I recently viewed the article of Reincarnated as a Sword. I saw that there was a controversy under it, and wondered "What controversy?" and then saw that it had a reference to the website, Sankaku Complex, and I removed it stating that "Sankaku Complex isn't a reliable source". Sankaku Complex is a site that reports on anime, mostly hentai, and they're also known for being critical of translators who translate the term "lolicon" to "pedophile". Now I see that Sankaku Complex isn't mentioned at all on the Online reliable sources page. Do we add them to the page? and where exactly? SimonLagann ( talk) 21:30, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

I've searching for information for the upcoming anime Revenger (TV series) but the only interview I found is in Japanese here. Sadly, even with a translation I can't understand what are the director and writer saying so if somebody is experienced with Japanese, I would appreciate help expanding the production section.

This time, it is a user with a clear conflict of interest who, due to his openly right-wing views, is trying to remove or protest the indication of criticism of capitalism in the show, as it causes him to protest as an attempt to "claim communist propaganda in the show."] The user has already been warned multiple times for an edit war in other articles, mostly political and cultural, so I don't think this will end quickly. Previously, he just tacitly reverted his edits, ignoring clarifications from me, now he re-reverted his edits, citing the formal need to support statements with footnotes, ignoring that the mentioned is already contained in interviews with the creators and can even be seen directly in the show itself. Although judging by his answers, I generally doubt that he watched it (he also tries to deny such intentions by saying that Bamco is a large corporation, which is generally quite ironic for anyone who lives in the same world as Disney). I just don’t know what to do with this article anymore, this is the fourth edit war in the last month or two. Maybe even protect her until people's enthusiasm subsides?

Hello! Well, I'll be going to sleep after putting out this message, but I wanted to ask if there are any Japanese articles on Kensho Ono about anything related to Giorno, since he voiced the character. I never knew any ounce of the Japanese language making it impossible for me to search for them, not to mention I don't know any notable Japanese websites, so I want to ask if you know such articles existing since I'm still writing Giorno's draft.

Some time ago, I got help with accessing a review of the manga Crossplay Love from the German magazine Animania. I've recently been made aware of the existence of another German manga/anime magazine, Koneko, which I think could also contain coverage of that same series due to it having gotten a German release (under the title Anziehend anders). I have already reached out to the publisher to ask if they've covered the manga, but haven't received any response. If it exists, I would very much like to use it in that article.
Is anyone here able to access to this magazine - possibly through your library - and able to check if there exists any relevant coverage? The manga premiered in Germany in April 2022, so you would likely only have to look at issues around #109 (Mar/Apr 2022) for this.

There is an ongoing discussion on Talk:List of A Certain Magical Index characters (scroll down to the bottom of the page) about whether Shirai Kuroko should be a standalone article.

The eastern pipeline is very crazy when it comes to how a show should work. Apparently I learned that storyboard artist have more power than directors in the East. Some anime love crediting so much animation directors which is insane and there are art directors at Toei Animation, thus different styles depending on episodes. I have discussed this issue with some other users before and I do like to hear thoughts from others. BaldiBasicsFan ( talk) 01:11, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
I don't really know what's going on and I dont feel like rereading the conversation, but I think it's just circumstantial depending on the credits themselves. For REC, I added the animation directors under the notion that I could just list Yoshida's writing credit and Nakamura's storyboard credit (which he did across the whole series by himself) in the prose. And since each episode only had 1-3 animation directors, it didn't crowd the space with too much information or make the table look bad. In the case of RWBY: Ice Queendom, although Ubukata wrote all of the episodes himself, one of the episodes had up to 10 animation directors, so I thought it wouldn't be worth doing so for the sake of readability. Other older cases like Mahoromatic I used directors, writers, and storyboard artists since the writer was never the same, even though the series had minimal animation directors (1 or 2 per episode max). So, I guess a sort of "hierarchy" I used when thinking about what roles to encompass in the tables without it becoming too inaccessible would be: director <- writer <- storyboard artist <- (chief) animation director. 'Animation directors' according to the eastern pipeline are, of course, different from that of the western pipeline; and their importance isn't felt in the processing and directing like the three other roles, but they are very important as well. But again, it's not possible to win it all.
I've often wanted to include outsourcing studios in the tables too, but there's an issue of overcrowding the tables regardless, so I've also decided to just include that in the prose (which you'll see on Mahoromatic). Sarcataclysmal ( talk) 03:04, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Project-independent quality assessments. This proposes support for quality assessment at the article level, recorded in {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and inherited by the wikiproject banners.

I nominated Psycho-Pass (season 1) to GA but the project lists it as a list despite the title. Should the article remain as an article or be moved to a list? I'm kinda confused with the naming convention used by the project. Tintor2 ( talk) 23:18, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

