Protagonist and characters\n\nMC in _Persona 4_ is white-haired. The first person to join the team was the\nson of a department store owner, followed by a tomboy. _Persona 5_ MC is\nblack-haired.\n\n 2. Place setting\n\n_Persona 5_ was set in Tokyo. _Persona 4_ was in a small remote town.\n\n 3. Story\n\n_Persona 4_ starts with a mysterious murder that happened during a foggy day\nand has to do with a TV channel that can only be accessed during certain\nmidnights.\n\nSo, with at least those 3 reasons stated above, you can be sure that it is\nsafe to play _Persona 5_ without playing the previous installments beforehand.\nTreat _Persona_ series like the _Final Fantasy_ series. Every title is its own\ngame, although they do sometimes make references on its previous installment,\nsuch as recurring summons, monsters, equipment, names, etc.\n\n",

As such, there doesn't really seem to be\n\"examiners\" as such. The hunters just seem to collectively keep tabs on the\npassing participants to see if they figure things out on their own. Some\nactually teach these people Nen, but none seem exactly obligated to do so.\n\n_So, in short, there propably isn't the sort of requirement you mention,\nbecause there aren't really any \"examiners\" at this point._ All teachers we\nsee seem to be giving their lessions more or less out of their free will,\nrather than any sort of obligation. Of coures, almost everybody capable of\nteaching Nen is already a hunter (with the some exceptions like the Phantom\nTroupe, who know Nen but aren't necessarily hunters), so they would be\nqualified to pass those they teach, when they seem ready. But remember that\nthere are people who already know Nen, who pass the Secret Exam the moment\nthey pass the Public Exam, without any sort of fanfare.\n\nBasicly and simplified to the extreme, I'm proposing that in stead of any sort\nof examiners, just about any hunter can just contact the Hunter Association\nand say _\"Yeah, they know Nen now. They're real hunters alright.\"_ Of course,\nthe exact details of the Secret Exam are rather vague, so the answer is rather\nspeculative.\n\nAs a side note, I think it would be theoretically possible for someone to pass\nthe Public Exam, learn Nen from a non-hunter and then pass the Secret Exam\nwhen other hunters learn about this. But there isn't really an example of such\nthing ever happening.\n\n",

Also of\ncourse there are others like Hisoka who already know it and are qualified\n(provided they pass the earlier exam) as hunters already.\n\nThat said, I don't think the hunters **have** to learn nen by themselves, they\njust have to understand its existence and then search for teachers.

Well, there's also 1-by-1 recording just like eroge approach. \nActually, a female seiyuu who performed a bed scene in a certain normal anime\nstated that even though she was quite embarrassed because there was a voice\nactor beside her and co-actor behind her, she performed it precisely in the\nend.\n\n * [How is the mental state of the seiyuu in hentai anime and eroge?](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1115191991)\n * **akatsukinops** : Here is a comment from a female seiyuu on an H-scene of a normal anime: \n1) at the time of recording, she wore a hat until eye level because she was so\nembarrassed. \n2) There was an H partner's male seiyuu just beside her and they recorded the\nvoice together. \n3) She could only face the front (the script and the monitor), she couldn't\nsee co-actors (beside) and staffs (behind) totally. (Now she has passed the\naudition for H-scene and appeared on adult works anonymously/on different\nname)\n\n * [How does seiyuu record their voices in H-anime?](http://mamastar.jp/bbs/comment.do?topicId=2249301)\n * [comment #9](http://mamastar.jp/bbs/comment.do?topicId=2249301&commentNo=9): I'm a (female) seiyuu. Because there are also non-H scenes, they're done just like other (normal) anime, but there are also those who record the voice 1-by-1. When it's the H-scene, each stand in front of their own mike. [...]\n\n* * *\n\nWhile it's not asked, I'll put info about eroge voice recording too. \n(Also, it's because I couldn't find much info about the actual hentai anime's\nvoice recording. It got mixed up with AV with seiyuu theme, _which I believe\nis not how they actually do_ )\n\nAs mentioned before, for eroge, it's (almost?) always done alone inside a\nbooth with only a script book and a mic. The reason is, compared to the\n(hentai) anime, there's no detailed animation timing to be followed.\n\n[On an online Q&A Twitter session with a female eroge seiyuu, \"Satou Yuki\"\n(Japanese)](http://www.excite.co.jp/News/game/20100802/Kotaku_201008_eroge_voice_satoyuki.html?_p=2),\nwhen she was asked how she recorded the voice, she answered that it was done\ninside a booth. Answers on [Yahoo!\nChiebukuro](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1060944365)\nalso agree with that.\n\nThere's [a 1-hour variety show in Japanese about eroge's seiyuu on\nYouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcFONU1R72A). It's rated R-15+ by\nthem but **definitely NSFW (occasional explicit graphic & explicit sound)**.\nAlthough there's no caption, it's still worthy to watch since they actually\ndemonstrated how they performed the sound/voice... _on a straight face_.\n\nBonus: [a compilation video of NG scene when doing eroge voice recording on\nYouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA9ffY9hY64) (still image and sound\nonly, **NSFW: explicit sound** ). It shows that they don't feel uncomfortable\nwhen performing such voice.\n\n* * *\n\nMy personal conclusion is, whether the scene is H or not, it doesn't seem to\nseriously obstruct the seiyuu's performance even if there are other people.\nIt's their job, after all.\n\n",

Sasuke obtained his\nrinnegan powers After receiving half of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's chakra, not by\ndrinking the blood of karin.\n\nNinjutsu haven't been shown to have any form of lingering chakra effects,\nmaking it highly unlikely this one would have had.

