I think it would be great to include a very small obituary column into the anime episodes list. It is a nontrivial aspect of the anime that people die in almost every episode.

Meersan 13:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC) See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles) for style guidelines on naming and other issues in articles related to Japanese subjects. Western order should be used now that it is the most common in English-speaking parts of the world, with a note added to that effect. The article predates the R1 (English) release. Since these are real characters whose real names are not ordered in western style, should this be changed?Īnd just for the sake of it, why does Wikipedia even follow the secondary source, the dub of an anime, in preference to the real thing to begin with? In addition, the historical character names listed at the bottom of the page are presented in western order here, but they link to biographical pages which list their name in japanese order. Since it seems to be policy to follow the dub in this case, should this be changed? This article features the names of fictional characters, which are presented in western order in other anime articles, but not here. Support - Squilibob 00:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC) Name format
Since the nature of the anime/manga is that most of the core characters die during the series, and the manner and timing of their deaths is extremely important to the plot, not having a spoiler warning on the characters section is likely to result in most of the plot being given away, which would "substantially diminish many readers'. This is also somewhat deceptive, as the plot summary section specifically does not contain any information not given in the first episode of the series, or presumably the first manga. OK, so I realise now that I've entered into a policy war on spoilers, but before even knowing about that, I had the experience of reading the article, getting to the characters section, and realising that, in giving details on the characters, the section gave away large portions of the plot. 13 Fair use rationale for Image:Basilisk Kouga.jpg.12 Fair use rationale for Image:Basilisk Iga.jpg.