On my sandbox, I've made a table derivative of the current Shaft page's production table. The goal of this table has two things: to simplify the overbearing information of the "Note(s)" column, which is otherwise unnecessary as the reader can simply click on the hyphenated link to find out about the series, and to create a somewhat studio-centric table stylization that adds "Animation Producers" to the column. However, Goszei, who created the table, made a decent point about the credit's inclusion in that the articles for these series themselves don't list "animation producers" despite our agreement that the role is probably worth mentioning due to the significance of that person's job. I won't reiterate the full rationale, but you can find it here. The tl;dr is: animation producers don't have much coverage likely due to a lack of English-langauge sourcing on credits until recently, and likely due to a lack of proper understanding of the credit in the English-speaking world until recently (it's like a line producer but more important). Though they aren't featured on pages or the infoboxes themselves, the different production lines (as can be seen as OLM, Inc.'s different "teams", each led by an animation producer) and sub-cultures within studios is worth depicting on studio production tables, in my opinion. The provided link on that talk page to Sakugablog exemplifies one animation producer (Shouta Umehara from CloverWorks) and the importance of his work for the projects he manages, and you can find comments from industry creators, like Vinland Saga director Shuuhei Yabuta, discussing the importance of the job and the value of knowing them when it comes to a studio's work.
I wanted to know if anyone else has any particular thoughts on the subject. Sarcataclysmal ( talk) 01:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Among the four awards Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (film) won in Crunchyroll 2023, three of them included two different voice actors for Yuta Okkotsu and one for Maki Zen'in. Still these three actors are not from English regions or Japan. While Yuta has been featured in notable articles and might not need these awards, Maki doesn't have that much of coverage. Should we add the award to English Wikipedia? It kinda confuses me since in Spain, the movie was awarded too but for best movie. Kinda reminds me of the D.Gray-man which apparently got a big award in France. Cheers. Tintor2 ( talk) 22:56, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
This list is just massive with over one thousand entries that are just not referenced, many of which seem to be entirely based on personal interpretations (particularly the non-Japanese works, which I'm not sure is appropriate to add). On top of that, many of these also don't even have articles. I think this list has a serious issue where it does not present a coherent concept of what an isekai is, and beginning in January 2022, its scope was massively expanded specifically to include non-Japanese works. The list has ballooned since the beginning of 2023 as well.
I've already removed a significant chunk of the article based on it not being reference or being referenced to two listicles or more fluff pieces that were in the end comparing the works to isekais (or were tongue in cheek). I think for the list to continue to exist, it needs to be cleaned up with a proper minimum inclusion standards and a defined scope, with proper standards for what is considered a useable reference (I don't think The Mary Sue or CBR is good reference for "this is an isekai" especially for a non-Japanese work, for example). ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 03:51, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Although putting this in the article's talk page might make more sense, I wanted to get the opinions of users heavily involved with anime topics. I wish to gradually improve the article of Sailor Moon's final season, Sailor Stars, but I'm not sure how the critical response section should be handled. While most of the season adapts the "Stars" arc from the manga, the first 6 episodes make up an anime exclusive arc. Should the "Reception" section approach the season as a whole, or have the two arcs separate? PanagiotisZois ( talk) 13:11, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
I guess if possible, the two arcs. I kinda did that to the article Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School as the anime was divided into two story arcs. Tintor2 ( talk) 14:34, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Anyone else interested in editing articles relating to these three animes? I noticed that articles about these animes need extensive editing (especially the character lists)- e.g. removal of OR/fancruft, extensive copyediting etc.
I've already removed so much fancruft from List of Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream characters, List of Aikatsu! characters etc, but I still think there's plenty more cleanup to be done.

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I learned today that Junkers Come Here has two anime adaptations, the 1995 movie and a 1994 OVA. Our page seems to be conflating the two, since it says the movie was previously shown on TV, but I think that actually applies to the OVA (Anime News Network also seems to have the two conflated currently). The Japanese Wikipedia page seems to have much better coverage of the topic, including both anime, but I'm relying on Google Translate to look at it since I can't read Japanese. I was hoping someone who can read Japanese could use the Japanese page to expand the English page. Calathan ( talk) 14:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
I have a question regarding the consistency of the capitalization in fictional groups. Since the Jedi article uses "a Jedi" and not "a jedi", List of Dragon Ball characters uses "a Saiyan" and not "a saiyan", Hunter × Hunter uses "a Hunter" and not "a hunter", I'm confused about whether in articles like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, for example, we should write "Jujutsu Sorcerers" (instead of "jujutsu sorceres") and "Demon Slayers" (instead of "demon slayers"), respectively. For real-life groups like pirates and ninjas, it seems that nobody questions the lowercase use in the Naruto and One Piece articles, respectively. I'd like to know if there is a Manual of Style to solve this issue or what anybody else thinks about this. Xexerss ( talk) 00:27, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Increasingly, I'm noticing that episode lists of popular anime are regularly meaninglessly rewritten, either out of an attempt to describe what is happening in the episode as much as possible, or because of an attempt to describe any scenes in the desired way. Sometimes even just finely rewriting the text back and forth, since 3-4 people filling the list are constantly changing the little things in the text. Does the project have any rules about this? And is it possible to create some kind of warning to warn users about unnecessarily excessive descriptions and rewrites? Solaire the knight ( talk) 10:26, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
Please draw the attention of the project participants to this thread. I would like to know more about the attitude of other users to "spoiler" information and the tradition of covering it in articles, especially about currently broadcast shows. I repeatedly tried to draw my opponent's attention to the fact that we should not report the events of the new episodes as sensational hot facts, let alone put them at the very beginning of the character summary (not to mention that some of it was obviously original research based on information taken too literally), but judging by the lack of answers on his talk page and the tone of the answer addressed to me in the discussion itself, the user is initially configured for confrontation.

This article has been subject to a great deal of IP editing, sometimes adding and then removing information, and I think it could use a review by an experienced editor. I know absolutely nothing about the subject and believe that most of these manga articles go into way too much detail so I'm not the best person for the job.

