I've never seen a manga with so many full-color chapters. I believe for Fuuka, Kimi no Iru Machi, Suzuka (all of them by the same author), and also many other manga only have a few pages of color manga when there is a color edition.   Yet, from chapter 116 to 134 (as of writing), all of the chapters have another version that is in full-color. From my perspective, this is very unusual. I understand that it is a very popular manga, but manga I listed above and other manga are just or even more popular, but none to my knowledge have had this many strings of full-colored publications.  Is there a reason to this or did the author/artist just have a lot of extra time to devote to coloring in the manga?

Does anyone know why all the latest releases (about 5 chapters) of Shokugeki no Souma have all been in color? It's great and all, but it's starting to scare me.  For some reason, it's hard to find copies online, but I read manga on my phone and all the latest chapters are like HD full-on color.

While rewatching The Flowers of Evil, I noticed this character in episode 2:    The character on the left struck me as very odd - she's wearing braids (which would normally suggest a female character), but she also has sideburns, which seem to be more or less only something men wear. (I'm assuming the character is female from the voice actor who plays at that moment.) Moreover, if the character weren't female, it would be odd for a school to allow him to wear braids.   suggests that this character also appears in the manga, so is this just intentional character design, rather than an error in the art? If so, who is this character, and is there anything (e.g. personality traits) that might explain this odd hairstyle? (I have not read the manga yet, and so can't easily look this up.)  Update: I remembered seeing some video footage of the live-action filming that the rotoscoped animation was apparently from on YouTube, so I might try to dig that out to see if I can get a better idea of what's going on here. On a second glance the braids struck me as a bit odd in terms of the shaping of their ends (one usually expects the hair to thin out somewhat and possibly curve a bit), so it occurred to me that this might be useful.  Update 2: After reading the entire manga, I couldn't find a character with identical design. (From the uniform -- notice that the character here wears a bow, instead of a tie -- it seems certain that they're probably female.) However, I did notice a presumably female character with very short hair (for a girl) that was in the corresponding chapater of the manga. I don't remember if the character was wearing a female uniform but will look it up later when I have time.

I have to admit, I didn't even know spoilers were supported until today, but really bugs me that spoilers just look like empty block quotes before you mouse over them.   Is this a spoiler or just a long empty block quote? I can't tell right away, so it would be really nice if there was some indication of which one it was so I didn't have to push my mouse all the way over to it. What can I say, I'm incredibly lazy.  vs.         I suppose the author should include something that says 'Spoilers below:', but it would be nice if there was some other indication of what it was.

In the first Shingeki no Kyojin opening, I've seen some scenes with lower contrast or brightness, something like this:    And later, in the same sequence, a scene appears without that contrast change:    I've seen this kind of contrast change in the HxH remake as well, and the first thing that comes to my mind is that legendary Pokemon episode where a lot of kids suffered of photosensitive epilepsy attacks in Japan thanks to Pikachu and Co.  Does it has some relationship with that or there is another reason? Maybe a new law in Japan related to these flashy images on TV?  It seems this change appears only in new anime (I don't remember seeing something like this before last year). Any clue around that time?  ===UPDATED===  It's not just in the opening; here are more examples:  One of many scenes where the image is normal:    Then comes the darker scenes. Maybe it cannot be appreciated in the snapshots, but all are a full sequence of images appearing quickly with a bright background:      And then it returns to normal:    This is from the last HxH episode. At first, the image looks fine:    Then comes an attack and the image looks darker. Maybe the effect is not so intense as in Shingeki no Kyojin, but it is still there. Look, all these bright flashes coming from the hits seem not as bright as they should be:      And then the image looks normal again - compare the smoke color before and after:    As @JonLin notes, maybe it could be some kind of TV censorship, despite that there's nothing to censor besides all these flashy lights. Is it just me being paranoid or is there something more behind all this?  ==UPDATE 2==  I've found a Blu-ray rip of the Shingeki no Kyojin opening (no subtitles, no credits) and I took some shots of the same frames that I already put. To the left, the TV version and to the right, the BDRip version (click for more detail):        So it is not an effect to make things more dramatic, but rather an effect included only on TV. I suppose the same applies to the other shots (at least in SnK).    So my question comes again, why, lately, are there some anime with darkened scenes? My conspiracy theory is that it is related to those bright changes and possible photosensitive attacks. If that's true, why is this being applied lately? And why doesn't it appear on DVD/BD? If not, what else it could be?

As I'm sure many of you do, I read the  webcomic regularly. The  involves a joke about the Axiom of Choice, which I didn't get.     I went to Wikipedia to see what the Axiom of Choice is, but as often happens with things like this, the Wikipedia entry is not in plain, simple, understandable language. Can someone give me a nice simple explanation of what this axiom is, and perhaps explain the XKCD joke as well?

According to the , Yachiru disappeared leaving her belongings after the fight with Gremmy. She is said to be "gone" by Kenpachi in the penultimate chapter of the original series.  I use "original" because there might be extra chapters announced as the other big announcement.  So, what happened to her? Was she part of his Zanpakutou or something?

Was there any reason why Dr Soong chose for Data's eyes to be yellow?  I can understand that he wasn't going for a completely human-looking android based on his skin color, but why yellow eyes?

