How can I check that a given anime is really over?
I have been frustrated recently when I watch the last existing episode of a given anime only to find out that the story is not over yet, and I will have to wait for another season (and who knows when that would be). Examples:

No Game No Life
Ao no Exorcist
Made in Abyss
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk

Checking No Game No Life in MyAnimeList, for example, I can see:

Status: Finished Airing
No other anime listed as "sequel"

I went to watch it, thinking it would be a full story in those 12 episodes, but guess what? The story is not over at all. Now here I am waiting for another season, that I don't even know when will come, if at all...
I know that whether a next season will be produced or not can't be predicted. The producers might decide it's not worth it for whatever reason. But some animes simply frustratingly end in the middle of the story. I was hoping that there was a place I could search for this information (if the anime is currently completed or "paused/canceled" in the middle of it). For example, I wouldn't have watched No Game No Life if I knew beforehand it was like that.
Since MAL's status of "Status: Finished Airing" is not what I want, how can I check that an anime is really over?
Notes: for my purposes, animes like Code Geass and Steins;Gate are to be considered complete, even though both of them have a new season coming, the already existing story is 100% complete (of course I only know this because I already watched them).

usually, almost every 12 episode anime is never really over unless it's an original anime (not a manga or light novel adaptation). And normally every original anime is finished after only 1 season, unless they decide to make a sequel. But there's no way for us to know this. You have to check the source material, be it a manga or light novel. Sequel is decided if the first season is well accepted and sells, so they couldn't tell if there will be a sequel or not just after finishing one season.

@Darjeeling thanks... I think I might have been a bit unclear though. Take No Game No Life again as an example. After watching the last episode, it is absolutely clear that there's more story to come. Of course, they might decide to not produce it, but as for the story itself, it is clear. I just don't want to start an anime that isn't finished. I was thinking that perhaps there was a list somewhere.

For example, if you ask me if No Game No Life is over, I would say with extreme certainity that it's not over. I was hoping that instead of, for example, asking a question here for every anime, I could simply take a look on a list or something.

I don't know if some other site actually have a list. Easiest way to tell from anime site such as MAL or Anime Planet is to check if it was original anime or not, almost every anime from manga or novel adaptation is not over after 12 episodes. Because usually the original source has more material than that.

@Darjeeling Yeah, but that would be just a guess, and even then it would only apply to animes with only one season. Gakusen Toshi Asterisk for example has two seasons and is still not over. But it's better than nothing I guess, thanks for the information anyway!

hey i thought there is part on the mal page that have "Related Anime", like "adaptation". i think you just need to see the mal page really carefully. for ngnl case, the adaptation ngnl's page stated that Published: Apr 25, 2012 to ?, Volume:unknown

My suggestion would be to look if there is source material. While I am not 100% sure, I think all the anime you list in the first list are based off the manga.
This process would involve a lot of wild speculation as such it may or may not be accurate and as such would only be served to guide.
To start using No Game No Life as an example, look on Wikipedia to see what it's first media form was, in this case

No Game No Life (Japanese: ノーゲーム・ノーライフ Hepburn: Nōgēmu Nōraifu) is a light novel series by Yū Kamiya.

as such it's very likely it would be following the Light Novels. Next, in the infobox on the right, look for the "Original run". If it's officially finished, it would have listed an end date. In this case, the Light Novel has

April 25, 2012 – present

However, if possible, see also if you can find another source. Baka Updates Manga has info on the Light Novel and under "Status in Country of Origin" it says

9 Volumes (Ongoing) + 1 Gaiden

Conclusion: No Game No Life's anime will not be the end of the series as its source material is still ongoing.

However, what happens if the source material is complete? Or you want to know if the anime is up to date with the source material? Well, this is simply looking up to the Anime airing dates to the source material's release dates. While not accurate, since anime takes time to produce and the source material could be coming out while it's being developed, it can help you see how much of the story isn't going to be told.
Using No Game No Life as an example, we see the anime's run-time was

April 9, 2014 – June 25, 2014

looking at the list of Light Novel Volumes we see that Volume 6 came out April 25, 2014, the only volume to come out in 2014. Since it also came out after the anime started airing, we can assume that there won't be any content of Volume 6 in it.
But can we narrow this down expecting 5 volumes of the light novel? Yes we can. For No Game No Life, Wikipedia has information on the anime

On July 27, 2013, Monthly Comic Alive announced the anime adaptation for No Game No Life was green lit. It is directed by Atsuko Ishizuka and animated by Madhouse. The series premiered on April 9, 2014 on AT-X;

going back to our volume list for the Light Novel, it seems we can rule out Volume 5 as it was released after the announcement of the anime, so now we have 4 volumes.
Conclusion: No Game No Life's anime at most should cover 4 out of 9 volumes that have been released to date.
Keep in mind however that the story content might be less, or it might deviate from the source material (e.g. the 2003 series of Full Metal Alchemist and fillers in long running anime)

Another title you mention in your question is Steins;Gate. It's a bit more complicated because its source material is a Visual Novel with multiple endings and routes. These tend to be a bit more complicated as sometimes an Anime inspired from a Visual Novel with multiple endings will only adapt one.
There are other times the source Visual Novel (or game) is linear, like Tears to Tiara and Utawarerumono. But if there are multiple games, it will only adapt one game, i.e. currently the Tears to Tiara anime only adapts the first game (particularly the PS3 release) and not the second game while there are multiple Utawarerumono anime as there are Utawarerumono games (some of the later games I think were inspired by the more recent anime. However, I'm not 100% sure)
However, sometimes this is made easy like with Fate/Stay Night with each route having been named and the more recently anime being named the same, such as Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works by Ufotable. We can assume it follows the Unlimited Blade Works route of the game while the upcoming Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel movies, also by Ufotable, will follow the Heaven's Feel Route. While this won't tell you which ending they may choose, knowing that there are 3 routes in Fate/Stay Night, you can get a rough guess that each of these is really just 1/3 of the whole story you have in the game.

The above however only works if your anime is based off a source material like a Light Novel, Manga or Game and can still be inaccurate without knowing the content of the source martial and the anime.
You can, however, ask a question here. For instance, I asked if Spice and Wolf followed the manga and learned that it actually follows the Light Novel and it adapts 1,2,3 and 5, skipping Volume 4.
for original anime like Code Geass, you can assume that it has finished. However, there are times where you can ask a question if it does continue but not asking when it'll come out. For Code Geass, while there was no R3 manga, there was Jet Black Renya and Akito of the Exiled manga which, while not R3, did expand on the Code Geass Universe.

In the end, this comes down to doing research on the release, airing and announcement dates, and making assumptions based on these and asking here if you want a definite answer on things like how loyal an anime follows its source material, exactly where it adapts to and which are filler content.

In addition to Memor-X's great answer, Japanese Wikipedia tends to have more info about this on their anime articles (and I have used it often as the source when referencing my answers here). Almost all anime articles on Japanese Wikipedia has テレビアニメ (TV anime, if it's media-mix) section and its 各話リスト (List of episodes). Sometimes, it also includes the original source cover on that table.
For example:

No Game No Life: on the last column (使用原作), it shows that the last volume of the original source (Light Novel) is Volume 3. However, since the LN goes beyond Volume 3, it concludes that the anime doesn't cover the whole story.

Ao no Exorcist: on the second-to-last column (原作), it shows that the last volume of the original source (Manga) is Volume 9 (including some anime original story). However, since the manga goes beyond Volume 9, it concludes that the anime doesn't cover the whole story.

But again, this is just another alternative, since it doesn't always have this information (e.g. Made in Abyss and Gakusen Toshi Asterisk)

Also, apparently MyAnimeList itself sometimes has this information on their Background section:

No Game No Life:

No Game No Life adapts the first three volumes of Yuu Kamiya's light novel series of the same title.

Ao no Exorcist:

Due to the fact that the source material is on-going, the anime adaption of Ao no Exorcist diverges from it at key points, leading to an anime-exclusive ending.

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (1st season):

It adapts the first three volumes of its light novel source material.

Although it doesn't mention the latest volume, at least it gives some clues that can be completed by researching about the current volume.
Also, it can also be used to make an assumption, such as "the 1st season of Gakusen Toshi Asterisk adapts the first 3 volumes, the 2nd season might adapt the next 3 volumes" (might be true or not, but if the current volume already went far enough, then the anime will probably not finish)

However, of course this only applies to animes that have finished airing unless there's already an official statement beforehand. For on-going series, it would be more difficult to guess if the anime will cover the whole story or not.

Why did not Conan tell Haibara about the liquor that made him restore to his original size as soon as possible?
In episode 177, "Reunion with the Black Organization", Conan asked Haibara to drink the liquor which made her restore to her original size, but why did not he tell her that the first time he met her or at least after he trusted her? This is a very important information which cannot be delayed.

I'm not sure why he kept it from Haibara, but at that point, it's very likely that he still didn't trust her. Haibara first appearance in manga is in chapter 176 and he told her about the wine in chapter 241. That's only 65 chapters apart, and in those 65 chapters there are only 5 cases of which that include Haibara. From Conan point of view, it was probably not enough time to trust her.

But even if he didn't trust her, I don't think there's a reason to kept it secret. They even want to find the drug data and hoping to create the antidote when Conan know that Haibara is the person who make APTX 4869. Unfortunately the data is gone so they can't make the antidote.

Remember that once your body develops an immunity against baiju thus you can't grow twice. Conan was probably thinking that it might be useful in the fell clutch of circumstance.
Plot-wise, if Haibara already drank baiju and so, if Haibara wasn't in adult form, Conan and Haibara will be unprotected and might die. Since they have this plot immunity, then that won't happen.