The situation is this. We have a reputable source that confirms that the anime character was the first queer protagonist in the franchise, and it's easy to verify even without a source if you have even a smattering of knowledge. But the source was quick to announce this even before the character was canonically confirmed as a queer. So the question is, can the source be used to claim, if they were actually right, but wrote about it at the time of speculation, before actual confirming the sexuality of the character by the author? As I said, this is a pretty obvious point and most sources are talking about it, but adding this I was met with accusations that I was supposedly "appeal to woke people" and that the status of the first queer protagonist in a cult major franchise was supposedly not significant, so I have to look formal sources, many of which, to put it mildly, are too hasty with conclusions even before the initial development of romance between the characters.

Is it just me, or is this list gradually more and more duplicating the yuri category? The article was originally created by me to move a work's list from the original article about yuri as a genre, but since then it has simply become a potentially endless list like any list about an active and popular genre. The section about yuri as an extra element still contains some original information, but it's basically any anime that has queer female characters without affiliation with the genre (of course, mostly with links to episode reviews on anime resources). For example, Ika Musume is only listed due to the occasional mention that the show has a running gag with a minor character obsessed with an MC. In general, is it possible to somehow rewrite this? Because now it looks like a duplicate of the category and a more localized version of the list of lesbian characters in animation. Solaire the knight ( talk) 20:43, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
I recently cleaned up the articles about Sakura and Syaoran, as the information about their sexuality was mostly original research, and in the case of the latter, even directly contradicted the plot and the article itself (the show reveals that the attraction was caused by a magical aura and the article openly talks about it). But at one point I still want to bring it up here to get an outside perspective and avoid possible misunderstandings or disputes. And so, all of Sakura's canon love interests are heterosexual, her love for Tomoyo is explicitly confirmed as being different than romantic and the only time she was attracted to a female character was explained by a magical aura in the universe. But. You can often see claims on the internet that she is bisexual or even pansexual based on a couple of passages in CLAMP interviews where they refer to her as open-minded characters and refute the notion that her relationship with Syaoran was heteronormative, claiming that they loved each other as personality rather than age or gender, and that Sakura would probably love him even if he was a girl. Many take this as a direct confirmation of Sakura's bisexuality, or even directly refer to it as a statement that Clamp considers her bisexual. What do you think of it? Could this serve as a source beyond the fact that no other sources list her as bisexual (except for secondary sources, including those referring to the interview I mentioned), and in the show itself the character is not pursuing any lesbian love interest? Considering that CCS is one of those Japanese works where there are a lot of queer characters, but you never hear any talk of sexuality, since love is implied to have no boundaries, I also find it speculative that this interview could claim her as bisexual. Not to mention that the context of the answer implies that this logic applies to all characters in the work. For example, Tomoyo clearly continued to love Sakura if she was a boy. But will we then write that she is bisexual instead of the indisputably canonical lesbian? Solaire the knight ( talk) 08:57, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
...Syaoran was, at first, attracted to Yukito...I took great care in how to portray all that. I mentioned this earlier, but the series’s main theme is explored through the main character, so think of how Sakura-chan acts. For example, when she found out that Syaoran was in love with Yukito, she didn’t look at him strangely...If Syaoran had been a girl, if they had been far apart in age, as long as he was still Syaoran, I think Sakura would have fallen in love with him...It’s not because Tomoyo-chan is a girl that she didn’t end up with Sakura. Of course Sakura does love Tomoyo, but it’s not the kind of love she has for Syaoran.
It's been long but I remember that in the case of Syaoran Clamp was careful with how to write. They wanted to be careful with the fact his feelings for Sakura were more geniune than Yukito based on his actions. I think I have Clamp no kiseki where the authors discussed important events from their series and Sakura, X and Tsubasa were the most talked

@ Vortex3427: Sorry for taking time to answer. Yeah, we are kinda low with users who speak Japanese. The fastest thing to write when it comes a movie article is the plot section due to access to it. If you more or less understand what a Japanese article is meant to say, I'd suggest using google translate which sometimes works properly. I would suggest writing in a sandbox and then creating it when you think the article has enough weight for at least a start class article. Tintor2 ( talk) 17:19, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Yes, again. This time, one of the participants in the last dispute questioned the new media scandal surrounding the show (speculation about queerbaiting and censorship of homosexual content on the show flared up with new fuel after fans accused the showrunners of trying to erase the characters' same-sex marriage), opining that the media reason that forced the publisher and the official website to apologize and justify is controversial and we cannot link to geeks resources to demonstrate this. It even took me a while to explain why we use primary sources to validate official statements, or that we don't need a secondary source to validate official tweets or official streams. I'm just tired of any controversy around this article and this anime, does anyone want to take part in this as well? It just seems to me that this article and show is really "cursed" to be a constant thorn in the side of endless debate. Solaire the knight ( talk) 23:13, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

If you are aware, the game project has been merging a lot of characters for not passing wp:notability. While most GAs character articles have proper reviews from the series, the game project became a bit more critical in regards how to handle reception to the point I have been trying to expand the reception of GA character articles. Rather than having just reviews, the project wants articles to have proper sources that heavily focus on the characters besides just reviews. For example, Askeladd from Vinland Saga has several articles where reliable sources like Den of Geek analyze him and try to see them from different points of view. Comic Book Resources is also useful bad sometimes some come across as quite biased. Google Scholars are quite useful too when providing analysis on characters. For example, I tried expanding the reception of Vash the Stampede and Wolfwood from Trigun since they are often heavily discussed by scholars. If a character happens to be controversial like Rudeus Greyrat due to recent accusations of slavery approved or Suguru Geto for his confusing fate in Jujutsu Kaisen, it is possible to easily find articles solely focused on them. It's not a warning but I hope we can keep most articles, especially the GAs considering what happened to a lot video game characters articles who didn't pass such notability content. Happy editing.

