[edit] this is a stub
Can you tell me this article matches up with those articles? This article needs much more to be called anything less than a stub. dposse 20:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- No. It's no longer a stub. It has mre than one long section. Stubs actually have an upper size limit. IIRC, there's even a cat for long stubs. --Kunzite 00:09, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Kunzite is correct: this article has far too much info in it to be considered a stub. It does, however, need some serious editing to move beyond Start class. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:25, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Fine. Then i'm putting {{expansion}} in the article. dposse 16:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed the quote: "(we never actually see him delivering mail, but he mentions it from time to time)" from Postino section. He deliver's mail in Adonis during the final celebration, and in one of the earlier "Twilight Tales" to some town-folk.
[edit] Anime and Manga Collaboration of the Week
WOOHOO! I'm soo happy that this article is the Collaboration of the Week. I love King of Bandit Jing and it just needs alot of expansion. dposse 02:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Should the three OVA episodes be mentioned under the episodes section?
- Yeah, it should. dposse 03:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Names
I have a minor problem with this section, one that should easily be solved by a rewrite. If it is true that the TokyoPop release explains the specifics of the names, then it would be much better to state it up front instead of the way it is are currently written. Something along the lines of:
- In the author's/editor's(?) commentaries in volumes five through seven of the English language translations by TokyoPop, it is explained that the names . . .
Then follow each example with a specific citation to the pages that explain it in those volumes. Of course I'm assuming that this information is in the commentaries space where the ads would be when the manga was serialized. --TheFarix (Talk) 00:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion for synopsis editing
I think the problem is the first paragraph, I wasn't 100% certain about my plan for the editing, so I thought I'd put it down here and get a second opinion.
All that glitters... Even the stars All things precious... Even your life The King of Bandits Can steal it all In the blink of an eye (Introduction and volume 1 blurb)
King of Bandit Jing tells the story of Jing, a thief who, despite his youth, is crowned 'King of Bandits' because he has yet to fail or be captured. Accompanied by Kir, a scarved, smart-mouthed, flirtatious bird (who is called both an albatross and a crow), Jing travels the world in search of treasure and adventure.
Also, I believe it should be noted the fact that he appears very attached to his mother, as well as a crystal (in the first chapter of Volume 1, he lets a thief take what he wants except for the crystal). I also noticed that a number of his targets shine like crystals (The double mermaid and the Wild Bunch Clockwork Grapes among them).
[edit] Call for inclusion of OVA series
I noticed that the article is incomplete without mentioning the OVA "King of Bandit Jing in 7th Heaven." It is not licensed in N. America. It was released on DVD sometime in 2004 and it features a noticeably older Jing who is jailed in highest security prison the world.
There are 3 Episodes:
I) Lost in 7th Heaven II) Dream in 7th Heaven III) Awake in 7th Heaven