Why doesn't Minato use the Eight Trigrams Sealing on himself?
In "Naruto's Birth", why didn't Minato just use Eight Trigrams Sealings? Instead, he used it on Naruto to seal the Yang-half, but used the Reaper Death Seal, which ultimately cost him his life, on himself to seal the Yin-half.
I'm kind of a noob about this, but I don't see any reason why he wouldn't just do that.

I think the sealing of a Bijuo could only be performed on a child. as we see all of the Jinchurikies are selected when they are kids and then became Jincurikies.

@Henjin but he sealed half of Kurama into himself...

@JohnD because he was sure he was gonna die after that. maybe it cant be controlled when the sealing is performed on an adult

The reason to that is because Minato knows that "Uchiha Madara"

 (in quote as it was actually Tobi/Uchiha Obito)

will definitely pose danger, and Naruto would need extra power to fight Madara. Thus he planned to put the less dangerous part of Kyuubi (the Yin part) into Naruto using Hakke no Fūin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Sealing) on Naruto because he wanted Naruto to slowly get accustomed to Kyuubi's power. This was done by deliberately designing so that the seal would weaken overtime, so that slowly, bits of Kyuubi's power would leak and be accessible by Naruto. Of course as a safeguard, he also gave the key to strengthen the seal into the toad Gerotora and left it with Jiraiya. Other than that he added an extra security measure by sealing part of his chakra into Naruto and make it so that it would activate if Naruto was about to turn into Kyuubi and re-seal the Kyuubi.
As noted by Killer B, the seal used on the Kyuubi was of greater quality, thus better sealing strength than Tekkou Fuuin used on the Hachibi. It is reasonable to say that Hakke no Fuuin Shiki was the strongest sealing technique that Minato knows that he can modify so that it weakens a long period of time.
So, the reason why Hakke no Fuuin Shiki was used with Naruto was clear. Now, to the meat of the question. Why didn't Minato seal the other half of the Kyuubi that he sealed into himself with the same seal and instead opted to use Shiki Fuujin.
Shiki Fuujin was a very strong sealing technique. It was thought to be unbreakable since the technique seals the life of the intended target and caster into the Death God's belly. It was only after an extensive research by Orochimaru that he finally discovered the way to unseal it.
Minato used Shiki Fuujin to seal the more evil, thus more dangerous part of Kyuubi into himself using Shiki Fuujin was probably because he believed that no one can/would be able to discover how to unseal it. Since he was dying and the Shiki Fuujin doesn't weaken over time, the seal was perfect to be used to seal the Kyuubi, making sure that the Yang part of Kyuubi would never shows up on the world ever again.
As can be seen with Nohara Rin's case, if a Jinchuuriki was killed, the Bijuu would also die and would be revived at a random location after a while. This is also consistent with the fact that Akatsuki would only weaken and not kill the Jinchuuriki before extracting the Bijuu.
If Minato used Eight Trigrams sealing to seal the Kyuubi into himself, as sealing the whole Kyuubi into Naruto was not possible since Naruto was an infant, the sealed half of Kyuubi would return to the world after Minato's death, which is should be avoided, as that half would likely to target Naruto to get the other half back. That Yang half would also be in danger of being hunted by other ninja villages and the Akatsuki. That is why Minato opted to use Shiki Fuujin, so that it would be sealed permanently.

Power of Silver Fang (Bang)
I was watching the anime and I noticed in the episode where the meteorite was about to hit earth, Silver Fang or Bang still standing beside Genos. As far as the animated serial goes, just before Saitama is about to enter the scene, Bang's expression changes slightly as if he is about to do something.
Also, in some later episode, he hypothesizes what would have happened if he used the fist of flowing water on the meteorite? How much exactly is Bang's power and could he had destroyed the meteor?

To compare any character with Saitama is pointless. And to give a measure of the power level Bang has, it would mean manga spoilers and opinions..

@EroSɘnnin  Actually, Bang defeated Saitama in Stone paper scissor.

@DuttaA He won that because of technique and prediction. The writers used that scene to show how experienced bang is. His flowing water technique enabled him to win every time despite the overwhelming difference in power/speed, this scene should not be used as a basis for comparing their power as it was used to show how power and speed is the only thing Saitama has which was not enough here

@DuttaA: you're saying that could be used as a point of comparison of power level? It seems quite unrelated to the question at hand.

@EroSɘnnin i just am speculating bang's power just like people speculate saitama's power

@DuttaA: with his stone paper scissors game skill?

@EroSɘnnin most ppl got my question wrong..i am not asking for saitama's power to be compared with bang...i am just asking bang's power ....like whether he could have destroyed the meteorite..defeated sea king, etc

Well if you're trying to compare Saitama and Bang's power it's pointless. In one of the specials when Saitama goes to his Dojo, Bang admits himself that Saitama is way more powerful. Plus we don't know the limitations of Saitama's power. On the other hand, he's very likely stronger than Genos based on the fact that he's rank 3 in the S class of Heros and his experience and technique. Also if you watch the last episode where the S class Heros fight the monster, Bang seemed to be slightly stronger and fair slightly better than the other Heros like Atomic Samurai.
I'd say Bang is very likely stronger than all the S class Hero's below his ranking. However, Tatsumaki appears to be stronger than him.

Where can I find a list of Yen Press shoujo ai/yuri titles?
I've been building a list of the shoujo ai/yuri manga & light novels so that I can have an idea of where to get them and how much does they cost. On Seven Seas Entertainment's site, they have a yuri tag
While not shoujo ai/yuri, when I added K-On, I was reminded about Yen Press, but there's no tag system on their website. When I do a search for "yuri", I only get Eclair. Under sub-genres, they have "Gay & Lesbian", but looking up "lesbian" returns nothing (since I'm not looking for shounen ai/yaoi).
Where can I find a list of Yen Press shoujo ai/yuri titles? This way, I can search the title up on Yen press to find where I can buy it.
Note: If Eclair is actually the only shoujo ai/yuri title Yen Press has localized, then a resource is still useful in case searching for "yuri" on the site fails later on.

Eclair isn't the only one on their site. Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo would surely qualify, and Saki arguably would. Probably others I'm not aware of (I don't follow licensing much). Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to do a tag-based search on their site or to search their mangaupdates list by tag.

Kiss and White Lily for My Dearest Girl
Eclair
Cocoon Entwined
Killing Me
Our Wonderful Day
Whenever Our Eyes Meet...
Yuri Life

I know there are some series where yuri isn't the main focus but it's there, like Scum's Wish and Murciélago. And some where it's subtext, like the K-ON series.

I appreciate your list however this doesn't answer the question of where i can find a list as if Yen Press releases any more yuri, your answer will be out of date

Worst case, there's no existing list outside there. But at the very least, we can make (and possibly collaborate on) this answer as the list of Yen Press' shoujo ai/yuri titles...

Which Yuno ends up with Yuki?
I understand that Yuno and Yukiteru end up together, but I was wondering if it was 2nd-world Yuno (the yandere Yuno) or 3rd-world Yuno (the sane Yuno)?

it is 3rd world Yuno, read 1st paragraph

It is the 3rd world Yuno, as I have described here, in the first paragraph.

 As the 1st world Yuno die stabbing herself. It is 1st world Yuno not the 2nd world Yuno because she was killed by 1st world Yuno(correct me here if i am wrong)

What is the song that plays when Lelouch sees the memories of C.C. in episode 11?
In Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch episode 11, around 16:00 mark, there is a song that starts to play when Lelouch sees the memories of C.C. Again, in the same episode at 19:50, the same song plays for the second time.
I didn't recall hearing this song before episode 11, and episode 13 at 7:35 as well.
I couldn't find the soundtrack from OSTs. What is it?

Additional Info;
Again in episode 11 at 19:50 same song plays for second time, For me I didnt hear this song before episode 11 and I am not sure if this song plays in future episodes as well.
PS. I Watched both episodes about 1 year ago and now I wanted to watch them one more time.

Additional Info: As I checked further episodes I learned that it plays in episode 13 at 7:35 as well still couldnt find the soundtrack, will look for it in further episodes

It's an unreleased piece from the soundtrack called Sins and Astonishment. You can find it here:
Code Geass: Unreleased Album - 07 Sins and Astonishment

idk what u talking about the song playing for the second time. but the song that played at the psychedelic trip scene was a song by hitomi kuroishi, titled: Strange Girl.

What is the meaning behind the anime title "The World God only Knows"?
Keima is a Capturing God, we all know that. After finishing the manga, I'm still confused by the title.
Can anyone please enlighten me?

If I remember correctly, Keima mentioned this phrase in the final arc

I think it means "the world only god knows". "God only knows" is an old way of language. So, I infer that since the setting (plot device) of this anime is about "capturing girls" , it is sort of a world that only Keima (god of capturing) knows.

I think that the meaning behind this title is that keima(God) has to help girls escape from their dark states using love and I think it’s telling that the world god only knows is to spread love to each other

I think it's because Keima is the god  his own world of dating simulator games  and it is stated that Keima is the god of conquests.

