[edit] Summary-per-Episode?

Do you think it would make sense to write a small summary of each episode? I think it would be nice. I'm open to suggestions. --dionyziz 10:51, 1 August 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Why is there mention of the anime under Loveless (manga)?

I would just like to know why the anime is mentioned under Loveless (manga).

Shouldn't the two be separate articles?

[edit] Keeping anime and manga references seperate

In editing the article, I've been coming across very many anime-only references. Because the anime ended over a year ago and didn't cover a large part of the story, I think there should be a distinction made, and effort to reference both the manga and anime when it's possible, as well as their crucial differences. I'll be editing the article to reflect this, and I think it would be good for new contributors to keep this in mind. I don't think there will be any opposition, but if there is, please tell me your reasoning. --Honeybiscuit 01:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy VII

Almost definately completely obscure and nothing to do with this at all, but having not read the manga/seen the anime I don't know: Right at the end of Final Fantasy VII if, instead of going onto the final boss, you go back to your ship, and speak to a character called Cid, he asks if you've ever seen the play LOVELESS. If you say Yes he gives you a few touching lines from the ending. I typed it into Wikipedia on the remote possibilty that it's a real play, and ended up here. Then I saw that this was produced by Square Enix... obviously this manga is way more recent than FF7, but is there any possibilty of a link? --Aceizace 19:20, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

There's no relation. It wasn't 'produced' by Square-Enix -- G-Fantasy is just a comic magazine the company owns, and the series in the magazine don't necessarily have anything to with Final Fantasy or their other games. I'm not even certain Loveless ran in G-Fantasy -- some of Kouga Yun's previous works were indeed serialized there, but I can't find any proof of any kind that Loveless was. But that's another subject entirely. ^^; Honeybiscuit 01:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I think there's no relation in terms of timescale too!!! Look at the years each came out (ie ff7 was first - by far)! Also there's a huge loveless sign behind Aeris at the begining (when she is an unknown flower girl) and you can make out portions of the words 'My Bloody Valentine' - they are a British band and their most popular album was called Loveless. --Sharonlees 11:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] G-Fantasy references

I've researched off and on for months, but I can't find any proof that Loveless ever ran in G-Fantasy. I've found sites discussing the debut of Zero-Sum back in 2002, and also makes references to the "new series" by Kouga Yun starting there. I also counted back the chapter numbers, and they correlate perfectly with the release of Zero-Sum's 50th issue a few months back (counted with her breaks kept in mind). Because the evidence weighed so strongly in one direction, I removed the references in the article to G-Fantasy and the Square-Enix publisher. If anyone can give me any hard proof that it was actually serialized there at one point, please point it out to me -- I sincerely want to know! Honeybiscuit 20:14, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GET RID OF THE SPOILERS!!!!!!

The spoilers in this article are hidden poorly and completely ruined a series I've been waiting quite some time for, and have been buying on the release date for quite some time now. If someone doesn't get rid of them soon, I will.

Agreed. Some anonymous user(s) keep adding new spoilers whenever a new chapter is released. Personally, I don't think they're a good idea when so few people who read the manga are caught up to the new chapters. I only see bad coming from it. I'll edit them out. Honeybiscuit 03:10, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Also, I'm undecided on what to do about the Seimei spoiler. I wrote it myself a long time ago, and the reason I put it there was because it was so widely considered the "Luke, I am your father"-type spoiler of the Loveless fandom and heavily influenced any series discussion the article could have afterwards. But looking back on it I don't think it was such a good idea to put it there, even if it's marked with a spoiler tag. I also saw the spoiler is inadvertently referenced in the Nisei description too. Frankly, both articles could stand alone without these spoilers, so I'll remove them for now to avoid anyone else getting spoiled. If anyone has any suggestions for a different approach, please say so. Honeybiscuit 03:27, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Is the bit about Soubi's past - parents, taken in by Ritsu-sensei when he was six - a spoiler for the most recent chapters because i deffinately don't recall it. If it is for the most recent chapter shouldn't there be a spoler warning?

[edit] Volume Summery

Would someone please start a summery for every volume, it's hard to find any on the net, and i havent found any for the 5th,6th,and 7th volume, i would have done it myself but i cant subscribe to the Manga, and ive only watched the Anime. Its hard to get any information about Loveless even with the Links mentioned. Zaroo 09:30, 23 November 2006.

[edit] Nanatsu no Tsuki...

I've noticed the phrase "Nanatsu no Tsuki" in the article several times. I'm 100% sure that means "Seven Moons" when translated, so I'm just going to change those to "The Seven Moons." Abby724 01:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zero Sum

The link to the magazine Zero Sum leads to an X-files episode. I somehow don't think that;s accurate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.41.33.129 (talk) 20:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Dr Shouko

I think she should appear in the article, but i haven`t read the manga so i can`t be sure she has the same personality as in the anime, so i can`t make the change, but i`ll try and find information, please someone who has read the manga do it Zidane tribal 22:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
