Talk:Glass Mask

The Purple Rose Person
I know this is an exact translation of murasaki no bara no hito, but in English "The Purple Rose Person" just sounds odd. I always thought of it more as simply "The Purple Rose". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Utawoutau (talk • contribs) 18:54, July 1, 2006

Miuchi redrawing previously published Glass Mask chapters
'' This is fascinating. Please provide some reference when/if you would like to move it back to the main article '' Utawoutau (talk) 13:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

While many chapters have been published in Hana to Yume subsequent to the collected manga volumes, Miuchi is, for reasons of her own, redrawing chapters and initiating changes to the storyline. The most recently published volume features a cell phone, something which did not exist at the beginning of the series' run and may be evidence of a desire by the manga artist to modernize certain aspects of the series.

'' This following sentence was attached to the above. It is moved here because it does not really belong in the opening paragraph without the previous statements proceeding it'' Utawoutau (talk) 13:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

The newest TV series from 2005 is also modernized, featuring new fashions and hairstyles (i.e.: Ayumi's elaborate hairstyle has been noticeably simplified), computers and the Internet, all of these not existing until recent years. Utawoutau (talk) 13:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Speculation on the future of the manga storyline
 No references were provided for the following sentence in the main article, so it was moved here  Utawoutau (talk) 13:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Certain elements of the prior storyline in the Hana to Yume chapters have also led to fan speculation that Miuchi may have decided to change the storyline entirely by disregarding these chapters and rewriting them to suit the new direction she wishes to take the series in.

Similarities to other works
 The following paragraph was removed from the main article because it doesn't feel like it should be in the primary article about Glass Mask Utawoutau (talk) 13:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Certain stylistic elements of Glass Mask are quite similar to those of sports manga and anime such as Attack No. 1 and Ace o Nerae!, such as the heroine's complete and total devotion to her craft, a struggle to persevere in the face of crippling self-doubts and lack of support from family and peers, and training programs that are often quite grueling and brutal. During one rehearsal, Tsukikage is unhappy with Maya for not reaching the emotional peak needed to perform the scene and slaps her repeatedly until she gets it right. The rivalry between Maya and Ayumi mirrors that between Hiromi and Reika in Ace o Nerae!, or Kozue and Yoshimura in Attack No. 1. Utawoutau (talk) 13:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
