An anime about a bullied girl who gets help from a "god"?

You're describing the plot to the first episode of Noragami

Wikipedia excerpt of the first episode:

  A god named Yato answers a five-yen prayer to defeat a phantom that has appeared above a school using his Regalia, Tomone.

Below is a picture of the main characters - the one with the sword is the God, Yato.


Well it is intuition.
The more powerful/nen expert a person gets the more intuitive he gets. Experience also counts as one factor.
If you remember the time during GON returning to whale island after hunter exam with killua, he received greed island contents from mito which was given by ging.
Now here,

1. How did Ging know that Gon would attend Hunter exam ?
2. How did he know if Gon would qualify underground exam and learn nen ?
3. How would he know how the Zodiacs would react in President election(after netero's death).

This shows how experienced and intuitive he is. As said by Bisky that netero regards Ging as one of the 5 best nen users in the world.
Similarly, Ging knew Gon would not die.
This might be the explanation for your question!!


Order to watch the Danganronpa series? Is there a "Danganronpa 2"?

I think what is being missed here is the second game in the series, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

From the Wikipedia article:

  It is the second installment in the Danganronpa series, and a direct sequel to the 2010 game Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

It's the sequel to Danganronpa 1, adding to the DGR universe beyond the events of Trigger Happy Havoc, complete with a whole new set of characters, scenery, and more.

Danganronpa: The Animation is an anime adaptation of DGR1, AKA Trigger Happy Havoc, AKA THH. THH is the basis of the entire DGR story/franchise; it is the first game, but not the first event of DGR chronologically. Essentially all other canon media in the DGR universe builds upon the events of THH, so you'll want to start here. Either the show or the game will suffice, though I recommend the game.

DGR2's story is critical to both sides of the DGR3 animes. As per the wiki article, Despair

  tells the backstory of Hope's Peak Academy's 77th Class

which is the same class featured in DGR2. Even though 3/Despair happens chronologically before DGR2, I recommend playing DGR2 before watching 3/Despair. DGR2 tells the story of the 77th class, which is then given more context/backstory in 3/Despair. DGR2 does not have an anime adaptation, but it apparently has a manga.

The Future and Despair arcs aired simultaneously in an alternating fashion, starting with Future. Chronologically, Despair happens entirely before Future, but the intended watching order is actually the order in which the episodes are released; so, also in an alternating fashion starting with Future (source: wiki.) In other words, Future ep. 1, then Despair ep. 1, then Future ep. 2, then Despair ep. 2, so on and so forth.

So, to hopefully answer your questions:

All Series Watch Order:

DGR1/THH/Danganronpa: The Animation
DGR2: Goodbye Despair (game or manga)
DGR Ultra Despair Girls (game)

   A few characters from UDG appear in Future, so it may benefit you to play this first, but it's not a dealbreaker like not playing DGR2 is.

Alternate watching DGR3/Future and DGR3/Despair episodes, i.e. F1 -> D1 -> F2 -> D2... etc.
DGR3/Hope
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (game)

   IMO, V3's only strict prerequisite is DGR1 to get the full picture, but I recommend experiencing the whole series to be safe, if you can.

The DGR subreddit also has a good FAQ/writeup on this topic, including Supplementary Material.

DGR3 (Anime) Series Watch Order:

Alternate watching Future and Despair episodes, starting with Future.

A Note Regarding DGRv3:

The branding can be slightly confusing between Danganronpa 3 and Danganronpa V3. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is the third installment of the game series (and features a brand new cast separate from DGR1/2), and Danganronpa 3, as discussed above, is the anime split into two parts (Despair/Hope) and the last episode, Hope.


Is it a common practice to change the title into something different?

This occurs pretty often, it is called Cultural streamlining

  To accommodate American viewers, anime dubbed in the United States is usually modified to suggest it occurs within the United States or a fictional country thus resembling it. This is commonly achieved by substituting Japanese elements in a series by elements drawn from American popular culture, modifying food or other products to resemble their American equivalents and by replacing Japanese writing with English writing.

A very simple example as was given on the wiki is Ash from the Pokemon series carrying a sandwich in the American version while in the Japanese version he carries a onigiri

The same counts for the titles of those kind of series, aka the wandering samurai instead of Rurouni Kenshin. Because most of their audience would not even know what a Rurouni is.

Changes such as Samurai X usually are done for audience stereotyping, a series called Wandering samurai is less likely to be watched by a female audience. While the name Samurai X is also more attractive to the female audience, which broadens their audience for more income of the series.

In the end all Renaming of characters/titles is mainly for marketing purposes.


Was the "Cake Song" released in a soundtrack?

Cake Song from Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III: Rebellion has not been officially released as part of any soundtrack for the anime. Fortunately, there are many sites to download the mp3 for free.


Why "time patrol Goku" attacked "DBS Goku"?

We see a better representation of this in the manga. Xeno Goku was in search of Fu and charges towards him. This attack is blocked by Goku and Goku remarks on his unbelievable power and turns SSJB and a fight begins between the two of them.Two other interesting points to note is that Xeno Goku has not experienced anything from the ROF saga and is hence unaware of Super Saiyan Blue (Note: He is aware of the Super Saiyan God transformation). He is surprised by Goku's Blue hair. Also, an actual battle engages between the two of them, unlike in the anime which SSJB Goku ends up winning and Xeno Goku remarks that SSJB Goku was one step ahead of him.


Does Goku become the dragon itself at the end of Dragon Ball GT?

Goku did not become the dragon. Grandma Pan saw a glimpse of him watching the fight between Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr.

When Pan tried to reach out him, he was gone.


An animation featuring two chibis wearing tiger and dragon costumes duking it out

It is Etotama, an anime currently airing this season (Spring 2015).

Synopsis from MAL:

  The anime's story revolves around Nya-tan, the cat of Chinese astrology who wants to become a member of the Chinese zodiac. [...] She meets Takeru Tendo, a high school student who lives alone in Akihabara, and becomes a freeloader at his house. Little by little, she gets closer to her goal.

The anime's setting is built upon this folk story, which explains the origin of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac via a story about a race between the animals to become part of the zodiac. The Cat in variations of this folk story were always tricked by the Rat in one way or another and missed its chance to become part of the zodiac.

The scene you describe is from the second half of episode 1, where Nya-tan (Cat) and Doratan (Dragon) brawled out with each other to give Nya-tan the setting of "a tragic heroine who's shocked because the Dragon Eto-musume she thought was a friend ended up being a traitor".

A screenshot from around 16:33 of episode 1, showing both the Cat and the Dragon.

A screenshot from around 17:52 of episode 1, showing the Cat being restrained by multiple icicles.


What are the colours of the Magical Girl's Rings?

According to the list at the Madoka wiki:

Madoka Kaname (pink) -
Homura Akemi (purple) -
Mami Tomoe (yellow) -
Sayaka Miki (blue) -
Kyoko Sakura (magenta) -

You can see in each of the images the name on the back corresponds with the name in the image (which I translated from this online translator). So it seems the colors are the same as the color of their soul gems. It seems the green soul gem also belonged to Madoka Kaname.

The list can also be seen in this Crunchyroll news post.


This is one of his Santoryuu/Iitoryuu techniques.
According to the wiki: -

  Hiryu: Kaen (飛竜火焔 Hiryū: Kaen?, literally meaning "Flying Dragon:
  Blaze"): Using one sword wielded in his left hand with his right hand
  gripping his left wrist for support (or vice-versa), Zoro jumps high
  up into the air and slashes his opponent. After slashing them, Zoro's
  opponent then bursts into flames (in the anime, the color of the fire
  is blue instead) from where they were slashed. This was first seen
  being used against Ryuma. The animal or creature that usually
  accompanies Zoro in the background when performing powerful techniques
  is an occidental dragon. The dragon bares an uncanny resemblance to
  the dragon killed by Ryuma the King from Oda's earlier work, Monsters.
  The scene where Zoro slashes Ryuma with this technique also resembles
  the scene from Monsters, in which Ryuma slays the dragon.

Zoro has used this technique only once. There are many techniques which he has used only once!
Plus the name of his techniques are pretty complicated so its hard to remember :P
For further references, you can check the wiki


What is the name of the last song in the staff credits at the end of episode 25?

Found it! It's track #10 on cinema staff's latest album, Drums,Bass,2(to)Guitars (released 2 Apr 2014). I haven't listened to it myself (the sample is too short to be able to tell the difference between the regular version and the ep25 version), but according to the product description, this is what you're looking for:

  「great escape」はTVアニメ「進撃の巨人」の最終回のみで使用された特別バージョンで収録。

  This album includes the special version of "great escape" that was used only in the last episode of the TV anime "Shingeki no Kyojin".


Looping piano song that plays at 14:50 of Episode 8 of Parasyte The Maxim

I'm pretty sure it's just a 4-5 piano keys being played and not an actual song. Can't find it listed anywhere so I guess it's just simple BGM.


Is Yuri as a genre ever referred to to using Katakana or is it only just kanji?

EDIT: Rarely. 百合 is more common. The other two seem to be A) part of people's names or B) Lily flowers.

A few searches on google, amazon or any eshop will give you a rough idea.

Just a language note, any word in Hiragana can be written in Katakana. Katakana can be used for emphasis or italics purposes (often loan words but not necessarily).


What is this manga about a student who doesn't want his diploma?

Was Madara tricked by Hashirama when he absorbed the latter's senjutsu?

Like you've said, Hashirama is no idiot when it comes to war. The case is exactly same for Madara. Madara was a genius at manipulation, tactics, and logical thinking.

Senjutsu chakra is highly potent if a user doesn't know how to handle. But this is Madara we're talking about and not an inexperienced Genin.

  Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own chakra.

Since Senjutsu chakra is therefore mixed with the user's own chakra. So there is no way to separate it and/or hide/seal it away within a person's body.

And moreover, Madara had Hashirama's cells, welcoming the Senjutsu chakra into his body. Which explains how it readily accepted his body. Moreover, Madara was able to decode it within seconds, and figure out the working of it, hence the comment about belittling Senjutsu chakra.

