What happened to Juuzawa Juu at the end?
At the end of the anime,

 Juuzawa Juu was hit by a car/truck and he was shown talking to Ame on the ground.

Are we supposed to assume that he

 died,

or was it left as a cliffhanger that was never resolved (only three novels were written and that how it was left off)?
Also, how did Ame know that Juuzawa was in danger at the end? Was that supposed to show that she actually did know him from a different life or was it something else?

When the Three Musketeers arrived at the scene, standing in front of Shiraishi's dead body, Kirishima observed that

Not many people believe in divine retribution. That's because God is a lazy fellow. However, he does a good job every once in a while.

Therefore, it was clear that the truck turned away from Juuzawa and crushed the nearby Shiraishi into a bloody pulp. Juuzawa was left intact (or not fatally wounded) after the accident.
The anime explicitly stated at the conclusion of the second episode that Ochibana knew Juuzawa was in danger only because of their bond from their previous lives.

The truck diverts in the end, thus running over Shirashi senpai.
It is shown in the end with her hand filled with blood crushed in the truck, thus by pushing Juu on the road, she actually saved him (unintentionally) as the driver tries to avoid hitting Juuzawa and loses control over the truck and rams it into the girl.
Thats the divine retribution talked about in the end.

What does "I used to be an engineer once" mean?
I'm currently reading a hilarious manga called Clockwork Planet.
When I'm reading a given page, some guys tsukkomus (comments) on that page with "I used to be an engineer once." Basically, this pic depicts a scene that the main male character expresses his love to the main female character and gets accepted.

This scene is pretty good, but I still don't understand why some guys say "I used to be an engineer." I've googled it but got no appropriate answer. Therefore, I'm very confused. Would you like to give me an explanation for this weird sentence?

I really don't know, but maybe it's a variation on http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-took-an-arrow-in-the-knee

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not about anime or manga, but about a user comment referencing a meme.

Ah, as an engineer myself, I think I know where they're coming from, since my friends have made this joke to me before. If I'm right, this isn't an in-series joke, or even one related to anime & manga at all:
There's a running joke that (male) engineers are hopeless at romance and can't pick up women, likely originating from the fact that engineering is a profession that has a very skewed ratio of male to female participants. While the number of female engineers is increasing over time, the difference in numbers is still comfortably large enough for the joke to be made.
I expect the joke they're making is that since he is no longer an engineer ("I used to be an engineer"), a girl can finally accept his feelings.
Naturally, this has some traction on the internet - here are some examples I've found over my time:

Does "weaboo" mean "someone who watches too much anime"?
Some people seem to think that watching anime is weaboo-ish.
Is that a general perception, or is that perception incorrect?

Why should you care? Be proud about what you're enthusiastic in!

Humans make fun of others for a variety of reasons (eg: peer- or social pressure, traumas, inferiority complex, etc). Is making fun of others correct? No it isn't, but they might need this to cope with life. Does that mean you should lie about your preferences? Of course not. In the long run, you will be much better of being confident about what you do. As a wise man once said: "I don't care what the society says. I've regretted doing anything. I will survive and do what I want to." - Roronoa Zoro

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not primarily about anime in the context of questions relating directly to anime, but rather relating to social intereactions that may be influenced by consumption of anime, which is IMO out of scope.

@Vogel612 We do accept some questions about fandom, e.g. convention questions, so IMO this would be in a grey area, except that it's very much opinion-based / discussion oriented. As such I've voted to close on that basis.

@Unihedron Personally, I don't really care.  I watch a lot of anime and from where I'm from, nobody really gives a damn.  But when travelling to other countries, especially the US, and living there for some time, this perception seems to come up.  I'm probably just cautious so as not to attract unwanted annoying undesirable attention.

I wrote about this in more detail on my blog - Weeab.eu, here's a summary version.
A weeaboo is generally an insulting term, a weeaboo is someone who love anime and annoys others with their enjoyment. Generally things like yelling as if you're powering up, screaming when you see your anime-fan friends, etc. You can probably understand why people don't appreciate that.
As insulting terms go, it's pretty standard in that those who usually use it, don't know much about the medium - Just like how you might be labelled as as a goth if you just like shirts with skulls on them, or as a nerd if you like Star Wars - subcultures have a lot more to them than meets the eye.
And if you want to be technical, it literally means nothing - The original term was supposedly coined from the comic from the Perry Fellowship, with no context:

But you can own that term just as much as geeks and nerds can own their labels and make it a positive thing. Just like I've done by taking that blog name :P
Some people like labels, some don't - do whatever you prefer. If you enjoy something, don't let others tell you not to enjoy it! :)
To answer the question you actually asked: Sure they're related - but just as how football hooligans are related to football.

The impression I've gotten is that the term is used more for non-Japanese (or possibly non-East Asians, to some degree) who are sufficiently old and invested into non-"mainstream" titles. (e.g. I somehow doubt someone would describe a primary school student in East Asia obsessed with the Pretty Cure / etc. franchise as a weaboo.)

It's definitely only a term in the English speaking world, usually when you refer to the Japanese you'll use 'otaku'.
It's a fairly loose term, but I usually see it associated with people who haven't watched many non-mainstream titles. I see non-mainstream users refer to themselves as 'otaku' also

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I guess I'm immune to this label as I'm primarily Asian.  lol.  I dislike labels, I don't use them on others, (maybe I do, but in a very subconscious and very discreet manner--I don't impress it on them), and I certainly don't want it used on me, too.  Like I said above, I'm probably just cautious so as not to attract unwanted annoying undesirable attention when travelling to western countries that makes use of this label.

What caused the scars on Black Jack's face?
Recently, I started Black Jack. I've watched up to episode 8 and I am going to watch the rest of it soon.
So far, there's no story about what caused the scars on Black Jack's face. In addition to the scars, he has some stitches and sutures as well.
Is the origin of these scars and such explained during the rest of series?

Black Jack (ブラック・ジャック), whose real name is Hazama Kuro (間 黒男), used to live near a military site when he was young, which was filled with unexploded ordinance. One day he and his mother unwittingly stepped on and detonated a hidden mine. His mother went into a coma and eventually passed away. Black Jack almost died too but after many surgeries by Dr Honma Jotaro eventually managed to recover. Part of the reconstruction of his body was skin grafting onto the left side of his face. It was donated by his half-African friend Takashi, hence why it is darker than his natural skin color. He refused to have the skin colors match or the scars removed out of respect for Takashi. Incidentally, his white hair is also a side-effect of the explosion (due to the shock).
For more information read the Black Jack manga Volume 2, Chapter 7; Volume 7, Chapter 5; Volume 11, Chapter 1; and Volume 12, Chapter 7.

Can a human survive inside a titan?
In Attack on Titan, it is said that titans do not have any digestive organs and the only way they get stuff out of their stomach is by puking it out.
Now, if a human is swallowed whole by the titan, will the human survive inside the titan? Yet no one is said to have survived this way.

So... Do you mean at the time Eren is not inside a titan's stomach?

Eren is a titan... shifter. @HappyFace

As far as I know, there was no case where a human was swallowed whole by a titan. Most of the time the titan would give a fatal bite on the human before swallowing him/her. As such, even if the inside of a titan was just an empty bag, the eaten human would die from blood loss.
Now, assuming that somehow the human was swallowed wholly by a titan, and the human is in perfect condition, with the standard gear of the scouting legion, then he might be able to survive if someone were to kill the titan immediately after he was swallowed. If it took too long, then he won't survive. The reasons are as follow:

The titan would keep eating other humans, thus human bodies would come raining down on the already eaten human, potentially injuring them. If injured then his chance of surviving would get even lower due to the panic the injury caused him and the injury potentially hindering him from avoiding the next batch of dead bodies which could injure him even further. I doubt anyone who knows that he was inside the stomach of a titan and is injured would be able to stay calm.
The inside of a titan's stomach is not an empty bag. It has a liquid there. I'm not sure whether it has an acidic properties or not, but if it is then the eaten human would have his body melt due to the acid. If it is not, then being in the liquid itself would hinder his movement, which would disable him from avoiding dead bodies raining down on him as the titan eat more humans.
It was shown that after eating humans, titan would vomit them back since they lack digestive organs. The vomit was a crystal with the dead bodies inside. Assuming that somehow he was able to avoid getting injured while inside, he won't survived being crystallized since it means that he won't be able to breathe.

If Eren hadn't rescued Armin back in S1E5, Armin would have been swallowed wholly.by the santa titan.

The body temperature of a titan is extremely hot, causing the bodies inside to boil.
Examples of the titans' high body temperature are shown by the steam coming off of their bodies, especially after death, and in episode 9 when Eren's experience inside the belly of a titan was revealed.

Even if they don't have digestive organs, they sure have some sort of fluid inside of stomach, judging by corpses, that were puked out. Since it is basically impossible to get out by our own, I suppose, one will simply suffocate do death to the moment he is puked out. Not to mention that, if numerous corpses are swallowed, survivor will simply buried under them.

There is a one shot of Attack On Titan where it is shown that a pregnant woman was once consumed by a titan. However, once the titan was slain, the baby that existed in the womb was in healthy condition, though the mother was dead.

