What anime/manga are the sword and the dog in this image from?

I can figure the rest of this image out, but I just don't know what anime/manga the sword and the dog are from. Can someone help me out?

dog looks like from Gintama with Pikachu color

thanks, i think the dog is right, but i don't think the sword is from bleach, when i look it up, i don't find that sword.

I believe the dog is from Gintama and the sword is from bleach. This is a combination from all different kinds of manga's and anime's. I don't have the time to give a full answer but if I have some time later I will give a proper answer.

The dog is a smaller version of Sadaharu from Gintama

From http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/088/b/4/_Gintama_Fanart_1__by_Chinchi_Commissions.jpg
The colour of the dog is of course Pikachu.
The sword is the Shikai form of Zangetsu, Ichigo's sword from Bleach.

From http://de.bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Datei:Zangetsu.png

but the sword in the picture has two stings and that sword only has one D:

well this can be perspective and since it's a fan-art it doesn't has to be 100% correct but considering all other animes represented in the picture, Bleach really fits

i know, but its so obvious what all of the other animes are, so why would bleach look different from what it should? maybe your right, but i just think if it was bleach the artist would have only put one string on the sword.

maybe only the gasp is from bleach and the 2 strings shall point to another anime, but i can't tell what this should be then

For the record, here are the rest of the references:

The color of the dog references Pikachu from Pokemon.

The guy's hair references Death the Kid from Soul Eater

The guy's face references Goku from Dragon Ball

The whiskers belong to Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto

The hat belongs to Luffy from One Piece

The scarf belongs to Natsu from Fairy Tail

The necklace belongs to Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!

The prosthetic arm, the torn shirt and the robe are references to Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist

The apple is probably a reference (?) to Ryuk from Death Note.

Can someone please enlighten me on where the red hexagons are from?

@Gao: My guess is that it's from Deadman Wonderland

+1. You forgot Totoro though, and what about the face to the left lower corner?

@PeterRaeves: There is also something on the upper right corner.

I think the sword is Dragonslayer, Guts' sword from Berserk.

All the characters mixed into the image are from shonen or "children" anime. Berserk on the other hand is a "grown up" seinen anime, which makes this rather unlikely :(

that sword isn't right either, look at the strings. there to short in this picture

Furthuremore, there's a part of the iron not covered, whereas it's not the case in the OP's photo.

@Scientifica it certainly looks like the top part of the iron is not covered in the OP's photo too

@SamIam You may be right. If so,  then the top part of the sword would be white, which isn't the case for Guts' sword.

@Scientifica That's up for debate.  The brighter parts of that mechanical arm are a very similar shade of "white"

@SamIam You're right! What a good sense of observation!

Hair: Soul Eater
Dog: Gintama (with Pikachu's colour)
Sword: Bleach
Background: Totoro
Body: Full Metal Alchemist
Scarf: Fairy Tail
Hat: One Piece
Pendant: Yu-Gi-Oh!

You might want to add some pictures of the original art to validate your claims.

half of this is the sword, and that sword is not a match for ichigo's sword in bleach.  The pommel is symmetrical and it's also not wrapped.

When was the Day of Severance?
We know that the Day of Severance had to have happened some time after Kureha was born. Indeed, it must have occurred sometime after Ginko and Kureha became friends (i.e. after they met on the snowy battlefield past the Door to Friendship), since they could not have become friends in the first place had Severance already occurred.
We also know that the Day of Severance happened before episode 1 of the show, because, of course, that's how the narrative begins in the first place. I'm pretty sure that Severance was also before Ginko and Lulu met.
Can we pinpoint when the Day of Severance happened any more accurately (relative to other events in the story)? In particular, it's not clear to me whether the Day of Severance was before or after the day on which Reia sent Ginko back across the Door to Friendship.
(Or maybe I've got this all wrong? In episode 11, the way Kureha's classmates harass her about her friendship with bear-Ginko [during a flashback] seems to suggest that the Day of Severance had already happened - so does that mean that the Day of Severance even precedes the day on which Kureha went across the Door to Friendship to fetch Kureha from the snowy battlefield?)

I believe the Day of Severance is the day Ginko is sent out into the battlefield . Before this, tensions were rising at each side of the Wall - The young bears were brainwashed into thinking fighting in this battle would gain Kumalia's love, And you can see the human's disdain for bears when Kureha is picked on as a child for being a 'bear-lover'.
The Wall of Severance was erected after the battle (hence the Day of Severance) to separate the two worlds.
There seems to be an oversight in the plot in regards to the Door of Friendship and when it was built, which is what I personally found confusing. It appears that the door of friendship was built prior to the day of severance, but only discovered in the midst of the battle. It does seem a little odd how this portal was overlooked for so long if it already existed, and what use it served without the wall in place.
Neither world seems to know much about the portal, it seems to be a only known about by Ginko, Kureha, Reia and Lulu. One theory is it could have been built by Kumalia, another is that it's a plothole.

If we take human girl = straight and bear = yuri, then it might make sense somewhat.

Need help in identifying movie with a boy who can turn into a tree, and a girl from centuries ago
I saw this movie within the past few years. It was an awesome movie but I can't for the life of me remember the name!
Here is what I remember:

A boy finds a girl sleeping in a glass pod underwater with thousands of others.
He takes her to his village to help her recover. His village is connected by bridges to a dangerous, carnivorous forest on one side, and an industrialized desert on the other side.
The boy's father is slowly becoming a tree.
It turns out that the girl is from the same civilization, the apocalypse destroyed much of the world, and the people of her city were preserved in pods underwater. She came back to life hundreds of years in the future to a low-tech society.
The people of her time used Ribbon (pronounced Ri-BONE) technology in much the same way we use Apple Watches and Google Glass. It's like a cross between a holographic smartphone and a necklace. Or bracelet(?) I forgot.
The girl and anyone else who has come back from that time, is viewed as dangerous and is killed by bounty hunters from outside the village. They collect their Ribbons as trophies, but the bounty hunters can't use them because the Ribbon is bound to its user.

Here, the story gets a little fuzzy:

The girl ends up riding on a train to the industrial desert city. She is valuable to them somehow.
The city has huge steampunk beasts used for war.
The boy and girl end up in a volcano base which has mechanical legs and can move.
The boy turns into a huge tree to help her escape the volcano.

I really, really liked this movie. Can you tell me what it is?

Origin: Spirits of the Past
I finally Googled "walking volcano anime" and found Origin: Spirits of the Past!

I kept Googling "ribbon phone", "ribon phone", and kept getting some other anime. I kept thinking it was Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, but the art styles were totally different. Maybe I thought it was a Miyazaki film because of the story's environmental message.

What are the options for watching Sgt. Frog / Keroro Gunso after episode 78, subtitled or dubbed, without resorting to unlicensed copies?
Funimation has released DVDs for Sgt. Frog covering episodes 1-78.  Everything I have read on-line leads me to believe Funimation will not be releasing any more episodes.
If those of us in the USA want to watch episodes 79-358 of this show subtitled in English (or dubbed, although I find that unlikely) what options are available?  I have seen a few DVDs with confusing titles like "Keroro Gunso 4th Season 6", but when they specify the region, it is region 2, and I don't think that will work in my home entertainment PC.
I am not interested in any answers relating to unlicensed copies or derivative works.

Is there any material relationship between "Pandora in the Crimson Shell" and "Ghost in the Shell"?
This season's Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn is a work created in part by Masamune Shirow - the same fellow behind Ghost in the Shell. Much to my chagrin, I haven't gotten around to watching Ghost in the Shell. But I do know bits and pieces about it, and there seem to be some surface-level similarities to Pandora in the Crimson Shell (which is airing right now, and which I'm watching).
Obviously, the title, for one (both in English and Japanese - Koukaku Kidoutai vs. Koukaku no Pandora); Pandora has "Gerzekoma" robots while Ghost has "Tachikoma" robots; and the whole focus on cybernetics and the line between humans and machines.
Do these surface-level similarities reflect any material relationship between the two? (e.g. is Pandora an alternate-universe to Ghost, or a "meanwhile, in this other part of the world" story, or something?) Or is it just that Masamune Shirow chose to write about similar themes in two otherwise unrelated manga?

Apparently there's a movie that came out in December 2015 and a series that just started airing and I could find only 3 episodes out to date.

From what I've seen it's happening a few decades before the events of GITS and might be the same universe. Everything concerning cyberization is there, in early stages of tech development.

If it really is a prequel to GitS then it's a really weird one given the massive differences in tone and style.

Seems to me that it's obvious The Major was a Mahou Shoujou in a previous life.

