Like a mate that kept a lock of your hair in a locket around their\nneck all the time so they'd always have a piece of you with them.\n\n_grin_\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI don't know the exact reason why Clow Reed created the Clow Cards. however i\nbelive that they weren't created solely for the purpose to give to Sakura.\n\nCardcaptor Sakura is apart of a greater Multiverse in which other CLAMP Titles\nsuch as _Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE_ and _xxxHolic_ are set in. in that\nmultiverse Clow Reed is known as the greatest magician of all time and one of\nhis abilities is Prophetic Dreams\n\n> Clow possesses the powers of a Dream Seer, allowing him to see into the\n> future. However, unlike most other characters, who could only see fragments\n> of the future, Fei Wang stated that Clow can see everything, which gave him\n> free reign to control events, hence how he had managed to foresee Sakura\n> collecting the Clow Cards, making him create a Sealing Wand of the color\n> pink for Sakura being a girl. He even knew that he would, as Eriol, cause\n> problems for her to help her create Sakura Cards.\n\nSource: [Clow Reed - Powers & Abilites - Prophetic\nDreams](http://clamp.wikia.com/wiki/Clow_Reed#Powers_.26_Abilites)\n\nofcause if he foresaw Sakura sealing the cards and made the Sealing Wand\nspecifically for her why did he let all that happen in the first place? the\nreason was that when he neared his death he had chosen Sakura (who had yet to\neven been born) to succeed him and most of it was by design.\n\n> When Clow was nearing death, he chose Sakura Kinomoto to be the new mistress\n> of The Clow. Sakura was not yet born at the time, but Clow's magical ability\n> allowed him to foresee most of the future and plan many of the situations\n> that would enable Sakura to succeed in taking full possession of the Clow\n> Cards. The reason why Sakura's wand is pink is that he wanted to make a\n> suitable wand for the young girl who would be mistress. It wasn't because of\n> chance that Keroberos chose Sakura.\n\nSource: [Clow Reed - Background (1st\nParagraph)](http://clamp.wikia.com/wiki/Clow_Reed#Background)\n\nas such the seal on the Clow Cards, while it did lock away the powerful magic\nthat was the Clow Cards, it was only until it was Sakura's time to claim them\nand thus the reason why the book was in Sakura's home and not in Li's who is a\nblood decedent of Clow Reed.\n\nThe reason why i say that the Clow Cards weren't created just to give to\nSakura is that in the first Cardcaptor Sakura movie Su Yung/The Madoushi, a\nformer apprentice and lover of Clow Reed, was sealed inside the Book of Clow\nuntil Sakura unintentionally released her. while it is possible the Cards were\ncreated long after the Book of Clow considering the book's magical independent\nuselessness after the cards were released i would think that both the book and\ncards were created at the same time.\n\n",

I think this is a relatively recent coining - the\n[Nicopedia article on this\nterm](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E5%A7%AB%E7%94%B7%E5%AD%90) dates [to\n2012](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/revs/a/%E5%A7%AB%E7%94%B7%E5%AD%90/1-), and the\nearliest clear attestation on Twitter I've found is [this\none](https://twitter.com/takacma/status/38230994368598016) from Feb 2011\n(though, I don't know if Twitter was popular enough in Japan prior to 2011 to\nbe reliable for gathering attestations). This term does not appear to have\nvery much purchase (certainly much less than _fujoshi_ or _fudanshi_ ), but it\ndoes exist.\n\nAs you might expect, it has a counterpart 姫女子 _hime-joshi_ lit. \"princess-\ngirl\" for a female person who enjoys lesbian/yuri media.\n\nThe term 百合好き _yuri-zuki_ lit. \"yuri-liker\" exists and would be well-\nunderstood, but it's compositional in meaning and doesn't feel like a distinct\n\"word\" to me.\n\n* * *\n\nI speculatively submit the following as a possible reason why there are no\nclear analogues to the term _fujoshi_ : a woman consuming media about male\nhomosexuality is somehow more \"scandalous\" or otherwise unusual than a man\nconsuming media about female homosexuality. It is well-documented that men, on\naverage, are really into lesbian porn (see e.g. [\"Why Straight Men Gaze at Gay\nWomen\"](https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/03/straight-men-and-\nlesbian-porn/472521/)); I imagine the same extends to non-pornographic media.\n\nThis may explain why there is a well-accepted name for _fujoshi_ (they're a\nweird outgroup, gotta call them something) but not so much for _hime-danshi_\n(\"you're not into lesbians? what are you, _gay_?\").\n\n[Note, indeed, that _fujoshi_ was, at least originally, a term of derision\n(\"rotten\"), while the nascent term _hime-danshi_ isn't derisive, at least not\nto the same degree. While researching this answer, I came upon a number of\ntweets observing (humorously or otherwise) the latent sexism here.]\n\nSimilarly, there's a strong segregation between BL media and \"everything\nelse\". If a male homosexual relationship shows up in something targeted at\ngeneral audiences, it's generally not well-received (cf. _Shinsekai yori_ ,\nwhich barely depicted any male homosexuality and still got people up in arms).\nIf a female homosexual relationship shows up, though... who's going to\ncomplain about that? And so, we have \"media for _fujoshi_ \" on the one hand,\nand \"media for 'regular' people\" on the other, and the latter bucket includes\nmedia about female homosexuality, so why would we need a name for people who\nlike that stuff? They're just \"regular\" people, right?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nNo. the reason you think so is because you're looking at the Scanlation.\n\nthe reason why i suspect this is because looking at [Manga Update's entry on\nBtooom!](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=45009) shows that the\nscanlation by S2scans & JazzWay Team stops at Chapter 88 which is Volume 18\n\nHowever the same page also indicates that Btooom! has been lienced by Yen\npress who have only released up to Volume 16 with [Volume\n17](http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/none/btooom-\nvol-17/9780316502856/?yen) due to be released near the end of May 2017 in the\nUS\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/wWaSh.png)\n\nwhile Yen Press only lists up to [Volume\n18](http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/none/btooom-\nvol-18/9780316502870/?yen) (as of 21/03/2017) Manga Updates indicates there\nare 22 Volumes and is on-going, confirmed on\n[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btooom!#Volume_list) with Volume 22\nhaving been release January 7th 2017 in Japan\n\n[code]\n\n No. | Japanese release date | Japanese ISBN\n -------------------------------------------------------------\n 22 | January 7, 2017 | ISBN 978-4-10-771949-2\n \n[/code]\n\nSo to summarize, the localized and licenced version of Btooom currently (as of\n21/03/2017) ends at Volume 16 which stops at Chapter 81 however release by Yen\npress is on-going and more volumes are expected to be released. any release\nafter this outside Yen press currently is not an official copy.\n\nUPDATE: as of the 17/8/2017, Wikipedia lists that the english version of\nVolume 19 is due November 14, 2017. this can further be confirmed on [Yen\nPress's Website for Volume\n19](http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/none/btooom-\nvol-19/9780316412780/?yen). also looking at the\n[series](http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/series/btooom/?yen) in general on\ntheir website they have up to Volume 21, however Volume 21 doesn't have any\nPaperback or Eletronic links so looking at [Volume\n20](http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/none/btooom-\nvol-20/9780316520584/?yen) it's expected to be out February 20th, 2018.\n\nAs such this is more or less confirmation that the english version of Btooom!\nwill not end at Chapter 88 as Chapter 88, as explained above, is in Volume 18\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSetsuna learns how to play Haruki's guitar because she loves him and can't\nlive without him even though he abandoned her.\n\nTo understand this answer better I highly recommend reading these two links\nabout Setsuna and Kazusa.\n\n[How much does Setsuna Ogiso love Haruki in White Album 2 anime and visual\nnovel?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/39005/how-much-does-setsuna-\nogiso-love-haruki-in-white-album-2-anime-and-visual-novel)\n\n[Does Touma Kazusa love Haruki in White album 2 anime and visual\nnovel?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/38988/does-touma-kazusa-\nlove-haruki-in-white-album-2-anime-and-visual-novel)\n\nThe song she plays in her epilogue is quite relevant. It is \"Snow Powder\".\nThis is a love song for Haruki. It is a song quite different from her usual\nlove song for him \"Todokanai Koi\" (which shows her unrequited love for\nHaruki).\n\nIn Snow Powder there's no longer any hope. It is a song where she says she\nwill never forget the first time they kissed, she also says she still loves\nhim, it is mentioned that he was kind to her (in the visual novel she always\nmentions how kind he is to her and that he's the only one to show such\nkindness)...\n\nAlso notice that the lyrics was changed to adapt to the new situation (the\noriginal snow powder song had different lyrics that could be addresses to\npretty much anyone). If you ask me the most relevant part is when she says she\nwill never forget when they first kissed. It was the time she confessed to him\nand he accepted her.\n\nHaruki had spent more than 2 years being Setsuna's boyfriend. He had told her\nshe was the only girl for him. He had made her so many promises. He had asked\nher to marry him, and of course she had accepted (when she accepts she already\nknew he was lying to her and meeting with Kazusa behind her back. Even so she\nthought \"As long as you choose me in the end everything's alright\").\n\nAfter spending 5 years in Europe Kazusa goes back to Japan. She had been\nthinking about Haruki all this time and suffering without him. She thinks that\nSetsuna had become her worst possible enemy as she had snatched the man that\nshe loved. Then Haruki, who starts meeting her without telling Setsuna, must\nmake a choice: Be truthful to the girl that had always been loyal to him,\nmaking her yet again the happiest girl in the world and the happiest ever\nsince her birth (as she had said she was when he had accepted her feelings in\nconcluding chapter) or destroy her and make her the most miserable girl in the\nworld.\n\nHaruki finally abandons Setsuna and both him and Kazusa decide to completely\nalienate from her. They go to Europe together and after some time they get\nmarried.\n\nSetsuna had always wanted to be the number one girl for Haruki and to hog him\ncompletely. She had always been hurt because he paid too much attention to her\nand she knew Kazusa would steal him (because she had always been deeply in\nlove with him).\n\nThis is one of the conversations that take place in concluding chapter. After\n3 years fighting for him and crying countless nights because he wouln't accept\nher feelings he finally accepts. Setsuna thought her deep depression would\nfinally stop. She would be the happiest girl because she had finally won. But\nthis is what happens. She said she had been waiting since her birhday 3 years\nago (when Kazusa was still friends with her) to give her body to him. He had\ntold Setsuna he had forgotten about Kazusa. She is now the only girl for him\nand they can move on, he would stop ignoring her. But suddenly she sees a\nmagazine on the bed. It was an article Haruki had recently written about\nKazusa because of his work (he was a journalist and Kazusa a famous pianist).\nThis is what happens:\n\n> **Setsuna:** \"I've read this article dozens of times already\" \"I've gone\n> through it countless times. And every single time, I would start with a\n> bitter smile, and then start laughing out loud as it got sillier\" \"And by\n> the time I finished, I would always be drenched in tears.\" \"Haruki-kun, have\n> you really forgotten about Kazusa?\"\n>\n> **Haruki:** \"I have... It took me a whole 3 years... And in that time, I\n> made you go through some truly painful experiences, I'm really sorry...\"\n>\n> **Setsuna:** \"What do you mean you forgot?\" \"You're telling me you're\n> different from how you were 3 years ago!?\" \"I'm gonna snap now, ok?\"\n> (finally facing me with her red, swollen eyes) \"I've read this article\n> dozens of times. And everytime I did I laughed and cried...\" \"Both my heart\n> and body ached unbearably... and I'd spend the night alone, sleeplesly.\"\n> \"Because... what you're saying hasn't changed at all. It's the same as when\n> you went chasing after Kazusa back then.\" \"It's so filled with love. Isn't\n> it overflowing with your feelings for Kazusa!?\" \"This... this article...\n> it's the same as your words back then!\"\n>\n> **Setsuna:** \"Having read such a touching love letter, how do you expect me\n> to accept this...?\" \"LIAR!LIAR!LIAR!LIAR!\" \"When I came out of the bathroom\n> just now... your face looked like that of a child who was caught red-handed\n> doing something aweful\" \"Even after all these years...\"\n\nAs you know after that Setsuna finally calms down and a few days later she is\nsleeping with him and telling him she's never been so happy in her entire life\nbecause he finally accepted her feelings. The next 2 years are super happy for\nSetsuna. After that he asks her for marriage but instead he chooses Kazusa.\n\nKazusa says:\n\n> I have become the happiest girl in the world; It is the best thing that ever\n> happened in my life. Truly\n\nShe also says she is the most fortunate girl in the world now and that\nreturning to his warm embrace is the best thing that has happened to her. At\nthe same time she also says that even though it was at the expense of causing\nher friend to become the \"most miserable girl in the world\" (obviously\nSetsuna) she still feels tremendous happiness. Personally I really enjoyed\nKazusa's true ending. Kazusa showing Setsuna she wants Haruki more than\nanything else (by wanting to cripple her own hands, therefore ending her\ncareer) really surprised me. It also surprised me the game tells us that only\nwith Haruki can Kazusa reach her full potential as a pianist (luckily her\nhands are fine), so she'll be a big shot. If something I didn't like that\nHaruki left his friends behind and Kazusa did the same with her mother (She\ndecides to live in Japan because of her leukimia).\n\nI didn't like Kazusa's normal ending though (in contrast with her true ending\nwhich I explained before). Haruki sleeping countless times with Kazusa yet\nbeing unable to break up with Setsuna was quite frustrating. As you know in\nthe end Kazusa faces reality and gives him to Setsuna because he would be hurt\nin the future otherwise and she doesn't have the abilities to cure heart\nwounds (and Haruki's indeciveness sure make it seem he would be hurt if he\nabandons Setsuna. As a matter of fact he's already suffering from all the\nhorrible things he's done).\n\n> Kazusa: Only she can heal you, I cannot.\n\nConsidering she leaves Japan and that her mother (who should die soon) lives\nin Japan and the fact that she says in Coda she can't fall in love with\nsomeone other than Haruki it's not the best ending for her.\n\nSetsuna forgiving Haruki so easily for what he did to her is what she always\ndoes ( no matter what he does to her marrying Setsuna is always available to\nhim). Not that it helps much though as if it wasn't for her this would also be\nan ending with Kazusa. She played victim hoping Haruki wouldn't break up with\nher and it paid off. Not that I'm against it, love is love and not being able\nto give up on him (like when she says in the VN: \"I will never give up on\nhim\") is nice.\n\n",