Even if Hashirama tried to fool Madara, I'm sure he would have realized it within moments. But there was no mentioning about it by either of them.


Can Rimuru's Predator power put someone in an infinite dream?

I don't think so because the ones that are consumed(not confined like Ifrit or Veldora) are eaten soul and all. It is revealed in the novel series that the times that Shizu appears (after being eaten) is due to the leftovers of her soul. Thus I don't think Rimuru can put someone in an infinite dream, as he would have done that for Shizu if he could


What is the name of this song used in the "shed tears of scarlet" scene of Cowboy Bebop?

It looks like I missed a track while scavenging through the OSTs. The name of the song is Road to the West and is by Yoko Kanno/The Seatbelts (track 15 from OST 3: Cowboy Bebop Blue).

This is the Youtube video for the song.


Is Boruto published in Weekly Shonen Jump?

Yes, Boruto is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump and yes, it is published monthly, despite being in a weekly magazine. ANN article on it.


Final trigger that ended the Age of Gods(FS/N), World binding anchors beside Rhongomyniad

so I need to know the original trigger that led to the end of the first one

As indicated on the wikia under World > History > Age of Gods the transition of the Age of Gods (genesis) to the Age of Man (0AD) came in 3 phases

Deterioration

the Umbral Star passed by Earth allowing Sefar to invade in 12,000 BC, killing most sentient life, a large number of gods and plundering the vast majority of data from the Moon Cell

Separation

the weakened gods tried to create a link between them and humans by creating Gilgamesh, who ultimately rebelled and encouraged the complete separation of the gods and the humans
the gods ended up loosing their powers and became Divine Spirits
the decline of Mystery (which is how the world operated back then) is attributed to the demise of the King of Magic, Solomon

Trigger

in 700 BC, there is some unknown Trigger that caused the end of the Age of Gods (this has yet to be revealed)

so while the trigger to the very end of the age is not yet know it was probably some event which accelerated the age's end, however we can point to the fact that the Gods lost alot of power in the world after Sefar's invasion which lead to their downfall.

the page also lists an Age of Fairies which looks to be in between the Age of Gods and Age of Man but there is little information on this aside from the fact it has already ended, however given it's position between the 2 on the World page we might have a hint on when the Age of Fairies on the Rhongomyniad page

  Being the "king" that stood at the final moments of illusion and the Age of Gods, King Arthur possesses this Holy Lance that conceals such a tremendous power.

given that Vivian (the Lady of the Lake who gave Arthur/Arturia Excalibur) is a fairy we could speculate that Arthur's/Arturia's rule and legend is during the Age of Fairies

  Also are there any other anchors beside Rhongomyniad, if yes than what are they?

according to the wikia page on the Reverse Side of the World there may be

  Rhongomyniad is one of the "anchors" that fasten the planet together to ensure that the world of humans on the outermost layer of the world can't be destroyed by those on the Reverse Side who wish to reenact the Age of Gods.

Source: Reverse Side of the World (2nd Paragraph)

the use of the wording one of the "anchors" suggests to be there are more. however currently we don't know what the other anchors are or what form they take (or even if they are wielded in the world like Rhongomyniad with Arthur/Arturia and Grey)


Why do Aria and Suzu always play the drum and whistle?

no reason. it's a direction.
The measure is "three-three-seven hand clap"(san-san-nana-byoushi in Japanese).
There is no element that indicates the relevance of this direction in "Seitokai Yakuindomo".


What is being said during the Siege on Home?

It's probably "Ajanouha ihtan!", which means "Everyone under!"

There's a forum thread on GameFAQs about this particular question.

Post #8 by erict1628,

  It's "Ajanouha ihtan!", which means "Everyone under!" in Al Bhed.

  Cid is telling everyone to get to the Airship because he's going to level Home.

but Post #10 by Fallacia (an Al Bhed expert),

  This is actually one bit of Al Bhed I've never been able to fully get. I've never fully agreed with the "everyone under" interpretation. That may have been what was in the script, but the VA's pronunciation changes it a little bit. There's no pronunciation at all of the "uha" for "one" at the end of everyone. Instead, what he's saying is actually much closer to "ajano ihtan," with the spacing making it sound like "Ajanoiht-an." It tripped me up for a long time, because I had thought that he was saying something that sounded more like, "anmanoehk," "ammanoehk," "or amanoeh," all of which are nonsense when translated. With those, you get erlering, ellerying, and eleryin.

  I'm willing to believe that it was supposed to have been "everyone under," but instead it comes out as "Every Under" thanks to poor pronunciation of a language that none of the voice actors were actually supposed to have known. The same thing happens when people try to speak other languages for which they haven't developed an ear or just aren't native speakers. Even if the pronunciation isn't entirely too bad, it could still be completely unintelligible to a native speaker thanks to intonation, pausing between syllables, manufactured sounds, muted sounds, and a general sense that the person themselves hasn't created an association for the words they're saying, almost as if they are reading instead of speaking.

There's a same question posted on Yahoo! Chiebukuro (Japanese), with the answer,

  「ヒアシリハンヘモ！」と繰り返し言ってるやつのことかな？（聞き取りにくいですが。）
  ヒアシリハンヘモはアルベド語で、「地下に避難せよ」という意味です。

  《補足より》
  「ヒアっ（ｼﾘ）ハンっ（ﾍﾓ）」みたいに喋ってるんだと。アルティマニア情報だった気が。あとＦＦの用語辞典Wikiの、アルベドホームの欄に載ってました。

  Is it the guy who was repeating "Hiasiri hanhemo!" (it's difficult to be heard though)?
  In Al Bhed, "Hiasiri hanhemo" means "Evacuate to the basement".

  (Addendum)
  It's spoken like "Hia(siri) han(hemo)".
  I think Ultimania (guidebook) has this info. Also it's mentioned on Al Bhed Home's page on Japanese FF Wiki.


What is the symbol on Konohamaru's sleeve?

That is the symbol of the Sarutobi Clan of which he is a member.


Does Nijigasaki campus have a track field?

Yes, and it's shown right in episode one!
The first mention of its existence is when the captain of the drama club tells the members to run ten laps.
Later in the episode (about 15:46 in), there is a scene that pans through the various facilities of Nijigasaki High, and there the track is included. (Other facilities include a gym, a pool, and tennis courts). Below is a screenshot.

It looks like it is located at the Sona Multipurpose Plaza. It's a grassy park, so it already bears a resemblance, as can been seen from this pamphlet (the "grass field" section). Google also has a Street View where you can see almost the same view as the scene, with halls in the background.
The track comes up again in episode 10, where the club is jogging.

This Street View, takem from the adjacent road, shows the same Yurikamome tracks as in the screenshot, matching the same location.
Soon after this cut, they start playing tag, giving us another shot of the tracks:

The same Street View as the first one I posted, just turned around 180, shares a lot of the same buildings in the background. So, I'm certain the location is at Sona Multipurpose Plaza.


What's the song in Naruto (part 1) episode 107 at 6:51?

It's Daylight of Konoha By Toshiro Masuda.
The song is part of Naruto's second OST Naruto - Original soundtrack II published by Miya Records.
The CD is available on playasia and Amazon


The simple answer here is that this is what makes up a "Fratello" team, an older male handler and his young girl cyborg. This relationship is a really important theme throughout the series. They are young because they are easier to condition, plucked from traumatic experiences so they can form a strong new bond with their handler who has complete control over the conditioning and how much is needed. Like with the instance with Triela, where she sometimes expressed a bit of a rebellious (for lack of a better word) tendency toward her Hilshire, understanding the situation she's in and what the conditioning does, her bond with her handler trumps everything. Also see: Elsa, where her bond with her handler was so strong that it went to extremes (death).

I remember reading somewhere that this sort of relationship was easier to control as opposed to an older Female (or male) with a young boy, where the boy could be less cooperative and obedient, but I can't find that reference right now.

To answer your other question: No, there were no male cyborgs.


I don't know what the writers had in mind for this at the time that scene was written in Final Fantasy VII when it came out in 1997, but the 2004 cell phone game Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- explains how Sector 6 was destroyed. This game was never released in English, so I'm relying on the wikia for this information.

In that game, the player controls a member of the Turks during their conflict with AVALANCHE six years before the start of Final Fantasy VII. AVALANCHE takes in a girl called Felicia who was implanted with a materia by Hojo. The materia was supposed to be able to summon a creature called Zirconiade, but summoning Zirconiade required four support materia, which Hojo didn't know, so he pronounced the experiment a failure and threw Felicia out. She was taken in by AVALANCHE. Fuhito, a scientist for AVALANCHE, figures out that Zirconiade needs the four support materia to be summoned, so the group starts tracking them down in order to summon Zirconiade and destroy all life on the planet.

Zirconiade

At the end of the game, Fuhito manages to summon Zirconiade and the Turks fight it as the final boss. Its destruction creates a massive shockwave which destroys the Sector 6 plate. Six years later, during Final Fantasy VII, much of the Sector 6 slums is still wrecked and full of monsters, but some parts, including the Wall Market, are habitable. It isn't clear from the wikia whether these parts escaped destruction or if they were rebuilt in the intervening years.

Why does Sato not lose his memory in season 2's last episode?

The "New Person" you are referring to is more of an existential idea than a practical issue of memory. Sato threatens that he will cut off the main characters head and show him his body as the body regenerates a new head.  When this happens, the stream of consciousness splits in two.

The original head will be alive and witness the existence of the new head.
The new head will witness the old head die
The new head will remember seeing the old head but not watching the new head form.

The old head will have a stream of consciousness in which it lived, generated new memories after the branching, and then died without that stream of consciousness going somewhere else. Clearly the old head actually permanently died.  The fact that the new head has most of the old head's memories is largely irrelevant.  The old head died which is the head Sato is talking to and a new head/Person took its place.

Practically, the new person would pretty much be the same person but this is an existentially terrifying idea.

  The irony here, of course, is that this happens to Sato at the end giving the viewer a level of satisfaction watching the villain... in some way... dying.


