How can some army people sense Lloyd's power level in "Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari"?
The full titles are "Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari" and "Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town"
In the two episodes so far, Riho Flavin, Merthophan/Meltfan, and Chrome Molibden have shown that they can estimate Lloyd Belladonna's power level at a single glance. This ability is not shared by the Marie (witch) and many other army personnel, apparently including the army man who interviewed Lloyd as part of the entrance exam. Lloyd, himself, can't sense other people's power levels.
What is the canon explanation why some people can sense Lloyd's power level, and why others can't?

If the anime's only two episodes in, isn't it possible that this will be explained in a future episode?

The manga has 7 chapters so far, and the LN, 11. Maybe some explanation there?

It seems to be limited to characters who have a certain level of combat experience. It does make a lot of sense for people having spent a large amount of time on the battle field, or fighting one on one, to get a "feel" for their opponent strength with a quick glance.

Were Kenma and Kuroo childhood lovers?
In the original manga of Haikyuu, were Kenma and Kuroo childhood lovers?

Just for confirmation, did you really mean "childhood lovers" instead of "childhood friends"? The Shipping Fandom mentioned the latter without mentioning the actual relationship being lovers (i.e. just because they're so close doesn't mean they're lovers... or did I break fans' dream?).

No. They are best friends. No romantic relationship between them was shown in the manga. They are just two kids inthe neighborhood that got close and became friends.

Are there any rules/theories on using certain melody/instrument/voice to arouse certain feeling?
When I hear the ed 3 of Inuyasha the Final Act or the ed of Detective Conan Movie 07: Crossroad in the Ancient Capital, it always makes me picture a scene of a spot almost fully covered by fallen and falling cherry blossoms. (Especially 1:08~1:20 in the ed of Conan.)
I checked out the original MVs in the anime, and the scenes in the eds do contain cherry blossoms. Besides, stories in both anime have something to do with cherry blossom, too. Therefore, it's quite safe to say that the producers meant to use the music to create an atmosphere of cherry blossom.
I'm not sure whether that's only my personal feeling or a common feeling. However, neither did I know the origin of the music nor watched the MV the first time I listened to these two pieces of music, so it's probably common among quite a few audiences to picture a cherry blossom scene. I think that there might be some rules or theories (used by anime producers) on how certain melody/instrument/voice arouses certain feeling.

Not specific for these particular scenes (because what kind of music I expected was actually different than the premise of this question), but for "there might be some rules or theories (used by anime producers) on how certain melody/instrument/voice arouses certain feelings", music psychology might be broadly relevant.

@AkiTanaka Dudes, your links... The video in Inuyasha link is blocked in the US due to copyright, the volume of the Conan video is too low.

@AkiTanaka Besides, cherry blossoms appear very early in the original Conan MV, so using the original MV would make it hard to tell whether the sakura scene in audiences' mind is aroused by the music or by the imagery. I think you need to give the viewers a chance to experience the feeling aroused by merely the music without the imagery.

Sorry, I didn't know if the Inuyasha link is blocked in the US. I've rolled it back.

What percentage of mangakas are females?
My friend says that most of the manga are written by men.
Is that true? What percentage of mangakas are women?

A recent survey conducted by Mannavi in November 2021 found that about 77% of mangakas are female. However, the survey only covered a total of 723 responses, so it may not necessarily reflect reality.

The last part of that article might also give a hint to a related question What percentage of hentai manga artists are female?.

What's Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan special ability?
Obito can use Kamui, Shin can manipulate and control weapons, Itachi can use Amaterasu, and Shisui can cast powerful genjutsu. But I don't understand what the special ability Madara got from his Mangekyou Sharingan.
I don't think Susanoo and controlling Nine Tails are special abilities because they are basic abilities of MS. So what's the special ability of Madara's MS?

This was the most detailed opinion I came across => https://www.quora.com/If-you-could-decide-Madara-Izuna-Indra-and-Fugakus-Mangekyo-Sharingan-ability-what-would-it-be/answer/Dov-48.
Although, the show never stated explicitly about Madara's MS special ability ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Necroposting but NCHammer has a nice video on this topic.

According to this article:

One such element was Madara’s EMS ability – the power to reverse time.
The animation showed Madara’s EMS spinning uncontrollably, resulting in everything moving backwards. This was revealed to be time reversal, a direct ability of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. However, this technique is technically non-canon since it was only witnessed in an OVA, meaning it's not enough to cement this jutsu as one of Madara’s actual EMS powers.

Unsure of the extent to which this answers the question, given that - by its own admission - its canonicity is questionable. Also, please be aware that if you're answering a question using a quotation from elsewhere, you need to clearly indicate that the quote is a quote and make it clear where you got it from.

According to the wiki, his eyes abilities haven't been explicitly shown.
Also, is hard to say that Shin's Mangekyou specifically had that telekinesis ability, because in his arc there are multiple different eyes and creatures that show the same ability.

What are these rhombus/triangles around the neck?
I saw these rhombus/triangles around the neck in a few stories but do not know what it is:

I'm Not the Evil God's Lackey character - Original Witch Silver

I'm the Grim Reaper (webtoon) character - Satan

What are these?

For the first character, it appears to be a geometric choker, while on the second character, I'm willing to bet it's a scar going around their neck. I've seen scars depicted as beveled diamonds in a row like that, and there are other anime characters with similar scarring which the artist likely took inspiration from,  but these are just my initial musings upon skimming stories and looking at character designs, I could be completely off.

Was the "purple color paper" supposed to go inside Lu Shu instead of Lu Xiaoyu?
I'm talking about the Spare Me, Great Lord (Da Wang Rao Ming) anime with 12 episodes released till now, not the manga.
So, Lu Shu just started activating and developing his powers after met with an accident, and there's this one episode in it where Lu Shu opened another purple color paper like thing after trying the spin wheel. And Lu Xiaoyu was near him and that paper went inside her.
So, was this meant to be gone inside Lu Shu, or was it accidentally went inside Lu Xiaoyu because she was closer to Lu Shu?

According to Fandom(novel-based spoilers)
Lu shi shared his power with lu Xiaoyu, they both are reincarnations and she knows about her previous life as well.
Source link
My personal views
I completed that anime long ago, and lu shu got awakened when he saw that superhuman with firepower doing a magic show on the street(his locket reacted the first time and he was able to see an awakened person in slow motion) along with his sister but he didn't know it at that time. Later he met with an accident and his power got self-activated and his locket is somewhat related to his awakening. As you can see magic items can make an awakened person more powerful, like ruins items or spirit stones. Even the magic apple he creates has magic abilities like healing her sister's illness. Seems like this item come from another dimension having magic items but I am not sure about that point.
So now finally I come to your answer, that black magic paper went inside Lu Xiaoyu because that nebula map is totally opposite of lu shi nebula map, also lu shi is already awakened person and that nebula map(black paper) has the power of awakening just like lu shi locket.

In chapter 148 of Tokyo Revengers, why did she die?
In chapter 148 of Tokyo Revengers,

 Why did Emma die by just one hit on her head,

while the other characters can live longer even though being hit heavier?

Well, I'll assume that this one was because of the speed of the bike that Kisaki was on. It surely didn't seem slow, and he probably putted a lot of strength in it, they didn't make into the hospital in time, she probably had a craneal traumatism and yah...
Well about the rest not dying with all those hits, I'd say they have some strong heads lmao. (Very probably plot armor as well)

Why did Muzan kill the lower demon moons?
So after Rui's death, why did Muzan kill the lower demon moons, with the exception of Enmu? Muzan gave Enmu some more of his blood which caused him to become even more powerful.
However, I can't help but feel that Muzan killing the lower demon moons was a bad writing decision. So are there any other reasons for him to kill the lower moons?

Because they are incompetent.

Agree that it's a bad plot and a disappointing course of events. However, it may be used to show how cold and cruel Muzan is.

Muzan is a very cold individual, the lower moons consistently disappointed him, and Enmu showed no fear while Muzan killed the other lower moons, which impressed him.

The wiki does a very good job of explaining Muzan's personality, and how he feels about humans, and his subordinates:

Muzan is cold-hearted, ruthless, intimidating, and exceptionally intelligent. He sees no value in any humans he has encountered and shows little value in his own subordinates. Rarely ever visually upset or happy, he appears completely monotone and detached on most occasions, even when he callously murders his own subordinates.

He tends to be very short-tempered too; he once killed two men and their female companion for simply being rude:

He brutally killed a pair of drunk men simply for being rude to him, and killed their female companion when she had done nothing, all while proclaiming his own perfection and superiority over them, displaying his pettiness as he won't settle for any mockery and will do anything he pleases until the humiliation is remedied.

Killing the lower moons helps to solidify just how cold and heartless Muzan is. When he killed the lower moons, he did so because he had become frustrated by their constant failures, as he began killing them, two, three, four, and six all showed great weakness in the eyes of Muzan by begging for blood, fleeing, denying his opinion, and attempting to flatter him:

After the demise of Kyogai and later Rui, the Lower Rank Five, Muzan was frustrated by the Lower Ranks constant failures. He called the Lower Rank One, Two, Three, Four and the current Six to a meeting, rebuking them and believing he no longer needed the Lower Ranks. As a result, Muzan started to kill the Two, Three, Four and Six one by one, as they respectively were begging for Muzan's blood, trying to flee, trying to deny Muzan's opinion and trying to think about flattering his master.

