[edit] Cleanup
The characters section is a mess, and the information is spattered with opprobrious references and colloquialisms which render the information in the article beyond the comprehension of someone not thouroughly immensed in both the Anime subculture and Japanese culture.

I agree that this article need to be cleaned up. In fact, the whole page needs to be scraped and redone with the manga and the anime kepted separate with different pictures and information . And there seems to be a page named List of Karin characters and yet there is a list of characters on the this page. --ZinnKid 06:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A separate section for anime
I've tried editing the article, but it's too messy and convoluted with details. Despite the title of the article being "manga", there are too many references to the anime. I think it should be split up into two separate sections, since there are significant differences between the anime and the manga as well. Yura` 09:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea. Do we have enough manga information though? Karn-b 10:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, it'll be good to get someone who's actually reading the Karin manga to update the details here. I'm following the anime, but apparently there are some deviations from the manga (such as the character Winner, who apparently doesn't exist in the manga at all). Btw, I'm new at this editing thing, and though I'd love to restructure this, I'd probably need help. Yura` 13:03, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Took out some chunks of unrelated information (as the title specifies 'manga' and not 'anime'). I don't read the manga, so considerable help from someone who reads the manga would be appreciated!
I'll try to get a hold of the Karin manga soon. However, virtually all of the character details are still based on the anime version. Perhaps when we get more information we should split the article into two main sections: manga and anime.

Unfortunately, I am only able to follow the anime, so all of my help will be limited in that area. A section with differences between the manga and the anime would be a good idea, but the likelyhood of finding someone who knows the manga is a bit iffy. Searching for some translated manga would be the easiest course of action (are we allowed to talk about such things?). For informational purposes of course. --SeizureDog 00:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I feel that this page should now be split into two: a "Chibi Vampire" page to cover the manga, and a "Karin (anime)" page for the anime. --SeizureDog 23:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
If there's enough information on the manga (still haven't bothered to read it) then I agree. However, in order to keep the information accurate the page should perhaps be called Karin (manga) and Karin (anime), as in Japan the original name is Karin. A redirect page can be used to redirect searches of "chibi Vampire" to the Karin (manga) page. Karn-b 12:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree with you on calling it "Karin (manga)". This is the English Wikipedia, and we should name the articles based on their English counterparts to keep information at its most accurate. Also, my suggestion is not without precedent. A major example would be Case Closed. Notice how the article is not for Detective Conan, its Japanese name. --SeizureDog 08:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I think a new "Karin (manga)" article needs to be written and this article renamed to "Karin (anime)", if possible. From what I can see, most of the text pertains to the Karin animated series, as well as the graphics. In the meantime, I'm gonna go ahead and straighten out some "Japanisms" in this article; mainly changing all the 'Maaka's to 'Marker's and getting the naming conventions uniform. Maybe if time allows, I'll add some Maaka vs. Marker info, as well. ToonPal 01:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I have ordered the latest Karin manga (it just sounds so much better that way) by the way the 3rd comes out on the 12 of December and splitting it up as the anime and manga in different names wont work as the US/UK anime is called the chibi vampire as well. When it comes out next year (3rd or 4th quarter)I'm more than happy to help update in 3 weeks or so Just a note: the direct translation of Karin to english is fruits forest/forest fruits 13:53 30 october 2006
[edit] Something I've noticed
I was reading the GetBackers article and I noticed that 'Karin' was the name of Kazuki's theme, and it was noted that it meant 'Flower Bells'. When Karin has a nosebleed the blood is often drawn to look like flowers. Also, particularly in flashbacks of the nosebleed she has ni episode 2, I hear a bell sounding. This might be a pun on her name.
