[edit] Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

I think the Gundam SEED and the Gundam SEED Destiny were big anime franchises. Should a userbox for one or both of them be created, or maybe userboxes for fans of the characters? Musicalmelodygirl 02:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] saikano

can anyone make a saikno userbox?(most romantic anime of 2002) --saikano 20:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lupin III userbox

How would I have a Lupin III userbox added to the list of other Anime userboxes for people to use? I would like to use the face of Lupin III for the userbox pic. Thanks.

Wiki Raja 22:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

As for adding Lupin's face on the userbox; you can't. Copyrighted pics are not allowed in userboxes. - 上村七美 | talk 07:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dub vs. Sub

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but I was wondering if someone would make userboxes for people who prefer watching subtitled anime and for those who prefer dubbed anime, if they don't exist already. I'm getting ready to load up my user page and I'd like to have a box that states my anime-viewing preference. Thanks ;-P SailorAlphaCentauri 16:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Better late than never - I created 1 each for dub/sub preferences, and a 3rd for those who don't need either to watch. --BrokenSphere 18:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mew Mew userboxes...

I've met this person, who's known as Yume no Kishi, and I've kinda convinced her to make some Tokyo Mew Mew userboxes (or Mew Mew Power or whatever the nonsense you call it.) Anyway, can you add her stuff to the list? Thanks! -- Going a bit crazy, Addict 2006 16:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Codes: {{user TMM fan}} {{user DNA}} {{user mew mew}} --Addict 2006 16:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm only asking whoever runs this because I'm not a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and Manga. --Kinda crazy, Addict 2006 16:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mamotte! Lollipop

Is there one for Mamotte! Lollipop mabye saying this user swallowed the crystal pearl ♥Eternal Pink-ready for love♥ 22:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request New User Box

hey I was wondering if i can request a userbox of Ichigo 100% thanks much!Maverick423 15:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I made a Planetes box

Can I add it to the list? I'm not sure how many other Planetes fans there are here, but I figured I'd mention it since I made it for myself. Leebo ^T/C 05:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Y DoneI've worked out how this new boxe to the list. Astronaut 18:13, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{User YGOTAB}}

Isn't this userbox disallowed by Wikipedia's copyright policies, since it links to videos that constitute a copyright violation? I'll try to figure out who added it and contact them. Leebo ^T/C 21:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another userbox

I made a userbox to link to My Anime profile at Anime News Network, and I formatted it so you can put your ANN username in and it will link there. The text you add looks like this: {{User:Leebo/Userboxes/ANN|YOUR ANN USERNAME}}. If you don't put your username in, it will look like this:

And with my username in it:

I have no idea if anyone would actually use it, but hey, it's available. Leebo ^T/C 17:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Haibane Renmei

I don't think there is a userbox for this anime series. There should be. Let me know what you think. Simmaren 16:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The following userboxes are more interesting but may not reproduce correctly on computers not set up to handle Japanese characters. Simmaren 01:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The problem has been fixed. These should now be fine on all platforms. Simmaren 01:59, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Here are two more in the same vein. Simmaren 19:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cowboy Bebop

I'm a little surprised that there aren't more userboxes for this Anime. Anyways, I created another one. Maegereg 01:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I remember there being more anime userboxes, but I forget where I found them. Anyway, I'll use your box for the time being! :) Can someone make a Trigun userbox that's unisex? The only one I can find says "This user wants HIS $$6,000,000,000." Thanks again! ForestAngel 10:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Samurai Champloo

The current userbox for samurai champloo (this user wants to take all you bitches on) is phrased incorrectly. Mugen's comment is "I'll take all you bitches on", therefore "wants to" is wrong. I also think the ID box is uninteresting. So here it is: an alternative for those who want it. Maegereg 21:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

You could go and edit that userbox's wording so that it's more accurate. Probably better than contacting the creator since they haven't made a contribution since last November. --BrokenSphere 21:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ideon

I've been meaning to add a Userbox for Ideon and this is what I put together:

I attempted a very lame Ide Gauge but it wouldn't show up when sized down. The image itself is [here].