During this entire event, Enmu showed no fear and demonstrated a more sadistic demeanor which impressed Muzan, subsequently saving his life:

Enmu, the Lower Rank One, was the only Lower Rank left. However, unlike others, Enmu showed no fear over the brink of death and even nonchalantly accepting it for pure excitement. Enmu's sadistic streak impressed Muzan, and he sent Enmu on a mission.

Feel free to do some further reading on the official wiki, and on the villains wiki, which are the sources that support my answer.
Emphasis mine.

I see. I thought this was a writing flaw of him.

@Crimsoir, I wouldn't really call it a flaw, just part of his character IMHO.

someone once criticized how the writing in demon slayer feels lackluster. That's why i asked here, to get more answers before calling it a writing mistake.

@Crimsoir, I've honestly read much worse. I believe they did a good job representing Muzan as a cold and heartless narcissist. Additionally, I don't think having Tanjiro or the others killing the lower moons, plus the upper moons would've been a good decision. I think they went in with an end goal, and a way to achieve it in a decent number of volumes.

Where can I buy digital copies of this version of Kenzen Robo Daimidaler?
NSFW Warning: This is not hentai but there are NSFW images from an ecchi manga below that some may find offensive (non-consensual lewd scenes). You have been warned.
I have the digital (Book Walker) and physical copies of Kenzen Robo Daimidarā OGS. However, there seems to be a different version of the manga. On these images I found in a certain scanlation site, there are pages and panels that are different from the digital and physical copies that I have.
Examples:

A page on the digital/physical volume of Kenzen Robo Daimidarā OGS Vol. 4.

The same page but somehow, with different panels.

Does anyone maybe know where I can buy/read these chapters legally? Or is the only option buying old copies of the Fellows!/Harta volumes where the manga was serialized? I tried finding these chapters among the list of legal sources here with no luck.

You mean the above is tankobon and the below is the magazine ver? Then, it means that the panels were rearranged/redrawn at the time of tankobo-ization, so most probably buying the physical magazine is the only possibility.

@sundowner I see, thanks for replying. They seem too clean to be scanned from physical pages, though, so I'm hoping that maybe the magazines are at least available digitally. Do you maybe know if older Harta volumes (starting from Feb 2013) are available digitally?

The official tweet says digital version is available from 2020, so I guess the answer is no. Back in those days, illegal scanners did such a great job that surpasses today's legal digital copies.... Maybe not realistic for you, but physical copies seem available on amazon.co.jp.

Assuming this is a revision made between the serialised and published chapter (which seems likely since your second image has page number 415 in the corner and volume 4 only has 187 pages) then you would have to source the print issues of the magazine.
Digital issues of Harta do not get removed from sale after a brief window (unlike most other Kadokawa group magazines), however the digital edition only began with Issue 75 in June 2020, whereas Daimidaler OGS ran from 2013 to 2016

Firstly, sorry for the late reply. I uploaded these two pictures to the internet before (f*pservic*). Both sites I found seem to be down now; they were pirated sites (Bezald and marumaru).
But if you can find and search the Korean name (건전로봇 다이미다라 OGS) and Korean translation of this manga, I'm sure you'll find those versions online.

Welcome to the Q&A site Anime & Manga Stack Exchange. Did you mean that the different arrangement is from the official Korean translation? However, the panels in the question are both in Japanese though.

What happened to the SPADE pirate members after Ace's death?
Ace formed his pirate crew named "SPADE" pirates after leaving his hometown.

After having a continuous clash between Ace and Whitebeard, Ace understood the feelings of Edward Newgate toward his crew and how he considers them as his own family.  He also tells them if he joins, they will accept Ace as his family in his crew.  He, along with his former crewmates, abandoned SPADE pirates.  Afterward, all SPADE pirates had disbanded in different Whitebeard divisions. After Ace's death, they didn't appear in anime or manga.
What happened afterward?

I speculate that are went in different ways, just like rest of white beard pirates.
One other theory is that, when Luffy has to fight black-beard then white-beard pirates(+ spade pirated + ...all) may join him for severals reasons

Luffy is Ace's brother
Luffy stood upto Whitebeard and won his respect.
To payback to black-beard for the death of Ace & White-beard!
Black-beard is just mean..
Luffy is luffy (you have your freedom yet you are part of a big/power crew)

Did Asuna and Kirito take a break from each other, before season 4 started?
In season 4, when Alice asked Asuna "Just how long were you and he together?"
Asuna replied "I was his partner for two years. Then we dated for probably a year and a half."
If they were still dating, wouldn't she reply something like "We were partners for two years, and for 2 weeks we lived together, and Kirito and I are still together."
I know that they love each a lot. It's just the way she replied, that made me think that they aren't together anymore. I would understand if maybe, they are taking a break from each other because both sides' life is a bit hectic and they need to sort things out before being together again.
Did Asuna and Kirito take a break from each other?

It seems like that was a sloppy piece of dialogue. It also seems like the math is pretty bad from that line of dialogue. If Ordinal Scale is considered canon, and it takes place in 2026, and they're together at that point, seems more like 2 years partners in SAO, 2 years dating after.

I know it's an old question, but I'm in the process of reading the original novels. Overall, the anime adaptation follows them quite closely, but the novels contain a number of additional details, especially when the text describes what the characters are thinking. This is how it's maybe clearer that Asuna and Kirito remain a closely-knit couple all this time.
They've been dating non-stop since the release from SAO and after Kirito was rushed into the Underworld because of his injury, Asuna refers to him as "her boyfriend" (and doesn't protest when others do the same).
Also, while Kirito adventuring in the Underworld (equivalent to season 3 of the anime), there were two things in the novels that I don't remember being that clear in the anime:

When he realizes that his stay will be long, thinking of Asuna, he promises to himself to stay away from women as much as possible, expressing relief that Eugeo is a man, and being a bit worried at first that Sortiliena is a woman.
When he starts to understand what's at stake for that place and its inhabitants, he's not that eager to leave. Which makes him express guilt over what Asuna must be going through in the meantime.

Why is the Arale from Dr. Slump in Dragon Ball so strong?
Norimaki Arale is a character from the anime Dr. Slump who also appears in Dragon Ball. In Dragon Ball, she's insanely strong. It seems that no one can beat her. Why is she so strong?

According to Vegeta in the anime series, it's because she's a gag comic character the reason she has absurd strength.
Vegeta vs Arale
In the original Dr Slump, she also was insanely strong, she broke the Earth in 2 by accident once with a punch.

She is what people believe Saitama is. She's an actual gag character from a gag manga, Dr. Slump. She's basically the Bugs Bunny of Dragon Ball. Her powers include Plot Manipulation and such, where she can become the author herself and replace Tori-Bot, Toriyama's own avatar in the anime. Which means she can exist on a higher dimension of existence that most other characters without fourth-wall awareness can't even sense.

What's the first anime to have different versions of theme songs by different MCs' voice actors?
Some anime have different versions of theme songs (OPs or EDs) by different MCs' voice actors. For example, Blade Dance of the Elementalers has different versions of EDs by each of its female MCs, Est, Claire, Ellis, Fianna and Rinslet.
What's the first anime to have different versions of OPs or EDs by all of its MCs, male MCs or female MCs?

I don't know if it was the first, but probably the most famous is Neon Genesis Evangelion, where the ED (Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon") is sung by a different character's VA in each episode.

"Fly Me to the Moon" is complicated - I'm pretty sure for the TV broadcast version the only VA who sang it was Megumi Hayashibara (Rei), with the other versions having vocals by Yoko Takahashi or other singers, or just being instrumental. The versions with the other VAs apparently only appeared on the DVD release. They did also record their own version(s?) of "Cruel Angel's Thesis".

@F1Krazy That can't be true, since the anime has 26 episodes, but only two female main heroines. Three if you count Katsuragi Misato. I only remember the voice of Hayashibara Megumi singing it for the anime, too.

@Ocean It is. Each episode's version of the song has unique instrumentation, with Rei, Asuka, and Misato each singing multiple versions. I don't know whether there's a version out there that uses the same version for all 26.

@F1Krazy I meant that there aren't 26 characters so it is impossible to have the ED "sung by a different character's VA in each episode". Sooner or later the same seiyuu is going to appear again. Semantics.

The first one that comes to mind is Sakura Taisen: Gouka Kenran (1999).
You can listen to the different versions here.
There might be earlier examples, though.

To my knowledge, there are no such sites. Usually they are gauged by sales e.g. like Oricon. Note this is (naturally) by-volume basis.

In My Hero Academia season 6 episode 5 of the anime, Shigaraki ...

 wakes up and destroys the hospital he was in and the surroundings, a large portion of a city, and there were a lot of heroes around. Which heroes died when Shigaraki destroyed the hospital and its surroundings?