God is referring to him and the world god only knows is referring to the digital world and how he perceives it, many people know the digital world but not everyone has his perception on it, or it could be referring to how he sees the world as a dating simulator game and how he sees getting a girl as a game and no one else has the same perception as him of the fact that it's a game you might think that's not a world but world actually means his perception on it let's make this simpler and say the world the god of dating Sims only knows cus he's not a god just a dating sim god they were implying that in the title for sure and world doesn't mean an actual world cus that wouldn't make sense the world only the god of dating Sims would know is him thinking of capturing girls as a game   but hey that's just a theory a anime theory, in all honesty I think the only thing they were implying with this title was the world only the god of dating Sims knows as in a viewpoint that only the god of dating Sims has yeah I'm pretty sure of this cus when you think of it like the world only the god of dating Sims knows they don't mean world in a literal sense so it must mean a viewpoint only the god of dating Sims has what that viewpoint is idk but this has to be what it means, edit: nvm it was the god of conquests not dating Sims so this must mean when they say the world god only knows they must mean the world god of conquests only knows so this must mean the world inside his head where he sees conquering woman as a dating sim in his head because The world the god of conquests only knows must be his viewpoint of conquering woman as a game or his world of only 3d woman as there was a point where he envisioned himself in one of his dating Sims I could easily be wrong though this answer took me a lot and I mean a lot of thinking and it felt like my brain was gonna stop working but I came to a conclusion even if it is wrong it gives you a plausible scenario where the name could mean these options which is better then knowing nothing about the name and what it could mean so a plausible conclusion is better then none at all

Sorry, I feel this answer is hard to read and understood. I tried to edit and improve it, but I'm not sure how because I couldn't understand it in the first place. If anyone thinks they can grasp the meaning and improve it, then feel free to [edit] it.

Why can't anime studios create animes for foreigns audiences?
For example, to originally script dialogues in English and set the story in a country of any and the characters are non-Japanese.
If anime became world-renowned, why can't animation studios bother to create animes that target foreign audiences rather than its own Japanese audiences?
For example, the video game Resident Evil is produced by Capcom, a Japanese video game developer, but the game was created for American audiences because originally the English acting was recorded. Also, Afro Samurai which was animated by Gonzo was an anime that originally recorded English voice acting, so I would presume that anime was catered to American audiences.
So I find it strange why Japanese animation studios can't even produce animes to target non-Japanese audiences.

i believe the problem is the culture

@Gagantous if a rich american for example paid an anime studio to make an anime to carter american audience wouldnt that be possible?

well netflix surely did that, https://www.polygon.com/2017/10/16/16486304/netflix-anime-original-films

They can. But they won't

Afro Samurai is one of those cases which had an American hand in, something that can't be said for alot of anime that's made for the Japanese. ofcause Samuel L. Jackson does like anime. hentai too so he might have been a fan of the manga

also there are plenty of anime to be set outside japan and have non-japanese characters. Emma. Jojo's and Lupin all are set outside Japan. Fullmetal Alchemist and Spice and Wolf are European inspired. Character wise Victor and Yuri in Yuri on Ice are Russian and Alice in Kin-iro Mosaic is English, they went so far in the anime to base Alice's home in England from a real house

@Memor-X yes those works were set in those countries but were originally recorded in japanese voices only so the question argues about cartering animes to foreign audiences by recording voice acting in whatever language originally and set them in that country,but Afro Samurai was actually set in Japan and most of the characters were Japanese and still it was originally recorded in english voices

@DanielRigg related
can an animated show created outside japan called anime ?

and this one What differentiates anime from regular cartoons?

@DanielRigg in regards to Voice Talent, generally Japanese Studios don't have access to English Voice Talent and it's companies like Funimation, who do the localization and distribution for english who do have access. it's my understanding that for the most part Japanese studios have little control over what English actors are used.

btw, Shelter ( not  anime tho... but i think it's still related ) were made to foreign audience

also i think i recall reading that japanese voice talent is comparably cheaper than english voice actors so it makes more sense to use cheaper resources

@Memor-X Still look at Afro Samurai I don't see any Japanese voice cast for it which proves that the voice acting was entirely done in English and it was animated by the Japanese anime studio Gonzo and has all anime visuals

I'd say that it's not that they can't, but rather that there simply isn't much incentive for them to do so. It just doesn't make much business or financial sense to target a foreign audience, not when a Japanese audience is much closer, more familiar, and less costly to target.
To target foreign audiences, I would imagine that an animation studio would need to expend a lot of additional time and effort on things like dealing with overseas licensors, TV networks, distributors, as well as having to handle language barriers and translations (since I'd imagine that most people working in a Japanese animation studio wouldn't be fluent in English). Even for typical anime, studios tend to avoid hiring native speakers of foreign languages if they need a voice for a character with a foreign language, because it's generally much cheaper to hire someone born in Japan. So, if even one foreign voice actor is too costly, then the entire production being in a foreign language would be out of the question.
Okay, but what if we just let the studio produce everything in Japanese, a language that the staff are all familiar with, and then let another company handle the translations for the foreign audience? Well, if the original language is in Japanese, they might as well just target it to Japan in the first place! The localization is probably best left to companies in the target country who natively know the language anyway (or else we might get something like the Engrish in the Psycho Pass Movie). Also, as Memor-X points out, Japanese studios for the most part have little control over which English actors are used and how the English localization and distribution are done.
That's not to say that anime targeted at foreign audiences have never happened. The barrier is just higher. As you and Memor-X mention, Afro Samurai was a production that happened thanks to Samuel L. Jackson's interest and contribution. Gagantous also points out that Netflix has financed a number of original anime series that seem to be animated by Japanese studios, and like with other Netflix original series, are released worldwide all at once.
So, as these examples have shown, Japanese animation studios are capable of creating anime for foreign audiences. It's just that in most non-exceptional cases, they wouldn't have much reason to do so.
Note that if the incentive is there (e.g. either personal interest or with investment from a foreign party, like with Samuel L. Jackson and Samurai Afro), it is doable. After all, if there's a foreign producer already in the loop, then the entrance barrier is much lower.
While Japanese anime studios haven't really created any foreign-targeted anime on their own, they have however been involved in a number of foreign animation productions. So in a way, I suppose you could say that Japanese animation studios have (co-)created a number of anime (for some definition of anime) for foreign audiences. For example:

Batman: The Animated Series was produced by Warner Bros. Animation, but animated by various overseas animation studios, including the Japanese studios Spectrum Animation, Sunrise, Studio Junio, and TMS Entertainment (as well as various other studios from South Korea, Hong Kong, Spain, and Canada).
The Animatrix, a compilation of nine animated short films based on The Matrix trilogy, was produced by the Wachowskis, but a large number of the films were animated by Studio 4°C and Madhouse from Japan.
Transformers Animated (I watched this series growing up!) was produced by Cartoon Network Studios, but animated by the Japanese studios MOOK DLE, The Answer Studio, and Studio 4°C.
Legend of Korra had some parts of it animated by Studio Pierrot from Japan (as well as Studio Mir from Korea).
Miraculous Ladybug is produced by French studios Zagtoon and Method Animation, in collaboration with De Agostini Editore from Italy, Toei Animation from Japan, and SAMG Animation from South Korea. Actually, it was originally going to be a 2D anime-style series (see this trailer for a taste of what could have been), but for design reasons, they switched to 3D CGI animation later on.
Also, Toei Animation has actually been commissioned to provide animation for lots of American studios in the past.

As a final side note, I'd like to add that there is precedent in other media  where the producers mainly target domestic audiences over local audiences when there's money to be had. For example, Hollywood and China.

My answer to this would first have to be a question right back at you:
Why would they?
Really, where is the incentive? Anime became world renown without doing any of that, so why would they start now?
I would argue that it's that style, bred by their foreign sensibilities and culture that made it so popular in the rest of world to begin with.
Now, the second thing is, you are wrong. No, they probably don't script dialogues in English, but that's a bit of a huge hurdle to put in their lap when they are already strapped for time on most projects.
However, they definitely know of the Western/other audiences and take them input things (it can be general themes, or jokes that clearly wouldn't be in there if it wasn't for such audiences) related to that.
The point being that they are aware and influenced - in small or big ways depending on the project - by that part of their audience.
The proof of that is that you have a few projects that get slammed by Japanese fanbases for seemingly altering parts of their work to cater to western sensibilities. That is something more often seen in the video games industry, because Western influence is a lot more direct and palpable (to the people making money from it) in that industry.
The third thing is, to follow up, that they still make most of their money, at least initially, from the home market. Simulcast and other such appearances of anime in a more direct manner in the west are bound to make these influences more numerous, whereas it used to be that the only thing Western audiences brought was goodies/DVD sale's income.
The fourth and last thing is, in most cases, this isn't something that depends on the animation studios at all.
To this day, most anime that are actually made come from manga (a rapidly growing number from light novels, and even mobile games, and some, completely original), a market that is even more centralized to Japan. And the popularity(and therefore the likeliness for it to be made into an anime) of a manga is almost solely based on the reviews/scores people give to the magazine publishers, chapter by chapter.
It's not to say that Western influence isn't there though. A clear example would be Watamote, I encourage you to look into the popularization of this specific manga/anime. How different the reception was in America and Japan.

When anime is exported overseas, very little of the money makes it back to the creators. Most of the profit is absorbed by the companies that buy the international rights to the show and then proceed to sell them to various western networks.
Unless an anime becomes massively popular (DBZ, Pokémon, SM, Naruto, AoT, etc) the bread and butter of the anime studios is the local Japanese market.
If you want an anime made for America, look at the anime style American made cartoons. Avatar, the last Airbender comes to mind.

Why can Ten-Tails jinchuriki stop the reincarnation of Edo Tensei ninja?
In one of Naruto's episode, Obito ―after becoming a Ten-Tails' jinchuriki― was able to stop a reincarnated (Edo Tensei) ninja (4th and 2nd Hokage) from recreating its body once it was destroyed.
What's the special thing that allows a Ten-Tails' jinchuriki to do so?

It is called Gudoudama or Truth-seeking ball which was gained by Obito after being Ten Tailed Jinchuriki.

Truth-Seeking Balls are hand-sized orbs of black chakra that users can use to alter its shape to serve for a variety of purposes.
When one awakens Six Paths Senjutsu, Truth-Seeking Balls appear and float behind their back. This can be done by becoming the jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails or by entering Six Paths Sage Mode.

