[edit] More episodes

They should've made more episodes ****Rahulnirmal2000

  • sighs* I agree with you. They should have finished the manga adaptation to anime; I wanted to see a lot more of Ren-chan. ****Zhane Masaki

Yup...you've got that right. Of course the manga was still in production at that time, so the remaining episodes would have had to have waited for production to continue after the series was finished in the manga department. As the manga is now finished with production, who knows, maybe we'll see another season of enough episodes to cover the rest of the series to its end.Davinator61 13:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)yeah wanted to see more nakeness of course208.120.179.179 21:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)ŎВŕéáѕɬ but at ep 13 it end when the sis come back so it is like not complete so i wish that there is more —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.155.70 (talk) 02:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I was adding the anime voices to the article. On animenewsnetwork.com, their is a character named Hirofumi Nonaka in Japanese and Hironobu Nonaka in English. Is this the same character with different spelling or are they different? (Duane543 17:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC))

ύ== Unknown Characters ==

I recently watched the DearS anime series and noticed two characters in the end credits that did not appear in the series. I assumed they only appear in the manga, but I am unsure and I can't find references to them (since I don't know their names). They appear to be mostly similar in appearance, and have white 'earmuffs'. During the ending theme, they ask the phrase 'Warui?' Can someone please identify them? --Threyon 14:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC) it means u are an idoit and let me feel your breast~

[edit] Plot

I came to read a little on what exactly this series is about when I realized how much work the Plot section needed. It lacks a few vital punctuation marks, and has a couple grammar mistakes that make it difficult to read. Could someone fix this? DaniDaniDanica 00:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC) hell no

[edit] Move

It should be moved to DearS. - Plau 14:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

People who are unfamiliar with DearS keep changing "DearS" to "Dears" because they think the capitalized S is purely stylistic. These people probably think the name is the single word "dears", the plural form of the noun "dear". In actuality, the "S" is pronounced separately, and the "dear" is an adjective. If anything about "DearS" is stylistic, it is the lack of a space. Thus, a completely non-stylized form would be "Dear S". The version without a space is known as CamelCase, and Wikipedia's style guide explicitly allows it. The CamelCase article has many examples of articles with CamelCase titles. The title of this article should be "DearS". The title "Dear S" would also work, but "Dears" is just wrong. Herorev (talk) 07:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DearS "Race/People" Section, anyone?...

I'm quite a fan of this series, Manga and Anime formats alike, and I've noticed that this article contains little-to-no information on the DearS as a race, rather than the individual DearS themselves such as Ren or Miu. While I realise the importance of character-specific information, perhaps we should have a section on the DearS as a race, to explain such things as exactly what the DearS are (something I'm not clear on myself... ^_^;;), their abilities, the fact that they are a slave race and such. What are the strange triangular markings on their foreheads that identify them as DearS? What are the differences between the classes of DearS? As an encyclopedia, should Wikipedia not provide such explenations? Glazios 18:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Takeya.JPG

Image:Takeya.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. To respond to a few of the comments below, the pronunciation is "dears". The dablinks at the top of the page appear to be sufficient for disambiguation purposes; the band is mentioned here, and the term of endearment doesn't have its own article.

Dears → DearS — Proper capitalization. —Ppk01 (talk) 22:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. DearS is the proper "name" --ShakataGaNai (talk) 22:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose' move would clearly go against the WP:MOSTM which states. Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment. A capital S at the end of the word is clearly special treament and is not gramatically correct. --70.48.173.146 (talk) 23:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. I think WP:MOSTM actually endorses this usage. The quote above (Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization...) is possibly misleading, as all the examples given of the application of this principle (REALTOR®, TIME, KISS) are where the brand wishes to use all capitals. On the other hand, later we read Trademarks in CamelCase are a judgement call. CamelCase may be used where it reflects general usage and makes the trademark more readable: OxyContin or Oxycontin — editor's choice. Still later we read use: eBay is where he bought his iPod (my emphasis). I think the trailing cap is a plus for readability and comprehension, so we should go with it. Andrewa (talk) 08:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
    Comment I'd say this is different from CamelCase. In CamelCase, as in examples such as iPod and eBay, the capital letters set of phonetically distinct parts of the word. I would agree with User:DeLarge below, that the 'S' should be capitalized if and only if the word is pronounced "dear ess". -GTBacchus(talk) 18:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'd say it depends on the pronunciation. If it's pronounced "dears" then no, it should stay where it is, as the capitalized "S" is decorative. If it's pronounced "dear ess", or with some kind of emphasis to stress that the last letter is an abbreviation of something separate from "Dear", then I'd probably support the move, as the current title would probably be misleading to passing readers. --DeLarge (talk) 17:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to Dears (manga) or Dears/DearS (manga) or Dears/DearS (anime and manga) or Dears/DearS (animanga), because "dears" is ambiguous. dears should redirect to dear. 132.205.99.122 (talk) 21:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Other examples of this capitalization style on Wikipedia include SuperS and StrikerS. I agree that dears should redirect to dear, but DearS (with the capitalized S) is not ambiguous. Ppk01 11:49, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
    No, it's not ambiguous, but it is somewhat questionable per WP:MOSTM and WP:MOSCL. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

[edit] Episode Order

The true episode order starting from 10 is Lets Have an Orgy 11 Do You Want to Experience It? 12 Furthermore it was Hot and 13 Is it a Golden Ball?

If you have a problem with this order then go watch episode 9 and watch for the preview of the next episode and its title.