The Kodama Naoko article currently uses the last + first naming order. She is officially credited as such in her works' English language releases, probably since her name is written in katakana.

To those who are maintaining the group, it is to our attention that we will suggest a new category of "Anime without English dubbing" (including Anime that had yet to or due to have English dubbing at any time, such as some of the 2023 anime) or "Anime without international dubbings" (for those that not yet given a dub other than English). It's about time that we will have these categories suggested so that some long-time anime fans may be surprised to see which anime had not given English dubbings at all or are long forgotten over time ( Fandub do not count).
The reason of having these categories is because nowadays in our modern-day era of anime, almost most of the new anime had been in demand on being given English dubs over time. If the anime had been confirmed to have given an official English dub or so, the anime can now be removed from the list, fandubs does not count.
Subsequently, episode or anime movie articles for episodes without international or English dubbings can also be created as well, for a smaller scope of episodes which had not yet given a dub (such as the infamous Denno Senshi Porygon episode). What do you think?
Please hope that these proposals of the new categories will come to reality in Wikipedia, as nowadays that it is also culture and increasing trends. Thank you and happy editing! 203.78.15.149 ( talk) 10:22, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
I've brought this up before, but nothing was changed so I figured I would bring this up again. Currently, MOS:ANIME does not provide any method for disambiguating multiple manga with the same title and several different methods have been used, such as year of debut, author, and genre. Based on the previous discussion and general usage, I am proposing adding the following paragraph to MOS:ANIME: When disambiguation is necessary between multiple manga, prefix the year of debut ( Kamui (1964 manga) vs Kamui (2001 manga)). If this is insufficient to disambiguate the manga, use the author's name instead ( Clover (Clamp manga) vs Clover (Toriko Chiya manga)). If this is implemented, then articles like Doubt (horror manga) that disambiguate based on the genre will have to be moved. Link20XX ( talk) 20:44, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Is this an article for us to cover in the WikiProject? I ask because Mai Fujisawa is currently a DYK. ISD ( talk) 08:26, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
So the Viz Media version of YuYu Hakusho counts the special "Two Shot" story as chapter 64 (they don't put the number in front of it, they just label the subsequent chapter as 65 and continue from there), whereas the original Japanese version does not count it. List of YuYu Hakusho chapters follows the original Japanese and that is what I transferred to the references section of List of YuYu Hakusho characters. I just realized however, as I own the Viz version, that I used their numbers when I went through and cited everything on that characters page. That means the numbers used in that article for all chapter citations after "Two Shot" are ahead of the Japanese by one. I will go ahead and lower them if that is viewed as the best solution. But my hesitation in doing that is the fact that most people reading and editing English Wikipedia are most likely reading/referring to Viz's edition as that seems to be the only official English version. Should we just expect and trust all readers and future editors to know they don't match up? Maybe add an official editnotice to help that, or something similar? Or should we change the numbers in the references section of the characters page to Viz's numbers? Xfansd ( talk) 23:31, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
This person has written many books on the topic of anime, and has been cited in articles such as Angel's Egg. However, I am uncertain as to the quality of the source. The highest quality books would be peer reviewed books published by an academic press associated with a University and it appears that her publisher is not this. It's unclear what her education is, or if she has any association with any university. Basic biographical information can't be confirmed, and doing online searches find blog posts of people asking the same questions. Reading their work I see it's filled with jargon and purple prose rather than stating things directly.
This is certainly red flags and I would consider this person to be questionable as a source and I would not personally cite them, especially for facts. I can understand that there's a dearth of high quality sources for anime, but I would certainly avoid this person. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 13:29, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I've seen various sites reporting the best-selling manga series of the year, supposedly based on an Oricon's report, like these two Comicbook sources [19] [20]. I don't necessarily think that the numbers are fake, but the problem is that, on their site, Oricon only reported the best-selling manga volumes of the year. [21] The only sources I can find at the moment reporting the claimed figures of Oricon's best-selling manga series of the year, besides Comicbook (which is rather marginally reliable), are WP:USERG, so I'm not sure if it's okay to mention this in the articles of the series that figured on the list.

Hello, I'd like to request some community input on what the consensus is for displaying original Japanese-language titles in the lead sentences of anime and manga articles. To be clear, I don't oppose including a work's original-language title in its article somewhere, but as a longtime reader and editor of WP, I feel like retaining an original title as a parenthetical statement in the lead sentence just clutters the article for the average English-language reader. This becomes especially messy when multiple verbose translations are included, as in Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy. Wouldn't this be easier for casual readers if it were a footnote? Is this standardized in the anime and manga community?
MOS:ANIME's brief guidelines on lead sections and article titles do not answer my question, and other resources such as MOS:TV and WP:OTHERNAMES are equally unhelpful. I also searched through this project's talk page's archives and found an RfC from 2014 that concluded that inclusion of these titles using Template:Nihongo foot is acceptable, but there doesn't appear to be a standard. This also overlaps with WP:WikiProject Video games to an extent, which does have a standard in WP:JFN.
For instance, both Dissidia Final Fantasy, a video game, and Final Fantasy: Unlimited, an anime, retain Japanese-language titles as footnotes, while Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, a video game, and Dragon Ball GT, an anime, both retain Japanese-language titles in prose. The related article about the Dragon Ball Z anime keeps the Japanese title in a footnote instead of a parenthetical. There seems to be a lack of consistency.
To me, the manual of style for anime should outline a standard for lead sentences based on consensus from this project's community. In no way do I want to diminish the original titles of the works, but I'm in favor of including the Japanese titles as footnotes instead of parenthetical statements. Wikipedia has made viewing notes and references more accessible for readers in recent years, so confining original titles to footnotes would not obscure them from people who don't make it to the bottom of the article.
I would like to know how the community feels about this. Your input is appreciated. — Paper Luigi T • C 04:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