And stated in its usage

Truth-Seeking Balls are composed of all five basic natures, in a way similar to yet surpassing kekkei genkai and kekkei touta. If imbued with Yin–Yang Release, they can be used to neutralise ninjutsu and by extension become impervious to it; this negates the regenerative qualities of the Impure World Reincarnation, making it possible to kill or permanently damage those who have been reincarnated.

Why do Ran and Heiji wear the same clothes?
When Kazuha first appeared in Detective Conan series, she notices that Ran and Heiji wear the same clothes each time they met.
What is the idea of this? They are not in love. Is their strong relation with Shinichi related?

It was a coincidence, but it served as a plot point to showcase Ran's personality: when Kazuha accused her of purposely wearing the same clothes as Heiji, she replied by removing her shirt even though she was sitting in a car in a public space.

Preventing manga books from having yellow pages
I just started collecting mangas I wonder how am I going to prevent them from having yellow pages. Currently, I store them in a glass shelf without a cover.
Are there any other ways?

IIRC yellowing (which is a general problem with books) is related to the quality of the paper used by the printers; I'm not sure how much of it can be avoided after the fact.

If you don't want to have problems with preserving the book, read/buy digital manga, but that's a different question and personal preference :)

Although I have no manga, I do have a large comic book collection. I protect them with "comic book bags" (or sleeves) and anti-acidic cardboard.  They are stored in special boxes designed for comic books.  These supplies are also available and fitted for manga.  You can store 1 or 2 books per bag.  If two, you place them back to back, with an anti-acidic card in-between.
There are several vendors.  The one I use is Bags Unlimited, which has been around since 1976.  They have a huge number of "archival supplies" for comics, books, CDs, magazines, you name it.
I just read @Maroon's comment. Once yellowed and brittle, you can't do much about it.  But the purpose of the anti-acidic paper is to minimize damage to the books in the first place by helping neutralize the acids in the paper stock of the books.

Yellow pages is a symptom of sun damage, more or less what happens when you leave something exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time.  A good example of this is if you ever go to a comic shop and they have posters in the window that are really faded, it's the minor amounts of radiation from the sun more or less bleaching those colors away.
A good way to combat and prevent this is to keep them in a bookshelf and keep them organized, and if there are windows in the room just don't leave the blinds open all day.  It wont 100% prevent this issue, as @Maroon pointed out certain papers will just do this overtime.  However speaking from my experience doing this is an easy and effective way to help prevent this.

Can I watch Naruto Shippuden movies anytime?
I barely started watching anime, and Naruto was the first anime I watched. I'm currently in the middle of Naruto Shippuden (episode 71).
Before I go on, do I have to watch any of the movies, or can I watch them anytime? If it's necessary, what's the order to watch the movies?

u/IdRatherBeLurking's comment on Reddit shows the episode number that you should have watched up to before-hand. That's if you don't want any spoilers. Quoted below;

Part 1

Clash in the Land of Snow - after episode 101
Legend of the Stone of Gelel - after episode 160
Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom - after episode 196

Shippūden
Some of these films don't directly follow an episode, so I've deduced
  where they are in chronological order based on release date.

Naruto Shippūden the Movie - after episode ~23
Bonds - after episode ~70
The Will of Fire - after episode ~121
The Lost Tower - after episode 169
Blood Prison - after episode ~221
Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie - after episode 271
The Last - Naruto the Movie - between chapters 699 and 700 of the manga

Sahan De Silva's comment is right by saying that it won't confuse you regarding the storyline as they are their own short stories.

Is "Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de" based on an alternative setting of "Majikoi"?
So, I just finished watching Kima ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de. I watched this because it said "Alternate Setting: Majikoi".
It was a good anime and all, but, my question is how do these anime relate? All I've managed to find is that they were developed and published by Minato Soft.

Apparently - and I have no knowledge of these things beyond what I just looked up on VNDB - the character "Kuki Ageha" is present in both. Perhaps other characters are as well. The relation graph on VNDB may prove informative.

@senshin having read both novels, there is not much more to say than that. They're clearly in the same universe and a couple characters are shared, but the stories are basically completely unrelated.

@LoganM I found an interesting statement on Majikoi's Japanese Wikipedia. Apart from same universe and Kuki's family, it is also mentioned that Majikoi (or Majikoi S?) is 2 years after Kimiaru. If that's the case, then I think it can be said that it's indeed an alternative setting. However, I can't say much because I don't touch the series at all.

@AkiTanaka Personally I wouldn't use the term "alternate setting" even though MAL does. That to me seems to cover cases like Futakoi and Futakoi Alternative or Muv-Luv Extra and Unlimited.  I'd say this is more a case of "same setting" or at least "same universe". To me MAL's use of the terms is a bit unintuitive but maybe others don't find it confusing. In any case I'll write an answer in the next couple days if no one else does first.

Does the Grand Magic Games have referees?
The Grand Magic Games was said to be around for years, but they don't seem to have any referees. They don't have anyone who's able to sense that someone from the crowd got rid of Lucy's spell and, that was a huge one.
What's to stop a guild from having a bunch of people uses support magic on one of their wizards while they're in battle?

It seems like the pumpkin head (the king) was the referee for the Grand Magic Games that we see, but generally, the guilds that compete aren't Dark Guilds, so they don't have a reason for sabotage.
Raven Tail was just an exception, and one of the judges (the former council member) told the guest judge (council lacky) to keep a close eye on Raven Tail.
Also, there are no rules about torturing, so Lucy vs. Minerva fight was considered a Minerva's win.

just because they aren't a dark guild it doesn't mean that they don't want to win so a super competitive team (cough) Sabertooth (cough) would have a reason to either sabotage another team or support their own team

Why there was only one episode of Black Clover?
I have been following the manga of Black Clover and so far after few months, I came to know that there is an anime adaptation going on for this series.
When the first episode came, I was too excited that it started in anime but after 1 episode it's saying that the status is completed.
So why there was only 1 episode released for Black Clover? Is it true that status is completed? Also, are we expecting any more episodes in future?

I was looking for answers too. So only the one special episode? This Manga is too good not to animate, reminds me of Naruto "My way of magic" lol. But the anime is awesome hope they do heaps of seasons and turn out to be a popular anime series.

Your premise of the question is wrong!
The animated episode is NOT a series, but rather a single "Special Episode" bundled with the 11th Volume of the Manga. This is mentioned as much in MAL page for the episode. Afaik, it adapts the first chapter of the Manga. [Confirmed in Comments]
https://myanimelist.net/anime/33950/Black_Clover

The Episode "Black Clover" was screened at Jump Festa 2016 on November 27, 2016. The OVA was later bundled with the 11th volume of the manga, released May 2, 2017

In December 2016, there were talks about a TV adaptation of this Anime slated for release in 2017, however since only the OVA has been released, maybe they are testing the waters with the OVA release. The full series adaptation has "no official date yet"
Here is the ANN page for the same - Black Clover by Studio Pierrot - ANN.
Relevant Details.

While Viz Media's Weekly Shonen Jump Twitter account had originally stated that the anime would air in 2017, the Twitter account later redacted the statement and said the anime "doesn't have a date yet."

Thus, Black Clover's TV adaptation doesn't have a date yet, but should release in late 2017- early 2018.
UPDATE: As predicted Black Clover Season 1 is airing this Fall! Enjoy :)

According to Japanese Wikipedia, yes, it adapts the first chapter of the manga.

The anime series is set to release in October 2017 sometime. (Source: Crunchyroll)
Not too far away, but still a while away. Can't wait for it though. Hope this helps.
(Side note: This show is going to blow up after its first season. The manga is already pretty big.)

How do Celestial spirits have any time to recover while in the spirit world?
After the "Seven Years" arc in Fairy Tail, the Celestial Spirits throw a party for Lucy and her friends, and when they leave, they discover that 1 day in the spirit world equals to 3 months in the real world. If that is so, then 1 and a half hours in the real world equals 1 minute in the Celestial world, so how do Celestial Spirits have time to recover?
For example, in the "Seven Years" and "S-Class" arc, Lucy summoned Taurus to fight the voodoo doll guy and he gets annihilated, but then she summons him to fight Hades/Precht and he was fine. By my calculation, he had maybe 1 or 2 minutes to recover before he was back in the fight.
Side note: this also means that Loke was banished for a whole whopping 12 days
and everyone on Tenrou was frozen in time for 28 days in the spirit world time.

This seems like a very minor plot hole. I say plot hole because, as long a the author doesn't explain it, it's fair to assume that he didn't realize it.
On the other hand, any future explanation could be something like "Since they are spirits in the spirit world, they regenerate very quickly any loss of health or stamina when they stay there. That kind of improvised explanation would efficiently retroactively fix everything and would no longer be a plot hole because it "sounds obvious".
The author might also already have this explanation (or another similar one), but is holding it until the time seems right, because most characters in fairy tail are very dumb for the sake of comedy, so they probably wouldn't think about such matters and nobody would be surprised they didn't. As for the few smart characters, they could think it is general knowledge and never bothered mentioning it yet.

Is it possible to understand the One Piece storyline by watching the movies only?
According to the Wikipedia, there are 13 One Piece movies.
As a new viewer to the series (haven't watched the anime at all), is watching all the movies enough to understand the storyline, or are there some specific movies that can be enjoyed without knowing the One Piece universe?

Why are you watching them?  There are some that are (non-canon) retelling of previous arcs and may bring you up to speed on the story faster.  There is (unless I missed something) only one canon movie.  There are several completely non-canon ones which may or may not be worth watching (opinion).

Im with Kaine. There are a lot of details they just assume you know about the world as a whole. Powers unlocked and explained in the main series are just used in the movies without explanation, and many are complex, confusing, or vague even with the explanation. You dont want to feel lost, but that is going to happen when you watch a movie that uses stuff established sporadically over hundreds of episodes without watching those episodes. Its like watching any of the starwars movies except 4 or 1, and expecting to know whats going on.

