I've discovered that Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors (the first anime film) seems to be public domain due to a court ruling stating that all pre-1953 Japanese films are public domain. This is good news for our project, which always has a hard time with having hardly any free use images. I can't find the full film anywhere (though if anyone else can find it, that'd be great), but we can at least use screenshots of the YouTube video for various purposes.-- SeizureDog 01:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I know this might be silly to many of you, but we have a disagreement over at Tsukikage Ran. Here is why. [1].
My edits have been reverted a couple of times. I've been accused of vandalism. While my version is shorter, it's so because the prose is tighter. No worthwhile information is lost. I've also added some external links (while removing two, I admit, I don't consider that important).
If I'm wrong, which I don't think I am, I'll leave it. I don't want to get banned over a silly dispute.-- Nohansen 16:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
The "crufty details" were added today, after I posted my concern here. An example of my edits was changing
Ran Tsukikage is a female wandering ronin whose skill with the katana is only matched by her craving for sake. All we know about Ran's past (as revealed in Ep. 13) is that she was trained in the way of the sword by a samurai named Junzaburo Shiina who also gave her her first taste of sake. She often goes "wherever the wind takes her". Ran tends to describe herself as a "beautiful woman" who, when faced with a foe or foes, can be unbeatable. However, Ran is often broke (as many ronin usually are), and Meow pays for her food and sake. Ran tends to say "Utterly inexescusable!" when upset or annoyed. (113 words) to
Ran Tsukikage (月影蘭, Tsukikage Ran) is a ronin who goes "wherever the wind takes her". Ran's skill with the sword makes her nigh unbeatable, but it does not make her life any easier. She is often broke and borrowing money for food and sake. (45 words).
It's not making the article smaller, but phrasing things in a concise manner (and removing lines like "All we know about...").-- Nohansen 19:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Update: I just realized the whole article was copied from Absolute Anime. Now, I know I didn't do anything wrong by changing it.-- Nohansen 20:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
The dispute has taken a turn for the worse. Now R.G says he won't allow me to edit the article.-- Nohansen 03:51, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmm. Take a look at this, added recently by User:Crazlunatic: Anime#Influence_on_Well_Being. I reverted it - suspecting vandalism. Same user re-reverted. Noted here for consultation. KyuuA4 02:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
We should work together to get articles in sections that of our scope that have nothing to use as examples to good article status. By which I mean we should get an article on, for example, a mangaka to good article status so that in working on other mangaka articles people have something to compare to. It's hard to work on such articles when the expected structure and form is unknown. I think our first goals should be to have a mangaka and a voice actor/ seiyū article as those are two types of articles of which we have a lot of and are confusing to know which layout to use. Any suggestions on people that would have plenty of information out there to gather into an article and that are well known enough for most of our members to help out on? I suggest Clamp (manga artists) and Wendee Lee.-- SeizureDog 02:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Question: Wouldn't an "unofficial" game based on a franchise be a media equivalent of fanfic, and thus not something to be documented in an article? I'm looking at List of Azumanga Daioh media#Unofficial and want to be certain of my grounds before deleting it outright. — Quasirandom 18:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
I put the question on WP:RD/E. However it archived without clear answers. (See Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Entertainment/2007 September 30#Title of this hentai(?) manga.) So I put the question again.
I found an image: http://pds.egloos.com/pds/1/200509/19/19/b0000319_10461651.jpg. It is a Korean language edition of a manga. It looks like censored. Can you tell me what is this manga?-- JSH-alive (talk) (cntrbtns) (mail me) 07:15, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Would it be useful to have a category for manga covers? Category:Manga covers would be a child cat of Category:Comic book covers and Category:Anime and manga images (which seems to contain just series cats). Ninja neko 11:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
What is this project's stance on character articles in regard to our fiction guidelines ( WP:WAF and WP:FICT)? Those require pieces of fiction to assert themselves with real world information to exist as articles. While it may be difficult to obtain this information for some characters, most of them just don't have any. Would this be a helpful place to ask for comments when there are discussions or is there a general "all characters get articles" stance? TTN 21:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
A general Wikipedia question I can't find an answer to elsewhere: What is the etiquette of prodding for a languishing peer review request? I know canvassing for AfD discussions is Bad Ton, but what about other administrative tasks like this? — Quasirandom 22:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks guys. In that case, I'm bringing it to the appropriate wikiproject, here: I've had a peer review request out there for two weeks with no attention aside from an automated review -- which was good on mechanicals but not so helpful on next-step stuff. Anyone up for helping me out here? — Quasirandom 15:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Interesting to see her article considered for deletion. However, a quick look into her article made it obvious behind reasoning for deletion consideration. I have to ask: Is the lack of out-of-universe material starting to have a larger effect on fictional article purges? Particularly for animanga? KyuuA4 05:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi all. In the process of assessing articles for the project, I came across Gotonpō, a stub which briefly describes five paths of ninja arts based on the classic elements. Though the article does explicitly admit that these are fantasy (fictional) constructions and not true historical arts used by real ninja, it does not provide any details as to which particular media make use of this concept, nor the more important detail of where this concept originated and which manga or anime series or other media source(s) actually make use of these specific terms.
