I added a Plot Synopsis. I ask people with objections to please revise rather than to revert the entire thing, as some Wikipedians are prone to do. Thanks a lot. The length is not considered too long, I am sure. Take a look at the Breaking Bad Season Synopses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad_(season_2), or the Synopsis for The Deluge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deluge_(novel) for longer synopses that editors have approved in the past. -- 108.31.26.88 ( talk) 05:59, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
Not a complete list, but I decided to list down some because I noticed there were some mistakes on the main page (eg. Shun turned into a Gouma, not an Akki). I don't watch the English subbed anime so I'm just piecing up what I think might be appropriate English names.
Amazon jp is listing several versions of this novel, each with a different subtitle: Above, Middle, and Under. [1] Is this indicative that this is a novel series? Also, I noticed what appears to be a manga adaption in the results as well. — Farix ( t | c) 01:44, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

It was mentioned that's Maria and Mamoru's child, who was reared to be an Ogre/Akki, had been a boy in the novel and changed to a girl in the anime in the Characters section. However, in the Episode List summaries, it was mentioned that the child was a "he". More, in the anime itself, it is impossible to figure out if the child is actually female or male. So which gender is that Ogre/Akki?-- ZigZagZoug ( talk) 19:23, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I am currently reviewing this article and the episode summaries and am having trouble accepting the terminology "Monster Rats" for the creatures evolved from the combination of humans and mole-rat DNA. I can find no appropriate reference in English for the Japanese terms "化けネズミ / バケネズミ", Bakenezumi in Romanji which is roughly translated as "Alien Mouse". I can find no authoritative reference in English of them being referred to as "Monster Rats". Given that the creatures are smaller than humans, less powerful, are subjugated by humans and not evolved from rats, the term "Monster Rats" seems like an inappropriate translation. In the subtitled Anime I have watched they are referred to exclusively as "Queerats" and this term is more commonly used in online fora (forums).
Additionally, in the anime the "psychic abilities" or "psychokinetic powers" are referred to as "Cantus" which I also propose to uses in the episode summaries.
I welcome any references or evidence either way. Ozflashman ( talk) 05:58, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