@Ryan Eh.... that is a different message than what I said.  You aren't wrong though.  I have no idea which movies (if any) explain the basics of devil fruits and things like that.

@kaine I was more so adding on other details than expanding your point. I also see a Opinion based close vote here. I know SE can be harsh and this question does seem lacking so I can't completely disagree. Not wanting to watch a series simply because it has so many episodes is not a valid reason to skip to the movies that are derived from it. Asking about if you will be confused doing so is not a very factual question. Certainly, you could just accept the things you don't understand and get away with it (like accepting Luffy is stretchy), or not do so and be very confused.

If you want to follow the story of One Piece, your only choice is either to watch the anime or to read the manga (you will complete it much faster since you can read a chapter in few minutes). Also a big bonus point for the manga is that there is no filler.
Regarding the movies, most of them are not-canon which means they don't fit in the story of One Piece. You can view them as a spin-off, which takes the existing characters and world setup but tells a totally different story that is in no way connected to the anime/manga.
So, in short, the only way to follow One Piece is either to read the manga or watch the anime.

One Piece movies are extra mini-arcs beyond the original storyline. The movies have all the main characters and Oda (the author) has been involved with some of them, but they are not part of the main storyline.
If you want to understand the One Piece world, read the manga or watch the anime.

Why did Yukine stop stinging Yato?
Some people are unable to control their natural urges, so if Yukine was thinking that way and stung Yato, why is it after the whole issue he stopped stinging? And if he continues to feel that way, what then will happen to Yato?
How did the stinging just stop?

well, he basically learned his lesson; his character changed a lot after the whole incident (Hiyori helping him afterwards is a big reason too); He is, afterall a teenage boy~
if he would continue to "sting" Yato... [Spoilers avoided] (you should see season 2 if you haven't already, since it covers that in the anime with Bishamon)

Will playing "Eyes of Heaven" without reading the manga spoil the player majorly?
I have been interested in getting JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven for PS4 but I'm afraid of story spoilers.
Is the story mode of Eyes of Heaven a supplement for the manga, or do I need to read the books first to understand?

The game has a story mode that literally starts at the ending of part 3 and it pretty much spoils all deaths in the JoJo universe.
I also think it has a lot of details (like references, interactions between specific characters, special moves and even specific variations of gameplay) that can be enjoyed and understood only by someone that read the manga and knows about JoJo.
So I suggest you read the manga if you don't want to get some nasty spoilers.

Nooooo! It will be a bad idea. They will tell you lots of things about JoJo that you don't know and the story will reveal spoilers that will be major.

What is the song when the female titan showed up at Levi's group in episode 18?
I started watching Attack on Titan and this song started playing in slow motion when the "Female Titan" showed up at Levi's group, around 20:30 of episode 18.
What song is this?

Well, I did some digging, and this is what I found out. Shazam identified the song as:
進撃st-Hrn-Gt-Pf20130629巨人
by 澤野弘之.You can also find it under the title" Rittai Kidou Remix".
Plz listen and correct me if I am wrong because I have also found other tracks as well. But this one was the most accurate, according to my listening experience.

Rather then a company published manga, can a self-published manga become an adapted anime?
Did it ever happen before when self-published mangas become adapted into an anime without having mangas published by companies?

"Can" Of course it can. If someone with enough money would be crazy enough to sponsor the production. But it would be extremely risky. It would be cheaper and safer to publish the manga (or novel if it is writing).

Money is involved in almost every step.  Sure, being self published and able to get an anime would be phenomenal, but it requires an inordinate amount of resources.

@Makoto compared to self published or published(by company) manga why is it hard for a self published manga to get a anime adaptation?

Actually, there are many self-published manga (doujinshi) that got adapted into anime, but most of them are OVA/ONA which are not streamed on the TV, only in form of VOD/CD/DVD/BD. That said, the reason is popularity & money. Most of them are already popular, and producing an anime adaptation may be worthwhile. For the rest though, it might hurt their financial.

Anime Planet have based-on-doujinshi tag although the list is probably not complete

There are a few anime adaptations of doujins and Artist CGs, like Z-Ton's "A Beautiful Greed" and Maron Maron's "Yareruko! Densha Ecchi", both of these are NSFW. Also that short anime "Getsuyoubi no Tawawa" was based on illustrations Himura Kiseki posted on pixiv that later got released as compilations on Comiket, so this is a doujin as well. Those are the only ones that come to mind at the moment but I'm pretty sure there should be a few more. It doesn't happen that often though, it's more of an exception to the norm.

Haibane Renmei supposedly was based off a doujin the director wrote too, I think, but I'm unsure of the details.

Why did Midoriya come last in the quirk assessment test when there were others worse than him?
In season 1 episode 3, Midoriya is said to be placed last when compared to all other 20 candidates. Although I agree with him losing to most, I fail to identify how he could lose to a few of the candidates like Hagakure (the invisible girl).
I mean, which activity could she have done better than Midoriya considering that Midoriya had even trained for 10 months and that her quirk doesn't give her any apparent advantage in this test?

They're probably more trial. In manga only 5 out of 8 trial are shown. Maybe Hagakure and others topped the other 3

I agree Midoriya was shown excessively weak during these trials and that his training should have give him the upper hand on many of his comrades. However, we have to consider his nervous nature. Maybe the pressure and the fear of using his quirk or to loose without using it made him over thinking about it. This way, he lost his confidence and performed bad because of it.

He also had to do all the trials with a broken finger and the pain that goes with it.

Why wouldn't you assume that Hagakure did similar levels of training?

Even if Hagakure had did similar levels of training she doesn't have any event where she could leave out an outstanding performance. Even Izuku came 2nd in one event(Ball throw) and I don't think there were any event that would let here leave an outstanding result.

@Nevios Add that others had their quirk for several years giving them an advantage and this would be a nice answer :D

We don't know for sure.
As far as I'm aware, this is never explicitly addressed later on in the series.
However, I think we can hazard a guess based on a few other factors seen during the quirk assessment test.
While Midoriya may have performed as well or even better than students like Hagakure that gain no real physical advantage from their quirk, we have to remember that Midoriya's quirk injured him severely during the ball throw. While it was not as bad as Aizawa may have expected (just his finger versus his whole arm) it's entirely possible that Aizawa deducted points due to this injury. This is a quirk assessment test, after all, and breaking a finger after merely throwing a ball is a severe disadvantage to a quirk no matter how you look at it.
Hagakure, meanwhile, may not have had any real major advantages like Midoriya, but her quirk had no disadvantages either. I would assume she's also fairly strong herself, as mentioned in the comments to your question, so it's not unreasonable to think she had a similar (or even better) performance when compared to Midoriya in the contests that neither had any advantage in.
This would apply to the other students with quirks that do not enhance their physical strength as well, like Koda, Shoji, or Jiro, among others.
Considering that Aizawa was going to expel Midoriya before he thought to use only his finger, I'd say Midorya actually did quite well to be placed last instead.

My point here is, if Midoriya hasn't broken his finger on purpose, he would have beaten Hagakure without needing his quirk. Therefore, he never needed to break his finger in the first place, because he was clearly in a better physical condition than she was.

Welcome to Anime & Manga Stack Exchange, a Q&A site about anime, manga, and related media. According to the other answer, Midoriya broke his fingers because he used his quirk, I'm not sure if that can be considered "on purpose"? Did you mean he shouldn't use his quirk during the quirk assessment test instead?

Can Logia Devil Fruit Users get hot or cold?
Can Logia Devil Fruit users get hot or cold?
Examples:

Mera Mera No Mi (Fire Devil Fruit) - If this user were to be walking on an island of snow, would they be able to control their body temperature and stay warm (internally)? Or would they get cold like a normal person?
Yuki Yuki no Mi (Snow Devil Fruit) - If this user were to be walking on a desert island, would they be able to control their body temperature and stay cool (internally)? Or would they get hot like a normal person?

Hi! Welcome to Anime and Manga StackExchange, Denna! Not-a-One-Piece-reader here, but I have a question regarding the clarity of your post : By "control their body temperature", what do you mean? By making use of their Devil Fruit powers as they usually do (e.g summoning Fire / Snow) or by an intern process?

I mean by internally staying warm or cold.

I don't think they get hot or cold. Some of them can even change the climate around them
When Ace came to Drum Kingdom (Snow Island) there was no snow.

Chapter 154 To Alabasta
Also remember Akainu and Aokiji battle, they divide the climate on the Island. In ten day they permanently changed the weather on Punk Hazard, turning one side into a frozen wasteland and other side left in a blaze
Smoker also doesn't seems to get hot or cold in Alabasta or Punk Hazard. He wore his jacket the same way on those island - he left it unbuttoned. The same goes to Crocodile when he was in Freezing Hell floor and Blazing Hell floor in Impel Down. Although he only there for a moment.

But we do see smoker experiencing cold at punk hazard as in conclusive evidence from his outfit ? And we do have other kind of logia types other than the dichotomy of heat and cold.

no, he left his jacket unbuttoned, when Luffy, Law, and Zorro properly wore them, but then again, he still left his shirt unbuttoned when he was in Tashigi body

But does he normally wear a jacket at all? Not just that , the probability of them changing the weather is restricted to just to a select few?