I've noticed that some editors have been using BookWalker tags to support the demographic parameter of Template:Infobox animanga in various articles. It's not my intention for now to discuss whether or not these tags are enough for this, but it should be noted that the site includes ambiguous tags like Dansei-muke (男性向け, 'Aimed at males') and Josei-muke (女性向け, 'Aimed at females'), which don't seem enough to distinguish whether a series belongs to the usual shōnen, seinen, shōjo or josei manga categories (BookWalker has tags for these specific categories). On that note, I'm not sure if 'male' or 'female' are actual demographic categories of manga that can be included in the parameter (referring to this edit). Anyway, if the site only uses the "aimed at males" tag, it doesn't seem appropriate to me that we should assume that this equates to "seinen manga", given that the tag is also used for series that include the "shōnen manga" tag.
Going a little off-topic, I noticed that the site uses the "josei manga" tag for Black Butler. [24] Sometime ago I added a source in the Gangan Comics article to support that Monthly GFantasy is a shōnen manga magazine, but the truth is that I couldn't find sources in Japanese to support this, so I'm taking the opportunity to ask if anyone has evidence from reliable Japanese sources to support that the magazine is actually aimed at teenage boys.

Sankaku Complex is a site that reports on anime, mostly hentai, and they're also known for being critical of translators who translate the term "lolicon" to "pedophile". Now I see that Sankaku Complex isn't mentioned at all on the Online reliable sources page. Do we add them to the page? and where exactly? SimonLagann ( talk) 21:30, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

This time, it is a user with a clear conflict of interest who, due to his openly right-wing views, is trying to remove or protest the indication of criticism of capitalism in the show, as it causes him to protest as an attempt to "claim communist propaganda in the show."] The user has already been warned multiple times for an edit war in other articles, mostly political and cultural, so I don't think this will end quickly. Previously, he just tacitly reverted his edits, ignoring clarifications from me, now he re-reverted his edits, citing the formal need to support statements with footnotes, ignoring that the mentioned is already contained in interviews with the creators and can even be seen directly in the show itself. Although judging by his answers, I generally doubt that he watched it (he also tries to deny such intentions by saying that Bamco is a large corporation, which is generally quite ironic for anyone who lives in the same world as Disney). I just don’t know what to do with this article anymore, this is the fourth edit war in the last month or two. Maybe even protect her until people's enthusiasm subsides?

Some time ago, I got help with accessing a review of the manga Crossplay Love from the German magazine Animania. I've recently been made aware of the existence of another German manga/anime magazine, Koneko, which I think could also contain coverage of that same series due to it having gotten a German release (under the title Anziehend anders). I have already reached out to the publisher to ask if they've covered the manga, but haven't received any response. If it exists, I would very much like to use it in that article.
Is anyone here able to access to this magazine - possibly through your library - and able to check if there exists any relevant coverage? The manga premiered in Germany in April 2022, so you would likely only have to look at issues around #109 (Mar/Apr 2022) for this.

The eastern pipeline is very crazy when it comes to how a show should work. Apparently I learned that storyboard artist have more power than directors in the East. Some anime love crediting so much animation directors which is insane and there are art directors at Toei Animation, thus different styles depending on episodes. I have discussed this issue with some other users before and I do like to hear thoughts from others. BaldiBasicsFan ( talk) 01:11, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
I don't really know what's going on and I dont feel like rereading the conversation, but I think it's just circumstantial depending on the credits themselves. For REC, I added the animation directors under the notion that I could just list Yoshida's writing credit and Nakamura's storyboard credit (which he did across the whole series by himself) in the prose. And since each episode only had 1-3 animation directors, it didn't crowd the space with too much information or make the table look bad. In the case of RWBY: Ice Queendom, although Ubukata wrote all of the episodes himself, one of the episodes had up to 10 animation directors, so I thought it wouldn't be worth doing so for the sake of readability. Other older cases like Mahoromatic I used directors, writers, and storyboard artists since the writer was never the same, even though the series had minimal animation directors (1 or 2 per episode max). So, I guess a sort of "hierarchy" I used when thinking about what roles to encompass in the tables without it becoming too inaccessible would be: director <- writer <- storyboard artist <- (chief) animation director. 'Animation directors' according to the eastern pipeline are, of course, different from that of the western pipeline; and their importance isn't felt in the processing and directing like the three other roles, but they are very important as well. But again, it's not possible to win it all.
I've often wanted to include outsourcing studios in the tables too, but there's an issue of overcrowding the tables regardless, so I've also decided to just include that in the prose (which you'll see on Mahoromatic). Sarcataclysmal ( talk) 03:04, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

