[edit] Translation

personally, i love this song. back in the day when it came out on dvd, i sat down and wrote to complete accuracy the words to the song. pause and play lol

so i'll help with this entry

Is there any source for this translation? Wikipedia doesn't publish homebrew translations if possible, and as I see it, the top translation is essentially the same as the "unofficial" translation, so I'm going to cut it for now. DirectorStratton 05:29, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Second verse and copyright issues

The lyrics for the second verse is available on various web pages. Are we allowed to copy it here? What about what we already have here?

CyberSkull: Do you have any proof that "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" is the correct title? The Google Test gives 16,600 results for "Cruel Angel's Thesis", while "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" gets a mere 541 (and "Zankoku na Tenshi no Te-ze" and other transliterations get around 1500 each). -℘yrop (talk) 06:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll double check my CDs when I get home, but in the meantime see the following pages:

There seems to be little consistency even amongst the official sources. The soundtrack does, indeed, list it as "A Cruel Angel's Thesis", but the DVD credits read "A Thesis of the Cruel Angel". Both seem unpopular in general usage versus "Cruel Angel's Thesis". W Solleni 15:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Still, I'd go with the soundtrack. The liner notes state that all titles in the soundtracks were named by the director. I believe this applies to the English versions as well. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 02:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone have a scan of the official OSTs (i.e. not third-party like that one Black Mages album I bought from eBay...)? From my uneducated perspective, I'd guess that Cruel Angel's Thesis would be written on there in Japanese, along with some of the other tracks. If that's the case, I'd say we should go with the most recent official US name, "Thesis of the Cruel Angel" (which, IMO, is distinctly different in saying that it's a specific Angel, though it's prolly of little actual consequence).

[edit] Stub...?

~~ Simba 13:41, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Is this page really a stub? I think the tag needs to be removed. ~~~

  • Since I added an infobox, I bumped it up to Start class.--SeizureDog 04:43, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I removed the tag, it was still (again?) on the article. Ninja neko 08:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I added an infobox, but Singles confuse me, so I wasn't sure exactly how to fill out all of the information. Please expand it. source

Also,there actually seems to be more than one single released, adding more to my confusion. However, the Maxi single had the coolest cover art by far, so I went with that one.

Anyways, I'm sure someone can sort it out all right.--SeizureDog 04:43, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that the other single art should be used, since the once currently featured is of the reprint. 72.70.71.61 19:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