In a sense, yes, they are on the same universe with Ghost in the Shell: Arise, which is the prequel to the original Ghost in the Shell manga/movie.
The TVTropes's article (Warning, TVTropes link!) mentioned some background about it:

Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn (紅殻のパンドラ / Koukaku no Pandora) is a cyberpunk action comedy manga based on an unused concept of Masamune Shirow (designs of which would eventually be re-used in Ghost in the Shell: Arise).
(Emphasis mine)

Researching further on Japanese Wikipedia also mentioned about its relation/connection with Ghost in the Shell: Arise,

 Relation with Ghost in the Shell: Arise

 At the time when it was originally planned, the title was supposed to be Ghost Urn with its plot having the same background setting as Ghost in the Shell: Arise (GitS:Arise). In the original plot, Uzal Delilah (Sahar Schehera) who was supposed to be the same person with Dr. Zhinzhee Bekka Arr Thied who appeared in chapter 3 & 4 of GitS:Arise; Clarion, and BUER were supposed to appear in GitS:Arise. Moreover, GitS:Arise's character Kurtz was originally Ghost Urn's character, with Ian Kurtz as her equivalent character.

 The setting took place years after Uzal and their companion moved to Cenancle Island and were living there after the incident in GitS:Arise. The illustration of the original plot that appears at the end of its tankobon not only shows Kurtz, but also cyborgs who protect Dr. Thied, Nami Hozumi, and other characters who become the model for GitS:Arise's characters.

 However, Ghost Urn anime project was suspended due to various circumstances. When KADOKAWA restarted the project, this time with manga, the setting and characters were recomposed. In addition to that, the setting became pre-GitS:Arise, and characters who were supposed to be the same in both series were separated totally. Finally, the title was changed to Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn.

Are Ainz and his servants still leveling in the New World?
Are Ainz and his servants still leveling up the same way they were when they were killing monster to get exp in Yggdrasil?

Hmmm... To my understanding, Ainz and the high-tier minions (read those that are level 100) don't level up any further, as they are maximum level already. It's never mentioned that they 'get stronger' while others like the lizardmen and that weird hamster indeed do (the narrative comments several times that they are training to get stronger). Now, it is possible the New World has a higher level cap but insofar it hasn't been mentioned at all in the nine LN, the WNs nor the anime and manga.
So Ainz ain't levelling nor are the floor guardians, but some of his minions do.

Lvl 100 was maxed level in the game, but the New world has different laws and something from the game manifest differently.  This is because the new world isn't a game, but instead, an actual world that is trying to make sense of the game mechanics.
In the game, the minimum amount of experience a monster could give is 1 and also Ainz had 100% experience to level if the game allowed him to become level 101.
Ainz should have leveled already if he was gaining experience points, the only caveat is that what if the New world is giving humans or other monsters less experience.  For example, if the new world gives humans 0.001 experience then it could still be possible, but there isn't anything that suggests that Ainz can level.
Last note, the author himself said Ainz is maxed level and he won't be able to level.
Reference to the translation, which has a reference to the original.
https://www.reddit.com/r/overlord/comments/6fcxi6/kugane_maruyama_interview_kono_light_novel_ga/

With regards to the Denizens of Nazerick leveling it's hard to tell. Obviously as the author has said, the level 100 characters have reached their level cap and are subsequently unable to level.
The more interesting question is wether the sub-lvl.100 characters are able to level (i.e. the Pleiades and the area-guardians). It is difficult to be sure wether or not these characters are able to level since we don't often see through their perspective and they (with the exception of Narberal) haven't had a lot of combat experience yet.
We know that Players from Yggdrasil can level as evidenced by the strongest of the "13 Heros," who came to the New World between lvl.10-20, started out as the weakest of the heros, and ended as the strongest of them. We can also be fairly confident that the New World Natives can level (albeit, likely with a racial/personal level cap, as evidenced by the fact that the Godkin are technically a different race and are much stronger than normal humans), due to the existence of Adventurers, humans who, through combat, have become stronger than the average human. Also the Nazerick trainees, (i.e. the Lizardmen and Hamusuke, since it's been stated that they're getting stronger)
The real question is wether or not the NPCs can level. There isn't a lot of info on it, but I'm fairly certain that NPCs were not able to level naturally in Yggdrasil, if that carried over into the New World then whatever level they were when they transitioned from Yggdrasil is effectively their level cap. It's difficult to say wether or not this is the case even if they could grow to lvl.100. As I mentioned earlier the Denizens of Nazerick haven't really had any challenging battles so far and they haven't been doing any leveling/grinding, which at their levels and considering the relative weakness of the New World, they would need to do quite a bit of in order to see any real results.
Personally I don't think that any of the original Denizens of Nazerick can level in the New World. However, that does leave one avenue for them to still get stronger, that being Martial Arts and new Spells.
Though leveling up does provide a stat boost, it appears that one of the primary ways it increased players strength back in Yggdrasil, especially at higher levels, was through the gaining and improving of skills/magic. If Ainz and the Denizens of Nazerick are able to learn new Spells and/or Martial Arts it could provide a lot of room for growth, especially at their levels, considering that most of these abilities seem to scale with the user's strength. Though frustratingly there hasn't been any development on that front because none of them are actually attempting to learn anything new (mostly because they're all already strong enough to whup just about anybody's ass in the New World) The closest they get is the Death Knight training with Hamusuke, who is a created undead, so who knows if he even counts?
The closest we get to a confirmation or denial is shortly after Nazerick arrives in the New World. Ainz tries to get one of the maids (a homunculus maid, not one of the Pleiades) to cook a steak, like, three times and the maid fails in the same way each time. If I remember correctly, because of this Ainz assumes that the NPCs can't learn new skills. However this was still while New-Nazerick was in its infancy and the NPCs were just getting used to the New World and its freedoms. It could be that the issue with the maid was one of mindset. I don't belive the LN provides any details on how the steak was cooked, but there's a chance that the maid, being used to Yggdrasil where without a skill in something one could not do that thing, and being entirely new to cooking, didn't know what was going wrong and just did the exact same thing all three times. If she had been instructed on how to cook and had had some more practice, maybe she could have learned.
Though this is all just a bunch of speculation. Even if the Denizens of Nazerick can learn new skills, there likely won't be any effort/development put forward in that department until/if they encounter an enemy who is stronger than they are, (maybe another guild will transfer over from Yggdrasil or something) which definitelywon't be happening in the story for some time yet.

I was reading the books and Ainz is clearly saying he should have leveled up but didn't feel anything different so he concludes he can't level up. But I think he is wrong. He is a better fighter and he is doing things no spell caster would be able to do. Meaning he has obtained some fighter levels.
At smaller "levels" it is easy to see an increase in power but when you have 100 "levels" getting 1 more is not so evident. Also I think that in the new world there is no fix levels. In games you only get skills when you level up but now I think you learn the skill step by step for example at the middle of you leveling from lv2 to lv3 you can do the skill that you gain at lv3 but not as good.
There is an example that goes against this when Neia Baraja uses divine power for her archery it seems like an instant gain unlike Hamsuke constant training and step by step level up.
Of course a reason he would be able to be better at fighting but not level up could be because he is getting used to his powers and learning how the world works. Also gaining power from flavor text with no mechanical gain in game but true now. If that is true  then it would look like leveling but only discovering his powers.

Are the Chuunibyou light novels still going?
A thing that I'd like to know is whether or not the series of light novels for Chuunibyou has ended. Has anyone read the third volume?

Are you asking for whether an official announcement has been made?

According to Wikipedia it was March 14th, 2014 that the third volume was released in japan and the official site only lists 3 volumes while the last news post was on the 27th of March 2014 and google translate doesn't reveal anything about anything happening to the author or a statement that it had been cancled

I'm asking wether an official announcement was made or the third volume's conclussion was a definitive one (ie. it seems everything is said and done)

@VicentMartínBonet The LNs are ongoing, with no indication that the series has been canceled. I presume this means that volume 3 does not constitute a definitive ending for the series. But I haven't actually read the LNs, so I don't really know what's in volume 3. (I mean, I could translate the blurb on Japanese Wikipedia, but it doesn't say anything about Yuuta and Rikka getting married and living happily ever after or anything else similarly conclusive.)

Oh thanks. Guess I'll try and find someone who can read me the translation and see for myself.

I've been reading some speculations (in Japanese: 1,
2) that the 4th volume might not come out. Basically, they said that there was dispute between the author and the publisher, the differences between the anime, light novel and game might confuse people, and the illustrator for the LN has left the company. This doesn't mean that it won't have 4th volume since there's no official statement about it, though. (3 years between 2nd and 3rd vol.)

What is the music playing in episode 14, when Gowther was talking about the cycles in the cave?
I'm looking for a piece of music in Seven Deadly Sins that plays at 5:15 of episode 14, when Gowther explains about the life cycle to the armor beast.

The track is called PT-16: Taizai and is from The Seven Deadly Sins Original Soundtrack 2.
It is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.
The track can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_D-Ob908LU
Note that the part that appears in episode 14 starts at around 1:06 on that track.

I think the track is titled "PT-9: Zai" or "PT-9: Tsumi", not "PT-16: Taizai" (judging from the album booklet). Album on VGMDB: http://vgmdb.net/album/50415

I believe that PT-9 is a different track, PT-16 is track 23 in that album, and I am sure that it is the same as the track used in the mentioned episode.

My mistake; I think I confused the track number for the number in the title or something. Good answer!