On my sandbox, I've made a table derivative of the current Shaft page's production table. The goal of this table has two things: to simplify the overbearing information of the "Note(s)" column, which is otherwise unnecessary as the reader can simply click on the hyphenated link to find out about the series, and to create a somewhat studio-centric table stylization that adds "Animation Producers" to the column. However, Goszei, who created the table, made a decent point about the credit's inclusion in that the articles for these series themselves don't list "animation producers" despite our agreement that the role is probably worth mentioning due to the significance of that person's job. I won't reiterate the full rationale, but you can find it here. The tl;dr is: animation producers don't have much coverage likely due to a lack of English-langauge sourcing on credits until recently, and likely due to a lack of proper understanding of the credit in the English-speaking world until recently (it's like a line producer but more important). Though they aren't featured on pages or the infoboxes themselves, the different production lines (as can be seen as OLM, Inc.'s different "teams", each led by an animation producer) and sub-cultures within studios is worth depicting on studio production tables, in my opinion. The provided link on that talk page to Sakugablog exemplifies one animation producer (Shouta Umehara from CloverWorks) and the importance of his work for the projects he manages, and you can find comments from industry creators, like Vinland Saga director Shuuhei Yabuta, discussing the importance of the job and the value of knowing them when it comes to a studio's work.

Among the four awards Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (film) won in Crunchyroll 2023, three of them included two different voice actors for Yuta Okkotsu and one for Maki Zen'in. Still these three actors are not from English regions or Japan. While Yuta has been featured in notable articles and might not need these awards, Maki doesn't have that much of coverage. Should we add the award to English Wikipedia? It kinda confuses me since in Spain, the movie was awarded too but for best movie. Kinda reminds me of the D.Gray-man which apparently got a big award in France. Cheers. Tintor2 ( talk) 22:56, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
This list is just massive with over one thousand entries that are just not referenced, many of which seem to be entirely based on personal interpretations (particularly the non-Japanese works, which I'm not sure is appropriate to add). On top of that, many of these also don't even have articles. I think this list has a serious issue where it does not present a coherent concept of what an isekai is, and beginning in January 2022, its scope was massively expanded specifically to include non-Japanese works. The list has ballooned since the beginning of 2023 as well.
I've already removed a significant chunk of the article based on it not being reference or being referenced to two listicles or more fluff pieces that were in the end comparing the works to isekais (or were tongue in cheek). I think for the list to continue to exist, it needs to be cleaned up with a proper minimum inclusion standards and a defined scope, with proper standards for what is considered a useable reference (I don't think The Mary Sue or CBR is good reference for "this is an isekai" especially for a non-Japanese work, for example). ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 03:51, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I learned today that Junkers Come Here has two anime adaptations, the 1995 movie and a 1994 OVA.

I have a question regarding the consistency of the capitalization in fictional groups. Since the Jedi article uses "a Jedi" and not "a jedi", List of Dragon Ball characters uses "a Saiyan" and not "a saiyan", Hunter × Hunter uses "a Hunter" and not "a hunter", I'm confused about whether in articles like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, for example, we should write "Jujutsu Sorcerers" (instead of "jujutsu sorceres") and "Demon Slayers" (instead of "demon slayers"), respectively. For real-life groups like pirates and ninjas, it seems that nobody questions the lowercase use in the Naruto and One Piece articles, respectively.

Increasingly, I'm noticing that episode lists of popular anime are regularly meaninglessly rewritten, either out of an attempt to describe what is happening in the episode as much as possible, or because of an attempt to describe any scenes in the desired way.

The situation is this. We have a reputable source that confirms that the anime character was the first queer protagonist in the franchise, and it's easy to verify even without a source if you have even a smattering of knowledge. But the source was quick to announce this even before the character was canonically confirmed as a queer. So the question is, can the source be used to claim, if they were actually right, but wrote about it at the time of speculation, before actual confirming the sexuality of the character by the author? As I said, this is a pretty obvious point and most sources are talking about it, but adding this I was met with accusations that I was supposedly "appeal to woke people" and that the status of the first queer protagonist in a cult major franchise was supposedly not significant, so I have to look formal sources, many of which, to put it mildly, are too hasty with conclusions even before the initial development of romance between the characters.

