Welcome to WikiProject Anime and manga, a WikiProject that aims to improve anime and manga related articles by normalizing the standards for, and expanding Wikipedia's coverage of, such articles.
- 2008-06-03 - Jump Square is delisted as a Good Article.
- 2008-06-01 - Tokyo Mew Mew is put up for peer review; Fullmetal Alchemist is put up for peer review
- 2008-05-29 - Beelzebub is delisted as a Good Article after changed to redirect.
[edit] Scope
WikiProject Anime and manga's scope includes all media, persons, organizations and fandom substantially related to such franchises. This includes international subjects necessary for comprehensive coverage of the core topics.
- Anime, including OVAs and animated films;
- Manga and light novels, including serials, such as Young King OURs, and collected volumes;
- Media belonging to the same franchises as the above, including video games, visual novels, live action versions, audio dramas, soundtracks, and stage shows and musicals (such as Bleach (musical) or Tenimyu);
- Video games related to anime or manga are under a shared scope with WikiProject Video games;
- Visual novels related to anime or manga are under a shared scope with the Visual novels task force;
- Notable characters, episodes, issues, and merchandise of the above media;
- Directors (e.g. Hayao Miyazaki) and mangaka (such as Rumiko Takahashi) and other notable production staff;
- Japanese publishers and production studios (e.g., Shonen Gahosha and Gainax) and international distributors (such as ADV Films and Funimation);
- Notable Japanese or international publications and websites meant for review and commentary of anime or manga (such as Newtype or Anime News Network);
- Voice actors, Japanese or international, whose principal work is in anime and whose roles are generally notable (such as Takehito Koyasu or Jessica Calvello); and
- Major aspects of fandom: including conventions (e.g., Comiket or Otakon), terminology and concepts such as otaku, and other practices.
Although its scope is broad, this project maintains an essential focus on media meant primarily for consumption in Japan. Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on Japanese media in terms of content or form (such as Chinese animation, Korean animation, manhua, Megatokyo, and Peach Fuzz) regrettably do not fall under our scope. Nor do media, particularly video games, in which anime or manga characters make incidental or out-of-context appearances.
