RE Tokyo Mew Mew (Again)
Hi Yumi,

Thanks for all the citations you have added. I have removed the original research templates from English adaptations of Tokyo Mew Mew, there are few enough outstanding citations to allow Inline notes.

Would you mind my adding a few stuff to your todo list? That way we can co-ordinate better. (I will only add stuff I can update, and I will indicate it as such)

Regards, G.A.S 10:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Heh, that wasn't only me, poor Angelofdeath275 had to read the English manga again, to find the pages which could be used for citations.


 * Of course, you can add new "tasks" to my to-do list; if there's anything else that needs improvement, I would like to know it. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk


 * Thanks, G.A.S 12:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Yume, (Got it right this time:)
 * It seems like the table Tokyo Mew Mew's name might need changing —– or some content needs removing. What do you think?


 * I have noticed that there seems to be disagreement between the articles regarding the references / translation in the characters' names. (Or is it only me?)
 * Eg. Ichigo Momomiya: "Name Translation: 'いちご Ichigo'=Strawberry, '桃 Momo'=peach, '宮 miya'=shrine" and the table "Ichigo Momomiya 	桃 momo 	pink 	宮 miya 	temple"
 * Regards, G.A.S 17:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

With the "momo" kanji, 桃 momo by itself means "peach", but 桃色 momo-iro means "pink" - and in case of Ichigo, it clearly refers to her signature color. This will probably need some note in both articles. Like "the kanji 桃 momo (peach) is a reference to the signature color, pink, which is called 桃色 momo-iro in Japanese". For "shrine"/"temple"... don't know, maybe mention both words in both articles?.. Or... does it even count as a "geografical feature"? 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 17:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with the current edits. Temple — no. Shrine — ?. I am unsure I know I'm being technical, but you can clearly see why. (I'll check the articles when I have enough time for editing – unfortunately my editing time, as opposed to QC and review, is very limited.) — G.A.S 17:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

RE
I see the page your talking about in the English version.

"So, I suppose this is how the manga shows what the last two episodes of the anime show with normal/pale skin color (as the manga doesn't use colors)?"

I think so. In the manga, after Deep Blue severly hurts Kish (after him talkin to Ichigo n' passing out). Masaya's personalty arises, w/ regualar human ears. I believe is worth mentioning. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 22:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Now the question is where to add this. It won't look good if just randomly placed in the article... 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk
 * It might work in the anime vs. manga section (not yet started), but in such a case, all similar facts might be moved. Should we maybe use the sandbox for this until the section is good enough to be placed in the main article? — G.A.S 07:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I have to say that...
Moved from article:

Mints age = 11 - This stems from Ichigo's incorrect manga age. Moreover, this site is not reliable - I can tell by some statements... Unless I happen to see her age stated in the *original Japanese manga*, as Tokyopop's translation has tons of errors, I won't put ANY citations here. YnK - And, BTW, she is in the same grade - she can't be 11 in the 7th grade!

...so far, I've never seen any Japanese TMM website that says the characters' ages are different in the manga and anime. Unless I somehow manage to get scans from the original manga where the ages are stated, I wouldn't put anything about their ages in the articles, because most of the English sites use info from Tokyopop's manga - and we already know that it contains tons of mistakes. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk


 * I have removed the age and comment from the article and asked AoD to look it up.
 * It would have been easier to mark it with ([this source's reliability may need verification])
 * Regards, G.A.S 07:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * ...The only problem is that AngelofDeath has the English manga, where one can't be sure if the translation is correct. They did change Ichigo's age, after all. No, I need the info from the original - but have no clue where to get it. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk


 * Seems like we may need another The debate on Mint's age section:)
 * I'll try to keep my eyes open, I know of a few non-English sites

 * ^_^; Yeah...
 * I have to admit that it's pretty hard to edit the articles about the Japanese manga without actually reading the Japanese manga. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 07:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That something so trivial could cause so much problems... Maybe we should rather concentrate on something (more) important. Regards, G.A.S 06:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

RE ages
I have another idea. There are 5 inch dolls of the original TMM. on the back of one set it lists facts like the profiles in their articles. I really think this is where the Mint's, Lettuce's, Pudding's, and Zakuro's age came from, cause they aint from the manga (but will have to confirm w/ the Japanese version), and I believe you said a while ago their ages are never said in the manga. I guess a footnote about the dolls would work, like what you did w/ the blue knight's article. Mia mentions the dolls, saying she "was thrilled because Takara Inc. listened to most of my little requests!" She says she was able to direct alot of details".  THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 21:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