It is to my understanding that the reasoning for the Titans taking a 'fatal bite' out of its victim is that it is most probably hoping to absorb the spinal fluid of a Titan Shifter in order to turn back into a human. This is supported by the fact that the Titan serum is injected into the back of the Eldian's neck (where the spine is).
Furthermore, there is no way of surviving due to this fatal bite, meaning that the Titan, under normal circumstances, would never swallow you whole; provided it is a typical mindless Titan. Intelligent Titans, such as the Quadrupedal Titan and the Dancing Titan (Ymir), have held a human whole in their mouth, but they did not swallow their captives regardless of their bodies not at risk of harm inside the stomach-like pocket in the Titan body. This could be due to the uncertainty and lack of knowledge currently disposable about the Titans and risks not wanting to be taken.
Overall, this suggests that a human cannot be swallowed whole. The best possible outcome is losing a limb or part of your hand/leg/arm like Eren did when encountering the 'Santa Titan', but in normal circumstances their arm wouldn't grow back and they'd likely die of blood loss.
Furthermore, this suggests that the Titans are unaware of the section of the body that they're severing, and probably just subconsciously hope that they sever the spine of an area relevant to the transferal of the spinal fluid into the second party.
With regards to surviving inside a Titan provided you've been swallowed whole, the survey corps are the primary people that Titans consume, and few of them are consumed by an individual Titan due to their skills in the field. So in the unlikely event of someone getting swallowed whole, they would be inside of the Titan for a long period of time before being vomited out when the Titan fills itself up. This could be months between expeditions or even years. Nobody would be able to survive that long inside the Titan unless they eat other humans raw inside the Titan or even attempt to eat the walls of the pocket they are being held in.
WHEN EREN WAS HELD INSIDE A MINDLESS TITAN prior to discovering his abilities, it was evident that there were other alive people inside the Titan, but it was so hot in the pocket that they overheated and died while calling for help from the heat. Titans are already known to be extremely hot especially without skin, and I doubt that there is any skin on the interior of the Titan. This suggests that regardless of your physical state when swallowed, it will be too hot to last for a prolonged amount of time inside a Titan without simply boiling to death.

When Eren was first eaten, he was pulling Armin out of Santa Titan’s mouth without any injuries whatsoever. This implies Titans do occasionally eat humans whole
Inside the Titan, it’s obviously very hot, but considering blood is able to collect in a liquid form, it’s not unsurvivable for a short period of time. If someone were to be swallowed and had the grit, they may theoretically be able to cut their own way out

Please include relevant sources/references.

Why does the quality and style on this Naruto Shippuden series differ from the regular one?
I was watching this episode of Naruto on YouTube.
I would like to know why the quality and style of the anime differs from the regular one?

Looks like that's a cutscene from a videogame, if you look at the description.

that's not an episode, that's from the game as per the description of the video "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 the Rabbit Goddess大筒木カグヤ"Kaguya Otsutsuki" vs Naruto"

For all those thumb downs: I am not a hard-core anime watcher, so I thought it might be the last episode with such quality! :D Have fun!

I upvoted. Guys stop down voting this question. It's a valid generic question about a media platform for anime and has a proper answer.

The first part of the video's description reads (emphasis by me):

Naruto,Sasuke,Kakashi Team 7 Vs Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Full Fight (English Sub) . Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 the Rabbit Goddess大筒木カグヤ"Kaguya Otsutsuki" vs Naruto,Sasuke Uchiha Perfect Susanoo Kakashi. Rinne Sharingan vs Byakugan. Kaguya's unstable Tailed Beast Transformation awakening,Final TruthSeeker Orbs ultimate jutsu. Previous Boss Battles;

So as you can see, that is not a video from an episode of the anime series, but rather a cutscene from the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 videogame. The bottom-most part of the description also clearly states that this is from a game:

Thank you for your answer. Well, I haven't been played Naruto games (none!), so that was weird for me (regardless of what description says).

Is Goku in Dragon Ball based on Sun Wukong from Journey to the West?
When I was looking for info on Saiyuki and learned it was based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West, I was reminded of some things:
The Japanese name of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is Son Goku.

Sun Wukong (孫悟空) is known/pronounced as Suen Ng-hung in Cantonese, Tôn Ngộ Không in Vietnamese, Sun Ngokong in Thai, Sun Gokong or Sun Go Kong in Malay and Indonesian, Son Ogong in Korean, and Son Gokū in Japanese.

Source: Sun Wukong - Names and titles (1st Paragraph)
Some question here refer to Goku from Dragonball as Son Goku.
A number of images of Sun Wukong show him on a cloud with a staff, similar how Goku in the original Dragon Ball Series is shown with Nimbus and his staff.
So, I am wondering if Goku in Dragon Ball is based on Sun Wukong from Journey to the West?

Akira Toriyama was definitely influenced by Journey to the West in writing the original Dragon Ball manga. In early stories, Goku rides the Flying Nimbus cloud and wields an extendable staff, two aspects taken directly from his inspiration the Monkey King along with his name, and the fact that he turns into a giant ape is also a callback to his simian origins.
The quest to find the Dragon Balls was also a parallel to the quest for the sutras, or scrolls of the Buddha, and some of the other characters from Dragon Ball have parallels to Journey to the West characters, although they tend to be a little tenuous at times. And, of course, it didn't take long before the original story gave way to all the craziness and martial arts and ridiculously scaling power levels to the extent that by the time Dragon Ball Z came along the resemblances are superficial at best.
You can see mention of the connection in the Wikipedia article, although the sources are mostly print ones so you'd have to put a little leg work in to track them down yourself.

The last panel of the last page of the first chapter of Dragon Ball alludes to Journey to the West.

Remember your Chinese fairy tales? You don't? Not even the impish Monkey King and his magic staff, the Nyoibo? Oh, well... drop in next time and you'll learn...

He is based on Wukong prior to having a monkey tail some monkey magic the power pole and the flying Nimbus including one more thing u forgot the armour of Son Goku that some evil sold it to a pawn shop for just because he liked it that is what insipred the Omni king to not be scared of him in Dragon Ball Z and erased his future saying they lost

What about the armour of Son Goku? How does that relate to him being based on Sun Wukong? I'm afraid I don't see what this adds to the existing answers from four years ago.

Translation of alphabet used in Konosuba
Is there a complete translation of the "letters" used in the world of Konosuba? I'm talking like the ones seen on their adventurer cards. I'm positive each symbol corresponds to a letter of the English alphabet, but I want the complete list of them if possible?
Here's Megumin's card:

An enterprising person over here has provided a translation table for the letters and some of the numbers, in multiple typefaces:

Someone somewhere may have put together a more complete version; this version is from just after episode 3 or 4, and more sourcetext became available as the show went on.
As you surmise, there is a simple one-to-one relationship between the English alphabet (and related glyphs like punctuation and numbers) and the KonoSuba alphabet. However, beware: the actual text that is enciphered is not necessarily in the English language - some of it is also in romanized Japanese. For example, someone in the linked thread deciphered this part of your image:

As this:
koumazokunonakademouiitsunotensaimahoutsukai. b
akurestumahoutoyobarerusaikyomahounomiruyokunimor
itsukare. soreshikatsukawanaishitukawanai

Which may seem like gibberish, but in (somewhat typo-laden) Japanese, it's Megumin babbling about EXPLOSION. Roughly, "A wunderkind magician, even moreso than the average Crimson Demon. She is enraptured by the mightiest of magicks: EXPLOSION. She won't use any other magic, and plus - she can't." This particular text is cobbled together from various bits of copy about her character, as far as I know.

How Knov appearance kept on changing?
In Hunter x Hunter, at first Knov's appearance was pretty bold and looked smart. But after knowing the fact that their enemies are stronger then he got scared.
First change: His hair got white and he was a little bit skinny.

Second change: Hair loss and lack of physical fitness.

But being a Hunter, why he undergoes such a huge change in appearance? I mean how come his whole physical body changed? They knew that the mission they are going into is really scary, but what was the reason behind his complete change?

His appearance changed because he was so terrified.  The idea was that he was so scared of the beings they were exposed to that his hair went white and he rapidly lost weight.
Stress can cause rapid weight and hair loss. I don't know if hair turning white from fear is real but it is a common belief (see crash test dummy's MMM). That is what you are seeing exaggerated here.  What you are supposed to note as remarkable is how he continues to aid the group and stick with it even though he is so debilitated.  He is more scared but somehow the bravest GD person there.

The same thing happens to Welfin when he's in the precense of the King. For Nen users, Nen is an expression of their physical and mental condition so it makes sense that if their Nen gets disrupted, or if they're under a lot of stress, both the quality of their Nen and the appearence of their body can change. This also happened to Gon when he was so enraged and determined that he made an unconcious covenant with his Nen and his physical apperance changed. Knov is the same thing but more similar to Welfin than to Gon.

I think he was using his nen to keep his appearance good and to look young compare to his original age.
There was an episode where they talked about how you could use nen to stay young. Then when he met with the royal guards' aura, he got really scared that it hindered him to use his nen properly.

Interesting answer, and I agree that Ten is documented to slow aging. But with the suddenness of his hair changing to white, then the very haggard appearance shown in Yagami's 2nd image, my opinion is that most of the change is due to the terror he experienced.  Note that during the Election arc, Knov is shown to have recovered a fair amount.  He's still thin and maybe bald (he's wearing a hat now), but he has regained a confident demeaner.

I think he got so scared or something, that he stopped eating, sleeping, and just moving. Which probably made him that way.

What's up with glowing Naruto?
While watching some Naruto fights on YouTube out of context (not seeing previous episodes or movies), I noticed that Naruto now has the ability to (what looks like) catch fire, and give his Nine-Tailed Fox chakra to other people just by touching them.
Now normally, when using his Nine-Tailed Fox chakra, he turns red and stuff, but this time he looked less like a fox, had a robe, and was bright orange instead of red.
I could have sworn I also saw another flaming ninja, but it might have been his clone move.
Anyways, I'd like to know when, how, why, and what this is and how he discovered that power.

This would be the Nine Tailed Fox Cloak that Naruto learned to control just before/during the Fourth (I believe) Great Shinobi War.

That's actually not Kurama's chakra. Sure Naruto can only enter that mode because he is a Jinchuuriki, but he does so by absorbing Kurama's chakra and then transmuting it into his own chakra signature. What we are seeing is Naruto's chakra mixed with Kurama's.
Naruto's chakra is described as bright and orange. Kurama's chakra is neither bright nor orange; it's dark red.
Moreover, Naruto's ancestor had the same cloak despite not being a Jinchuuriki

When does Black Butler take place?
In chapter 3 or 4 of Black Butler, Sebastian is using a mobile phone when talking to those guys who are holding Ciel captive.
Is this a mistake by the author or something else? Isn't Black Butler in the 1800s?

As far as I know, anime contains multiple things, that should not exist in implied time, like advanced firearms, or chainsaw. So, mobile phone is not actual case. It may be actually some sort of alternative reality, which shares features from both past and present time (like FMA, being majorly about first part of XX century, but featuring advanced artificial limbs).