But not in the same way as Sasuke did, as this would\nrequire Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's to sacrfice his chakra to her.\n\nHowever the likelihood she will active the rinnegan is close to non, as this\nwould require larger amounts of Asura and Indra's chakra. Which even took\nMadara decades while actively producing the chakra through DNA infusion.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI have just answeared similar theme on different question, so basically yes,\nSarada and basically anyone can manifest rinnegan, here is the explaination:\n\nOkay, let me introduce my personal opinion on this: Otsutsuki have gained the\npower of charka, which made them manifest the origin chakra eye technique. But\nas the time went by, the technique was weaker and weaker and thus was actually\nso weak compared to the predecessor it became a new one, lets consider this\none a Rinnesharingan, but as we know, somewhere had to be the moment, which\nleaded to manifestation of the new technique, so if we would step back (merge\nthe pathes that did split) we would acquire the technique, so basically, any\neye, just a little bit related to the origin can be rinnegan and thus even\nNarutos current eye potentionaly could handle rinnegan, which it didnt.\nAnyway, any time you merge the pathes that have split, you will gain its\npredecessors power.\n\nEdit: As I have discussed with my friend, I want to notice Im not saying that\nyour surely will get the exact eye, this is still a new eye and a new\nevolution, so the eye will be different, but most likely the changes are gonna\nbe sooo unnoticable, that you can consider it a fully flaged predecessor\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFrom time to time non-native Japanese speakers are employed as voice actors in\nJapan, but it's very unusual. A more ambitious anime production might use\nnative speakers of other languages to voice minor roles whose only lines are\nnot in Japanese. It's even rarer for a recurring or major character whose\nlines are mostly in Japanese to be voiced by someone whose not native speaker,\neven though the character is supposed to be a foreigner.\n\nI think there are two main reasons for this, both from a \"supply\" and \"demand\"\nside of things. The first the Japanese public don't appear to be used to\nhearing their native language spoken in foreign accents as people in the\nUnited States and other western countries are. It not something they see in\nmovies and TV shows, and rarely in their daily lives. Even a slight to\nmoderate foreign accent, as you would expect from a foreigner in Japan, would\nbe off-putting and risk being incomprehensible in parts.\n\nThe second is that while there are unquestionably large numbers of native\nspeakers of foreign languages in Japan, very few would be willing to work for\nthe low wages voice actors get in Japan. There is an endless supply of native\nJapanese wannabe voice actors, with over 100 voice acting schools to train\nthem, all desperate to get jobs in the industry. By comparison, the supply of\nwould be foreign voice actors is all but non-existent. I know a number of\npeople who moved to Japan, got jobs and became fluent in Japanese but they'd\nall be taking massive pay cuts to work as voice actors. In most cases hiring a\nnative speaker of a foreign language would be much harder and probably more\nexpensive than hiring someone born in Japan would be.\n\nThere's a slight hope that things might change. The currently airing anime\nseries Sakura Quest has handled foreigners and foreign accents better than any\nanime I've seen (which admittedly isn't saying much). Their's a recurring\ncharacter from a foreign country that speaks Japanese with a foreign accent\nvoiced by an apparent foreigner (Vinary Murthy). In a couple of episodes there\nwere Spanish tourists who were apparently voiced by native Spanish speakers as\nthey spoke convincing Spanish and terrible Japanese. But I don't know if this\nis really a trend and I can't see the expectation of Japanese viewers that\nforeign characters speak fluent and accentless Japanese being changed so\neasily.\n\n",

A visual flare added as\nextra clarity for the viewers/readers, who are not yet that familiar with Nen\nand what all it can do. (Except for the 1999 anime. Even in the manga the\n\"electro-likeness\" of the effect is arguable, as it could be seen as more\ngeneral representations of \"energy\" or \"power\" or even a \"shock wave\".)\n\nI could go on about Wings nen-type, the likelyhood he'd learn transmutation\npowers, spesifics that would go to learning this spesific power, if Wing would\nbe skilled enough to do this and if he even wanted to. But I think there's a\nmore simple way to conclude that it's not actual electricity.\n\nApart from the visuals, _it doesn't actually act like electricity_ in any way,\nshape or form. \nThe paper hardenes, cuts clean through a can and embeds itself to a wall.\nNothing in the way it or the objects around it act indicates a presence of\nelectricity. (They don't exactly dismiss it either, but then again, what would\nbe the point of electricity, if it has no use.)\n\n",

When the artificial rain powder\nis used, the location where it is used gets more than average rain and nearby\nareas don't get any. Since by good faith we know the king wasn't using the\npowder or had any knowledge of it being used, could it be that Crocodile was\nusing it in the capital from some hidden location which resulted in such a\nphenomenon and after he stopped using it, say the 3 years that no rain\nhappened was the time natural weather was reconstructing itself and whether or\nnot Crocodile was defeated, it would have rained nonetheless??\n\nAnd secondly if Smoker had used artificial rain machine from a ship after the\nfight (couldn't figure out whether it was the case or not as he says when\nasked, he will never break the law but it is shown such a ship is there in the\nback) , how was he able to make rain the whole island??\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI think you are misunderstanding the premise of the situation. Naruto was not\na host of the other tailed beasts, he only had their chakra.\n\n[Naruto Uzumaki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Uzumaki)\n\n> Naruto had also received chakra from the other tailed beasts during the\n> Fourth Shinobi World War, which made him a human pillar for the power of Ten\n> Tails. This allowed him to access their unique abilities himself, or infuse\n> them into his Rasengan and its variants.\n\nAt the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto still has the chakra of the\n[Tailed Beasts](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tailed_Beast) within him\n\n> The tailed beasts spread out through the world, free to live as they want;\n> both Gyūki and Kurama decide to return and stay with B and Naruto. However,\n> though they are apart, the tailed beasts' chakra fragments remain within\n> Naruto, allowing his body to act as their \"meeting ground\"\n\nTo expand on your examples, the [Gold and Silver\nbrothers](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_and_Silver_Brothers) ate the flesh\nof the 9-tails and inherited large chakra reserves and similar abilities to\nthe tailed beasts. This become a part of their being, thus maintaining these\npowers when resurrected.\n\n> The brothers survived inside Kurama for two weeks by eating the beast's\n> flesh; this would eventually lead to the fox regurgitating them. This left\n> them with unusually large chakra-reserves and abilities similar to those of\n> a jinchūriki.\n\nAs @Akira Mahisaseru stated, [Gaara](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Gaara) did\nnot get his ability control sand by the 1-Tailed. Even the Fourth Kazekage\nwrongly assumed this\n\n> Gaara's ability to manipulate sand remains even after Shukaku is removed\n> from his body. Indeed, the Fourth Kazekage, upon seeing how much sand Gaara\n> can control at once, wrongly assumes it is Shukaku itself doing so, not\n> Gaara.\n\n",