Spoilers tags/warning would’ve been nice, since this is the most recent episode :(

@Wondercricket it's impossible to make the question without spoilers in the title (where you can't use spoilers tags, and which has the same spoiler than in the body) and this probably happened over a year ago in the manga. Technically in a Questions and Answers anime board, 99% of the content is spoilers, the only sure way not to be spoiled here about a particular topic is to add a franchise to the ignore tag.

It is hard to tell because the events are ongoing as it is the latest episode. It will be revealed in upcoming episodes.

Why does Estarossa have a different full counter than Meliodas?
In the fight against Escanor,  Estarossa uses full counter that can only block physical attacks.
Why does Estarossa have a different full counter than Meliodas?

Because it was not meant to be the same, Estarossa and Meliodas have different abilities. There is no reason for them to be the same. There has been no reason that I have seen for the powers that they have and if one can counter magic it makes sense another can counter physical attacks.

It's worth noting both of their abilities have the exact same name "Full Counter" (In Japanese: 全反撃) a name also shared with the ability of Meliodas' mentor, Chandler. Also for somewhat spoiler-y reasons surrounding Estarossa's origins there's a very deep association between Meliodas and Estarossa which (at least thematically) might explain why they possess mirrored versions of each other's signature ability

Why does Zoro always forget his sense of direction?
Every single direction given to Zoro by anyone gets puzzled his mind and he gets lost in the end. He gets lost even when someone simply tells him to go straight.
At the end of the Dressrosa arc, Zoro was even mocked by Trafalgar D. Law for getting lost when going a short distance away. So, Law was forced to move him with his ROOM ability. Zoro himself looked very embarrassed at that time when Law mocked him.
Why is Zoro's sense of direction so poor to the point of being ridiculous? Is there an in-universe explanation?

It is undetermined as of now. We don't necessarily KNOW if it is canon because in the show it would say how Zoro uses the clouds for navigation. So it most likely IS canon but we don't know for sure. Hope this helps :).

@Tristan-_-  as mentioned by Matthew F in answer section, in the beginning of the show he can sense direction but maybe after getting Wado Ichimonji: One of the 21 Great Grade Meito. Forged by the legendary Wano swordsmith Shimotsuki Kozaburo, he is not able to recognize direction well, maybe it is because of early use of Haki embedded sword, because his new sword Enma has same abilities of Haki...

We still don't know a lot about Zoro's background and where he comes from (we can presume it is Wano) and the loss of direction could be something Oda will explain later on. For now it is a funny trait, but it could be more then that.

In the beginning of the show, they showed kid Zoro using his sense of direction, so it must have been something like hitting his head as a kid or being hung on a cross by some marine captain for a few days.

There is no in-universe explanation. This is just a character trait that Oda gave Zoro for ... some reason. Maybe there's an explanation in SBS.

Can't say if it's canon or not, but in one of the video games, there was a conversation between Zoro and Nami where Zoro said that he uses clouds as landmarks.

Please share the source of information.

I remember this too. It's from the show/manga, and it's when Nami was sick, which is the reason why Zoro was steering the ship.

Zoro's lack of directional sense could possibly be a result of the cursed sword that he wields: Sandai Kitetsu.

Although Zoro was able to prove that his luck was capable of warding off the curse, by gambling his arm, it's likely that whatever impact that the swords curse brings upon him is most likely partial active and comedic (although it could be more sinister and be connected to his sealed eyes).

didn't he have a bad sense of direction before acquiring the sword?

Diavolo and the Requiem Arrow
I have been watching a lot of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind moments on YouTube, and while watching, I thought about Diavolo.
We all know that the main villain of the part got a catastrophic fate. So, if Diavolo has to die infinitely following infinite scenarios, does it mean that in one of these scenarios, he obtains the arrow and pierces himself with it?
My point is that in one of these infinite deaths, he gets King Crimson Requiem and shapes it to be like a direct GER counter or something and thus escapes his horrific punishment.

In Boruto, are there other people with Karmas?
I've been watching Boruto and the way people get Karmas. There are other strong villages: have they not been attacked? And, if they have defeated them, are there any other Karmas besides Boruto's and Kawaki's?

There are only 4 people with the Karma
(Kāma) seal that we know as of yet :-

Kawaki
Boruto
Jigen
Code

You can find the wiki source for the above claims here
It is currently unknown if any other person has this seal.
Out of the above 4 people the only Code has a White Karma(Kāma) seal on him. Rest all have Black Karma(Kāma) seal on them. While Jigen having passed away, we can assume that only 3 people currently have Karma.

Due to Isshiki leaving his body, and having little to no chakra at
all, he passed away.

Kawaki had also lost his Karma(Kāma) but regained it later. Below is a reference from the wiki :-

By the improper resurrection of Isshiki, Kawaki's being has mostly
been written into Isshiki's likeness. This forced resurrection of
Isshiki also resulted Kawaki's Kāma being erased. Later however, he
was branded with another Kāma.

Also there is no known instance of people with Karma(Kāma) seal attacking the other villages. The leaf was attacked only because they have 2 people with Karma(Kāma) in their village - Kawaki and Boruto respectively.

Yes, there are other people with Karma.
All four introductions to the Karma have included the following characters:

Jigen / Isshiki Otsutsuki
Kawaki
Boruto Uzumaki
... and Code.

Some of them had different ways of getting the Karma, for example, Boruto got his after defeating Momoshiki Otsutsuki with his father-son Giant Rasengan. Kawaki, on the other hand, got his through scientific experiments (through Amado) / Jigen's chakra. Code got his the same way as Kawaki, though his was a white Karma and was a non-vessel weapon.
There are no other known characters to possess a Karma other than the four mentioned, but some have lost theirs:

Jigen lost his after being killed by Koji Kashin.
... and Kawaki had lost his by a Karma safety feature after Isshiki was forced to resurrect through Jigen's body, which, of course, limited his lifespan to about two days. (Until shortened by Naruto's Baryon Mode.)

Which leaves only Code (White, non-vessel Karma) and Boruto to currently be the only characters shown to possess any form of the Karma. Villages were not really intended to be attacked by Otsutsuki, but to just fulfill their goal of planting the Divine Tree, which would require a living Otsutsuki, which the Leaf Village sort of possesses, because of Boruto's Karma.

Cannot find the source of this "Classroom of the Elite: Year 2" manga panel
Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 Room1 is released, but I can't find it on the internet. I found some images which show it's released but didn't find the source.

Can someone help me with this?

As usual, note that this site doesn't condone piracy, so we will only mention legal/official sites if they exist. Answers/comments that mention questionable sites will be removed without prompt.

The serialization of the manga adaptation of Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 was just started on December 25, 2021, on monthly comic alive issue 2/2022.

The magazine has not been licensed (officially translated) anywhere. Japanese Book Walker sells the digital version. Other than that, it is only available as a print version on a variety of Japanese online bookshops.
As with the common practice of manga serialization, there will be no tankobon version until enough chapters from the magazines are collected.

What is the correct order to watch My Hero Academia (Boku No Hero Academia) including movies?
Does anyone know the correct order to watch My Hero Academia? Every site I try has different ways to watch it, and that confuses me.
So, can anyone tell me the actual order to watch it, including the movies?

Found below recommended viewing order:

Season 1 (13 episodes)
Season 2 (25 episodes)
My Hero Academia: Two Heroes
Season 3 (25 episodes)
Season 4 (25 episodes)
My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising
Season 5 (25 episodes)
My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission

It's been a while since I finished watching until S5, so I did not check the accuracy of above.

Note that this order is the same as the broadcast date, which is usually the most logical.

Is there any difference between the original Paprika novel and its animated film adaptation?
Paprika was originally a novel written by Yasutaka Tsutsui. Later, it was adapted as an animated film.
Is there any difference between the novel and its animated film adaptation?

I googled around a bit, and there seems to be a lot of difference. This is not surprising - it is not possible to render a full-book novel into a two-hour movie faithfully.
The following is a quick translation of here.

In the original, Torataro Chiba is a director; in the movie, he is a chief. (*)
In the original, Inui is a vice-director; in the movie, director.
In the original, Atsuko Chiba and Paprika have the same character. (**)
In the original, Atsuko Chiba and Kosaku Tokita get a Nobel prize; they are in love with each other and get married.
More sexual scenes in the original.
In the original, Inui and Osanai have a relationship.
The distinction between dream and reality is fuzzier (less clearly described as such) in the original.
More grotesque scenes in the original.
More mythological references in the original. In particular, the Egyptian Amon plays a great role in the story.

(*) chief = 所長; director = 理事長
(**) I'm not sure what exactly this means.
I suspect there may be more substantial differences, but they would make the list too long.

Is the general plot still the same?

I never read the novel and only vaguely remember the anime, but seems yes (psycho-therapy by going into dreams, technology for sneaking into others' dreams, etc).

Why did they change Todoroki's hero suit?
So in the first season, this was Shoto's hero suit.

And I think sometime in the third season, it changed.

Now, I really like his suit. Don't get me wrong but, why did it change all of a sudden?

