Mysteries

[resurie]

I thought this would be fun. XD It's simple. Just list mysteries of any anime you like. When I say mysteries, I mean things like unanswered questions. It can be serious if you want, or it can be for fun! XD Mine are purely for comedic purposes. XD Thus, they're pretty dumb...^^;;

Shaman King

- Where the hell is Keiko?!

- Where did Hao get his outfit? His pants especially?!

- Are the SK characters anorexic? Or perhaps, bulimic? I mean, look how skinny they are!!

- How can Anna be so skinny if all she does is lay around eating those cracker things and watching soap operas? (I say she IS bulimic T_T)

- Who took care of Hao when he was a baby? The SOF? o_0

- What's that blue thing on Hao's leg we see when the SOF is holding him when he's a baby? (There's a blue thing!! I swear!!)

- Why did the animators create Ashil if he didn't get any more screen time?

- Why didn't Yoh or others ever hit Lyserg for whining so much?! ><

- If Ren drinks so much milk, why is he the shortest??

- How can Ren change his pants so quickly? One minute they're those yellow ones, then he just takes his coat off and they're those black ones. o_0?!

- Where does Chocolove keep all his props for his visual jokes?

(I can't think of any more. XD See if you guys can think of more...)


Saber Marionette (J, J Again, and J to X)

- Why are Hanagata and his brother (I forgot his name XD) the only blonde guys in Japoness?

- If they are indeed marionettes, and even though they do have emotions, how can they eat? I mean...where does the food GO?! o_0?!

- Is the SM Faust related to the SK Faust? XD Nah...

- What ever happened to Lime's squirrel?!

- Why are Otaru's marionettes named after fruit? o_0

- If Baiko and Tama...um...that other guardian marionette with the grey hair don't have Virgin Circuits, how come they act like they DO have emotions? o_0

- Where does the elephant for Lime's trick come from?! Her pocket?!

(Gah..can't think of any more...)


Cyberteam in Akihabara

- Why do the girls always fall for the same trick?! Weird funky monsters tricking them to go somewhere...they fall for it every time!!

- Why does the transformation sequence have to be so...detailed?! >< Gah~

- Why does Suzume speak in such highly formal Japanese, yet isn't really formal herself?

- And why does Suzume always go "Chu Chu~!" (or something like that...)

- Why do the girls' last names have to be so ridiculously long?! ><


Card Captor Sakura

- Why is Sakura afraid of ghosts...but not the Clow Cards?

- Why is Tomoyo so damn perfect?!

- Hasn't Syaoran ever heard of this neat thing that's called a brush?

- How can Yukito be so skinny when he eats so damn much?! (He's must be bulimic too!)

- What ever happened to the present Sakura left by her mother's picture? o_0

- Hoe? Where did that come from? o_0 And "Hanyaan~"?? (I think I spelled that wrong...XD)


FLCL

- EPISODE 4!!! ><!!!

*cough* sorry...XD


Hoshin Engi (man...I haven't seen this show in ages...)

- If the place is set in feudal China...(I think...o_0) Where did Taikoubou and Supuu get those blow dryers from?? (Gah, I think I spelled their names wrong. XD)


That's all I can think of...sorry if I put an anime no one knows about. XD!

[Lobsterdeth]

They explained the Yukito thing in the anime.

[Lovely]

I know it's just for fun, but I have answers!



- Where the hell is Keiko?!

O.k... well, not to this one ^_^; . I can't wait till we get to her in the manga because I know absolutely NOTHING about her. (for those wondering, she's Yoh's mom.)


- Are the SK characters anorexic? Or perhaps, bulimic? I mean, look how skinny they are!!
Well... most of them excercise a lot. That, and the lanky style of chracter design is fun ^_^ ! (see-- One Peice, Shaman King, xxxHolic)

- How can Anna be so skinny if all she does is lay around eating those cracker things and watching soap operas? (I say she IS bulimic T_T)
I don't think those crackers are very fatening.


- Why did the animators create Ashil if he didn't get any more screen time?
Filler. I also suspect that they just wanted to make a character who they could throw a lot of facial expressions into ^o^ .



- If Ren drinks so much milk, why is he the shortest??
He should up his favorite number to 4?

- How can Ren change his pants so quickly? One minute they're those yellow ones, then he just takes his coat off and they're those black ones. o_0?!
Not really an answer but... I always thought it was so funny when he rips off his coat suddenly XD .


The ones for Sakura are actually real answers ^__^ .

Card Captor Sakura

- Why is Sakura afraid of ghosts...but not the Clow Cards?
She can SEE the Clow cards, she can't see ghosts. It's very much a fear of the unknown for her. She can also sense the "evil" feelings that some ghosts have, so it tends to freak her out that she can't do anything about them. Whereas she CAN deal with Clow cards is she puts her mind to it.



- How can Yukito be so skinny when he eats so damn much?! (He's must be bulimic too!)

Yeah, this was explained in the manga... erm, if you wish to be spoiled just post and I'll spoiler mark the answer ^_^ .


- Hoe? Where did that come from? o_0 And "Hanyaan~"?? (I think I spelled that wrong...XD)
Eh, it's just a common thing for the girl heroin to make up "cute" words to say . "Hoe" is probably derived from "e" though. Fun fact: Lovely herself is known to say "Hoe" fairly frequently in real life ^_^; . I was REALLY into CCS back in the day and it sort of stuck ^_^;;;.