Anime about a boy who collects memory fragments so that princess will remember him
It's about a boy who falls in love with a princess who makes a deal to save her life she must lose all memory of him. He has to go and collect memory fragments in the form of feathers and each one she remembers more.

I think I might have found it:
Tsubasa Chronicle

Synopsis (taken from the site itself)
During an excavation at the mysterious ruins in Clow Country, Syaoran
  discovers his childhood friend Princess Sakura appear on the site with
  wings that disperse into many feathers. As the feather's disappear to
  different dimensions, so does Sakura's memory. In attempts to save
  Sakura's life and restore her memory, Syaoran travels through to
  another world to find a solution. There's only one thing left he can
  do. Travel through to different dimensions to collect Sakura's
  feathers. Helping out with the quest is Kurogane, an exiled ninja from
  Japan Country who wishes to return to his world, the runaway magician,
  Fay, who desires to jump between each world never to return to his own
  and the white meat-bun shaped creature, Mokona.

I think it fits the bill almost perfectly. As the synopsis points out, he falls in love with Princess Sakura, who loses her wings and are dispersed into many feathers which go to several worlds/dimensions, all of this causing her to lose her memory. It fails to mention anything about the deal, but as for everything else, I believe it's a dead giveaway.

It probably would be good to quote a summary of the series and how it matches by taking examples from the series you mention

It would be helpful to illustrate why you think this is the answer.

@Tyhja yes sir!

This image may confirm it. From chapter 2.

description fits. i think all that's lacking is for the OP to add "CLAMP all stars" to the question xD

Anime about a boy getting chased through a school?
This is what I do remember about it:

I saw it either in 2013/2014 on either Anime Network or Funimation Channel.

It was a free preview episode.

I remember the main character was a guy, and he was fighting/running his way through a corridor that I think was part of a school/academy.

The building was brick or stone I think.

I'm not sure, but he may have been pulled to the school from another world/dimension.
The guy was being chased by different groups of people, and they were all trying to fight him, but I can't remember if they had magic or just weapons.
I'm pretty sure most of the characters were male.
I remember there was a tall, strong man type guy in one group.
The main character runs into a pretty boy type in an outside garden area.
For some reason, all of the characters had to fight each other or had to fight the main character.
The people chasing the main character were in groups of 3 or 4.

I don't remember much about the plot, only what I saw.  Any help would be appreciated. ^-^

I think the anime you are looking for is Magical Warfare, the events you described are from the first episode.
The strong man is Takao Oigami

The pretty boy should be Kazumi Ida

Takeshi Nanase is an ordinary high school boy who has a somewhat dark past. However, one day, he comes across a girl named Mui Aiba, in a uniform he has never seen before, collapsed on the school campus. This encounter changes Takeshi's destiny completely. Mui tells Takeshi that she is a magician, and she apologizes, for she turned Takeshi into a magician, too. What Takeshi once knew as one world is actually two — the world where magicians live and the world where humans live.

I'm pretty sure the pretty boy was blond, but I could be mistaken as the red head looks familiar.  I'll check this out and see if this is it.  Thank you!

@foxmom85 I have altered the answer to show the other pretty boy.

What is the name of this action anime involving magic that I had watched about a couple of years ago?
I don't remember anything but this one scene.
There is a shrine or temple and someone is carrying boxes. They trip or something and these beads fall out. The beads do something that makes the character crazy and not too far off is a couple people reading under a tree. Then a fight breaks out.
The Shrine/Temple was not the main setting of the anime and one of the people under the tree was maybe a little girl.
I believe the person carrying the boxes was a girl with purple hair and the beads were some type of jewellery. I think they were absorbed making her angry or jealous to the point of fighting someone at/near the tree.
I want to say it was a fantasy type setting but I don't remember monsters or such however there is more fighting with magic or magic like abilities.
I watched it only a few years back maybe like 2013, but I'm not certain though it had a "newer" art style.

I'm sure you can at least remember approximately when you last saw it any maybe what one of the characters looked like.

The anime you are looking for is Kannagi, the events you described are from episode 2. The purple-haired girl is either Nagi or her sister.

Our unlucky protagonist, Jin, uses the trunk of a sacred tree to carve a statue for a school project. When he takes it outside, to his surprise it begins absorbing the surrounding earth and transforms into, hold your breath on this one, a girl! So like all similar setups this guardian deity is pretty pissed that her tree was cut down and lives with Jin while she takes out her anger on squashing bugs....er, cleaning the "Impurities."

What is the name of this manga which is featured in the credits page of a manga scanlated by Serenus Dreamers?

I am looking for the manga in this picture. I already know it is not 7th Period is a Secret, it's just a credits page in this series, but I can't seem to find the manga where the image originally comes from.
The credits page comes from a scanlator group called Serenus Dreamers roughly a year ago. I went looking for it as I recall reading it at least 7 years ago.
It's about a beautiful girl with long black hair and short bangs, and a guy with light hair. I think they met on vacation in an ice ski resort and fall in love as they meet. The artwork is extremely beautiful, close to Miyasaka Kaho's work but it isn't one of her works.

I believe that the manga you are looking for is Kiss And Never Cry.

The Scanlator is Serenus Dreamers
The Story is - Michiru is a happy child who loves to skate.
During her childhood, she meets Leon, a cute innocent boy. They begin
to ice dance together. But as she has a conflict with her mom, she
plans to run away with Leon. Leon, considering the danger, declines
Michiru. Hurt by this, Michiru runs away by herself. Finding out that
Michiru has run away, Leon and others search for her, finding her in
the skating rink. But the Michiru they find standing in the rink no
longer has the smile that the old Michiru had!?
The Credits Page is -

It's the only manga scanlated by Serenus Dreamers with Ice Sports in it.

What do these lines mean in manga?

They are always seen when in an action sequence. Why do mangakas draw these kinds of lines and what do they mean?

The term you're looking for is (generically) "speed lines". Unsurprisingly, they are typically as a visual indicator that something is speedy.
The terminology is a little silly, though - the horizontal, fixed-width lines in your first image are clearly used for different purposes from the vanishing-point-oriented, variable-width lines in your second image, and bucketing them all as "speed lines" is a bit inaccurate.
As it turns out, Japanese has better terminology for these lines. There is a broader term 効果線 "effect lines" that subsumes both スピード線 "speed lines" (your first image) and 集中線 "focus lines" (your second image), as well as some other rarer styles of line. This is a more appropriate choice of words, in my opinion: the "focus lines", unlike the lines in your first image, are used to draw focus to whatever is "at" the vanishing point of the lines.
(This visual language seems fairly intuitive and universal to me, so I'm a little surprised that you had this question - not that there's anything wrong with that.)

The top drawing shows when a character is moving fast (such as running or hitting something with power) The lines show the direction the movement is happening. The lower drawing shows that this is a very important piece of information or that the character is at an intense state of emotion: such as if the character finds out that his/her friend is a mass murderer.

The left drawing looks like it is showing something happening at speed, for example if you were to put a character there in front of those horizontal lines, you'd get the impression that that character is moving at speed, e.g. like running.
The one on the right has the effect of focusing the reader on a particular aspect of that drawing square, and it's use can hugely vary. It can also be used to reveal something surprising by putting an object/character between those exiting lines.

In the visual novel of Clannad, how many after stories are there?
I've just finished reading Clannad.
While I was browsing for another visual novel to read, I saw the Tomoyo After (after story of Tomoyo's route) visual novel.
Now I'm wondering whether maybe the other heroines also have an after story but they have different titles.

related: http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/7714/how-many-ending-does-clannad-have-in-visual-novel

Tomoyo is the only one who has a separate visual novel.
In general, whenever you have questions about how visual novels are interrelated, a good first stop is the VN's relationship diagram on VNDB - here's the one for Clannad.
You'll notice in this case that there appear to be other related VNs like "Kyou After" and "Clannad: Lost Winter", but note that those are indicated by dotted arrows on the diagram. This indicates that the relationship is "unofficial", which typically means that one of the two things linked by the arrow is a fan-produced work.

Help me find an old anime film
Can you help me find the name of an anime film? I do not remember very much about it but here is what I recall:

It's a movie not a TV-show.
It's probably in the genre of horror because it includes monsters, blood and maybe some people dying.
It was made before 2005.
There is a boy who lives in a cave in the mountains with an old lady and he decides to go to the city (I don't know why).
A girl is run over by a bus and her blood is everywhere, but somehow she is not dead (like it was only a vision or time went backwards).
The girl has an older brother and I think they are orphans.
There is a young girl with three eyes.
There is a very large monster that resembles Ryuk from Death Note and maybe a bird monster.

The anime you're looking for is 3x3 eyes

3X3 Eyes is the story of a young man named Yakumo Fuuji, who through a strange series of events becomes the immortal slave of the last of a race of 3 Eyed immortals. The immortal absorbs his soul to save his life, making him immortal in the process. Now, he begins a journey with the female immortal in an attempt to find a way of becoming human. Of course, there are many complications along the way, not the least of which being that the immortal is a female with a split personality, one achingly cute and the other being no-nonsense destructive power, and the romances that develop between.