Can't 17 give energy to Goku to restore Goku's power?

Firstly, the Energy given for the Spirit Bomb is different from the Energy given by Freiza and Vegeta to Goku. Goku can gather this energy from inanimate life forms and surrounding objects as well for the spirit bomb. Hence, in other words, Goku can't gather energy from a rock and regain stamina.Secondly, the androids have infinite "Stamina" which prevents them from getting tired like a normal individual. This might be because of mechanical part fitted inside Android 17. So it would be impossible for Android 17 to share his energy with Goku. A better analogy would be something like this.Let us assume there exist 2 human beings and 1 robot. Human beings need x amount of blood to survive while the robot has a fitted energy source which is different from blood but always keeps them alive.If one human is deprived of blood, he needs to rely on the other human and can't ask help from the robot despite him having an infinite energy source because the human has a different anatomy compared to the robot.


How many times was the nine tailed fox used to attack the leaf village?

We can use deduction to answer this with a few givens: the Leaf was created by Madara so it didn’t exist before him, and extracting a Bijuu kills its host, even Uzumakis (it just takes a little longer).

Okay, so going from that, we know that Madara was the first attack, that makes one. In response to the Madara attack, the first Hokage put the Kyuubi into his wife, Mito Uzumaki. We also know that it was directly given to Kushina Uzumaki from Mito. This means it never left Mito because she would’ve already been dead. While Kushina was in possession of the Kyuubi, it was extracted by Madara again, the second attack. Immediately after, it was given to Naruto, and 12 years later the events of Naruto began.

Thus, we can conclude that the Nine Tails was used to attack the Leaf exactly 2 times.


Does it make sense that Knuckle has a mascot as an emitter?

Emitters can create beings made out of nen; it has been shown with Emitters in the dodgeball game. Razor creates his 14 devils and Goreinu creates his gorillas. These creatures are not conjured but are simply physically shaped nen made to do a task. The nen beasts are invisible to people without nen training and are controlled with manipulation which is similar to emission for this purpose.

The creatures can also have abilities giving to them, like Razor's devils being able to merge with each other and Goreinu's gorillas being able to teleport. This is how Knuckle creates the APR with the powers. It's mainly emission with a small bit of manipulation to give the APR its orders when it's created. These abilities look like conjuration but are actually complicated emission techniques.


I think you should see chakra similar to heat. If it is 20 degrees celsius you dont see heat.
Now if its 40 degrees celsius you can see the air vibrating/moving.
First of, people with visual prowesses can see chakra.

Although chakra is usually invisible, those with certain dōjutsu, like the Sharingan, Rinnegan or Byakugan, can see the colour of someone's chakra. Each person's chakra apparently has a different colour.

The second point comes closer to my heat theory

It is also interesting to note the fact that sufficiently immense amounts of chakra are visible to the naked eye.

Here comes the intersting part " When does chakra count as immense ?"
We know that in naruto there is a system simalar to our blood veins, the chakra pathway system. Allong these paths there are special points called Tenketsu.

Though ninja use chakra regularly, very few ninja possess any great control over their tenketsu. Even of jōnin, the vast majority are only capable of releasing a small amount of chakra through their hands or feet to increase the power of punches, jumps, or kicks

The Hyuga clan's main attack focus on closing those Tenketsu. The The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms closes sixty-four tenketsu.

Though not explicitly stated, it is logical to say that the Hyūga clan (and Neji independently) calculated the exact tenketsu that would be required to shut down an opponent's combat ability.

With this information we can conclude that people whom can still function with 64 tenketsu shut are considerd above normal.

Neji Hyūga was shocked that Naruto Uzumaki was still able to stand after being hit with Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms as his body should have been in a virtually quadriplegic state.

We can also assume that the chakra a bijuu transmits to the user surpases the 64 tenketsu limiter, also the chakra from a bijuu is considerd more pure/powerfull then a normal chakra user

The tailed beasts (尾獣, bijū) are the nine titanic behemoths within the Naruto series. They are living forms of chakra, sometimes referred to as "Chakra Monsters" giving them immense reserves of especially strong chakra that far outmatches most shinobi. The tailed beasts' chakra is coloured red

There are still some mystery's regarding chakra. But as we slowly find out more in the manga/anime a beter answer might pop up.


Does Sidonia no Kishi's 256 frame formation have scientific advantages?

Having studied orbital dynamics and aerospace engineering, I can simplify your answer down for you.

Let's just say 1 mech exhibits a mass of about 5 units. However, the engine can lift up to 10 units, so in a 2-mech clasp formation:

(2x10)-(2x5)=10 units

This means that they effectively double the output of their engines.
So, the thrust of a 256-unit clasp formation, and let's also include the weight of one broken mech:

(256x10)-(257x5)=1275 units

This would give them an extremely long range compared to the distance only 2 or 4 mechs could fly.

To answer your question as to how they would balance it, simply cut the engine of 1 or 2 other mechs in strategic locations

This may just sound like I'm saying they can lift more, but the point is the amount of thrust generated exceeds the thrust needed to lift all of the units' mass, thus translating to more speed and range

Hope this clears it up for ya!


Why are there different classes of titans?

Spoiler alert!

  The classes are just sizes and nothing more. However, the 60 m class is not really a class but is classified as special or abnormal much like Eren and Annie. These specials are basically one of a kind titan that have different abilities like jumping and running. We see them several times in the series.


Why do so many character names start with あ

Aria and its precursor, Aqua, came about because the author, Amano Kozue, wanted to write a story about her experience in Venice and her favorite pet cat at the time, Aria (title drop!). In fact, according to the Japanese Wikipedia article, the manga was introduced as 「水と猫の物語」, a story about water (aqua) and cats, in its early serialization.

Because Amano loves cats so much, she incorporated many cat-related elements into her story: Cait Sith, Night on the Galactic Railroad and Alice Carroll as a homage to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which features the Cheshire Cat. There, another character whose name doesn't start with あ; the cat mascot of Himeya also doesn't have a name that starts with あ (Hime happens to be the name of one of Amano's cats).

So yea, sharing the same initial with her favorite pet cat, as well as having Alice as a main character and aqua and acqua alta as an important theme, are probably enough to set the mangaka on a naming craze.

Are the other Puella Magi mangas separate stories?

Madoka Magica (art by hanokage; story by Magica Quartet1) is an almost shot-for-shot manga adaptation of the anime. There are a couple minor differences (e.g. it's made more explicit that Sayaka kills the two guys on the train just before she turns into a witch; Kyuubey does these freaky open-mouthed smiles), but other than those, it's pretty much the same as the anime.
Madoka Magica was published as three volumes (covers: 1, 2, 3).

Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice (art by TENSUGI Takashi; story by HIRAMATSU Masaki) is set in the same universe as the anime and shares mechanics with it (such as Grief Seeds, Soul Gems, and so forth), but has very little in common with the anime in terms of plot. The city of Mitakihara is mentioned and Kyuubey shows up from time to time, but there's nothing to suggest that the characters of Kazumi Magica ever interact with the characters of Madoka Magica. (Kyuubey excluded, because he seems to be sort of a hive-mind thing without real individual identity.)
Kazumi Magica is compatible with the plot as depicted in the anime, given that there are basically no points of overlap between the casts. Kazumi Magica is generally considered to be low on the canonicity scale.
Kazumi Magica was originally serialized in Kirara Magica, and was later collected into five volumes (covers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Oriko Magica (art by MURA Kuroe; story by Magica Quartet1) depicts a possible timeline that occurs prior to the main anime timeline. All the major characters of the anime appear, with a particular focus on Kyouko and Mami, as well as some original characters such as Yuma and Oriko. Judging from the way Homura is depicted in Oriko Magica, it is suspected that it takes place in one of the timelines between timelines 3 and 4 of episode 10 of the anime.
Oriko Magica is generally compatible with the plot as depicted in the anime, though it leaves behind nagging questions like "Where was Oriko in the anime timeline?" and so forth. Oriko Magica is generally considered to be slightly higher than Kazumi Magica on the canonicity scale.
In addition to the two original volumes of the story (covers: 1, 2), there was "Another Story" (別編, cover), consisting of the stories Noisy Citrine and Symmetry Diamond, originally serialized in Kirara Magica. A longer continuation, titled "New Contract: Oriko Magica ~sadness prayer~" ([新約] 魔法少女おりこ☆マギカ ～sadness prayer～, covers not yet available), begins serialization in November 2013.

The Different Story (art by hanokage; story by Magica Quartet1) depicts a possible timeline that occurs prior to the main anime timeline (presumably between timelines 4 and 5 of episode 10). All of the major characters of the anime appear, again with a heavy focus on Kyouko and Mami. There are no (significant) original characters in The Different Story.
Noteworthily, The Different Story begins chronologically prior to Episode 1 of the anime. In fact, Volume 1 of The Different Story begins shortly after Mami contracts with Kyuubey, and then follows her life through her meeting and subsequent partnership with Kyouko. Volumes 2 and 3 bring us forward to the timeframe in which all the timelines depicted in the anime occur.
The Different Story is generally considered to be very high on the canonicity scale, because

It began as an adaptation of Drama CD #3 "Farewell Story", generally considered to be highly canonical.
Its creation involved more input from Magica Quartet than did the creation of either Oriko Magica or Kazumi Magica
The artist for The Different Story was hanokage, who was also the artist for Madoka Magica and Madoka Magica –Rebellion–, the two "most-official" adaptations
There are no known incompatibilities between the plot of The Different Story and the plot of the anime.

In light of these facts, it is generally agreed that The Different Story can reasonably be viewed as essentially canonical in the context of the anime, and so may fairly be interpreted as a direct extension to the anime. This is important because, if The Different Story is canonical, it gives us lots of knowledge about Mami and Kyouko prior to the events of the anime. All of this knowledge is necessarily valid in all timelines, because it occurs prior to Homura waking up in the hospital. As such, it would do much to inform Mami and Kyouko's motivations throughout the anime.
The Different Story was published as three volumes (covers: 1, 2, 3).