... There is no explanation for the Housin Engin hair dryer thing. The author just wanted to be goofy ^o^ . But heck, lets just say they had them because... um, the were imortals, yeah...

[resurie]

XD Nice answers. No need to explain the Yukito thing, I know exactly why he eats so much. XD I was just being silly. All my 'mysteries' weren't meant to be serious. XD I mostly listed all the things I say to myself while watching these anime...XD Oh! I two more for Hoshin Engi, and I think I spelled the name right this time XD:

- How is it possible for Taikobou to get high off...peaches?

- Does China have Hippos? o_0 If not...why do people constantly call Supuu a hippo?

Man, that was lame...XD

[Takato]

- Why is Tomoyo so damn perfect?!

Contrary to popular belief, Tomoyo does have one power...."the power of observation." ^^

- Hasn't Syaoran ever heard of this neat thing that's called a brush?

And hasn't Yue ever heard of a thing called the barber? I know this isn't really an answer to this question, but still, why does Yukito have such short hair while Yue has ridicilously long hair?

- What ever happened to the present Sakura left by her mother's picture? o_0

I assume this must be a yearly tradition for Sakura, so perhaps her father keeps a collection of these presents for Nadeshiko somewhere?

- Hoe? Where did that come from? o_0 And "Hanyaan~"?? (I think I spelled that wrong...XD)

I don't know about "hoe", but I think "hanyan" might come from some Chinese word. In the episode, "Sakura's Most Precious Friend", Meilin tells Sakura that she's so "hanyanyan" or something like that (I'm not exactly sure what Meilin said because the subtitles transalated it as being "spacy"). Sakura is confused by what it means and thinks it sounds like something very light, and Meilin asks something like "What was the Japanese word for it?"

[Magenta]

I always like reading these things but I can never think of any good ones, currently the only one I can think of for Shaman King is what the heck is that blue thingy on Faust's chest and why is it there? That ones been bugging me for ages.

Another one my friend brought up is if the the main characters of SK are all from different countries how come they all speak the same language? I know it's so we can understand them all but still.

[Elba-cakes *coughs*]

;D Chocolove keeps his props in the same place as Ren keeps his weapon .

[Hana]

I may have missed this at the end of the anime of Shaman King (cuz the translations on my DVD's suckT-T) but I always wondered this:
*
if they decided to simply end the shaman tournament at the end of shaman king, and thus no shaman king is crowned, what's going to happen? Isn't the shaman king supposed to stop the "upcoming calamity" that comes every 500 years whose arrival is signaled by the Rahu and Ketu stars? The cycle of shaman kings every 500 years was suddenly stopped, so isn't the world supposed to plunge into calamity?
*

[Jr.]

spoilers*

At the end of the epilouge Yoh's oracle bell rings probably signifying the sart of the next round of the tournament. The series ends, but the tournament doesn't!! At least that is what I believe!

[Hana]

*hmm, interesting. i thought that oracle bell ringing was just a little gag: a nice ribbon to tie the series together. I didn't really think much of it.

so, you're saying that even though everyone had gone home, Ryu continued searching for his happy place, Horo Horo and Pilika cultivated a Butterbur field, Lyserg was studying, Chocolove doin the comedy acts in NY, Ren having dinner in Yoh's house, and the fact that Manta said something about the shaman tournament being called off and not worth it, the shaman tournament all along was really still going on?? hmm...interesting. well, maybe more of what happened is explained in Funbari No Uta.

[Jr.]

Okay, maybe you know a bit more than me Hana. I was just trying to figure out what was going on from watching the epilouge. I have never seen the final episodes so I was just guessing. You're probably right especially if Manta said that.

I apologize for going off topic, but I have nothing to add for this thread sorry!!

[Hana]

*rereads his previous reply*

o...shoot!! that didnt come out rite! it wasn't supposed to be sarcastic, but now that I read it again, it sure sounds that way! i didnt mean to sound mean like that Jr.!! ^^; sorry!

i actually thought your interpretation of the epilogue made a lot of sense *it could be tru that everyone went back to normal, and they all (including Manta) thought it was over, but then...SURPRISE!! in the end, it's NOT OVER!! (but then the shaman tourney would continue as normal, and it was pointless to go on?) so i accepted your interpretation, but i wanted to see if you thought what i thought, and that's why i put all that in.
*

ooh...careless postin...^^;

[Elba-cakes *coughs*]

Ooooh, I wondered that too!

What I figured was either the oracle bell rung, signifying the re-start of the tournament, or everyone's combined efforts saved us. HoroHoro's field, Ren's cleansing stuff, the X-Laws thingies, etc, helped us. Or everyone was sick of trying and just figured f**k it. I'm not making a point here am I? >_<.

What the f**k!? I'm being censored? And here I thought I had freedom of speech? I might as well go to McDonalds and order a Big Corpse-Mac.

If you're talking about when Meilin comes back and finds out Syaoran likes Sakura, the Chinese version of CCS, has Syaoran explain the words in Meilin's letter to Sakura. It meant good friend. Though I'm not sure if you're talking about this episode.

That was in an episode after this one. I was refering to the scene where they're walking in the park and Meilin asks Sakura why she's smiling so much, then the conversation I mentoned earlier ensues.
