[edit] Kashimashi Userboxes

Juhachi, I just wanted to let you know that I created Kashimashi userboxes if you were interested. I don't know if you like the show, or were just editing the article as part of the Anime and Manga project. You can find them here. --Tom 06:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Just to knitpick, reversing the "ka" and "ma" characters would be a good idea. Don't know if you know this, but when Japanese is written top-to-bottom, it is also right-to-left. ...that means I need to change mine too... --Tom 07:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Putting the kana as "ma" "ka" "shi" "shi" works resonably well. --Tom 07:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I went over your Kasimasi userbox, and some of the color combinations are too subtle, especially the pink in the ID portion versus the pink in the Info portion. They're just different enough so that you can notice them, but not different enough that they work well with each other. (It took me some time, as well as a friend's input, to get the color combination I went with.) (This is Tom, by the way, I changed my signature.) --Limetom 12:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Kashimashi manga

Hi, I can't give you a link that says it hasn't ended, but I've read this month's issue and the story is still ongoing... So barring something disastrous (like the author's death!) I think it's still running :)

I find that it's a bit risky judging the end of the serialization from the size of the tankobon, because often times the last volume does not follow the pattern of the previous ones.

• The author might add original material for the tankobon, be it extra pages, extra episodes, or an omake. Sometimes a "yomikiri" work by the same author is included.
• The last volume might be thicker than the rest.
• The last volume might not contain omake material.

Anyways, I was wondering where you found that this manga will end in four volumes. --Mikeats 00:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na

• An image "Yoake Cresent Love logo.png" and confusion

An image "Yoake Cresent Love logo.png" is just used only in TV animation, never in PC game. May confuse user of Wiki that this image is used in PC game. Better move this image to appropriate section related to the TV animation or add new image that is used in PC game, if license issue may clarified.

• "Brighter than dawning blue"

"Brighter than dawning blue" is not the english translation of "Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na," but a subtitle of the PS2 game to be appearing. English explanation and consideration of the notation of "Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na" and one candidate of english translation appears in the "disscussion" page (tab) of Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na. Also a japanese consideration of "Brighter than dawning blue" is written in the Japanese wiki. Please refer these pages.

--Azulite 08:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Similar discussion (Is "Brigter..." an official translation?) seems posted to the "Note" (equiv. to "discussion") in japanese wiki.

For your information, in [French Wiki], French explanation of "Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na" is added like, "Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na (夜明け前より瑠璃色な, D'un bleu plus profond qu'une aube matinale, 瑠璃色 signifiant couleur Lapis-lazuli)."

• About logo/screenshot of TV anime in "Yoake Mae ..."

As you know, the TV anime is under basshing (i.e. Matsuri@2ch) by the game user and those who watch this anime because of quite *keen* TV anime original(?) additional backgrounds introduced in story, strange movie/picture which does not fit the story (DoDonMai?), quite low quality in movie/picture (Cabbage sceen in 3rd episode seems to become *ledgend* in bad meaning, as like Yasigani in Lost Universe. If you can read and understand japanese, better see the japanese wiki page of [Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na]

If you keep the caputre of TV anime as a representative of this title, the authors of this wiki might be considered that they do not know well about this title.

It is better to keep in mind that those who played the PC game will see this Wiki page. (this page is link backed from the original japanese wiki page)

And another issue is that broadcasting company TBS/BS-i who has the copyright of this TV anime seems not allowing to use captured movie or screenshot of TV anime outside one's personal PC, also not allowing on the public internet, without *their * permission. [Copyright and Link policy of TBS (In Japanese)] (They seems to check "you tube," and as a result, some video may be removed and some users may suspended.) As you know, at the begening of the episode of this TV anime, a "telop" is shown which means TBS/BS-i does not allow to *flow* picture/movie of this TV anime on the internet (in japan/ overseas). Same thing may be said to the screenshot of each episode. (Those who keep screenshot in their Web site takes their risk. Big Web site, which big company hold the contents, asks TBS/BS-i for permission.) When you take in account of the nature of Wikipedia, it is quite riskful to keep such image on the Wikipedia pages. You may see that japanese Wiki page of this title does not contain any pictures. (even if the japanese authors can access or able to get screenshots of the TV anime.)

[edit] Kanon episode list

I like what you're doing for List of Kanon episodes, except: the summaries probably don't need to be a blow-by-blow account of the episode (otherwise, why watch it?). I just read the RfC on the spoiler guideline and Ned Scott brought this point up:

"Elements which are best avoided in any episode article: A scene-by-scene synopsis. An overall plot summary is much better; the article should not attempt to be a replacement for watching the show itself, it should be about the show"

I have to admit, though, the early episodes, when generalized, will look very similar to the first anime. Maybe a section on the plot differences would be appropriate? Magus Melchior 19:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Cool beans. Well, I've seen the 2002 anime myself, and am following the new production with interest (though admittedly I'm not that big on Kanon...). As the first few eps were very similar plot-wise, I'm excited to see what they do in the latter half of the season. Magus Melchior 02:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sumomomo Momomo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sumomomo Momomo.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 16:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: List of Shuffle! episodes

Thank you for your input to this article. I am planning to include episode summaries for the first season sometime around December 10th or perhaps a few days later. I was just wondering if you plan to include them before I do because if you're not then I will be more than happy to do so. --(十八|talk) 01:14, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Not at all. In all honesty, plot summaries are the part that I dread the most about working on articles. I prefer to work on the more technical aspects. It'll be good to have someone else helping on the Shuffle! articles. As you probably have seen, I really worked over Shuffle! in preparing it for GA, I really hope that passes. Then I get kinda stuff though, as I've yet to play Tick! Tack! or Really? Really!. I think a seperate article for the anime will need to be made soon so a plot summary of the series as a whole can be put in as well (up for that as well?). I know that if I keep Shuffle! as it is for too long fanboys who've only seen the anime are going to tilt it back to the bias it had before I started cleaning it up. Also, I need to figure out my plan of attack for the individual character articles. Right now they're rather crufty. On a final note, do you want to just do little blurbs for the list? or do you think you could write enough summary to give each episode their own article? If we're able to do the later, we can get the list to be a Featured List, but we'll have to probably wait until after Shuffle! Memories is done to do that anyways.--SeizureDog 01:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

No pressure. It's not as though the episode articles are that important. I was merely wondering how far you'd be wanting to go with them. --SeizureDog 15:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I see, that makes a lot of sense. It's easiest to write about a series while you're watching it. I'm currently obsessed with the new Kanon series myself; it's quickly become my favorite anime ever actually. I love that series too much to have anything accidently spoiled for me, so I'm staying clear of the Kanon articles until the series is over. I think you'll really like the Shuffle! anime. It's a very refreshing twist on the harem genre. And not to spoil anything for you, but he does actually choose someone. I don't know about you, but I hate harem anime that end with the guy never choosing anyone (Futakoi and Ichigo 100% pissed me off for this reason).--SeizureDog 16:41, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

That sucks that you got it spoiled. If you don't know that then it is a huge surprise since Asa is mostly cast as a side character in the begining. It's refreshing to watch a romance anime and actually wonder who he'll end up with instead of just how (for example, in Love Hina it's not like there's ever any wondering of who he'll pick). It's amazing how well done these series originally based off of what's basically porn are. Air is another one of those, have you seen it? By the same people that made Kanon. So what are some of your favorite anime aside from Kanon? On a final note, maybe we should switch to IM :P I'm AwaitTheDate on AIM and seizure_dog@hotmail.com for MSN, but it's screwy right now. --SeizureDog 16:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