Madoka Magica –Rebellion– (劇場版 魔法少女まどか☆マギカ [新編]叛逆の物語; art by hanokage; story by Magica Quartet1) is a closely-hewing adaptation of the third movie, just like Madoka Magica was a closely-hewing adaptation of the series (corresponding to the first two movies, I suppose). All signs point to the story being plotwise identical to the third movie, but with some stylistic differences, both minor and substantial. With the third volume yet to come, though, anything could happen.
Madoka Magica –Rebellion– will be published as three volumes (covers: 1; 2, 3 not yet available).

Suzune Magica (art and story by GAN, I think) is another spinoff that has just begun. At a glance, it looks like it has nothing to do with the main storyline (though Kyuubey shows up, unsurprisingly), but as with all things Madoka, looks can be deceiving. More details as they come.

Tart Magica: The Legend of "Jeanne d'Arc" (art and story by the group Golden Pe Done) is yet another spinoff, and began serialization in volume 10 of Kirara Magica (the Nov 2013 issue). As the title suggests, the main character is Joan of Arc, who is a magical girl. In keeping with the prevalence of suffering in the Madoka Magica world, it appears that the story starts with a shot of her burning at the stake, and then flashes back to how, exactly, she came unto such suffering.
Note: "Tart" is, supposedly, an alternate spelling of Joan of Arc's last name.

Notes
1 "Magica Quartet" is the collective name for SHINBO Akiyuki, IWAKAMI Atsuhiro, AOKI Ume, and UROBUCHI Gen, who are the director, producer, character designer, and writer for Madoka Magica, respectively.


To the best of my knowledge, it's never mentioned again (not even later in Fate/Zero), aside from a throwaway reference on the Fake/states night webpage, which describes it (魔力針) as an item you could find in-game and which has Rin's name engraved on the back of it.

From an out-of-universe perspective, the obvious reason why we don't know what happened to it is that it was invented by Urobuchi for Fate/Zero, which was written after Fate/stay night, and it's not so important an object that its whereabouts in Fate/stay night would need to be explained.

From an in-universe perspective, I think the best explanation is that by the time of the Fifth War, Rin no longer needed the device - skilled mages can already sense magic to some extent. During the Fourth War, though, when she was just 5 or 6, she probably wasn't experienced enough to be able to detect mana all that effectively, and so the compass was somewhat useful to her back then.

By the way,

   Rin doesn't get the pendant during Fate/Zero. It's only at the beginning of F/SN (the day before she summons Archer) that she finds it with her father's effects. Rin does happen to show up at the end of Fate/Zero (for Tokiomi's funeral); that's when she receives the Azoth sword from Kirei.


Why King was demoted from #6 to #7 S Class rank?

Metal Knight and King switched ranks after the meteor event.  Metal Knight was promoted based on his "assistance" in destroying that meteor.  Public perception, contributions to the association, and a known list of accomplishments all factor into ranking decisions in the association.  It's not simply a matter of who is more powerful.  In this case, Saitama's contribution to the meteor event was undervalued, and the contribution of Genos and Metal Knight was overvalued (and both were promoted).


In MHA: Two Heroes what song plays at 1:19:20?

I think its this song:
ミオヤマザキの『ノイズ』（English ver.)
ミオヤマザキの『NOISE』 (English ver.)
It was hard to tell the difference because of the fighting noises in the back as well.


What happens to the human inside the titan when the titan dies?

I will try and answer by spoiling as little as possible.

I have read all manga chapters (including the newest one, 91).

   We have two types of Titans (so far): shifters, and non-shifters. A shifter is a Titan whose human can voluntarily transform into and out of the Titan shape. As far as we know, shifters are only the 9 original Titans. We also know that there is a certain serum that can transform a human into a mindless Titan. This serum was injected to Ymir (the person) and like all other mindless Titans, she wandered around until she accidentally ate a human who was a Titan shifter (Reiner's and Bertlod's friend). As such Ymir transformed into a human, obtaining the power of the so-called "Dancing Titan".

Which brings me to the next spoiler (approximately manga chapter 88 and above):

   Only "The people of Ymir" (Eldians, including Eren and the people inside the walls) can be transformed into Titans. Furthermore, the people inside the walls live on an island called Paradis Island, although far from the shore. Knowing that, the Marley government gathers Eldians on top of a wall next to the shore (but far from the walls), injects them with the serum and throws them on the ground. These Titans wander around eventually finding the walls and creating problems for the people of the walls. (A nice counter strategy from Marley, using a weapon they cannot control). The plot thickens when Marley has managed to convince Eldians to fight for them. These Eldians, such as Reiner, Bertold, Annie, Zeke, each hold one of the 9 original Titans power, and can easily transform from Titan to human to Titan again.

To answer your question

1) If you are talking about Titan shifters

Then you cannot kill a Titan without killing the human inside. The methods used by the Survey Corps are pretty much cutting off their nape. If you cut the nape of a Titan-shifter, then you are left with the human body of that Titan-shifter. If you consume the spinal cord fluid of this human body, you will obtain his/her Titan-shifting power.

2) If you are talking about mindless Titans

Then if you cut off the nape, there is no trace left of the human who was turned into this Titan. As far as it is revealed, we cannot say if the person evaporated, died, or something else. It is assumed that the person inside a mindless Titan dies, when the nape of the Titan is cut off. Hange speculated that the spinal cord and the central nervous system of a mindless Titan functions separately from the body. Maybe that means that the human body simply turns into a mindless Titan, thus leaving no human body inside of such a Titan.

A list of the 9 original Titans is here


How did the Euphorics contract the Euphoria Virus?

As you stated they both contracted the disease when the research lab exploded this got covered in Episode 10  "Suitengu Cometh"

Later on in episode 17

  Suitengu listens to the melody of his music box and utters the name "Yui." He begins to reminisce about his childhood with his sister, Yui. On that fateful day, he discovers his parents hung and a man arrives to collect the debt they owe. Yui attempts to pay with money from a child's game, but the man discards the money and takes her captive and sends Suitengu off to army training. Suitengu always keeps his music box and survives the battles for seven years. On his last mission, he is sent to attack a research laboratory, but when the rest of his squad is defeated, he ends up becoming a test subject. He is healed and given an Euphoric power which allows him to defeat the army when they attack again. After arriving in Japan, he saves the lives of Tsujido, Makabe, and Niihari, and they become his followers. Then, he entices Shinsen into his plan for dominance and sets his plan into motion.

With that knowledge there are several possibility that could lead to more power users. The 2 most likely would be

The virus had already been used for testing purposes or militairy purposes
There is more than just 1 laboratory that is developing this virus


According to this wiki
pan never did have to go super saiyan mode.

  [...] basically it's because the creator of Dragonball, Akira Toriyama claims that Pan never had a reason or situation to turn super saiyan. Her debut is at the end of dragonball z, as a little kid, and since Dragonball GT is not based off actual manga, Toriyama only envisioned Pan as a little girl in a time of peace, so there would be no reason for her to become super saiyan. Toriyama has also said that he doesnt exactly know how he would draw a female super-saiyan [...]


We know that warriors can recognize someone's aura by feeling it.

In Chapter 519, Goku asks Buu to use his magic to fight Uub. But we all know Goku isn't the smart type, he just has this feeling. Goku is the one who fought the most with Buu, its probably normal he's the one who's able to recognize him.


If you look at the word for ghoul as it's written in the title of Tokyo Ghoul, you can see that there's both kanji and furigana (pronunciation) for it. The furigana is グール, which the katakana word for ghoul. It's a phonetic loanword, pronounced guuru, which (based on the Japanese Wikipedia page for it) seems to have been taken from the English "ghoul", which was of course taken from the Arabic al ghûl.

The kanji, 喰種, doesn't seem to directly translate to anything, but 喰 means eat and 種 translates to a number of things, but the most relevant ones here are species or kind. Basically, it can be loosely translated to a species that eats.


Why is there consistent seasonal variability in the quality of anime?

I was going to agree with you jogging off recent memory however taking a look at upcoming anime for the rest of the year I can't say I agree one season is stronger than another. Here are a few examples for the rest of the year: Akame ga Kill!, Hanamonogatari, Space Dandy 2, Sword Art Online, Fate Stay/Night remake, Psycho Pass 2, Durarara 2, Evangelion 4.0, Log Horizon 2, new Gundam series. There are plenty of other great looking titles too though I can't say I know them well enough to know whether they will be successful or not.

I feel like this is all just a subject of opinion really, though this does seem to be the season for romance anime however, cant recall there being this much of it before.

Last winter did seem to have an unusual amount of mediocre anime though. I only watched a few things last season (winter) other than ongoing shows that were still running from the previous season.


What substance Tachikawa Yuko used on the Shimada Hideo's parasyte in the art club?

The Japanese label is 油彩剥離剤, which translates to paint stripper.

  The principal active ingredient in historically common solvent paint strippers is dichloromethane, also called methylene chloride, which has serious health risks including death.

  Symptoms of acute overexposure to dichloromethane via inhalation include: difficulty concentrating, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, headaches, numbness, weakness, and irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes.

  DCM is also metabolized by the body to carbon monoxide potentially leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.

  Prolonged skin contact can result in DCM dissolving some of the fatty tissues in skin, resulting in skin irritation or chemical burns.


Which was the power level of Broly when he was a kid, 10,000 or 920?

I have not watched the new movie, but if in the new movie they have stated that his power is 920 when he was a kid, then that is his "true" power level.

The old DBZ movies were never considered "canon", since we can not fit them anywhere in the storyline. The Broly movie was not even directed by Toriyama as you can see here, so it is kind of a "spin off" series, events that happened here had no impact on the DBZ storyline.

Regarding Super, things are a different. The first two movies "Battle of Gods" and "Resurrection of Freiza" were showed in the anime itself, although there were some differences between the anime and the movie. The Broly movie is direct continuation to the anime story line, since it picks up after the conclusion of The Tournament of Power. Furthermore the movie is written by Toriyama which kind of establishes it as part of the canon now.

