This pages's head paragraph needs to be entirely rewritten to conform to Wikipedia MoS. What the hell is "mermaid saga"? THAT'S what we want to know in the first paragraph. Turly-burly 04:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Could the boy from only one episode be the illustration for the whole Saga?
The "trivia" section said that the character Natsume was named for the video game company which sponsored the episode. This is incorrect. The character debuted in the manga in 1992, well over a decade before the episode was adapted for television. Therefore it is impossible for the character to be named after the company. It is merely a coincidence. HarleyAcres 02:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this really necessary? The main, supporting, and minor characters are the only ones who typically have their VAs listed. -- BrokenSphere Msg me 03:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
It doesn't look like this page has had much activity lately other than edits to the character descriptions. It was over a year ago that someone was going to add episode summaries. Would there be any objection to me adding them over the next few weeks? I'd definitely keep them pretty short. I don't intend to write book reports on them. Maybe "descriptions" would be a better word. For example, I'd replace the current episode 1 summary with something like:
As the first edits go in, I've made the summaries longer than I intended, but I based them on the length of those in Featured Pages. Also, as for the Japanese airdates, the only reference I can find is ANN. I know there's an effort to cut down references to another encyclopedia, particularly ANN. ANN cites the English Geneon Mermaid Forest site as its source. The current site is just a big Flash animation which doesn't have that info and which doesn't look like it's changed since inception. (It'll probably go off-the-air, too, once Geneon's DNS registration for it expires.) The wayback machine on archive.org is no help on it, but it is better for the official Japanese sites, which also appear never to have had the airdates on them. -- Unready ( talk) 08:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
There are only 3 original Japanese manga volumes in the Mermaid series, why on earth does this article claim there are 4? If there are 4 volumes in the series for some other language translation, that's fine (mention this separately), but it needs to be made clear that the ORIGINAL series consists of only 3 volumes. I'll give the person who added "yume no owari" (dream's end) as a volume a chance to move it. The original three volumes were titled "ningyo no mori" "ningyo no kizu" and "yasha no hitomi" (mermaid's forest, mermaid's scar, and spirit's eye). I'll check back later and do it myself if the original person doesn't want to correct their error. -- NatsukiGirl\ talk