The anime satisfies all of the points you mentioned except for

It is a movie not a TV-show

I think you may have mistaken it for a movie. It's an OVA collection of 4 episodes having a sequel of 3 another OVA episodes.
The boy is Yakumo Fujii, the three eyed girl is Pai Sanjiyan and the large monster is Benares

Old Anime (similar to Pokemon) that involved going to different places (/times?) and capturing monsters in their eggs?
I've been trying to find the name of this show for YEARS. I watched it every day when I was young (around 10 years ago now). I'm pretty sure it was on Channel 5 (for all you English people) in the early morning since I would watch it before school.
All I can remember is that there was a group of kids and they'd travel to different places (maybe times too?) and would have to capture some kind of monster (similar to Pokemon/Digimon) that was causing havoc. Each monster I believe was recaptured in an egg (each egg was also unique) and there was usually just one per episode. There may have been some kind of scientist involved with a machine that sent them to these places? But my memories may just be getting confused with Pokemon at that point.
I know it wasn't Monster Rancher as I've had suggested by friends but beyond that I've no clue.
Any ideas? I really loved it and it would be amazing to rediscover it after all these years.

Are you sure it's not digimon ? Digimon Data Squad also recapture bad digimon in egg form.

Digimon is the first thing that came to my mind as well.

It sounds like Flint the Time Detective

It is the 25th century. The dark lord has 'infected' history with time-devices that could damage history beyond repair. Flint and his father lived in the prehistorics when they got turned into fossiles. They are discovered and Flint ges turned back to his original state. With the help of his father, a boy Tony and a girl Sara he has to travel trough time to bring the time-devices back to the land of time so history will be saved.

In particular there are creatures called time-shifters that can assume different forms, among which there is an egg-like form (monster egg).

Who is this ghost from episode 8 of Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou?
Episode 8 of Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou features this ghostly character, who is not addressed by name during the episode:

Who is this supposed to be?
From reading the cast credits, I see that this person's name is probably フリーダ ("Frieda"?). Should I know who that is from having watched the anime (not Chuugakkou; the main one, which culminates with the female titan arc)? If not, please please please use spoiler tags - I've been religiously avoiding spoilers for the show for three years now in anticipation of season two, and would rather not break my streak.

You are absolutely right, that is Frieda Reiss, they even said that was Historia's sister in the show so I do not think you can consider it being spoilers anymore the moment you watched that episode. Yes, you would only know who she is if you read further in the manga until where they tried to get Eren to learn hardening.
Frieda is

The holder of the Coordinate ability before Grisha Yeager and Eren Yeager. She held the ability until Grisha ate her in order to pass the ability onto Eren. After receiving the Coordinate, her personality changed. Due to being a Reiss, she fell under the will of the First King. She suffered from depression and sometimes her behavior changed from her regular self to another much more aggressive. She also thought that humans were all sinners who deserved a punishment.

What Historia said here was "Watashi, okiku nata ra, Onee-chan mitai ni nareru kana?", clearly referencing to the manga's later chapters already at this point by saying that "When I grow up, can I be like you, Older Sister?".

What is the name of this manga with a girl pretending to be a mermaid?
So a couple years ago I was read this manga, then I finished, because it was an incomplete series, but then I lost it.
Basically, what I remember is that there was this girl who wanted to join the army after she finished school to help support her mother, and she meets this very weird girl who thinks she is a mermaid and constantly drinks water out of a huge bottle. The girl has weird marks and bruises on her skin, but she brushes is off as "mermaid burns" or something else.
Then, a celebrity comes to the town, who was super famous and the army girl liked him a little bit. Some stuff happens, and then in the end, it turns out that the celebrity was the "mermaid girls" father and he was abusing her. The series finished after that.
Please help, it was a very sad manga!

Please be more specific, as in how many years ago (eg. 5, 10 years ago). If possible, please give a description of the characters's appearances, it helps a lot in our search.

What was the art style? Can you attach a picture of a manga that uses a similar style?

@AstralSea I think the army-aspiring girl was blonde and the mermaid girl had dark short hair.

@Tamz_m I don't remember the art style. I read the manga on my old laptop so I don't have any screenshots I might have made.

@AstralSea also I read it about 2012-2013 ish. End of 2012 definitely.

The manga you are looking for is:
Satou Kashi no Dangan wa Uchinukenai
(Sugar Candy Bullets Can’t Pierce Anything).

The following summaries are included on the website:

When a strange new girl by the name of Umino Mokuzu transfers in from
  Tokyo and declares that she is a "Mermaid", she quickly becomes the
  center of attention. Noticing that Nagisa is the only classmate that
  seems to have no interest in her, Umino quickly decides that they
  should become "precious friends". Despite Nagisa's objections, Umino
  begins to follow her wherever she goes.

and

Umino's rockstar father is shown to be aloof towards her at best and
  emotionally abusive at worst, once leaving her behind in a grocery
  store parking lot simply because a defective shopping cart made him
  angry and that's only the tip of the iceberg.

An old anime with a red haired female main character and a guy with an invisible sword
This is an old anime where the main character is a girl with red hair.

She is able to use fire but quite clumsily I think
Her sidekick is a blonde guy who uses an invisible sword
They were collecting some crystal balls or runes that can be put into a sword to manifest the power
The setting is in the middle ages?
They usually wear black armor with the girl wearing a red shirt underneath and the guy a blue shirt

Sorry if it's very vague, I can't remember much
thanks

It could be Slayers (1995 anime series)

Lina Inverse, a wandering sorceress and bandit-killer, joins forces with roving swordsman Gourry Gabriev in what's supposed to be a quick union of convenience. Instead, an artifact Lina "liberated" from a gang of thieves turns out to be the key to the resurrection of the demon lord Shabranigdo. Urged on by the mysterious Red Priest Rezo, the pair has no choice but to fight the dark lord and his servants, accumulating new allies and enemies along the way.

The red haired girl could be Lina Inverse who is a sorceress, while the blonde guy could be Gourry Gabriev a wandering swordsman, wielding his family's magical blade, the Sword of Light.

Where did the "Not this shit again" bad sub meme originate from?
I have been seeing this meme all over the internet. Guessing from most of the Q&As I have found, this seems to be edited in. If so, what was the original verse and why did it get twisted in this way?

only general "bad subtitles" trvtropes entries exist, no exact match of this phrase on it

@HakashinouShinonouko Are you saying that the phrase was made up and the line didnt exist in this scene? If so, where is this scene from?

I'm saying I didn't find it on tvtropes and it's the place for memes to be, which you didn't say you searched.

@HakashinouShinonouko Ahh sorry, I misinterpreted you. Indeed I did not check there.

The screencap itself comes from the second OP of R2.

2nd OP from 2nd season? I couldn't find this scene there. actually, I couldn't find this scene in any of the openings. But I really might be doing this wrong. XD

At about 21:00 in Season 2 Episode 20, there's the same scene:

The plot:

On the platform of the Sword of Akasha in the World of C, Charles zi Britannia is looking at the pillar-like object, telling the god that it's the time to finish everything. Lelouch then walks in saying that Charles is wrong.

I don't think the sub is related to the plot, but there may be one explanation:
"Not this shit again" might be one of Charles' inner thoughts when Lelouch walks in and interrupts him.

Unknown song from Gakkou Gurashi
There is background music in several Gakkou Gurashi episodes that I can't find no matter how hard I look for them.
It's a very peaceful song, no vocals, that's played with a synthesizer at first and plays into a guitar. It's present usually when the group or character is discussing something peacefully, or in the quiet before the storm in the later episodes.
The most notable placement I can think of is Episode 3 when Megu-Nee is getting ready for the day. It starts around when she opens her message box on her phone, and ends right before the scene ends when she checks her watch.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd be extremely grateful.

I was looking for the same track as you when I heard it on air! The music was composed by MOSAIC.WAV and the OST was finally released a few weeks ago.
The track you're looking for is no. 15: 優しいめぐねえありがとう (Yasashii Megu-nee Arigatou)
There are a few other tracks I wish made it on, but they're going to release a 2nd volume on November 26.

How well did the Sky Wizards Academy BD/DVD sell in Japan?
Can you tell me how many Sky Wizards Academy BD/DVDs were sold in Japan? I kinda liked this series and want to know if it will get a season 2.

The last volume (#6) doesn't go on sale until Feb 26, 2016, so you won't have good sales figures available until a couple weeks after that.

I've undeleted this and am leaving a comment to that effect to protect this post from the roomba. I'd post an answer to this question as-is, but it seemed a bit improprietous to mod-undelete and answer right away, so I'll let it sit a few days.

@senshin:  If you know the answer, I don't have any personal qualms with you answering it, especially since it was originally deleted by the roomba, and it can be answered in 2016 (and beyond).

If anyone knows the answer then plz answer it.