Is it just me, or is this list gradually more and more duplicating the yuri category? The article was originally created by me to move a work's list from the original article about yuri as a genre, but since then it has simply become a potentially endless list like any list about an active and popular genre. The section about yuri as an extra element still contains some original information, but it's basically any anime that has queer female characters without affiliation with the genre (of course, mostly with links to episode reviews on anime resources). For example, Ika Musume is only listed due to the occasional mention that the show has a running gag with a minor character obsessed with an MC. In general, is it possible to somehow rewrite this? Because now it looks like a duplicate of the category and a more localized version of the list of lesbian characters in animation. Solaire the knight ( talk) 20:43, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
I recently cleaned up the articles about Sakura and Syaoran, as the information about their sexuality was mostly original research, and in the case of the latter, even directly contradicted the plot and the article itself (the show reveals that the attraction was caused by a magical aura and the article openly talks about it). But at one point I still want to bring it up here to get an outside perspective and avoid possible misunderstandings or disputes. And so, all of Sakura's canon love interests are heterosexual, her love for Tomoyo is explicitly confirmed as being different than romantic and the only time she was attracted to a female character was explained by a magical aura in the universe. But. You can often see claims on the internet that she is bisexual or even pansexual based on a couple of passages in CLAMP interviews where they refer to her as open-minded characters and refute the notion that her relationship with Syaoran was heteronormative, claiming that they loved each other as personality rather than age or gender, and that Sakura would probably love him even if he was a girl. Many take this as a direct confirmation of Sakura's bisexuality, or even directly refer to it as a statement that Clamp considers her bisexual. What do you think of it? Could this serve as a source beyond the fact that no other sources list her as bisexual (except for secondary sources, including those referring to the interview I mentioned), and in the show itself the character is not pursuing any lesbian love interest? Considering that CCS is one of those Japanese works where there are a lot of queer characters, but you never hear any talk of sexuality, since love is implied to have no boundaries, I also find it speculative that this interview could claim her as bisexual. Not to mention that the context of the answer implies that this logic applies to all characters in the work. For example, Tomoyo clearly continued to love Sakura if she was a boy. But will we then write that she is bisexual instead of the indisputably canonical lesbian? Solaire the knight ( talk) 08:57, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
...Syaoran was, at first, attracted to Yukito...I took great care in how to portray all that. I mentioned this earlier, but the series’s main theme is explored through the main character, so think of how Sakura-chan acts. For example, when she found out that Syaoran was in love with Yukito, she didn’t look at him strangely...If Syaoran had been a girl, if they had been far apart in age, as long as he was still Syaoran, I think Sakura would have fallen in love with him...It’s not because Tomoyo-chan is a girl that she didn’t end up with Sakura. Of course Sakura does love Tomoyo, but it’s not the kind of love she has for Syaoran.
It's been long but I remember that in the case of Syaoran Clamp was careful with how to write. They wanted to be careful with the fact his feelings for Sakura were more geniune than Yukito based on his actions. I think I have Clamp no kiseki where the authors discussed important events from their series and Sakura, X and Tsubasa were the most talked

@ Vortex3427: Sorry for taking time to answer. Yeah, we are kinda low with users who speak Japanese. The fastest thing to write when it comes a movie article is the plot section due to access to it. If you more or less understand what a Japanese article is meant to say, I'd suggest using google translate which sometimes works properly. I would suggest writing in a sandbox and then creating it when you think the article has enough weight for at least a start class article. Tintor2 ( talk) 17:19, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Yes, again. This time, one of the participants in the last dispute questioned the new media scandal surrounding the show (speculation about queerbaiting and censorship of homosexual content on the show flared up with new fuel after fans accused the showrunners of trying to erase the characters' same-sex marriage), opining that the media reason that forced the publisher and the official website to apologize and justify is controversial and we cannot link to geeks resources to demonstrate this. It even took me a while to explain why we use primary sources to validate official statements, or that we don't need a secondary source to validate official tweets or official streams. I'm just tired of any controversy around this article and this anime, does anyone want to take part in this as well? It just seems to me that this article and show is really "cursed" to be a constant thorn in the side of endless debate. Solaire the knight ( talk) 23:13, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

If you are aware, the game project has been merging a lot of characters for not passing wp:notability. While most GAs character articles have proper reviews from the series, the game project became a bit more critical in regards how to handle reception to the point I have been trying to expand the reception of GA character articles. Rather than having just reviews, the project wants articles to have proper sources that heavily focus on the characters besides just reviews. For example, Askeladd from Vinland Saga has several articles where reliable sources like Den of Geek analyze him and try to see them from different points of view. Comic Book Resources is also useful bad sometimes some come across as quite biased. Google Scholars are quite useful too when providing analysis on characters. For example, I tried expanding the reception of Vash the Stampede and Wolfwood from Trigun since they are often heavily discussed by scholars. If a character happens to be controversial like Rudeus Greyrat due to recent accusations of slavery approved or Suguru Geto for his confusing fate in Jujutsu Kaisen, it is possible to easily find articles solely focused on them. It's not a warning but I hope we can keep most articles, especially the GAs considering what happened to a lot video game characters articles who didn't pass such notability content. Happy editing.

The Kodama Naoko article currently uses the last + first naming order. She is officially credited as such in her works' English language releases, probably since her name is written in katakana.