Goku replicated this with SSB, and so it can drain\nlittle stamina to keep active. As Vegeta put in, he was \"fighting at a\nconstant 100% of his power\". He was able to fight on near equal footing with\nFused Zamasu for a while at least.\n\nVegeta had a different solution, one that I think addresses the question quite\nnicely, albeit indirectly. On the same page as the quote I just said from\nVegeta, he also noted \"the fact that its only able to output full power for a\nvery short time is blues greatest weakness\". Vegeta's solution to this was\ndisplayed a few chapters earlier. In chapter 22, around page 15, Vegeta\ntransformed into SSG, the Red form. He then revealed that that was his answer\nto the stamina problem. Red drains far less stamina than Blue, and so he used\nRed which he had mastered (He managed to contain the aura like Goku did for\nBlue), and then would transform into blue right as he attacked for an instant.\nHis attacks had all the power of Blue, but the stamina drain of Blue was only\nin effect for an instant at a time, so he could maintain his max power for\nlonger.\n\nSo, why is Goku using SSG, probably because its his most powerful form that\ndoesn't cut his power in half after a minute of use. He has not mastered Blue\nyet in the anime that we know of, but it is known that the Aura they release\nwhen transformed is a huge drain on stamina. Red just drains less than Blue.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**The answer to this would be yes and no!**\n\nIf Goku destroyed black when he followed Future Trunks, He wouldn't have been\nbrought back to life. However, since Future Zamasu in future trunks timeline\nhas a time ring, He could use it to go back to Goku's timeline and possibly\nreplicated what he did before, so in theory Goku black would still be alive\nbut it wouldn't be the same Goku Black.\n\n * When goku and Vegeta wen't to Future trunks's timeline and fought black, when Goku was injured and came back to the timeline, he wasn't automatically alright. So in other words, if goku had tied or had been destroyed by Black, he wouldn't have come back to his actual timeline.\n * When future trunks was killed by super perfect cell in the main timeline, they needed to use the dragon balls(of that timeline), to bring him back to life. Also future trunks uses the time machine to go back to his time line and only one of him exists. So in other words, an alternate of him wasn't created in that timeline.\n * Also, we know all the Kaioshin's have time rings, and it's something which is only owned by them. Future zamasu had killed all the Kaioshin's and had access to these time rings so irrespective of whether black was destroyed along with his time ring, he'd still be able to go to another time line.\n * We also know that when future trunks destroyed the super dragon balls in trunks's universe, it didn't affect the super dragon balls in the mian time line as the prize for the best warrior in the tournament of power, is the super dragon balls\n\n",

