Chapter title quotes

[edit]

I thought this was worth wider attention, so I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga#Quotes on chapter titles. 「ダイノガイ千？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Production!!!

[edit]

Well, it's not much, but Takahashi answered some questions from fans on ShonenSunday.com. There's also some usable stuff there for InuYasha and possibly her own article. 「ダイノガイ千？！」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 16:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphic novel volume 6

[edit]

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/rin-ne/gn-6

...Like most of Rumiko Takahashi's series, there's a lot going on in this one volume. Rin-ne has consistently been episodic in nature, and that holds true here as well. This book contains three stories of varying lengths and comedy, and while it doesn't achieve greatness, it does manage to be enjoyable.
...Perhaps that dated quality is the greatest deterrent to newer fans. Takahashi has built her career on silly, troubled romance-comedies, and while the plot may vary from aliens to martial arts to time travel, her take on the supernatural high school story is still clearly part of her cannon. For people who have been here since Urusei Yatsura, that's not a problem. But younger readers may find themselves annoyed by the slower pace and episodic format, both of which are a bit passe in contemporary English-translated shonen. Her art also has a retro look, but this is less likely to matter, largely because she does it well. Bodies are pleasantly formed, faces have enough expression to make it clear what's going on in the characters' heads, and supernatural characters look just nonhuman enough to make them otherworldly. Some of Takahashi's small details are excellent, like Kain wearing sneakers with his shinigami robes or the slices of almond on a cookie. Little things like this give the reader a sense of the effort Takahashi put into her otherwise simple artwork.
...Characterization-wise, there is not much development going on. Sakura does get to strut her stuff a bit, and Rinne seems like he might just be starting to get a clue about any feelings he may have for her, but otherwise, the characters are at a comfortable standstill. Rinne is poor and a bit clueless, Sakura is wisely with it, and Tsubasa tries real hard but doesn't quite make the grade. Rokumon continues to play the faithful sidekick, but the cat lovers out there will just be content to look at him – Takahashi does a bang up job of making his small form cute.

...When all is said and done, if you aren't tired of Takahashi yet, this is good read. It's even a good read if you are tired of her style or if you know nothing about her, but it isn't a great one. Rin-ne is a fun take on the supernatural school story, and if it isn't innovative or a work of staggering genius, it does show us why Rumiko Takahashi still sells – the woman can keep you reading.

Anime?

[edit]

Is there an anime of this? I found a short (about 30 sec) trailer online, but it may just be a promo for the manga. CFLeon (talk) 05:56, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No anime has been officially announced, a probably won't for another 2-3 years.--十八 06:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]

I know we have to use the Viz title of "Rin-ne", but the current way the first sentence is worded can misinform people. I'd like to suggest we use the same way that Detective Conan ("Case Closed") is written, which would be:

Rin-ne (stylized as RIN-NE), known as Kyōkai no Rinne (境界のRINNE, lit. Rinne of the Boundary, officially translated as Circle of Reincarnation) in Japan, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi.

Xfansd (talk) 19:18, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't mind this, except for the fact that the last bit is also a bit misleading since it only appears on the Japanese releases above the title, so I'm not even sure if it can be considered to be a "translation", since Kyōkai no Rinne doesn't mean Circle of Reincarnation.--十八 21:06, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well isn't that the same as how Meitantei Conan literally translates as "Great Detective Conan" but the official English name is simply Detective Conan. Another example is the new Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods film; the Japanese title translates as God and God (神と神, Kami to Kami) but the official English title is Battle of Gods. Obviously your right in that using the word "translated" is technically false, but can you think up some other way to word that? Xfansd (talk) 19:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see Circle of Reincarnation as more of a subtitle, so something like "...subtitled as Circle of Reincarnation" would make more sense.--十八 21:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Airing dates and sections

[edit]

@TheFarix:

Shouldn't the third season be separated into a new column? If so, why? And if not, why not? --Sk8erPrince (talk) 13:20, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We do not create a new infobox section for each season simply because it will bloat an already long infobox simply to repeat the same information with only significant differences being the air dates. You also don't see multiple versions of {{Infobox television}} on the same article for non-anime televisions series that has multiple seasons either. So why should {{Infobox animanga/Video}} be any different?
Because several anime such as Heaven's Lost Property, Hayate and Highschool DXD add a new infobox for every new season. Because of that, I just assumed that every anime show would adhere to those rules. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 16:23, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The main way to distinguish it is if the episode count restarts or not. In this case, the second season of Rinne started at 26 and ended at 50, and likewise, the third season will start at 51, so it's clearly the same series. Whether or not the same staff produce a series is also important, for in the case of Hayate, three separate studios produce the 4 anime series, and each one also had a different title, hence the separation.--十八 19:52, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. That was very insightful, indeed. I'll keep that in mind. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 20:21, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Japanese studios play fast and loose with the differences between season and series, almost using the terms interchangeably. This has resulted in a lot of consternation as we try to it all out. But as of now, the next installment was announced as a new season. So we will treat it as such until until it is clear that it is an entirely new series. —Farix (t | c) 14:21, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Protagonist

[edit]

I believe Sakura Mamiya should be listed first because she's the viewpoint character as the plot said. Not only she's the viewpoint character, but she's also the narrator. Nintenchris5963 (talk) 20:13, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The true main protagonist is Rinne Rokudo. Sakura Mamiya is the narrator of the story, then it's clear that the story beginning with her. She can be considered the protagonist of the first part of the series, but the true protagonist is Rinne. For confirmation, you can control all other languages Wikipedia pages: Rinne is always the protagonist, and Sakura is always the second in order of importance. Please, stop with these errors now that there're sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.249.8.224 (talk) 07:53, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're not following the plot. Please see this page. Nintenchris5963 (talk) 07:45, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
See Japanese Wikipedia, which confirms that Rinne is the main character and Sakura the heroin. myanilist could be an error. I've also edit the officials sources in Japanese. Please, stop with these grave errors. --79.17.233.71 (talk) 11:47, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"myanimelist" is a site, where anyone can edit, like here. See at here from "unreliable" and it directed to this. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 20:46, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
At any rate, the official sources were edited on the page. Discussion close. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.15.51.22 (talk) 07:26, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, once in a while. If a sentence was copied from myanimelist, (or any other kind) that can't be placed there, in any show/ wiki that's here. Rin-ne is one, then yugioh, etc. And if they continued on; one can ask at AIV. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 17:13, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@79.17.233.71 The Japanese wiki is not a reliable source. If you think that's true, why not take that to Dream Eater Merry? Go check out the Japanese version as well. Nintenchris5963 (talk) 06:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now there're two Japanese official sources, then myanimelist is totally wrong. All other languages Wikipedia pages confirm my edits. Furthermore, as the narrator, Sakura Mamiya is the protagonist only at the beginning of the series, like confirmed in French Wikipedia. Stop definitely with those errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.237.235.69 (talk) 14:04, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
sign... If myanimelist is used, take it out. And all wiki are different, but myanimelist can not be used in a ref or to copy it and add it. Like a copied summary or plot. From this one, even some characters too. If its almost word by word; for any show (anime) that has a wiki here.
Or, just write it in your words. From scratch. Like using the sandbox. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 15:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@95.237.235.69 Please create an account. Stop editing Wikipedia as an unknown user. You didn't even sign your posts on talk pages either. The Japanese wiki didn't exactly confirmed your edits. They just either didn't check, take too long, or not focusing on that page anymore. You were lucky that you edits were left as is, but later they might revert them back if necessary.