So to answer the question, his power level is 920. The Broly in the new movie is a new character (which is based on the popularity of the old one) that is part of the canon storyline.


What are these kind of beam weapons used by Ghoul Investigators?

By the looks of the first image, it must be Narukami:

  Narukami (ナルカミ, Narukami) is an ukaku-type quinque. It discharges condensed Rc cells just like lightning bolts. Possessing a tracking function, evasion of the bolts is next to impossible.

And for the second image, it is the Higher Mind:

  Higher Mind (ハイアーマインド（高次精神次元）, Haiā Maindo) or Angel Beat (天使の羽ばたき（エンジェルビート）, Enjeru Bīto) is an ukaku-type quinque that shoots beams of concentrated energy or condensed Rc cells.


Does the pin in Steins;Gate pose any information paradox?

If Steins;Gate was set on a single timeline then you could describe this exchange as an information paradox. However, the series is known to use a multiple timelines model, which can allow for this case:

Timeline A: Someone (Okabe?) designs the pin.
Timeline B,C,D,...: The story unfolds, the pin may or may not have already been created in the different timelines, and may or may not have been shown by Suzuha at all.
Timeline Z (that is not A): The timeline in which Suzuha brings the pin To Okabe AND Okabe ends up recreating it.

Of course, the information paradox could still apply in the multiple timelines model (if timelines Z and A were one and the same), even though it is more likely to have taken place over multiple timelines without looping back, with a clear start and end.


How can we sort manga (by genre) within Crunchyroll's manga utility or mobile app?

With the Crunchyroll Manga app, you have the ability to sort...

...and sort by a specific genre you're looking for.

The kicker here is that the genres you may be thinking of might not be the same ones that Crunchyroll supports.


What song is playing in "Lelouch of the Rebellion R2" episode 17 when Lelouch met Suzaku for the 3rd time?

It's called Declaration of War, allegedly an unreleased OST. I found it on youtube by side while going through Code Geass tracks researching for another song, and I remembered it when I heard it in the video you linked to. It is somewhat similar to Naruto's Orochumaru theme.


Will Made In Abyss season two feature the same producer as OST?

Based off this tweet by Kevin Penkin himself from the 8th of August, I would say yes.

What is the longest-running manga series that has already ended before september 2016?

The series mentioned by senshin in the comments are hard to beat. But here is a new record:

Chiisana Koi no Monogatari (小さな恋のものがたり) ran for 52 years, from 1962 to 2014.

It was created by Chikako Mitsuhashi and published by Manga Time. A total of 43 were published.

Sources: wikipedia and myanimelist.

According to the same wikipedia article, the record to most chapters seem to go to Sazae-san, with 6477, and the one for more volumes published to Nijitte Monogatari with 111.


How did Homura strip Madoka's divine powers in Rebellion?

Because at the time Madoka, while she may have regained her powers and memories, wasn't omnipotent.

  It also implies that the isolation field is actually blocking Madoka's omniscience, since she cannot enter the isolation field as a concept.

Source: Rebellion/Synopsis - Part D (2nd paragraph)

  [Homura] then grabs Madoka's hands, surprising her. (It is implied that Madoka has not regained her omniscience because she is still existing in only one place.) Homura says that she's finally caught Madoka as her soul gem goes completely black.

Source: Rebellion/Synopsis - Part E (5th Paragraph)

Now we can assume that had Homura not interfered, Madoka would have regained her former omniscience, but while she was in the Isolation Field we don't know exactly what effect this was having on the universe.

Maybe when Madoka recovered, she could then attend to any witches which may have been born while she was away
Maybe before leaving, she had a backup system in place to keep the status quo until her return
Maybe as a token of appreciation and worship, the Puella Magi saved by Madoka would detain Witches with some form of magic until the return of their Goddess

  How was Madoka not able to take Homura into the Law of Cycles since that's what her wish was in the first place?

Now, more than likely what happened was that Homura created a major Paradox preventing the Law of Cycles, a law of the Universe, from doing what it was meant to do. We have seen a major Paradox like this before when Madoka made her wish, became a witch that could destroy the universe, yet was able to destroy it as well and continue fighting on. I suspect a powerful enough paradox will cause the universe to "reboot", creating a new rule to account for the Paradox as it did with Madoka's wish.

  How can a soul gem be tainted by anything but grief/despair?

Because Soul Gems are the Magical Girls themselves. Since despair is a complex emotion of hopelessness, anguish, and unhappiness, it seems perfectly logical that a Soul Gem could be filled with Love as well.

As for it being tainted with love, you should read over this answer which suggests how Homura's love became tainted, to quote one line

  Homura claims that all this negative energy comes from her love for Madoka due to several events:

  [Homura] became a demon

Just to correct you here, she's a self-proclaimed demon.

  Homura says that since she is a being that brought down and imprisoned a god, it's only appropriate to call her a demon.

Source: Rebellion/Synopsis - Part E (6th Paragraph)

Homura became the same as Madoka, but the difference between Madoka and Homura is that Homura manipulated things so that she would still exist in the universe in the same way she allowed Madoka to as well (albeit without her memories or powers)

  Homura, now wearing an earring and lacking her magical girl ring, claims she only took a part of the Law of Cycles — the part that was Madoka before she stopped being herself.

Source: Rebellion/Synopsis - Part E (7th Paragraph)

So in a sense, Homura and Madoka are the same. However, Homura proclaims she is a demon because she is the opposing force to Madoka's will (the Law of Cycles) by breaking it and we see at the end that should Madoka remember who she is, the Law of Cycles will reclaim her which Homura will do what she can to prevent.


What was Izumi doing in the Central City railway station?

Izumi was looking for Ed and Al. She had been hearing rumors that they had joined the State Alchemists and become dogs of the military.

In the 2003 anime we see that Izumi and Sig are talking to Mustang before Ed, Al and Winry leave Central. At the end of Episode 26 the two have caught up to them in Rush Valley. If I recall correctly, in the next episode Izumi reveals that she came after them to "re-educate" her wayward students.

The Welcome to Central City poster that we see Izumi and Sig look at to me looks like a directory of sorts. You see Izumi is looking at a list so she is probably looking up places to search.

I would assume it's the same in Brotherhood (I can't remember exactly if their reunion was the same) because in both series Ed has made a name for himself as a State Alchemist and in both Izumi shows her dislike towards the military. There is no doubt she would hear about the "State Alchemist and Hero of the people Edward Elric".

What happens if Uzumaki and Uchiha married each other? Will their offspring have Rinnegan?

No, just an average/general Uchiha and Uzumaki marriage cannot give birth to a child who is capable of activating Rinnegan. In order to activate Rinnegan one requires chakra of both Indra and Ashura which enables Hagoromo's chakra. Please refer the below url. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinnegan


What is the oldest "original" anime series?

The Naruto wiki page on clans has a good explanation of what a clan is, plus a list of all the known clans. To sum up, it goes something like this:

First, it is important to notice that the kanji used is 一族 (read Ichizoku), which literally means family. So, clans are families or groups of shinobi that constitute a basic unit of a village. The Senju and Uchiha clans were the first known clans to form an alliance to create a village, which was an example followed by many clans.
As you referred, belonging to a clan is usually defined by genetics/blood, which is of the utmost importance in the usage of kekkei genkai. Also, clans pass down from generation to generation said kekkei genkai or other jutsu which are a specialty to the clan, which shinobi unaffiliated to any clan do not seem to do with their regular jutsu. Some clans are extensive and composed of several families, while others are just composed of a nuclear family.

List of known clans:
- Aburame clan - Konohagakure
- Akimichi clan - Konohagakure
- Amagiri clan - Yumegakure (Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive game only)

- Hagoromo clan - No village (pre-village era)
- Hirasaka clan - Yumegakure (Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive game only)
- Hōzuki clan - Kirigakure
- Hyūga clan - Konohagakure
- Inuzuka clan - Konohagakure
- Jūgo's clan - Unknown village/no affiliation (Jūgo is the only known member)
- Kaguya clan - Unknown village/no affiliation

Technically, Minato Namikaze is still titled as the fastest ninja. Take a look at the signature Ninjutsu of Minato, the Flying Thunder God Technique. It's classified as one of the Space-Time Ninjutsu, which are techniques that allow the users to teleport to another location instantaneously. No one can exceed the speed with using only physical power.
If you're talking about the comparison of raw physical speed, Fourth Raikage takes the lead. Naruto Uzumaki is still pretty fast, but he only surpasses the Fourth Raikage when he's in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.


I'm going to answer based on the manga, because I still have not seen the Brotherhood anime. I think this is just fine, as it seems that the anime streamlined the ending a bit.

This is going to be spoilerific, but scarcely more than the question itself, so I'm not putting all of it in spoiler tags.

Let's start at the core of the issue. You say that Father "absorbed" God. This may be a bit of a misnomer. It's more accurate to say that he simply contained God within himself to control its power. And this is the crux of his defeat.

While not explicitly stated, it's obvious that Father needs tremendous amount of energy to contain God. He already had the power of half the people of Xerxes, but his plan was to bolster this power by the souls of all the people of Amestris. However, Hohenheim managed to thwart this part of the plan by forcing the release of these souls right after they were taken.

This weakened Father's grip on God, but not enough for full release yet, although his control over his powers obviously weakened (See chapter 105, pages 32-33). After this, everybody started attacking him. The military, the rebels, Edward, May, and even blinded Roy Mustang. Father deflected all these attacks without even lifting a finger, sometimes even retaliated. However, even though he seemed to be unaffected by all these attacks, they do require energy from him to block. Slowly but surely, his energy reserves diminished to the point that he started to take damage.

This led to even more energy drainage, because now he had to use the energy to rebuild himself. Energy that he desperately needed to contain God. As the battle waged on, it became more and more obvious that God was actively battling against Father to escape. He tried to salvage the situation by absorbing Greed, but this turned against him, because Greed (and as far as I understand, only Greed) betrayed him and caused his limbs to turn fragile. That and the final punches from Edward pushed his energy reserves over the limit, and he no longer had the power to contain God. What happened next is sort of hard to explain, so I'll just refer to Chapter 108, page 21.

