English titles

I’ve always wondered about the English titles, what is the (con)census for them?; when official English titles exist I guess they are used, but before/other than that, are the fansub translations, free translations, or other translations used?

For example, episode 31 is titled “迷子のミランダ” Maigo no Miranda. Previously the English title said “Miranda’s Lost Child” (which rather, as far as I know, should be “ミランダの迷子” Miranda no maigo) and now “Lost Child, Miranda”. If it’s just free translations then a title such as “Miranda the Lost Child” is yet another possibility.

Well, I’m just a bit confused about what’s the rule/census/concensus/norm. A bit of clarity would surely make me grateful. Kess 20:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would guess that whoever edits the article on any given day is probably either using their own personal translation or a translation from a fansub. It's unfortunate, but this is the case with nearly all series that aren't officially licensed or necessarily "reliably" translated. That said, getting the "gist" of the name is more important, rather than worrying about phrasing or synonyms or making a more elegant translation. I would personally translate that as, "The Lost Child, Miranda," but it doesn't really matter, because it means the same thing as, "Miranda, the Lost Child."

Who the hell put bye bye Suman on episode 55

This has nothing to do with the description of the episode and should be removed immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.239.224 (talk) 03:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seasons?

Should I (or someone) split the episodes into seasons? I know the anime hasn't been going on for very long, but still, scrolling down 72 episodes with no real form of categorization whatsoever is an eye killer, and the episode list is only going to get longer. I don't mean splitting the episode page into multiple separate pages like Bleach has done; just doing something like, for example, The Prince of Tennis or Blood+ would be fine. Just a thought-- Erynne Lasgalen (talk) 02:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is an official source for season divisions available? If so, sounds like a good idea to me. Collectonian (talk) 07:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of any official source, but I think the easiest way to divide the episodes is by opening theme song (e.g. the Blood+ episode list). That way there'll be three chunks of 20-something episodes each, as well as the ongoing section. Erynne Lasgalen (talk) 04:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would work too. Collectonian (talk) 05:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've had this draft sitting in my userspace for eternity :p Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 05:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, nice head start :) Collectonian (talk) 05:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clear it up

I'm realizing that a few of these episodes are a bit unclear and confusing. At least for me. Especially episode 69 "Invasion", for some reason. It took several tries for me to understand that one. It could be me. I notice a few of them make tense changes. itzjustdrama still new to this (talk) 19:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on gradually correcting the episode summaries--mainly on improving content relevance, correcting tense shifts, correcting basic spelling/grammar, and deleting random opinions. It's mainly a matter of keeping it a summary and not making it a blow-by-blow account of the episode. Erynne Lasgalen (talk) 04:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correspondent Manga Chapter

Who took away that thing that informed us of wether an episode was filler (original plot) or canon (telling us what the corresponding manga chapter was) and why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.241.163.185 (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't belong here. Collectonian (talk) 21:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see why it shouldn't be here, but anyway, can someone tell me where I might be able to find that info? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.241.173.40 (talk) 21:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We don't put that kind of information in anime episode/chapter articles other than giving a general overview in the introduction if it is not based on the entire body of work. Might check fansites, or ask in an anime forum. Collectonian (talk) 00:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think that the list should have two pages?

I think the list is too long. If two parts, we can add more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frontier950 (talk • contribs) 2:17, May 14, 2008 (UTC)

Is it too long? Yes, and it should probably be split, as appropriate, once a final episode sound is known, and an appropriate way of splitting the list determined. Will splitting mean you can add more information? No. The plot summaries are already pushing their limits, and splitting it will not give free reign to make them longer. The only thing splitting will do is make the list more manageable in terms of page size/length. Collectonian (talk) 13:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I edited some things up

First, I erased the freaking long description of before, well if you want cleaning take off that meaningless info about the openings and endings, that really isn't supposed to be here, it's already at its respective section.

Second, I added again the manga chapters which where originally added by me, it's really insultive taking off my aport, that took me ages watching every single episode and checking every chapter, so I wrote it all again and added the missing manga chapter tags to the recent chapters, even the one aired yesterday.

Please don't erase it, it's helpful information and It doesn't take too much space. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.77.225.72 (talk) 03:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but no. Its been undone as you are wrong on both accounts. Its already been discussed above. The themes info does belong here, as you can see if you look at any featured episode list. It is part of any proper episode list, and I've left you a warning for removing it. And no, it is not in its "respective section" it is here and here alone. The manga chapters do not belong in the episode list at all, again as you will see if you look at our featured list. This is the consensus of the anime and manga project here and many featured lists. Wikipedia is not the place for your original research. Do not readd it as you will just continue to be wasting effort as it will continue to be removed. It does not belong here, period. -- [[::User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[::User talk:Collectonian|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Collectonian|contribs]]) 03:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

- Well, seems that please and thanks doesn't work anymore .__.

Then, summaries aren't original research too? none of those are official, they're written by people who watch, they're anything but short as the tag says really. I'm not doing a manga chapter list, I ADDED IT RELATING the anime episode at the respective source, which can be more accurate than a summary, a person can check the number and then check the original source.

It's not a thing of belongs or not, the info you put must be helpful for someone. Well, airdates are helpful? they were just copied and pasted from other sources and don't make a particular difference.

The opening and ending info format is wrong, works better as a LIST, more intuitive.