Does this answer your question? Why does Todoroki look different between the 1st and 2nd season?

In his initial hero costume …. has what appears to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side, even his head, although it is detachable, which he wears as a way of rejecting the fire aspect of his Quirk.
Source

Early on in the series, Todoroki rejected his fire side of his quirk as a way of rejecting his father; where his fire quirk originated from. His original costume design covers his whole left side with ice-looking apparel, which is the side of his fire quirk. This resembles his choice of using his ice quirk.
After Todoroki comes to accept who he is and both of side of his quirks, he upgrades the design of his hero costume so that both sides of his quirk is represented.

Where can I read Mahou to Skytube de Ikiteiku?
I found Mahou to Skytube de Ikiteiku by accident at some point not that long ago and tried to look for it everywhere, even on illegal websites (though I'd much prefer a physical copy). However, I can't seem to find much about it.
Where can I legally obtain a physical copy, or failing that, where can I legally read it online?

Welcome to Anime.SE! Please note that this site does not endorse piracy, so we cannot and will not link you to any illegal sites.

Looks like there's only a light novel, not a manga adaptation. Also, looks like it hasn't been licensed (and has a low potential, since it finished in only 1 volume), so there's no official English version, only the original Japanese language (魔法とSkyTubeで生きていく).

In "Hi Score Girl", why does Akira Ono not speak at all?
Akira Ono is the main female character in the anime series Hi Score Girl (1 and 2) currently on Netflix. Her character never speaks, yet the reason for her silence, although used for certain effect/s, is not directly given.
I did some research, and one possible psychological reason, and which makes sense along with her character's story, is that she is being severely abused at home and this causes some children to completely and voluntarily stop talking. I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on this.

I'm not familiar with the series and you may be on to something but it is also possible you are attempting to ascribe reality onto a fictional character where it was not intended. This could be like Shiina from Pet girl of Sakurasou who is implied to have Savant Syndrome / some form of neurodivergence although it is never said outright but it could also be like Sanji from One Piece having comically intense nosebleeds around beautiful women, one could theorize Sanji has a medical condition like hemophilia or PV but it's never explained and is clearly a gag which needs no scientific reason.

According to the fandom wiki for Hi Score Girl, it says that she doesn't talk because it's a quirk of the anime. Heres a quote from the Hi Score Girl Wiki on Fandom

"Despite being very smart, she never talked. Most likely it's part of the plot that she doesn't talk at all in the story. Most of the time, Haruo can read her facial expressions to guess what she's thinking and wanting. She makes small voices like "Umm", nodding, and shaking her head as a way to say yes or no."Hi Score Girl Wiki

Other than that it might have to do with something else, but I am yet to read the manga. There are notions to the fact that she is able to speak but it's more of an off-screen thing. I got this particular idea from a Reddit post.

"She can talk, she just never does it “on screen,” but there are references to her having conversations with other characters."

I couldn't get the link for this.

The quote from the wiki doesn't have a source and the way it's written sounds like a random kindly netizen theorizing why Akira doesn't talk as opposed to quoting something from the series or an interview with the creator, etc. I'd maybe reword that first part since it currently implies the wiki quote is an authoritative source which it could be if it were referencing something but doesn't seem to and/or find a more canon source (a quote from the manga/anime ideally or a statement of some sort by the creator)

As per my view, Akira's character is mute because it gives some uniqueness in her character, so it can easily look attractive character to the user. The manga mentioned that she talk with her sister. It represents trust with her sister Haruo. Here Akira represents the trust like, her sister understands well without making fun of her. She is mute with other characters. Normally I think the character showed up kind and honest.

Why does Zenitsu hate Inosuke? Do they ever become friends?
In Demon Slayer, Zenitsu seems to hate Inosuke.
First of all, I am aware that Zenitsu and Inosuke started off on the wrong foot. Inosuke and Tanjiro did not start off on good terms either but, Tanjiro and Inosuke made friends.
When watching it for the first time, I thought that Zenitsu and Inosuke had made friends with each other or would eventually. However, Zenitsu hates Inosuke and is always mean to him by insulting him. While the insults could just be from annoyance, there's also the fact that Zenitsu does not care about Inosuke's well-being.
Why does he hate him so much? Do they ever become friends?

Welcome to Anime & Manga Stack Exchange. Just a friendly tip, if you're logged in with your account, then you can edit and improve your own post freely. Also, feel free to take a quick [tour] to understand how this works. Thanks!

According to the wikia it's because they have contrasting personalities.

Zenitsu and Inosuke usually do not get along despite being on the same
team, mainly due to their extremely low opinions of each other and
their wildly contrasting personalities. Inosuke sees Zenitsu as
annoying, loud, weak (initially), and a crybaby; while Zenitsu sees
Inosuke as a violent moron who's only interested in fighting. However,
in dire situations, they can cooperate well. Inosuke shows a level of
admiration for Zenitsu's abilities while asleep, saying he should
sleep forever after seeing how cool he fights for the first time.

Zenitsu relationships
I would add that they didnt start well because Inosuke wanted to kill Nezuko when they first met, and Zenitsu loves Nezuko.

Why didn't Light skip a few grades?
Light was bored as everything was easy for him until he found the death note. So why didn't he skip a grade or two and graduate early? That seems like it would be the most logical thing to do for Light if he was bored.

What? Light Yagami's 'intelligence' is not the same as the Sheldon Cooper kind of 'intelligence'. There are many 'intelligent' high school characters in anime/manga who get top grades and stuff but doesn't mean they get to just skip entrance exams/SATs and stuff...

The answer is quite simple. It is not possible to skip grades in Japan.
There were very rare exceptions at some schools, but he attended University of Tokyo (I don't remember the name was same or altered), where it was not possible to enroll by skipping grades as of the time of Death Note (According to a source, it may become possible soon.)

You know (Gasai), this answer sounds like using complex analysis to prove the pythagorean theorem? Light is 'intelligent' yes, but not necessarily Sheldon Cooper/Terry Tao/Moshe Kai Cavalin kind of 'intelligence'.

@BCLC Well, as far as I remember, Light was smart enough to be the top in a national pre-examination (there are exams run by private cram schools to test their probability of getting in this or that university). In real terms, if one can get the top score in a famous enough pre-exam (there are many such pre-exams), s/he has a good chance getting in U of Tokyo 1 or even 2 years earlier.

I think Light was at the age like if Light was gonna skip grades to go to uni early, then e should've already been in uni by now. Or not? Forgot the show already...it says here Light is 17...so spell it out for me please. How could Light have gotten into uni early? Like at the start as 17 to get in by 18? Or should've applied at 16 to get in by 17 (or 18)?

@BCLC I don't think he got in uni early. When one starts the last year in high school (12th year in schooling), s/he is 17 yo. Next April, s/he gets in the uni if successful in exams at the age of 18. There was a timeline

sundowner, yeah I know Light didn't. My question is how could have Light done so?

@BCLC Simply by taking exams when he is in the 1st or the 2nd grade in high school. There are/were universities that allow 11 graders to apply. But again, University of Tokyo or any major university wasn't one of them. I'm not sure what you are asking... everything is just fiction and could have sounds vague. I understand the original question that Light should have skipped grades at some time in his life (which may be earlier than the beginning of the story).

'I understand the original question that Light should have skipped grades at some time in his life (which may be earlier than the beginning of the story).' --> Yeah that's exactly what I'm asking. I think at the start of the story it is too late for Light to apply to uni early. What I have in mind is the Yagami family could've had Light do it but they ultimately decided against it. So anyway your answer is maybe 1 or 2 years prior to the start of the show Light takes the exams?

@BCLC Assuming skipping grades were possible (which is not the case),  basically yes.

sundowner WAIT is this kinda (like a little bit like) what Miyuki is about to do in Kaguya-sama ? Like leave early for Stanford?

@BCLC It doesn't seem to be mentioned. Anyway it is fiction (including admission to Stanford), so it is possible. In reality, afaik, pupils going to overseas universities take half a year gap.

Why aren't birthdays celebrated in Fire Force? And what is Hika and Hina's birthday?
So I noticed that none of the characters' birthdays are celebrated, nor do we know when Shinra came to join the 8th, and we haven't really seen seasons change, (well also there's little no vegetation except in where Vulcan lived) so it's hard to tell the passing of time.
I'd like to know kind of where on the calendar this whole thing started, and I'm kinda curious why 8th wouldn't celebrate each others' birthdays.  I know it's not important and/or something they just don't show.  By the whole thing, I mean the start of the anime with Shinra in the first episode.
Lastly we don't get any information on when Hika and Hina were born.

It's pretty common in fiction for characters to not celebrate their birthday despite having one listed. Ash Ketchum is famously still 10 after over 25 years of adventures. Things like birthdays, blood types, favourite foods, etc. are things that contribute to the world building of a piece, making the characters feel more lifelike. The thing is suspension of disbelief counterbalances the need for these little quirks that don't matter to the plot. We never see the 8th celebrate birthdays, nor pay taxes, nor take out the trash but we don't need it to buy into the fiction

@Gatchwar:  Counter example:  Ash did celebrate his birthday in the movie short Pikachu & Pichu released as a part of the third movie.  (Note: the day that Ash turned 10 was also the day he received Pikachu.)

