:48

@GraceNote he was facing the British, too. They citied a treaty from 1866 which stated that a new Sultan could only accede to the throne with British permission...

Madara Uchiha

Hey

Grace Note

@Krazer Hah

Alenanno

@JNat By the way, hope you didn't take my comment personally. Same for you @MadaraUchiha. I just had some doubts about the question.

Madara Uchiha

@Alenanno I don't tend to take things personally over the internet :)

@JNat, congrats on edit priv :D

Alenanno

@MadaraUchiha That's nice. I'm going to kick your a** in a ninja duel, though! Because... I'm actually SANDAIME! lol

XD

Madara Uchiha

15:54

@Alenanno That's the best you could come up with? Sandaime, really?

P.S. have anyone read the latest Naruto chapter?

Alenanno

Actually that was a trickery... I won't be revealing my real identity yet.

Madara Uchiha

Not sure why this was downvoted though, I think it's correct...

1

A: Is it possible to combine all five chakra elements?

Chakra element combination is supposedly a born train. A Shinbo is born with one chakra element, and can master a few more (secondary elements). However, in some clans, such as the Senju (which I detest), they were born with two elements, (both Earth and Water), and they could naturally combine ...

Alenanno

Oh?

I didn't read it earlier, let me check.

Krazer

@Alenanno -sama, a more polite from of -san, is an honorific. Typically it's used with -san to address strangers.

Alenanno

@Krazer That was a wrong ping. :P

@MadaraUchiha "Chakra element combination is supposedly a born train"

Did you mean Trait?

Madara Uchiha

15:58

@Alenanno probably

Alenanno

:P

Madara Uchiha

@Alenanno That way I'm covered from both sides

It can either be born, or it can be trained :D

Krazer

@Alenanno I guess what I mean to say is that 皆 has 2 kun pronunciations みな and みんな

Alenanno

@Krazer Ah so it was for me lol

Krazer

@Alenanno I initially misread your initial msg. There's even a SE question about this, if you are interested~

Alenanno

16:07

Oh thanks! reads

Martin Sojka

@Krazer Three, actually. There's also むな ("muna"), though it's uncommon.

Logan Maingi

@MartinSojka I think むな is only used in names, though my dictionary could be wrong. There's also an 音読み, カイ

Martin Sojka

@LoganMaingi Your dictionary is right; it's still a kun reading of this kanji. :)

Krazer

@MartinSojka so four, if you count the "on" pronunciation :)

Martin Sojka

@Krazer That ... wasn't what you originally said. :)

In any case, "minna-sama" (which is what started the whole discussion) is sure to raise a few eyebrows. :D

Krazer

16:18

@MartinSojka but... I said two "kun" pronunciations~ ;'o

Martin Sojka

@Krazer Yes, and "muna" is one of them.

Krazer

@MartinSojka aren't they usually considered nanori (名乗り)?

Madara Uchiha

Yey, new avatar :D

Martin Sojka

@Krazer I'll have to check what my (Japanese) electronic dictionary says they are, but most online dictionaries like ja.wiktionary.org just show me On (in Katakana) and Kun (in Hiragana).

Krazer

@MartinSojka Ok :)

JNat

16:29

@Alenanno not at all! Especially because I think it is healthy to ask questions that may be closed at this stage of the site. So that we can understand what is considered off- and on-topic

hmm

I have a good question to pose

however, I am not sure how to title it without spoiling new readers of naruto

nevermind my last 3 posts here...

I forgot something pretty basic from naruto

@MadaraUchiha: I didn't think you'd replace your avatar

I though you were kidding

lol

Madara Uchiha

:D

Martin Sojka

@JNat Like the fact he's supposed to be a ninja? I don't blame you, knowing how real ninjas operated. ;)

JNat

@MartinSojka lol no. i forgot that copying jutsus was something that any sharingan user could do

so I was speculating some wild thoughts that are actually basic and known

never mind

jkerian

heh... real ninjas would dress as peasants :)

JNat

lol

jkerian

16:43

our 'dressed all in black' ninjas come from Japanese theater, where the stage hands would be dressed head-to-toe in black to avoid distracting the audience. To simulate 'coming from nowhere', the stage hand would suddenly be part of the show. :)

Martin Sojka

... and that comes from the theatre convention to regard anyone and anything in black as "invisible", even if it was cleanly visible on-stage.

Krazer

@jkerian I thought the idea was from puppet handlers of bunraku theater

jkerian

@Krazer I don't remember right now which form of theater it was from...

if it was kabuki or bunraku... (Noh seems unlikely)

Krazer

I wonder when black ninja costumes caught on

jkerian

16:59

Probably movies... by the time movies with ninjas were being made, the audience was used to the 'all-in-black' ninja from theater

But that would have been the first time it was an explicit choice

Madara Uchiha

THE MOST EVIL NINJA OF THEM ALL :D

JNat

we're shaking in our boots lol

I really am

@MadaraUchiha what the hell are you gonna do in the next chapter???

Krazer

@JNat Assuming Madara made us all ninjas (with his evil jutsus) when we weren't paying attention, we'd be quaking in our sandals.

JNat

lol

Madara Uchiha

@JNat Damn mate, I'm even eviler than I thought :P

Nice sniping though

I got it only at the third shot