To those who are maintaining the group, it is to our attention that we will suggest a new category of "Anime without English dubbing" (including Anime that had yet to or due to have English dubbing at any time, such as some of the 2023 anime) or "Anime without international dubbings" (for those that not yet given a dub other than English). It's about time that we will have these categories suggested so that some long-time anime fans may be surprised to see which anime had not given English dubbings at all or are long forgotten over time ( Fandub do not count).
The reason of having these categories is because nowadays in our modern-day era of anime, almost most of the new anime had been in demand on being given English dubs over time. If the anime had been confirmed to have given an official English dub or so, the anime can now be removed from the list, fandubs does not count.
Subsequently, episode or anime movie articles for episodes without international or English dubbings can also be created as well, for a smaller scope of episodes which had not yet given a dub (such as the infamous Denno Senshi Porygon episode). What do you think?
Please hope that these proposals of the new categories will come to reality in Wikipedia, as nowadays that it is also culture and increasing trends. Thank you and happy editing! 203.78.15.149 ( talk) 10:22, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
I've brought this up before, but nothing was changed so I figured I would bring this up again. Currently, MOS:ANIME does not provide any method for disambiguating multiple manga with the same title and several different methods have been used, such as year of debut, author, and genre. Based on the previous discussion and general usage, I am proposing adding the following paragraph to MOS:ANIME: When disambiguation is necessary between multiple manga, prefix the year of debut ( Kamui (1964 manga) vs Kamui (2001 manga)). If this is insufficient to disambiguate the manga, use the author's name instead ( Clover (Clamp manga) vs Clover (Toriko Chiya manga)). If this is implemented, then articles like Doubt (horror manga) that disambiguate based on the genre will have to be moved. Link20XX ( talk) 20:44, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Is this an article for us to cover in the WikiProject? I ask because Mai Fujisawa is currently a DYK. ISD ( talk) 08:26, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
So the Viz Media version of YuYu Hakusho counts the special "Two Shot" story as chapter 64 (they don't put the number in front of it, they just label the subsequent chapter as 65 and continue from there), whereas the original Japanese version does not count it. List of YuYu Hakusho chapters follows the original Japanese and that is what I transferred to the references section of List of YuYu Hakusho characters. I just realized however, as I own the Viz version, that I used their numbers when I went through and cited everything on that characters page. That means the numbers used in that article for all chapter citations after "Two Shot" are ahead of the Japanese by one. I will go ahead and lower them if that is viewed as the best solution. But my hesitation in doing that is the fact that most people reading and editing English Wikipedia are most likely reading/referring to Viz's edition as that seems to be the only official English version. Should we just expect and trust all readers and future editors to know they don't match up? Maybe add an official editnotice to help that, or something similar? Or should we change the numbers in the references section of the characters page to Viz's numbers? Xfansd ( talk) 23:31, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
This person has written many books on the topic of anime, and has been cited in articles such as Angel's Egg. However, I am uncertain as to the quality of the source. The highest quality books would be peer reviewed books published by an academic press associated with a University and it appears that her publisher is not this. It's unclear what her education is, or if she has any association with any university. Basic biographical information can't be confirmed, and doing online searches find blog posts of people asking the same questions. Reading their work I see it's filled with jargon and purple prose rather than stating things directly.
This is certainly red flags and I would consider this person to be questionable as a source and I would not personally cite them, especially for facts. I can understand that there's a dearth of high quality sources for anime, but I would certainly avoid this person. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 13:29, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I've seen various sites reporting the best-selling manga series of the year, supposedly based on an Oricon's report, like these two Comicbook sources [19] [20]. I don't necessarily think that the numbers are fake, but the problem is that, on their site, Oricon only reported the best-selling manga volumes of the year. [21] The only sources I can find at the moment reporting the claimed figures of Oricon's best-selling manga series of the year, besides Comicbook (which is rather marginally reliable), are WP:USERG, so I'm not sure if it's okay to mention this in the articles of the series that figured on the list.

Hello, I'd like to request some community input on what the consensus is for displaying original Japanese-language titles in the lead sentences of anime and manga articles. To be clear, I don't oppose including a work's original-language title in its article somewhere, but as a longtime reader and editor of WP, I feel like retaining an original title as a parenthetical statement in the lead sentence just clutters the article for the average English-language reader. This becomes especially messy when multiple verbose translations are included, as in Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy. Wouldn't this be easier for casual readers if it were a footnote? Is this standardized in the anime and manga community?
MOS:ANIME's brief guidelines on lead sections and article titles do not answer my question, and other resources such as MOS:TV and WP:OTHERNAMES are equally unhelpful. I also searched through this project's talk page's archives and found an RfC from 2014 that concluded that inclusion of these titles using Template:Nihongo foot is acceptable, but there doesn't appear to be a standard. This also overlaps with WP:WikiProject Video games to an extent, which does have a standard in WP:JFN.
For instance, both Dissidia Final Fantasy, a video game, and Final Fantasy: Unlimited, an anime, retain Japanese-language titles as footnotes, while Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, a video game, and Dragon Ball GT, an anime, both retain Japanese-language titles in prose. The related article about the Dragon Ball Z anime keeps the Japanese title in a footnote instead of a parenthetical. There seems to be a lack of consistency.
To me, the manual of style for anime should outline a standard for lead sentences based on consensus from this project's community. In no way do I want to diminish the original titles of the works, but I'm in favor of including the Japanese titles as footnotes instead of parenthetical statements. Wikipedia has made viewing notes and references more accessible for readers in recent years, so confining original titles to footnotes would not obscure them from people who don't make it to the bottom of the article.
I would like to know how the community feels about this. Your input is appreciated. — Paper Luigi T • C 04:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

I've noticed that some editors have been using BookWalker tags to support the demographic parameter of Template:Infobox animanga in various articles. It's not my intention for now to discuss whether or not these tags are enough for this, but it should be noted that the site includes ambiguous tags like Dansei-muke (男性向け, 'Aimed at males') and Josei-muke (女性向け, 'Aimed at females'), which don't seem enough to distinguish whether a series belongs to the usual shōnen, seinen, shōjo or josei manga categories (BookWalker has tags for these specific categories). On that note, I'm not sure if 'male' or 'female' are actual demographic categories of manga that can be included in the parameter (referring to this edit). Anyway, if the site only uses the "aimed at males" tag, it doesn't seem appropriate to me that we should assume that this equates to "seinen manga", given that the tag is also used for series that include the "shōnen manga" tag.
Going a little off-topic, I noticed that the site uses the "josei manga" tag for Black Butler. [24] Sometime ago I added a source in the Gangan Comics article to support that Monthly GFantasy is a shōnen manga magazine, but the truth is that I couldn't find sources in Japanese to support this, so I'm taking the opportunity to ask if anyone has evidence from reliable Japanese sources to support that the magazine is actually aimed at teenage boys.