Which DBZ episode is the "Thanks, but I am already dead" meme from?
There is a common meme on the internet where Vegeta says "Thanks, but I am already dead". (YouTube clip)

What episode/movie is this from?

It's the Dragon Ball Z series, Buu Saga, episode 281, "Minute of desperation", minute 13:20. I dont think I can link the episode live here since they have copyright, but it's this episode described in the DBZ Wikia.
Minute of desperation

Oh Thanks! I see why this never caught my attention!  This is a dub only meme. People who watch anime in Japanese and don't care about English probably missed this one. This is one of those scenes were the dub changed the original text. In Japanese this was "Don't die." and Vegeta replied "that is not your problem".

Does the alternative universe Jotaro have Star Platinum?
I am trying to understand JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean's ending.

 After Pucci died, the universe reset, creating alternative versions of Jotaro and the cast killed by Pucci.

Does the alternative Jotaro have his stand Star Platinum? The same goes for Jolyne: does she have Stone Free?

The Stone Ocean ending is largely ambiguous. However, based upon the fact that Jolyne is named Irene in this universe, ending the 'Jojo' naming scheme, I'd guess she does not have a stand. The naming scheme because a tradition when the Joestars got the 'Joestar Curse'. For tradition to stop would imply that the curse is lifted, ending the series. Thematically, I think it would make more sense if she doesn't have a stand. In continuity, it would not make sense for any of the SO cast to have stands, as they all obtained stands via Pucci, or due to circumstances caused by Pucci, since Pucci's actions were erased, Irene, Anakiss, and Erme's alternate, never went to prison. Weather's alternate did not feel the effects of the arrow when Pucci was stabbed, as he was never stabbed.
As for Jotaro, there is no evidence that events uncaused by Pucci didn't happen as normal. Dio still awakened stands in Josuke, Jotaro. While Jotaro is never mentioned by name, it is likely his name is still Jotaro.

In the Materialization Shiritori game with Jibril, why didn't Sora say "Exceed"?
In No Game No Life episode 6, while Sora and Jibril are playing the Materialization Shiritori game, couldn't Sora just have said "Exceed" and it would've removed Jibril out of existence, which finishes the game because "30 seconds"?

The rules of the game were as follows (taken from the wiki, emphasis mine):

Similar to the normal Shiritori rules, each player takes turns to give a noun which does not end with N. The last character of the previous word said must be the first character of the next word to be said. Things that are present will disappear, and things that are not present will materialize. Players cannot cause the direct death of each other by stating the vital components of the body. The noun stated must be a non-imaginary word. Sora noted that words which are non-imaginary but the opponent does not know of can also be used.

You could maybe argue that causing direct death in one go is still permitted, but that would require a word being played that ended with a certain character. A list of all words used (both English and Japanese) is mentioned in the above wiki.
The word used for all the races in the wiki is Ixseed, but some pages still use 'Exceed' and I am not sure which one the official translation uses. In any case the Japanese word starts with an I sound rather than E, so it was not playable during the game. Flügel was also not possible.
One seemingly missed opportunity was saying "Jibril" after Tsumuji was played (The english word used here was 'Squall'). I presume this didn't work because the Japanese characters might be different (I couldn't confirm) or because the rules are ambiguous regarding proper nouns.

Re: Jibril, it's spelled as jiburiiru in Japanese, but perhaps it may violate the "direct death" clause.

Yeah, I couldn't find a Japanese spelling for Tsumuji that also matches the "Dust Devil" meaning mentioned in the wiki, so I wasn't sure if I was right to assume it was playable. Either way they didn't use it so it probably wouldn't have worked.

This seems to list the words that were used. Tsumuji is つむじ which can be continued by じぶりーる（ジブリール in katakana). Japanese blogs mention that the 'special' rule is that players won't be affected directly. (e.g. 具象化しりとりのルール②特殊ルール

Fate/stay night visual novel playing order
Why is it recommended to play Fate before UBW and Heaven's Feel (Fate → UBW → Heaven's Feel)
Since the Realta Nua version switches routes based on our choices, is it still recommended to play the VN in the recommended order (i.e. Fate → UBW → Heaven's Feel), or is it fine to play UBW before Fate (i.e. based on our choices)?
I know this is a general question, but while reading the other answers based on the order of the visual novel, most of them preferred the recommended order but did not give reasoning on why to follow the order.

While I still haven't actually played Fate/Stay Night, I'm fairly certain that the VN is structured in such a way that you have to play them in that order, because the options to unlock the other routes are locked until you do. So it's less about there being a particular reason to, and more simply because you don't have a choice. I may be misremembering, though, and like I said, I haven't actually played it.

Unless you have a complete save state you cannot play UBW before you have cleared Fate and you cannot play Heaven's Feel before you have cleared UBW. The choices to get to those routes aren't available.

@Ocean Yeah, shouldn't have installed the 100% save file. Without it there wouldn't be any route switches. Thanks.

In the original R18+ PC game, the route order was restricted, so the play order is enforced:

Fate
Unlimited Blade Works (complete Fate)
Heavens Feel (complete Unlimited Blade Works Good or True Ending)

There was also a way to enter the Unlimited Blade Works route without completing Fate from Day 4. However, it locks you into a Bad End for Unlimited Blade Works Day 5 and Bad Ends don't unlock routes.
Source: Full Image of the Mirror-Moon.pdf
Because Realta Nua PC is 3 separate games, each being each route, there is really no restriction. However, from my understanding, the plot is not changed, so some reveals such as characters and abilities are glossed over when they appear again in a new route e.g. Rider's identity is revealed in Fate but from my recollection is glossed over in Heaven's Feel because of the original assumption that the player had already completed Fate. Not to mention the impact of certain events in Heaven's Feel does not hold the same weight if it was played first.
While there is nothing stopping you from playing any order you want, my personal suggestion would be to follow the original game's enforced play order: Fate > Unlimited Blade Works > Heaven's Feel.

So, should I follow the flowchart for every choice I make while playing in order to not switch to other routes?

@sushi The route switches happen relatively early on I would advise against following the flowchart for a first playthrough because the bad ends do have content, it's not a simple "bad decision, die".

@Renari "the bad ends do have content" I can think of a few Bad Ends in Heaven's Feel that are sort of notorious for that.

@sushi if you're playing the Relta Nua PC release which comes as 3 games i don't think you can access the other routes in each game. if you've managed to get your hand on the original R18+ game, as Renari said the route changes happen early on. if you want to make sure you enter your desired route you only need to look up to Day 3 (look for SaberClear for Unlimited Blade Works or SakuraRoute for Heavens Feel)

You should follow this order not only because it is not possible to deviate from it without a cleared save state, but also because each new route expands more upon the world and various characters.
UBW contains spoilers for Fate, but not the other way around.
Heaven's Feel contains spoilers for UBW and Fate, but not the other way around.

oh,,didn't knew it contained spoilers to other routes,,thank you.

Why didn't Obito revive Rin by Rinne Rebirth jutsu?
As we all know, Obito choose the path to use Infinite Tsukuyomi for creating a lovely dream in which his crush Rin & Kakashi are alive, but he could use Rinne Rebirth jutsu to revive Rin.
So, why did Obito choose the path to cast Infinite Dream & why couldn't he revive Rin by Rinne Rebirth jutsu?

The Infinite Tsukuyomi was not all about Rin. Rin dying was the main trigger for him to change sides, but not the only reason.
He says that while he travelled under the identity of Madara through the world, he saw how bad things were and that's why he decided to move even more forward with the Tsukuyomi plan.
Obito meant to help the world itself, even if it sounds ironic or even dumb.

As he says, Rin is someone who isn't meant to die, what caused her to die at that young age, alongside many children sent to war, was the current state of the shinobi world, just like he says

The shinobi system... the village... what's created all these circumstances...

Therefore, he realized things had to change and he went forward with the Tsukuyomi plan.

This is a common misconception about Obito's character throughout the Naruto Fandom and beyond.
Obito didn't start the 4th Great Ninja War or strive to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan because Rin was killed, but because Rin being killed was endemic of a larger problem and that was the Shinobi World itself. From the very start, we see just how ruthless and cutthroat the Shinobi World can be, the fact that the Chuunin Exams held by the Hidden Leaf Village, the tamest of all the Elemental Nations, still had numerous Shinobi die shows just how twisted the world of Naruto can be.
And Obito isn't the only person to come to this sort of conclusion, Nagato did as well. He saw how corrupt the world was and sought to enforce his own version of peace where there would be one, over-arching figure-head so powerful, it would deter anyone from starting a war in fear of being wiped off the face of the planet. Obito wanted to create a world where everyone could live out their ideal fantasies without having to shed blood. And of course, for Obito, his ideal fantasy was being with Rin because, honestly, she was the first person to ever show him any sort of real kindness outside of a handful of people. Not to mention, Obito, much like Naruto, tended to get attached to his teammates, and would do anything to keep them alive/happy.