I'll edit to clarify

I understand that they can change the temperatures around them, but can they change their temperatures internally to stay warm or cold? Without actually showing the use of their powers openly.

like I said, Smoker and Crocodile didn't seems to get hot or cold in extreme temperature location. They did it without actually showing the use of their powers openly. They just casually walk in there

Smoker is definitely not relying on his powers to survive cold. (Spoiler) When he and Tashigi changed bodies, he lost all of his powers, yet his jacket was still unbuttoned

How did Alluka Zoldyck obtain her powers?
Due to some recent news about the Hunter x Hunter manga being continued, I decided to re-watch the anime and some question popped into my head. I haven't finished it yet, but I don't remember any explanation of the origin of Alluka's power the first time I watched it.
I've watched some videos but they don't really explain my question. I also couldn't find an answer here.
Was the origin of Alluka's power ever explained in the anime or perhaps in the manga?

Would it satify you to claim that she is a "genius" nen user as described in the yorknew city arc?  The main example is the future telling girl in that arc whose powerful ability appeared with no real training and she doesn't have that much control over it.  I don't know if this has been directly stated in canon so I'm not comfortable putting this as an answer.  (She could have some weird backstory we don't know yet.)

wouldn't this be a future question ? i think the powers will get resolved only after we get to explore the dark continent and its creatures more

It has been confirmed that Nanika came from the Dark Continent and evidence suggests that Nanika is Ai, the desire of co-dependence.
As to how Nanika started possessing Alluka, we don't know for sure but seeing how Zigg Zoldyck went to the Dark Continent, it is possible he brought it back to the outside world.

Alluka isn't a human. She's a different being which there are six of them in the world that are known of. Not sure, but I think they came from the Dark Continent.

While this fact might be correct, could you clarify on how she obtained her power? Did you mean because she is from the Dark Continent (why)? Consider [edit] and expand the answer.

Have "Operation Victory Arrow" or "Brave Witches" been released officially outside Japan?
Have Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow and/or Brave Witches (and its OVA) been released on Blu-ray or DVD with either English sub or dub?
I can only find Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow in Japanese exclusively while only finding Brave Witches DVD from Malaysia which I believe is technically a bootleg and of poor quality.
If not, has a release been scheduled for them?

You'll find the info for bd-dvd release for brave witches here.
Meanwhile , the operation victory arrow dvd's are only in japanese , although they may be in subbed format so you should check them out , there has been no official info on the dubbed release of dvd's.
Although crunchyroll seems to be streaming these series so you can check that out as well.

with the Brave Witches dvd the page says those are the japanese release. do they have english subtitles as asked in the question? (likewise with the Japanese DVD of Operation Victory Arrow). i ask because i generally don't think of releases in japan having English Subs

Yes what i thought of is the same that these are the japanese language release dvd's , so i looked into it a little and so mentioned crunchyroll streaming the anime ? should i remove the answer ?

What did really happen in the end of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom?
Some people claim that those Mongolian flowers are poisonous and that Ein ate one when Zwei died, but I've researched and there is no reliable source that tells us that those flowers are really poisonous. Some people claim that actually, they weren't together, Zwei was somewhere else, and others claim that Ein killed Zwei.
Did both Ein and Zwei die? What did really happen there?

The anime ending is different from the visual novel.
Ein and Zwei were definitely together in that last scene because Ein was talking to him.
The poisonous flower idea is a fan theory without official source. There are no official explanations of what happened in the last scene. It does make sense, though, to assume Ein committed suicide after Zwei got shot, and the flowers are the best and easiest tools for her suicide.
Since there's no official explanation, you can go with whatever idea you want.

It actually makes the watcher confused.
In the anime, Reiji was unexpectedly shot by an assassin (a man on a cart).
They were in Mongolia's countryside when it happened (Reiji was also not too far from Eren).
After it, we see a smiling Eren, a flower, then the bullet that killed (?) Reiji on the ground and we see this flower again but one of its petals has disappeared.
There are several fan theories about it. Still, none have been confirmed.
I think the producers just wanted a striking end and that's it.
This is a shocking end.

At the end both of the Phantoms died. Remember the boss of Inferno? Remember what he said? He said that they should do what they are supposed to do as the Inferno and that means to kill both the phantoms.
The happy thing is at least Elen had her wish fulfilled before her death and Reiji also kept his promise to Elen. They did not die before their wish or promise got fulfilled. That is the happy ending.
As for Reiji, the killer shot him with a silencer. But wait, why was he standing for prolonged time and did not move or speak a word or at least moved a muscle? Because he was so happy at that moment ( because he kept his promise and dreamt to pass the rest of his life by making Elen happy) that he did not even notice the bullet wound. Then finally just dropped on his right side paralyzed; thinking what happened, who shot him. Likely the shot hit on his right side. Remember Scythe master shot him 3 bullets on his left side and was still alive. He might still be alive now. The motivation? It is for Eren. But it could be also the case that the killer made sure he died. As the anime did not make any more episode, so we are concluding that Reiji is dead.
For Eren, she did not realize anything. Because firstly, the Ulanbator spot that we saw was full of mountains, cloud, birds, insects, animals, wind and many more. The sound of the nature can distract you easily. Secondly, Elen was engaged in thinking. She was truly happy because she regained her memory by seeing the sky of Mongolia and feeling the gentle breeze. Just like Reiji got his memory back by seeing his passport. So she happily looked back at Reiji and saw him unconscious by then, lying in the ground. Thats why we saw that even if Elen smiled ( it was for regaining memory), the smile was not complete. As if it was blocked in the midway and so she got her gloomy sad expression of eyes. Or it may be because, she immediately understood the situation that the Inferno is after them. So she had to accept the fate. What will she do now by trying to survive? Why she would live now when Reiji is dead? She just wanted a peaceful life with Reiji. But as her promise of regaining her memory has been fulfilled, she can now gladly die alongside Reiji. Thats why we saw that last smile on her face.
Then the killer also shot her and the bullet we saw in the green field at the very last moment indicates the assassination of Eren. One can argue, if she died by bullet, then where is the blood? Remember Reiji? We also did not see any blood when he was shot.
At the end of the day, Eren died in her motherland peacefully; knowing her identity and also same goes for Reiji. Yes, the anime got separated from the novel. But come on guys, it is just to make the anime more unexpected yet an interesting FINALE. Afterall noone lives forever. If they had to die oneday, be it in their motherland, fulfilling their wishes. This is one happy satisfying end for the phantoms, isn't it?

Will "Sailor Stars" (the final season) be available in English dub?
I've been watching the English dubbed version of Sailor Moon over and over. During that time, I thought the Sailor Stars, the last season would soon come out in English, but it never did. So, I only had one solution: to watch the original Japanese version.
I tried watching the last season in Japanese with English sub, and it was so confusing. I was like 'Who's this character?' 'Oh, it's Mina! Minako is her name...' and stuff like that.
So, will Sailor Stars (the final season) be available in English dub?

you don't need to watch the original dub for much longer as Viz Media has been re-releasing the original series (as well as the new Crystal remake) which includes the final season

Nearly two years ago, we announced the series by surprise at Anime Central in Chicago, IL. For the first time, all 200 episodes, specials and movies would be coming out in English! Since then, we have been releasing subtitled episodes every week. Just point your eyeballs here at VIZ.com for buckets of Moon Kingdom goodness. For fans of the all-new, uncut English dub, both season 1 and season 2 have been released on dual language Blu-ray and DVD. You can find the sets in all their shimmery glory at your favorite anime retailer, such as Right Stuf and Amazon!

Source: Viz Media
looking at the list on wikipedia we see that Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, the last season that the original US Dub never covered in english, goes to episode 200 as such this means that Viz isn't just going to stop at Sailor Moon SuperS (which is episode 166)
currently (27/07/2017) Viz Media sells up to Sailor Moon S, Season 3, Part 2 which is episodes 109-127 so you currently don't have the final season and will need to wait, however it should also be noted that this Viz Media release isn't like the original US Dub release which. as you can see in the list of episodes on wikipedia, skipped episodes in the first season (remember that 200 episodes is the number of episodes from Japan, if Viz was going all 200 they wont be skipping like original US Dub did)
While i have yet to see it to confirm from my understand this also means some of the themes from anime which were toned down/altered in the original US Dub are kept to how they were in Japan. noticeably during the Death Busters Arc (Season 3) the theme of sacrifice and ofcause, Haruka and Michiru

One of the controversies surrounding Sailor Moon S is in the romantic-lesbian relationship of Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, who are subtly depicted as romantic lovers, although this is never mentioned directly. Takeuchi has openly admitted they are a romantic couple, and their voice actresses were instructed to play the characters "as if they are a married romantic couple." However, because of differing cultural standards, most countries outside Japan, excluding Greece, Germany, Sweden, Spain and Mexico, have censored the relationship. Alternatively, in the Cloverway/Optimum English-dubbed version, this subtext was made more taboo by way of portraying Neptune and Uranus as biological cousins who were involved in a romantic relationship with each other. The Studiopolis/Viz Media English-language dub preserves the subtext of the original material.

Source: List of Sailor Moon S episodes

As Viz Media's blog post says that the re-release is duel language i assume it would contain both the japanese dubs with english subs and the english dub. considering that to my knowledge the final season was never released in english outside Japan officially watching the original subbed probably means watching a fan subbed version which you shouldn't really be doing when the series has been officially subtitled.
in case if i am wrong and:

there is an official release of the final season before Viz Media
you decided to wait for Viz Media to release theirs
you want to watch it subbed rather than dubbed

then which subbed version you watch is a matter of personal preference. however Viz Media's release would be easier to acquire as aside from DVD/Bluray release the Viz Media link i posted on Sailor Moon S, Season 3, Part 2 lists digital distributions like Steam and the Playstation Store. i would suspect ADV Film's home release it out of print thus harder to get

Note the the new dub may have dropped the Americanised names and all, so it may well be as alien to the OP as the sub is.