WAIT...their ages arent said on the dolls either (but lists b-day height so still can be used for that)!..so WHERE DID THEIR AGES COME FROM??? I'm now in a twist.....THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 21:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

TMM websites and citations
Hi Yume

Hope you do not mind, but I have expanded your ToDo page with TMM websites and descriptions. If you know of more, please add them, it will make the coordination of adding citations and content a lot easier. Regards, G.A.S 22:53, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

RE Notes in TMM
Hi Yume,

It seems like we can split notes from citations in TMM, this is successfully used in Che Guevara. Should we do it, since it will allow for a better layout, esp. for the reborn vs ribbon thing, age disputes, references to colors in names, etc, etc. (i.e. in the main article we use the correct translation, and explain it below, without having to worry about it taking up too much space)

Regards, G.A.S 10:10, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * This seems to be what I tried to do with footnotes in some articles, I used them for comments - to avoid inserting comments right in the text, since it doesn't look good. But there they are still together with references, even though they're really content notes. I think it's a good idea to separate them from references. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 10:40, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Wow... Compared to this, all of our colors look good... 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 08:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the new infobox can be added to the articles. Use your judgement when deciding on the color, or leave it as is. Remember to:drop the Kanji from the title bar and to use only one image - not as a thumbnail - per infobox. I think the non morphed (normal) picture of the Mews are the better one for Zakuro and Mint, the Morphed image for Ichigo, Pudding and Lettuce, the other picture can be used further down in the article.

Wah... this is probably why AngelofDeath was against infoboxes at first... ^_^; To put inside the box the whole profile... and use such colors... I like the new infoboxes.

Volume 6 notes
I went to the book store and read vol. 6. Here stuff that I believe are notible and can be used as citations.


 * Masha says "Kiss! Kiss!" page 4 (as opposed to the "pi"s and tweets). [Added]


 * Keiichiro speaking about Ryou's past: "He was an international expert on umas. But on day..." pg 5 what is a uma? I was thinking horse, but not sure, since it doesnt go w/ TMM's story."


 * "Ribbon Zakuros Pure!" pg 26. Its spelled this way through out the enitre book. [Added]


 * Masaya transforms into the Blue knight: pg 59 (shows transformation) 60 (Ichigo sees) [Added]


 * Pie's manga attacks: "Blade of thunder! Blade of lightening!" pg 96


 * on page 18, It shows Masaya having a dream of Ichigo in danger. Then when TMM is fighting a monster, Ichigo is being attacked by it and masaya senses it (pg 28). A few pages later (page 35), The Blue Knight helps TMM fight the monster (called xeno jelly made by pie shown being made pg 24).


 * On page 62, when it is revealed to Ichigo the Blue Knight is masaya, he says he has dreams of Ichigo in danger (he senses her in danger). When he does, he wishes for one thing: to protect her. Directly connected to why he says he was born to protect her.


 * Mia presenting Ringo pg 187


 * Zakro figures out Blue knight is masaya pg 120


 * Straw-bell bell pg 26. Shocking. They rominized it correctly. But this is the ONLY time it is. [Added]


 * Kish says "I love you" to Ichigo pg 56. Later on he ends up crying as to why he doesnt like her. Dont see a mention of this in his article. [Added]


 * Did the Shirogane family have a maid (pg 6)?


 * Pudding "helps" Ichigo return to human form pg 15. only one time. [Added]


 * citation update: Indigo comet blade on pg 39. only used once in the whole series. other time he just does an attack. [Added. What do you mean "just does an attack?"]


 * masaya gives hint to being blut knight by saying he doesnt want Ichigo to fight, similar to what the blue knight said pg39 [Added]

"just does an attack?"

Toward the end of volume 6, when the Mews are going to drowned by water, he does an attack that cracks the ground an saves them, but he doesnt say anything, just a yell. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 20:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Mystery of Grades solved?
I've noticed that on the Mew's pages you leave hidden notes. Well on the dolls again, it has their grades on the back I think. Heres what it says:

Mint: 中１

Lettuce:中２

Pudding:小６

Zakuro:中３I believe it also says something about her parents. This is what it says:

両親が忙しくびとりは慣れているとはいえ,孤独. I know "両親が忙し" means parents are busy" "慣れ" being accustomed" and "孤独" Loneliness. I guess it translates to "Her parents are always busy (never home), so shes accustomed to being by herself". Probably ties to why she didnt join the Mew at first.