What is this manga about a male high schooler who just ridiculously excels at everything?
I used to follow a manga with the main character a first year high school student who just ridiculously excels at everything, and I mean everything. From math to frog jump and handling bullies.
The character is tall with tidy short hair in formal style (like Sanji but black, no bangs and tidier). He wears glasses that he tends to fix gracefully or stylishly like how smart people usually are portrayed in manga, always dresses very neatly, and can run very fast and possibly almost fly. He doesn't talk much unless necessary, and he shows his thoughts through direct actions which most of the time are unpredictable.
The last part that I remember is that he was treated to be a servant by a bully gang leader of the upper year, but he was serving the bully too well, that the bully ended up looking up to him.

Sounds like you could be talking about Sakamoto desu ga?. Here's the blurb from MAL:

First year high school student Sakamoto isn't just cool, he's the coolest! Almost immediately after starting school, he began attracting everyone's attention. The girls love him, and most of the boys resent him. There's even a boy in the class who works as a model, but who is constantly upstaged by Sakamoto! No matter what tricks the other boys try to play on him, Sakamoto always manages to foil them with ease and grace. Though Sakamoto may seem cool and aloof, he helps others when asked, such as in the case of the boy in his class who was being constantly bullied. No matter what difficulties Sakamoto encounters, he moves through his high school life with confidence and class!

Kyaaaaa! That's right! I just remembered. Thank you...

Don't forget you can mark this answer as accepted if it was what you were looking for (it's not a requirement at all, and you can choose not to do it, just a way of indicating to the rest of the community that you think your question has been answered).

@JNat, Btw, is this anime worth watching? How would you rank it against the other animes?

@Pacerier This is a manga, and has no anime adaptation. Nevertheless, I like it — go have a look at its reviews on MAL and see for yourself.

Do the runes appear in-universe?
So we know what the runes translate to in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Since the runes appear all over the place like on walls and when a witch appears, the Puella Magi must be aware of the runes, which are also on their rings as their names (see the images which show their rings).
I am wondering, in-universe, what are the runes? Are they magical, thus making up a runic magic system? Are they the native language of the Incubators? Or are they something else entirely?

I can attest that none of Oriko / Kazumi / TDS / Rebellion nor the original Hanokage manga address the question of what the in-universe nature of the runes is. There could be something in Tart / Suzune / Sadness Prayer / Majuu-hen, though; I haven't kept up with those. (Or in production materials/interviews and so forth, too, of course.)

What is the name of the anime with the little rude monkey with the golden diadem

I have been searching for forever to find the name of a anime series/ movie that I saw more than 20 years ago. Here goes nothing!
The series/ movie is about a little boy monkey (kind of like the monchichi monkeys) with brown fur. He is very rude and I remember that nobody likes him except for a little female monkey with white fur. Then there is this old wise monkey that puts a golden diadem on the head of the rude little monkey to teach him a lesson in humbleness and kindness. He is also put in some kind of (tree)cage. The female monkey keeps visiting him and keeps bringing him food, even when it starts to snow. He tells her to stay away, even though he kind of likes her, because he doesn't want her to go through all this trouble for him. At the end of the series/movie the little monkey is now more humble and nice to everybody and the golden diadem is removed from his head.
The picture above is how I picture the old wise monkey, but this picture could be from another series/movie.
I also remember that there was another character. He was more human, like a tiny childlike demon-boy with a horn on his head. At one point he was riding a horse, but not on the back of the horse, but upside down on the belly of the horse. At the end of the series/movie, this character also became more "good". I don't remember if there were human characters involved in the series/movie.
Ok this sounds like a weird kind of shroomtrip, but this is all I can remember. I really hope that someone recognizes some of this stuff and can give me more information about it! Thanks a million in advance!

The character resembles Sun Wukong from Journey to the West story. I know there are several Chinese cartoons about it. This is only a speculation because not all of them fit with what you wrote.
1. The picture in question
That character resembles Sun Wukong from an old Chinese cartoon I watched in the early 80's. See the similarity in his face, hat and yellow cloth (not the red robe) in the first picture. See also the golden diadem in the second picture. The diadem is given by Goddess Guanyin so Sanzang can punish Wukong whenever Wukong disobeys him. There are 3 OVAs that I know, but the story is quite different from what you wrote.
The first OVA is Havoc in Heaven (大闹天宫) which was released in 1961. It tells the origin of Sun Wukong and his rebellion against the Jade Emperor of Heaven. It ends when Sun Wukong destroy the Jade Emperor's palace and the Jade Emperor flees from the palace.
The second OVA is Ginseng Fruit (人参果) which was released in 1981. Wukong stole some fruit and angered the tree owner.

2. The horse scene
The last OVA is Monkey King Subdued the Evil (金猴降妖) which was released in 1985, there's a scene where a demoness disguised as a kid tries to kidnap Wukong's master. The kid's hair style looks like horns. The kid and Wukong's master ride a horse and Wukong grabs the horse from below. See the pictures below. You can also watched the scene in Youtube. Skip into 24:45.

3. The female monkey and old monkey
This is from the TV series which was released in 1998 by CCTV. It consists of 52 episodes. Wukong saves a female monkey after he's born from the holy rock in episode 1.

The elder monkey tells a legend that whoever can complete the challenge will become the monkey king. Wukong completes the challenge and become the monkey king.

4. The snow scene
After completing the challenge, Wukong wants to become a disciple of Master Puti. Master Puti didn't welcome him at first. So Wukong sit at the door for days. Even when it's raining and snowing, he still sits at the door. Finally Master Puti is moved by his dedication and teaches him 2 sacred arts, the Somersault Cloud and 72 Transformations. This scene is still in episode 1.

5. Trapped
After causing havoc in heaven, he was punished by the Buddha. He was imprisoned under a mountain and sealed by a paper talisman. Later Sanzang released him and made him his disciple.

6. Mismatch/contradiction
a. The diadem is not given by the old monkey. I suspect there is another story after Sun Wukong finished his journey and was granted Buddhahood. In your picture, he wears a Buddhist robe, does wear his golden diadem, sits in lotus position on a Padmasana (lotus throne) are what made me think of this. But this is just a speculation.
b. The female monkey is not a love interest.
c. He's imprisoned under a mountain, not a cage nor a tree. The is no one who visits and gives him food.
d. The child demon with horn story doesn't match.

while there are similiarities in the main character, the other characters are far removed from the details described in the post. Sun Wukong has no love interest and the being that puts the "diadem" on Wukong's head is not an old monkey.

The right movie/series was not in the answer, but thanks to your information I got a lead on the movie I was looking for!! I put some pictures of the movie below. One with the main character, one with the main character and the female monkey, and one with the little horned demon kid. Thank you so much for the lead!!!
The movie is called Alakazam the great, It is a 1960 Japanese musical anime film, based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West, and was one of the earliest anime films to be released in the United States.(wikipedia)
Plot:
Alakazam is a young and brave monkey (a macaque) who has been encouraged by all the other monkeys to become their king. After attaining the throne, he becomes rude and dictatorial, and does not believe that human beings are greater than he is. Then he tricks/forces Merlin the magician to teach him magic (reluctantly on Merlin's part, who warns Alakazam that the powers he acquires now will bring him much unhappiness later).
Alakazam becomes so arrogant that he abuses his magic powers, and chooses to go up to Majutsu Land (the Heavens), to challenge King Amo. He is defeated by King Amo. For his punishment, he is sentenced to serve as the bodyguard of Prince Amat on a pilgrimage; in order to learn humility, mercy and to fight with wisdom. Ultimately, he learns his lesson and becomes a true hero.

Which characters survive and make it to UQ Holder?
I wanted to know all the characters from Negima that are still alive and are in UQ Holder. I saw a few such as Ku Fei, Yue, and some cat lady that followed Fate.

The cat lady is probably Koyomi, although I haven't read past Chapter 1 of UQ Holder.

You forget to mention Evangeline&Fate, they are some mayor characters in both series, and introduced fairly early on

@ton.yeung Indeed, and in some of the most recent chapters one such character has reappeared.  Not resurrected in a literal sense, but brought into the story suitably aged.  I've edited that into my answer as a spoiler.

Ku Fei and Yue are not known to be alive during the time of UQ Holder.  What you are referring to is a flashback scene regarding a tournament that the main characters are now training for.  It shows that Yue and Ku Fei competed as a duo in a previous running of the tournament, some time after Negima but, by their appearances, long before UQ Holder.
Evangeline is alive, and serves as one of the driving foci of UQ Holder.  She's not quite a main character, but she is a major character that motivates the primary main character.
Fate Averruncus is alive, and currently serves as the primary main character's antagonistic rival.  He does not appear to be an active villain; the main character just wants to be stronger than him.
The cat girl you reference may be related to Koyomi, as suggested by Torisuda.  Their personalities don't seem to match, so she may be a descendant of Koyomi, or simply another member of the same race of demi-humans.  Maybe Fate just likes cat girls, or it's a bit of nostalgia, or it's a coincidence, or any number of things.  She hasn't been a significant enough character to be sure.
Also alive is Mana Tatsumiya, the half-demon gun user.  She is the one that introduces the main characters to the aforementioned tournament.  Since Mana does not appear to have aged significantly, one assumes that other half and full demon characters, such as Zazie, are also alive, but they have not appeared or been specifically referenced.

