From the preview of the first 2 episodes aired at the London MCM Expo today, it seems the muscial score is untouched, however they mention that the opening and ending credits wernt finshed for the English version. IanC 19:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Will Oban Star racers be available on DVD? - R.G. 05:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Here is news that relates to the DVD release of OSR in the USA. Jetix Europe and Shout! Factory Announce Home Entertainment Deal. -- Gb supernova 03:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody know why none of the characters have noses? -- Jason Palpatine 05:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
The original demo, which is completely cel-shaded, doesn't have noses. It would probably have come out wrong on the cel-shader, so they decided not to have them. -- Madd the sane 06:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Lego people don't have noses either and no-one minds that :) -- samrad 14:18, 6 July 2006 (BST)
There is an alien with a nose: When Eva (aka Molly) meets the first aliens in the stadium the alien is visible for a short time on the right side of the screen (looks like a dinosaur).
I'm not an administrator but I will say that there were a lot of spoiled links on the page. Whoever wrote the page did a good job but most of the things which were meant as links don't exist here. Also on the question above, they probably don't have noses to set the animation apart from other shows. -- 24.56.235.95. July 4th 2006, at 2:27 AM (on my watch).
"The search for financing was a long process since Yeatman-Eiffel refused to negotiate with a party that would have more control than that of the creator".
However, Jetix U.S. still changed the opening theme song (they restored the ending theme, later). How does one explain that? That's defintely more control than the creator, even if just this part.
Same difference, but I'll let it be...for now.
Do you remember the 'donought' from Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon? That was censorship, but it wasn't because something was obscene. Besides, other French kids shows, like Code Lyoko, have been censored before.
Okay, the song "Waratteta", by: Sukoshi...what does "Waratteta" mean anyway? Some please tell me! It's driving me nuts!
Where can I download opening and ending songs? I can't find anywhere...
This sounds like an advertisement, or a salesman trying to sell this article/show. Somebody please make this formal sounding, like an encyclopedia, not a catalog or a magazine review. Abby724 05:14, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Every anime, show, movie, comic etc with a wiki article has trivia, so it shouldn't be removed.
"The trivia is at turns POV, original research, unsource, or just plain inane (no noses?) source what you put back in, and don't make a trivia header, please" you say. Let's take a look-see at the trivia:
So if you don't mind, A Man In Black, I'll be re-adding this section soon. 4.154.252.109 23:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed that a couple of times now very significant spoilers have appeared on this page and the episodes page. Last week, somone posted synopses of four upcoming issues. Today, I've discovered what appear to be significant spoilers in the character descriptions, particularly the background on Kanelito. I'd like to ask whomever is maintaining the article to keep a closer watch on major spoilers and be prepared to edit them back out until they have appeared in the story. - User: Doc W 05:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
There should at least be a Spoliers tag on the Characters section.... and taking out the Jordan image from the last episode may be a prudent. Though what's the proper policy regarding 'visually striking' content even within a spoiler tag? That image is accurate, verifiable, all sorts of good things that the WP:SW entry says means it shouldn't be deleted, but you can't really scroll through past the character list without noticing that. Especially since he's the only one with TWO character images. Thoughts? - EchoNull 17:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I most definitely agree. I just went to the page looking for information on the ending theme of the show, and stumbled upon that. Now the final twist has been completely blown for me, and it's a little irritating, especially since there are no spoiler tags for the character descriptions. Plus, the picture is definitely a bit much, especially since it is much more evident, given that it is placed right next to the beginning of the section.
Okay, removed the lefthand Jordan image from his bio. Any complaints... well, there's always a revert. - EchoNull 06:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
with this last 90 minute thing on toon disney is oban star racers over?
Could someone make an episode list, with links to articles like Monsterous Like Muir (Ōban Star-Racers)??? Cromulent Kwyjibo 23:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Could the article not have the episodes, displayed in chronological order,so someone researching can just find whatever episode they may have missed or can just know what events occured in that episode? user wongdai 14:25 1 April 2007
Will the summary of the plot of this ever be finished? Simply south 18:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Image:Jordanportrait.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 22:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Where is this information coming from? Not only is it unimportant, but it sounds made up. Deleting soon if I don't get any source. JeffreyAtW ( talk) 23:31, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
removed the link that was under kross subsection, was redirecting to the top of the page anyway, if some1 put it there with some reason feel free to revert it ;) Omfg rank ten guy ( talk) 17:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Voice actors do not appear to be listed. Anyone who knows any, please add them. RhoLyokoWarrior ( talk) 02:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know what dub studio dubbed Oban in English? I know that it was recorded in Airwaves Sound Design in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada, but that's all I know. Can anyone tell me who dubbed it? I thought it was Ocean Group because many of the voice actors like Paul Dobson and Kirby Morrow are from that company? HELP! T.T

I edited Ning and Skun's profile which stated they were sisters. The entire series never implies they are sisters and neither is it written in the OBS official artbook. Yeitman wrote that they are close like lovers. Nowhere in the artbook or series is it stated they are related. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.89.205.33 ( talk) 16:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
The first paragraph of the article reads as "Originally produced as a short movie titled Molly, Star-Racer and a spin-off of Lucasfilm's Star Wars franchise (the only Anime-influenced show not produced by the company)" I haven't heard this before and there isn't a citation, so I searched for a bit for one and couldn't find anything. Does anybody know where the source from this came from? HuneyTheB ( talk) 21:27, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
I don't know about you but Molly is an Asian-American, but especially Chinese. Wei is Chinese surname. 2marco4 ( talk) 19:44, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