This was an idea for the design I had:

Sevds 15:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

The problem you are facing should be simple, the lines are too narrow and when sized down, they became less than 1 pixel, thus not showing up in the user box. An easy way to counter this problem is to make a smaller sized one(So it does not have to be sized down.) MythSearcher^talk 18:16, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is extremely easy to create, so I have created one and should be the size for user boxes. If you are interested in the series, add it to the main article, too, or it will be deleted later since it is really not contributing much to the encyclopedia part. (I have added comment on why I have uploaded the file in the image page. MythSearcher^talk 18:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

So I tried it and this is what I ended up with:

I think it looks pretty good. I'll add it to the encyclopedia part and see what everyone thinks. Thanks

[edit] Catting

Do you think we have enough series userboxes to warrant an anime subcat of Category:Television series fan user templates? Shiroi Hane 00:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rozen Maiden

There should be a Rozen Maiden userbar. I have no idea how to make one, but it should have the phrase "This user will wind." or something of the sort.

[edit] WIkiProject userboxes

For WikiProjects such as Evangelion, can userboxes for the Project itself be listed here, or do those need to be kept on the Portal page or Project page? Willbyr (talk | contribs) 15:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] fushigi yugi

You guys hit most of my favorite series: Fruits Basket, Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits.... what about Fushigi Yugi? I looove Miaka and Tamahome! I've read nearly all the manga and watched some of the anime.... send me a talk message when someone has finished making one, thanks! :)

Victoria uni 05:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Five are up in the page. Take your pick! - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 11:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

thanks! I made one myself, too. :) Victoria uni 06:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Network userboxes

Hello all, I've created a couple of userboxes for networks on which anime airs. The pickings are rather slim at the moment – only Adult Swim and Sci Fi Channel's Ani-Monday and Anime on Tuesday; however, anyone else is welcome to update the templates in question (particularly when it comes to colors) and create new ones. The templates are shown below:

Code	Result	Users
{{User:Dinoguy1000/UBX/Watches adult swim anime}}	[as] This user watches anime on [adult swim].	Transclusions
{{User:Dinoguy1000/UBX/Watches scifi anime}}	Ani-HUH? This user watches anime on Sci Fi Channel's Ani-Monday and Anime on Tuesday blocks.	Transclusions

Enjoy! —Dinoguy1000 21:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

It could also be better is you made "User:Dinoguy1000/UBX/Watches adult swim anime" userbox modifiable. For example, say the original is "{{Anime Userbox}}". Users may add Adult Swim like this, "{{Anime Userbox|Adult Swim}}" to get "This user watches anime on [Adult Swim]" message or add Ani-Monday like this, "{{Anime Userbox|Ani-Monday}}" to get "This user watches anime on Ani-Monday" etc. Just giving you suggestions.. --Sτaκa 21:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, the main problem with that is the colors and ID box... After you got parameters for controlling all of these things, you would end up with the need for "wrapper" templates so that whoever transcluded them wouldn't need to worry about all that stuff, and that would ultimately defeat the purpose of one template. In the end, it's actually simpler to have seperate templates for each network, and it also makes sense because the various anime and manga series also use their own individual templates. —Dinoguy1000 23:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I just think you're either lazy or don't know how to. Anyways, I guess individual userboxes would be simpler. You should put these two userboxes to the main Userboxes/Anime page so more people can recognize it. --Sτaκa 23:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting the Anime Page

This page is getting long. Should we split it? And if we split it, how can we name the separate pages? - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 10:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New section

Would anyone be opposed to giving Cardcaptor Sakura its own section? Right now there's only one userbox on the page for that series, but I've got five more that I was planning to add to the list. Before I did anything I was wondering if anyone would be bothered by creating a Cardcaptor Sakura section for them all instead of leaving all six userboxes in the "other anime" section.3loodlust (talk) 16:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Go for it. BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 16:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know (not that I'm claiming much), there aren't any rules stopping you from creating sections here where you see it necessary. If you should accidentally make a change you shouldn't have, someone else will undo it for you. —Dinoguy1000 17:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Just remember that series sections should be in alphabetical order. Main sections such as those ones above the Bleach section doesn't have to be in alphabetical, but in most important order..--staka 18:09, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Networks and programming blocks section