As Master said the\nlyrics of Snow Powder was changed for this epilogue. The part that gets\nrepeated (the chorus of the song) is \"I will never forget the lips I first\nkissed\" and \"I still love you\".\n\nIn introductory chapter Setsuna had emphasized that kiss, it held trememdous\nimportance. When she confessed to him she told him she was gonna kiss him but\nthat he could avoid her. Instead he chose to reciprocate those feelings. It\nwas the time everything started and Setsuna would always be bound to him ever\nsince.\n\nRegarding the guitar, she needs his guitar because A) As shown in closing\nchapter without Haruki's guitar she can't sing and B) She needs Haruki.\n\nThrough the guitar, Haruki had empowered Setsuna. Without him, she could not\nsing. Without his presence, she couldn’t be true to herself. She had loved\nhim, and he too, to her, at a point, somewhat. After he had departed she had\nstolen his guitar. She had taught herself to play the guitar — she had\nemulated the role that he had carried out prior. She declares blatantly, not\nonly through the lines ‘I still love you’, that her love for him is\namaranthine — but through her playing of the guitar. She had taught herself\nthe item which made Haruki, Haruki. She made her own Haruki. And as a result,\nher love for him never did fade. Never did diminish.\n\nBoth girls (Setsuna and Kazusa) wanted to marry just one person, and that\nperson is Haruki. That is the drama of White Album 2. At least one girl is\nbound to get the short end of the stick (There are 3 side-heroines and one\nending for each of them so Haruki can reject both of them. Funny that if he\nchooses another girl Kazusa and Setsuna still don't reconcile, so they're not\nfriends).\n\n",

Blowing s*** up\n 2. Getting the job done\n\nThe guild hall has been destroyed completely on more than one occasion along\nwith towns and villages being blown to the ground due to battles, scuffles and\neven arguements amongst members. This is shown early on from Natsu v Gray,\nNatsu v Erza, and pretty much Natsu v anything.\n\nIt's shown in a few episodes that Natsu and the team take a job and either\ndon't feel comfortable taking the reward because it got done in a round about\nway (like in Lucy's first job) or the money that they were supposed to get\nwinds up getting donated by the guild to rebuild what ends up getting\ndestroyed.\n\nNow to answer the question as to how these guys even survive, this comes from\ntwo things.\n\nThe first is pretty obvious which is that not all of their members outright\nend up destroying stuff, some of their top-tier wizards (Gildarts,Erza,\nMystogen, Lauxus, etc) do take jobs that pay lucratively high and bring home\nthe bacon which happens to cover it.\n\nThe second is up to speculation and there are some theories out there. But the\ncannonical answer is that the plot demands it. The heros are supremely\npowerful but kept in check constantly by the laws of the society in which they\nreside. Kind of like how Luffy and the strawhats are rarely ever shown being\nstocked up on ship supplies.\n\n",