Jack the ripper was in the 1870 - 80's i think and queen Elizabeth was also around that time so my guess would be 1880.

In the manga chapter 27 page 41, it was shown that Ciel Phantomhive was born in 1875. Googling with the key phrase "the first cell phone" tells us that the first mobile-phone was created in 1973 by Motorola, which is 100 years after Ciel was born.
Since Ciel was 13 (12 during the first 14 chapters) in the story, mobile phones should not have existed. Thus, like lentinant said in his comment, it is likely that the story takes place in an alternate reality.

As lentinant has commented above, Black Butler does not have a set time. The place is established as England and the era is clearly Victorian due to the architecture, theme, clothes and general behavior. But as it is a fantasy genre manga/anime, there are several inconsistencies such as chainsaws, cell-phones and semiautomatic weapons that are incorporated.
In most fantasy themed works, history is paid homage and is eluded to rather than portrayed accurately.

They say that the two brothers in the tower were imprisoned in 1483, and when Ciel talks about it, he refers to this event as having taken place 400 years ago, so it must've been in the 1850s and plus.

This could be one of the answers. Could you provide some references to this scene (manga chapter/anime episode)?

In episode 10, they go to a Frost Fair on the Thames, the last of which was in 1814.
Jack the Ripper's murders were in 1888.
Queen Victoria reigned from 1839-1901.

Presumably, some research either wasn't done, or 100% historical accuracy was ignored in favor of including all the elements the author wanted in the series.
It's a pretty silly series too, so what does it matter? Can't complain about dates not lining up when people run through stone walls and get consumed by fire for several seconds without lasting burns.

While searching up "cell phones" will come up with 1973, Sebastian was not using a cell phone. Cell phones and the phone he used is different, and cell phones were not invented back then. However, the did have phones and it was invented in 1876.

If you're saying it's not a cell phone, can you provide some proof of that (a screenshot, etc.)?

I haven't read the manga, but as mentioned in another answer, it couldn't have been a cellphone. As shown in the anime, it isn't a cellphone and they quite can't change the plot that much.
If I'm right, this all was when Ciel was captured.

Do you mean read the manga?

Black Butler does take place as it says. Searching up "When was the first phone invented?" will return March 10, 1876.
I remember in the second episode of the anime, they had one of the phones that are shown in the images, but it wasn't a cell phone. I just had it in a bag to help transport it.

Says who? You should try citing sources instead of tell ppl to search for phrases.

It's 1888 since Ciel is 13 years old (12 in the first 14 chapters) and born in 1875. 1875+13=1888.

If its in 1888, then in episode 5 season one, how did grell have fake eyelashes yet they werent invented in till 1911?

Death Gods have advanced technology that isn't available to humans. Chainsaws, weedwackers etc etc.

Other than calculating the exact year, this doesn't add any new insight compared to the existing answer which has also mentioned about Ciel's age and date of birth.

Are female voice actors cheaper in Japan?
There are some anime which have all female characters, and literally, everyone that is voiced is a girl. When there is a guy, he either has a squeaky voice or is actually a girl too.
Is this because female voice actors are cheaper in Japan?

To clarify:  are you asking why there aren't more male seiyu playing the role of males in specific anime?

Nope. But it's way easier for a woman to imitate the voice of a child boy than for a man, and many anime characters are supposed to be pre-voice change.

Which episode in the Alabasta arc has Luffy ate all the food on the boat and Sanji ask him about it?
In the Alabasta arc, there is an episode where Luffy eats all the food on the boat. When confronted by Sanji, Luffy responds with the following, all while whipping his hand back and forth:

I really don't know what you're talking about.

Does anyone know what episode this is from?

I'm assuming that this happened early on in that arc because of them being on the boat still. Does that sound about right? Was Mr.2 still around?

Yupe and they have no idea about the top agents yet.

It's from episode 92, titled "The Hero of Alabasta and the Ballerina on Deck".

Welcome to Anime and Mangfa. please do not pad out answers just to meet the minimum character requirement, it's there for a reason and if you're answer can't meet it then it's not enough to be a good answer

To be fair, I don't see what else this answer needs.

@senshin maybe an episode summary or a short description of the events that lead to the asked scene.

Why did the Queen kill Ciel's relatives?
In the anime, Black Butler, while sitting inside the Eiffel Tower, the Queen finally admits to Ciel that she was the one responsible for the death of

 his parents.

Why did she kill them, exactly?
We find out later that

 his parents even knew the Queen may be coming for them,

but why?

There is a proverb (I forget how it exactly goes but the point is the same), a sharp sword is a good sword, a too sharp sword is a dangerous sword (thus needs to be disposed off). The Phantomhive might have grown too powerful that the Queen feel threatened.

Actually this is not the case and is a common example of where the plot falls apart between cannon and filler.
This is a long answer and took a lot of editing, but try to stay with me and feel free to comment if anything doesn't make sense. First, I will explain why your question doesn't have an answer, then I will explain why.
First off,

The reason why the queen killed Ciel's parents

This is unknown because it is never truly revealed in the anime. In the battle it is alluded to that the queen perceived Phantomhive household as a threat to the throne and had them exterminated. As to why they became such a threat is left unclear.
Secondly,

Why is this unanswerable?

The contract that Ciel has with Sebastian pertains specifically until Ciel satisfies his revenge. So once that enemy is listed and the conflict is resolved, the plot would end theoretically. As you probably already know, the manga for this series is still being written by Yana Toboso so naturally the main villain has yet to be revealed and we are still learning the history of Vincent's past bit by bit as Ciel goes through his adventures in service to the crown.
The concept of the queen being the killer of Ciel's parents was only explored in the anime and IMHO was a fantastic plot twist to keep the anime below 25 episodes and very enjoyable, but...
The black butler anime is only partially canon.
The deaths of Ciel's parents have yet to even be explored in the manga. For this reason (among several other inconsistencies with the manga), the anime has several plot holes. If you watch the first season to completion and then watch Book of Circus or Book of Murder (both of which are canon), then the plot clearly falls apart.
Black Butler II and everything that happened in the latter half of the anime is not canon.
Black Butler contains the following arcs, more details can be read about them here:

Kidnapping
Jack the Ripper (also called the Madame Red arc)
Houndsworth (anime only, non-canon)
Shard of Hope (anime only)
Curry Contest
Noah's Ark Circus (manga only, adopted later in the Book of Circus OVA)
Haunted Castle (anime only)
Book of Doomsday (anime only)
Conspiracy and Revenge (anime only, death of the queen and end of the anime)
Phantomhive Manor Murderds (manga only, later adopted in Book Of Murder OVA)
Luxury Liner (manga only)
Public School (manga only)
Emerald Witch (manga only)
Blue Cult (manga only, and current arc at chapter 117 released June 2016)
Black Butler II doesn't have a place in the storyline as of yet, but will be added at the end here because it does exist.

So a prime example of this is that if the queen was killed in Conspiracy and Revenge, why is Ciel still taking a mission from her in Public School which clearly occurred after?
So to sum all of this up, the manga does not support the fact that the queen killed the parents of Ciel. So if the anime did not fully flesh out why that happened then there is no answer.
PS: I can list the more major plot differences anime-wise and manga-wise, but it will take me time to look up arc names and whatnot so this answer will be getting edited.
PPS: Finally finished all my major edits. Anything else beyond this will be for style and added clarity.

Is it impossible to explain it using the anime only as the base?

Well if we go exclusively on the anime , no. Vincent Phantomhive was a powerful man. So the queen could have had any number of reasons to question his loyalty to the crown. And as you can tell from the anime. Once your marked for death by the queen your time is up. And only the queen would know why.

Why was Excalibur not used near the end of season 2?
I just finished re-watching episode 18 of season 2 of Sword Art Online, and in the end, Kirito throws Excalibur into the pit and then Shinon catches it with a spell arrow. Then, once the quest is over, he gets the sword as a gift from Urðr for saving the land. In the next episodes we don't see him use it.
Why isn't he using it?

In SAO Wikia about Excalibur, there is some trivia mentioned, among which:

Kazuto resolved to never use Excalibur for personal gain as he believed that the sword contained the «caliber» of himself and his companions.

As mentioned in the comments and in Alchemist's answer, Kirito used the sword when fighting off the guild to buy Asuna some time.

I would like to add that Kirito only has 2 roles inside ALO in the Mother's Rosario Arc, the first was fighting Yuuki before Asuna did and the second is fighting off the Guild that was trying to do the Boss Raid before the Sleeping Knights. for the most part the arc focused on Asuna

I'd like to add that in the light novel, he never used it at all. He decided to abandon the sword because it was too heavy. Him attaining the sword is anime only.

According to Mansuro's answer, it does make sense why he doesn't use it that often during battles. However, it is not true that he doesn't use it at all. He did use it in the Mother's Rosario arc.
He uses it in the 21st episode. When Asuna and the Sleeping Knights are interrupted by the adventurers just before entering the boss room. Kirito appears just in the nick of time and wards them off using his own sword and the Excalibur, dual wielding them while Asuna and the Sleeping Knights head for the boss room.

I agree with him not using it because its too powerfull it would be unfair for others but thats assuming due to his good character.
And another thing is maybe its because he has another sword made by liz which he prefers to use better when wielding dual sword.
But I disagree with the thought of he doesn't use it much because shinon only retrieved it for him. Even if kirito left the excalibur sword and shinon doest get it back. The npc will still give it to kitaro as reward for finishing the quest, besides he was still the one that pulled out the sword.

He simply doesn't use it because it isn't fair, it is way too powerful. If it wasn't for Shinon, it would not have been given to him. You can think of the weapon like Mjolnir; any time a person who is not worthy tries to wield it, the weapon gets too heavy to hold.
The only time he ever used it was to fight off the guild as an equalizer. Even then, he knew he didn't have the stamina to kill the entire group.

He cannot use Excalibur as a normal sword as it is very heavy even for him. It is like in season 3, the items have a requirement to be used and probably Excalibur also has a requirement that makes it impossible to use freely, until when he used the excalibur he spent several hours sleeping.

