 * Symbol question.svg A recent good article, hook is sourced. No close paraphrasing or neutrality detected. My only concern is that the hooks are not necessarily "hooky" as the reviewing guide would put it. It seems relatively common for something to redone over the years and for an anime to be split into two parts. I would think that would be a more interesting fact that can be pulled from the article that is more unique for this topic. Aoba47 (talk) 20:27, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That counts one-shot projects? MCMLXXXIX  20:41, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I would suggest finding something is more unique for this manga/anime that cannot be easily applied to other materials if that makes any sense. Aoba47 (talk) 21:03, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I added two alts. MCMLXXXIX  21:20, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

ALT3 seems the most appropriate to me. I have struck out ALT2 and slightly tweaked ALT3. Everything looks good to go on my end. Aoba47 (talk) 21:43, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