Doesn't Osamu Dazai and Fyodor Dostoevsky feel lonely because they have nobody around their same intellect? How do they manage their emotions?
In season 4, episode 8 of Bungou Stray Dogs, Dazai and Fyodor meets inside the jail. Suddenly, Fyodor initiates a discussion about their life troubles as a sort of counseling session. Although they both can have a hidden motive of exacting information from each other from this, I can't help and think about their both emotional and intellectual life.
Is there any person with whom they can feel a sense of connection? Is intellect even necessary to be emotionally open with someone or people would just be unable to understand what is going on in their minds? Is fulfilling their goals in life sufficient for them to move on and live the life? Or have they made their passions, the goals, the only purpose of their lives so as to not allow themselves to think about other things?

I believe that the biggest difference between the 2 is that Dazai was turned into the way he was while Fyodor just had a god complex since he was born.
If you didn't know yet, Dazai was molded into the way he was in the PM by Mori who had seen his intelligence and wanted Dazai to work for him, so he was trained at a very young age. But because he was molded the way he was, he still had shreds of feeling left and it could be seen by his 2 friends during the PM: Ango and Oda, and those two were the ones that really mattered to him. So when he lost them, he would have normally just completely gone crazy like Fyodor. But because Oda knew that and didn't want him to turn out that way, his dying last words were for him to be a good person. And because Dazai cared about them above anything else, he immediately quit the PM and was picked up by Fukuzawa. And since then, he has tried to surround himself with friends; friends like Ango and Oda were once to him and that had a major change to his mentality. And having experienced both sides of the world and with the request of Oda, he started to protect the good in the world by any means possible, which was why he took in Atsushi.
On the other hand, Fyodor was born the way he was. And because of his ability "Crime and Punishment" which can kill anyone with a touch, he was most likely isolated from his peers and thus never had a connection as Dazai did. And Fyodor becomes much more self-centered and his personality just keeps becoming worse with no one to keep him in check. And his ideals become much darker as he sees anyone that isn't as smart as him as worthless and isn't worth protecting. And with no guidance, he sought power above anything else; absolute power with no one to oppose him, and that naturally made Dazai his natural enemy. Not only is Dazai just as smart as him, but also his ability "No Longer Human" was the very thing standing in his way.
(This is just my theory as we don't completely know Fyodor's ability or his past yet)

How did Madara really obtain his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?
Regarding Madara's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, there are three canon stories on how he obtained it.
The first version is mentioned by Itachi, while explaining the Mangekyou to Sasuke. In this version, he tells that Madara took his brother's eyes. Itachi shows the scene to Sasuke through Genjutsu, where Madara places his fingers over Izuna's eye and Izuna is surprised by the action. This would mean a forceful extraction.
The second version is told by Obito, acting as Madara. He explains to Sasuke that Izuna willingly gave his eyes to him (Madara), to protect the clan from the dangers of the fame.
The third version is told by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, when he was reincarnated by Orochimaru. He tells that Izuna succumbed to the wounds (during the warring period) caused by Tobirama Senju. And it is assumed that Madara took his brother's eyes after he died.
So which version is the actual one? Or is it a mix of all three?

I'm pretty sure the last version, Hashirama's, is correct. Normally over time, a story gets told in different ways because everyone hears it differently. Which would make sense to why Obito's and Itachi's differ from each other and from Hashirama's (because after years they heard it differently?). I'm not sure tho, Hashirama could also be wrong.

But Madara trained Obito himself. That's where my doubts root from.

Good point, but can we really assume Madara never lied to Obito? He kinda did brainwash him (in a way) into working with him. I wouldn't see the point in him lying about this, but we never know.

I guess. I can't think of any change in Obito or the entire plan if this detail was lied about..

Itachi wanted Sasuke to hate him so he could get stronger and showed him a force full version of the story.

Based on the data that is provided by the story, we don't have enough information to make a deduction. The only witnesses to the event were Madara and Izuna.
While this means that Madara's account has greater credibillity than anyone else, Madara has a reputation for deceiving people, such as Obito, with complex webs of lies and staged events. As a result, we cannot consider him a reliable information source.
However, based on information provided in the Naruto Data Book (Number 4, page 37) on Izuna, Izuna gave his eyes willingly. So we can conclude that Madara was telling the truth, at least in this case.
For access to the Japanese data book I reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/2l976c/spoilers_the_complete_4th_databook/
For the translation:
https://aminoapps.com/c/anime/page/blog/naruto-data-book-izuna-uchiha/WltX_uRVgmj1rLGwaPw7envXJ0MEjo

Actually there night have been one more person who witnessed the entire chain of events..

There is one person in the Narutoverse who I find a less reliable source of information than Madara. And you found him.

Madara loved Izuna more than anyone else. Izuna was his precious little brother, he would never take his eyes by force. He took them after Tobirama killed Izuna, in order to not let his death be in vain.

Why were several fights skipped in episode 31?
In episode 31, we were in the middle of the fight between Hien and Senkuu which ends with Hien dying and Genji Togashi preparing to take his place in the fight.
Suddenly we are shown Tazawa and Matsuo who survived the fall in the river and met the principle Edajima Heihachi who tells them that they are in the middle of the 4th battle.
This is followed by a brief summary of the missed fights in a short time.
Why did they skip the battles and fast forward to the final battle between Momotarou and Daigouin Jaki?

Because the anime got canceled while in the middle of broadcasting due to receiving continuing protest from Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) in Japan.
From Japanese Wikipedia,

アニメ独自の解釈が折り込まれているが、放送当初からPTAの抗議が絶えず、中盤以降は放送取り止めを叫ぶほどに激化したという。結局、大威震八連制覇編で放送は終了することになり、第31話にて第2戦途中から最終対決までの経過をダイジェストで進める強引な手法が採られている。
While the original interpretation of the anime was folded in, PTA's protest continued since from the beginning of the broadcast, then got intensified until reaching to the point of "shouting" to stop the broadcast while in the middle of the story plot. In the end, since the broadcast was decided to end after "Great Trembling Conquest of the Unified Eight" arc, the battle from the middle of 2nd round until the final round in episode 31 was cut and summarized heavily to advance the progress.

What is the connection between the manga and movie of "Abyss of Hyperspace"?
When I watched the anime Bodacious Space Pirates, I learned that it was based on the Light Novel series Miniskirt Space Pirates. However, there was also a sequel movie planned called Abyss of Hyperspace.
While I was looking at the Yuricon website, I found a listing for Bodacious Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace Vol. 1.
So I am wondering what is the connection between the manga and movie of Miniskirt Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace? Are they an adaptation of one another or are they continuing their own media (the manga follows the light novel while the movie follows the anime)?

For Abyss of Hyperscape, the manga is an adaptation of the movie.
Wikipedia mentioned about this in a brief,

A manga adaptation of the film illustrated by Chibimaru began serialization in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive from February 2014.

However, the confusion between the continuity between the manga and the anime might arise because the anime overtook the original source (light novel)'s progress.
From Japanese Wikipedia,

原作の第3巻がまだあらすじしかできていない時期にアニメ化の企画が動き始めたため、第1話から第18話までは原作の第1巻から第3巻までに準拠した内容となっており、第19話以降は時系列的に現時点ではアニメオリジナルエピソードとなっている（原作10巻巻末時点で、まだ2年目の6月末）。また、当初は2011年後半に放送が予定されていたものが2012年にずれこんだ。そういった時間的余裕もあり、第1話の放送前に全26話の制作を完了した。制作に余裕を持てた状況も、前述のような異色の展開や実験に寄与している。原作のスペースオペラ的側面はやや薄められており、異星人的な種族などは登場しない。ただし最古参の海賊が存命しているなど、原作の要素は残っていたり、アニメ版からの逆輸入設定も有る。
Since the anime's production planning was about to start when the 3rd volume of the original source (light novel) had only a summary, episode 1-18 would be based on volume 1-3, and episode 19 and later would be anime original story based on the present time chronologically. However, while the broadcast was planned to start in the second-half of 2011, it was delayed until 2012. Because of the time allowance, the production for the whole 26 episodes has finished before episode 1 was broadcast. Moreover, the time allowance made it possible for the production to contribute to the different plot development and experiments. The "space opera" feeling from the original source was reduced, and alien-like races were not introduced. However, regarding the oldest pirate being alive and more, some plot from the original source still remained, but also some of the settings from the anime got adapted into the light novel too.

To summarize:

The light novel was adapted into a manga, and partially into an anime.
The anime continued with an original story while the light novel was still in progress.
The movie continued the anime, and a new manga adapted it.

i didn't know the anime overtook the light novel. really hoping that the part with Jenny and Lynn and how Chika is so into Marika are from the light novel

Who has the highest bounty in One Piece?
I'd like to know, who in the One Piece world has the max bounty declared against them till date? Note that the bounty amount has to be mentioned in either anime or manga or in the movies. I am assuming it is Katakuri? But I'm not sure.

The current highest active bounty is that of Charlotte Katakuri, one of the Three Sweet Commanders of Yonko Big Mom with a bounty of 1,057,000,000.