@Maroon though it would be more consistent than for 4 seasons knowing them by Sarina and Lita to then suddenly going to Usagi and Makoto

Who is this running kid wearing a shirt with Uchiha symbol?
There's a kid wearing a shirt with Uchiha symbol, but I have no idea who s/he is.

Who is this kid?

What episode is this from?

If we look at just what was shown to us in the show, the only Uchiha members killed were those in the Uchiha village that night. Although it hasn't been revealed, it is likely that not every Uchiha member was present in the clan village that night.

After doing some digging around, I discovered this scene is from the episode The Night of the Tragedy. According to the wiki, this is simply just an animation error

Trivia
In one scene, there is an animation error that an Academy student is shown having an Uchiha crest on the back of his shirt, despite that scene happening after the incident.

We know for a fact that there are very few Uchiha remaining. While it is plausible, as @Hostile Amigo mentioned, that not every Uchiha was present during the incident, this episode is part of the Kakashi: Shadow of the ANBU Black Ops filler arc and shouldn't be counted towards canon.

This is a great answer, but I wonder if the Wiki itself is sourced on that animation error piece...

@Makoto I updated my answer, expanding on it a little bit

When do "immortal" Devil Fruits respawn?
There is a question regarding the respawn time of regular Devil Fruits (DF), but I am interested in the possibility of creating an immortal army using the same one-time DF, namely the Ope Ope no Mi and the Yomi Yomi no Mi.
The Ope Ope no Mi can perform the "Perennial Youth Operation" which kills the DF user and gives eternal youth (and so potentially eternal life) to the subject. The Yomi Yomi no Mi enables the soul of the user to return to his body after his death.
Does the Ope Ope no Mi respawn after the Perennial Youth Operation (the user's death) or after the death of the operated person? Does the Yomi Yomi no Mi respawn after the "First" death or after the soul leaves this world forever?
At least for the Ope Ope no Mi there is no body left to contain the fruit's powers and after Doflamingo wanted to become immortal by Rosinante eating the fruit and performing the operation, the powers can not be stored in the operated person's body.
Could one create an army of immortals using one of this DFs?

As your question is interesting but a bit too wide, i suggest removing the 3rd paragraph and asking it in another question

No, these fruits cannot create an immortal army, they are not designed with that in mind. Even after giving someone eternal youth, that is all he will get, he will just remain "young" forever. Anyone will still be able to kill the user in a fight, he may die to an accident etc. The same applies Yomi Yomi no Mi, you get another life but you are not immortal. Also, even if someone has the Yomi Yomi no mi, and his head gets cut there is no body to return, because he will die again immeditally.
Ope Ope no Mi respawns after the users death (the one who eat the fruit) because the person who gained eternal life has no "connection" with the fruit itself.

Of course someone with eternal youth can be killed somehow but (s)he won't die from age, does (s)he? So one could find out what kind of fruit is needed for the Ope Ope no Mi to respawn and loop the eating and usage of the fruit to create a dozen of semi immortals. The younds like something Teach would do, or the dragons.

Since Ope Ope mi is able to "heal" people, when someone preforms the youth operation he basically "fixes" the cells of that person. Aging is ofter described as result of cell damage which accumulates over time (this is a bit offtopic and for start you can read more about it on wikipedia), so my interpretation of opes ability is that it removes the defects of dna alteration. The theme of the fruit is based around healing so this is kind of a plausible explanation, as far as "real life process" can be applied in one piece

I agree and this is in way a new point of view for me. The operation prevents a person from aging and if the fruit reincarnates as the original user dies, there can be more than one person effected by this effect at the same time. That was the background of my question.

yeah that is possible, x number of people could already have been give the procedure

"his head gets cut there is no body to return" - Brook vs Zeo shows otherwise.

that is after his fruit was activated

yes so when the user gets executed, The fruit gets active, the soul returns to the body and so does the head.

Actually, you got it wrong. The Ope Ope no Mi only gives eternal youth, and the Yomi Yomi no Mi gives 1 extra shot at life and it's not as overpowered as it sounds.
If you were to perform the eternal surgery on someone like Makino, she would just live forever and wouldn't become stronger or invincible. She would just get the ability to never die from old age.
It's the same with the Yomi Yomi fruit, which only gives you an extra life. For instance, if you drown because you ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi, a devil fruit, when your soul comes back you will just drown again and then be dead for good. It doesn't give you any extra power.

But if you were a dragon you would buy the Ope Ope no Mi and a slave to stop your aging and others would do so too and get never agind soldiers if the fruit respawns. So in fact if the fruit respawns after the operation, there could be a group of persons that never grow old and can train or wait for a strong DF forever. Imagine a never aging doctor who studies since 300 years or a never aging Zorro who trains for the same time.

How come there are so many Dragon Slayers?
In Fairy Tail, they say that Dragon Slayers are really rare, but it seems like there's more of them than most other kinds of magic. The closest amount of one kind of magic is maker magic; there are 5 people who are shown using it (Lyon, Gray, Ur, Ultear, and Rufus). It's kinda the same thing with Celestial Wizards, they say there aren't many of them but there are 4 in the show (Lucy, Angel, Yukino, and Hisui. There's also Karen who died 3 years ago and I think there's more in the anime during the Clock Arc, but I don't think that is in the manga).
I kind of get why the Celestial Wizards were likely to interact because they were needed for stuff, but if there aren't many Dragon Slayers, wouldn't it make more sense for them to run into more of any other kind of wizard than for 7 Dragon Slayers to just happen to find each other? Other than when they run into Leon, they never meet anyone with the same magic as anyone else in the guild except Celestial Wizards and Dragon Slayers.

There being so many Dragon Slayers despite it being a Lost Magic is an element central to Fairy Tail's plot. Dragon Slayer Magic is extremely rare since the only modern way to learn it is to embed Dragon Lacryma into the body as Laxus, Cobra and God Serena did. Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, Rogue and Sting are completely different cases as they were taught by dragons themselves more than 400 years in the past and were later send through time to year 777 as part of The 400 Year Plan. Back in the past, Dragon Slaying magic was far more common.

I already knew all that what I was asking is more why do they run into so many dragon slayers if there aren't many whereas you mostly were saying how there are so few

@user30104 It is so rare in year 777 because there is no way to accomplish it without implanting dragon lacrima. 400 years ago, the kids were trained by dragons, and as dragons were still around, it wasn't as rare. They were then sent into the same year in the future, and so they are the cases that we know of.

Fairy Tail has run into so many more people then dragon slayers and celestial wizards, but if you were to do a scene for every single one, that would take eons.
If you were to write a story of someone right now, would you write down every single person they met? Of course not, you would write only the notable ones and the ones that got them on the path they are on.
Being that path they are on is to take down Acnologia and Zeref. The arcs that are written are the ones to that effect, discount filler ones of course.

The reason is because the plot is surrounding dragon slayers. OFC the story is going to introduce as many of the known ones as possible. You say why are there so many, there arent, there are a handful, but since the story is focused on dragon slayers, its only natural to feel like they are popping up everywhere.
Its like if youre a doctor, at some hospital convention, lots of other people will be there too, but ofc, youll be looking for other doctors. Ya know?

What OST is played at the beginning of Naruto: Shippuden episode 489 after the OP?
I am referring to Shikamaru's Story, A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark, Part 1: The State of Affairs episode.
I played through the beginning of all the OST from the three albums of Naruto and the three albums of Naruto: Shippuden yet I can't seem to find it.
Is it from a different album or is it a part of an OST? (I haven't listened fully to most of the OST from the six albums).

This is Shikamaru's Lazy Cloud theme song. It was never officially released

What is this particular song that is played a lot throughout the Chimera Ant arc?
An example of the song being played is in episode 107, timecode 4:38. This is played a lot throughout this arc.
I am thinking that it could be an unknown track, as I can't find it in the soundtracks when searching through them.
Does anyone know what this song is called?

Assuming you're referring to the 2011 version of the series, the song you're looking for is called "Mystic Land"
https://youtu.be/YGmACxoYDjE?t=3760
The link I shared should link you to the song in question, as proof of my finding it.

Why are wolves associated with regeneration?
In the manga Noblesse, wolves' main attribute is their regenerative abilities (like Wolverine). Same with Ban (fox) from Nanatsu no Taizai.
Are there some explanation on why fox or wolves are associated with healing or regeneration abilities?

a note about tags: usually tags are used for large topics or something that could have people knowledgeable about it in the context of the site's topic. There aren't any "regeneration" specialists on the site. The closest thing to that would be biologists on [Biology.SE]. And Wolverine anime has nothing to do with this question coz it's a whole other creature.

Foxes, wolves, and wolverines are three entirely different kinds of animals.

Might be worth noting Wolverine's name doesn't have to do with his healing ability or even his claws but that he's short (which is largely lost since Hugh Jackman is much taller (6'2) than Wolverine's canonical 5'3) but a ferocious fighter with a short fuse

In Ban's case, the fox is linked to his sin of greed, because he drank the fountain of youth. But I guess in Japan, their ability to heal comes from the Fox Demons called Kitsune which have a variety of powers.
And I would guess the wolves' healing comes from the Werewolves Tales where they would heal any wound immediately if it wasn't inflicted with a silver weapon.

What is Chtholly?
What is Chtholly in the literal sense?
In episode 7 (Home Sweet Home), it is shown that Chtholly undergoes some changes due to her meeting with Elq Hrqstn. She is proven no longer a Fairy (Leprenchauns) as Silver test fails.
If a Fairy is basically part of Elq's soul that still large enough and becomes an independent entity, does this make Chtholly a Visitor? Or is she a human? But a human requires the 'beast' aspect which she does not have.