What does Mikasa mean by "It's happening again" in the 2nd episode?
At the beginning of the 2nd episode after Eren and Mikasa are saved, the blond army guy pulls them forward, and Mikasa holds her head, has a flashback, and says "It's happening again".
What does she mean by this?

After I rewatched the episode, I can firmly answer your question but be advised for there are spoilers in my answer.
When she has that flashback,

 she remembers how her family was murdered and she was thinking that she remained alone, until Eren saved her and she became part of his family. When Eren's mother dies, Mikasa experiences the same feeling of losing someone dear as she felt when her family was murdered. This is why she says "It's happening again..", because she lost a part of her family again.

Ok, thanks a lot. I had previously watched the anime and totally forgot about that - the question came up now that I am watching it the second time. My main concern about the spoiler is whether the answer is hiding in the anime or the manga.

It was my pleasure to help you

it's because Mikasa has

 titan blood in her, as the Ackermans are seen as titan experiments.

When did Obito awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?
In Naruto Shippuden episode 473, ...

 Kakashi uses Obito's eyes to create Susanoo. But Obito's eyes were not Eternal Mangekyou. Previously, he had Rinnegan which he has borrowed in addition to one of his own eyes, and that's why he could do lots of stuff.

When did Obito awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?

Note: this is not the same question as When did Kakashi and Obito awaken their Mangekyou Sharingan?. Eternal Mangekyou is when someone from Uchiha gives his Mangekyou to someone dear then it becomes eternal and the powers will be activated.

You don't need the Eternal MS to be able to summon Susano'o: the regular MS should be enough.

Possible duplicate.

You need to be more specific. If you believe he had an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the burden of proof is on you, the OP, to justify it. The answers exist to support or refute it. Just because you claim something it what it is doesn't meant it really is that. Try to edit your question more clearly express your point, so there is less confusion on what you are trying to ask.

This is not a duplicate, the answer is Obito never obtained an Eternal MS

Obito never had the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The user does not need the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to use Susanoo according to the wikia - just the Mangekyō Sharingan in both eyes. Once Kakashi gains the power of both of Obito's eyes, it allows him to use Susanoo. Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan increases the power of their abilities and causes the user no negative side effects such as losing vision and bleeding from the eye.
The full body Susano'o is the most powerful form granted by the Mangekyo Sharingan. Kakashi said in episode 437 at 12:53 "Gaining the Six Path's power enhances one's Visual Prowess too". It's most likely that Kakashi was able to use the full body Susano'o since when he gained the pair of his (actually Obito's) Sharingan, he also gained some of the Six Path's power Obito posessed.

How is that the case? Itachi has susanoo, but it wasn't complete since hi lack eternal mangekyou. Sasuke gained a complete susanoo right after he had his brothers eyes.

And of course it wasn't because of kakashies intelligence, because Itachi was the most talented person in the history of Konoha and after 10 years, he couldn't activate it when kakashi did in 1 sec

The full body Susanoo is the most powerful form granted by the Magekyo Sharigan. Kakashi said in episode 437 at 12:53 "Gaining the Six Path's power enhances one's Visual Prowess too". Its most likley that Kakashi was able to use the full body for because along with Obitos Sharigan he also gained some that power as well.

He doesn't need Eternal Mangekyo for the Susanoo, and if you're asking why he got the perfect Susanoo, it's because before dying, Obito had stolen some of the Six Paths Chakra from Madara, and as it was said that the Six Paths Chakra enhances and doujutsu or anything. That is the reason he was able to skip the imperfect Susanoo and the cage's to the perfect Susanoo.

Itachi had a disease. We never got to see how strong he really was. Itachi's chakra control was so amazing that we couldn't notice he was sick. Sasuke didn't kill him, he died from the disease. That's why he needed Obito to kill the Uchiha.
Itachi was the most interesting character to me because he planned his life out and was known as one of the strongest shinobis with the sickness. That's why Itachi wasn't able to summon a perfect Susano because he was very sick and was on verge of dying.

Where to read continuation of Re:Zero anime after episode 24?
I just finished this anime on Crunchyroll, if you have watched it as well, you know how it ends there.
How or where can I see what happens next without waiting for the still possible next season? Also, what chapter of the manga picks up where the anime ends?

Re:zero is originally a LN. The LNs aren't translated, except volume 1, which was released by Yen Press. Amazon links: LN Vol1, (Preorder)LN Vol2, (Preorder)LN Vol3, Manga Vol1, (Preorder) Manga Vol2

The answer is: I was mistaken.
Crunchyroll made the series sound (to me) like it was ended 2 weeks ago but the series actually played until this week (not sure yet if there is more coming).
But, thankfully, I was able to see all the episodes up to an actual conclusion.

Episode 24, 25 will cover vol. 9 which will be published in 25th of September 2016. This will mark the end of "Arc 3: The Truth of Zero", follow up by arc 4 that starts with vol. 10 which will start publishing in October.
For the raw/unedited web version (Arc 1 - Arc 6), you can read it on Shousetsuka ni Narou (Japanese).

Thanks, this is pretty neat actually and google tries hard to translate :) But it is confusing. I guess I'll wait ha ha

Who is this man in the cover page of One Piece chapter 839?
In the cover page of chapter 839 of One Piece, there's a man on large bounty poster that Luffy draw number 3 on his face.

It seems that all Mugiwara crew give some respect to this man, even
Chopper looks like he's crying for him.
I don't think he is the character on One Piece, is this some kind of tribute from Oda to someone? So, who is he?

He is Kankichi Ryotsu. As stated on http://onepiece.wikia.com/
Luffy paints Kankichi Ryotsu's signature eyebrows on a giant wanted poster of the character as he and the Straw Hats commemorate the ending of the manga Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo. See link

@Nube1Nu2 Instead of posting your answer as a comment, you should post it as an actual answer.

He is Kankichi Ryotsu from Kochikame.

So its a tribute to Kochikame for its ending :) Thats soo cool

What happened to the other androids in Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z?
In Dragon Ball Z, we are well acquainted with Androids 16, 17, and 18. In addition, we met Androids 19 and 20 (Dr. Gero) before 16-18. There may have been mention of others, but they were not developed or mentioned much to the extent of my memory.
I also think that we were introduced to Android 8 in Dragon Ball (the episode where Goku is ascending up the Muscle Tower with a new foe on each floor, one of which was Ninja Murasaki who on finding himself outmatched, ordered Android 8 to fight Goku, if I remember correctly).
However, I do not remember any mention of Androids 1-7, 9-15, and 21+, if they exist. Do they exist? Do we ever find out or know what happened to them? Is it further discussed in the manga?

Androids 19 and 20 were shown in Dragonball Z as the first Androids that appeared. i believe 19 was actually Doctor Gero who Bulma identified when Future Trunks revealed that he wasn't one of the Androids which destroyed his time and the Z Warriors began looking for his lab to stop 17 and 18 from being activated. 20 was defeated by Vegeta after Goku contracted the heart disease (remember it was that plump white skinned one Vegeta ripped the arms off from)

@Memor-X Duly noted, I updated the question

According to the Wikia and my memory, Androids 1-7 and 9-12 were useless due to them being faulty (design problems) and some were too emotional and the kind.
As for Android 8 a.k.a. Eighter or Hat-San, as you rightly said, he had been depicted in the Dragon Ball manga, anime and the movies.
Now, Android 13-15 were introduced in the 7th movie, Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! and were the first few killing machines built successfully with the aim of killing Goku.
Regarding Androids 21+, I'd like to state the Wikia. They have been portrayed in Dragon Ball Fusions, Dragon Ball Heroes etc.
Android 44

An Android in Dragon Ball Fusions whose design bears resemblance to Android 20.

Android 8000

A highly advanced variant of Android 8, utilized by the Time Breakers, comes in several different models including Mk. II and MX.

Android 19000

A highly advanced variant of Android 19, built by the revived Gero and utilized by the Time Breakers.

Other than this, there's the Android A-B-C section which was in the DBZ manga if I recall correctly, which has all the information about the Androids up till Cell.

That's pretty much all there is in the manga.

According to the Wikia, Android 1-7 and 9-12 were completely artificial but Gero could not control their personalities.

Dr. Gero starts at 8 because it's a reference to Dr. Slump (Toriyama's 1st Hit). The main villain of the manga (Dr. Mashirito, a reference to Toriyama's editor) created 7 androids called "Caramel man". (Later he modified himself to caramel man 8 and 9).
Toriyama decided to continue from 8 for constructed androids.

What is the Ash-Greninja form of Greninja?
This new form of Greninja is circulating around. I am not following the anime or the movies so please try to be gentle if it was obvious.
What exactly is this Greninja? If it's a mega-evolution, how did it get there without a stone? How exactly does his powers/abilities/skills vary from other normal Greninja?
I know the physical difference, that it starts to resemble Ash a bit. Easily noticeable is the red middle part on his head instead of the body blue.
This is the normal Greninja:

And this is Ash's:

it's ok, because unless you watch the anime, you wouldn't understant this at all.

edits have been made

Basically, what happens is that the bond between Ash and Greninja is so strong that Greninja took the new form as Ash-Greninja where Greninja takes some features of Ash (as you mentioned) and it is not a mega evolution. Some theorists say that it might be synchro evolution from the pokemon spin off Pokemon Reburst. By turning into this form, Greninja's power greatly increases and as you can see on its back, there is a giant shuriken which is a replacement for water shuriken (the move). The Ash-Greninja form can only last for a short period of time before Ash and Greninja gets tired and faint, during the form ash can also feel the pain that Greninja is feeling.
The official website explanation is "Ash's Greninja takes on a mysterious new appearance in the latest season! Ash-Greninja is the form that Greninja takes when the bond between it and Ash is raised to the limit. The strength of their bond changes Greninja's appearance, and it takes on the characteristic look of Ash's attire. This phenomenon is also said to have happened just once several hundred years ago in the Kalos region, but it remains shrouded in mystery."
The anime explanation is saying pretty much the same thing. When it first happened in the ninja village, the anime explained that because the bond between is great, he has taken a new form. The first appearance looked something like this.

during this stage, Stallone did a lot of testing where he discovered that this transformation will take place only when Greninja and Ash have mentally synchronized. Then later in episode 25, while versing the kalos champion, Ash-Greninja got the full form and it looked like this.

it was then explained that this was when the bond became maximum level where they are completely synchronized. And then it goes through the phases of difficulty between Ash Greninja and stuff.
Some power ups include faster, stronger, giant water shuriken, using water ninja knife things instead of the normal iyarigiri move. And in the episode 35, water shuriken became huge (kind of like rasen shuriken), it looked like this

Everything about Ash-Greninja is explained in the anime, it also shows Stallone testing how it works and the road to master this form.
I highly recommend Pokemon XY & Z. The anime has improved a lot, Ash is no longer the immature young kid, he seems (mentally) more as a teen now and yeah, I definitely think you should give it a try.