 Negi himself is confirmed as "alive".  We don't know his exact state, but he is in some state of needing help/rescue, but not one that is especially time sensitive.  This state is what drove Fate into an initial villain role, but eventually they held him off long enough for the protagonists to learn his aims and to negotiate a cease fire of sorts.  Since Fate's goal was not especially time sensitive, he did not actually need to press it as strongly as he could have.

No other characters from Negima! have made confirmed appearances.  We can conjecture a couple more, at least, in addition to demons such as Zazie.  Many fans think that UQ Holder occurs during the timeline where Asuna had not come back: if so, she is "alive", in the sense that she is serving whatever purpose it is that had her separated from the world for so long.  Asuna's lineage was also stated to be an exceptionally long-lived one; she was already quite old, technically speaking, when Nagi encountered her.  When Asuna did finally finish her task, she found out that her best friend Ayaka had lived well past 100, in hopes of meeting Asuna again.  Since UQ Holder is set approximately 80 years after the end of Negima, it is plausible that she is alive.
And we can get a little bit meta: UQ Holder is a society of immortals, several of which we know are well over one hundred years old.  Thus, though they may never have appeared in Negima, technically speaking they were alive during the course of its events.

EDIT (9/25/2015)

 At the end of chapter 95 we see an elderly Ayaka make an appearance, showing off her pactio card, and accompanied by her (presumed) granddaughter, as well someone who appears to be Chachamaru.  The fact that her pactio card is still functional tells us that Negi is in some sense alive.  This is in much the same way that we knew that Rakan's functioning pactio card meant that Nagi was alive.  We also see the granddaughters of Konoka Konoe.  I'd guess they are less than 10 years old, and they can recall stories of their grandmother about Negi, so it is possible that Konoka is also alive, or only recently deceased.  They specifically wonder why Tota shares their last name, which possibly foreshadows that we will learn about this, and that it is not simply a coincidence.

EDIT (2/16/2016)

 In Chapter 112, we see two more characters, both of which are immortal or have long lifespans: Sayo Aisaka, the ghost girl; and the demon Zazie Rainyday (in full jester get-up).  We also basically get full confirmation that Negi really is alive.  It is also confirmed that the Chachamaru-like character accompanying Ayaka (see the preceding spoiler) is, in fact, Chachamaru.

I was confused by the wording of the OP and the fact that I haven't read past Chapter 1. The wiki page I linked says nothing at all about references to Koyomi in UQ Holder, so we probably should assume it's some unrelated cat girl who's just functioning as a spiritual descendant of Koyomi to give Fate a consistent "theme".

I would just like to say it's also possible for some of the "regulars" to have become immortal along the lines as Negi and Eva had become, or even from Eva biting them (or others like this, not just vamps aka peeps like Kotarou might have made what's her name the girl, he stays with the younger and hey, maybe even the older one into weredogs/werewolves).
Heck, to get meta, other than the class rep, we don't know if any others even aged. I hope they didn't. I am re-reading the first series after years and I'm getting depressed that most of them aged or died, so I hope since it's too late for the class rep, at least the others especially Nodoka, Yue, Asakura, Setsuna (well, she's like what's her name so she's probably immortal), Makie, the twins. Well, pretty much all, but if not at least, the ones more important if he had to, he could make the ones like the food girl that's nice and a little chubby, no offense, but yeah, not a very important character.
But hey, so to answer I will refer to them by descriptions sometimes, and "probably" mean they haven't made an appearance or I don't remember, but, well yeah, probably, but those who are for sure alive are: class rep, Kaede, Eva, Asuna, the ghost probably she didn't move on yet, probably the twins, probably Chao, Chachamaru or the robot, probably Zazie, almost for sure Setsuna, and well frankly, if the class rep who is one of the oldest is still alive, then probably is everyone else.

This answer is very hard to read. Can you split it into paragraphs and write more concisely? Also, can you explain your reasoning for why you think these characters are still alive?

Copyedit as best as I could, but possibly need further rewording to remove the excessive fluff/interjections.

Who has the head as of episode 2 of Durarara!!×2 Ten?
In the conversation between Seiji and ultra-stalker Mika at the end of episode 2 of Durarara!!×2 Ten, Mika claims that Namie probably doesn't know where the head is, and that Izaya probably doesn't have it either, since she wasn't able to find it when she snuck into Izaya's apartments.
In that case, who does have the head? I thought that Izaya did, in fact, have the head. Is it that Izaya has misled Mika somehow, or am I just misremembering something? And was Namie just lying when she said she'd give Mika the head? (I mean, Namie was obviously lying about being willing to give her the head, but did she even have the wherewithal to give Mika the head if she had wanted to?)
(I would appreciate it if stuff that the viewer isn't supposed to know at this point in the story were hidden in spoiler blocks.)

What were the circumstances surrounding Niekawa Haruna being "infected"?
As we learn in the second cour of the first season of Durarara!!, Niekawa Haruna is the Saika-wielder primarily responsible for the slashing incidents that have been plaguing Ikebukuro for a while.
In episode 17, when Anri reveals herself to be the true bearer of Saika, Niekawa realizes that it must have been Anri that slashed and "infected" her with Saika.
But, according to Shinra, Saika had been dormant for some five years prior - starting when Anri took possession of Saika after her parents' death, and ending presumably when the current series of slashing incidents began.
When did Anri slash Haruna? And why? I would think that if Anri had slashed her during Saika's supposed period of dormancy, somebody would have found out about it, at least.

It was not Anri that slashed Haruna, but instead a daughter of Saika, presumably one that spawned when Anri's mother was slashing people when she had the blade.

Can someone become immune to the Death Note by using plastic surgery?
If someone were to change his face through plastic surgery, would he become immune to the Death Note?

While the question is only slightly similar on a superficial level, the idea is identical. This is also similar, although the scope of change is different. (This is an edited version of an old comment, since there was a confusing-looking typo there.)

Looking at rule I:

This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

Plastic surgery might stop photos of the old appearance from working, but unlike with the name, it has not been stated that the original appearance is required to kill a target.
Conclusion, No. Plastic surgery can not make one immune for the the death note.

Over the past 3-4 years, I've been noticing a number of anime that credit a person named 外村敬一 ("SOTOMURA Keiichi", it seems) with 主題歌協力 - something like "theme song assistance". This credit, when present, usually appears on the same overlay as the four usual credits for the OP/ED song (vocalist, lyricist, arranger, composer). There are exceptions, though, like the Durarara!! Shou OP "Headhunt", where it appears on the following overlay.
Note that the list of credits on ANN I linked to above is non-exhaustive - I'm pretty sure (just based on my vague recollection of having seen this guy's name over and over) there are a lot more credits for this Sotomura fellow that they haven't added to their database yet. For example, he is credited on "Connect" (the Madoka Magica TV OP), but isn't listed as such on ANN:

Two questions:

What does this position entail?
Why have I never seen anyone besides Sotomura Keiichi be credited with it?

協力 makes more sense as "collaborator." Sotomura Keiichi is a music producer with a lot on his belt (man collaborations, too), so it's likely he was a in a secondary consultant-type role as opposed to a primary one with the project.

主題歌協力 is a honorific title, but the real position behind this is music producer (as seen on your linked website). The former can virtually be changed for the latter when seen.
The music producer position entails the following:

choosing adequate staff for the envisioned song, i.e. pick up everyone, from the studio to writers, composers, singers, and even the supporting staff.
planning the schedule for all this staff. In parallel, they also oversee the schedule advancement for albums jacket covers and promotional videos. There are also cases where they plan out live events.
managing the staff for the song, i.e. making meetings with everyone, exchange ideas about the envisioned song, adjusting details for the creation and recording of the song, and managing conflicts that may arise.
last but not least, budget management for the song publication and staff involved.

As for the reasons to why you only saw Sotomura be credited as theme song collaborator:

music producers are often also the lyrics writer and/or composer for the song, so they are credited instead as such in openings.
Sotomura is a music producer "only", meaning he needs a title position of his own in order to appear in the credits. Other music producers "only" usually appear in full staff rolls (i.e. that include full production staff), but are not credited in OPs.
A music producer can appear on the OP/ED credits on request from the artists involved in it, but seeing the number of appearances for Sotomura, it is more likely that directives were made between Sony and the animation studios to quote Sotomura in the OPs.

Is there an official explanation for Cage of Eden's rushed ending?
They rushed the ending, and it has too many plot holes. They leave the ending without any explanation, and there are characters who never revealed their identities.
It's pretty popular outside Japan (I don't know whether the manga is well-received by the fans in Japan or not). Did they make some official statement about this rushed ending?