I have not formally nominated the article for deletion, but would welcome opinions and suggestions at Talk:Gotonpō. Thanks. LordAmeth 14:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Currently, two list of manga chapters, List of Claymore chapters and List of Naruto chapters (Part I) are up at WP:FLC. Given that we've never had a list of manga chapters go to FLC or become a featured list at that, this is a new format to tackle as versus the dozen or so anime episode lists we currently have as FLs. At the nominations ( Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Claymore chapters and Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Naruto chapters (Part I)), the primary concerns brought up was a need for the release dates of individual chapters. While I was able to acquire the volume dates while constructing the lists, acquiring each individual chapter date is something a little beyond me, namely finding a source that would provide this. That said, a possible format for incorporating this is also necessary. I would greatly appreciate aid with this, seeing as this could set a precedent as well as an example for future lists of the same type, especially considering that there are lots of them. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 00:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I updated the Newtype USA topic pages so there are spaces for every issue that just need to be filled in. Anyone who has these issues is encouraged to fill them in. I also added information for two more issues while I was doing the update. (^_^) ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Shinigami (Bleach) is up for deletion. Please discuss it on its AFD page. dposse 16:34, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I think these are pretty common, but I still need some help here, thanks.
Thanks for the answer!-- Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 16:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
There is now a proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Animation for a project which would deal specifically with all articles related to animation, be they television, movie, web, or what have you. Any interested parties are encouraged to indicate their support there. Thank you. John Carter 21:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
As a result of the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Dixon (fictional character), I've tagged all the articles in Category:Robotech characters with a proposal to merge them into List of Robotech characters. As they stand, practically none of them could survive a challenge on WP:FICT grounds, and only one of them, that I saw, actually aserted any sort of notability; several are tagged for cleanup issues. This way, someone who knows the series and cares can combine the encyclopedic information into one place before things get deleted for cause in, probably, a few months. — Quasirandom 01:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
That's another thing to look at here. The categories. As expected, it's set up to have Macross and Robotech separate, as sub-trees, to a single "Macross and Robotech" category. KyuuA4 18:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Wikipe-tan full length. Just to notify the interested parties. Personally, I expected this already. But now I could care less. _dk 11:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
At the risk of someone yelling WP:CANVASS at me, everyone should definitely go over there and comment to keep this bullshit delisting from happening. Users who have been watching over these images and related pages well know the common misconception about Wikipe-tan being a violation of WP:SELF, which couldn't be further from the truth. Then there's the accusation that it holds no encyclopedic value, even though it's an excellent example of anime, moé, and a bunch of other stuff, and often the only free image we have for those articles. I can't help but feel this is an attack of the Wikipe-tan haters, and Wikipe-tan now needs your help. -- Ned Scott 23:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Over the years, I've seen multiple mangaka mention PSME and Hiwatari as a strong, and sometimes the strongest, influence. It would be good to collect a list of these, for adding to the Reception section of Please Save My Earth. If people were to note any they see on the talk page, I'd appreciate it. — Quasirandom 20:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi guys, I noticed some Dragonball AFDs today and started copying over huge amounts of anime articles to a new wiki I admin on Fancruft.net I've copied thousands of articles but I'm looking for some anime project editors to help me port some of the wiki templates regularly used for anime / manga. Image uploads that match up to existing articles are also a huge help.
Anyone interest, please give me a hand and hit up my talk page on Fancruft.-- Torchwood Who? 14:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Was randomly looking for some odd and end to do when I found the article needing copyedit notice in your project page.

I think I've been here on this WikiProject once before. I'd like to introduce Category:Chinese mythology in anime and manga — does anyone know of any aside from Dragon Ball manga? I think the creator of Spirited Away had Chinese elements in some of his stories but I'm not 100% certain. Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 04:44, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I have categorized Saiyuki (manga), The Twelve Kingdoms, Giant Robo (OVA), Fushigi Yūgi, and Dragon Ball (anime). Can we confirm that Saint Seiya, Ranma ½, Sailor Moon and Miyazaki's Spirited Away be included as well? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 20:25, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