Could you probably get the anime only explanation and explain in the spoiler tags. Bulbapedia's Ash's greninja  page has little concrete information on this. They talk about the Water-veil and its final Shuriken form but apart from physical characteristics they don't tell about its powers etc. They speculate its a power up similar to Mega Evolution though.

@Arcane do you mean as how the anime explains this?

Ash Greninja's form requires them to be in sake and synchronized together, once he took full form the water shuriken on Greninja's back is a symbol of its strength which can mean that Ash and Greninja have a strong bond and makes them battle together as one.

When Ash went to challenge the Anystar Gym, he and his friends were attacked by one of Olympias assistant's [Carrie]. Ash battled her with Frogadier and Pikachu and won the battle. As she was about to use another Pokemon, Olympia stopped her in her tracks. Olympia's other assistant [Charlene] tells Carrie off for her actions towards the Ash and his friends.
After they find out that Olympia is the gym leader of the Anystar gym, she has a vision of Frogadiers future. So they then go to gym and Olympia explains "Its power will become greater and greater". Then when Ash asked "Does that mean Frogadier will become Greninja?", Olympia says "Umm, that.. I don't know. However I do know this it will reach new heights that no one has never seen before and the two of you will reach those new heights together". Professor Sycamore asked "Could you mean Mega Evolution?", everyone gasp in surprise and Ash asked "Mega Evolution?". Professor Sycamore states "Though no one has ever seen a Greninja that could mega evolve". Clement says excitedly "That's  incredible! A new power that no one has ever seen before is a really BIG deal!" Serena says "Not just a BIG deal it's a HUGE deal!" Bonnie cries out "I can't wait for that to happen" Then Ash says confidently to Frogadier "Then lets go the future is out there just waiting for use!"
Ash' Greninja is a very important character in the XYZ series and it's when Ash and Greninja's emotions are in sync that Ash-Greninja appears. When Ash and his friends reunite with Sanpei and his Greninja, they all go to Sanpei's home, Ninja Village, and go over to Sanpei's room, then Dedenne and Squishy go down a trapdoor and Ash, Sanpei and the others follow and find themselves in a secret room. Sanpei's older brothers Ipai [the oldest] and Niai [the 2nd oldest] show Ash and his friends a temple with a picture of the ninja hero [A Greninja]. Bonnie states "But that Greninja is different then other Greninja I've seen before!" Clement said "Yeah, that's true"
Ash Greninja is a very special pokemon and one of a kind, but sadly Ash-Greninja has left Ash to get read of the rest of the vines in kalos.

Are there differences between the web novel and light novel versions of Re:Zero?
I found in Manga Updates that there are Web Novel and Light Novel versions of Re:Zero.
So are there any differences in them, like plot, characters etc.?

In any adaptation of a story from one version to another, there are going to be some edits. Originally, Re:Zero is a web novel and it is always the furthest along in the story.  The story gets edited a bit as it gets transferred to the "official" light novel publication, and even more as it gets drawn as a manga.
As far as my experiences though, the overall story does not really change between these mediums.  It seems mostly just a case of how much content makes it through to each.  This is, of course, the most visible between the manga and anime adaptations, since the studio is limited to certain time constraints.
From what I've heard from the community regarding Re:Zero, the light novel is what is considered the most canon/official.

Is there a nen user that could've defeated Meruem (the king)?
During the Chimera Ant arc of HxH, we witness the awesome battle between Meruem or the chimera ant king, and

 Isaac Netero.

At the end,

 Netero is defeated by the king's might (some may argue that Netero still won with the hidden bomb, but in essence and for this post, I am going to conclude that Meruem defeated Netero).

If

 Netero

could not defeat Meruem, is there a nen user in the HxH universe that could? Perhaps someone from the main cast, such as Gon, Killua, Kurapika, etc., a lesser character, such as Ging, Kite, Illumi, etc., or maybe a character that was only briefly mentioned and not fully developed?

And by a 'lesser character,' I mean more minor one, or one that did not appear in all of the arcs of the show (not necessarily a lesser nen user)

Meruem origin from the dark continent. So there are definitely more op people living there. Don Freecss, for sure, can beat him.

Just from the point of the show, it is clear that the only character with a chance of beating Meruem in 1v1 is....

 Adult Gon Pitou admitted that the insane power up may even challenge Meruem and thus sacrificed herself.You should find this reddit pretty interesting. Reddit: Adult Gon vs Meruem

Other characters with a chance/broken abilities are:

Chrollo Lucifer: The leader of phantom troupe with a most broken ability. There is no limit to the power of Chrollo and hence he will be the first in this list. Given the right circumstances and planning, he is sure to make an impact.
Zeno Zoldyck: At least as powerful as Netero, the head of master assassins Zoldyck is surely VERY powerful and capable of standing up to Meruem.

However once, Meruem absorbed Pouf and Youpi, I doubt anyone could have beaten him in the HxH universe.
From another answer,

When it comes to a fight between Nen users, pure power doesn't mean everything. One may have an ability than can overpower a type of opponent.

Other then the anime, there have been host of new characters recently shown for the dark continent arc that can have an impact.

There are indications Maha Zoldyck is more powerful than Zeno or Netero. He definitely was at some point but is Zeno's grandfather. Like many other characters we don't actually have enough data to say. – kaine
  I didn't remember Maha from the show. Haven't read the manga before the HxH_2011, I couldn't honestly comment on it, since Maha does not appear during the Yorkshin arc in the 2011 anime. However Wikia makes an interesting comment on him and he may well defeat Meruem if he was on his peak

Maha is the only known Enhancer in the Zoldyck family. In his youth he was incredibly powerful, to the point that Isaac Netero, once considered the strongest fighter in the world, received praise just for surviving a fight against him: he was, in fact, the only person that far to challenge Maha and live to tell the tale. It is unknown if his strength has waned with old age.

There are indications Maha Zoldyck is more powerful than Zeno or Netero. He definitely was at some point but is Zeno's grandfather. Like many other characters we dont actually have enoigh data to say.

@kaine Added some relevaant information on Maha Zoldyck

Is Maha this one? http://ddn.i.ntere.st/p/11787659/image If not, what about Something? Couldn't someone technically wish for Something to kill Meruem?

Sorry guys for being unclear. I meant to say there are likely others (Maha is prime example) that are that strong but we haven't seen them in action.

Something has indetermined power. They can probably kill anyone, but it is not in the control of anyone how it happen.

Why is everyone neglecting Hisoka while still considering Chrollo? Also, no one has mentioned Ging who as Kite said is the strongest Hunter in the HxH universe as far as he knows. While Something was doing her thing, everyone but Ging was freaking out. He knew, understood, and did not fear that power.
I think while Meruem is something unusual and powerful, his ability to learn was exceptional but he could still lose, that is something that was so significant with Komugi. She was insignificant in every way except Gungi. The king was an excellent fighter, but he wasn't very experience. So here is my list for people who could potentially beat him:

Chrollo: Not enough information is given since we don't know all of his spells, still he could have something in that book stronger than Kurapika's chain that would work against ants.
Hisoka: We know very little about his powers. Other than that where he may lack in power, he is a genius and smarter than the average bear. His dodgeball battle with Razor where he did very little, it was assumed he couldn't throw the ball but no one even asked. It served as a checkpoint for him to see where Killua and Gon were in their training. When Gon was knocked out, he said "he wanted total victory, right Gon?" while using his sticky gum to LAUNCH the ball back at Razor and sticking it to his arm. He could've done this at any point and single-handedly won the game. While I'm unsure of whether he could beat Meruem since we haven't seen his limits tested, it's safe to assume he'd stand a better chance than people are giving him.

Now people I think have a high chance of beating Meruem:

Zeno: do you need an explanation? He said Netero was stronger than him, but Netero said that Knov and Morel were probably stronger than he was. You can't go based on what is said specifically, but rather what is shown.
Gon: Pitou said so before he even transformed. Everyone else covered the rest.
Ging: this is pretty self-explanatory, we don't have enough information as we literally have no idea what he can do. However, he basically made it clear nothing was left for them on their world. Realizing the significance of Meruem being there, had he seen him as an actual threat, he probably would have shown up, he knew how it was going to go through, so he was like fuck it. If the anime/manga ever continues and shows his progress going into the New World I think you guys will see he -- of all people -- deserves recognition. While being a shit father as an individual, he is clearly a fucking monster. He is the only one I would bet my money on to win without much of an issue.

what something are you refering to?