Also after the battle, in the movie Beerus mentioned that he was using\n70% of his strength while in the anime he simply said he was not using all of\nhis power. I'm sure there are some more details I have missed (oh yeah maybe\nanother important one: in the movie they were fighting at the Capsule Corp\nheadquarter while in the series the battle was on a cruise ship.\n\nThe second movie: most notable changes in the anime are that Ginyu swapped\nbodies with Tagoma and that Piccolo had died. Also there is a difference in\nhow the dragon wishes were used but I don't remember how it went right.\n\nIf you plan to watch the series, as I said before you can skip the first 2\nseasons, nothing major was changed and it is a real slog. Almost an entire\nepisode was dedicated to Goku's transformation to a God. They literally stand\nin the circle for 10 minutes while he was transforming.\n\n",

Although, it\ndoes retain the abilities of his Sharingan, this has been observed in other\nSharingan/Rinnegan users, such as Hagoromo and Madara. It also doesn't feed on\nhis chakra if he's not using it, but he does have to close his Rinnegan if he\noveruses it.\n\nI hope I answered your question and please correct me if I'm wrong on any\npoints.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI started watching _Those Awaiting a Star_ despite my concerns. I am currently\non ch. 15 of the manga, and I didn't have any trouble understanding the first\nepisode. I did notice, however, certain details that would require knowledge\nof certain manga chapters:\n\n * Early in the episode, Ruth speaks to Chise as a dog. Later, he transforms into a boy to eat breakfast with her and Elias. Understanding this requires the viewer to have finished reading the arc where Ruth is introduced and where he becomes Chise's familiar. **_In other words, the viewer must have finished reading ch. 12._**\n\n * Reference is made to Chise being a Slay Vega. The OVA also depicts Chise as being haunted by her ability to see magical creatures invisible to others as a child. **_Both of these aspects of Chise were discussed prior to the Ruth arc._** (Unfortunately, I forgot the exact chapters, particularly since some of the information in question is spread out over several chapters.)\n\n * One reviewer complains that we are not introduced to Elias or given an explanation for why Chise is studying magic. Personally, I do not think we actually need to know either. As far as I am concerned, this can simply be handwaved as part of the worldbuilding or plot construction. **_Either way, sufficient context is given in the beginning chapters of the manga, in the first volume._** The above also holds for Angelica's appearance at the beginning.\n\nSince everything above is explained in enough detail by the point in the manga\nwhere Ruth appears and becomes a familiar, it would appear sufficient that an\nOVA viewer at least read the manga up to ch. 12, if not finish vol. 3.\n(Although Ruth's attachment to Chise happens in ch. 12, it took me until ch.\n14 to properly understand that Ruth could shape-shift.)\n\n",

Also its a\nlogical fallacy to assume Hisoka doesn't buy/borrow/steal cards since its not\nshown. The seemingly cards out of nowhere is a nod to the \"Magician\" theme of\nHisoka.\n\nHisoka carries with him a normal Deck of cards and uses Nen (Shu(?)) to make\nit razor sharp enough to kill. Similarly Gotoh and Illumi can use Nen to\nfashion deadly projectiles.\n\nOne of the examples I can use here is that of Gotoh vs Hisoka fight.\n\n> Hisoka was able to fire back the coins used by Gotoh, if they were conjured\n> he would've simple \"unconjured\" them instead of shooting them down. This I\n> think proves the coins were real\n\nThis is a common trope in many Anime or Manga where the characters have\nseemingly endless supplies of \"anything\" they may need. Kunai and Shuriken in\nNaruto never seem to run out, Duelists in Yu-Gi-Oh never run out of cards etc.\n\n",

The\nterm [chibi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibi_\\(term\\)) literally means a\nshort or small person, in this context refers to something that's short and\nusually cute. A chibi version of a character would be a different character,\nor maybe that character in the past when they were younger. For example the\ncharacter [Chibi-Usa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibiusa) from Sailor Moon\nis essentially a younger version of main character Usagi, but still a distinct\ncharacter. Chibi-Usa isn't a caricature of Sailor Moon, she's drawn like any\nother child her age. On the other the super deformed giant robots in [Mobile\nSuit SD Gundam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Suit_SD_Gundam) are\ncaricatures of the normal sized giant robots in previous Gundam series. They\naren't drawn simply as smaller version of the robots, instead they have\nexaggerated heads that are about half as tall as the entire robot.\n\nTo put in a western context, super deformed is like getting your portrait\ndrawn by one of those street artists you can find in areas frequented by\ntourists. Something like chibi would be the series [Baby Looney\nToons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Looney_Tunes) where the characters\nwere all infant versions of the classic Looney Toons characters.\n\n",

Even Goku knew\nthat they had to leave quickly while everyone else didn't really bother to...\nbut they survived.\n\nThe gods that were sleeping were probably wakened by their angels (equivalents\nof Whis). They can ofcourse refuse, but that gives Zen-oh a chance to\neradicate their entire universe, as if they never existed.\n\nThe arc from when Zen-oh was introduced up until now simply prove how much\npower he possesses due to the gods fearing him.

At least now 1 won't be\npunished... anyway back to your question.\n\nApart from the unknowning creatures anyone fears Zen-oh, because in the end\nthey all want to survive, hence why they listen instantly to anything from\nZen-oh.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nYou know your niece better than I do, but as I said in my comment, if I were\nyou, I would consider letting her watch it.\n\n_Madoka_ is a dark and tragic story, but I don't believe the violence is too\nmuch for a ten-year-old. The most brutal scenes are shot in a way that you\nunderstand what's happening without needing excessive gore. There's no sexual\ncontent; the only possible sticking point is the lesbian subtext in Homura's\nrelationship with Madoka, but it's subtle enough that she probably won't\nnotice it, and if she does notice it, it could be a good chance to have a talk\nwith her about same-sex relationships.\n\nI'm recommending this because I think she might actually enjoy _Madoka_ ,\nthough maybe not for the reasons she thinks right now. These kind of anime\nseem to be a good bridge between simpler, more formulaic stories for children\nand more ambiguous, sophisticated material for adults, because they deal with\nmature themes but still do so from a young person's perspective. They're\nspiced up with reality without being wedded to it, and from that they attain a\nkind of truth that speaks to older children and teenagers. I first got into\nanime beyond Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z when I was eleven, and it was because I\nwatched _Evangelion_ , which is a very dark show, and was entranced by how it\nsubverted expected tropes about heroes, villains, and piloting giant robots. I\nshowed my younger sister the 2003 _Full Metal Alchemist_ when she was about\nten, and the quite dark Shou Tucker storyline from early in the series made\nsuch an impression on her that she mentioned it to me again years later.\n\nI would sit her down beforehand and explain that _Madoka_ is different from\n_Pretty Cure_ (Glitter Force? Is that what Netflix is calling it?) and\nwhatever other magical girl shows she might have seen, and she might not like\nit. Explain that it's a dark, sad show where lots of bad things happen to\ncharacters we like and there is no happy ending. Once you've explained, ask\nher if she still wants to watch it. If she does, I would let her.\n\nBecause it is so different and so shocking, she might want to talk about it.\nTake her questions seriously and do your best to answer them in a way she can\nunderstand. This could become a very good opportunity to talk about all sorts\nof mature topics. The difference between violence in movies and in reality,\nfor one, since _Madoka_ derives part of its shock value from how it treats\nfantasy battles between girls with magic powers and weird alien creatures,\nwhich in other magical girl shows are trivial or even fun, as serious warfare\nthat can leave the girls scared witless, traumatized, or dead. Or there's the\nparallels between the magical girls and child soldiers forced to fight in real\nwars. There's the resemblance of Homura's mental state to PTSD. There's\nKyouko's being a homeless runaway who steals food to live. There's the\npresumptuous imperialistic meddling of the Incubators, who've decided for us\nthat we'd rather they kill off our children to keep their society going so\nthat we can find them when we develop warp drive and go off into space. Of\ncourse, it's better to wait and see what questions she has about the show,\nrather than try to turn the viewing into a film studies class, but these are\nall things you could mention if they come up.\n\nIf she gets scared or bored and decides that she doesn't want to watch it\nanymore, don't judge or say \"I told you so\"; just leave it alone. Better to\nlet her find out for herself instead of trying to stop her; forbidding her\nwill probably just make her more curious.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI'll break this response up into two parts:\n\n * What you should say to your niece, and\n * Why you should or shouldn't let her watch the show.\n\nDo forgive me for plastering the word \"cartoon\" here; my gut feeling tells me\nthat this is the [animation age\nghetto](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnimationAgeGhetto) which\nAnime just loves to be pigeonholed into.\n\n* * *\n\nNot all cartoons are meant for children. There are some which are meant for a\nmore mature audience, like teenagers or adults. In this specific show, the\ncharacters deal with harsher and more serious topics than you've ever watched\nin a normal show; this is something that I'm not sure you'd be able to handle\nat your age.\n\nIt's not only important to look at the cover of the show to give you a rough\nidea of what it's about, but also its age rating. [The rating says it's\n13+](http://www.rightstufanime.com/Puella-Magi-Madoka-Magica-Blu-ray-1-Hyb)\nbecause of the things it discusses: violence, horror, and a lot of\npsychological ramifications of being a magical girl.\n\nEven after what I've said, if you're still interested in seeing it, let your\nparents watch a few episodes first. Make sure they give you the OK before you\nwatch it.\n\nJust so you understand, **this isn't the same type of cartoon you're\naccustomed to watching,** and you may have a lot of concerns, confusions, or\nfears from watching it. If you want to talk about it or ask questions, I'd be\nhappy to answer them for you.\n\n* * *\n\nSo, should you let your niece watch it?\n\nWell, **it isn't your call.** It's her parents' call.\n\nIn the response above, I ensured that the responsibility of making that\njudgment call was given to her parents and not you, since you don't want to be\non the hook for introducing your niece to something she might not have\npermission to see. That said, so long as said permission is obtained, there's\nno further objection on that front.\n\nIn my opinion, she might actually like the show. She's at an age at which a\ndeconstruction of a work she's familiar with may give her a new perspective on\nthe genre as a whole, which could serve to mature her and frame her opinion on\nanime and manga altogether in a way that isn't terribly one-dimensional. You\nalso have to balance this with the possibility that she never trusts a label\nthat has colorful pictures and magical girls on it ever again.\n\nIt's important that you treat this as a recommendation you'd be making to a\nfriend. It's just that the \"friend\" you're recommending this to would be your\nniece's parents. The niece has to understand that this isn't something you can\nsimply cosign on and say it's okay to watch, and the parents have to\nunderstand what it is they'd be getting their daughter into.\n\n",