Rather abruptly, it was announced that Cage of Eden was no longer going to be serialised:

2013's combined 4th/5th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine is announcing on Wednesday that Yoshinobu Yamada is ending his Cage of Eden (Eden no Ori) manga series in three more chapters. If Yamada does not take a break, the manga will end in the 8th issue on January 23.
Anime News Network

I can't find a definitive reason as to why the series was finished when it was, but the general consensus on the web seems to be that a drop in sales led to the publishers, Kodansha, halting the production:

"Sadly the manga was cancelled by the publisher and not the fault of the author. He was given at least a month to end his story."
Source
"The series was killed off so the author had to end it within a certain chapter, hence the ridiculous rush ending."
Source
"The ending was terrible because the manga got cancelled and the author had to end the story in a few chapters."
Source
"No, it's not very popular. Last volume that went on sale sold 40K copies which only put it at number 23 in the manga charts it then dropped out of the top 50 the week after."
Source

In any case, the reason for the completely rushed ending is definitely due to the series' cancellation.

This is actually fairly common in Japan; for a series to survive long, it must do well on the reader surveys included with the magazines, and the tankoubon have to sell well. Like most creative industries, the massive supply of manga creators far outstrips the demand for their work, and printing manga is expensive, so publishers have no incentive to keep wasting pages on a series the readers aren't loving; it's a better business move to drop the series and hazard a new one, from the plentiful choices available.

Light novel, Chinese or Japanese about a low noble/commoner in a school for kids with magic powers
This novel may involve aspects of rebirth. It is also either a Japanese light novel or a Chinese novel with a small possibility of being a fan-fiction.
The part I remember best about the novel is as follows:

A young, human boy, either a commoner, lower class noble, or noble with weak powers is attending a school for training students in magic or magical abilities.
He is looked down upon by the other students in his class. He is the only one in the class who I'd reborn in a different world from his original world.
The boy uses body strengthening magic/powers. During a training exercise, survival training, I believe, where the students are required to follow a route through a forest that surrounds their city, the entire class is in attendance.
His classmates include a royal princess and other high ranking nobles. The students make a big deal out of choosing a leader and eventually choose a high noble boy and his compatriots to lead the class.
The protagonist becomes the baggage handler basically, carrying others' supplies. The high noble boy wants to show off to the princess and other high noble girls, so he and his friends elect to try and take a short cut through the forest. Thereby getting a high score or something and impressing the ladies and teachers.
As the high noble has a bit of influence over the class, they agree to the shortcut. The exercise was predesigned by the teachers with the children's safety in mind, so, when they used the shortcut they were attacked by goblins and other weak magic creatures or demons.
At first the students were able to handle it easily. However, the number of creatures continued to rise and the students were tiring and they became trapped on top of a cliff. Of course, the protagonist is fine, even though he is carrying more weight than everyone else, however, everyone else is showing fatigue.
The students elect to fight the goblins and fended off waves of them, eventually they were pushed to a point of collapse and in the panic one of the high noble boys knocked the princess back and over the cliff.
The protagonist at this point uses his body strengthening skills/magic to rush to her, jump down toward her falling self, and then throw her back up the cliff while falling down himself. The students were occupied and not many saw the noble boy knock the princess off so he is ignorant or hiding the fact that he did it.
The princess brings up the fact that he knocked her off and was then saved by the protagonist. The high noble boys hearing this are nervous and say such things as that the protagonist should be honored to have died for the princess.
The princess is now pissed and takes control of the exercise, citing the reason being the boys are fools. She leads them to finish the exercise while worried of the fate of the protagonist who saved her. He lives, and moves on with his life.

Maybe: Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou

Thanks for the suggestion, however, whereas arifuerta involves a class from a world without magic being transported to another world, I'm fairly certain the protagonist is the only who is from another world. If he is, cause I really don't remember. Also, Arifuerta has the protag going to the Abyss with his other world classmates, not a forest with students from the world he is transfered to.

It might be Tales of Demons and Gods or Forsaken Hero if it's fanfiction.

Can you describe the rebirth element in the series?

How is he reborn? Is he a baby or already a teenager ( Man picked up from the gods, death march). Is he even human afterwards.

He was reborn as an infant or young child (3-5) and is human.

How did he die or how did he transfer?

Ah. I found it by chance. It's "Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~"
A summary can be found here:
https://zmunjali.wordpress.com/seirei-gensouki-konna-sekai-de-deaeta-kimi-ni/
And the piece that is summarized in detail can be found between chapters 10 and 11 of Act 1.

Do Kururi and Mairu swap chat handles?
In episode 6 of Durarara!!×2 Shou, we see Mairu speaking lines that are attributed in chat to "Kyou" (狂) around 18:14. Later on, around 18:44, we hear Mairu's voice actor (Kitamura Eri) speaking lines that are attributed in chat to "San" (参), followed shortly by Kururi's voice actor (Kanemoto Hisako) speaking lines that are attributed to "Kyou".
Then there's the fact that Kururi is taciturn in person but "Kyou" is super-talkative in chat, while Mairu is a chatterbox in person and "San" just occasionally posts one-line replies in chat.
Another thing (which I might be making too much out of) - in episode 2 of Ten, Mika mentions that "San and Kyou are Mairu and Kururi", without specifying which one is which.
And, to be clear, the character used for "Kyou" can also be pronounced "Kuru" (as in 狂う), while the character used for "San" can be pronounced "Mai" (as in 参る) - the chat handles are clearly derived from their names.
I don't see how to reconcile all these details without concluding that both Kururi and Mairu use both "Kyou" and "San" as chat handles at various times. This seems like exactly the sort of trollish thing they would do (runs in the family, I imagine). Am I right in thinking so? Or have I misinterpreted something?

In what order should I watch the various parts of Love, Chuunibyou & other Delusions?
Now I noticed that this question has been slightly answered before but for absolute clarity, I need to know.
I came across these titles.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Lite
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren Lite
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren Specials
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren: The Rikka Wars
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! The Movie Lite

Now because of my lack of knowledge as far as OVAs, ONAs, base series, and movies go in the anime genre exactly what is the chronological order of this list? And is it missing any titles from this series?
Oh, and I just finished the first season and if anything I know that I am supposed to watch the first lite series next right? Then the movie? (Ren specials and Rikka Wars, what order are these in?)

(Adding a link to where OP presumably saw this question "slightly answered" before: http://anime.stackexchange.com/q/19441/)

First, watch Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! - this is the first TV season. Either at the same time or immediately afterwards, watch Lite - these are a bunch of short comedic sketches that occur at roughly the same time chronologically, but don't have any impact on the plot.
After you've watched the first season, watch the episode-length OVA that goes with it (not on your list; you'll probably find it titled "Kirameki no Slapstick Noel"). Not plot-critical, but fun.
It also makes sense to watch the Depth of Field shorts for the first season (not on your list) sometime after watching the first season; these are fun but completely plot-irrelevant.
Then, you may or may not want to watch The Movie (not on your list) - aside from a couple isolated scenes, it's mostly a recap of the first season. The added scenes are pretty fun, though, so you might like to just skim those. Whether or not you watch the movie, watch The Movie Lite, which is another short comedic sketch.
This is the point at which you start watching the second TV season, Ren. During or after watching Ren, watch Ren Lite and Ren Specials (in whichever order), both of which are non-plot-critical and not directly related to one another.
Finally, watch Ren: The Rikka Wars, which is an episode-length OVA, like its first season counterpart.

Is there anywhere to legally watch the Depth of Field shorts in English? I have the US DVD release for Series I and they don't seem to be on there, though the Lite sketches are included.

@Torisuda Beats me. The Japanese Blu-ray has them (without English subtitles, of course), but if Sentai decided not to put it on their release, I guess you're SOL.

Since this answer was posted, the series has grown another movie, Take on me. It looks to be a sequel to Ren and its OVA.

During a rewatch of the series, I again made the mistake of watching the recap movie after the second season, which is why I'm interested in writing an answer here. It also seems this question's answer hasn't been updated since the second movie came out. I have the ultimate collection DVD, so I'll be basing my answer on that. Sentai's release does not contain Depth of Field: Ai to Nikushimi Gekijō or Heated Table Series: Kotatsu, and I haven't watched these, so I'll only be noting them at the end.
Proper viewing order:

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions. First series/season. Episodes 1-12.
Chunibyo Lite. These are six shorts. You can watch them during or after the first season. If you have the DVDs, you might want to watch them after episodes 1-9 for convenience, as they're contained on the same disc.
The Christmas OVA: "Glimmering... Explosive Festival (Slapstick Noel)"
The first film: Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions the Movie: Rikka Takanashi Revision. This is a recap movie, however, the beginning and end contain new content. I can't stress enough that this content should be watched before the second series, as it sets up some of the events. It's not exactly necessary to understanding the second series, but if you're going to be watching this movie at all, before Heart Throb is the right time to do so, not after. There are around three new narration lines contained during the recap part, as well as a song part showing the characters, but feel free to skip the rest of the movie if that doesn't interest you.
Chunibyo Lite: "My Older Brother 2". This is part of the Lite series, but it's contained on the same disc as the recap movie (It was probably shown in theaters with the movie). As far as I can tell, it's the only one with an English dub. There's going to be a third "My Older Brother" later, so that's another reason to put in the disc for the recap movie. I'll note, however, that even though I'm saying that, it isn't actually that important to watch them in the proper order, so watch them as 1, 3, 2 if it's more convenient.
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions Heart Throb. This is the second series/season. It contains twelve episodes just like the first.
Chunibyo Ren Lite. A second series of six shorts. You can watch these at any point during or after the second season. Again, they're contained on the same disc as episodes 1-9, so after those might be the most convenient time.
The second OVA: "Playback of... the Wicked Eye's Apocalypse (The Rikka Wars)".
Kotatsu Photo Session shorts. These are the three shorts that go with the second movie. They're a bit lackluster compared to some of the other stuff, so while I think they're worth watching once, you might want to skip them on a rewatch. There's a part in the middle that's always the same, where they're explaining the rules for taking pictures, so you might want to skip that part at least. There is actual dialogue during the still-frame part, so don't skip that (unless you want to, because it is still a bit boring). These are meant to be watched before the movie, but honestly, it doesn't really matter when you watch them.
Love, Chunibyo, & Other Delusions: Take On Me. This is the final movie.