Throughout the hunter series, there are people who are speculated to be god-class in power. Meruem himself is of course one such being. Alluka is another obvious example. I can list a few others in this category to give you a gist. In my view, only with power of such a class can one defeat the ant king.
Don Freecs (the grandfather of Ging) is one character who can be ascribed such a power level. He is strong enough to live in the dark continent permanently; constantly charting and mapping the area and writing books about the species and wonders found there. Mind you, the dark continent is where the chimera ants originate from. The continent contains creatures so deadly that they make the chimera ants seem like insignificant mere miniature ants by comparison; thus for a nen user to be powerful enough to choose to dwell there, then he must be a good contender to fight and defeat Meruem.
Kite's new identity as Meruem's sister, gives her the immense nen capabilities of a chimera ant Princess, effectively placing him in the god class category capable of fighting an ant king.
Eventhough it is unconfirmed, there is reason to believe that the sonata of darkness which deformed Melody, was not written by the devil himself but was in fact written by a nen user whose power is so vile that it could easily be referred to as devilish. A being of such power could also be a good contender against Meruem.
If anyone of Netero's power level (for instance, anyone in the legendary seirin group) uses a nen restriction (ie: takes a leaf from Gon's book) during battle, that individual should then be powerful enough to defeat the ant king.
Maha Zoldyck in his prime was an assassin like we have never seen before. There was almost no method of death dealing in the grim reaper's arsenal that Maha could not dish out. He would be the only guy I would tip to be capable of 'dwelling successfully' in the dark continent (aside Don Freecs of course); indeed, "god-class" was not out of his purview. However, given that Netero 'survived' a battle with Maha, the ant king would most likely survive him too. They could be equal in combat, but I doubt Maha could dish out a true defeat.
There are abilities in the hunter universe that could instantly make one a god-level combatant. In fact, I believe Killua even mentioned one in the greed island arc when he stated that the combination of risky dice and fickle genie could make an individual quite powerful. It would be akin, or the same effect as someone who wished for Alluka to grant them a power/ability/strength capable of defeating the ant king.

I guess in my mind, it depends on what you mean by "defeated."  If you are assuming a actual 1v1 fight, very few likely have a chance. Those that might have a chance would be as follows:

 Adult Killua:  The story has not gotten that far yet, but it's assumed he has very similar potential to Adult Gon.  With his Godspeed/Lightning abilities, his highly logical/tactical combat measures, and his incredible physical strength, he might have the tools to overpower Meruem.  (Assuming Meruem stayed only as strong as we saw him in the anime/manga).  I believe being able to constantly stunlock an opponent nearly forever with his kind of combat skills absolutely gives him a chance. (He might even have MORE Nen abilities in the future as well.)

 Adult Gon:  As Arcane stated in his answer, this is pretty accurate. Also why Pitou decided Gon must be taken out.

 Chrollo Lucifer: While Chrollo has a nice toolkit, I really don't believe that as he is now, he stands a chance against Meruem.  If he could learn a LOT more abilities, and gain a lot more power?  Maybe, but even then, how does he compensate for the speed and strength disparity being a Specialist?  He would absolutely have to surprise him.

 Shalnark:  Assuming that super strong aura doesn't negate abilities on its own, AND assuming that Shalnark could surprise Meruem somehow, AND that he lands his dart.  Then yes, Shalark could win, simply because he could then simply have Meruem tear himself apart.  I still somehow find this scenario unlikely though.

 Maha Zoldyck: As the only enhancer in the Zoldyck clan, and able to fight Netero to a standstill in the past, he's very strong.  But he's also very very old now, and it's unlikely he could do it is his current state.  When he was at his prime?  Possibly, but the same could be said for Netero as well.

 Zeno Zoldyck: The official power charts, and just observation in the anime as well, seem to conclude that he would not be able to beat Meruem.  Zeno is strong sure, and his battle experience is very high, however, even he admitted Chrollo would take him in a serious fight.  Given these facts, it seems unlikely he could defeat Meruem in any capacity.

 Unknown Random Nen User: Given that the series doesn't cover ALL nen users in the world, it's possible that there is someone out there who COULD do it, even if we don't know who they are (This answer is here merely for the sake of completeness).

NOW, that said....  If you are talking outside of battle?  Then there is someone who can do this easily.

 Alluka Zoldyck:  She's essentially the strongest Nen user in the series, and possibly the strongest character in that world period.  As long as she's not surprised, Alluka/Something could simply let Killua use her power in command form to kill Meruem, and there's nothing he could do about it.  Her power is simply too much for a normal person to overcome, it's essentially a wish/cosmic scale as far as we were shown.  ONLY if Meruem knew of this, and could surprise her could he come out victorious.  She wins in basically any other scenario.

 In a way, this also makes the further story a little lame concerning Killua seeing as that he has full control of this power, he's essentially invincible now. The both of them could even restore Gon's Nen if they so chose.  She's basically a demi-goddess without battle powers as far as I'm concerned.  I understand the author wrote himself into a corner and Alluka was the solution, but it also could harm the impact of future works if the answer to any one of Kilua's or Gon's problem is:  "Alluka could fix that in a second."

Wow, great answer. I just edited a few things, and it should be in spoiler tags now

Thanks a lot, I thought about this a bit myself in the past, and this is what I came up with.  Also thanks for the spoiler help.  I thought the final Anime Arc was cool, but it also taints future storytelling.  Alluka's power is too good, and it's unlikely anything will happen to her with one of the strongest Nen fighters on the planet making sure she's safe.

I wouldn't phrase it as Togashi writing himself into a corner with Nanika. Her only role so far was to help Gon. Togashi had no apparent reason to add the stipulation on commands which is what allows her to fulfill violent wishes without reprisal. Therefore, he did it for a reason that he believes must add to the story. HxH has a lot of connected dots; it's clear he plans ahead. We just don't know the reason yet, so it looks OP right now because we can only judge it in the story's current framework.

Throughout the hunter series, there are people who are speculated to be god-class in power. Meruem himself is, of course, one such being. Alluka is another obvious example. I can list a few others in this category to give you a gist. In my view, only with the power of such a class can one defeat the ant king. Don Freecs is one character who can be ascribed such a power level. He is strong enough to live in the dark continent permanently; constantly charting and mapping the area and writing books about the species and wonders found there. Mind you, the dark continent is where the chimaera ants originate from. The continent contains creatures so deadly that they make the chimaera ants seem like insignificant mere miniature ants by comparison; thus for nen user to be powerful enough to choose to dwell there, then he must be a good contender to fight and defeat Meruem.
Kite's new identity as Meruem's sister, gives her the immense new capabilities of a chimaera ant Princess, effectively placing him in the god class category capable of fighting an ant king. Even though it is unconfirmed, there is the reason to believe that the sonata of darkness which deformed Melody, was not written by the devil himself but was in fact written by nen user whose power is so vile that it could easily be referred to as devilish. A being of such power could also be a good contender against Meruem. If anyone of Netero's power level (for instance, anyone in the legendary seirin group) uses a nen restriction (ie: takes a leaf from Gon's book) during battle, that individual should then be powerful enough to defeat the ant king. Maha Zoldyck in his prime was an assassin like we have never seen before. There was almost no method of death-dealing in the grim reaper's arsenal that Maha could not dish out. He would be the only guy I would tip to be capable of 'dwelling successfully' in the dark continent (aside from Don Freecs of course); indeed, "god-class" was not out of his purview. However, given that Netero 'survived' a battle with Maha, the ant king would most likely survive him too. They could be equal in combat, but I doubt Maha could dish out a true defeat. There are abilities in the hunter universe that could instantly make one a god-level combatant. In fact, I believe Killua even mentioned one in the greed island arc when he stated that the combination of risky dice and fickle genie could make an individual quite powerful. It would be akin, or the same effect as someone who wished for Alluka to grant them a power/ability/strength capable of defeating the ant king.

I will just clarify:

Hisoka doesn't have the firepower to beat Meruem.
Chrollo doesn't as well, although considering his ability he can use Sphinx's Cyclotron and some of his friends abilities to aid him, and he will need to set up an environment where he can win. However, in a straight up 1v1 no planning? He gets wrecked.

No other Hunter has displayed Meruem like powers even Gon.
So the answer is no, none have shown as of yet at least.

The other answers may be theoretically correct (adult Gon and Nanika are the most promising, though Nanika's status as a nen user is unclear and thus may be disqualified), however there is one Nen user who we know was capable of seemingly trivially defeating Meruem.
I am speaking, of course, of Komugi.
Conflicts in Hunter x Hunter need not be based on combat. Certainly it is a common setting for it but we have also had dodgeball games, jogs, arm wrestling, and so on. When Meruem challenged the national masters of various board games, the stakes were clearly life and death and it is clear that the other masters were defeated.
Komugi was also definitely a nen user, as we see her gain the ability to perceive nen and she developed powers related to Gungi. That many of her victories took place without the use of Nen is irrelevant as the question does not require the person to use nen for their victory, merely to have the ability.

Do I have to read the entire manga series of Magi, or can I start reading where the anime left off?
I watched both series of Magi (The Labyrinth of Magic & The Kingdom of Magic) and am eager to see how the series carries out. I found the manga and want to start reading it from where the anime left off, but I know that sometimes the anime leaves things out.
If I start reading the manga from where the anime left off, will I miss anything?

From what I've seen the anime and manga follow almost identical story for Magi. In the end of season 1 they made a few changes in Ali Baba's personality. Some people argue it was a screw up. However, this reddit user sums it up perfectly (Spoilers)

At the end of the first season of the anime, Alibaba falls into depravity. This event doesn't actually happen in the manga. Aside from that there are no significant differences between the two mediums. People argue that one is better than the other, however they both tell a nearly identical story. Somehow some people think that it messed up Alibaba's character, however it still goes along with his personality. The idea that the anime used to portray his fall was that he couldn't handle that the world was so cruel to let so many others fall to darkness. This goes along with his general portrayal as seen throughout the series where Alibaba does cares deeply about other people. This can be seen as early as the first arc wherein Alibaba decides to save the child who falls into the desert hyacinth despite his previous arrangement with Budel. There are numerous other examples of how Alibaba cares for others, even if they aren't directly affiliated with them throughout the series. The anime only addition simply helped give a seemingly large climax for the series that would have otherwise been underwhelming considering it was the final arc of an anime that may or may not have gotten a sequel.

Did the writer of Sword Art Online do a research on guns when writing Gun Gale Online?
In a number of Sword Art Offline 2 episodes in Yui's trivia corner, she explains some of the guns seen during the series talking about their real-life counterparts.
Did the writer of Sword Art Online do a research on guns when writing Gun Gale Online? Did this trivia come after the light novels and used only to give something for Yui to talk about in Sword Art Offline?