I dont have the Ichigo doll. I guess the ages can be approximated from this. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 21:47, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Their grades do match what the Japanese Wikipedia says about the ages, but it conflicts with the current MMPU citations, so I'm not sure what to do with this. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 23:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, MMPU isn't perfect, and Japanese Wikipedia would have more true info on things (TMM was relased in Japan first w/o being bothered by translation errors, and crappy American adaptation, and merchandise). THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 03:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Blue lorikeet?
The Japanese Wikipedia also lists Mint as being infused with the DNA of a Blue Lorikeet, and ノドジロルリインコ also ends up as a Blue Lorikeet (List of parakeets on the Japanese Wikipedia — All names are also listed in English). The Finnish version also has her infused with a Blue Lorikeet (better translation, I guess). Weird though, as the Ultramarine Lorikeet is much more endangered. Where did Ultramarine Lory come from then? The articles will need some updating. G.A.S 13:04, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll say I found it strange... Ultramarine Lory, Vini ultramarina, is コンセイインコ, if I'm not mistaken, so - yes, wrong species... I don't know where it came from, maybe some translations done by somebody who didn't know they're not the same... (though they do seem to be close) 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 13:28, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, TMM's episode 19 has it as ノドジロルリインコ ("White throared Lapis Lazuli (blue) parakeet"), (episode 12 as well ("Tahiti Blue Lory"), but they don't provide the kanji), even 4kids had this one right ("unofficial" episode 1 - they even mention "the rare blue ...").

Wouldn't just be better to do that with certain citations in which it is different with the Japanese manga (example being "reborn")? I'm checking citations right now if it true for the Japanese manga and if anything isn't i'll add the page number. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 00:59, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Its only the first time. And this isnt true for the other Mews. The first time they say it, its in katakana. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 02:23, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm... could that be the reason why Tokyopop mistranslated it when it was used for the first time?.. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk

if thats the reason for juat rominizing...thats pathetic...if your a translator, you should know the Japanese tend to write some words in katakana for emphsis, and vice versa.... THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 00:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

"Wow, Azumi's attacks are rather badly translated... Tokyopop seems to like making things simplier... Then again, they are in kanji, so they are more difficult to translate than the Mews' attacks (where TP made mistakes even translating from katakana... >.<)"

If your a translator for a company, that  saying your fluent in the language. Tokyopop's translations of Azumi's are very saddening...

"That reminds me... of one thing... "Indigo Comet Blade". I bet this one also has a poor translation... Can you find it in the Japanese manga? BTW - does Tart have named attacks in the manga (like "Ho-Rai-Den" from the anime)?"

Blue Knight: 'll add it his article if its correctly translated or not. Tart doesnt have attacks named. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 00:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

and why did you move Bagu to Baku??? THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 01:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

That last I wanna do is use Tokyopop's translations of things. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 01:54, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they have to be moved to a content note section. It would look better. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 02:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Episode lists
I think something will have to be done with the episode lists: none of the featured episode lists at WikiProject Anime and manga are in so much detail, and the current list is somewhat difficult to read.

I know this will be the exactly opposite move of the one before.

How difficult will it be to expand the list detail into separate articles? It seems like the articles can get away with very little info, for instance Ah! A Goddess's Love Can Save the Ninjas!. That way we have enough space in the separate articles for all the original air dates, links, names in other languages etc. etc. It also allows a discussion about the episode in question.

This can very well lead to the first featured item for TMM. Just think about it.

 * I can write more detailed summaries for them, to place on separate pages, or add some more info on other details (not the plot), but that'll be only after the exams (i.e. around the end of next week). I like the idea. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 00:57, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not supposed to be just a recital of the plot, more information will be required. I can actually help with the plot details, grammar, etc. None of us should attempt it alone, though. (52 episodes will take any one too long.)


 * We should first plan the basic layout (eg sections, order) because if we decide to change anything later, it will be 52x the trouble to do so.