"body": "\n\nShort answer: the manga is one arc ahead of the anime.\n\nLong answer: Actually that's a little bit more complicated than \"the manga and\nthe anime are different\". They are actually mixed up and follow different\ntimelines. Also, there isn't one manga or one anime but actually two different\nmangas, a film and an anime entering his second arc. Let's get right into it :\n\nNote: all release dates are Japanese dates.\n\nThe story of Boruto starts **on August 4, 2015** with [Naruto Gaiden: The\nSeventh Hokage and the Scarlet\nSpring](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Gaiden:_The_Seventh_Hokage_and_the_Scarlet_Spring#Chapters),\nan independent book published in the Weekly Shōnen Jump. Along with this book,\na movie called [Boruto: Naruto the\nMovie](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Boruto:_Naruto_the_Movie) is released on\n**August 7, 2015.**\n\nThe character of Boruto is then added to the original manga on **October 6,\n2015** in the 700th and final chapter of Naruto, when he becomes Hokage. An\nOVA of two episodes called [The Day Naruto Became\nHokage](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/The_Day_Naruto_Became_Hokage_\\(OVA\\)) is\nalso released on **July 6, 2016**.\n\nThen, a whole new series called [Boruto: Naruto Next\nGenerations](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Boruto:_Naruto_Next_Generations)\nstarted on **May 9, 2016** for the manga and **April 5, 2017** for the anime.\n\nTo summarize, we have 1 short book, 1 chapter, 1 manga, 1 anime, 2 OAV\nepisodes and 1 film dedicated to Boruto. That's a lot, isn't it?\n\n**So what about the history?**\n\nTo follow the timeline, it starts with, of course, the _700th chapter of\nNaruto_ and the OAV \" _The Day Naruto Became Hokage_ \" which basically recount\nthe day when Naruto became Hokage and show us the Naruto's main characters'\nchildren.\n\nThen, we have the first arc (18 episodes) of \" _Boruto: Naruto Next\nGenerations_ \" the anime. Boruto and his friends are yet applicant ninjas at\nthe Ninja Academy. The anime emphasizes Boruto's journey **BEFORE** the Chūnin\nExam.\n\nThen, we have a special arc dedicated to Uchiha Family with the short book \"\n_Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring_ \" and the second\narc of \" _Boruto: Naruto Next Generations_ \" the anime.\n\nFinally, comes \" _Boruto: Naruto the Movie_ \" that takes place **DURING** the\nChūnin Exam and \" _Boruto: Naruto Next Generations_ \" the manga which recounts\nthe film's events but also emphasizes Boruto's life **AFTER** the Chūnin Exam.\n\nThat is a little complicated so I hope it was clear.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAlthough I agree with everything in [Nevios'\nanswer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/41883), from another lens, I would\nalso say that the manga and anime are different because the manga only comes\nout once per month and the anime would be ahead of the manga which is a no go\nbecause the manga is typically looked at as \"canon\" or \"the actual story line\"\nwhile animes have the luxury of having \"fillers\" or \"story lines separate\nfrom, and in some cases, alternative to the actual story itself.\n\nI believe the creators of Boruto made a brilliant decision to go back and fill\nin the gaps between Boruto starting his ninja journey and the Chunin Exam. By\ndoing so, they brought back some of the nostalgia of the Naruto series while\nalso allowing us to understand Boruto beyond what we saw in the movie which\nwas a character that was really bratty but redeemed himself at the end.\n\nThrough the anime, you get to see that Boruto has a strong moral compass and\nthat he isn't just looking for the easy way out. Conversely, unlike Naruto,\nBoruto has had everything he would have ever needed from jump. He doesn't know\nstruggle like Naruto or Sasuke did. It's a poetic commentary on our\ntechnological generation vs the generation before. Boruto has a mindset of\n\"why do things the hard way when I can get the same result with an easier\npath\" while his elders are trying to teach him that there is something very\nimportant about going through a process.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nHow Summoning normally works is that a clone of a Servant is made from the\nThrone of Heroes and this Clone, and their memories/experience/changes in\nnature (ie. corruption) are discarded so the original remains the same.\n\nwith Arturia's case she made her contract with the World before she died to\nobtain the Holy Grail in exchange to becoming a Heroic Spirit as such she's\nnot being summoned from the Throne of Heroes but from the moment before her\ndeath. When Saber's nature as a Servant is discovered the Visual Novel shows a\ncouple of images to explain how her contract works\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hijxG.jpg)[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/taRRH.jpg)\n\nthe first image shows how Saber will return to the point in time before her\ndeath after each attempt at getting the Grail. the second image is what will\nhappen when she completes her contract in which when she completes it she'll\nproceed to her death rather than before she died before then going to the\nThrone of Heroes.\n\nIn regards to her memories in Fate/Stay Night, regarding her memories of the\n4th War she does have them as on her Wikia page under her Role of Fate/Zero\n\n> With the Grail gone and unable to maintain her form, Saber is sent back to\n> the battlefield of Camlann, as she remembers the words of Lancelot and\n> Rider.\n\nSource: [Saber (Fate/Stay Night) - Role - Fate/Zero (Second Last\nparagraph)](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Saber_\\(Fate/stay_night\\)#Fate.2FZero)\n\nalso in the Heaven's Feel Route after their run in with Ilya and Beserker,\nShirou is confused as to [Ilya's hostility to\nhim](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/18467/1587). Saber contemplates as to\nwhether to explain this to Shirou but instead telling him to seek out Kotomine\ndespite wanting to have as little contact with him as possible due her own\npersonal dislike for her former Enemy Master. before Shirou enters the church\n(leaving Saber outside) she suggests not to reveal that she's been summoned\nagain.\n\nwhile is a different route which -Last Episode- wont occur one can speculate\nthat in the Fate Route she stayed outside for the same reason (even though at\nthis point it had yet to be revealed who she is) as such if she remember\nKotomine then she remember's Lancelot's and Rider's words. but ofcause as\napart of her \"dream\" it wouldn't be a fond part as it involved Kiritsugu\nforcing her to destroy the Grail with his remaining Command Spells\n\nAs for what other memories she would have in -Last Episode- we can assume that\nit's only what she would remember by the end of the Fate Route (including her\nprevious attempts) as since in the Fate Route her contract is terminated due\nto it being her choice to destroy the manifested Holy Grail and accepting her\nappointment as King any further attempts would not be known to her.\n\nHowever because the Nasuverse is a huge multiverse with alternate timelines\nwhich is all connected via the use of [The Second\nMagic](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Magic) the ending of the Fate\nRoute would create it's own timeline, as such the ending of the other Routes\nwould create their own timelines including:\n\n> \\- One where her her corruption in Heaven's Feel is carried to future\n> attempts at the Grail \n> \\- One where she lives a full ~~shoujo ai/yuri~~ life with Rin after the\n> Good Ending of Unlimited Blade Works \n> \\- One where she continues going for the Grail after the True end of\n> Unlimited Blade Works (as it was not the complete Grail that was summoned) \n> \\- One unknown ending of Fate/Stay Night which leads to Fate/Hollow\n> Ataraxia in which she was corrupted yet the Greater Grail wasn't shut\n> down/destroyed by Shirou or Ilya\n\nsince the Throne of Heroes is disconnected from the rest of the universe\nallowing the summoning of \"heroes\" from other timelines (Archer in Fate/Stay\nNight is the perfect example) there is a high probability that an Arturia\nwould end up there. however since she would have memories of previous Holy\nGrail Wars/Attempts probably the only way to tell you have summoned Arturia\nherself or a clone is to ask if she ever got a Holy Grail before.\n\n* * *\n\nas a final note, since Fate/Labyrinth was made well after Fate/Stay Night and\nwithout knowing when in Arturia's own timeline she would have shown up there\n(ie. would she have remembered Waver from the 4th War as Waver would remember\nher?) i would speculate that in the Fate Route she wouldn't have any memories\nof the events in Fate/Labyrinth.\n\n",

Mulan had to disguise herself as a man to sneak\n> into the Chinese army.\n> * Despite Monty stating that real-world countries don't exist in RWBY, Ren\n> is still based on Chinese culture as his clothing is reminiscent of\n> traditional Chinese clothing and his habit of resting a coffee mug on his\n> palm instead of holding it by its handle, a style seen more often in Eastern\n> cultures, as Eastern-style mugs have no handles.\n>\n\nAccording to [Wikipedia on _Chinese\nname_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_name), the name order is surname\n- given name.\n\n> Modern Chinese names consist of a surname [...] which comes first [...],\n> followed by a personal name [...].\n\nAlso, [Wikipedia on _Given\nname_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Given_name#Name_order) states the\ndifferent order between Western order and Eastern order.\n\n> The order _given name – family name_ , commonly known as the _Western order_\n> , is used throughout most European countries and in countries that have\n> cultures predominantly influenced by Western Europe (North and South\n> America, North, East, Central and West India, Australia, New Zealand and the\n> Philippines).\n>\n> The order _family name – given name_ , commonly known as the _Eastern order_\n> , is primarily used in East Asia (for example in China, Japan, Korea,\n> Malaysian Chinese, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam), as well as in Southern\n> and North-Eastern parts of India, but also in Hungary. [...].\n\nSo, if his name is written in first-last name order, it will be **R** en Lie.\n\n* * *\n\nUnfortunately, it's not that simple, because a new question will arise:\n\n> Why is Yang Xiao Long's initial Y instead of X then?\n\nLogically, I admit it's hard to counter this counter-argument. Its [Wikia\narticle](http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Yang_Xiao_Long#Trivia) also mentions a\ntrivia on her name:\n\n> Despite having a Chinese name, Yang's given name and surname are inverted.\n> \"Yang\" would be the surname and her given name would be \"Xiao Long\".\n> Furthermore, Chinese surnames are usually only one character. This can be\n> explained by Remnant not following real-world customs.\n\nOne can argue that because her family is not fully a Chinese family (hint: her\nmother), that her name might _not_ be in the Eastern order, but instead\nfollows the Western order.\n\n",