Taken from One Piece Wikia. One Piece Manga — Vol. 86 Chapter 860 (p. 14) is given as reference.

But I am very sure that Dragon is the most wanted man. Though not mentioned as a value, Garp and Robin said that he has the biggest bounty out there.

At what point in the manga/story did they say that? Maybe it is outdated.

As of chapter 957 "Ultimate" we now know that the highest bounty ever given so far is  5,564,800,000, the bounty of the Pirate king Gol D. Roger.

As of today, Monkey D Luffy has the highest known bounty of  1,500,000,000 (1.5 billion Beri)

true lol but then what about the bounties of the yonko?

Well, the Yonko would have higher bounties. But it's not revealed yet. But mainly, who would have the guts to defeat a Yonko and if successful, claim the bounty from the Government, all while showing they're as much as a threat the Yonko was?

lmaoo you do have a point there, but like I dont get why the Yonkos bounties are unknown, cause like one would think that the Most logical thing would be to pressure and capture all Yonkos since they have the a lot of powers and followers

The reason there are three divisions of power; World Govt, Shichibukai and Yonko, is because of their massive power. Hence the reason to why the Govt cant take them down. Each Yonko is as powerful as the Government.

What is COMITIA? Is it different than Comiket?
In Pixiv, sometimes I saw that as title. Here is the example: [ COMITIA119 ] 星の花束. Seems like it's a doujin. This is the first image (cover) - if anyone interested.

I found from Google that Comitia is a legal assembly of the people from ancient Republican Rome (seems like totally unrelated). At first I thought it's Comiket, but there's only 92 Comiket so far.
So what's COMITIA and what does the number represent? Seems like it's related to comiket after all. So how does it different than comiket?

Both Comiket and COMITIA are doujinshi conventions held in Japan. Both conventions are generally the same event with several differences. See What events usually happen at Comiket?
Main Focus
While both Comiket's and COMITIA's main focus is socializing and exchange doujinshi. COMITIA is the largest dojinshi convention focused completely for the exchange of original dojinshi in all genres. So unlike in Comiket, any doujinshi based on an existing work are not allowed in this convention. And unlike in Comiket where there are large numbers of cosplayers participate, there is no cosplay at COMITIA.
Frequency and Location
Comiket is held twice a year in Tokyo, in August and December. Generally referred as NatsuComi (Summer Comiket) and FuyuComi (Winter Comiket), in Tokyo Big Sight convention center. While COMITIA main convention is held four times per year located in various convention sites in Tokyo  depending on the size of the edition in question. And associated COMITIA cons are held in other parts of Japan as well. There are smaller editions are held throughout the year, 2 times per year in Osaka, Nagoya, and Niigata.
Participant
Comiket is way larger than COMITIA. In Comiket, the number of circles that can participate is limited to 35,000 where there are more than 30.000 circles participants in recent years. Where in COMITIA, about 2000 to 3000 circles have participated in every COMITIA in recent years. The hundredth edition of the main con, is set to welcome about 5000 circles.
Some professional mangaka also participate in COMITIA, selling their pro works directly to fans. But they must participate as individuals; company booths are not allowed. While in Comiket there are more than 100 companies, ranging from manga publishers to anime production houses to dojinshi resale shops and other fan-oriented companies, like Pixiv, can participated in Comiket. These company booths are located on a separate floor and have a separate catalog. Companies at Comiket generate publicity for existing and upcoming projects, and sell goods, often limited editions that are distributed exclusively at Comiket.
Inaugurated Date
The first Comiket was held on 21 December 1975. While the first COMITIA was held later on 18 November 1984.

Similar to Comiket, the number is the identification of the n-th edition of the COMITIA. Currently they have COMITIA122. The hundredth edition of COMITIA took place on 5 May 2012.

What's the song when Gaara cries out in episode 297?
What is the background music themed in Naruto Shippuden episode 297 (Link to Crunchyroll) at time 19:29 when Gaara cries out?
It is very heart touching. I really need it.

It's an unreleased soundtrack called "A Mother's love". I've linked the name to a youtube video of it.

What kind of animal is Chiko?
The pet of Kyuuta (Ren) is a fluffy ball of hair-like animal. Though Kyuuta thinks and says it is a mouse, I didn't find anything to confirm that Chiko is a mouse.
So what animal (if it is an animal) is Chiko?

Officially, Chiko is a mysterious, small animal.
The official site (Japanese) lists Chiko as,

チコ
九太と【渋谷】の路地裏で出会って以来、いつも一緒に行動している不思議な小動物。
Chiko
A mysterious, small animal that always with Kyuuta after their meeting on a back alley in "Shibuya".
(Emphasis mine)

In contrast, the official site lists some characters with their animal characteristic:

Kumatetsu: Bear (kuma)
Tatara: Old monkey
Hyakushuubou: Slim pig

Out-of-universe, it looks like a Kesaran Pasaran, a Japanese mythical creature (youkai) that looks like a white fluffy furball. While it has many renditions, one of them looks like this:

What's the deal with rotating voice actors in episode 6 of "Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei"?
The second half of the episode shows a wordplay on wisdom teeth (alternatively read as "teeth which parents don't know about") and during the entire gag, voice actors change around for every character.
What's the joke in that?

The original manga chapter this was based on (ep. 97) was the first chapter published after the announcement of the first season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, along with the staff and cast working on it. In this episode, whenever a character appeared, a subtitle with the character name and voice actor was also displayed, to drill the information into the heads of the readers (which at the time everyone thought "I know you're happy about the anime. I get it already.").
The anime studio took that joke and played it reverse, since it was a joke that only made sense in textual form (and we've listened to their voices for 1.5 seasons, so it would just sound like stating the obvious).
So basically it's a twist on a joke that only worked in the manga, which was published right after the announcement of the first season.

you answered it, but I'm still confused @_@

@Hakase It's one of those things that is easier to understand if you saw the actual comic. In the end, the CV swap itself is funny w/ or w/o the context.

From which series should I start watching Dragon Ball?
I know that Dragon Ball is a very long saga.

Which series should I start with?
Is there any of the new ones the reboot of the old ones?
If I start with Dragon Ball Super, will it be continuing the others, or is it a reboot of the first one?

If you want to start with the beginning, start with Dragon Ball. If you want to start with the most popular segment (probably the most entertaining segment, but this is a matter of opinion), start with Dragon Ball Z. Many people haven't seen Dragon Ball and yet they understand most of what follows it without watching Dragon Ball.
I don't know if Dragon Ball Z Kai counts exactly as a "reboot", but it is a modified version of Dragon Ball Z, in HD, with new color, new lines, new backgrounds, re-recorded voices and sound effects, new openings and endings, new background music, deleted scenes and episodes, etc.
Dragon Ball Super is a continuation of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball.

so watching Dragon Ball Z Kai instead of the original Dragon Ball Z is a viable option?

@TheFlow0360 https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3010/will-i-miss-anything-by-watching-dragon-ball-z-kai-instead-of-the-other-series/3015#3015

Dragon Ball Super is the latest iteration of Dragon Ball (as of current writing). I recommend starting with Dragon Ball, followed by Dragon Ball Z and then watch Dragon Ball Super if you wish to watch all the episodes in order and in succession.
There is also Dragon Ball GT which isn't canon with the original series. You could perhaps consider it as something which happens in an alternate timeline and watch it after Dragon Ball Z. Please note that Dragon Ball Super is the actual continuation of Dragon Ball Z.

Are Dio & Lucciola gay?
At first, I believe that Dio Eraclea and Lucciola were female due to their appearance and voice. However, at some part, people refer as "he" (English subtitle).
Wikia mentioned that both Dio Eraclea and Lucciola are male.

Are Dio Eraclea and Lucciola gay/homosexual (with explicit evident in anime/manga/novel)?
Do people in Last Exile always acknowledge that Dio Eraclea and Lucciola are male (without even mistaking them with girls due to their appearance or voice)?

As far as I know, It was never made explicit.  However, I always thought Dio was gay considering the interest he takes in Claus.

Dio and Lucciola are both male and definitely share a special relationship, but they're not in any kind of romantic or physical relationship.
To wit, Dio and Lucciola were friends as children growing up.  This continued until they reached maturity.  In fact, Dio holds Lucciola in such high regard that...

 Even after Dio is initially brainwashed by the guild (and Lucciola snaps him out of it by effectively sacrificing himself before Delphine), when he realizes that Lucciola is dead, he keeps the rear seat of his Vespa empty out of respect of the memory of his fallen comrade.  (Note that initially Dio demanded it stay empty because he was still a little distraught behind the loss of his friend.  He somewhat mellows out in Fam, the Silver Wing.)

However, make no mistake:

They're both male,
They're not romantically involved, and
They were definitely close friends.

You don't have to be sexually attracted to someone to have a close relationship with them.

Did Lucy Heartfilia and Zeref meet before the Eclipse Gate arc?
I'm currently writing a fiction about Lucy Heartfilia and Zeref. I believe that she doesn't know what he looks like and that they didn't meet during the Tenrou Island Arc but I'm not 100% sure of it.
Did they meet before the Eclipse Gate arc?

