Why are you using the Baronh names?

Ok, the use of the Baronh names is ridiculous. In the anime the characters are referred to as Lafiel and Jinto, not the crazy un pronounceable spelling —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.50.51.126 (talk) 05:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

You see, the thing about Baronh, it that while it sounds lovely (The narrator is speaking Baronh), it is spelled completely non-phonetically, which makes the use of Baronh in writing names to be a thoroughly useless exercise, unless you wish to learn the language. So hey guys, lets play the 'Write things phonetically using the latin alphabet'! game. Thanks!Alexander 08:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Been five months since the original post, and I'll third this - go ahead and start changing things back to the names every official translation has used. Doceirias 09:10, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, another victory for reason!Alexander 07:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps they should be listed in both Baronh and the normal translations? It seems to have been switched back at some point. 96.255.151.250 (talk) 08:01, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure anyone ever bothered to change it. According to the manual of style, we have to use the official English names, not the Baronh spellings. I don't think there's any active editors on this page who have the resources or time to go correct things, though. Doceirias (talk) 08:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, it's fine to list both, with deference given to the English name. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 05:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Major Cleanup Needed

Some major cleanup is needed on this article as of June 11th, 2010. The entire article is incredibly informal and reads more like a review or blog entry than an encyclopedia article. KiTA (talk) 02:08, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Akai on fascism in Banner of the Stars

AQ I have a question about Seikai no Monsho and Seikai no Senki. In watching the Seikai series, while I certainly enjoy it, I love the designs, that have been supervised by Mr. Akai and I also love the writing, especially the dialog. It is a wonderful show and as a science fiction fan I appreciate good science fiction like that. It is not often that I see it animated so well. One thing that does concern me is the fascist overtones of it. Sort of the glorification of imperial Japan. What are his observations about that? Translator The question is about the fascist undertone of the Seikai no Senki series? AQ Yes Mr. Akai The reason why I like the original series, is not because of the fascist undertones, it is because of the characters striving and acting within the society. It's really not about the society, it's more about the people. I don't feel that I am promoting fascism, I am just portraying a character that is within a fascist society. The concept behind the series is the fact that it is not the system itself which is good or evil. In the present society, in reality, our democratic society is better than a totalitarian fascist government, But within it's context, whether or not the fascist government is worse or better than the democratic government that its fighting is debatable, within its context. AQ I notice that we never really get to see anything of the United Humanity Forces. They just exist as the enemy. Mr. Akai In the authors mind, there is actually an entire society and an entire universe surrounding the Senkai series. He just focused on a particular point of that universe in the Senkai series. It is somewhere in his head that this entire world revolves. He could write a series that is set somewhere else within that universe. Until then, as the character designer, there is nothing that I can do. There is even the language of the Og and the only one who can speak it or understand it is the author. So, when they have a narration in the beginning of episodes, the author goes there and narrates it. The voice actor listens to it and regurgitates exactly what the author says. That is actually what is written on his patches. [Ed Note: The last comment is about the Seikai no Senki patches that were on Mr. Akai's coat.]