The actual intended\nmeaning of Kisame's line is, [\"Though this is the third time I'm facing\nyou...\"](https://www.narutoforums.org/posts/36922634/) (It literally\ntranslates to something like \"For me, it's the third time,\" but the intended\nmeaning is clearer in context.)\n\nThe three times they fight:\n\n 1. [When Itachi and Kisame show up to first try to kidnap Naruto](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kisame_Hoshigaki#Search_for_Tsunade):\n\n> Kisame accompanied Itachi to Konoha to help kidnap Naruto Uzumaki. After the\n> two gained attention due to their unusual clothing, they were stopped by\n> Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi. Asuma and Kurenai found themselves\n> outmatched, but Kakashi arrived to help balance the odds. Asuma was able to\n> distract Kisame while Itachi fought Kakashi. He waited patiently for\n> Itachi's fight to finish, but before Itachi delivered the final blow,\n> Kakashi remembered Jiraiya's warning and recognised the duo as members of\n> Akatsuki from their black cloaks. Itachi changed his mind and ordered Kisame\n> to kidnap Kakashi and kill Asuma and Kurenai. Before he could do so,\n> however, Might Guy showed up and kicked an attacking Kisame in the face.\n> Following Guy's arrival, Itachi ordered Kisame to retreat, not wanting to\n> start a large-scale battle. Kisame seemed quite annoyed with Itachi's idea,\n> as he desperately wanted to fight the Konoha shinobi.\n\n 2. [While Akatsuki is extracting Shukaku (the One-Tailed Beast) from Gaara's body](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kisame_Hoshigaki#Kazekage_Rescue_Mission):\n\n> While Akatsuki extracted the One-Tailed Shukaku from Gaara's body, they\n> learned that Team Guy was nearing their location. Remembering his last\n> encounter with Guy, Kisame volunteered to keep them occupied while the\n> sealing was completed. Nagato used the Shapeshifting Technique to make a\n> duplicate of Kisame's body that would be remotely controlled by Kisame. The\n> clone located and confronted Team Guy, but was disappointed that Guy didn't\n> remember him. He converts the surrounding desert into a lake to give him a\n> battlefield advantage and attacks Team Guy. After numerous attempts Team Guy\n> made attacking Kisame, Guy managed to separate him from Samehada, leading to\n> the rest of his team launching an assault. Kisame swiftly made water clones\n> to block their attacks and immediately used the Water Prison Technique to\n> imprison them. \n> \n> Guy then attempted to attack Kisame with his own sword but Samehada\n> intervened and returned to its owner. Now that it was a one on one fight,\n> Kisame directed all his attention towards Guy leading him to use his\n> nunchaku. After exchanging blows with each other, Kisame overpowered Guy,\n> launching him to the bottom of the newly formed lake. Seeing that he had the\n> geographical advantage, Kisame repeatedly attacked Guy until he was forced\n> to open the sixth gate. Doing so, Guy forced away the surrounding water and\n> immediately attacked Kisame, sending him flying into the air, giving an\n> opportunity for him to use his Morning Peacock technique to end the fight,\n> resulting in Kisame's clone being killed. Afterwards Kisame voiced his\n> regret to Itachi that their clones only had 30% of their chakra and thus\n> were not as powerful as their actual selves. Ultimately, however, the two\n> accomplished their task of delaying the two teams long enough for the rest\n> of the Akatsuki to extract Shukaku from Gaara.\n\n 3. The third time, of course, is the scene you're talking about. Kisame pretends to have been defeated by Killer B, and hides inside his sword Samehada (which Killer B takes as his own) to infiltrate the Hidden Cloud Village (Kumogakure), but [he is discovered](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kisame_Hoshigaki#Fourth_Shinobi_World_War:_Countdown):\n\n> To protect them from Akatsuki, B and Naruto Uzumaki were sent to the island\n> in the Land of Lightning. After B helped Naruto to tame the Nine-Tails,\n> Naruto was able to sense Kisame's hatred within Samehada, despite his and\n> Samehada's identical chakra. Discovered and outnumbered, Kisame took\n> Samehada and tried to escape, but Naruto used the new speed granted to him\n> by the Nine-Tails to stop him. Naruto was so fast, in fact, that his foot\n> got stuck in a wall, allowing Kisame to continue his bid for freedom. As\n> soon as he exited the Falls of Truth he ran into and was attacked by Might\n> Guy, who believed Kisame was his inner self. Although Guy realised Kisame\n> was not his inner self, he still didn't remember him, instead believing him\n> to be a blowfish. Samehada abandoned Kisame and returned to Killer B. Kisame\n> stole some chakra from the both of them to revitalise him after being within\n> Samehada for so long. Aoba Yamashiro tried to neutralise him with Secret\n> Technique: Stone Needles, but this only enabled Kisame to absorb his chakra\n> as well. \n> \n> Kisame then swam away and tried to make it off the island, and when he\n> reached the shoreline, Kisame summoned a shark and gave it a scroll filled\n> with the information he had gathered. Guy tracked him down and, seeing what\n> Kisame was doing, tried to stop the shark. Kisame then used Water Release: A\n> Thousand Feeding Sharks to conceal it and overwhelm Guy. When Guy's Morning\n> Peacock couldn't destroy all of the sharks, he opened the seventh chakra\n> gate, blocking the sharks' route. To get rid of Guy, Kisame used Water\n> Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique, and Guy countered with his Daytime\n> Tiger. Although the Great Shark Bullet grows stronger when used against\n> chakra-based attacks, Daytime Tiger was composed of \"youthful\" air pressure.\n> It overpowered and defeated Kisame, as well as destroyed all of the\n> remaining sharks. Though defeated, Kisame was annoyed that Guy still could\n> not remember him and tried to continue fighting, but was knocked unconscious\n> by Guy. \n> \n> After returning to the island, Yamato restrained Kisame to allow Aoba to\n> read his mind in order to gather intelligence on Akatsuki. When Aoba came\n> across memories of Tobi's face and his promises of ending the \"world of\n> lies\", Kisame bit his own tongue to force himself awake and broke free of\n> his restraints. The Kumo and Konoha-nin tried to subdue him, but Kisame\n> trapped himself with the Water Prison Technique. Before he was completely\n> immobilised, he summoned three sharks and allowed them to devour him. Within\n> his final moments he remembered his first meeting with Itachi and realised\n> that he was not as terrible as he once thought, as he was willing to give\n> his life to protect the cause he believed in and died with a smile on his\n> face. This act of conviction caused Guy to gain new respect for his\n> adversary and vowed to always remember him. He and the others then attempted\n> to read the scroll that Kisame tried so hard to send, but found that it was\n> booby-trapped; they were each caught in a Water Prison with a shark. Another\n> shark took the scroll and swam away with it, which eventually found its way\n> to Zetsu.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nOf the things that I've done when attending conventions:\n\n 1. **Cosplay doesn't mean consent.** I realize that's more catch-termy than anything else, but it translates to something very simple; just because someone's dressed up for the event doesn't mean that they want or have to take a picture with you. Some conventions even have specific areas for this to take place; should you want to get a picture anyway, see if they're going to make their way to that area and arrange a time to meet with them there instead.\n\n 2. **Be mindful of where you are on the convention floor, and avoid stopping in the middle of it.** This is especially true of larger conventions, but if you stop in the middle of the floor to look at a particular artist or particular thing, you run the risk of someone running into or tripping over you, which would be an undesirable experience for everyone involved. It's good to have a healthy interest in the stuff around you, but please be sure to pull off to the side and look at it, instead of stopping right in the middle of ped traffic.\n\n 3. **Don't be a jerk.** Artists, actors, mangaka and creators alike are all people, and should be treated with some level of respect and courtesy. Don't get upset if the thing you want is sold out, and don't decide to pitch a fit right in the middle of the shops because you felt like their prices are too high. Most importantly, if you're meeting them in person, please don't act any other way than with how you'd want someone to act if you met them in person. This means, you can't complain about how long it took for them to get there to meet you, and you can't make unreasonable demands of them just because you're a paying customer.