Someone should write a section for Mrs. Kimura. She is certainly a bigger character than Yukari's car.

If whoeevr posted the "needs cleanup" tag could point out the problems here, perhaps it would help us fix them. I am also wondering whether Kimura and Kaorin need to br branched off into their own articles, particularly since Kaorin is a major character for much of the series.

-"In fact they are also heroes (or heroines?) of "Neko koneko no Tabi" （ねここねこのたび）, a work by Azuma which is not exhibited in public."

Could someone clarify the above statement, or provide some kind of reference? I cannot find any information about anything called "Neko Koneko no Tabi" ("Journey of the Cat and Kitten"?) elsewhere online.

Go to web.archive.org and serch A-zone, Azuma's website, as in the older URL. Mononohazumi 21:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

This page appears to be quite well done. I question the need for it to be cleaned up.SemblaceII 19:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Disagreement

Kaorin & Kimura are not minor characters.

  • They do not appear as often as the other characters, and dont really need their own page (Animedude 07:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC))
  • To suggest that Kaorin and Kimura are on the same level of importance as, say, Chihiro or a vehicle is absurd.(Sandwich Pirate)

The section for "Kaorin" has stuff that isn't quite right and I plan to fix it if I have some extra time (assuming no one objects). For starters, her entry should list her real name not "Kaorin." Second, the "rin" part is actually an honorific, specifically a cutesy form (childish form) of the "chan" honorific. Official R1 companies with an aversion to honorifics in subtitles will leave it in, but make it appear to be part of the name rather than the subtitles, which is why ADV spelled it "Kaorin" rather than "Kao-rin." However, it would not be unusual if Kaori's close friends addressed her as "Kao-chan" (as So when Kimura-sensei calls her "Kao-rin," he isn't just being cute with her name, he's being cute with the "chan" honorific as well and being COMPLETELY improper which is why it is so much more offensive to her to be addressed as such by him.

-rin is not an honorific. If you think otherwise please give a reference, since I can't find one. I think you are probably thinking of -chin. Samatarou 01:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
"-rin" is not a proper honorific, just like "chin" or "chama" or other such cutesy suffix aren't. But, you want some references so...

[edit] Though highly amusing...

Isn't the section on the Yukari Mobile not NPOV? -81.104.135.154 11:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Not really. Yukari is show to be a bad driver and the care IS fairlyt dented and damaged. What is not neutral about it? (Animedude 07:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Yukari's car is not a character.

  • if a stuffed animal is a character, Yukari's car is. (Animedude 21:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
They're plot elements, and should be listed under the characters themselves as a notable aspect of that character, if they are to be listed. They're definitely not "characters" themselves. -- Ned Scott 04:18, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree about the car -- it should be discussed with Yukari herself. Nekokoneko, though, is a detail not associated with any one character; it (they?) needs to be discussed somewhere, given its popularity, but calling it a character is stretching it a bit. —Quasirandom 16:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree that neither the car nor nekokoneko are characters. The definition of a character is "(a) a person in a novel, play, etc.; (b) a part played by an actor" (OED) The second part allows the inclusion of those animals that actually have a seiyuu associated with them, but personally I think that's the absolute limit. If you're going to include inanimate objects, where does it end? You would end up including things like the penguin costume! You could, I suppose, add a section on notable props where things like nekokoneko are listed (personally I think the daddy hats are arguably at least as significant). Samatarou 01:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Well I did it (moved them to a new "notable objects" section). Basically the least that could be done, personally I would still favour dumping the car and reducing nekokoneko to a note about its recurrent appearance the mangaka's works.Samatarou 00:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Handling of character descriptions

Forgot to put a cross-reference here: I've started a discussion in the main article of the overall organization of the character descriptions. Comments there appreciated. —Quasirandom 14:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Students - intro section

The preamble to the character descriptions about the sorts of stories the girls like strikes me as trivia, unless anyone objects I am minded to delete it, it gives the wrong impression that the anime is about the girls engaging in story-telling, which is really a minor aspect of the series. Samatarou 13:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I suspect actually that's an incomplete edit, left over after a reorganization that split the characters, that didn't seem to fit anywhere else. As characterization of the girls, I think it's relevant, but we need to work it into some other place or places. —Quasirandom 16:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I've upgraded Kimura's wife to where I feel she belongs given the number of scenes which are about her, i.e. one of the senior "minor" characters. Also relegated unnamed characters to below named ones. Samatarou 14:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lines of code

For a while now I've been confused by the bit about Chiyo-chichi being "occasionally followed by lines of code". I think I've figured out what the original editor was thinking. In episode 16 (the second Culture Fest), several characters' heights appear onscreen; Chiyo-chichi is one of them, but rather than a simple number, we see a random ten-digit number beside him as he drifts by. The height stuff was a reference to Azuma's extra pages in the second tankobon, where he indicates everybody's heights. Neco-coneco gets a height of infinity and Chiyo-chichi gets 51461367522 (which doesn't show up as one of the random numbers, oddly enough). Seems to be a simple misunderstanding, so I'm removing that line -- but the story's interesting enough to mention here. ~ CZeke (talk) 06:25, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