After all this, Father, now reduced to Dwarf in the Bottle, found himself in front of The Gate. He had a brief encounter with Truth and was then violently dragged within The Gate, to whatever fate awaited him in there.


I'm actually pretty sure that gaara did sleep sometimes.

It's explained that when the host of shukaku falls asleep, shukaku slowly, key word slowly, eats away at that individuals personality and psyche. This is part of the reason that gaara is so unstable, because he DOES sleep sometimes, and when he does shukaku starts devouring his mind.


What is this song in Episode 459 of Naruto Shippuden?

What does Satella whisper to Subaru as he spams declarations of his return by death?

She says "I love you".

Source from reddit

  From what's been hinted at in the web novels I think she whispered "I love you"

A commenter named "Mitrospeed" on a certain anime site who has a great knowledge of both Light and Web Novel also said the following in his review to episode 20:

  Subaru makes use of the one thing that makes him somewhat useful which is his role as a bait. He tries to spread the witch’s miasma and attract the whale with it. But for the first time we see a difference. Behind him we can see a shadowy figure which clearly seems to be Satella. You can lipread what she says; it’s "I love you".

I cannot confirm that it really lipreads to "I love you", but I see no reason to distrust the commenter.


How did Commander Erwin know that the spy/traitor(s) would be within the 104th training squad?

From a well established Tumblr blog post:

After the death of Sawney and Bean, Erwin then was able to narrow down the list of suspects, as only a soldier was able to kill the titans with 3DMG. Because of this, he went around asking cryptic questions to try to weed out liars and traitors, making people second guess themselves.
Then comes the night of the ceremony where the cadets join the Survey Corp. That night, Erwin instructed Levi to take Eren out on a ride to recon the area. Why exactly would he do this? It's clear it wasn't just a normal exercise, as Levi was rushing Eren and seemed frustrated and stressed. This was Erwin's way of narrowing down the suspects. By having Eren leave and the ceremony on the same night, he could deduct that if the enemy did not attack Eren or at least show up to the castle to kidnap him when it would have been strategically best to do so, then it must mean that they were otherwise preoccupied somewhere else. Where else? The ceremony. If someone was missing from the ceremony, it would be suspicious and draw attention to them. So this narrowed down the suspects to the 104th Trainee Corp.


While not an exact match, that is sounds like an unofficially released variation of the track Sneaking Nightmare (OST 3, Track 20). Here is another version of it as well.


Symbols given by Sage of the Six Paths to Naruto and Sasuke Chapter 672

Assuming that the symbols are Moon and Sun, it is very much related to the Symbol Yin Yang.

The first character yin means: overcast weather; feminine; moon; cloudy; negative electrical charge; shady.
The second character yáng means: positive electrical charge; sun.
The simplified characters clearly show the moon/sun symbolism, since they can be deconstructed to their elements moon and sun. The element is a variant of the radical which means "abundant". So Yin Yang could represent the contrast between the moon and the sun.
But Yin Yang is much more than just a pair of opposites. It conveys the idea that each of the opposites is dependent on the other, and how they continuously transform from one into the other.
Another thing, according to First Principles: Symbolism of the Sun and Moon:
Sun can be translated as fixidity, steadiness, firmness, and strength of purpose. The Sun rises day after day regardless of weather conditions, the behavior of humanity or the placement of planets in the sky. It traverses its set path, always giving light and heat and asking nothing for itself in return. Very much like Naruto.
Moon is said to rule the senses and emotions. Moon is said to be fickle and changeable. Emotions change and fluctuate as our thoughts and attitudes change. Synonymous to Sasuke.
Conclusion:
Naruto and Sasuke (Reincarnation of Indra and Asura) is described to be opposite or contrary with each other but they are interconnected and interdependent naturally; and they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.
As per the chakra, well, I think it is also connected (Naruto is Bright Yellow/Light while Sasuke is Dark Violet?/Dark). The nature (wind and fire) is different.


Why didn't the Dragon slayers disappear when the eclipse gate was destroyed?

First (and more importantly): According to the Wikia page of the Eclipse Gate (sorry, I couldn't find the actual chapter where the princess actually explains this):

  Many years later, after a different Eclipse Gate is constructed, following the conclusion of the fourth day of the X791 Grand Magic Games, Arcadios and Yukino bring Lucy, Natsu and their friends before the gate while attempting to persuade Lucy to help with the Eclipse Project.

So this is not the same Eclipse Gate that was constructed by Zeref and used by Anna and Layla to bring the dragon slayers into the present, therefore destroying it can't have an effect on whether the dragon slayers are present in the current timeline or not.

Second: Evil Rogue and his dragons disappeared, because the gate that he used in the future to come back to the present was destroyed in the present, therefore he won't be able to use it to come back to the present, therefore he wouldn't be able to bring the dragons from the past. This same logic doesn't apply for time travel which brings people to the future: no matter what you do with the time travelling device after they arrived, they will be still there as there is no need for the time travelling device to keep them there.

(Other than this, yes, time travel in most of the stories sucks and is usually full of plot holes. Fairy Tail is no different, there are lots of open questions. With Eclipse destroyed why didn't we go back to the original timeline with 10000 dragons destroying everything? Or why did the city remained destroyed after the dragons disappeared? Well, at least we didn't get a "Back To The Future"-like "timelines slowly change, there's still time to save your parents' marriage" plot hole.)


Why are the physiological wing locations on the beastmen body inconsistent?

Michiru's transformations are largely instinctive and driven by her emotional state and force of will.

 As you noted, Michiru had already been transforming her arms by force of will.
 - Michiru extends her arms in at least two episodes
 - Michiru "bulks" her arms up to throw crazy hard pitches

When she needed to fly, that was the instinctive part of her body to change.

 It should be noted that she also changes her feet into bird feet, likely another instinctive change.  Michiru can do more elaborate changes (including reverting to a human and becoming a chameleon) only through deliberate concentration.

Nazuna, meanwhile,

 has had considerably more practice at transforming. She is really a fox, but makes herself look like a wolf beastman at will (her shift is near-instantaneous when she and Michiru are interrupted unexpectedly). She also does a convincing facsimile of the real Silver Wolf, including going down on all four legs and glowing. It's likely she could will herself into any shape.

 Most importantly, Nazuna saw this as a way to build herself as an artist. Michiru's flying transformation would not fit with her desired persona of a "cute" wolf.


Why didn't Father simply capture and imprison the Elric Brothers?

Father simply didn't consider them a threat.  Like all the homunculi, he looked down on humans, saw them as, at most, resources and overall useless.  We get this exchange the first time Ed and Al meet Father with Ling after Father healed the Elrics:

  Ling: I don't like him. I can tell he looks down on humans and calls
  us fools.

  Father: When you notice an insect on the ground do you stop
  to consider it a fool?  The life of an insect is so beneath you that
  it would be a waste of your time to even consider judging it.  That
  would be an accurate summation on my feelings towards you humans.

Why bother going through the effort of chaining up something that can't possibly hurt you?  Why even consider such effort?  You have a number of incredibly powerful homunculi who could subdue the Elrics at any time, not to mention the power to shut off their alchemy and reduce them to nothing.  As far as Father is concerned, why bother?

On top of that, it's probably harder to keep them alive in captivity than to let them run free and hold their friends hostage.  The brothers could decide to kill themselves if they felt they had no reason to live.  They might be motivated to do so if they thought it might save the people of Amestris.

So if you believe that the Elrics are incapable of thwarting your plans and keeping them captive and alive might be more trouble than it is worth, why bother?


How does the summoning of the Ten Tails work?

Because the Juubi will not be revive in its full form and make the juubi weaker for every tailed beasts that has been extracted only by parts.


Which chapter of the manga closely follows after Attack on Titan EP 25?

May I assume you meant in "which chapter"? Because if we said "which manga", well, surely it's in the main manga, Shingeki no Kyojin. True that the series now has many spin offs, but the anime is based on the main series, and as far as I remember, all of those spin offs came out after the hype caused by the anime.

According to Shingeki no Kyojin Mangaupdates Page:
Anime Start/End Chapter
Starts at Vol 1, Chap 1
Ends at Vol 8, Chap 34
So you can start at chapter 35...


The term "Kage" is not used to just refer to any leader of any village it's only for the leaders of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. Their responsibilities include:

To oversee the ninja activity in the village.
To prepare and send ninjas to the active missions.
Organize the ninja promotion exams (chuunin exam).
Manage the rewards of the mission and distribute it as a payment for the ninjas.

A village is ruled by 2 political and 1 military power. You have the Feudal Lords, the Elders and the Kage. The Kage, before taking any big decisions that will involve the entire village (activities not only ninja-related), for example safety issues (What to do with Naruto), have to discuss it with the Feudal Lords and the Elders. In other words, the Kage is the biggest title a ninja can get, but regarding the administration of the village, it has to be discussed with the Elders and of course the owners of the land and possibly of the economy: the Feudal Lords.


Can Naruto use Rinnegan techniques if he were to implant it?

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, Nagato (Pain), who was an Uzumaki, was able to use Rinnegan jutsus. Naruto, who is also an Uzumaki, should also be able to use Rinnegan much like Nagato.


Who is the boy in the coffin in the last episode (of the Gemini of the Meteor)?

If it's sticking vaguely close to the manga it's Kagutsuchi (the being unknown) who is created when Izanami (Yin) and Izanagi (Hei or Shion) bond as predicted in the Mikata Documents.

  Izanagi gazes upon the false sea bottom, waiting for Izanami. Izanami
  will cross the sea bottom and eventually the two will meet. When they
  do, heaven and earth will split in two, and there the Gate of Hell
  will open. From the Gate will come forth one, a being unknown. And
  strife will continue for eternity.


Why is pornographic anime and manga referred to as "hentai" by non-Japanese sources? And when did it start?