The details of the guns in the game were actually quite basic. Here are three spots in novel #5 that mention specs on real guns used in the game:

Before the title page- Here, it says facts about Sinon's Hecate II, things like the length of the gun and the size ammo it uses. Also the fact that, in real life, the gun has been banned from being used on human targets.
Page 137- Kirito asks why the assault rifle fires smaller rounds than a sub-machine gun and Sinon explains that it's for higher speed and accuracy, a trait that has been used since the M16.
Page 140- Sinon recommends the Five-Seven to Kirito for a sidearm to use with his lightsword. She explains that it uses small bullets shaped like rifle rounds. This gives it an advantage of accuracy and penetration.

The bit in Sword Art Offline wasn't included in the light novels, but the trivia on each of the guns is indeed there.

I doubt the writer researched about guns.
In the first Sword Art Online, he did not research swords at all and it was all about swords.
Asuna has a Rapier. However, a Rapier is a blunt edge sword used exclusively for piercing. It is also useless outside 1-on-1 dueling.
Kirito also dual-wields using two long swords (one is a rapier and one is a sabre if I am not mistaken). Due to the size, dual-sword wielding is only possible either with a long sword and a short sword, or two medium-size swords.
If both are long swords, they are too big to actually wield. Also, the wielder should have really strong hand muscles or be ambidextrous. But usually, a sword's movement is a circular arch. The bigger the sword, the wider the circle. If they have two big swords, either the two paths intersect or hit the ground and either case is very dangerous. Moreover, it is technically difficult there are few records of it actually being used and no records of being used in battle.

I'm not sure on the reasoning of him being unable to dual wield two swords other than the ones you suggest.
Is it a balancing issue? i'm sure in the game he was a part of, balance wasn't really an issue, so doing so would be alright, based on that.
other than that I don't know why that'd be out of the question, could you give me a little explanation as to why please?

not a balancing issue. It is a size issue. If both are long swords they are too big to actually wield. let's forget the fact that you should have really strong hand muscles. Or that you should be ambidextrous. But usually a sword's movement is a circular arch. The bigger the sword the wider the circle. If you have two big sword either the two paths intersect or hit the ground. Each are very dangerous.

Why does Sasuke have 6 dots on his Rinnegan
When looking at Sasuke's Rinnegan, I noticed that he had 6 dots in it (the same kind you find on a Sharingan).

But Madara didn't have this. His just had a few circles but nothing else.

Is there a reason for this?

The dots you're mentioning is actually called Tomoe, like you said, it is usually formed on Sharingan. Rinnegan are usually characterized by light purple irides with a ripple-pattern that spreads over the eyeball, a few well-known wielders are Pain (not really though), Nagato and Madara.
Back to the question, recall that Sasuke received half of Hagoromo's (aka Sage of Six Paths) chakra, thus awakened the Rinnegan. The Rinnegan Sasuke has is quite unique, it has 6 tomoe split between its first two ripples, this doesn't mean nothing, it indicates the Rinnegan is fully charged. What's the difference between a typical Rinnegan and a fully charged Rinnegan you ask? Well, it's simple. Fully charged Rinnegan wielder like Sasuke gains abilities typical Rinnegan wielders don't have. About the abilities, I bet you knew it already.
Sasuke cannot use the Rinnegan full abilities if he overuses it. At this point, the tomoe will disappear, preventing him from using its full power. Sasuke will keep his left eye closed until it is fully recharged. Sasuke is still able to use the powers of his Mangekyo Sharingan with his Rinnegan, but cannot use or form the Mangekyo in his other eye when it is recharging. (See the image, the Mangekyo doesn't form on his right eye when he loses Rinnegan's charge, and it is formed again when the Rinnegan is fully charged. This is also stated on Narutopedia.)
Here you can see it happen in the manga.

Note that Kaguya and Madara both had a similar eye on their forhead, though it was red instead of purple.

Then why doesn't Hagoromo or Madara have tomoe on their rinnegan?

I think what happened is, the Tomoe represent the charge of Sasuke's Rinnegan. When he overuses it, they disappear and he can't use its full power.
Hagoromo gave part of his power to Sasuke so he could activate the Rinnegan. Madara used Hashirama's cells to make himself fully as Hagoromo was, which means that Madara got the full portion of the Rinnegan power while Sasuke had only a small amount since he was given part of chakra to activate it.
In short, Madara can use his eyes almost forever and at extreme levels, but Sasuke's needs to charge to be fully functional.
There is proof of that in the mangas.

Welcome to [anime.se]. This answer would be better if you could also provide the reference from the manga. You can always [edit] and improve your post. Meanwhile, consider taking a quick [tour] to understand how this site works.

If you could post specifics from the manga, that would greatly improve your answer beyond just saying, "There is proof of that in the mangas."

From what I've heard, it's called a Rinne Sharingan, which is the last stage of evolution for a Sharingan and Rinnegan.

Hi. Please do not post answers you are unsure of yourself as this can spread misinformation or misconceptions. Cite sources to back up your claim and do not just say that you heard it from someone or somewhere because that would just be a rumor, not a fact. As far as I know and from what I've read in the manga, your answer is incorrect. Thanks!

I think Sasuke rinnegan is more similar to the Ōtsutsuki clans rinnegan if u look at theirs they have very unique from member to member and madara has regular rinnegan. All Ōtsutsuki members can travel through dimensions and i think the reason sasuke can to is because of how his rinnegan was given directly through hagoromos chakra and because of this he has same abilities of their stonger rinnegan but the drawback is he doesn't have their rinnegan. He has something similar where he has to have his eye charged to use the abilities to travel through dimensions. And if u were wondering why madaras rinnegan could be spammed unlike saskues rinnegan it is because madara had the ten tails which is basically kaguya chakra

The reason as to why it's different is never really stated, but we can infer why.
First off, there are three different eyes in Naruto. From the weakest to the strongest, they are Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan. So the byakugan will stay a byakugan forever, but it can turn into a Tensaigan (I can't remember how, but that doesn't matter). Now for the most important Rinnegan and Sharingan,  Sharingan can evolve into Rinnegan. However, before that, there are 3 things needed: a fully developed Sharingan, 3 Tomoe Mangekyou, then eternal.
So as for what the Rinnegan is, it's basically a mixture of a Sharingan and its own traits, but the Sharingan aspect is only useable to Uchihas. That's why Nagato can't use Sharingan's effects, but Sasuke and Madara can.
Now for why Sasuke's looks different, Madara took Hashirama's Senju chakra and combined it with his which caused the Sharingan to evolve which is sort of the only way to make a Sharingan evolve and Sasuke does something similar, except the sage of sixth paths gives Sasuke half of his chakra which is much more than Hashirama's. Thus, his eyes seem to almost turn into a Rinne Sharingan. Also, the reason for their abilities being different is because that's just how Rinnegans work as Mangekyou Sharingans do the same thing

the 3 requirements are a bit off. Hagoromo himself said that Indra+Ashura= Hagoromo(and Rinnegan), and Hashirama and Madara were trans-migrants of Indra and Ashura. The only other person to awaken the Rinnegan in any form, Sasuke, directly got hagoromo's chakra and awakened it. Nagato was given Madara's Rinnegan, and actually may have had access to the basic Sharingan features.

the six tomoe in sasuke's rinnegan represent him activating his mangekyou sharingan for this reason(I think) people have dubbed it the sharinnegan

This is false; just activating the Mangekyou isn't enough for the tomoe to appear on the Rinnegan.

Byakugan is not the strongest. If you think about it, that was the Hyuga clan being arrogant. Susano, Kotoamatsukami, Amaterasu, Kamui? Byakugan has nothing on that.
Sasuke's Rinnegan is stronger than Madara's. The Tomoe pattern indicates what I am guessing is an incredible amount of sage chakra that Sasuke can gather thanks to Hagoromo's buff. It's clear that at the least it's an advanced version of Rinnegan, otherwise Madara would have had Rinnegan powers far greater than Sasuke's considering he had two, yet Sasuke displayed far greater teleporting abilities which Madara would have used if he could have.

But nobody says "Byakugan is the strongest"...

Which Black Jack anime most closely follows the manga?
I love the manga, Black Jack, by Osamu Tezuka; it is truly a masterpiece.
Well, I want to watch the anime, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, there are multiple animes, apparently. There is a

1993 OVA series, containing 10 episodes;
2001 ONA series, containing 12 episodes;
2004 TV series, containing 61 (or is it 62?) episodes.

Frankly, I'm stumped. I just want to watch the anime adaptation of the manga, and I'm unsure which one is most true to the manga, and I don't feel like watching all 3 of these.
So, which one is most an anime adaptation of the manga?

Technically the 2004 series has 63/64, if you include the Special Karte episode(s).

Black Jack 2004 Series so far is the most accurate.
I've read up to Volume 5 in the Manga, and so far (I've seen ALL OF THESE) the 2004 one has more elements of the original story composed by Osamu Tezuka.
What I like especially about the 2004 (& Black Jack 21) is that each episode even shows (in the introduction) the name of the chapters from the original Manga that the Anime is based off of.
If you want to watch something that's most closely related then I recommend the 2004 TV Series.
Although, like any other Anime Adaptation, there are bound to be some changes.

Does it have 61 or 62 episodes?

There are 61 episodes on the Black Jack TV Series, but there are 2 Hidden episodes in the series making it 63 all together for the 2004 Series.

Black Jack 21 is 17 episodes long and is a continuation of the 2004 series.

Then there are the Black Jack Specials that fall into place with the 1st Black Jack TV series as well, and those are 4 episodes long.

Is there any news about Hunter x Hunter since March 2016?
I was searching on the internet and I found this article on Anime News Network,

A page on the Shonen Jump+ website announced that Yoshihiro Togashi is resuming his Hunter × Hunter manga in the Ankoku Tairiku (Dark Continent) arc. This year's 16th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine will reveal more details on Saturday.

Is there anyone who knows if this was real, and is there any other news about the return of Hunter x Hunter?

Unless you are an insider within the industry, there is no further information at this moment aside from the details provided in the article that you've linked. The source itself is legitimate because 1) it comes from a reputable site that reports anime and manga news, and 2) the news comes from the publisher directly. It's already all there. The only questions on the minds of fans is how long until the next hiatus.