So the anime I'm looking for is about a red haired boy suddenly being transported in another world in his modern world while going to his school with his blue haired friend (he was transported alone). Upon shocked at the fact he was in another place he tried desperately looking for his friend and trying to figure out why he is there while doing so he finds a man and a woman with a big filled bag go in an airship and leave (Maybe I got that wrong) he sees a red gem on the ground and picks it up. After a few more episodes he finds out he is the chosen one in the world who can save the world from chaos. The world had animals or creatures that is kind of similar to pokemon but with gems to power them up and without them beeing in a space in which we don't know what it's like when not in need for battle or any kind the animals connected with the gems turn into a small size enough to just have them sit on your shoulder or on your palm. What the red haired boy picked up was a beast inside that was very strong the red haired boy's animal partner was also red. The animals looks like plastic toys that came to life.  The blue haired friend who was with the red haired was shown in the series that he was also in the universe but was controlled by the evil person who wanted to get every gem stone and use it to make his animal more stronger than everyone else and wanting to destroy the world if I can remember the red haired met friends and traveled a lot of places in search of gemstones that can power up their partner animals the male and female with the ones with the filled bags who were the minions for that evil person would get in the way of red haired boy just like team rocket in pokemon but after the evil person said he had no use of them they were shocked and unable to process what to do after a while they sided with red haired boy and his friends but I think those two had ulterior motives?  I remember that the animals looked like dragons and dinosaurs but look like plastic toys and it's not Magi Nation please  I was looking for this in a website in which I used to watch it from and now I have found it apparently it's called Zinba the boy has brown hair not brown his animal partner is not a dragon but a lion I'm sorry......I'm wrong in so many things because I haven't watched it in a long time

Okami is now reborn in High Definition for PS3. The graphics are obviously better, sharper and yet preserves the gist of the original game, however I can swear some of the texts have changed as well.  My PS2 console is no longer available to me so I can't test it myself, but does anyone know whether there are any changes to the game (aside from graphics) or not?

I need help with identifying the comicbook, what follows is my best effort to gather whatever I remember from reading it years ago (circa year 2000, but I'm positive it was older than that):   The main character was a guy with white hair, who wanted to become powerful.  Through some training and a deal of some kind he was able to become a mage of sorts. The training was set on some other world, or possibly even parts were happening in different dimension. His powers might have had something with travelling between dimensions, but I'm not  100% sure. Also, I seem to recall there was a hard limit of how many times he could use them. Then followed a part where he was famous, but someone framed him into a scandalous plot (it was a sexual scandal, I think) using his clone or a doppelganger. At the end of the issue     the main character is seen trapped in some strange state, unable to move or escape using his powers (this might have to do something with the deal he made earlier). I remember the scene at the end as this: he is suspended in mid-air, his friends look at him in disbelief while some malevolent figure explains to them that he is now trapped forever.  His name was the title of the comic. The second and third parts were set on futuristic-looking planet.   Rings any bells? I'd like to read it again only I can't google it out.

First of all, why was the anime completed before the manga? As far as I am aware, the anime is ahead of the latest manga chapters by a large margin.  I've heard that the anime actually differs from the manga; does this mean we might get a remake like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for Fullmetal Alchemist?  Furthermore, will the manga continue on with Akame's story? Will it explain some of the plot holes that were left unanswered in the anime?

How was it exactly that Nagato came upon his Rinnegan?  Madara states that it was his, and that he gave it to him: how did he do that? Did he transplant it into Nagato, or did he transfer it otherwise?  Note: I do not recall whether this was explained in the manga or not.

explains what rich black is, but when should it be used?  If it gives a "blacker black", why not use it for all black elements in a CMYK job (body text/line art/tints)? Would there be any downsides?

I'm trying to figure out how far back I need to go to get the full picture of the current Magic: the Gathering story.  There's a full list  which seem to be split into various cycles not all of which are relevant, and is missing the web articles.   For the sake of simplicity, I'm interested up until the Theros series which seem to  the last full length novels, then I can read the web article stories. In less there're relevant articles from before the Theros series.

I've watched both the Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night anime (including the Unlimited Blade Works movie), but none of the visual novels, so no spoilers from that unless they are light spoilers. One thing that bothered me was that despite the fact that heroic spirits are defined by the public opinion/view of them, some heroes had qualities that were in direct opposition of what the public thought.  We know that heroic spirits, being sealed on their Throne of Heroes, are meant to be completely unchanged. This is the entire point of the Throne of Heroes. But this seems to be in opposition of the previous fact that heroic spirits are defined by what others think they are. Then there are Counter Guardians who are completely different, I believe, in that they are not sealed on their Throne of Heroes.  One particularly important Counter Guardian of the series is Arturia, or Saber. Arturia is female, despite the fact that she was treated by even her contemporaries as male, and has gone done in history as male. In fact, there isn't even any small hint as to Arturia's gender being anything other than male in our history, or the history of the Nasuverse (I believe). This being true, shouldn't Arturia be male?  This not being the case shouldn't Arturia be erased, or else create instability in the World? Same with Iskander. In history he is known for being pretty short, even for a Macedonian. That he is very tall means there is an incongruity with human knowledge and true fact.  Furthermore, in the Unlimited Blade Works movie Archer is revealed to be Heroic Spirit Emiya. If Heroic Spirit Emiya is summoned before he is even a hero, or acquired his gift from the World, etc., then how is it that Heroic Spirit Emiya is even strong at all? The power of a Servant being based on their popularity at the time of their summoning, Emiya should be weaker than pretty much every other Servant, and then some.  Maybe I'm just over-analyzing things, or I have some misconception. In any case, answers are appreciated.

I live in Norway. Is there a site where I can read Bleach online legally? I have tried to look, but I have not found a suitable site yet.