As mentioned by Krazer, A Short History of 'Hentai ' by Mark McLelland
provides an excellent in depth analysis of the word's origin.

For people who do not want to read such a lengthy article, its gist is :

Since the Meiji period, the use of the term hentai has had a parallel history in both science and psychology, but the sense that hentai communicates of something being unusual or abnormal comes from the latter.

It was first used in the middle of the Meiji period in the context of the developing science of psychology to describe disorders such as hysteria as well as to refer to paranormal abilities such as telepathy and hypnosis.It had the connotation of something outside or beyond the normal.

Although the term originally circulated only among medical specialists, by 1917 it was being popularised via such journals such as Hentai shinri [Abnormal psychology]. However it did not have any particular sexual connotations in this context. Hentai's sexual reference was to come not through its connection with hentai shinri but through its juxtaposition with another, related term, hentai seiyoku or 'abnormal sexual desires'.

The technical term seiyoku or 'sexual desire' was introduced into Japanese via German sexology which began to be translated by medical doctors such as the army physician and novelist Mori Ōgai from the middle of the Meiji period.The notion of hentai seiyoku or perverse or abnormal sexual desire was popularised via the translation of German sexologist Krafft-Ebing's text Psychopathia Sexualis which was given the Japanese title Hentai seiyoku shinrigaku [The psychology of perverse sexual desires].


What does 'Akame ga Kill' mean and why is it called that?

To reiterate, アカメが斬る (Akame ga Kiru) means "Akame cuts/slices/kills". Kiru also has another meaning: "to perform surgical incision", though the kanji is 切る in the case of this definition. This aligns well with the settings of the series: the goal of Akame and her group is to perform the necessary surgery on the corrupted empire by eliminating the tumors.

What is missing in the title are the objects, the targets that Akame kills. In episode 1, Tatsumi said 「俺が斬る」 (Ore ga Kiru), which means "let me kill (her)" or "I'll kill (her)". Even though there was no object specified, we could infer whom Tatsumi would kill. As for whom and what Akame kills, アカメが(Xを)斬る, the object X can be any of those in the chapter titles. Granted, it wasn't always Akame who did the killings, but she is actually a personification of Death (see explanation below) because her lethal and efficient one-cut-kill is befitting of Reaper's Scythe.

  Does it mean that Akame is Death itself, or Akame is Dead (Not physically, but mentally - that she is dead inside).

Actually, that is my thought exactly. In episode 24,

   Esdeath remarked that Akame is no longer human. It makes sense because Murasame's one-cut-kill doesn't work on non-human beings, or more precisely, beings without a beating heart, which is why Akame didn't die after cutting herself with it because she became Death. Also at the end, Akame said "I can only kill" because that is her newly acquired job as Death. Najenda and Akame, the only two survivors of Night Raid in the anime, actually symbolize Life and Death, as shown by them wearing capes of opposite colors and carrying out opposite roles of constructing and destroying for the new empire.

  Akame was just an ordinary member of Night Raid, yet the show is named after her. She wasn't the main Protagonist, she wasn't even the main Waifu!

Princess Mononoke is also named after San who is not the main protagonist, even though Hayao Miyazaki had originally preferred the title The Legend of Ashitaka and even went as far as to create a new kanji for legend (sekki). Although Akame is not the main protagonist, like San, she is still indispensable to the plot, especially in a symbolic way.

Why not name the series Ore ga Kiru or Tatsumi ga Kiru? Well, because it wouldn't be as intriguing as Akame ga Kiru. The readers would get hooked on who is Akame and why does she have red eyes, the literal meaning of akame. (In Chinese, it so happens that there is a phrase 殺紅了眼 to describe a person who goes berserk from killing too many people that his eyes turn red.) It's red eyes and not black eyes because the story is full of the so-called "leftist" ideas, hence the oft regarded color of the left. Subjectivity aside, the ordering also matters: a is both the first letter in the English alphabet and the first character in Gojuuon, so Akame ga Kiru will pop up earlier in searches than the alternatives.


Do Gogeta and Vegito have the same personality?

Most People seem to think Gogeta is the serious counterpart of the fusion and takes after Goku while Vegito is the cocky and confident counterpart and takes after Vegeta. This is incorrect. The main reason people seem to think this is because of the Gogeta in Dragon Ball Fusions: Reborn who is completely different from the canon iteration of Gogeta.Firstly, all fusions share 1 common trait. They tend to become very cocky and act in a very arrogant manner while mocking their enemies. This personality seems common between Vegito, Gogeta, Kefla, Gotenks etc.Gogeta seems to have the same playful and cocky personality Vegito does. We know this because, after fusing, despite the brevity of the situation, they spend time thinking of a name. Even when he starts fighting Broly, Gogeta was smirking and smiling throughout the fight and was never really keen on putting an end to the fight right at the start(Even Though he could) and was simply using more power than his opponent and overwhelming him.However, another important thing to note is that Broly is somewhat of an anti-villian and he wasn't really someone you could communicate with while fighting. So Gogeta didn't really have the necessity to insult him or mock him.Not to forget, although SSJ4 Gogeta isn't canon to the series, he was probably the complete definition of a troll when it comes to all fusions. The Bluff Kamehameha & Back Scratch etc.In conclusion, there don't seem to be any unique defining traits that distinguish Gogeta and Vegito apart from their appearance. So no, their personalities seem to be the same.


There is no in-universe reason for it, in the 2003 anime, the 2009 anime, or the manga. None of them give a reason for it, nor does any Word of God. In fact, Sig Curtis in Brotherhood sparkles a couple times as well, in addition to the rest of the family.

It's worth noting that there is a trope called "Bishie (bishōnen) Sparkle". I doubt many people would classify Armstrong as bishōnen, but that article does mention that it does represent the personality of the one who sparkles (as a bit of a cutesy "he's beautiful inside" fluff). Here's an excerpt from that very article:

  In Fullmetal Alchemist, THE ART OF SPARKLING BEAUTY HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN IN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS! And it really has, although Major Armstrong is more 'manly' than pretty.

  It's not just Major Alex Louis Armstrong who has this trait, but THE ENTIRE ARMSTRONG FAMILY THROUGH THE GENERATIONS.
  Not just the entire family: the sparkle is possessed by a flower woman whose family has SERVED THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS. And one of her hairs has the Armstrong curl, too.
  Sig Curtis also develops a sparkle when he's doing manly things with Armstrong. Curiously enough, his sparkle isn't pink, but brown-ish.
  May's Inner-Mind Theatre version of Edward and later Alphonse have this.
  Roy Mustang gets some sparkles in the 13th episode of the 2003 anime adaptation during his duel with Edward.
  As does Envy in the Chibi Wrap Party OVA, to hilarious effect.
  Lampshaded by Breda when he's impersonating Armstrong to prank his colleagues: He's got small pink paper cutouts that look like Armstrong's sparkle, suspended on wires.
  Armstrong also sculpted a statue of himself in The Movie from the 2003 anime series; it had a small four-pointed piece of stone for a sparkle suspended by a strip of metal coming from the body.
  Fullmetal Fantasy, the Fan Film produced by the English vocal cast, has Real Life Armstrong complete with sparkles, quite possibly the film's Crowning Moment of Funny.

Also, inarguably, it's funny. And the Rule of Funny applies.


Is there any clarification from the publisher/author of Hunter x Hunter regarding the quality of chapters 335 to 338?

(expansion to my comment above, which would have been an answer if I could have found the image below)
I said:

  Are your images from the weekly manga or the compendium volumes? When time pressure hits, Togashi's art will tend to suffer, as he does what he can to make delivery of his weekly art. But when the HxH volume is published, he tends to clean it up so that it looks a lot more like his usual artwork.  – RichF 5 hours ago

I can't identify the page, chapter, or volume, but here is an example image I built to answer a completely unrelated question (What defines the art-style of Japanese manga?):

On the left is Togashi's original page as it appeared in its weekly form.  On the right is his final version of the page which appeared in the associated volume.

Based on Gagantous' reply to my comment, apparently Togashi didn't always clean up sloppy weekly pages for the follow-up volume.  Maybe for the volume used in the Question to show us examples, Togashi's health (and/or deadline pressure) didn't allow for the cleanup.


What does the B in King Torture's soldiers' forehead stand for?

In episode 9, we get a better look at the soldiers:

Here, besides the B on their forehead, we can see a T on their belts.
Also, earlier that episode (around minute 2), the Branding Piranha calls out the soldiers by yelling "Come on, Torture Boys!":

So, the B most likely stands for Boy(s), as in Torture Boy(s).


I read the light novel, and you got it wrong. It wasn't that only 3 devils survived. Think of it more like they were an endangered species (more than 3), and to increase their number one devil created the chess pieces. When a devil wants a servant, it doesn't limit to just humans, it can be any creature (devils included, i.e. Ravel). For example, a dragon that trains Issei is actually a devil as well. As for someone having to die before they can be a devil is false, it's more like they are just reborn as a devil when they are turn into a servant.

Both Rias and Ruval are pure bloods meaning their parents are devils. In Rias' case, she has no King, but she could if another devil wanted her as their servant (which is the case with Ravel).

Lastly, not all Kings are pure bloods. I'm pretty sure the first season explains that if Issei tries hard enough, he can get his own set of chess pieces making him the King.


Did Kakashi attain an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?

In short, no. Kakashi didn't achieve an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
According to wiki:

After Kakashi loses his Sharingan, his body is temporarily inhabited by Obito's spirit, giving him Mangekyō in both eyes.

So now the question is Why he didn't achieve Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan ?
Now again according to wiki:

Their vision can be restored by receiving the transplanted Mangekyō of
an Uchiha with strong blood ties — ideally a sibling — thus
awakening so-called Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The Eternal Mangekyō
merge the designs of the transplanter and the transplantee's
original Mangekyō.

Since Kakashi was not having his own original Mangekyo so it might be possible that he was not able to achieve it also it is mentioned that there has to be strong blood ties. So I guess according to me both of them have to be from Uchiha clan but in this case Kakashi was from Hatake clan.