Finally we got one great news.
According to this Link and wiki:

It's been a big past few weeks for "Hunter x Hunter" fans. After
Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" announced mid-March that "Hunter x
Hunter" would be making its return to the magazine (confirmed for
April 18) after being on hiatus since 2014, fans in America now have
even more to look forward to, as Adult Swim's Toonami revealed that an
English dub for the series will be aired on the network starting April
16.
The announcement was made Friday during a pre-show feature on the
Adult Swim website Toonami: Pre-flight. The series will make its
premiere on the network starting April 16 at 1 a.m.

@LightYagami this question will probably be duplicated alot in the coming months. Can you modify your answer to have the year like April 18,2016 so that as this question is duplicated the reader will have a bit more clarity on the solution?

Why did Obito spare Kakashi?
During his time of Obito being with Madara, the White Zetsus told him that Rin and "Stupid Kakashi" were in trouble. Obito hurried as fast as he could to get to where Kakashi and Rin where. Once he got there, he saw that Rin was already dead and that Kakashi was the one who killed her. At the same time, Kakashi and Obito awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan which made Kakashi faint and Obito just sad/mad. Obito got so mad he went on a rampage. He killed all the other people that were around Kakashi and Rin. Once he finished, he went to Rin and hugged her. After that, he looked back to see Kakashi who was on the floor.
At that time, Obito had a huge chance of killing Kakashi, but for some reason, he did not want to kill the person who took the love of his life away from him.
Why did Obito spare Kakashi? Why didn't he kill him instead? Did he just feel bad for killing someone who was defenseless, or because he was going to feel bad for killing his old friend? Is there another reason for this, or is there just none?

He simply ignored him. - According to wiki (Obito cradled Rin's lifeless body, ignoring the unconscious Kakashi.)

He never hated Kakashi for what happened, he hated the world for causing it (thanks madara for planting that seed in his mind).  Later on he revealed he knew she was the 3 tailed Jincurhiki and jumped in front of kakashi to commit suicide. Madara played him like a fiddle.

For Obito, Kakashi was a victim just as Rin was. He didn't blame Kakashi for killing Rin but rather for "letting her die" and not being able to keep his promise. He was aware of the fact Rin had the 3-Tails inside her and chose to die by Kakashi's hand.
Hence, he never resented Kakashi himself but rather the world that created this situation and forced Rin to commit suicide.
In chapter 600 of Naruto, Kakashi asks Obito if he blames him:

Kakashi: Aren't you going to blame me?
Obito: With this insignificant reality, what good will blaming you do?
Obito: I hold no interest in the affairs of this world that's about to disappear.

A lot of people don't know why Obito didn't choose to kill Kakashi when he had the chance. Obito chose not to kill Kakashi because they had been lifelong friends.
Before that, Obito knew about Rin having the three tails placed in her, and he couldn't bring himself to doing it. When Kakashi "killed" Rin, Obito and Kakashi developed their Mangekyou Sharingan. As Kakashi fainted on the ground because of it, Obito got mad and killed all of the mist ninjas around.
I believe he didn't kill Kakashi because he knew he was defenseless.

All things considered, the answer which precedes yours is relatively well cited and has more basis in the actual story line as opposed to an opinion.  If you want your answer to be received well, you'd do well to add some sources backing up your assertion here.

What is Naruto's second element?
After a long time of hard work, most ninja get a second Nature element. While Naruto's first one is wind, I don't recall his second one being mentioned.
What was Naruto's second nature ability?

Naruto's natural affinity is Wind Release, which he learned from Asuma Sarutobi to flow into his weapons to increase their offensive might.
Via Six Paths Sage Mode, Naruto can utilize all Five Nature Transformations, as well as Yin–Yang Release. He can make perfect use of the latter to revitalise life-forces, heal whomever he touches, and even restore missing organs. This ability, however, has its limits as he was unable to fully restore Might Guy's leg after his use of Night Guy, or save Obito Uchiha from Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones.
With chakra from the Tailed Beasts, Naruto can also use Kekkei Genkai such as the Magnet Release, Lava Release, and Boil Release from Shukaku, Son Gokū, and Kokuō, respectively.

TOP-LEFT: Sage Art: Magnet Release Rasengan
LOWER-LEFT: Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken
RIGHT: Boil Release: Unrivalled Strength (Naruto uses in Manga only as of 4/11/2016)

pffft , , , i just realized Rasengan looks like Devil Fruit :v

no Spoiler alert :/

Currently, this answer is still spoiler?

Well, the Kurama is inside of Naruto, and Kurama's chakra natures are Wind and Fire, so I guess it would be fire.

This doesn't mean that Naruto has an inherited Fire chakra nature. If Kurama is Fire/Wind (which believe isn't fully cannon), then Naruto can merely tap into the Fire nature of Kurma; similar to how he taps into Shukaku's Magnet Release

I believe that Rasengan is a wind technic. To learn Rasenshuriken, Naruto has to focus on life energy.
So I believe there are two basic elements; one which Sasuke hiers the eyes which includes lightning and fire techniques, and Naruto's which is the body. He has more control over his physical strength, but if Naruto's second ability would be anything, it would be the life energy.

Rasengan is actually a dense mass of chakra without any chakra element attached to it.  Naruto learned Rasenshruiken by combining his wind chakra with the dense, swirling mass of chakra in the Rasengan technique.  Naruto's Sage mode allows him to make use of the Rasenshruiken by throwing it instead of by normal contact with an enemy, since he'd suffer the effects of the technique if he used it like he would a normal Rasengan.

Every ninja has at least two elements; Kekkei Genkai and Tota excluded as those have elements that combine to make a release form.
Naruto's second element while training with Yamato and Kakashi before learning sage mode, my guess would be water. Water beats Fire, wind beats lightning which is why in their clash on the rooftop the Rasengan did more damage than the Chidori, putting aside the fact the Chidori was meant to be a one-hit kill as lightning enhances your speed and striking power while wind enables you to cut better as with Asuma's knives cloaked in wind chakra.

There is no evidence to suggest anywhere that Naruto learned a second element before the battle with Madara.

Its completely false that "every ninja has at least two elements". The only basis to say that is the fact that Most Jonin have by the time they become Jonin have learned how to use more than 1 nature as said by Kakashi. Your natural element does not prevent you from using any other elements, but usually if you have more than one natural element, you also have a Kekkei Genkai, which are not released forms, but just combined elements. Also, The Rasengan is a non elemental Jutsu, it did more damage than the Chidori because its an explosive torrent of chakra, instead of a piercing stab.

Did Touka become human after being attacked in Root A?
In Tokyo Ghoul: Root A, after the wing-type Kagune of Touka was devoured by her own brother, she was not seen to use it again.
Did she become a human after that incident?

No, she is still a ghoul.
Ghouls can regrow their Kagune sacs, which is exactly what they did to Rize. Rize was kept restrained and bearly alive while they harvested her Kagune sacs and implanted them into dozens if not hundreds of humans, with only 3 known successes including Kaneki. You may also recall The fact that Jason had his sac eaten by Kaneki, but (I do not recall if the anime showed this) he still attacked Juzo before his death at Juzo's hands. His Kagune and body were turned into Juzo's Scythe, named after its source, Jason.
Touka is also shown to be still a ghoul in Tokyo Ghoul:re, the sequel to Tokyo Ghoul. So, rather, she just rarely actually uses her Kagune. She usually avoids fighting, and being an S-rank Ukaku type, she rarely needs to actually use her wings.

What is the order of the JoJo anime series?
My friend recommended me to watch JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, but when I googled it I found there are many series.
What is the order of the anime?

In the order of the events in the series it goes like this:

JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV) (This covers the Battle Tendecy Arc and the Phantom Blood Arc.)
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Stardust Crusaders
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Stardust Crusaders 2nd Season
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Diamond wa Kudakenai
Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai (OVA)
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Ougon no Kaze

All of the above are the main TV series. This anime also has the 90's version some movie, and an OVA.

JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (2000)
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken

Kind of pointless mention the Phantom Blood OVA as it doesn't exist anymore. It was only shown in theaters and was so poorly recieved it never got a home release and all of the footage of it was destroyed aside for a few small boot-leg phone captures.

The JoJo's Bizzare Adventure series (as in, the manga) as a whole is devided into 8 story arcs. 3 of these have been animated so far. I'm going to list these in order of release, but as far as order of viewing goes... Well, let's get to that when we get to that.
Also, it should be noted that all of these arcs, while sharing chronologial connetions (to a point), are rather self sustained and can be enjoyed even on their own.
The 1993 6 episode OVA starts at the middle of the 3rd plot line.
The 2000 7 episode OVA presents the beginning of the 3rd plot line, up to where to pervious OVA starts.
Both of these are are a bit of a relic, differ grately in animation style and production as a while and, well the first one just oozes early 90s anime style. As a whole (and even on their own) they tell a rather self sustained story, but only a small part of it.
The 2012 television series is the one that actually starts the story from the beginning. The first 26 episode season covers story arcs 1 and 2. Afterwards, starting at 2014, the series covered the 3rd arc in 48 episodes. (So, basicly doing what the OVAs did in third of the episode count.) The next season, apparently starting at April 2016, is palled to start covering the 4th arc.
So, where to start... If you want to get the whole story, I suggest the television series. It follows the manga quite faithfuly and is quite coherent in its presentation.
However, if you want to get a quick feel for what you'll be getting into, I'd suggest either of the OVAs (depending if you perfer the 90s style, or a more modern style). These OVAs cover the (arguably) most popular story arc in the series in a relatively short time. If you decide you want more, the TV series should still be enjoyable as it covers a lot of things (not limited to the 2 first story arcs) that the OVAs skip.
There's also an animated movie covering the 1st story arc. But it was apparently so bad that it was never officaly released outside theatres. From what I understand, there isn't a known, complete copy of the movie anywhere.

I don't understand why this answer isn't at the top.

The order of the series is:

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Diamond Is Unbreakable
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Vento Aureo
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure JoJolion

Part 9 isn't out and the creator says it might be the last JoJo series because so yeah

And what would this 'order' reflect? Chronological order? Release order? or something else all together?

@Dimitrimx Release order. Some parts of Stone Ocean occur before Stardust Crusaders.

Isn't it generational order?
