[edit] circumflexes

i think thats the right word. anyway, i thought all wikis were to drop circumflexes and instead either just use the single letter or letter+u, Like Tarō being Taro or Tarou. most people dont use the circumflex when they search wikipedia which is why i thought it was dropped. --208.71.219.193 (talk) 05:15, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Related Chinese Story

This would be a good reference if I could find anything on it. There was an old Chinese story that translated into "The Flowering Peach Tree" about a man who follows a woman into the mountains & lives there for what he feels is a short time, but he gets lonely for his family & leaves & his wife (the lady he followed) told him he could never return because that place could only be found once. He returns home to discover his friends & family long dead. I can't remember how it ended. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 23:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Love Hina connection

When Keitaro brought Mutsumi Otohime back to her house he recieved an gift from her. Which was an box with an turtle in it, but he had to open it on the way home.

[edit] Cowboy Bebop

In My Funny Valentine, I believe, Jet told the story to Ed towards the beginning of the episode. In a meta-sense, it symbolized Faye's life. So the Cowboy Bebop mention is accurate, but I have no idea how to cite it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.67.168.4 (talk) 17:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC).