Examples are _Pretty Cure series_ (and most of magical girl\nanime), _Doraemon_ , _Hello Kitty_ , and _Pokèmon_. The screening times are\neither morning (weekend) or evening, where children are on their free time\n(not school time).\n\nLate night anime, on the other hand, tends to cater to audience from teenage\nto young adult, usually with more serious & in-depth plot, and even violence\nand sexual topic. Other examples are _Cowboy Bebop_ , _Rozen Maiden_ , and\n_Attack on Titan_. The screening time may start as early as 10pm, up to 2am,\nthe time which children should have been sleeping.\n\n* * *\n\nFor your 10-year-old niece case...

She still wanted to\nwatch it.\n\nOverall the experience was pretty positive even though episode 12 scared her a\nlittle (and I don’t blame her).

She came up with some of her own logic and\nopinions that was just wonderful.\n\nWhat I love about Madoka and Evangelion (which I saw going in blind as a 14\nyear old) is the shows are so deep that you can really get those cognitive\njuices flowing and get people to think. So part of the enjoyment watching it\nwas not only talking about it but seeing her actively think critically about\nit. Things overall seemed fine.\n\nHowever, months later she had an outburst where she admitted it scared her. A\nsolid few months have passed since that outburst and now she told me he\ndoesn’t like the show. I’m not regretful showing her this show at her age\ndespite the delayed negative responses. Had I known about it in advance I\nmight have picked a lighter show to dig in deep, but then again it’s deep\nbecause of how it explores the darker places it goes. I didn’t know there was\ngoing to be an issue (and really it isn’t one) until months after we finished\nit.\n\nUltimately let her parents decide, but if they’re okay with it I’d recommend\nwatching the entire show so they can explain and talk about it deeper than\njust the story. There’s a lot of stuff to talk about and that’s where the\nenrichment this modern classic of anime comes from in my opinion.\n\n",

(A data-driven answer would be\nbetter, but I don't want to spend very long trawling AniDB/MAL/etc. If\nsomebody does that, I'll award a bounty.)\n\nFrom the bottom up:\n\n> Third, are there any examples of anime that have asymmetrical seasons like\n> this? Recent and otherwise examples would be nice.\n\n * _Shokugeki no Soma_ (2 cours → 1 cour)\n * _K-ON!_ (1 cour → 2 cours)\n * _Monogatari_ (15 episodes → 1 cour → 2 cours → 1 cour → 2 cours, not counting the 2-hour-ish specials or the movies or _Koyomimonogatari_ )\n * _Full Metal Panic!_ (2 cours → 1 cour → 1 cour)\n * _Kimi ni Todoke_ (2 cours → 1 cour)\n * _Haikyuu!!_ (2 cours → 2 cours → 1 cour)\n * _Nisekoi_ (20 episodes → 1 cour)\n * _Psycho-Pass_ (2 cours → 1 cour)\n * _Yama no Susume_ (1 cour → 2 cours; this is a short)\n * _Little Busters!_ (2 cours → 1 cour)\n * _Shingeki no Bahamut_ (1 cour → 2 cours)\n * _Yowamushi Pedal_ (3 cours → 2 cours → 2 cours)\n\n(This is mostly recent stuff; I haven't watched enough older stuff to have a\ngood sense for how things worked back in the day.)\n\n> Second, how often do second or third seasons break from the cour-count of\n> previous seasons? Does it happen at least once a year, or is it uncommon\n> enough that the last time it happened was ages ago? Does it even happen at\n> all?\n\nThe list above is just the ones I remembered offhand as having \"asymmetrical\"\nseasons while I was scrolling through the list of anime I've seen. And, alas,\nI have not yet achieved my lifelong dream of watching literally all the anime,\nso there are naturally going to be others that I didn't notice.\n\nI'd say this is the kind of thing that happens maybe a few times a year or so\n- it does seem to be infrequent relative to \"symmetrical\" seasons, but not so\nrare as it seems to you. Certainly not something that hasn't happened in ages\n- _Shokugeki no Soma_ 's second season was Fall 2016, and _Shingeki no\nBahamut_ 's second season is starting soon, in Spring 2017.\n\n> First, is there a particular reason for this, or is it \"just tradition\"?\n\nHere is one clear reason this would happen:\n\n * Long-running cash cows aside, the number of cours in a particular season of a particular anime is a small integer - almost always 1, 2, 3, or 4; and most frequently just 1 or 2. Even if anime season lengths were randomly either 1 or 2 cours, we'd expect to see 50% of two-season anime be \"symmetrical\". In reality, there is a moderate bias towards 1-cour anime (at least in the present day), so that even absent other factors, we'd expect _more than_ 50% to be \"symmetrical\".\n\nAdditionally, I can offer the following speculative thoughts:\n\n * Some varieties of anime intrinsically lend themselves to particular cour lengths. \n * Many sports anime, for example, are structured as a series of tournaments, each of which features a number of competitions, with each competition taking up multiple episodes; this is typically the kind of thing that lends itself to having a tournament per season, with each season consisting of 2 or more cours. \n * On the other hand, comedies that aren't _Gintama_ seem to fare best when they don't drag on for too long, biasing them more strongly towards 1-cour seasons.\n * If you have an anime that's based on an ongoing manga/novel source, structuring it as a bunch of 1-cour seasons seems to be an effective way to both 1.) avoid running out of source material; and 2.) avoid having long gaps without an anime. _Natsume Yuujinchou_ strikes me as a quintessential example of this.\n * If you have an anime adapted from source material that has a regular/predictable narrative structure, and you successfully adapted it into an _n_ -cour anime season, it stands to reason that its next anime season would probably also be well-served by an _n_ -cour run.\n\nI think we see a number of systemic factors that bias multi-season into being\n\"symmetrical\" and no systemic factors that bias them into being\n\"asymmetrical\".\n\nOf course, on a case-by-case basis, there will often be factors that make it\nmake sense to have \"asymmetrical\" seasons. For example, with _K-ON!_ , the\nfirst season was so enormously successful that the production committee\nwould've been fools not to ride that cash cow into the sunset. And as for\n_Haikyuu!!_ \\- while it does follow the \"2-cour sports anime\" format for its\nfirst two seasons, the thing is that its second tournament is long enough that\nthey just split out the most exciting part of it into a separate season, which\nseems reasonable.\n\n",

And was beated (not physically but mentally)\nhe then said “If she(Rin) was more of a heartless person, I’d not turn back to\nbe my old self (who believes in Hero of Justice)” Hence, Tohsaka Rin plays\nhuge part in Shirou development as a person and also as a human being who\nbelieves in his ideal heroism.\n\nArcher isn’t cold to Rin if you watch the anime carefully, he just has ‘Kill\nEmiya Shirou’ as his first priority. To do so, he can’t let Rin help Shirou\ngets Saber back and remains the alliance between them. After his betrayal, he\nstill protected Rin for multiple times. Making conditions with Caster, Shinji\nand Gillgamesh to postpone Rin executions.\n\nThough, if I were to say, it’s not like there’s completely non-romantic\nmoments of them. Sometimes Archer seems to attract Rin passionately by his sly\npersonality and his looks as well. In fact, the reason why Archer doesn’t show\nany fascination towards Rin that much because 1. She’s 16-17 years old Tohsaka\nRin, it was mentioned in both VN and Anime that Archer sees Rin as a child/\ngirl only. Not as a lady. 2. She already has the Shirou that is his present\nversion beside her. It’s kinda weird to start Romance with your young master\nwhen your old self is already in love with her. Not to mention Archer has\nalready decided to erase his existence by killing Shirou so why bothered? If\nhe has feelings for Rin, it must hurt and is hard to leave without regrets.\nSo... yeah. \n\n",

"body": "\n\nInitially, it's stated that servants are kept in the world by the Holy Grail.\n(This comes up in the Good End of \"Unlimited Blade Works,\" but I imagine this\npiece of information might have appeared earlier.) They also need a mana\nsupply; note also that servants who had become separated from their masters in\n_Fate/stay night_ did not immediately disappear. In the case of Gilgamesh,\nboth of these conditions were fulfilled. The Holy Grail was still around, and\nKotomine kept the orphans from the fire under the church and used them as a\nmana source.\n\nIn the events of _Fate/stay night_ , other servants were also retained, even\nwhen the Grail was destroyed. In the \"Good End\" of the \"Unlimited Blade Works\"\nroute, Saber stays in the human world. Rin has been supplying mana to her, and\nshe asks Shirou to help her. Similarly, in the \"True End\" of \"Heaven's Feel\",\nRider stays with Sakura even after the destruction of the Grail; per [the\nwiki](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Sakura_Matou#Heaven.27s_Feel), this is\npossible because Sakura has enough mana reserves because of her connection to\nAkasha.\n\n[The Wikia](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Gilgamesh) also gives an\nexplanation of what happened to Gilgamesh at the end of _Fate/zero_. (I cannot\nprovide much more commentary on this, since I haven't followed the series\nlately.)\n\n> Due to his proximity, Gilgamesh is caught off guard and becomes drenched by\n> the pollution that spills from the Holy Grail. He obtains a physical body,\n> and because he has been incarnated into the world, he decides that it is\n> time to once again unite the world under his rule. He continues to follow\n> Kotomine after the war is over, and Kotomine provides him with energy\n> drained from children orphaned by the fire to sustain himself. He decides to\n> wait for the next Holy Grail War to cleanse humanity, so he retrieves a\n> potion of temporary youth from his vault that reduces his physical age and\n> allows him to smoothly blend in with society for ten years.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe only similar-sounding word that I recall hearing in _Yuri!!! on Ice_ is\nthe _Russian_ word _vkusno_\n([вкусно](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%B2%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE)),\nwhich in the show is sometimes used by characters to mean \"tasty\". (For\ninstance, it appears in ep. 2 when Victor is introduced to\n[katsudon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsudon), and when in ep. 9, Yuri\nKatsuki tastes the katsudon [pirozhki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirozhki)\nthat Yuri Plisetsky's grandfather made.)\n\nThe IPA transcription of вкусно is [ˈfkusnə]: it is then not implausible that\na casual listener might miss the initial [f] sound or be confused when\ntranscribing the final [schwa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa), leading\nto a transcription like _kusna_ or _kusno_. (When encountering unexpected two\nconsonant combinations, I have sometimes missed the first consonant entirely:\nfor instance, when I first heard the Hebrew song \"Hatikvah\", I heard\n\"tsofiyah\" (צופיה) as \"sofiyah,\" because it was easier for me to process what\nI heard that way when I was not listening carefully.)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs animated television goes, anime is actually made on the cheap. [This\narticle](http://lineboil.com/how-much-does-an-animated-tv-episode-cost/) goes\nover the costs per episode of a few different US animated shows; every one of\nthem is more expensive than the cited high-end cost of $300,000 per episode\nfor anime.\n\n_The Simpsons_ seems to be top in costs; according to the article, it cost\naround $2 million per episode in 2007. [A 2011\nsource](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/simpsons-renewed-two-more-\nseasons-245748) indicates that voice acting costs per episode alone were\naround $300,000, and that was after the actors took a 30% pay cut, coming down\nfrom a high of around $440,000 per episode. That means _The Simpsons_ was\npaying more per episode **for voice acting alone** than the entire budget of\nan average anime episode.\n\nAs for the rest, Nickelodeon apparently spends around $600k per episode on\ntheir animated shows; the sources come from comments made around the release\nof _TMNT_ , but [a post in a\nforum](http://www.toonzone.net/forums/threads/spongebob-budget-\nquestion.5255321/) cites a _Wall Street Journal_ article that I can't read\nbecause it's behind a paywall claiming that _Spongebob_ too is around $600k\nper episode. I was shocked that [_Drawn Together_ got $700k per\nepisode](http://www.awn.com/blog/drawing-close-drawn-together-movie-movie)\nsince it was widely regarded as terrible and was canceled. [This Cineeuropa\narticle](http://cineuropa.org/dd.aspx?t=dossier&l=en&tid=1437&did=201387)\nclaims that the average hour of US animation in 2007 cost €776k (about $800k\ntoday).\n\n[An Answerman\ncolumn](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2015-09-08/.92622) from 2015\nalso goes over this and offers some conjectures about why: US animators get\npaid more, thanks to unions and other market factors, and voice actors, like\nother television actors on US TV, tend to make more money as the show goes on\nlonger, as we saw with _The Simpsons_. In [another 2015\narticle](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-05-15/study-animators-\nearned-usd28000-on-average-in-japan-in-2013/.87762), ANN reports on a study\nfinding that animators in Japan make around $28,000 a year, which is a very\nmodest salary in the US. [This 2009\narticle](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-09-10/directors-dispute-\nreports-of-poor-animator-salaries) goes into more details on staff salaries in\nanime. [Another Answerman\ncolumn](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2015-08-19/.91831) touches\non voice actor salaries in Japan and mentions that most voice actors make\nbetween $120 and $360 per episode, though the more famous ones can set their\nprice.\n\nSo anime are not really that expensive to make, in terms of the usual cost of\nproducing a professional level half-hour animated television show with top\ntalent.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAccording to Dragon Ball Wikia, being a God (Divine Being/Non Mortal) and\nhaving Godly Ki are two different things. Goku and Vegeta are normal mortals\nbut they still can harness God-Ki because of training with Whis.\n\nNow on to your second question. As I explained above God-Ki can be obtained\nthrough training. Currently Goku and Vegeta has both the ki (Normal ki and\nGod-ki). It is totally dependent on the characters which to use, if Goku\ndecides to use only god-ki then his friends like Krillin would never be able\nto sense his power (ki). He uses both forms of ki. Even Supreme Kai have both\nki, that's the reason Goku could sense him. As for proof you can visit Dragon\nBall Wikia: <http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Ki#Deities>.\n\nIt states:\n\n> Deities use a rare form of ki, known as God Ki (神の気, Kami no Ki), which is\n> referenced as early as the Majin Buu Saga, but fully introduced in the movie\n> Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. It has been shown to be far above the normal\n> usage of ki. Despite this type of energy dwelling specifically within gods\n> and other high-level deities, god ki can be obtained by mortals via various\n> means, including special rituals passed down through legends, and highly\n> intense training under the supervision of an angel.\n>\n> Godly ki is a more powerful version of ki. As seen during the God of\n> Destruction Beerus Saga, Goku is unable to be on par with Beerus until he\n> absorbs the power of Super Saiyan God. Goku is able to briefly fight on the\n> same level after having lost his Super Saiyan God form when his mind was\n> adjusted to Beerus's level of power and speed. However, it is implied to\n> have been a temporary instance. After Goku and Vegeta train with Whis, they\n> are able to use the god power in their base and Super Saiyan forms, making\n> the transformations more powerful at will.\n>\n> The God of Destruction Beerus, his mentor Whis, their siblings, and Saiyans\n> who obtain the power of a god are able to use this form of ki, all of them\n> vastly surpassing almost everyone else. The Supreme Kais also possess both\n> normal ki and godly ki as they are \"Gods of Creation\", the opposite of Gods\n> of Destruction, and both Kibito Kai and Old Kai are able to sense Beerus as\n> well. It is implied that, since they possess both normal and godly ki, they\n> lack the strength of those with purely godly ki. Kibito also appears to have\n> godly ki, as Dabura states that neither his or the Eastern Supreme Kai's\n> energy can be used to release Majin Buu from the Sealed Ball.[6]\n>\n> Several beings who do not possess godly ki are capable of sensing it: Dende\n> possesses the ability to sense godly ki due to the fact he is Guardian of\n> Earth (which would imply that Kami and the other Guardians of Earth also\n> possess the ability to sense it as well when they held the position) and is\n> able to sense Beerus's ki.[7] After greatly powering up to the level of the\n> gods, both Goku and Vegeta also possess the ability to sense godly ki.\n> Objects like scouters are unable to scan the power level of a user of godly\n> ki. In Dragon Ball Super, Frieza gains the ability to sense godly ki after\n> his four months of training as he can sense Super Saiyan Blue Goku's ki and\n> feels that it is less powerful than the normal ki of his Golden Frieza form,\n> certain beings with power or strength that surpassed Super Saiyan God (such\n> as Future Trunks' power increase after his transformation into Super Saiyan\n> Rage, and Frieza's clan members' power increase after achieving their Golden\n> forms) can sense Godly ki.\n>\n> Due to Goku's body being taken over by the Supreme Kai apprentice of\n> Universe 10, Zamasu, and then engraving Goku's fighting power into his own,\n> Goku Black possess godly ki. Every time Black transforms into his Super\n> Saiyan Rosé form he covers himself with Godly ki.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nBefore they are famous, many seiyuu would work part-time whether it be at fast\nfood restaurants or even physical works. For example the seiyuu [Uchida\nAya](http://love-live.wikia.com/wiki/Uchida_Aya):\n\n> During the early stages of her career she supported herself with part-time\n> jobs such as being sales staff at departmental stores, production line\n> quality inspector at factories, and sometimes even menial labor carrying\n> cardboard boxes. The key criteria she had in choosing her jobs were that\n> they had to be shift-based and versatile such that she could report to her\n> entertainment office any time she needed\n> to.[2](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/36207/why-do-seiyuu-famous-\n> for-doing-eroge-still-use-alias)\n\nOthers also have career as eroge seiyuu (Nitta Emi, voiced a character in an\neroge, Da Capo III), before they went famous and might continue even after\nthey are famous, such as [Itou Shizuka and Asakawa\nYuu](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/36207/why-do-seiyuu-famous-for-\ndoing-eroge-still-use-alias).\n\nLike all entertainment job, a seiyuu job has its peak, and after that peak is\nover, the number of job offers one receive would reduce. I'm curious as to\nwhat does a seiyuu that is no longer at their peak of fame do for a living\nwhen they no longer have many anime to voice? **Do they work on eroge? Or just\nnormal games? Or they turn into salary-man/woman (office workers)? Please give\nsome examples with your answer.**\n\n**Edit 1:**\n\nIf they retire at age of 40 or so (which is already stretching it as most\nfemale seiyuu would see the peak of their fame at their 25s, while the male\nones would still be able to retain their fame longer), then they still have\naround 30 to 50 years of life ahead as a retired seiyuu. Certainly they would\nstill need some jobs that earn them money to support their living, which is\nwhat this question is about. This is especially true since seiyuu don't get\nroyalties from having their voice recorded, unlike singers. Mangaka gets their\nroyalties from every copy of goods that is produced from the series they make.\n\nkrazer suggested that they are like athletes and other celebrities, they\nretire. Many athletes continue working after they retire from their\nprofessional career. Some famous footballer becomes a coach, for example,\nZinedine Zidane, Antonio Conte, Diego Simeone, Pep Guardiola, and many more.\n**But as for seiyuu, I never heard of a seiyuu that turned into a voice-acting\ncoach.**\n\nsenshin suggested that they do Hollywood dubs, while Aki Tanaka suggested that\nthey do freelance voice-acting and voicing for mobile games. Problem with this\nis that as Aki has mentioned, it is not regular, while their living bills\n(accommodation, food, etc) still needs to be paid regularly. And with the\nseiyuu being no longer at the peak of his/her fame, freelancing might not be\nenough to earn them the money they need. Also I don't think the number of such\njob available is not much. I mean how many hollywood movies are being dubbed\ninto Japanese anyway? I bet not much. Only the famous ones would see itself\nbeing shown in Japan. As I noticed from games such as Chain Chronicles,\nKancolle and Panzer Waltz, one seiyuu voice several characters in such games.\n\nThus, I think the number of jobs available from dubbing Hollywood movies and\nmobile games won't be that much, and they still have to compete with seiyuu\nthat is still at the peak of their fame, plus the rookie seiyuu as they are\noften also chosen to mitigate the production cost.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n> What I'm asking here is what most seiyuu do after they are no longer famous\n\nFirstly, the assumption that other professions with an early retire age\ngenerally have a following job that most workers transition to is not entirely\naccurate. For your NFL example, according to\n[this](http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000383420/printable/report-19-percent-\nof-nfl-coaches-have-experience-playing-in-league), only 19% of coaches were\nformer players and when you consider the much faster player turnover rate and\nthe fact that there is far more players than coaches, it is clear that most\nplayers do **not** become coaches.\n\nIn the respect of what seiyuu do after their peak, they are just like other\nprofessions of a similar nature. **If someone needs money, they try to get the\n'best' job they can with their skillset and connections.** What someone's\nconnections are, and what they view 'best' to mean is **so** subjective, and\nvaries so much from person to person that it is impossible to point to a\nspecific job as what most seiyuu do after fame. (and thats before bringing in\nthe ever-changing job market)\n\nThe next job is still _likely_ to be at least partly related to seiyuu work,\nsince that is their skillset and they probably made some connections along\ntheir career that could offer them some other work. However, this is not\nnecessarily true and because of the variation of job market and each person's\ncircumstance, it seems meaningless to point to any specific examples of\nworking ex-seiyuu's... Someone could probably make a very long list, but\nhopefully this should answer your question to satisfaction.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n# Overview\n\nMost of your examples have to do with the fact that converting a \"Western\"\nname into the Japanese syllabary is a\n[lossy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression) operation, meaning\nthat it's not always possible to reverse-engineer out the original \"Western\"\nname just by looking at how it's written in Japanese.1\n\nIt's not that the names are changing over the course of the story, it's that\nthe translators are translating the same name in different ways at different\npoints in time.\n\n# Examples\n\n> The princess of Alabasta had her name written as\n\nHer name in Japanese is written ビビ, which is romanized _bibi_. So you can see\nhow one might think this is from \"BB\". But one could also plausibly think that\nit's supposed to be \"Bebe\" with a long \"e\" /i/.\n\nThe other problem is that historically, Japanese did not have the \"v\" sound\n/v/, and used /b/ in its place, so you can see how one might come up with \"VV\"\nor \"Vivi\" too. (My impression is that Japanese is in the process of developing\n/v/ on account of loanwords; cf.\n<https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/24498/>.)\n\n> Darius's son had his name as\n\nHis name in Japanese is written シャビィ, which is romanize _shabii_. In English,\nthere are many ways of representing the \"sh\" /ʃ/ sound. Think of words like\n_**sh** ingle_ or _**ch** ute_. In other languages that use a Latin-derived\nalphabet, there are still other ways. Consider, for example, the Spanish\nfootballer [Xavi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavi) \\- whose name in\nJapanese is spelt シャビ _shabi_ , which only differs in vowel length. I suspect\nthat whoever romanized it as \"Xavi\" was taking inspiration from Spanish.\n\n(And again, the \"b\"/\"v\" thing from before still applies.)\n\n> His sister\n\nHer name is written シャルル, which is romanized _sharuru_. This is the standard\nJapanese spelling of the English name \"Charles\", but since the character is a\nwoman and \"Charles\" is almost exclusively masculine, I'm guessing the\ntranslators were forced to pick a similar-sounding approximation instead. The\nabove comments about how \"sh\" is written apply here too.\n\n> So I'm guessing Xenophon could have also been\n\nThis character's name is written ゼノフォン _zenofon_. A reasonable translator\nwould immediately jump to \"Xenophon\" for this because \"Xenophon\" is a real\nname, while theoretically-plausible alternatives like \"Xennofaun\" and \"Zen\nO'Fon\" are not. But you're correct - there are other English spellings that\ncould have been written in Japanese as _zenofon_.\n\n> The \"Famous Detective\"\n\nI don't know what's going on here - the character's name is plain old Japanese\n毛利小五郎 Mōri Kogorō, and I don't know why anybody would read his personal name\nas \"Togo\". However, I don't read _Detective Conan_ , so if there's a plot\nreason for this (maybe he goes by an alias or something at one point), I\nwouldn't know.\n\n# Discussion\n\nThis is a recurring problem that plagues translations of all anime and manga\nthat feature characters with names that aren't either Chinese or Japanese.\n(Chinese typically can be reverse-engineered correctly because the names will\nbe written in kanji, meaning you can just read off the modern Mandarin\npronunciations for the characters. Note, though, that [other issues sometimes\noccur when romanizing Chinese names in Japanese\nmedia](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/37426/).)\n\nSometimes, official guidance about English spellings will be provided by the\nauthor or publisher, in which case you can just go with those. (Though, be\nwarned, sometimes they pick objectively _terrible_ spellings. I distinctly\nrecall _Heavy Object_ being particularly ludicrous here.)\n\nAbsent official guidance, translators have to take their best guess. This gets\ndifficult when the names of the characters in a given anime/manga are names\nthat are either extremely rare or outright do not exist in the real world - at\nthat point, you're basically pulling guesses out of your nether regions. This\nwas a _huge_ issue for _Akame ga Kill_ \\- see the table below, where\n\"unofficial\" means what the fan translations thought the name was before\nofficial guidance was provided. (This isn't even an exhaustive list!)\n\n[code]\n\n ╔══════════╦══════════════╦════════════╦══════════╗\n ║ Japanese ║ Romanization ║ Unofficial ║ Official ║\n ╠══════════╬══════════════╬════════════╬══════════╣\n ║ マイン ║ main ║ Mein ║ Mine ║\n ║ ブラート ║ buraato ║ Burat ║ Bulat ║\n ║ ラバック ║ rabakku ║ Rabac ║ Lubbock ║\n ║ シェーレ ║ sheere ║ Schere ║ Sheele ║\n ║ エスデス ║ esudesu ║ Esdese ║ Esdeath ║\n ║ ラン ║ ran ║ Ran ║ Run ║\n ╚══════════╩══════════════╩════════════╩══════════╝\n \n[/code]\n\n# Notes\n\n1 By contrast, we can almost always determine the correct Japanese spelling of\na name by reading a Nihon-shiki romanization of the name, though we can't\ndetermine which kanji were used to write it. This is partly to do with the\nrelative phonological richness of English as compared to Japanese, and partly\nto do with the fact that the Japanese \"alphabet\" is a syllabary (making\ntransliteration difficult), whereas the English alphabet is indeed an\nalphabet, and a highly non-phonetic one at that.\n\n",

As your saw in Naruto Episode 95 (I think), Kabuto took a\nlot of damage when Naruto drove a Rasengan into him.

Just like one of\nthe variations of the Rasengan, the Rasenshuriken, the user has to perform a\nchange in chakra to create the chidori.

"body": "\n\nIn Episode 2 of the anime _Yuyushiki_ , Nonohara Yuzuko drew something in\nresponse to Hinata Yukari's drawing of a strange penguin-like creature, and\nwrote down \"Sunagimo Umataro\" (砂肝うま太郎) on the same page. After some search on\nthe Internet, I now know that \"Sunagimo\" means \"gizzard\", which is a digestive\norgan in chickens and ducks that may be made into food, and \"uma\" is just a\nway of saying \"delicious\". It seems to me that \"Sunagimo Umataro\" is a name\nthat Yuzuko came up for the creature in the drawing, but I am still not smart\nenough to connect all the dots and make a meaning out of this. Specifically, I\nam having trouble figuring out\n\n 1. What exactly are those items that appear in Yuzuko's drawing?\n\n 2. How is the drawing supposed to be connected to the name \"Sunagimo Umataro\"?\n\nI apologize if this is question has an obvious answer. (Maybe _Yuyushiki_ is\njust too difficult for me!)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/eaYXP.jpg)\n\n",

As you noted, 砂肝{すなぎも} means\n\"gizzard,\" which is an organ common to most birds (note the drawings bird-like\nappearance). 太郎{たろう} is a common male name suffix, and [according to a search\non\njisho.org](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%86%E3%81%BE%E3%81%9F%E3%82%8D%E3%81%86%20%23names),\nthere are at least two names (both of whose first _kanji_ corresponding to\n「うま」( _uma_ ) mean \"horse.\" Leaving it in _kana_ may also be, as you noted, a\nplay on 「うまい」( _umai_ ).\n\nIn conclusion, the weird name was most likely crafted to reflect the decidedly\nweird semblance of the creature in the drawing.\n\nAlso of note, the speech bubble translates to something like \"don't be so\nunreasonable,\" and the text to the left of the image translates to \"[the]\ntruth is SCARY.\"\n\n",

I say this\nbecause chakra as we learn in the anime was originally given to Hagoromo\nŌtsutsuki during a time period in the history of Naruto where no one had\nchakra, after which she passed it on to her children. Therefore it's\npresumable that of the other people alive at the time some of them could have\ncontinued to have children without ever mixing bloodlines with those who had\nchakra all the way until Naruto's generation.\n\nNow despite this I can see how considering how many generations it has been\nthere's not likely to be many left who haven't attained chakra, but do you\nthink they are there, and why were they never a plot point for the show?\n\n",

If there is light in the movie, it's just a mistake. A reason for Shaft\nto make something beautiful, that's all.\n\nAbout the following stories of Monogatari, you will notice that Araragi lost\nthe most part of his vampire abilities. In the end of Kizumonogatari you will\nlearn that Araragi have to kill Shinobu if he wants to turn into a human.\nThat's why Shinobu is so weak in Bakemonogatari. Araragi didn't want to kill\nShinobu so they found a compromise. By weakening Shinobu, Araragi became weak\nas a vampire and lost the most part of his abilities. It also means that his\nweakenesses, like the sun became less important.\n\nYou will notice in bakemonogatari and other stories that Araragi hates the\nsun, not because he hates it as a human, but because he kept a small part of\nhis weakeness to the sun.\n\nActually, at the beginning of the Kizumonogatari movie Shinobu looks younger\nthan in Bakemonogatari but that's not the case. This is misleading. In the\nlight novel they say she look like a ten year old girl in Kizumonogatari and a\neight year old girl in Bakemonogatari.\n\nThis also explain why Araragi is able to regenerate himself so fast in his\nbattle against Kagenui Yozuru. Shinobu was older in this scene. She was a\nteenager.\n\nI checked on the wiki and here is what they say :\n\n> Kiss shot planned on having Koyomi kill her so she could finally find a\n> proper way to die and allow her minion to turn back into a human. Instead,\n> after having her plan revealed, Koyomi rejects it as he doesn't want to kill\n> her. With the help of Meme Oshino, he finds a compromise that leaves no ones\n> wishes granted. Instead of killing her completely, he would get her to the\n> brink of death, weakening her power, making him as close to human as\n> possible. In return, she'd be so weak that she wouldn't even be able to take\n> the same name anymore. To keep her alive, Koyomi would occasionally feed her\n> his blood. This plan goes through. The now unnamed vampire holds a grudge\n> and refuses to speak.\n\nSource : <http://bakemonogatari.wikia.com/wiki/Shinobu_Oshino>\n\n",

The idea of Dragon Ball Z Kai is to take the best parts of Dragon\nBall Z (there was A LOT of filler) and put them together in a better art style\n(the art \"quality\" was not as good in the 80's; Kay was made in the 2000's).\n\nThe idea was that Dragon Ball Z continually got ahead of its source material,\nthe manga, because it had to make a 20 minute episode every week going along\nwith only 15 pages of manga a week; they would compensate for this by adding\nin filler episodes to allow the manga to catch back up. So, when they finished\nDragon Ball GT, they decided to go ahead and remaster Dragon Ball Z. This time\nthey had all of the source material, and animation technology was better,\nallowing for a \"higher quality\" animation. This allowed them to cut out all\nthe filler and just have content that pertains to the story, all in great\nanimation and music.\n\nThe reason I put higher quality in quotes is that quality is subjective. I\npersonally like the old style better because I think that the characters are\nmore expressive and the animation has more character; however, the new\nanimation looks really slick and the music is awesome in Kai. It is worth\ntrying out both and seeing for yourself which you prefer, and you can always\nskip the filler in Z.\n\n",

Some users require more hand seals to perform the Jutsu\nwhereas other do not require as many due to their chakra control.\n\nIn Naruto Shippuden, Episode 374\n\n> We see Kakashi and Obito having their battle in the realm where their\n> Mangekyou Sharingan takes them. At roughly 8:30, Kakashi and Obito are in\n> close quarters and Obito takes Kakashi's hand to perform the hand-seals for\n> FireBall Justu.\n\nHow does the charka manipulation through hand-seals work when performing them\nwith another participant?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs we don't see much of these two-man hand seals, nobody really uses them. The\nonly practical time someone would use it is when someone needs to perform a\njutsu that requires a lot of chakra. You do this by weaving hand signs like a\nnormal person would. The only thing different is that the two people would\nhave to merge and cooperate their chakras into that of one person. This is\nvery complicated and rarely used, and the only time I thought two-person hand\nseals were necessary was when Naruto and Sasuke were doing the Reverse\nTsukiyomi jutsu. It required an enormous amount of chakra, and only two people\nwith a lot of chakra, like Naruto and Sasuke could accomplish it.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs said in the linked post, the hand signs are for the manifesting chakra,\nwhile weaving hand signs. More the shinobi's skill and chakra control\nincreases, less the hand signs he needs to use. While techniques may require a\nnumber of hand seals to work, a skilled ninja can use less or even one to\nperform the same technique.\n\nIn the whole series, we've seen shinobi using hand signs with two hands, one\nhand and even no hand signs, which requires a very precise control of chakra.\nAs mentioned in [this post](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hand_Seal), at\nvarious instances shinobi of great skill like Itachi, Minato, Sasuke or Naruto\nused even one hand signs or no hand signs.\n\nBut When using hand signs with another participant, they both need their\nchakra to be in perfect sync with each other and should have a great control\nover it. That's why Naruto and Sasuke could accomplish some jutsu.\n\nAlso, there were instances, like in Obito Uchiha using Kakashi Hatake's hand\nfor the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique or Anko Mitarashi using\nOrochimaru's hand for the Twin Snakes Mutual Death Technique. For these\ninstances, a shinobi needs to have a great amount of chakra, which he forces\nto make it flow into other participant's body and gains control of other's\nchakra (momentarily) to get his jutsu done.\n\nHope this answers your doubt. :)\n\n",

The\nopening starts off with Akko, Lotte and Sucy holding hands leading to spiral\nformation to the Seven Words of Arcturus till finally a tree which I call\nYggdrasil, the world tree. In mythology, Yggdrasil was this very powerful and\nancient tree that held the nine realms of the Norse Mythology. As you probably\nread, think about this, nine worlds and the Nine Olde Witches. Probably the\nNine Olde Witches and Little Witch Academia as a world has influence of the\nNorse.\n\nThe ‘ready for battle’ sequence. All of Akko’s friends, her teammates, Amanda\nand her team, Diana and Akko herself but before I talked about Akko, I want to\ntalk about the ley lines. If you look closer, the ley lines had what looked to\nbe branches or roots which connects to Yggdrasil. Why is that? Well, the\nanswer is that what we are looking at are the roots of the world tree itself.\nThe Ley lines are the Roots of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. So, all that meant\nis that all the Witches and the Faeries are taking in this magical energy from\none of the most ancient forces in the universe. Also, could this mean the\nworld where Akko is having her adventures is located at one of the nine\nrealms. However, this presents a case on what’s happening to Yggdrasil.\n\nWe understand that magic came from somewhere, probably Yggdrasil but at some\npoint, the magic is getting less which foretells a frightening conclusion, the\nworld tree is dying. If that happens, all the worlds including Earth would be\ndestroyed without Yggdrasil holding them together. That might be the purpose\nof Chariot. By reviving the Seven Words of Arcturus, they can revive Yggdrasil\nwho will in turn support the worlds once more.\n\nTherefore, the Grand Triskellion might be a new seed to give birth to a new\nYggdrasil.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOne thing to note, Ghouls regrow their Kagune sacs. Rize was used to farm\nthem, and made dozens of failed experiments after Kaneki. In the manga, It was\nKaneki eating them that triggered his transformation into a Kajuka. It is not\nconfirmed what happens when you loose all of them though, since farming would\nprobably be most efficient if they leave at least one in there to help the\nothers regrow faster. Regardless, there have been no confirmed cases where a\nghoul lost all of their Kagune Sacs and was not also dead, usually by the\nhands of the one who took their last sac.\n\nHowever, when the CCG make a quinque, its almost always been by harvesting the\nKagune sacs from dead ghouls. There is one exception, but I'll get to that in\na second. With that in mind, there are 2 ideas. One, that Kaneki just broke\nhis quinque (which he did) and he needs a new one, which could come from any\npowerful source, or specifically that he wants Kaneki's Kagune sacs, which\nwould probably be extracted from his corpse, because he is implied dead at the\nend.\n\nHowever, since the anime [diverged from the\nmanga](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/18391/why-did-tokyo-\nghoul-%E2%88%9Aa-completely-deviate-from-the-manga), Its impossible to say if\nthey will actually make season 3. It is heavily implied that at the end of\nSeason 2, Kaneki is dead. In the last chapters of the Manga, he was all but\nannounced dead, with 2 holes in his head. That is where Tokyo Ghoul ended.\n\nThe only hope here, is that they decide to create season 3, and follow the\nTokyo Ghoul sequel, Tokyo Ghoul Re:. That story follows Haise Sasaki who is a\nmember of the CCG and (spoiler)\n\n> He has Rize's Kagune, just like Kaneki\n\nIf they do season 3 and tell us Haise's story, He does discover the Fate of\nKaneki.\n\nIf your impacient, there is well over 100 capters of Re to read, Though, you\nare going to be hard pressed to find a Tokyo ghoul Fan on reddit who would say\nyou read Re having only watched the anime. Many would tell you to start Tokyo\nGhoul at chapter 1 first, because a significant amount of both season 1 and 2\nare not faithful to the manga.\n\nAs for that exception I mentioned earlier, Arima (the reaper guy) in Re: had\nall his lighting quinque destroyed leaving him with none of his normal\nweapons, and was forced to pull out his strongest quinque, which was made by a\nsac he pulled out of one of the Owl's during his fight with them years\nearlier. I do not recall if they said which Owl he got it from, but both of\nthem have multiple Kagune sacs, as well as Kajuka sacs, so it did them no harm\nin the long run.\n\n",

Then, the resurrecting of the arm would be impossible because no\nmatter what, there is not a single jutsu in the world which can recreate\ncells.\n\nAlthough this is just a theory, I believe this is what happened.\n\n",

So, as a result of losing the power of SOSP, he also lost\nthe ability to heal.\n\nNaruto actually 'lost' his SOSP after using a tremendous amount of chakra to\nseal away kaguya. So after the fight with Sasuke, he must almost have depleted\nit.\n\nComing back to the point, _while_ fighting Madara Uchiha and Kaguya, he still\nhad his powers and abilities (levitation, the truth orbs, _healing_ , etc.) It\nwas when he actually sealed Kaguya with the help of Sasuke, did he use up his\nSOSP powers/chakra. So, he lost the truth orbs, the SOSP cloak, ability to\nheal, etc.\n\nNow, why did Sasuke not lose his rinnegan? That was because, Indra's chakra is\nneeded to only _awaken_ the rinnegan, and not to maintain it.\n\nSo, the reason why Naruto could not heal his own arm was because he lost his\npowers when he sealed Kaguya, _but_ could use levitation , etc. _before_\nsealing Kaguya, that is, while facing her and Madara.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs I remember, there were marks, that were given to both of them, which\ndisappeared after they sealed Kaguya. While some say that the marks awakened\ntheir abilities, but they might also be explained in another way.\n\nThere is no indication that I remember, that Asura got a mark when he got the\nSOSP power mode, therefore the marks could only be the sealing jutsu. So they\nboth got power upgrade and sealing jutsu powered by the SOSP. Then even after\nthey used it, Naruto still had the same abilities as before, same cloak, he\ncould still levitate, he could levitate all 6 clones of Kurama and still had 3\nmore orbs (wonder why he didn't make more, they seem to be using them up). On\ntop of all that, he didn't really seem to gather any/much natural energy,\nuntil he made those 2 crazy Rasenshuriken.\n\nTo be precise, he never really displayed the need for healing like Obito,\nMadara, and Kaguya did, because he didn't get hurt, until the end fight. He\ndid seem to display slight decrease in power/compensated by alternative power\nand skill in the following 2 movies, e.g. super punch, ability to separate\nfrom Kurama, a beast size Rasengan, still levitating on the moon, healing\nquite fast from a sword wound in a minute or so in the manga.\n\nSo all in all, it is the extreme level of healing and the truth seeking orbs\nthat are really missing later, maybe as existing answers pointed out by not\nhaving all the bijuus like Obito, Kaguya and Madara, actually that is when\nthey were making them. Although Obito made a staff even after being exhausted\nto deflect Madaras orbs.\n\nBut then Naruto get Kurama times 2, so I think that is compensated. Still, he\nshould have been able to make orbs after that. Regarding the arm, maybe he\ndidn't have the energy to heal it at the time since Kurama went to sleep,\nalthough even later as an Uzumaki he should still display some amazing healing\nability like Karin and his mother.\n\n",

Relatedly, how long was it from\n> when they _realized_ they were swapping until the last time they swapped?\n\nThe sense I got is that it had to be a fairly long time (some number of\nmonths, perhaps), based on details like how they had pinned down that the\nswaps occur 2-3 times a week, and how each of them had gotten quite good at\nfitting into the other's life.\n\nHowever, during the first scene that is set in Mitsuha's present with her in\nher own body, the TV news indicates that the comet is due to approach perigee\nwithin a month, and at this point, they hadn't yet figured out that they were\nswapping, which suggests to me that at best they could've had a few weeks\nwhere they were aware of the swapping phenomenon. (Granted, the swapping\ncould've been going on for considerably longer with both of them still\nbelieving the swaps to just be vivid dreams.)\n\nSo the timelines seem a bit wonky to me. Can we pin down the duration of the\n\"first\" part of the movie more accurately?\n\nI suspect that we should be able to get relatively tight bounds at least on\nhow long they were aware of the swapping by examining the details of the diary\nentries Mitsuha was keeping on Taki's phone.
