I can't find any way to access any of my information in the new Yahoo Answers format. I click on 'My Activities' and all I get is a feed list of recent actions.

Where do I go to see my watchlist? My starred questions? The questions I've answered in the past? How can I sort questions by different criteria? (Newest, oldest, fewest answers, etc.)

Better yet, how can I switch permanently back to the old format? It used to switch back and forth randomly at work, but at least I always had the old style on my computer at home. Now that's switched, too, and the new format is almost totally useless. I've complained on the feedback page, but I'm pretty sure that's just a spot to vent and rant, and they won't change no matter how many people tell them it's bad.

When a newborn baby is named something like 'Devious Retch' or 'Darken Eevle' or 'Krooket Kruell' or 'Nasticia Traytor' or 'Slimeus Poyzin'.........

............why don't the Jedi just toss them into prison to save time later?

I'm watching the anime, but they are now in the limitless fortress where it seems nothing but battle after battle with the guys stopping to talk smack or brag about their fighting abilities constantly, or give sulky speeches that include the words or concept of "How dare you?".

Has anyone watched this all the way through? Does it start having stories again, or is it just a shonen smackfest from here on?

There are some anime that the background music is wonderful, and distinctive and noticeable enough that hearing it outside the show immediately brings flashbacks to the anime itself.

Like Fruits Basket, Hikaru No Go, Fantastic Children and .Hack//SIGN.

Do you know a good anime with a wonderful OST?

I bought Steins Gate for myself already, and was hoping to also buy a copy for the library where I work, but planned to wait until there was a complete series box set.

Now I see that Part 1 is out of print already, and as far as I can discover, there's no plan yet for a complete series release. Feeling a little panicky-- does anyone know anything about future release plans? Or should I try and snag a copy of the limited-edition Part 1 while there's still a hope of getting it at a reasonable price?

I have a Mexican character in a web comic, and I really need these lines in Spanish for her. Google Translate is not always reliable / idiomatic / natural sounding, and I don't speak Spanish myself, so I have no idea whether the Google version is okay. Can some Spanish speaker please help? Thanks!

Google Translate version--

La verdad es que el jefe tiene miedo a la oscuridad. Esto es muy extraño para un fantasma, en mi opinión.

Weird question, here.

I had a cheap Android tablet, and downloaded all the incarnations of Angry Birds on it. ALMOST all-- I downloaded original, Star Wars, Space, and Rio. But when I tried to install Seasons, I got an error message.

So, that tablet died after three weeks. I got the replacement, this time I downloaded Seasons first, to see if it would install, and it DID. So I downloaded the rest. Except, again, the last one (original) would not install again.

Has anyone successfully installed all 5 Angry Birds versions on their Android tablet? Is there some sort of manufacturer or system limit on how many free Angry Birds versions you can install?

I am drawing a web comic and there's a minor Mexican character who appears sometimes. I hate to rely on Google Translate, but I need a few lines in Spanish for her to speak! Can you help me?

Lines:

Is he awake yet?

So what? or Who cares?

Never underestimate the symbolic significance of candy.

Thanks!

I've just finished rewatching Hikaru No Go (again) and I really would like another anime where there are deep relationships, great friendships and rivalries, and strong emotions. Something where the people seem to actually care about each other. Something with a warmth and affection that feels real.

But as a side effect of an actual plot, not something like Clannad or Kanon where the interpersonal drama takes center stage.

Something more emotionally mature and intellectual than the usual shonen fighting anime like Naruto or One Piece or Fairy Tail or DBZ, please.

Not interested in FMA. Seen some, it just doesn't grab me.

Some comedy is always good, too.

Other ones of this sort I liked were Fruits Basket, Fantastic Children, Pumpkin Scissors, Steins:Gate and Welcome to the NHK.

Finally got around to watching the new animated Star Wars stuff.

The movie was just a bore.

I'm watching Season 1 and it's better, but IMO Asoka is a tedious Mary Sue and Anakin is a bore. Fortunately there are lots of episodes with interesting side characters, though as a Star Wars fan, the fact that the most entertaining episode so far featured Jar Jar Binks causes a great disturbance in the Force.