What's on the sign behind the guy with all the weapons in episode 8?
In episode 8 of Hajimete no Gal, at around 12:59, Ranko mentions that there's tight security around the women's bath at the inn they're staying at, and then there's a cut to this sign:

It reads 完全被甲混乱, and was subtitled by Crunchyroll as "Full Metal Jacket". Is this right? If so, how does Full Metal Jacket have anything to do with this?

Surprise - it's a subtitling error! The first four characters (完全被甲) certainly mean "full metal jacket" (in the sense of a bullet with a full-metal jacket). But the last two (混乱), which seemingly went untranslated, mean "confusion" or "disorder"... or, perhaps, "Panic". You know, as in Full Metal Panic!.
So, what does Full Metal Panic! have to do with anything?
I have a pretty good guess: episode 9 of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu features the cast visiting a hot springs resort. Once there, some of the men (led by military man Kurz) attempt to spy on the girls in their party as they relax au naturel in the open-air hot springs. Like Junichi's friends in Hajimete no Gal, Kurz-and-co's efforts are indeed foiled by rather tight security. I suppose this was a homage of sorts.

That's why when I was watching this episode of Hajimete no gal, I was remembering somewhere this scene was related to Full metal panic.. now this make sence..

Why are Bomber's friends so weak?
Why would Bomber be hanging out with two weaklings? Neither of them even had nen power that they used.
Also, why didn't Kilua fight Bomber? It seems like his abilities would've been better to use against Bomber since he was using ranged attacks but had a good way of defending himself.
I can see why Biske didn't want to fight him but honestly, Gon seems like the weaker of him and Kilua so wouldn't it make more sense for him to fight Bomber?

About the "weaklings": Considering how Genthru (the Bomber) wanted to heal his friends first means they're friends and not just allies. So it doesn't matter if they're weak, he wants them by his side because he trusts them.
Gon as of from the start wants the hardest challenge (Hisoka, Pitou), so it makes sense that he takes the leader. Also Genthru is at least high level which means even if Gon and Killua take him head on, he would still win. The reason Gon is the right choice is because of the plan. They need a powerful attack (Janken), enough to go through Genthru's defense. And Killua doesn't have that kind of power.

What's the song that plays when Naruto and Sasuke fight with Rasengan and Chidori in episode 216?
In Naruto Shippuden episode 216, at around 7 minutes, there's a song when Sasuke and Naruto fight with Rasengan vs Chidori.
What's that song?

It sounds to me like Samidare (Track 28 of Shippuuden OST 2).
Note that parts of this track also sound vaguely similar to Ochibabune (OST 2 track 26), Yamagasumi (OST 2 track 22), and Utsusemi (OST 1 track 7), so it can be easy to confuse them.
Incidentally, Utsusemi was playing in the immediately preceding scene.

Identifying the most common battle song in Fairy Tail 2014
In Fairy Tail 2014, there is a common battle song that plays. An example is when Juvia fights Aries in the desert in episode 37, when Aries makes fun of Juvia while she is on the ground.
What is the song?

It depends on which part of the battle scene you are talking about.

Towards the beginning (When Aries first arrives) is unknown to me. It is possibly one of the 2016 versions of the song that I still haven't listened to.
At the end (when Juvia smashes the coolant on the magic mobile) that song is "Titania Mau". It is also played when the returning of the dragons in the Tartaros chapters (Grandeeney (could also be spelled Grandeena), Igneel, Metalicanna, Weisslogia and Skiadram)

Can Kakashi still use Susanoo after losing his Sharingan?
When Kakashi had double Sharingan, he was able to use Susanoo. However, he lost the Sharingan.
Can he still use Susanoo without Sharingan now?

No, he can't now.
During the battle with Kaguya, Obito lent Kakashi the full power of the Mangekyo Sharingan which gave him the ability to use Susanoo. But after the battle, Kakashi lost his Sharingan along with Susanoo. So, I don't think that Kakashi can use Susanoo after all.

Actually, yes. Unless the plot is like, “No but it only applies to Uchiha” because it’s stated that you only need to have wielded the both Mangekyo to summon the Susanoo, and if you recall we did see one person summon a Susanoo with only one eye: Shisui Uchiha, after Danzo yoinked his other eye. So in theory, Kakashi should also be able to.

The answer is NO.
If you want to activate Suanoo, you must have the both Mangekyo Sharingan as it already state in the wiki.

"It is the strongest ability available to those who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in both eyes."

As you can see below this image in Boruto series, Kakashi eye's have no longer get the ability to use Sharingan.

Plus Kakashi able to use Sunanoo in the series of fighting Kaguya is because Obito lend his eye to Kakashi FOR A SHORT TIME. So basically the eye of the Sharingan is not Kakashi but it's Obito.
(The red highlight part show that Obito borrow his eye to Kakashi for a temporary.)

Image credit to @Kira - The God

Maybe he can! While fighting with Kaguya, Obito lent his both eyes to Kakashi (although Kakashi's eye was already taken by Madara and he was given a new eye by Naruto) and that's why he was able to use Susanoo. In same way, he can do that again.

In same way, he can do that again. Pretty sure that's false. Kakashi lost both eyes after the fight, and both eyes are require to produce the Susanoo

I am going to say Kakashi can still use Susanoo. The theory states that one has to have obtained the MS in both eyes and use it. Then even upon losing sight (Like Itachi), or losing your eyes altogether (Like Madara), one can still use Susanoo since it was activated before. So even if Kakashi's MS in bothe eyes were temporary, he still met the requirements to be able to continue to use Susanoo. The only way for this to be false is if one has to have the Uchia Gene (Blood of an Uchia coursing through their veins) to be able to use Susanoo even without MS.

Please include relevant sources/references.

No, anybody saying Kakashi can't use Susano'o is wrong because everybody said that it was normal for Madara to use Susano'o when he was trapped in Gaara's Great Sand Mausoleum. In the same way, you only need Mangekyou Sharingan to awaken the Susano'o but you can use it even without the eyes later.

Which episode is this where Saber dress in white and bounded?
In Unlimited Blade Works, which episode was Saber bounded up and was in a white dress being raped by Caster?

You can find answer here

Its Fate stay night second season episode 1

@IchigoKurosaki Fate/Stay Night doesn't have a second season unless your referring to Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works which does. it's important to know that there's a difference in title for 2 different plots

i haven't seen Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works but going by the original Visual Novel Saber isn't raped here, Caster is actually torturing her

@Memor-X yes you are correct it is Fate stay night Unlimited blade works, I got ended typing fate stay night only..

@Ichigo Kurosaki actually, that question is about the the reason for the clothes. It doesn't say anything about where it is.

Saber wears - or more exactly is made to wear - those clothes in Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works episode 13, 14, 17 and 18. (Or season 2 episode 1, 2, 5 and 6, if you count the series as two seasons.)
The screenshot itself is from episode 13 (or S2 episode 1).
By the way she isn't being raped (not even in the visual novel). Caster just tortures her to make her lose her mind so she would want the pleasure by herself.

Is it true that there's an eraser for the Death Note that can bring people back to life?
While it was only mentioned one time in the pilot of the manga, one interesting detail about Death Note is that there was originally a way for the user of the note to reverse any of the deaths they carried out. Just as writing a name in the Death Note notebook would eventually kill a person, a special eraser existed that could not only physically get rid of the name written in the book, but even restore the life that was taken as well.

Yeah no, once a name is in the Note correctly that person is going to die, unless the Netflix movie writers are being silly.

@IG_42 I think in the Netflix movie there's an option to burn the page the name was written on to prevent the death.

The Death Eraser appeared exclusively in the Death Note Pilot chapter, which isn't canon.
If the pilot chapter was considered canon several things would contradict themselves, like how the Rules of the Death Note contain that there are infinite number of pages in the Death Note, while in the pilot version it is stated that it has 60 pages with 38 lines per page.

In the Netflix movie the rule is that you are aloud to burn one page and only one page and when you do it before that person dies then they will not die but Ryuk said you are not aloud to burn more then one page. which he could be lying and doesn't want you to back out of all the people you want to kill, but i fill like he isn't.

Yes, it is true that there is a Deathnote Eraser.
This occurrence can be found in a Short story in 'Death Note 13: How to Read Death Note' book where Ryuk hands over an eraser to a new owner of the book, who happens to be a kid.
Whereas in the actual Deathnote plot the Eraser isn't mentioned.

The short story included in [b]How to read[b] is actually the [b]Death Note pilot[b].

Based on the netflix version, where one of the rules states that the death must be possible, ie no shark coming out of a toilet to bite the person, bringing back to life is not allowed.  So, if it can't happen under normal circumstances, it can't happen via Death Note.  It seems then that Death Note drives probability but it can't reach infinite improbability.
Edit addition:
Thus eraser is not possible as there is no probabilistic way to bring someone back from the dead.  Once someone is dead, they stay dead.  Also Gorzius agrees that it is the same in the manga/comic.

Yepp, this is also true in the manga/anime.

This has nothing to do with the question

I am negating eraser based on the fact that bringing someone back from the dead does not occur in normal/regular life.  I will add something about the eraser to make the link explicitly clear.

Where and when does Franky say that Sanji is one of the strongest guys on the crew?
I found this statement in the Wikia,

Franky acknowledges that Sanji's strength is greater than his own, claiming that Sanji was one of "the strongest guys on the crew".

but I can't find where or when does that (Franky's claim) happens. The Wikia doesn't give any citation there.
Did Franky say that? If so, where and when did he say it?

FWIW, the statement was added on 12 Nov 2015 by an anonymous IP user but without any sources.

Well, like Franky, most of the crewmembers regard Luffy - Zoro - Sanji as the monster trio and acknowledge that they are much stronger then the rest.

I'm not sure if Franky himself said this but it is widely accepted that Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are known as the monster trio. They are the three strongest members of the Straw Hats. This would in itself imply that Sanji is stronger than Franky.