Now for the shorts series you probably won't be watching at all (Though you'll wish you could!): Depth of Field: Ai to Nikushimi Gekijō, and Heated Table Series: Kotatsu. These are not contained in the Sentai English release. If you get a chance to watch these, it'll probably be after you're done watching everything else. They're shorts, so it's probably fine to watch them whenever.
Chronological Order
If you're interested in watching in chronological order (not that I'd recommend it for a first time viewing), you'll want to watch these shorts before even starting episode 1.

From Lite: "Wicked Eye: Daybreak Chapter" (episode 2), "My Older Brother" (episode 3),  "My Older Brother 2" (episode 7, contained on second movie disc).
From Ren Lite: "Wicked Eye: Storm Chapter" (episode 3), "My Older Brother 3: Camping Chapter" (episode 5), "Summoning an Archangel" (episode 6).

Everything else will be the same as above.

Got the episode titles from Wikipedia for convenience. I might put the DVDs in to check on those parentheses parts.

I'm guessing it's denoting official English title vs Japanese translation.

What's inside the UFO Robot Grendizer Manga Kanzenban?
I want to buy a present for an old anime fan and since he likes UFO Robot Grendizer I decided to get him a manga of it. I found something called UFO Robot Grendizer Manga Kanzenban / Complete Edition on eBay. It says that the release date is 2012 but there is no other information.
Does anybody know what's in this book? Is it a collection of old manga chapters or just random artwork? Also, is it drawn by Go Nagai or not? I really appreciate your help...

Including the actual link would have been apreciated

A kanzenban (完全版) is similar to a viz big edition or 3 in1 edition, or the English equivalent, a omnibus. This means it will contain several chapters in 1 edition of the magazine. This is done to be cheaper in production etc.
If I recall correctly the Kanzenban edition is already the 4th edition, published by Manga Shop. Yet it still contains the original art work of Go Nagai and Yū Okazaki. As do the other 3 versions. All tough there might be some slight change when buying translated version, the french version is known to have allot of changes (Speaking from experience.. I have a copy over here)
The kanzenban edition did get released in 2012, and is listed under
ISBN:     9784775914533 4775914537 or
OCLC-nummer:  788225116

In the manga, how did Asako contact Ushio from within the sea serpent?
In episode 6 of the Ushio to Tora anime, Asako and a boy she meets at the beach (Tatsuya) find themselves swallowed by some sort of giant sea serpent monstrosity. In the anime, Asako calls her grandparents' beach house using her cell phone, and that's how Ushio learns that she's in trouble.
But the manga was written back in the early '90s, before cell phones were commonplace (the anime has been relieved of some of the trappings of the '90s [much as Parasyte was] in the interest of appealing to modern audiences). How did this scene play out there? How did Ushio find out what had happened to Asako and Tatsuya?

In both the manga and anime, Tatsuya had a precious gift from his mother.  In the anime, it was referred to as a toy phone.  In the manga, it was a functioning walkie talkie (referred to as transceiver in the English translation).  There just happened to be someone on the beach with another transceiver who was listening on the right channel.  Asako's call for help was heard by Ushio.
What I found difficult to understand is why Asako's plea was even needed as part of the plot.  The sea-protector yokai had already informed Ushio that Tora needed his help and had been swallowed by a giant serpent.  That could have been sufficient cause for Ushio to help.

Is Yonezawa Sachiko inspired by Misawa Sachika?
In Joukamachi no Dandelion, there is a character named Yonezawa Sachiko (aka "Sacchan"). There also exists a real human being named Misawa Sachika. Observe the following:

Sachiko is voiced by Sachika.
Their names are curiously similar, sharing three of five characters - 米澤紗千子 vs. 三澤紗千香.
Sachiko is an idol. While I don't know that I would characterize Misawa as an "idol", per se, she is a skilled vocalist, and certainly strikes me as the idol "type" of voice actress.
Sachiko has something of a resemblance to Sachika (though, granted, this is not a hugely uncommon look for a young Japanese woman to have):

This leads me to wonder: was Sachiko inspired in some way by Sachika? Chronologically, it's feasible - Joukamachi has only been in print since June 2012, by which point, Sachika had already debuted (in 2008) and had her first major voice-acting role (Kuroyukihime in Accel World, in spring 2012).
Has the author of the manga (or, for that matter, Sachika herself) commented on this?
(Wikipedia claims that this is indeed the case; however, I would like to see some kind of citation if possible. Twitter, a manga afterword, whatever.)

Regarding the Idol part: "Sachika Misawa is the winner of the 2008 Kadokawa Up-Front Style Idol Seiyuu Audition."

Why didn't the SSS create powers like Tachibana Kanade (Tenshi) did?
I saw Angel Beats a couple of years ago (can't really remember when), and I remember that Tenshi

 created her powers with a software program.

So why didn't the SSS create powers themselves to fight her, if they were later on shown to be able to create weapons out of dirt?

Maybe because they couldn't? Either they didn't have that software, or they simply didn't know how to use it? When I was still at school, I was one of the few who knew how to write code. Maybe it's a similar principle? Like how there's only one person in the anime who can play the guitar, for instance?

If they remember how to do it, they can create weapons.
Also, at some point they can try to create things they don't remember (for example, the cannon at guild basement).
Probably, one or two people from the guild remember weapons, and they instruct the others.
For creating skills (power, abilities, body weapons), they need to know how to code and have a computer. They can get a computer from the computer room #1, but they also need the Angel Player software and a programmer (and apparently, only Takeyama knows how to do it).
Also, you don't know if the Angel Player is a software from the afterlife, or a software created by Tenshi. Maybe, the software itself is more difficult to create.
Lastly, if I remember correctly, Tenshi is the longest afterlife inhabitant.

Plus, you'd need access to the Angel Player software in the first place. Angel Player wasn't exactly easy-to-find – it was created by the elusive Programmer.

The software was also written in English – making it difficult to interpret.

Is the plot of the Mega Evolution specials related to the rest of the Pokémon anime?
I'm very interested in watching the Mega Evolution specials, but I'm afraid the plot is intertwined with the rest of the Pokémon anime, which I haven't been following.
Is the plot of the Mega Evolution specials related to the rest of the anime or do they follow their own plot?

If I remember correctly, besides some flashbacks, it is a completely standalone story (side story)

The mega evolution series focuses on a character named Alain who is later on introduced into the main anime in the xyz series. The mega evolution series plays a very important part in the plot, hence I would advise watching it in sequence with the Pokemon X and Y and XYZ anime.

How much of the Amagi Brilliant Park light novel was adapted into the anime?
Can you tell me how much the Amagi Brilliant Park anime adapted from the light novels, particularly in terms of which volumes?

I'm not entirely sure, but I can tell you that KyoAni fairly extensively restructured and reworked the content of the light novels, as they tend to do with their light novel adaptations. The time limit for the park was significantly shorter in the LNs (two weeks, if I'm remembering right).

He's given three months in the anime. Having never read the original light novel, I don't know how that compares to the time limit it gives, though

https://www.reddit.com/r/LightNovels/comments/2rddl9/amagi_brilliant_park_does_the_ln_continue_on/ From this discussion, What I gather is that the main plot was that of the first novel, but some of the character development was pulled from subsequent novels, none of which were very plot heavy. Not posting as a answer since I haven't seen/read either

The anime tells roughly the story of the first volume by expanding the deadline from two weeks to three months and by borrowing events from later novels. All of volume 2 was animated (hiring new staff and exploring Rubrum's cave), and the Kanie-body-suit incident was borrowed from volume 3.
NanoDesu Translations was DCMA'd and thus unfortunately was unable to translate the entirety of volume 3, so I'm afraid I don't have any more detailed novel-to-anime comparisons other than the fact that volume 3 did contain some story that the anime did not.

If we refer to bakaupdates, the anime covers the first volume but differs after that by taking elements of various volumes. https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=119404
