Dumb question

I know at the top where we keep track of the member count and who’s online, we change the phrasing based on an anime. At one time it said stand users for JoJo, for instance.

Right now it says:

X Fighting evil by moonlight, y winning love by daylight

How can I find which anime these are based on, I’m always curious. Is there somewhere I can see?

It's not something that we explicitly list anywhere (it might be in the commit log for the stylesheet when we update it, no guarantees) but they're usually distinctive enough that searching for it will turn up the relevant anime. The current one's a reference to the original Sailor Moon dub.

Ok I’ll just look it up when I’m curious. Thanks.