\n\n 4. **If you're ever confused, read the site/ask information.** The site usually posts what's acceptable months in advance for cosplayers, and what they expect of guests, so it's important to be peruse this listing. Additionally, this can provide guidelines/rules for expected con behavior, which has to be observed for everyone to be safe. Failure to do so can and often will result in you being moved to the back of the line or removed from the convention floor.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe etiquette shouldn't differ much, if at all, between cons. But here's just\na short checklist for you.\n\nBe sure to respect the rules. Most conventions have a set of rules on their\nwebsites, more often even several. Take for example the dutch animecon which\nhas [general house rules](http://www.animecon.nl/rules/house-rules-huisregels)\nand [recording/photography rules](http://www.animecon.nl/rules/photography-\nvideo-rules). Most of these are updated every year, so be sure to re-read them\nbefore you visit again.\n\nSome special events, such as concerts might also feature a special subset of\nrules. These often can be found on the events website, or will be told at the\nbeginning of such a show.\n\nBesides those, there are some good practices:\n\n * **Don't take pictures of cosplayers without asking.**\n\nThey try hard to look and act like their character, and often have special\nposes which make their characters look better/more appealing. Taking pictures\nwithout asking could annoy and sometimes even anger them. So be sure to ask\nthem if it is OK first!\n\n * **If handed[props](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatrical_property), be gentle.**\n\nIn some occasions, for example if you asked, you might be handed props to\nfeel. Those props may look like sturdy broad swords, but are often not made to\nbe swung around. Be gentle and careful, they put a lot of time in those things\n\n * **Free hug signs don't equal free grope signs.**\n\nOften you will see guys and girls alike walk around with a \"free hug sign\".\nWhen hugging said people, keep your hands level. No butt squeezes, no groping.\n(Yes, these things actually happen.) Also be sure to show your intention to\nhug them! Hugging them without them expecting it could end painfully for you.\n\n * **Don't randomly hug, grab, or touch people.**\n\nAlthough this is often considered normal practice, at cons this somehow seems\nto be forgotten quite often. Just don't do it; keep it fun for everybody.\n\n * **Don't be too pushy.**\n\nIf people tell you to back off, back off. You may be very enthusiastic and\nhappy, but some people might not like such behavior. And if they tell you so,\njust stop.\n\n * **Unsure? Ask first!**\n\nIf for whatever reason you are uncertain about rules or behaviour, you can\nalways ask the convention grounds about it through an email. Or once on-site\nyou can always ask the staff/gofers of said con.\n\nBesides that, you are free to enjoy the conventions as you wish. No need for\npoker faces, but being too excited can be a bother to people as well. Just try\nto maintain some common sense throughout all the excitement.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn episode 6 of _The Irresponsible Galaxy Tylor_ , a narrator tells the story\nof Justy Ueki Tylor. He begins by describing the events of _The Irresponsible\nCaptain Tylor_ , before stating:\n\n> […] He returned Goza XV to Raalgon, and brough about a temporary peace.\n>\n> However … Ceasefires are easily broken. Tylor and Ru Baraba Dom had a battle\n> for control of the galaxy. Tylor won the battle completely, but the Grand\n> Duchy of Ashuran conquered the galaxy. Raalgon and the United Planets put\n> together a joint front, and in the final battle with Ashura, used their\n> ultimate weapon, Suou to win, and bring about eternal piece. Tyler [sic]\n> became president of the Raalgon Republic!\n>\n> Tylor declared war on the United Planets, and had a final battle with Makoto\n> Yamamoto. Tylor won, uniting the galaxy, and became the pan-galactic\n> emperor! Ensured by Tylor's success, the Pan-Galactic Empire flourished. But\n> now, humanity is in its twilight on the sidereal mega-structure.\n\n[Text taken from the current version of the Crunchyroll subtitles. There may\nbe mistakes: I hear what appears to be ゴザ十六世 in the audio, rather than ゴザ十五世.\nThe narrator is also clearly referring to Azalyn, who is Goza XVI. Paragraph\nbreaks are my own.]\n\nDid the events described here actually happen in the _Irresponsible Captain\nTylor_ franchise, or was this all something that the narrator made up (or\nalternatively, something that was made-up for this spin-off)? Such events do\nnot seem to happen in the OVA, and I also cannot find any reference to a\nconfrontation with Ru Baraba Dom on [his wiki\npage](http://tylor.wikia.com/wiki/Ru_Baraba_Dom). But it seems possible that\nthere may be light novel content that non-Japanese fans may be unaware of.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nTo start, you're not really going to see full-frontal nudity in anime. If you\nlook at [this question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/4940/what-\nare-the-anime-censorship-laws-in-japan), you can read about censorship laws in\nJapan and about how--through self-censorship as much as through legal\nrestrictions--genitalia and public hair aren't generally shown even in\npornography.\n\nThere's a fairly vague rule called the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding\nthe Healthy Development of Youths that is used to restrict access to \"harmful\nmaterial\" to people under the age of 18. The relevant part is in a change\ncalled Bill 156 which was passed in 2010. From the [Wikipedia\narticle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Ordinance_Regarding_the_Healthy_Development_of_Youths):\n\n> After the original bill's defeat, Tokyo governor Shintarō Ishihara announced\n> his intent to submit a new revision later in the year. This revision,\n> informally referred to as Bill 156, was submitted by the government in\n> November 2010. It removed the controversial \"non-existent youth\" term but\n> still proposed a number of significant changes to the law:\n>\n> * The Metropolitan government is given the authority to propose controls\n> on internet access for children of different ages, although it is required\n> to consult with the telecommunications industry, parents' representatives\n> and educators.\n> * **The definition of harmful material is expanded to include \"any manga,\n> animation, or pictures (but not including real life pictures or footage)\n> that features either sexual or pseudo sexual acts that would be illegal in\n> real life, or sexual or pseudo sexual acts between close relatives whose\n> marriage would be illegal, where such depictions and / or presentations\n> unjustifiably glorify or exaggerate the activity.\"**\n> * Any publisher who has more than six works declared harmful under the new\n> criteria in a 12-month period can be referred to the relevant industry self-\n> regulation body. If the publisher breaches the criteria again within the\n> next six months, the Governor can publicly identify the offender and comment\n> on the reasons for declaring their work in breach.\n> * **The Metropolitan government is authorized to \"encourage the\n> establishment of an environment where child pornography could be eliminated\n> and prevent its creation.\" The bill specifically mentions \"any sexually\n> arousing posing on the behalf of children under the age of 13 wholly or\n> partially naked, or wearing swimwear or only underwear, published in books\n> or featured in film,\" although as with its other provisions this only\n> applies to drawings and animation, not to photography or film of real\n> children.** (Emphasis mine)\n>\n\nHowever, unlike in a number of other cultures, there is no particular\nreligious or moral opposition to sexuality as a whole. From\n[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_in_Japan#Censorship_laws):\n\n> The gods and goddesses of Shinto are not repositories of morality or\n> perfection; instead, they exist within nature and thus, sexuality is an\n> innate part of life itself. Therefore, religious attitudes are no obstacle\n> to the presence of pornographic material in Japan's secular society, nor is\n> pornography blasphemous in any way, not even when it depicts religious\n> persons (mostly shrine maidens) or mythological beings.\n\nNudity, sexual implications, and similar things tend to be used as [fan\nservice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_service) in anime. [Debbi\nGardner](http://www.japaninc.com/article.php?articleID=972) cites this as a\ncultural difference in comparison to places like America. While sexual or at\nleast sexualized content may be considered inappropriate in the US--likely due\nto the much more puritanical Christian-based morality system--it isn't, at\nleast not to the same degree in Japan.\n\n",

