[edit] Video Games/Other Media Section?

A New PS2 video game came out last week for AMG, and I'd add the info myself if not for two things. 1) I know very little about the game, as I can't read the website (http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/ps2/megami/), and 2) This isn't the first game to come out for the series, so in light of that fact and the Soundtracks section (and the mention of a novel right below this topic), would it be possible to create a section entitled "Other Media" to list all the non-manga/anime AMG...things?

[edit] Novel

Would someone have some info on that, please ? http://eg.nttpub.co.jp/news/20060605_15.html

[edit] Article for deletion

Before you jump and think Oh My Goddess! is up for deletion, it isnt. Kiddy Grade is, but unfortunately the discussion has started to critise this article too. And in order to delete the Kiddy Grade articles they would have to do the same here. It is of note because, obviously, you don't want that to happen.

This is quote from one of the people: "I don't want to be rude and please don't take this is gnawing the newbies or assuming ill intentions of an editor. I don't, it's not the editor, it's the culture. But there has been a pervasive explosion of these character articles in Anime articles. They contain little chunks of information, but only seem to exist to hold an image and an infobox on the character and to fill out a character navagation template... I have half a mind to say delete the lot of them and start from scratch .. but I'd only push for that if we could throw in the similarly formatted character articles from OMG, IY, and Tenchi as well. They were all created in the same manner, and it's not well suited to the wikipedia. First off, they contain way too many pictures and (some of them) seem to only exist because an infobox was able to be created for the article. But, I will not be mean to the information and I will push for a SUPER speedy merge These articles fall under the auspices of the WP:FICTION which give a wonderful steps on how to create such pages. Also, a aticle like Eclair and Lumiere (Kiddy Grade) contains WAY too many photos and is a definite violation of the fair use policy. It needs a lot of trimming regardless of the outcome of this debate. I would vote to Delete the Kiddy Grade Infobox and navigation templates, if I could."

The discussion is here

I'm getting sick of this, why is it that anime and game articles are going for the chop. There is no logic for why they are disapearing without proper reason. First most of the command and conquer articles, now this!?

I am having big fears that Wikipedia will fall under fire again.-Dynamo_ace Talk

I love the smell of napalm. :)

I have initiated a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Notability (fiction) and how its violating Wikipedia talk:Stub.

I want wikipedia to fall under fire becuase of this, it pisses me off. sigh. These are all articles legible for deletion, if only i had enough time to AfD them all... And there are still many many many more.

Please don't spam the talk page Addps4cat 17:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

see: WP:POINT. --Cat out 17:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

It isn't spam, it's used to make a point. Spam is advertisement in all forms and all definitions (except DoS, which that wasn't either), that wasn't. But i won't rv it, i get tired of people rv'ing pages because they think they understand policy. *sigh* --Crampy20 22:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok how about this. I kindly ask you not to post every pokemon known to exist on this talk page about Oh My Goddess! anime as all of it is completely irrelevant. --Cat out 00:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. I was being sarcastic about the deletion. Seriously, there are many OMG articles that need to be merged to follow the style guides at WP:FICTION. I've proposed this several times. We don't need articles on every single minor character or bit of minutia that is produced within a series. For other interested parties, you can find further debate on Fictional articles at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction) --Kunzite 03:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is hot, "character popularity poll" has concluded

I think the official competition ^{(translation)} has concluded. The competition was basicaly an online poll of fans favorite characters. Belldandy for instance was voted #1, no suprise there.

In any case this info can be incorporated into character articles. I just am not certain how to do it. We could use the infobox or add it in as trivia. What do you guys think?

• One Piece character articles just put it in trivia. I think that works out best. Danny Lilithborne 02:11, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Add to trivia?

I just watched Season 1, File 40 ("Dangerous Date") of Fujishima's You're Under Arrest (Taiho Shichauzou). In this episode, the bagpipe tune that plays in the background of the amusement park, sounds uncannily similar to the opening theme (also with bagpipes) of the second TV series Ah! My Goddess: Everyone Has Wings (Aa! Megami-sama: Sorezore no Tsubasa).

Can anyone confirm this? Add to trivia?

[edit] V.a. table

Currently there are still "x"'s and "v"'s in table cells for anime wherein the corresponding character never spoke. I think it would probably be better to have these cells empty. In fact, I'm having my doubts on the usefulness of this table as it stands. Except in a few cases this is essentially a who played in what anime list, and there are only a few cases where one chara was played by multiple v.a.'s. Currently the list is not particularly clear/helpful. Shinobu 16:46, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I find the table helpful, if you have a better idea feel free to suggest.

Those charcters had manga only appearances. son an "n" is only approporate. "n" represents that the character did not have a voice actor on that spesific series.

[edit] Ah! or Oh!, again

At the risk of starting some giant war over what is almost just a nitpick, shouldn't Oh! My Goddess redirect into Ah! My Goddess instead of the other way around? I say this because in the Ah! or Oh! section, Fujishima says that it should probably stay as Ah! for consistency. Further, the only media to use the Oh! My Goddess name is the Dark Horse Manga and the OVA. Both of which were named, what, ten years ago? Also, all the more recent media has used Ah!, both the movie and the TV series. It may not be a big deal, but looking through the archives I noticed that it was never discussed.Xenon Zaleo 10:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

"ah" is the reading of the Japanese Hiragana symbol while "Oh!" is the usual English 'translation' of the utterance. In a way, they are *both* correct useage. Fujishima, when he later learned of the English phrase "Oh my God!" said that was the sense he had intended (as in "Oh My Goddess!!!") but by this time most of the English translations were using "Ah" which is simply the writing of the sound of the hiragana symbol in our alphabet. In other words, what you are seeing here is the difficulty of translating from one language to another. And its one of those things like a dog chasing its own tail where we can debate for the rest of time which is the most "correct." I think it is never discussed, as you say, for this very reason. There is no "correct" answer, except to say that "Ah" is the closest we can get to the original Japanese sounding (albeight not the closest morphological English meaning) and I guess that's the convention that everyone has decided to use in order to keep people's head exploding pondering it. :-) Yanqui9 20:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