Why do only people from the Uzumaki Clan get chosen as the Jinchuuriki for the Nine-Tails?

The answer pretty much lies on the skills and abilities of the Uzumaki Clan.

1st: Members of this clan were very knowledgeable in the art of fūinjutsu, and were both respected, and feared worldwide because of their prodigious skill. Fūinjutsu are a type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. Fūinjutsu can also be used to unseal objects either from within something or someone.

2nd: The Uzumaki Clan lives in Uzushiogakure. The people of Uzushiogakure were noted to have notoriously long lives, so it gained the epithet "The Village of Longevity". The clan's life force was the reason Kushina survived the extraction of her tailed beast, despite additionally just giving birth only moments before, though she was left severely weakened.

These two (as far as I know) are the reasons why they are a chosen to be jinchuriki.

And another thing, if you analyze the situation, as the parent or member of certain clan that possesses a Kyubi, it is more likely for them to give the Kyubi as an inheritance for the next generation (Ex: Kushina to Naruto: given also the fact that they have the required skill to do that)

What's the song that plays in Code Geass R2 episode 25 after Todou collapses?

It's called Fascination, the 40th track on disc 2 of a limited edition of CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Re;surrection O.S.T..


Was Majin Buu able to turn people into physically anything?

It's not clearly explained in neither manga nor anime, but my understanding of this ability is that he can turn anything (remember he turning rocks into candies?) into lifeless stuff, so turning people into monkeys might be too much for him.

I mistook monkey for money. Since gun and money are lifeless stuff, I would say yes.

PS. People turned into lifeless stuff may still be conscious depending on how strong they are, for example, the fusion of Goku and Vegeta was turned into a candy yet still can fight, and Uub was turned into a chocolate by his own beam yet still can turn himself back.


Fairy Tail's Aquarius can still materialize?

The answer was revealed in the following issue

   The key to summon Aquarius has been reborn somewhere in the world and the gate was opened by the Celestial King so that Aquarius could deliver a message to Brandish and Lucy


What meaning does the nickname "Kyon" has?

According to RomajiDesu, it's a species of barking deer. It's humorous because the "n" on the end makes it sound feminine. Onii-chan is a token of respectful affection,  in contrast.

It's the contrast from being called (in all sincerity) "dearest big brother" and "Bambi"


What is the headpiece on Chi from Chobits called?

If you are talking about the "ears", they're literally called "ears". As for the function, there's different ports that are part of the ear assembly, and for most persocoms, that's where the on/off switch is (Chi's on/off switch is elsewhere). For persocoms that don't charge through solar power, the charging outlet is also part of the ear assembly.


It depends on a few different things, including the content, the style, and when it was made (i.e. did the technology exist to do it one way vs. another?)

Here's a GREAT example of multiple anime styles used in a single show -- we go from "high quality" level animation for the transformations, to the more "western", flash-friendly style the show is normally in, to a rather garish live-action explosion at the end. These all require different approaches.

If you pay attention, you can also spot where the characters aren't moving much in certain points in the video (like where Panty & Stocking are standing still under the "disco" lighting), so they can get away with only drawing the frame once even though the scene goes for much longer.

When "tweening" between keyframes (to produce moving animation like your soccer ball example), yes, those have to be hand-drawn -- or at least hand-checked, even if a computer is used to extrapolate between keyframes! Using certain animation software like Flash, Toon Boom, or 3D modeling software like Blender may take out some of the work, but none of that software can compensate for a bad animator, or replace an artist at the helm.

There's plenty of shortcuts animators use, but the computer never draws the cartoon for them -- they still have to do that part themselves!


Short answer: yes.

Slightly longer answer.

In the beginning of the Anime, when the group including Ranta go to get their class specific training, We are greeted with Ranta having a new ability with him. The 'Vice' you mention.
This is because, as we know 'Dark' knights, offer up sacrifices to some form of a 'Dark lord' and have formed a pact.
Just like the Protag (I forget his name) got the ability to see an enemies critical location, and follow a 'stream' of light with his blade, to reach it. Ranta got his own class specific ability.


What's the name of the song that played in the last few minutes of episode 13 of Charlotte?

「君の文字」 Kimi no Moji "Your Glyphs", sung by Kumaki Anri. It ought to be out as part of the OST on 4 Nov 2015.

"Sinking Ships" is the one that starts at around 12:50 into the episode.


Shamo

Selected synopsis (emphasis by me):

  Ryo Narushima (成嶋 亮 Narushima Ryō?), a talented highschooler who was about to enter Tokyo University, the most prestigious university in Japan, killed his parents before his successful life could begin. [...] The 16-year-old bookworm murderer was convicted and sent to a reformatory where he was gang raped by other boys. Kenji Kurokawa (黒川健児 Kurokawa Kenji?), a jailed man who nearly assassinated Japanese Prime Minister decades ago, was sent to the reformatory to teach the youngsters karate every week. [...] Ryo returns to society with the mindset of gaining strength so as to survive and never be a victim again.

Of interesting note is that

  This story was inspired by the Kobe child murders of 1997 that a 14-year-old "Boy A" ("Shōnen A") killed and decapitated several children.

The plot and settings somehow reminded me of Rainbow, which tells the story of 7 teenage delinquents, their lives in the reformatory, and their encounters in the real world outside. One of the seven killed his father (if memory serves), another went searching for his sister, and yet another learned boxing while in the reformatory, all very similar to what the protagonist Ryo in Shamo did.


What OST plays in episode 10 of season 3 around 15:00?

That song is called I Don't Need Pretend Friends and it is from My Hero Academia 2 Original Soundtrack Disk 2

Why does the Death Note never run out of pages?

Since there are multiple questions, I will divide the answer also into multiple sections.

Why doesn't the thickness of the Death Note increase?

The rule quoted in the question seems to contradict a statement that Sidoh makes in one manga chapter. He says that to get his Death Note back, he has to wait until the current owner dies or till the all the pages are filled up. Since both the manga and the How to Read sections are canon, I would call this an author mistake. However, an interpretation is possible wherein both statements could be correct, without causing contradiction. Let us consider the three cases.

How to Read version of the rule is correct.
If the pages in the Death Note never run out, we can assume that new pages will grow somehow once all pages have been used up. The most plausible explanation for why the book doesn't become thick is that Light tore away and destroyed some or all old pages after the new pages grew.
L or Near only verified that the people whose names were then present in the Death Note had indeed been killed. They did not, and could not, verify that there were other people killed whose names are not in the Death Note.
Sidoh's statement in manga is correct.
In the manga pilot, the Death Note consisted of 60 pages with 38 lines per page. Once you ran out of space, you could ask your Shinigami for a new one.1 The pilot chapter is usually considered non-canon, but it is possible that the authors planned for the Death Note in the manga to behave similarly and simply forgot about it when they wrote the How to Read.
Both versions are correct.
We could interpret the statements as the following. When Sidoh said that the Death Note's pages are filled up, he was referring to the physical Death Note. The How to Read section refers to the logical or conceptual Death Note. The new notebook that the Shinigami gives could be seen as the "continuation" of the earlier book. Since there's no limit to the number of times you can ask the Shinigami for a new book, the pages never run out logically.

How is tearing the last page interpreted?

This is an easy one, since a torn page from the Death Note is still technically a part of the same Death Note. This can be seen from the following canon events, both of which Light puts to good use for his plan.

Someone touching the torn piece will see the Shinigami associated with that Death Note.
Someone who has lost memories of the Death Note, will remember them, after touching that torn piece.

This implies that until that last page is filled up, the book is still considered to be not filled up.

Could Light rip-off pages and distribute them to create a Kira army?

Technically, he could do it, but there are a number of reasons this would not be a good idea.

From the explanations in the first two sections, it follows that unless all pages are used up, Light won't be getting any more pages. (Until all pages are filled up, new pages won't grow, or the Shinigami won't give you a new book, depending on which version is correct.)
Distributing the Death Note pages increases Kira's chances of getting caught. Even if he chooses people with a "high sense of justice" as he wants, not many would be as smart or careful as him in covering their tracks. There's a good chance someone would spill the beans, over a glass of alcohol, for example. Moreover, if the pages fall into the hands of Police, they could serve as evidence, which would eventually be backtracked to him.
Even if Light has their names and faces, he cannot possibly keep track on their every activity, and killing them after they have committed a mistake would not help him much. In particular, note that:

   what eventually contributed to Light getting caught was Teru Mikami acting on his own, without waiting for Light's orders.

What does Tom mean when he said “If you're a man, then do it with a 'Don'”?

I found an alternative translation of the anime:

  If you're a man, do it resolutely.

I also looked into the printed volume I own and there stands (translated in English):

  If you're a man, do it with ambition.

Those two translations are quite consistent so I'm not quite sure if Ivan's answer is actually correct.

Beside that, the manga translation I found the most online is also the one given given in the OP:

But I also found the translation suggested in St. Pat's comment:

  If you're a man, do it with a bang.


Can this anime be identified by a small number of disconnected scenes?

That sounds almost exactly like IRIA: Zeiram the Animation to me. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107228)

I really loved Iria when it first came out, the action and character designs are excellent. Interestingly, this OVA is based on a live-action movie series called Zeiram (which I've never seen). I wish they had made sequels to this anime because I found Iria a pretty engaging character at the time (haven't seen it in forever). Her grappling hook thing was pretty slick and she kicked serious butt ;)

The alien (Zeiram) is pretty much unstoppable and has a creepy, extensible face (kind of like a Xenomorph). It can clone itself and absorb people. Here's the description of the monster (from http://myanimelist.net/character/21662/Zeiram#aJugBUYj0dqWceUH.99):

  "Zeiram is the ultimate being and virtually indestructible. In addition to being
  extremely powerful, Zeiram can generate imperfect clones of itself to assist in battle.
  Zeiram also needs to assimilate other life forms in order to sustain itself, but in
  doing so it is thought that Zeiram can learn whatever is known by the organism being
  assimilated. Zeiram is not a unique creature and other versions of itself are known to
