@Antanaru: Why? Super-human strength? I think every character is pretty much operating within the laws of reality but maybe I'm forgetting something?
Well... blasting people off in the sky with bare hands, shaking ground and explosion caused by clashing swords. That's some crazy super power I think.

@Antanaru: I discussed the matter with kuroshiroi and we decided to add super power. Although it's definitely not the main focus of the show and in latter episodes (that you haven't seen and kuroshiroi has) they make use of their powers much less often than in the beginning. Including super power in genres may help people who haven't seen SB yet though, just in case they are looking for something realistic; SB certainly isn't a realistic show. Ultimately, what we really need is an ability to grade genres (i.e. make some of them bigger/smaller), so we are able to put an appropriate focus on genres/themes that are the most important in the show.

Otherwise, done.

Always thought that the anime should be about music or music-centered enough, like Beck, Nodame Cantabile or Macross to get tagged like that. KnO is as much music-driven as, for example, "ef -a tale of melodies" which doesn't have this tag.

@SirensRequiem: Done, I've been going back and forth in my opinion on which picture is the best but ultimately, you're right. The show is mainly about the 4 of them and specifically about the triplets abusing Yabe-chi.

-Vintage-: I'll let free get back to you on Orgel, since I haven't seen it. I will however say this, comparing it to some other entry isn't exactly useful. If you can't argue for music or no music without resorting to comparisons, you're doing it wrong, imao.

Seconding keeping Music with Orgel. It's an important theme in the story, even if they never explicitly perform any music.

@ShadowAlex
I'm sorry if I'm being dense here but...which entry's theme song performance?

My Japanese isn't the best but where are you getting Emerald from? According to my sources ruriiro translates to lapis lazuli.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ here. Kokia did indeed sing OP1 (Karma) for that.

I don't think users can request a role to be edited, only added or removed. Even so, there is a specific thread for person edits, although it relates mostly to pictures, but it can be used for other edits like this one as well.

@sawmill: I don't know how Animevice got that title so unless you've got something more official, I don't think we're adding it, sorry. It's most likely a really uncommon fan-translation which is rather unnecessary, imo.

@Yclan: You can add Wan Wan yourself, http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=anime_series&do=add . Try to fill out as many fields as possible and find a picture with at least 225 pixels of width and close to 350px in height. If you don't submit it, I'll add it sometime later. Touhou is a doujin that doesn't conform to MAL's guidelines on doujin anime, so please don't try to add that.

@AMFG: Yeah, not changing due to that. That's not a good enough reason.

@SirensRequiem: I like the current much better. A lot more colourful and has better composition.

@flygon250: Also not changing that title :) Blame Naruto creators for excessively long titles.

tl;dr: I did nothing. Imagine that...

No, the normal reason. He and favoritism will be nicer looking and a sheet.

No, well, themselves think is one thing when the Naruto name stands for a separate story, another thing in OVA Air Gear is a continuation of the plot manga.

You might as well be time to rename from Hayate the Combat Butler!! OVA in " Hayate the Combat Butler Season 2 Episode 0 "
or Chobits Special in " Chobits Episode 27 - Hibiya and Kotoko Tell the Story "
or Clannad (movie) in " Clannad The Motion Picture "

but in the case of Air Gear so uncomfortable?
Because, again, this is not some separate story, that she had a separate full name.

@AMFG: Well, going by that we could just rename all kind of sequels of movies to just Movie 2, Movie 3 etc. without any subtitles and such, including Evangelion and Kara no Kyoukai movies that you happen to have on your list. We're simply not consistent about it at the moment. No, not even with specials and OVAs:

And that's just from my list.

Trust me, we know our database (and its shortcomings). Also, story has absolutely nothing to do with how the entry is named. You'll see side stories named simply as "Specials" and ones with full episode titles as well. There is no rule at the moment. Moderators on MAL were working for years without any written rules at all. We finally set up some this year (database guidelines), but they still need a few additions. Perhaps we should discuss how to make things more consistent and decide on one naming scheme. We may be to blame that there is inconsistency in our database (partially, I've been a moderator for less than two years for instance), but at this point you cannot really tell us that we feel "so uncomfortable" about some title.

P.S. It was me who added that new Air Gear entry.

Okay, this is something for the future, as the moderators decide to organize the database...


Then the other issue is why, the characters on the wall (in particular Kururu) attributed it OVA,

and not manga (Although the same Sasuke / Lelouch / same Kazuma Mikura from Air Gear / Sakura has a link to the manga) ?


After all, manga Air Gear came out earlier than OVA and so the link under the name Kururu, will go on manga ?

@ AMFG - This would be another database shortcoming. In this case anime is preferred over manga (in the DB its self) so it goes first. If there are several anime attached to a character the one with the lowest number is first. Which is why Black Jack here, has Ray the Animation as the title he is from.

No, this isn't a great situation but it is how it works (at least for now) and there isn't much that can be done about it.

Please change it to Senkou no Night Raid Specials because there are more than one.

There will be 3 eps. (from the official site):
Two of the three are already added in synopsis and I just added the final one few minutes ago, waiting to be approved (ep. 14).

And for Japanese, please delete "第0話 船上のクランクアップ" because it's not just this one.

I have a (rather random) question I want to ask about Digimon.

Could I hear the reason why the English title (and image) was selected over the original Japanese title?
Though if you're gonna say, it's the same reason why Pokemon is titled as that and not Pocket Monsters... well, I have nothing to say back. (but hey, then why is Pokemon named Pokemon?! xP)

Well, part of the reason I ask this was cause many times I kinda found it rather confusing to differentiate between the Movie "Digimon Adventure" and the TV series "Digimon Adventure".
I don't know how it is in the US, but as far as I know, I think most non-us countries refer to it as "Digimon Adventure" even in dubbed version. Well, at least the wikipedia page is titled "Digimon Adventure" and in fact "Digimon: Digital Monsters" leads to the "Digimon" page that talks about the overall franchise in general...

Well, but whichever way the TVA is titled here in MAL, I think the movie anime should be labeled as something like Digimon Adventure (Movie) (although well, you can still see that it's a movie from the type info.. :P)

Break Blade is the transcription of the official Japanese title, Broken Blade is the official English title and by that I mean the official Japanese English title.

I assume it's because the Japanese are more likely to know the English word Break and not Broken, i.e. they don't understand Broken Blade but they do understand (or at least can figure out) Break Blade. I'm just guessing here though :)

I hope it was a conscious decision but it could've just been the author's' mistake. In any case, we're keeping the Japanese transcription.

Yeah, about Break Blade. Shouldn't it be in one entry similar to 5 cm or Memories? It's rather a 6-part movie than six movies. Well, to be more accurate it's like OVA with theatrical pre-release of each episode. It's released monthly, it has OP (not a very movie-like thing) and episode preview (ditto), dvd/bd are released with only one month delay and there's very strong plot connection between episodes. I wouldn't be surprised if there's one OP/ED for the whole thing. And the most important thing: I doubt there would be a problem with merging... *cough*karanokyoukairage*cough*.

@Antanaru: I don't know what to tell you other than the fact that we decided to give theatrical releases separate entries. We're most likely going to extend that to any and all theatrical releases, regardless of content (see orgel and Eve no Jikan), so I imagine you'll be doing a lot of coughing in the future :)

Theatrical releases are kind of a big deal. At least, we think so.