First we should note that it wasn't\nOrochimaru's body that touched Naruto, but his snake.

We both Know that all the Deva\npaths of Pain had been defeated before Naruto entered the tailed beast\nversions (So Nagato could use the abilities of all the other 6 paths) . Due to\nthat, Nagato was able to focus more on his fight with Naruto and when Naruto\nheld his head, he probably absorbed some of the chakra using the absorption\npath of the rinnengan.\n\nAnother reason could be because of the exact state of the tailed beast chakra.\nWhen Naruto was fighting Orochimaru, he was in the 4 tailed chakra cloak but\nwhile he was fighting Pain, he started at the 5 tails and past that point, the\nchakra is cloaked in skeleton and skin. it could be that past the 5 tails, the\nchakra becomes more coated and the person gets closer to appearing like the\nactual Jinchuuriki. So Pain Probably didn't get in contact with as much pure\nchakra as Orochimaru did.\n\nHope that helped in a way.\n\n",

Which in Western cultures, is\noften perceived to be derivatives of existing work, or analogous to fan\nfiction. Which is often true, as works are based upon popular\ngames/manga/anime, but is not limited to. As there also exists original works\nwithin the Doujin.\n\n**A Doujinshi**\n\nThe term [Doujinshi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Djinshi) stands for\nself published work. It is often considered a broader category of Doujin, as\nit covers Anime, hentai, games but also art collections. Where as other sub\ncategories of Doujin, such as Doujin music/soft/game/H cover far more specific\nareas.\n\n**Doujinshika / Doujinka**\n\nBoth these terms stand for creators of Doujin. These terms are often used\ninterchangeably in both english and Japanese a like.\n\nThe usage of Doujinshika is said to be so limited that is often even\nconsidered to be incorrect. So the generally preferred term is Doujinka\n\nDoujinka often reffer to themselves as sākuru or in case of single artist\nkojin sākuru. Which in place, reffers to the original meaning of Doujin,\n\n_a group of people that stand to achieve something, or share the same\ninterests/hobbies._\n\n## So are these terms limited to Anime and Manga?\n\nWell, no. These terms strike a larger category than just A&M and it's related\ncontents, and could be used out of it's context all together.\n\nHowever, they are so often used in context of A&M and it's related works, that\nespecially in Western Cultures they will be considered A&M related.\n\n",

