Talk:Stellvia

Untitled
"Universe" is a possible translation of "uchuu", but it's usually the wrong one; "space" would be better.
 * Maybe, but it's better known by the fans as "Stellvia of the Universe": Google reports 378,000 hits.


 * Since there is no official translation of the full title - in the US is it simply called Stellvia - would it not be better the name the article just 'Stellvia' as well? Shiroi Hane 03:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Is there any opposition to moving this article to Stellvia? Shiroi Hane 15:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree; there is some precedent for this once a title is officially released in English. I say move to Stellvia and change the beginning of the text to Stellvia (宇宙のステルヴィア, Stellvia of the Universe) is an anime series... --Patrick Bernier 14:50, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

'Near' future?
Uhhh, I wouldn't call over 300 years to be anywhere near the "near future" timeframe. Heck, that's the same time period Star Trek: The Next Generation is supposed to take place! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.10.235 (talk • contribs)

Supernova Star
The 'Hydrus Beta' name for the supernova is a translation error- they kept the name in its Japanese form. In English it should be Beta Hydri. Is it alright to change so that the link to the real star can be used? CFLeon 00:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I was thinking the same thing when watching the series, but it may still be a fictional star. Technically, Beta Hydri is not a star in a class that normally goes supernova, since it's very similar to our sun. (Unless the aliens caused it to explode in that manner somehow). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.19.140.9 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC-7)


 * It's the same star, and there's a reason it went supernova while being an "ordinary" star. I've seen the series and can answer why if you'd like, though it's a fairly large spoiler. ~Kylu ( u | t )  22:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.


 * There are, in Stellvia, four basic "issues" that Mankind has to deal with:
 * The primary, energy, part of the Hydrus Beta supernova. Mankind was neither expecting nor prepared for this, and was decimated as a result. Another disaster would wipe out the race entirely.
 * The secondary part of the supernova, chunks of slower-moving matter comes around 200 years after the primary wave of disaster. In the years in between, all of humanity has been focused on one task: Saving Earth from this disaster.
 * Another "problem" is the aliens who seem to be curious about humanity and its plight, though at various stages it appears that they are hindering humanity's struggle against the final threat:
 * A cosmic string, which turns out to be the actual reason for the destruction of Hydrus Beta. It disrupted the star, causing its supernova, and followed the gravity wells towards the next convenient star in its path: the Sun. Humanity's continued survival now depends on the ability to somehow destroy the cosmic string.

Spoilers end here.


 * Even if it's a spoiler, you'll still like watching the series. ~Kylu ( u | t )  00:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Amazon Prime Video
I discovered the series in 2020 on Amazon Prime UK. Presumably it's available via AP worldwide, though I don't have any information as to when it was added. Is inclusion on Amazon Prime notable? Lee M (talk) 05:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Since the above the show has become pay-only on Prime. That's an infuriating habit they have. Lee M (talk) 03:58, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