 * Even with the current amount of details scattered across the pages, we can come up with something decent for each episode

but not any of the TMM articles (check IP's contributions). I've noticed that the IP first makes like 1-4 edits on another article, than vandalizes TMM. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 17:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Re Comment

 * RE. I'm starting to dislike the whole idea of a split history section, because it implies focusing on the plot instead of the character, and leads to redundancy.......: I do not like the sections a lot, but it gives nice information. I see in some Sailor Moon a, b, but not c it is done in the profile section. This is typically one of the things that could be moved to the relevant episodes' articles. We can explain in the specific articles that if events in the anime is different, how it took place in the manga.
 * We should work to get the profile sections into paragraphs rather than lists, though, as is done in the French Wikipedia, I think it is more comfortable to read. It adds a lot more body to the article, without needing a lot more information. It will also allow us to explain some things about the character (if needed/applicable).
 * Obviously physical characteristics cannot easily be added in paragraphs — but a physical appearance section might work.
 * What do you think?
 * G.A.S 17:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I haven't decided what to do with this yet, but looking at SM articles, they look much better...
 * We already have the two-part episode list with summaries, so the anime part of the history section is obviously redundant, if it only describes the plot.
 * Furthermore, the manga/anime parts of the "history" don't really do any good, because the story in general is usually pretty much the same in both versions. This leads either to redundancy (and a somewhat in-universe look) or to the anime section only describing the differences. I don't know if it's good to make separate sub-sections for the two versions. Wait... even four versions. Putting everything (including English adaptation) into one section allows comparing all versions without the need to repeat anything.
 * Speaking of the characters' appearance, there are also differences between the manga and anime versions - they can easily be put into normal text instead of just notes in the lists. (Too bad I don't have the manga...)
 * 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 18:16, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The way I see it is that the first appearance can be mentioned in a single sentence:
 * Both the anime and manga can fit in the lead, or the first section (SM: "Profile" section) — if needed, this can be linked to the episode's article (but not the current list).
 * Then we can worry about the other details – i.e. how the manga is different – in the episodes' articles later (after we add them).
 * The characters' physical characteristics and appearance can easily be explained in normal text as you said.

pictures
"The animation/artwork underwent several changes around the later episodes of season 2 – mainly around episodes 40 to 52 – where the characters start to look more detailed and more bishojo/bishonen. For example, the style for Kish and Zakuro Fujiwara drastically changed in the later episodes. The animation style experienced other minor changes during the series, but this is the most noticeable."

I've gotten two pictures of Zakuro, but I'm not sure if I should upload them to show her appearence did change:

http://cafemewmew.sukosuko.com/images/screencaps/dvd002/129.png - this is from her first appearnce episode 10.

http://cafemewmew.sukosuko.com/images/screencaps/dvd009/064.png - I dont know which episode, but cafe mew mew says its from DVD #9

 * Well, the problem is that one pic shows her in normal form, and another - in Mew form. Better stick to one appearance. And I think I could get better pics. Can this thing wait till the end of the week? 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk

sure. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 02:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I do not think it is necessary to upload the pictures per se, maybe external links are OK in this case; but the text need to explain what these changes are. Regards, G.A.S 20:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it's safe to just say that the aliens start to look more human towards the end; my guess it is because they were originally presented as villains, but later it is revealed that the case is much more complicated - as Lettuce often points out, they have the same feelings as humans. (From the two pics of Kish I have on photobucket, he really looks more human towards the end of the series, compared to his first appearance.) But I'm not sure if we can just describe the changes - it's too much of OR... 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk

Zakuro's triva
someone add this trivia:

"It is rumored that either Zakuro's parents are either in America or they could possibly be dead. (See episodes 35 and 42 for reference)."

true or not? THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 13:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't remember such statements in the anime. In episode 35, there's a flashback to a younger Zakuro sitting alone at the table - she remembers this when she sees Momoka (whose parents are too busy to be with her on her birthday). Nothing is said about her own parents. Episodes 42-43 say she lost someone important to her because they "were confused by what other people say and doubted each other even at the last moment" (also this is the reason why she is often seen in a church). In ep.42 she is shown reading a letter: "To my dear Zakuro. It's been almost two years since you left home. [...] We don't know if you ever forgave us for what happened back then, yet we're waiting for you to return whenever it might be." (After reading this, she has a flashback of herself crying over a man's body, saying "Why didn't you believe me?") I personally got an impression that the letter was from her parents, and the person she lost was her boyfriend. 夢の騎士 Yume no Kishi - Talk 13:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with Yume: that is also how I understand it. (Unless the manga is different, but then the reference doesn't work)

 * True, but if we add this IP to the report, and prove that it is a mere sockpuppet, the block for that IP will start at a long time, remember, his edits are always the same; and no other vandal could possibly think of the same edits. WP:AIAV report will be something like:
