"body": "\n\nThe short answer is _no_. Most manga readers you find out there are all third-\nparty aggregators (therefore not licensed to distribute the manga in any form)\nthat take fan made scanlations and host them on their respective sites. They\nmake money from the ad revenue they receive from the traffic other sites. In\nother words, they take the hard work of others (specifically, the work\noriginal authors and artist, along with the volunteer efforts of the\nscanlators) and profit without doing any work themselves.\n\nThere are aggregators out there such as Batoto that maintain a certain quality\nstandard such as not resizing, downsampling, watermarking scanlations, or\nscrape content from other scanlators or sites. They also respect the wishes of\nscanlators that don't allow aggregators or have rules on delayed releases.\nEven in doing so they are not officially licensed to deliver their content,\nwhile they do try to maintain a standard of quality, none of this benefits the\nmanga authors.\n\nHowever, there are various officially licensed distributors for English\ntranslated manga. Here are a couple of the more well-known ones:\n\n * <http://shonenjump.viz.com/wsja>\n * <https://www.mangabox.me/reader/en/>\n * <http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga>\n * <http://en-renta.papy.co.jp/>\n * <https://www.emanga.com/>\n * <http://en.mangareborn.jp/>\n\nHowever while this might not directly influence revenue to the manga author.\nMaking the manga more widely accessible to the public _can_ help give some\nnotoriety to a particular series. Hype and notoriety about a particular series\ncan indirectly boost sales of the series. However it comes down to the efforts\nof scanlators and fans to help boost revenue to a manga author.\n\nFor an example, the users of 4chan helped boost the sales of\n_[WataMote](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WataMote)_ and save it from the\npossibility of being canceled. The author [personally\nthanked](https://twitter.com/harimoguni/status/337483945061003264) 4chan on\nTwitter for their efforts [and those of the scanlators](http://www.world-\nthree.org/2012/01/21/thats-pretty-cool/).\n\nEven if you read manga from these online aggregates, you can still support the\nauthors by purchasing their manga when they are collected in volume form, from\nsuch sites such as [Amazon Japan](http://www.amazon.co.jp/In-\nEnglish/b?ie=UTF8&node=1094656) or [Honto.jp](http://honto.jp/).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere seem to be a few points that have or could have led to high-quality\nanime coming out of Madhouse.\n\n * It is a relatively old company. Having been started in 1972, it has had time to grow and figure out its style, at least compared to many anime studios which are from the 1990s or 2000s.\n * \"Unlike other studios founded at this time such as AIC and J.C.Staff, their strength was and is primarily in TV shows and theatrical features. Expanding from the initial Mushi Pro staff, Madhouse recruited such important directors as Morio Asaka, Masayuki Kojima, and Satoshi Kon during the 1990s. Their staff roster expanded in the 2000s to include Mamoru Hosoda, Takeshi Koike, and Mitsuo Iso, as well as many younger television directors.\" ([x](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhouse_\\(company\\))) That shows a relatively strong set of directors.\n * They have a subsidiary company that focuses on computer graphics and a Korean animation studio that they have invested in and outsource to. Those show effort put into having work being done by those who specialize in it and are good at it.\n * They've collaborated with a number of big names in manga like CLAMP and Naoki Urasawa.\n\nWhile the studio itself doesn't seem to be huge (about 70 employees, compared\nto 130 from Kyoto Animation, 120 from Production I.G., and 2010 from Nippon\nAnimation), it has been a subsidiary since 2011 of Nippon Television, which is\na massive television network in Japan. That may give it access to additional\nfunds that would allow them to invest more into animation.\n\n",

They mostly do just Movies, OVA's and animes with\njust 1~25(with few exceptions going upto 35~40) episodes at the max. Movies\nand OVA's usually have a larger and a different budget than anime series. So,\nthey are going to look better and more beautiful than a typical lower budget\nanime series.\n\nIf you also notice Madhouse doesn't produced many(almost none) animes which\nlargely involve fast paced fighting or martial arts. They have done just a\nvery few of them. And even if you take the ones that they have done there are\neither,\n\n 1. Movie\n 2. OVA\n 3. Anime with <= 25 Episodes\n 4. Anime with > 25 episodes but fighting or martial arts is present only in a few specific episodes. (A good Example : Hunter x Hunter). \n\nIn other words Madhouse is able to produce \"Consistent High Quality Animation\"\nonly because they don't take \"risks\" or come out of their \"Safe Zone\". That is\nMadhouse produces animes which has mostly static/background animation or less\nanimation.\n\nAlso, you just gave 9 examples out of about 187 or more titles which they\nworked on. Which is just about 5% of all their titles. I am wondering Based on\njust about 5% of their work how can come to that conclusion that it produces\n\"Consistent\" High quality animes?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nUnfortunately, the answer to that is that there isn't an answer. In episode\n11, Yuu himself asks this question to Shunsuke and Dr. Tsutsumiuchi.\n\nThis happens at 4:54 as seen below:\n\n\n\n\nSome argument over this same topic took place on the MyAnimeList forums\n[here](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1431207).\n\nIn summary, that thread has a few different ideas on how it could have\nhappened but no concrete evidence since the show didn't provide any. If you\nrecall, throughout the series there were several hints of two of them\nremembering they had a brother. His memories finally returned when he was\nlistening to the live performance of the song incidentally named \"Trigger\".\nThis was supposedly the first time he had heard it, but he could remember\nlistening to it in the other timeline.\n\nAnother theory from that thread is that Sala had an ability to restore\npeople's mind with her voice, as she did with Nao's brother, and upon hearing\nher live performance his memories returned; however, this is unlikely because\nhe previously heard her sing in the hospital room and was unaffected.\n\nAs the final episode has now been aired, it is clear that this will be left\nopen as a plothole with viewers left to interpret it as they please.\n\n",

Since these anime share a creator this\nis significantly magnified. There are many common tropes and themes that are\nshared between stories as they are the building blocks of making an\ninteresting plot and storyline.\n\nWhen watching anime I often can pick up when a show is going to be similar to\nanother show, even early on. That is because another way to think of these\ntropes is as a sort of template that the creator can use to layout basic plot\nelements and then fill in the rest of the storyline with their original ideas.\nDepending on how well they are able to add their own twist to this template\ndetermines how much of a copy it will feel like. Your question asks if this is\ncommon in anime or manga, but this isn't just restricted to anime. These ideas\napply to broadcasting and entertainment in general, look at all those generic\nreality TV shows that are popular among baby boomers. If something is popular,\nthey reuse it. Then, when someone innovates and creates something people truly\nlove, it too will be copied.\n\nWhile it may seem like déjà vu in such a closely related example like _Ano\nNatsu de Matteru_ and _Onegai Sensee_ , in my experience shows this similar\nare very rare. Perhaps, these two shows are the best possible paradigm for\nyour question.\n\n",

We just know he is from the North Blue.\n\n * Sanji has a very noble behavior and acts like a gentleman, which could be because of his education.\n\n * Sanji calls himself \"Mr. Prince\" in little garden.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KtVnR.png)\n\n * Zoro calls him \"Prince of idiots\" during the fight with Foxy.\n\n * Sanji's following quote is also very suspicious:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5oAOs.jpg)\n\n * Another point is that Sanji mentioned he was born in the North Blue and knew the land \"Noland\". Additionally, he wore a red-white hat two times (also in his zombie form), which have the same color as the buildings in the Lvneel Kingodm.\n\n[](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DsYmNiVOhVU/hqdefault.jpg)[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/kkYHR.png)\n\nAnd these are just a few clues about Sanji.

"body": "\n\nI don't think Ginoza will go after Kougami. He's finally found his place at\nthe PBS, taking care of his team and being a detective, in much the same\nmanner his father was. Also, unlike Tsunemori who is adamant about bringing\nKougami in, despite knowing that he'd be locked up for the rest of his life,\nif not killed outright by Sybil (which is rather intriguing, and hints at an\nobsession not unlike Kougami's with Makishima), Ginoza seems to be okay with\nKougami gone. For him it really was goodbye, and if anything, he wants to help\nTsunemori let go too.\n\nWhen Tsunemori sent Ginoza to find Kougami, she showed Ginoza how much she\ntrusted him - not only with upholding the law, but with looking after her. So\nGinoza shouldered the burden of letting Kougami go (thus living with the\nconsequences) and of standing by Tsunemori as she deals with him being gone -\nagain. When he's telling her about Kougami, he's telling her the truth as he\nsees it. First of all, Kougami got Tsunemori in trouble and endagered her life\n- again. Secondly, Kougami has changed - he's become harder, more driven and\nmore nonchalant about the ideals he had held first as an inspector and then as\nan enforcer under Tsunemori's lead.\n\nThirdly, as Ginoza has finally been able to relax into his true self and open\nup to others, he has come to care for Tsunemori, love her even. She is\nprecious to him - she treats the enforcers with respect and empathy, she never\nwavers in her sense of duty, her desire to make society better and safer. She\ncan continue doing the job he couldn't, is stronger than him that way. He\nwould shoulder any burden to help her - even let Kougami get away, thus\nallowing her to avoid the consequences of bringing him in (having to\ndiscipline him, see him locked up or be executed, losing the link she has to\nKougami's spirit which helps her maintain her own sanity in troubling times -\nwhich I'm sure Ginoza has guessed). When he tells her that Kougami is not\nworth her attention anymore, Tsunemori picks up on the way he cares for her\nand wants her to be happy and free.\n\nShe also voices what she must have realised long before that final moment in\nthe movie - that Ginoza hasn't changed, meaning that he is still here, not\njust for the society governed by Sybil and the team of Division 1, but for her\n- in a way Kougami isn't and hasn't been ever since his obsession with\nMakishima gained new momentum in season 1. She also lets him know that she has\nalways thought highly of him, even back when he was a stuck-up inspector who\ngave her a hard time. Back then, he had also sought to keep her safe by\ntelling her to maintain distance from Kougami. And they smile in mutual\nunderstanding, caring about and for each other.\n\nI don't think Tsunemori will ever let go of Kougami entirely, since he's\nhelped her grow as a person and a detective, but as she is mindful of her\nduties and priorities, she will not actively seek him out unless he's\nconnected to an active case.\n\n",

Generally things like yelling as\nif you're powering up, screaming when you see your anime-fan friends, etc. You\ncan probably understand why people don't appreciate that.\n\nAs insulting terms go, it's pretty standard in that those who usually use it,\ndon't know much about the medium - Just like how you might be labelled as as a\n_goth_ if you just like shirts with skulls on them, or as a nerd if you like\nStar Wars - subcultures have a lot more to them than meets the eye.\n\nAnd if you want to be technical, it literally means nothing - The original\nterm was supposedly coined from the comic from the Perry Fellowship, with no\ncontext:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/0Ao47.jpg)\n\nBut you can _own_ that term just as much as _geeks_ and _nerds_ can own their\nlabels and make it a positive thing. Just like I've done by taking that blog\nname :P\n\nSome people like labels, some don't - do whatever you prefer. If you enjoy\nsomething, don't let others tell you not to enjoy it! :)\n\nTo answer the question you actually asked: Sure they're related - but just as\nhow [football hooligans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_hooliganism)\nare related to football.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI am assuming you are asking about the type of anime that is made by an\nanimation company where the plot and story details are all made by the writers\nand directing staff.\n\nThe straight answer is Yes. The plot can be altered as the series is airing if\nit was not completed prior to its airing on television or it was affected by\nexternal factors.\n\nA famous example would be Pokemon: Best Wishes. Where the plot was altered\nwhen the episodes [Team Plasma VS Team\nRocket](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/BW023_\\(unaired\\)) had to be\nput on hold due to the Tohoku 2011 Earthquake. Originally the two episodes\nwould have been crucial to the plot of Pokemon BW, the earthquake forced the\nproduction staff to change the plot of the series in order to avoid airing the\nepisodes that depicted earth-shaking scenes. This is a case where the plot was\naltered due to external resons.\n\n> This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on March 17, 2011, but\n> was postponed, along with the original BW024, indefinitely because of the\n> Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. As\n> of Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!, its events have been removed from\n> continuity. Unlike the only other skipped episodes in Japan, this two-parter\n> was supposed to be important to the overall storyline instead of being a\n> stand-alone episode.\n\nHowever, these cases are rare and some of the time, the anime is being\nmanufactured as it is airing, so the plot would likely to be undetermined\nuntil just a month or later before airing for really late production crew.\n\nA good example would be [Neon Genesis\nEvangelion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion), where its\nplot was changed from having 28 angels to just 18, counting the humans. This\nwas mostly due to Anno Hideaki failing to complete scenarios on time, changing\nplots due to his new experiences as the show was airing which resulted in the\nproduction hell of NGE, and its plot change.\n\n> By episode 13 the series began to deviate significantly from the original\n> story, and the initial script was abandoned. The number of Angels was\n> reduced to 17 instead of the original 28, and the writers changed the\n> story's ending, which had originally described the failure of the Human\n> Instrumentality Project after an Angel attack from the moon. Starting with\n> episode 16, the show changed drastically, discarding the grand narrative\n> concerning salvation for a narrative focusing on the individual characters.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn ep 12, from 13:20 to 14:40, the recording of the \"ancient aliens\" that\nvisited Earth before begins playing, while Ichika is inside the federation\nprobe being carried upwards into orbit:\n\n> I wonder how long it has been, but thank you for finding this. \n> I made an emergency landing on this planet after my spaceship had trouble\n> and was saved by someone here. \n> Before I knew, he meant a lot to me. But this is a remote planet where\n> contact with the locals is forbidden. Help will soon be on its way. \n> I imagine my memories on this planet will be sealed away to mantain secrecy\n> . \n> But... I wanted... to leave behind the memories I had with him, no matter\n> what. \n> Even if my memories faded, even if I couldn't remember, I wanted to leave\n> something behind. Thank you for finding it. \n> I pray that at least my memories will live on with you. \n> Please don't forget.\n\nComparing the text above with the story of Onegai Teacher, if it was left\nbehind by Kazami Mizuho, it should be before she is recalled into HQ and\neveryone's memories are wiped out. One thing that does not click is that it\nseems like an accident. Mizuho came to earth on an observer assignment\n(contrast with Ichika, that came on a \"tourist visa\").\n\nSome of the alien's technological similarities I pointed out in the other\nquestion are then justified if they are the same universe. You would pretty\nmuch expect [warp nacelles](http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Nacelle) in\nany Federation ship if it is in the Star Treck universe, for example.\n\nBut the final evidence is that the above text is voiced by Mizuho's Seyuu,\n[Inoue\nKikuko](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=542). Anime\nNews Network has credits for her as [\"Misterious Voice (ep.\n12)\"](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13448).\n\nThe production staff for both series is very similar and they share the same\ncharacter designer.\n\nSo they probably are the same universe. Whether any of the characters is a\ndescendant of Onegai ones, is better left to the realm of speculation. But it\ncould explain why Ichika has memories of Mizuho's recording.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI’m a great fan of Arslan Senki and read the novels in Japanese twice. Sorry\nit’s been almost 3 years since you posted your question, but I will answer all\nyour doubts. I’ll start, however, by quoting the answer from Astral Sea as the\nchoice of words might be confusing sometimes, but it gets clarified in his/her\ncomment to the OP as I will explain.\n\n**“The anime was based of Arakawa Hiromu's manga adaptation of the original\nlight novels”**\n\nIt was properly clarified when he/she says in the comment: **“The adaptation\nby Arakawa Hiromu is a manga, and the manga is also incomplete. The anime just\nused his manga art-style and characters to tell the story of the novels”**\n\nBasically, the anime took the art style from the manga when telling the story\nof the novels. The anime character designs belong to Shingo Ogiso as well. The\nstory itself was quickly taken directly from the novels as the only source as\nthe anime caught up with the manga.\n\nThere were 19 chapters published when the anime started running (5th April)\nand also when it ended (27th September).\n\n<https://bookstore.yahoo.co.jp/shoshi-417773/>\n\n<https://bookstore.yahoo.co.jp/shoshi-522005/>\n\nThe first link corresponds to volume 3, which includes chapters 11-19 and was\npublished in Japan on February 9, 2015.\n\nThe second link corresponds to volume 4, which includes chapters 20-27 and was\nreleased in Japan on October 9, 2015. It is important to note that the anime\nhad already ended before this date though.\n\nJust so that you know, episode 9 from the anime covers up to chapter 19 from\nthe manga, and episode 10 covers up to chapter 23. So it would be something\nlike that more or less.\n\nAfter that point, episodes 10-25 from season 1 as well as all episodes from\nseason 2 could not take the manga’s adaptation into account while adapting the\nnovels as there was no manga to begin with. The manga’s pace is incredibly\nslow. Even now, 2018, it still hasn’t started dealing with what season 2\ncovered (the latest manga Chapter 57 is adapting the last part from novel 3,\nwhereas the anime’s season 1 covers novels 1- 4).\n\nI’ll explain this later in more detail, but the manga’s adaptation is faithful\nand respectful to the novel source material. The anime’s adaptation not so\nmuch.\n\n**“So it does differ quite a bit from the original novels”**\n\nIt gets clarified in his/her comment as well:\n\n**“The difference exists in both the anime and the manga compared to the\nnovel. However, the difference is minimal so it’s fine for you to disregard it\nand go ahead to read the novels.”**\n\nThe difference between the manga and the novels is minimal. The manga adapts\nthe novels in a consistent and faithful way. The anime, however, is less\nfaithful. Yet again, I’ll explain this later.\n\nNow, these are the 3 issues that the OP has. I’ll explain all of them:\n\n> After watching the anime, I feel the need to finish the story through the\n> novel. However, I do not know where in the novel did the anime end off or if\n> it even followed the novel's plotline at all.\n>\n> Where should I start?\n>\n> Would I miss anything if I start where the anime ended?\n\nBefore that, I’m gonna add 1 extra question:\n\n## 1\\. What should I read?\n\nThis is the only question I’ve added to your already existing 3 issues as I\nimagine that you, as an anime-only watcher, also have this doubt. I’m also\ngoing to take this chance to explain some basic information needed to answer\nyour questions:\n\nArslan Senki is a Japanese novel series written by Yoshiki Tanaka. There are\nsixteen novels written between 1986 and 2017. A manga adaptation by Chisato\nNakamura started running in 1990 and finished running in 1996. It had an\noriginal ending as it caught up with the novels. Because of its popularity, a\nsecond manga adaptation illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa debuted in 2013. An\nanime adaptation was made in 2015.\n\nThe novels are praised as a masterpiece in Japan, which is the reason they\nreceived adaptations in the first place and people kept up with them for 31\nyears. I would very strongly advise you to read the novels over every Arslan\nSenki adaptation. However, there is no official translation as of now, and not\nmuch content has been fan-translated for the past 31 years. So… if you don’t\nknow Japanese, I recommend you read the second manga. It is the most faithful\nadaptation you’ll find, and it’s in English.\n\n## 2\\. Where should I start?\n\nDepends on what you want to do and your situation.\n\n-If you’ve just watched the anime and you want to read the novels (as I said, they’re regarded as a masterpiece) I would advise you to start from the very beginning. The novels are very long and complicated, so starting from the very first volume is the best option. \n\n-If you can’t read the novels for language reasons and want to read the manga instead, I would advise you to start from chapter 19. The differences between manga and anime increase after chapter 19-20 (end of episode 9) and keep increasing ever since (for example, chapter 29 doesn’t exist in the anime).\n\n-If you’ve read the manga and want to delve into the novels, you can start where you left off on the manga. Unlike the anime, the manga follows the original material quite faithfully. To further help you understand the overall situation, I’m also going to tell you what the current situation is. 2.2 Current situation The very first season of the anime covers novels 1-4. The anime caught up with the manga when only 3 manga volumes had been published. Those 3 manga volumes cover the first novel. The second anime season covers the last part of novel 4 (as in the novel, Andragoras's escape from the dungeon is written before the funeral in St. Emmanuel) as well as novels 5 and 6.\n\nThe manga currently has 57 chapters and is now in the middle of novel 3’s last\nchapter where Sam reunited with Kubard and convinced him to fight for Hilmes\nand it is just before Arslan circulated the manifesto all around Pars. As you\ncan see, the manga has already covered (as of March 2018) half the novels\nseasons 1 and 2 from anime did. It took almost 5 years though.\n\n## 3\\. Would I miss anything if I start where the anime ended?\n\nYou would most certainly do. The anime starts making more changes from the\noriginal novel source material after episode 10 from season 1, so I would\nsuggest you start reading from chapter 19 or 20 (start of episode 10). This is\nobvious, but when the anime makes changes while adapting the novels, it also\ndeviates from the manga’s faithful adaptation.\n\n## 4\\. Are the manga and anime adaptations faithful to the original source\nmaterial?\n\nI’m rephrasing your doubt “I don’t know … if it even followed the novel's\nplotline at all.”\n\nAnime: It has added quite a few scenes. Some of them seem to be very\nimportant, but don’t exist in the novels. For example:\n\n * The fact that Arslan saves Daryun from Arzang, the sorcerer, just before reaching Peshawar Fortress\n * The fact that Bahman gets killed by Hilmes\n * *The fight between Daryun and Hilmes at the end of season 1\n * *The fact that Bodin's men take the sacred sword Ruknabad \n * *The fact that Hilmes gets Ruknabad. In the novels, no one can take the sword except the chosen one who will take over the will of Kay Khosrow, the ancient great King.\n\nAnd lack, among others, the following events from the novels:\n\n * The fact that Narsus defeats and kills Arzang. They even skipped Narsus saving Alfarid for the 2nd time, which made Alfarid fall in love with Narsus.\n * The fact that Daryun apologizes to Gieve for considering him an untrustworthy person. This event takes place after knowing that Gieve had saved Arslan.\n * The fact that Hilmes murders Kishward's very loyal subordinate and Azrael's brother.\n * Hilmes valuing Zandeh’s skill of gathering information by using his men.\n * The fact that Bahman accompanies Arslan to Sindhura and fighting bravery as a marzban.\n * The fact that Bahman dies in Sindhura\n * The fact that Salima, daughter of Mahendra, lets Rajendra arrest Gadhevi, who is Salima's husband.\n * The fact that a sorcerer tries to steal the secret letter of Bahman and Narsus cuts off his arm. \n * The fact that Andragoras tells the secret of Hilmes's birth to Sam.\n * *The fact that Daryun captures Etoile before the battle in St. Emmanuel.\n * *The fact that Merlain and Kubard defeat a Lusitanian troop together.\n * *The fact that Jimsa and Zaravant escape from Andragoras's forces and they start searching Arslan together.\n * *The fact that Zandeh throws Ruknabad into a crack in the ground, and pursuades Hilmes to once forget about it at the time when Ruknabad refused Hilmes and made a large earthquake hit.\n\n(\"*\" refers to scenes from parts of the story that have yet to be reached in\nthe manga as it’s still behind the anime)\n\nWhereas in the manga, all the events I remember that were added are just\n(Note: this list should be quite decent. Unlike the previous 2 ones, here I\nmade a big effort to gather all the differences I remember having noticed when\nI read the manga):\n\n * The first chapter (which was also in the anime)\n * One short fight between Arslan and Kharlan (which was also in the anime). I wouldn’t really call it a fight, but in the novels Arslan and Kharlan don’t have that short crossing of blades before Kharlan fights Daryun.\n * The fact that Etoile hands a small religious book to Arslan close to a river and the conversation with his companions about it (the anime added the act of giving the Bible, though under different conditions and there was no chat about it between Arslan’s companions when they go to Hodir’s castle)\n * The sentence “one in one hundred million” used by Daryun (I think the anime used it once during the first half of season 1) as well as Arslan’s famous word “delicious” when referring to delicious food (the novels also use that word, but it’s more frequent in the manga. The anime used the word as well).\n * Farangis usually dresses like a man in the novels, whereas in the manga there’s fan service. The anime took the manga’s character designs, so obviously it includes such fan service.\n * The fact that Elam has a memory of Narsus praising his cooking skill\n * The fact that Kishward already has a wife and a son, whereas in the novels his wife and son appear much later. \n * When Daryun reveals Arslan identity to him, Daryun holds his hand. The revelation part is the same, but them holding hands at sunset is new.\n * The fact that Montferrart's brother is among Bodin's soldiers who were killed by Hilmes when Lusitanian soldiers were fighting over the sacred flag. In the novels, he wasn’t present there.\n * Jaswant (this character debuts in chapter 43 of the manga) sees Narsus painting, whereas in the novel it’s not described that she takes a glance at his painting. \n * The fact that the story of how Daryun got hold of his polearm is more detailed in the manga.\n * In one of the latest chapters of the manga (+55), Hilme’s secret is more explained than in the novels.\n\nAnd not much content from the novels has been cut down. Obviously, the novels\nwill have more details, but the important events are told faithfully, and the\nstuff that gets removed is the kind that is unnecessary and overdetailed for a\nmanga (the manga format is quite different from that of a novel). To name a\nfew examples of the events that the manga didn’t include while adapting the\nnovels:\n\n * Once Vahriz asks Daryun what his impression of Arslan's features is at Atropatene, there is a line that Daryun says (\"He has a handsome features. I guess young ladies all over the capital city will talk about him in two or three years, but uncle...\") right before Vahriz tells him that he was actually asking which one of the prince’s parents looks more similar to him. That line I quoted is not included in the manga.\n * The reason why Narsu’s father died is because he fell down the stairs right before he was about to leave his land and help Andragoras. This led Narsus to go to the capital city and made him famous for the first time as a tactician.\n * Amidst the sorcerers who have served the master sorcerer, Gundhi frequently appears in the underground room to receive instructions. In case you don’t remember it, he is the one with an incomplete mask that doesn’t cover the right side).\n * The fact that Narsus has been rumored to have love affairs while working at court. Furthermore, Daryun has fallen in love with the princess of Serica. (Just 2 months ago, the author mentioned they are no longer a couple**)\n * When Daryun fights with Bahadul in Sindhura, Daryun gets bitten by a jackal and he chops the jackal's head and even makes its eyes come out.\n * About Pars legends, there exists a deep tradition of not eating sheep brain. Nevertheless, right when Arslan and his friends are in Sindhura, they inadvertently eat it in the food they’re given. It is stated that Daryun loses his appetite after that, yet Farangis is fine.\n\n** Refers to an event that Tanaka has stated to have happened, but it doesn’t\nappear in his novels. He tends to do this sometimes, and his words/messages\nadd new canon material not mentioned in the novels themselves (sometimes these\nnew details/facts said by Tanaka are actually included in the second manga’s\nadaptation). This time it was mentioned on 18th January 2018, where we get to\nknow that situation I explained before and exactly how it happens. If you\ngoogle 31年目のヤシャスィーン you can see it on nico video website, but you need to have\nan official account and it’s raw Japanese as no English subtitles exist. In\nthat conference he also mentions unimportant stuff like the fact that he had\nalready decided the ending even before the second half of the novels had\nstarted, that while writing dialogues he says them out loud to make sure it\ndoesn’t sound weird, that Daryun is dressed in black because he was reading\nthe historical and psychological novel The red and the Black…\n\nAlso, the manga has more violent scenes that are in the novels but the anime\nskipped, like:\n\n * The fact that faKishward makes one of Sindhuran’s soldier swing his boss's head from his neck.\n\n> Conclusions: The anime changes and skips events a lot, whereas the manga\n> sometimes adds an element/detail to the story rather than change it. The\n> manga adds very little, and when it does it is unimportant stuff, it doesn’t\n> remove much content and it doesn’t change things, making the manga a good\n> adaptation of the novels. The scenes and even dialogues have been following\n> Tanaka’s original work.\n\nThis is slightly off-topic, but I wanted to mention a couple of important\nthings:\n\n * First and foremost, the fact that I wouldn’t consider fillers the few things that the second manga added. This is because according to Tanaka’s secretary, while working, Arakawa inquires what might be necessary. Obviously, some minor details are necessary to fit the manga format and make the illustrations and the like, but Arakawa is very respectful and consults Tanaka/his secretary, who’s always very eager to see the end result of the work. Based on twits and the like, I’m not sure who’s more in charge of the supervision though, his secretary (the guy that tends to speak for him in the media) or Tanaka, but that depends on how much involvement the original author wants to have (Unfortunately, he’s already 70 years old and has already hinted he would like to stop working altogether) Also, as I said before, because the adaptation is very good and faithful to the original work.\n\n<https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21487693-the-heroic-legend-of-arslan-\nvol-1>\n\n<https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=97707>\n\n * Second, the fact that the first manga was done by Chisato Nakamura, a girl that turned Arslan Senki into a shoujo manga (for girls). I started reading it, but I didn’t enjoy it very much and dropped it.\n * Third, the fact I would consider fillers what the anime changed or skipped. It was stated that the anime production consulted Tanaka before changing stuff, but personally, I would say it was just a technicality. There were some important changes, and I don’t think they should be given much thought even though Tanaka approved them and said that he is happy with them.\n\n * And last, the fact that Arslan Senki has had 3 illustrators so far. It’s extremely difficult for a novel series to get this kind of attention, and his novels even got an audiobook.\n\n<https://myanimelist.net/manga/32793/Arslan_Senki>\n\n<https://myanimelist.net/manga/51235/Arslan_Senki>\n\n<https://myanimelist.net/manga/51233/Arslan_Senki>\n\nNovel:\n\nAmano, Yoshitaka (Art) Tanaka, Yoshiki (Story)\n\nFirst manga:\n\nTanaka, Yoshiki (Story) Nakamura, Chisato (Art)\n\nSecond manga:\n\nArakawa, Hiromu (Art) Tanaka, Yoshiki (Story)\n\nI personally hope a third season for the anime is made. I said that the\nanime’s adaptation is less faithful, but that is compared to the manga, by\nitself the anime’s adaptation is not so bad.\n\nWhat I’m gonna quote comes from an interview to Arslan Senki’s anime\nprotagonist actor, Kobayashi. This is my own translation, the interviews\naren’t translated. He starts complaining about how short second season was,\nnot even 12 episodes.\n\n「あともうちょっとやりたかったな」と口惜しいような気持ちも感じつつ、短くはありましたけど、充実した作品になったのではないかと思っています。\n\n> I felt kind of a missing feeling like “I wanted to do a little more”, but\n> overall I think it turned out an enjoyable product.\n\nBut then he starts saying all the good things:\n\nそして、もし3期があるんだったら、絶対にまた、成長した僕と成長したアルスラーンで、相乗効果を出すことができると思います。そういう風に、同じスタートで始まって、役と僕が同じように成長していく、不思議な作品です。\nーーアルスラーンの歩みと小林さんの歩みは重なっているんですね。 小林\n本当に、いいタイミングで役をいただけました。僕にとっては、アルスラーンを見れば自分の成長具合がわかる。ひとつ、自分にとっての指標みたいな役です。ずっと大切にしていきたいです。\n\n> And if there is to be a 3rd season, grown up Arslan and me could absolutely\n> bring synergetic effects to it. Just like that, my role and me both started\n> from the same page and we’re able to grow up together. This is such\n> wonderful work of art.\n>\n> -So there is an overlap to you and Arslan’s growth.\n>\n> Kobayashi: I got my role at a very good timing. Arslan’s growth reflects how\n> much I have grown up. He’s like my role model. I’d like to cherish this role\n> forever.\n\nAnd then, he repeats how much he treasures the experience and how much he\nwants the anime to continue until it reaches the end of the series.\n\n宝物だと思っている役と作品なので、最後まで丁寧に演じきりたい。…\nたとえ何歳になろうと、殿下を演じきりたいと僕は思っているんですよ。最後まで、アルスラーンと一緒に歩んで行きたい。『アルスラーン戦記』は僕にとってそんな作品です。\nーーまずは王都奪還の日を、楽しみにしております！ ありがとうございました！\n\n> This is my treasure. I’d like to continue playing this role till the end …\n> No matter how old I become, I’d like to play a role as the prince and walk\n> on our paths together. The Heroic Legend of Arslan is an art that makes me\n> feel that way.\n>\n> -First of all, I am looking forward to the day of the return of the kingdom!\n> Thank you very much!\n\nNow, will there be a season 3? According to the anime's series composer and\nscript writer, it will depend on the support fans give Arslan Senki. If it\nwere up to him, season 3 would be being made as we speak, but unfortunately he\nalso mentioned a few months after season 2 had ended that sales were a bit\nshort of what he had expected.\n\n「皆さんが盛り上がってくだされば、すぐ3期が決まるかと思います！」（上江洲誠）\n\n> “If all of you get very excited, I’m sure season 3 will come immediately!”\n> (Makoto Uezu)\n\n",

Bear in mind, I have a pretty\npedestrian understanding of the full nuances of the Japanese language, but\nI'll be happy to cite my sources where need be.\n\nFirst, let's start with Yuru Yuri. Akari is made out to be the decoy\nprotagonist _very early on_ , and as such, the fact that she's has very little\npresence is a running gag in the series. In the first episode, around 16:40 is\neveryone comes to that realization (spearheaded by Kyouko).\n\nAround this time, the nickname actually comes up, and this is the beginning of\nher being _teased_ with \"Akari~n!\" (and turning invisible). Notice that the\nfirst episode's intro doesn't do anything fishy with her or her visibility (in\nthe same way that the subsequent intros _do_ ).\n\nNext, let's move on to normal Japanese naming convention. In Japan, it's only\nconsidered okay to call someone by their first name if you're really close to\nthem. From what I've seen, nicknames are _slightly_ more relaxed, so you'll\nsee and hear people calling each other by their nicknames quite often in\nanime. From this, it's implied that Yui, Kyouko, and Chinatsu are at least\nincredibly friendly with Akari enough to call her by any sort of nickname.\n\nAdding ん to the end of a name (and it depends on the name) invokes a cutesy,\nchildish sounding variant of it, and can be considered to be a cutesy sort of\nnickname for the person.\n\n",

There are\nPurebloods and Halfbloods Reyvateil.\n\nThere are sub-classification under those two categories, but let's focus on\nCocona.\n\nBy being a 3rd generation Reyvateil, it means Cocona was born from a Reyvateil\nmother and a human father. Normally, those children tend to be normal humans,\nbut there are cases in which the Reyvateil genes are strong, causing the Song\nServers to recognize such human as a Reyvateil. As such, those Reyvateils tend\nto have a shorter life span, since their human body is not made to endure the\nconstant energy surge form using Song Magic. Yet, differently from Pureblood\nReyvateils, they can live outside of their tower's range. That makes their\nReyvateil part go dormant and they can live as normal humans.\n\nCocona is also an IPD, meaning she does not connect to the \"correct\" server,\nbut to the Infel Phira server. The whole IPD situation is from the game's\nstory and I guess there is no need to delve to deep on it.\n\nSo, to cut it short, I guess the fact that Cocona was a 3rd generation\nReyvateil was already known or obvious to the other characters, since 3rd\ngeneration Reyvateils were not uncommon.\n\n",

It is generally being used to represent the\n> reaction of a character who is ingenuous or timid.\n\n* * *\n\n**Origin**\n\nThe first known **meme** use of this word is, like a lot of _Western_ memes,\non 4chan in 2008.\n\nOn the chans **/jp** and **/a** (Respectively the Japanese Culture and Anime &\nManga 4chan communities), the word was used in several conversations.\n\nIn 2008, the chan **/jp** was created in order to split general Japanese\nCulture from **/a** which then became the Otaku board.\n\nOn **/jp** , the meme was associated with pictures of [Eiki\nShiki](http://wiki.touhou.net/wiki/Eiki_Shiki,_Yamaxanadu) from Touhou in\norder to criticize lewd anime content which was judged as \"not suitable\" for\nthe board.\n\nThe post on November 19th, 2008 that most likely created this meme, according\nto [KnowYourMeme](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lewd), is this comic and its\nreaction :\n\nThe comic:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/OhikY.jpg)\n\nThe reaction:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rVxkS.jpg)\n\n* * *\n\n**Other details**\n\nGoogle Trends\n\nAccording to [Google\nTrends](https://www.google.fr/trends/explore#q=lewd&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT-2),\nthe peak of research of the word _lewd_ is in 2011. I didn't find any\nrationnal explanation; I will edit the post to add things if I find anything\ninteresting.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JVXLh.png)\n\nLewd _but I approve_\n\nA trend emerged from the meme _lewd_ , to express the fact that a user finds\nthe below content lewd but still approves of the content. It is presented the\nsame way as the _lewd_ meme, but on the pancart there is written: Lewd but I\napprove\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/z0rNZ.png)\n\nBonus: Gardevoir\n\nThe pokemon\n[Gardevoir](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gardevoir_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29)\nhas became a meme because of the feminized look it has. The meme is used at\ndifferent ways (Tsundere Gardevoir, Shy Gardevoir, Totally NSFW Gardevoir).

Where did it come from?**\n>\n> The bond has become a staple in B/V (ed: Bulma/Vegeta) fanfiction and many\n> believe that it was in fact, invented in fanfiction - but that is only part\n> true. In 1995, a writer going by the pen name 'Katchan,' started her\n> ambitious 50 chapter 'Saiyajin,' it was her \"Dragonball withdrawal whim.\" I\n> believe she was the first to give the _bond_ its name, and it further\n> inspired Nora Jemison's 'The Third Bond.'\n>\n> Now, were Bulma and Vegeta ever truly bonded in the Anime? Though it was\n> never clearly stated as a bond, Bulma and Vegeta had a deep connection that\n> was the basis for this. _When Vegeta sacrificed himself to Buu, Bulma\n> immediately sensed something was wrong, even though she wasn't near him.\n> Fanfiction has further romanticized this by including telepathy or the\n> sharing of memories etc. as part of the bonding process_. While that is just\n> an interpretation of what may have happened, it's more based on fact than\n> fanfiction (hurray ^_^).\n>\n> (Emphasis mine)\n\nRegarding bite mark,\n\n> **Ok, so what about this biting thing that usually comes with a bond?**\n>\n> Along with the bonding, a bite on the neck is usually involved with Bulma\n> and Vegeta romances. Unlike bonding, the bitemark has no concrete basis on\n> the anime. I believe biting was first used in either 'Saiyajin' or 'The\n> Third Bond' or perhaps both. I believe one rumour was that _the reason Bulma\n> wore those scarves in the Buu Saga was to cover up her Saiyan hickey_ ;p!\n> Over the years though, the bite mark has come to symbolize a number of\n> things like ownership, marriage etc. and I'm sure that B-Chan's 'Lemon\n> Chapters' had a hand in that.\n>\n> (Emphasis mine)\n\nIn conclusion, I believe this is just fans' speculation based from shown\nevidences on the series.\n\n",

We have seen a major Paradox like this before when Madoka made\nher wish, became a witch that could destroy the universe, yet was able to\ndestroy it as well and continue fighting on. I suspect a powerful enough\nparadox will cause the universe to \"reboot\", creating a new rule to account\nfor the Paradox as it did with Madoka's wish.\n\n* * *\n\n> How can a soul gem be tainted by anything but grief/despair?\n\nBecause Soul Gems are the Magical Girls themselves. Since despair is a complex\nemotion of hopelessness, anguish, and unhappiness, it seems perfectly logical\nthat a Soul Gem could be filled with Love as well.\n\nAs for it being tainted with love, you should read over [this\nanswer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/9795/1587) which suggests how\nHomura's love became tainted, to quote one line\n\n> Homura claims that all this negative energy comes from her love for Madoka\n> due to several events:\n\n* * *\n\n> [Homura] became a demon\n\nJust to correct you here, she's a self-proclaimed demon.\n\n> Homura says that since she is a being that brought down and imprisoned a\n> god, it's only appropriate to call her a demon.\n\nSource: [Rebellion/Synopsis - Part E (6th Paragraph)](https://wiki.puella-\nmagi.net/Rebellion/Synopsis#Part_E)\n\nHomura became the same as Madoka, but the difference between Madoka and Homura\nis that Homura manipulated things so that she would still exist in the\nuniverse in the same way she allowed Madoka to as well (albeit without her\nmemories or powers)\n\n> Homura, now wearing an earring and lacking her magical girl ring, **claims\n> she only took a part of the Law of Cycles — the part that was Madoka before\n> she stopped being herself.**\n\nSource: [Rebellion/Synopsis - Part E (7th Paragraph)](https://wiki.puella-\nmagi.net/Rebellion/Synopsis#Part_E)\n\nSo in a sense, Homura and Madoka are the same. However, Homura proclaims she\nis a demon because she is the opposing force to Madoka's will (the Law of\nCycles) by breaking it and we see at the end that should Madoka remember who\nshe is, the Law of Cycles will reclaim her which Homura will do what she can\nto prevent.\n\n",

Madoka was invited and maybe\nSayaka but Homura would have no knowledge of Nagisa and even if she went in as\nBebe (thus looking like Charlotte's first form) she was never invited in and i\nwould think that the barrier would try something at first but when Nagisa\nplayed along it then just decided to factor her in\n\n* * *\n\n1: Depending on what version you see Sayaka will call Charlotte the Sweets\nWitch or the Desert Witch\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIt is indeed decipherable - the script appears to be a straightforward\nsubstitution cipher for English written in the Latin alphabet. But I would\nhesitate to even call it a \"cipher\". The script in _Comet Lucifer_ is less\nlike [the script in _Rokka no\nYuusha_](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/23509/), where decipherment is a\ngenuine challenge, and more like [what _Akagami no Shirayukihime_\nuses](https://i.stack.imgur.com/uX5ZF.jpg). That is, it's basically English\nwritten in a very exotic font. (Well, _Akagami_ sometimes uses romanized\nJapanese rather than English, but the idea is the same.)\n\nConsider this image from episode 1:\n\n\n\nThe headline on the left reads \"Garden Indigo\". If you squint right, you can\nsee how the script really is just a hyper-stylized variant of uppercase Latin\nglyphs. And, as corroboration, recall that one of the military folks said\n\"Garden Indigo\" later in the episode.\n\nLikewise, consider this image from episode 1:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/G7ILW.jpg)\n\nWhat do these look like? \"Wanted\" posters, of course. And if you look hard\nenough, you'll see that the top line of the poster on the right looks a lot\nlike a stylized version of the word \"WANTED\". If you look at the second line\nbeneath the girl's picture on the same poster, you can match up the glyphs\nfrom \"WANTED\" to see that this says \"-EWA-D\". Fill in the blanks - which are\nboth the same - and we conclude that this says \"REWARD\".\n\nWe don't have enough text as of episode 1 to construct a full translation\ntable, but the general principle here is straightforward.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere was not much information on why the hat was passed down but I will do my\nbest to give you an answer that I interpreted from the series.\n\n**Gol D. Roger to Shanks**\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6AW0R.png)\n\n[_Gol D. Roger_](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Gol_D._Roger) wore the straw\nhat first and it seems the time period that he wore this hat was when he was\ngathering his crew together. It is not disclosed as to how long he held it\nfrom the time of his crew gathering to the new captains garb that he wore\nuntil his execution. It is probably safe to assume that once his crew was\nassembled he probably gave the hat to\n_[Shanks](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Shanks)._ It seems that Shanks wore\nthis hat for almost all of his time on with the _[Roger\nPirates](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Roger_Pirates)_ and even a good deal\nafterwards even when he had his own crew the _[Red Hair\nPirates](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Hair_Pirates)._ Exactly why Roger\ndecided to give Shanks the hat is unknown at this point, but it would be safe\nto say that Roger saw something in Shanks and deemed him worthy of the hat. It\ncan be said that many of the people that have the [_Will of the\nD._](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Will_of_the_D.) seem to be able to see the\npotential (whether for good or bad) in an individual.\n\n**Shanks to Monkey D. Luffy**\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/B9ffP.png)\nAfter Shanks and his crew save _[Foosha\nVillage](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Foosha_Village)_ from the mountain\nbandits and after Shanks loses his arm to a Sea King to save\n_[Luffy](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Monkey_D._Luffy)_ we see the Red Hair\nPirates leaving the village. At this moment a young Monkey D. Luffy yells to\nShanks that he will become a great pirate, even more so the _[Pirate\nKing](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Pirate_King)._ After Luffy makes this\nstatement Shanks gives him the straw hat and tells him to return it after he\nbecomes a great pirate. The idea behind this gift is so that Luffy will put\nall of his effort to becoming a great pirate. Shanks wants Luffy to succeed\nand the hat is supposed to be both a challenge and encouragement from Shanks\nto Luffy. The challenge is to become as great of a pirate as he can be,\nideally the King of Pirates. The encouragement is that Luffy will get to\nreturn the hat to his old friend once he becomes great. One characteristic\nthat Luffy displays often through out this series is that he does not step\ndown from a challenge no matter how hard or dangerous it may be.\n\n**The Love for the Hat**\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/HnGY6.png)\n\nThe love for the hat can stem from many sources. For Shanks it was the\npersonal item of a man that he respected and most likely idolized. To receive\na gift from a person with as much fame and reverence of that of Gol D. Roger\nis not something anyone in the One Piece universe would take lightly, it is in\nitself a treasure. During his fight with Buggy Luffy iterates that the hat is\nhis treasure. To Luffy this hat being his \"treasure\" is the embodiment of his\ndreams of becoming the King of Pirates. He also loves the hat because of\nShanks, it would be pretty easy to read that Shanks was one of Luffy's idols\nwhen he was young. Most children are very impressionable so it is along\nsimilar views with Gol D. Roger giving his hat to Shanks. Both Luffy and\nShanks had a person that they viewed as an idol or person to surpass and the\nhat is can be represented as a dream, challenge, or promise. The thing is that\nthe hat means something a little different to everyone so its hard to give the\nreal reason as to why the hat is loved so much.\n\n",

