Anime Trending Awards

Are the Anime Trending Awards by anitrendz.net listed in A Place Further than the Universe, Vinland Saga and Weathering with You a worth to mention award? I can't find a secondary or a reliable source referring to it. Should it be kept or removed? - Xexerss (talk) 22:37, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

I'd remove them. They don't seem to be notable. lullabying (talk) 06:43, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Tiger Mask II

A short description about this anime is reported in Tiger Mask. Can you create its own page? Thank you. --79.17.233.106 14:57, 2 March 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.17.233.106 (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.17.233.106 (talk)

Vash's actors

I have been trying to clean up the article Vash the Stampede but the creation sections seems to be quite small for such a famous character. Same with the voice actors Onosaka and Bosch, even though the latter became famous due to Trigun. By any chance have you found any article that might have commentaries from the actors? Might help a lot to the article.Tintor2 (talk) 21:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Anime News Network

Removing ANN as a reliable source is going to impact a lot of articles if it is decided upon. Please join in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources#Anime News Network. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:10, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Princess Mononoke GA nomination

Hi! I nominated Princess Mononoke back in December but didn't participate in the process as I'm kinda new to this and not quite familiar with it. Could someone please help out? would be much appreciated! Regards, QuestFour (talk) 04:29, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Digimon Adventure (2020 TV series)

I've been redirecting Digimon Adventure (2020 TV series) to Digimon Adventure due to a lack of information and sources as the article seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON, but I've had my redirects reverted twice. lullabying (talk) 15:58, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Try leaving notes in common areas where the articles might be redirected or if not, simply form a talk page. Still, if the series starts in early April, there is the character of Shueisha revealing stuff about the anime through news before March ends.Tintor2 (talk) 21:31, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

WP:TOOSOON, and more specifically WP:CRYSTAL, is for events far in the future, not for something like this premiering next month. So the article should stand as is.--十八 21:56, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks for your input. lullabying (talk) 04:15, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Yasuhiro Nightow's characters

After creating Beyond the Grave (Gungrave) and Leonardo Watch in the past weeks, I've been wonder if it might be possible to create a category for all of Nightow's character articles since Trigun also has a character list three articles although I think Legato might not pass notability. Any suggestions? I'm new to categories so maybe it's better to discuss than being bold.Tintor2 (talk) 21:29, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

BTW, I found that Grave is voiced by Kirk Thornton here but I can't find a reliable source that proves that. Even the reviewers from Anime News Network not mention his Thorton's name despite talking about him during the reviews.Tintor2 (talk) 15:50, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

The Seven Deadly Sins anime infobox

Should The Seven Deadly Sins anime series' infobox count all seasons as a single anime series instead of splitting each one despite having different titles, like Gin Tama or is there a particular reason to have them splitted? Same question for Hajime no Ippo - Xexerss (talk) 13:52, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

One entry in the infobox for the series should be enough.Blue Pumpkin Pie ^{Chat Contribs} 15:49, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma might be good example for this. -- Lord Yeager (talk) 08:24, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

My Hero Academia categories addition

Yumetori has been adding some categories to My Hero Academia including Category:Japan–South Korea relations, Category:China–Japan relations, Category:Anti-Chinese sentiment in Asia, Category:Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan, Category:Anti-Japanese sentiment in China and Category:Anti-Japanese sentiment in South Korea. All these related to the controversy of a character's name referencing Unit 731. I think these categories are far too general for this controversy and Category:Works banned in China and Category:Television censorship in China are enough to allude to this incident or are these categories really justified? - Xexerss (talk) 03:47, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

I think Category:Works banned in China is an acceptable category, but the other categories seem to add WP:UNDUE weight to the controversy. lullabying (talk) 04:14, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

I have referred to 我的英雄學院 on Wikipedia (Chinese). If these categories are not suitable, it is OK to remove them. After all, 僕のヒーローアカデミア on Wikipedia (Japanese) does not mention the controversy. KONNO Yumeto 05:19, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Merge proposal of Shugo Chara! articles

I opened a discussion at Talk:List of Shugo Chara! soundtracks#Merger proposal to merge Shugo Chara Egg! and Guardians 4 to List of Shugo Chara! soundtracks. Your opinion is heavily appreciated. lullabying (talk) 03:54, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Is Draft:Euphoria (visual novel) becomes too long?

I am not even half way through, and suspect that even in its current state the article will be viciously pruned by other editors. Can anyone give a feedback regarding this? (inb4 sources remarks, the sourcing will be executed as last stage). אילן שמעוני (talk) 11:31, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding an article to the project

Honkai Impact 3rd seems to be of more than sufficient anime content to be included in this project. How can it be considered? (Where do I submit it for approval to being added to the project?) DriftWrench2k (talk) 02:14, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

DriftWrench2k, I don't see where it fits in the scope of this project. Its print version is a manhua, which is part of the "we do not cover" item "Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on or are similar to Japanese media in terms of content or form (such as Chinese animation, Korean animation, manhwa, manhua and Western manga-styled comics such as Gothic Sports and Peach Fuzz)." AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:04, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

AngusWOOF That is a useful point; I had read the item "Video games related to anime or manga are under a shared scope with WikiProject Video games;" and made the assumption that it would be covered under that note. However, I would disagree that the point you made entirely fits the game itself; while the article may not (yet) do the best to explain the game as such, the game is produced for consumption both within and outside of Japan, and the game itself is in the anime style, not to mention that the general target audience is consumers of anime and the intent of the game seems to be made for "otaku"s (the company that created and is updating the game even has the slogan of "Technical Otakus Save the World" for this game). I would agree that the spin-off media may not fit the definition of being notable for this project, but from what I have seen and played of the game, I would think that the game would fit the scope of this project. Then again, I admittedly haven't read much examples (yet) of what is and is not accepted, so this is only my suggestion, and I'll have to defer to others' judgement. I would recommend checking out the game before deciding, though. Also, if this game is, in fact, outside of the scope of the project, are there any groups that would be recommended to suggest this game be added to? DriftWrench2k (talk) 16:53, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
