Corresponding English-language article

Simoun is a potentially popular, but complex, anime currently airing, and guidance on how to translate and/or transliterate technical terminology, and other insights only available from Japanese-language sources, would be very helpful.

The English-language version contains more information than the Japanese original, and information there might be considered for translation back into Japanese.

[edit] 戯作 → Gesaku

Article
ja:戯作
Corresponding English-language article
Gesaku
Worth doing because
refers to an entire branch of Japanese literature; some of the article I am editing now (Buraiha) makes little sense without 戯作, because the Buraiha were also known as 新戯作派.

Japanese version seems plagiarized, much of it coming from here, word-for-word: [1], which is not mentioned in their reference list. I've translated all but the last, highly-plagiarized paragraph. This one also makes a lot of reference to "gesaku"-related terms, so i recommend that someone translate the gesaku page first, so that the vocab and names used on both pages will not be in discord.

"The Decadents (or Buraiha writers) had an impact during the immediate postwar years precisely because of their opposition to the inflated and hypocritical.." ( Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, 1996 )-- I'll see if I can pull some information to enhance the article from an Asian Literature Journal or something. --Kunzite 03:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