So, does it get better as it goes on? What's your opinion of the show?

I buy the videos for the local library, and after several months of budget freeze, I now have till the end of December to buy a huge pile of DVDs. I mean to get a few anime series box sets as well.

Please suggest some! What would you like YOUR library to have?

Hot and popular or at least seriously cool are great. (But not something everyone knows about like Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, FMA, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha, etc, because those are already in the library system.)

No graphic sex, very little nudity, not too gory. Milder MA stuff is okay, like Black Butler and Hetalia. Grandmas sometimes accidentally check out these things to watch with their preschoolers, don't give Grandma a heart attack.

Ideally something not already on here-- https://www.infosoup.org/

-- but I won't thumb you down for not looking. ^^

ENGLISH DUB unless it's super amazing. (Like it or not, subs just don't check out as well.)

We already have Black Butler, Code Geass, Vampire Knight, Hetalia, K-on, Death Note, Fruits Basket, Excel Saga and many older titles. Looking for the very best of the newer releases OR classics we've missed.

Please explain why you think your suggestions are awesome. ^^

Well, at least with a few hours of it.

Name ONLY ONE anime you think I should watch.

Must EITHER be English dubbed OR at least five years old. No porn.

The first to mention one I haven't seen at all, I promise to try to watch at least three episodes of it, whatever it's about. (Legally watchable in some way helps.) I've seen a pretty fair amount, so off-the-beaten-track has a better chance of winning.

If I tell you I've seen it, feel free to edit your answer for another try. ^^

I'm in the mood for some funny AMVs. Already know about AMV Hells, AMV Blitz! AMV Salad and probably lots like it.

I'd prefer if it isn't from really mainstream stuff like Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, One Piece, etc.

Here are some I like

I'm looking for an anime that engages my brain!

Maybe something that has a mystery that keeps you guessing.

Maybe something that makes you re-examine social and moral absolutes.

Maybe something with an incredible battle of wits.

Maybe something that examines human nature.

Maybe something that calls reality as we know it into question.

Or maybe just something so weird it's mind-bending.

Some things I've seen like this would be:

Spiral

Death Note

Eden of the East

Fantastic Children

Paranoia Agent

Kino's Journey

Noein

Princess Tutu

xxxHolic

Revolutionary Girl Utena

In short, something that puts questions into your head.

DO NOT WANT: Gore-fest, angst-fest, excessive nudity or non-stop-action. I don't mind a bit of blood, fighting or drama when called for, but I'm totally not into shocker violence or constant misery and most fighting action scenes put me to sleep. Uber-ecchi is also a bore. I'm not a teen boy, no interest at all in staring at cartoon hooters.

Please do not mention Code Geass, Elfen Lied, Higurashi, or any mass-market mainstream stuff with half a jillion episodes.

Already thinking of watching Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, feel free to add your opinion if you've seen it.

I know about Hikaru No Go, obviously.

There are Go scenes in:

Summer Wars

Night Raid

Paniponi Dash!

Any others you've seen? (Episode helpful, but not necessary.)

It seems like I'm always trying to encourage people to watch my favorite obscure animes. Sometimes I think that's a mistake: if they were for everyone, they would already be popular, right? And do I really want a lot of people who can't appreciate it watching it and dissing it? Even if it became popular, is it more fun to have a big fanbase to share with, or feel like you're part of a small, elite group of fans?

Your opinions, please. (Feel free to mention/discuss your favorite little-known anime, if you want to.)

I've seen it in several anime series. What or who is it?

The only review just sounds like a rehash of the publisher's blurb.

I love those arrogant idiots that always make every statement an over-dramatic proclamation. (If they actually plan to conquer the world--better yet. :D )

Like:

Lord Ilpalazzo from Excel Saga.

Taishi from Comic Party.

Kuno (and Ryoga, too) from Ranma 1/2

Truffle from Trouble Chocolate

Any ideas for me?