But in mangas and\nanimes the animators and/or mangakas usually make certain characters\n(especially the important ones) in such a way that they stand out from the\nrest, to make an impact of that character on the fans/viewers/readers minds.\n\nOne more reason I thought of could be that the mangas are made in black and\nwhite. So there are no colours to support the uniqueness of the characters. So\nthe mangakas rely on the visually striking exotic characterisation of the\ncharacters and that has actually worked! It's a psychological successful\nexperiment to make the colourless pictures worth remembering. The mangakas try\nmaking most unique characters without violating the copyrights of other\ncharacters' appearance from other animes and without making it look like a\ncliché! (He is playing with your mind and you don't even realize it!)\n\nIt's one of the main reasons that animé characters and animes appear weird to\nthe people who don't watch them because the characters are so unusual and\nunique!\n\nYou can figure it out yourself: think of a character and what comes to your\nmind first (let's say from One Piece and ignore the coloring of the\ncharacters):\n\n * Luffy: **Straw-Hat, scar below the left eye** , round-eyes\n * Zoro: Bad-assness-overflowing, muscles, **three piercings** , three swords, bandana wrapped around arm\n * Nami: **Tattoo on left arm** , perfect body (well... **after timeskip** )\n * Sanji: One eye covered with hair, chivalrous getup, **spiral eyebrows**\n * Ussopp: **Long-nose, crooked body** (before the timeskip)\n * Shanks: No Left Arm, **three scars across left-eye**\n * WhiteBeard: Huge, well-built body, black bandana, his **crescent-shaped beard** (don't use \"moon-shaped\" please)\n\nI can go on and on for all characters across all animes but this much might\nsuffice...\n\nYou can visit [wikiHow](http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Your-Own-Anime-or-Manga-\nCharacter) if you want to know more about how characters are designed. If you\nare a real otaku and want to know deeper about how the mangas are made, try\n[Bakuman Anime](http://myanimelist.net/anime/7674/Bakuman.).\n\nHope this helps and proves reasonable.\n\n",

Cornello was equally useless in learning about the stone.\n\nOn top of that, a real stone would have allowed Cornello or Ed to do whatever\nthey wanted, presumably without any rebounding. This made the fake stone even\nless desirable for two reasons. First, there is no guarantee that it could\neven help Ed and Al (granted there was a chance, but it may not have been\nworth the time to look into). Secondly, even if Ed did get his hands on a fake\nstone, there was no telling if it would rebound and just make matters worse.\n\nOverall, it's not that it wasn't important, just that Ed had no leads on where\nor how to get a fake stone and that the risk might not have been worth it.\n\n",

Instead of\nrunning, he is actually leaping, and his leaps are consequently bigger, which\nmakes up for the loss of his leg.\n\nEven if people are of comparable sizes, I believe that a one legged person can\nrun just as fast as (or only a tad bit slower than) a two legged person. The\nmain problem that we have when trying to run on one leg is keeping our\nbalance. Kyros has been 1 legged for a long time and hence, clearly doesn't\nhave a balancing problem.

No matter how sturdy you are or how big your muscles are, if\nyou have only one leg, you can push yourself forward only half as often and\nthus half as fast as you can with two legs.\n\nI think the greater contribution comes from the fact that Kyros does not have\nto wear the weight of the missing leg.

This is\nan absurdly over-the-top translation choice, as any American could attest -\nMinori is certainly a cheerful and quirky character, but this goes well beyond\nthat.\n\nThis was widely hailed as [an innovation in\ntrollsubbing](http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:EGWwaDhreP8J:https://archive.moe/a/thread/15831373%20&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us)\non [gg]'s part, and was one of the factors that cemented their reputation as\nthe leading trollsubbers of their time. I mentioned that the fansub was\nabortive - indeed, [[gg] stopped subbing _Toradora!!_ after episode\n4](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=50209#msg1980927), and I guess they\ndecided to go out with a bang (all of the relevant blog posts I'd like to cite\nappear to have bitrotted out of existence, unfortunately). I emphasize this\nagain - almost surely nobody actually thought that \"rub a dub dub, thanks for\nthe grub\" was a good choice here. Rather, it was presumably chosen to get a\nrise out of its viewers (and succeeded quite well at it!).\n\nIt is as a _result_ of this particular incident that images like [this\none](https://i.stack.imgur.com/cIkD9.jpg) exist (the \"gg\" column, at least).\nLikewise, the _Sasami-san@Ganbaranai_ image in the question is a deliberate\n\"homage\" (if you can call it that) to [gg]'s _Toradora!!_ subs of auld.\n\n",

This shows that\nbetween the \"Near Side of the Moon\" and \"Far Side of the Moon\" Shiki is\nconfronting a different person. The Near Side Roa is after Arcueid while in\nthe Far Side SHIKI is after Akiha.\n\nThe discrepancy between the two is caused by who the dominating will of the\ntwo is. In the Far Side routes, SHIKI's will dominates (while in the near side\nit is Roa's that dominates).\n\n> SHIKI is the main antagonist during the \"Far-Side Moon\" routes, the stories\n> of Akiha and Hisui.

Does it go by story arc, in a\nway that a new story forms a new arc? Lastly, are anime story series—arcs,\nseasons, sagas, etc—determined by the manga volumes?\n\nPlease help me understand how this categorization works.\n\n",