The gear is very reliable and you won't loose it\neven while doing crazy acrobatics in mid of an air. He also has his jacket. He\ntransforms and he still has his jacket.\n\nWe see him in human form when he emerge from his titan body - He doesnt have a\njacket or gear with him. This shouldnt be a case, since in season 3 Eren\nemerges from his titan body still with a gear. Like you mentioned, other titan\nshifters also keep their gears (Reinar, Annie, Bertholdt).\n\nSo I checked the manga and it's the same thing - Eren is missing his gear and\njacket after emerging although he transformed wearing it. I don't think\nthere's a reason to that - it seems ity's just an incositancy carried from\nmanga to the anime.\n\nThere's no reason to assume it was damaged inside the Santa's belly or after\nEren's transformation - since it's never happened again Also someone was\nsuggesting the gear melted inside the belly... well, we see bodies inside the\nbelly none are damaged by temperature, so it wasnt hot enaugh for gear to\nmelt. Also like i mantioned, the gear is super solid, it can't just break, it\nhas too sustain a lot of pressure during the acrobatics - so i dont think eren\nwould just loose it.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThough this question has an accepted answer, I don't think it entirely answers\nthe question as titled. We have covered why Bradley doesn't kill them but\nthat's not the main question. Why did he allow them to continue their\ninvestigation? He didn't need to kill them to stop them from investigating. So\nwhy didn't he pressure them, took them captive or do similar things?\n\nWell, the answer is: He did. He warned them about the danger these\ninvestigations pose to them, we see him dropping by several times, casually\nchatting with Winry, he meets Mustang with the Officers, ... Almost every time\nwe see him, he at least implicitly threatens our protagonists. As Mustang\ncontinues his investigation, he becomes more direct and has Mustangs people\ntransferred and Hawkeye as some kind of hostage. He even imprisons doctor\nMarco.\n\nKeep in mind that we are talking about Wrath, who would like to kill every one\nof them just for the sake of doing so. He tempers himself at all time so it is\nhard for him to decide what the right amount of action/force is. He starts off\nwith warnings and puts them under surveillance so he could have them killed\nwhen they found out too much (RIP Hughes), then he threatens them and reduces\ntheir options. He can't kill most of them so he does everything he can (except\nincarcerate them, but that would be super inconvenient for the plot) to make\nsure they wouldn't find out too much.\n\nHis only other option would have been a big bluff doubling downing on the\nstory that he was trying to uncover the conspiracy and urging them to either\nwork directly under him (have them under control) or to drop the investigation\nbecause it is too dangerous since it reached up to right under himself.\n\n[Edit:] Another reason to neither kill nor incarcerate them is the fact that\nhe still is a military leader in a time of open conflict with several\nneighbors. As hinted at in the series, after Scar killed quite some State\nAlchemists, the strength of the military is considerably weakened. Losing\nthree more state alchemists and a living armor that would fight at Ed's side\nanyway does not appear to be a wise decision. Father doesn't want to waste his\nresources to defend the country so Bradley has to maintain the military's\nstrength. And purposefully weakening the military at a time like this would\nappear odd to anyone else even if no one else could pose a thread, more people\ninvestigating would be an inconveniance.\n\n[Edit2:] From Episode 30 on, neither Mustang nor the Elric Brothes conduct any\ninvestigation (or act against Father in any other way) that is visible to\nBradley. After thier next visible steps, they become outcasts and deserters.\n\n",

He could easily add more worry to\nAsuna's parents that there could be possible brain damage because of how the\nNervGear works.\n\nAnd up until this point there was no indication that the NervGear still\nwouldn't fry her brain if removed. Clearing SAO only allowed (if not by force)\nplayers to log out. While yes, Kirito did die in ALO, this can be argued that\nKirito didn't technically die, as his Remain Light was still there and was\nresurrected by Leafa. One can compare this as being the same as one using the\nDivine Stone of Returning Soul (resurrect item Kirito got hoping to revive\nSachi) while in the Death Game, just with a much longer timer (in ALO it was\n10 minutes).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe reason they didn't remove Asuna's NervGear is because it would still fry\nher brain. In the beginning of the anime, Kayaba explained that the NervGear\nwill create an electrical shock if it is removed while in use. When SAO was\nbeat, the players were able to log out of the system. If instead of logging\nout, the players had their NervGear removed while in use, they would die.\nAsuna was one of the few that couldn't log out because she was trapped in ALO.\nIf you watch the ALO arc, there is a scene where Asuna tries to log out using\nthe administration console. If she was successful, she would have been able to\nremove the NervGear without a problem.\n\nThat being said, there was still the case where dying in SAO caused the player\nto actually die in the game. This was caused by the game itself having that in\nits program. Proof of this is in Kirito's death within ALO. He still had the\nNervGear on, but he didn't actually die. In this case, he could die all he\nwanted in-game as long as no one removed his NervGear.\n\nTo sum it up, removing the NervGear while still in use would kill the user.\nThe issue with dying in-game was just a SAO specific program. With the\ncreation of ALO, the dying-in-real-life program was removed. Along with ALO\ncame the AmuSphere, a safer alternative to the NervGear. The AmuSphere was\ndesigned to eliminate the die-when-removed risk. That's why you don't die if\nyou have the AmuSphere removed during gameplay. So, basically, AmuSphere and\nALO are safe, but the NervGear and SAO are programed to kill you.\n\n",

In\nits [List of original programs distributed by\nNetflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_Netflix#Exclusive_international_television_distribution)\nWikipedia lists Little Witch Academia in the \"Acquisition\" section as an\n\"Exclusive international television distribution\". It gives the following\ndescription of these types of shows:\n\n> These television shows, even though Netflix lists them as Netflix originals,\n> are shows that have been aired in different countries, and Netflix has\n> bought exclusive distribution rights to stream them in other various\n> countries. They may be available on Netflix in their home territory and\n> other markets where Netflix does not have the first run license, without the\n> Netflix Original label, some time after their first-run airing on their\n> original broadcaster.\n\nSo in the US, for example, Little Witch Academia is a Netflix original, while\nin Japan it would just be another old TV show in its catalogue. It can happen\nthe other way too, where a show originally broadcast in the US by different\nbroadcaster becomes a Netflix original when shown by Netflix outside of the\nUS.\n\n",