First of all are you following manga or anime, if manga then, fairy tail is finished, and i don't about anime. And for your answer i have no memory of them meeting face to face, i might be wrong though.

I'm mainly talking about the manga here though there is probably no difference between the manga and the anime when it comes to my question since there aren't any "non-canon" episode that involves Zeref before the Eclipse Gate arc.

IIRC, no they did't, at least not in Tenrou arc and as i stated above, i doubt that they actually met each other face to face in any chapter of manga

No, Lucy never got the chance to look at Zeref.
Only Natsu, Elfman, Evergreen, Happy and Gray (in chapter 522, "Gray's Trump Card") have seen him. Lucy has heard of Zeref but never got a chance to see him.
However, towards the end of the manga series, Lucy does meet a Zeref look-a-like in chapter 545 (way after the Eclipse Gate Arc), "Friends you Can't do Without". The way he is portrayed was that he was a young writer attempting to meet with Lucy Heartfelia after her award ceremony. He picks up the handkerchief dropped by, what looks to me, Mavis Vermillion. They both engage in a conversation then leave, never to be seen for the remainder of the chapter.

Why was the hidden mist called the village of the Bloody Mist?
In Naruto series, I've heard the term "the Village of the Bloody Mist" when referring to "the Hidden Mist" many times.
What does it represent?

Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist, is know as Bloody Mist Village due to the cruel nature of their academy’s graduation exam. In order for their academy student to graduate, they had to fight to the death and only those who survived would move on to being a shinobi.

Village of the Bloody Mist
Over time, the village became infamously known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist" (血霧の里, Chigiri no Sato) for a cruel reason — in the Kirigakure Academy, students wishing to graduate (only members of the lowest caste in the novel)had to fight to the death, and only those who survived could advance to the ranks of the ninja

However, this gradation method was eventually discontinued after Zabuza slaughtered an entire graduating year of students

The Academy's graduation methods were discontinued after Zabuza Momochi, not yet a student himself, killed an entire year's graduating class

Why is Blackbeard in Impel Down?
I am currently watching One Piece and I'm at the part where Luffy is trying to escape Impel Down. Blackbeard appears at the entrance to Impel Down when Luffy and Co. starts the escape from Level 6.
I didn't understood what Blackbeard is looking for at Impel Down. In the first place, I thought he wanted to fight Magellan but after been poisoned, I think his goal wasn't this.
What is Blackbeard's purpose?

he wanted some new crew from level 6

Have you considered watching and finding out on your own? We could obviously tell you exactly what happens but that wouldn't but too much fun :/

@solalito I watched it but I didn't found out... I'm at episode 450. You could tell me what appens, even if I approximately know what will happen. One thing is shure, Luffy won't die ^^

Well, if you really want to know, you can watch the arc to the end since everything will be "explained" there, or you can read the spoiler.
If you really want to know ahead, Darjeeling's comment told you what happened:

 The whole reason Blackbeard took the title (Shichibukai) is so he can gain access to Impel Down and recruit some new members. He descended to the last level (6) where the most dangerous criminals are held (for the info, even the existence of this level is unknown to the general public) and recruited the members there. However, he made a competition. He told the prisoners to kill each other in their cells and he will rescue the winners (take them into his crew). At the end, there were 4 prisoners left: Vasco Shot, Avalo Pizarro, Sanjuan Wolf and Catarina Devon. Alongside them, another person joined the crew,  the former chief guard of Impel Down, Shiryu (Shiliew). (From Wikia)

Anyway, I recommend you watch the anime/read the manga and find out this on your own.

I will watch it and after I will accept the response ;)

I watched the episode where Shiryu gave Blackbeard and his crewmates the antidote against Magellans' poison. After this, Blackbeard said "welcome to the crew". So it is obvious he was looking for new crewmates. Thanks again for your complet response ;)

What is the song that plays when Midoriya is explaining the origin of heroes in season 2?
What is the name of the instrumental that plays in the majority of the season 2 intro scenes when Midoriya is explaining the origin of heroes?
It's in season 2 episode 3 at the very beginning before the opening theme song plays. It sounds more like a choir/alternate version of I Am Here.

The song is called "Avant Title" in the second season original soundtrack! I was looking everywhere for it too. It's so beautiful, my heart is about to burst :D

You must be talking about  Watashi ga kita
Find a youtube link to it here
Edit:
Got you buddy. As you mentioned episode 3 of season 2.
It is one of the variations of the All Might theme. Updated my answer. :-)

I love You Can Become a Hero but that's not the song I am talking about. It sounds more like a choir/alternate version of I Am Here but I can't find it anywhere

Why did all Kurta Clan get beaten up even though they have the Scarlet Eyes?
Kurapika is so powerful with his Scarlet Eye. We already know that all Kurta Clan has the Scarlet Eye.
According to that, why did all the other members of the Kurta Clan get massacred by the Phantom Troupe?
Couldn't they use the Scarlet Eye to fight back Phantom Troupe? Is there no "hero" in Kurta clan, or in this context, a person that has improved and mastered his Scarlet Eye?

I guess, people of kurta clan may not know the to use the Nen, and fighting against Nen takes gives disadvantage to non nen user.. Also I guess Kurapika is only one who got out from his village to outside world, though I am not sure of it for other people

There is an inherent assumption in the question, "IF Kurapika is so powerful with his scarlet eyes...". Yes it is true that when a member of Kurta clan becomes enraged they gain an increase in physical strength, however they lose their rationality and revert to a primal form. We do not know if the "Scarlet Eyes" causing Kurpika to become a specialist is unique to him or the Kurta clan. Your other question regarding the so called "hero" has simply no base or answer at all because the Manga gives no information.
However, you've to understand that the Phantom Troupe themselves are very powerful Nen Users. They can easily go against numerous "physically powerful" people, they can easily kill them. This is what Nen brings to the table and all members of The Phantom Troupe.
Kurapika was able to bridge the gap by utilizing his "Scarlet Eyes". He was able to turn his eyes Scarlet at will. By utilizing the conditions of Limitations and putting his own life at stake he greatly boosted his Nen abilities. He is a skilled Nen User, has high combat prowess, genius level intellect, and enhanced speed, perception and reflexes.
To end, as far as we know Kurapika is strong BECAUSE of his clan massacre and his innate skill and not because of his clan. The Phantom Troupe is an elite group of Nen Users who can take on any other high level fighters. We don't have enough history about Kurta clan to know if there was another "hero" for the clan.

@Gagantous My answer already covers that bit. We don't have enough info on Kurta or their eyes. So we don't know if there was resistance, were they ambushed.... Buffs due to the eyes can be easily negated by a skilled fighter. HxH focuses on fights where anyone can beat anyone.

The Kuruta are not a warrior born people. They are reclusive and peaceful and prefer to be left alone. This is the only reason why they were massacred.
There are no backstories to support why they chose to be so, however, their scarlet eyes does lean towards them being highly aggressive in the past. And must've been the foremost reason why they chose to live outside of other's reach.
They are inherently strong creatures due to their nature but as I've said they are peaceful beings.
It's easy to assume they do not use nen, because if they did they would have been extremely powerful as Kurapica is.
And for Uvogin to say that it was a hard job taking their eyes and have stated that they were really strong. One could only assume that like Kurapica, most of them has the ability of Emperor Time as well, giving them nen and boosting their power levels at a considerable level. Because Specialist ability is hereditary(blood line), the Kuruta having the Emperor Time is a very likely probability.

This seems like a lot of speculation and is very unsupported.  They show an unusual characteristic when emotional so must be genetically disposed to aggressiveness.  Torturing a whole race of people to death was hard so they must all have magic and one particularly rare type of magic at that. I would argue that nen affinity is clearly genetic based on Killua's and Gon's families but you don't make that point.

They are predisposed to being aggressive, as evidenced by Kurapica's sudden outburst on the thugs that were bullying them. One reason is that they are mostly feared creatures, which would elicit violent responses and therefore stroke their emotional responses into one direction and that is to be aggressive. Also Uvogin is an immensely powerful combatant and for him to say that it wasn't an easy job can only mean the Kuruta's Scarlet Eyes are immensely powerful. "Specialists have abilities that are either genetic or will develop in time depending on circumstance and environment".

We can't assume historical behavior of whole clan by evaluating one special member even if the member is the only one left. He didn't just kill the clan.  He tortured them to death one by one to cause the most possible emotional pain and the best color.  He easily could just be saying that it was a lot of work. More importantly though: What is the source for your quote?  If reputable and canon, that is the best argument yet that "emperor time" is tied to the Kurta clan and not just to Kurapica.

I edited my answer. Uvogin specifically said they were really strong. That's the pillar to the rationality of my assumptions. From what we've heard or read, they were always depicted as reclusive and peaceful, while to some are demonic. Which prompts me to say they might have a history of violence, since their Scarlet Eyes forces them to go into a berserk like state(from what we've seen in Kurapica). And therefore ultimately becoming reclusive for that sole reason alone. So yes, in accordance to the question, I try to back my answer with details(facts) that would tie in to it very well.