Hey all, I direct your attention to the section Networks and programming blocks on the project page, which currently has three different userboxes (Bionix, Adult Swim, and Sci-Fi). I'd be quite grateful if someone could make userboxes for more networks (including IFC, Animax, and maybe some of the Japanese or other Asian networks), and also work on the color schemes for the boxes – it seems to me it would work best if each box's scheme matched the general feel of the network or programming block it's for, à la the Adult Swim userbox. —Dinoguy1000 18:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll start creating most of the Japanese networks. By the way, YTV's Bionix is probably the only network in Canada with anime. This page isn't for cartoons.. is it? And should we make one saying, "This user watches anime online." or no? --staka 20:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Alright, cool. This page is for anime specifically, not animation (cartoons) in general. And I was actually thinking something very similar. —Dinoguy1000 21:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

You forgot to make a WOWOW userbox, that channel airs anime on late nights. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 05:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I said, "most of the Japanese networks." You can help creating any missed networks, and also other networks possibly from Europe as well. --staka 15:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Can someone create userboxes for European networks? --staka (T ・C) 13:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, I'm from Asia, and I've included an userbox for an anime channel in the Philippines (which is why the userbox text is in Filipino.) - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 13:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

While the userboxes say, for example with FujiTV, "This user usually watches anime on FujiTV", should it be changed to "This user usually watches anime broadcasted on FujiTV"? I doubt that a lot of people on English Wikipedia watch anime on television espicially when they are broadcasted in Japan. So broadcasted.. they could be watching broadcasted anime from FujiTV online. --staka (T ・C) 03:09, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anime obsessed

For all those studying or have studied for exams and can't fight the urge to watch anime:

--nyoro~! Highwind888 (talk) 04:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Speaking from experience? --BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 04:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Definitely. --nyoro~! Highwind888 (talk) 04:59, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] And manga?

Something I haven't been able to puzzle out is why this page's name doesn't include "manga" in some capacity. Obviously, the pages scope extends to manga (unless I'm missing something), and there isn't a similar Wikipedia:Userboxes/Manga page... So are there any comments concerning renaming this page to include "manga"? —Dinoguy1000 18:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Probably because most if not all the anime here was adopted from a manga, if you can think of examples of manga that have not been adapted into anime. If it is not a long list then a separate manga page really isn't necessary. There are 2 manga-only sections in the list, manga smileys and manga magazines. BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 18:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't actually suggesting that we start a seperate manga-only page, only pointing out that, as far as I could tell, there doesn't seem to be one. My actual suggestion was to rename this page to something that mentions both anime and manga (and while we're on the subject, what about manhwa, manhua, and OEL manga? Would these fit in on this page, or is it along the lines of the scope of WP:ANIME?). —Dinoguy1000 16:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Raise it on the project's talk page, you'll get a wider audience. BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 16:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I know a few. Most notable is AI Love You, Ken Akamatsu's first manga work. Ironically, it still hasn't been animated yet, while his other works have (i.e. Love Hina, Itsudatte My Santa!, and Negima). There is also a userbox for Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden, which hasn't been animated yet. All other FY userboxes link back to FY itself. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 23:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Some animes are based on novels as well.. many of those midnight anime shows are. If manga will be created then light novels could also be created.. or merge it as /Manga and novel.. maybe. --staka (T ・C) 01:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename to include "manga"

As you may have seen above, back in March I started a discussion concerning the fact that this page's name only mentions anime. The discussion didn't really go anywhere, so at this time I'd like to resurrect it with the proposal of renaming this page to Wikipedia:Userboxes/Anime and manga, in order to reflect the page's actual scope, and to bring it in line with the names of the various WP:ANIME project pages. If there are no complaints, I'll go ahead and move the page in a week or so. —Dinoguy1000 19:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

That would be better than just a separate article on just Manga related userboxes. Well after you move it, be sure to fix links from "/Anime" to "/Anime and manga".. such as in the Template:WP:UBS or any other templates. --staka (T ・C) 21:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you raise this issue on the project's talk page? You will get more feedback than by just posting here. BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 21:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. I meant to do it to begin with, but ran short of time. —Dinoguy1000 18:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Strongly support. No reason to have a separate page of manga userboxes. Anime and manga are too closely tied together for that. It would be good to have the page reflect the same name as our project and the portal. Collectonian (talk) 18:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Support. Good idea. --Masamage ♫ 18:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Support Per above reasons. Fox816 (talk) 19:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Support - I should have said something the last time you brought it up, but I forgot. --Eruhildo (talk) 21:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Support - the page has manga-specific boxes, after all. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't see any opposition (I would have been extremely surprised if I had), so I'll go ahead and move the page now, instead of waiting out the week. —Dinoguy1000 16:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
