To Do

Allright, let's try and get a little bit more done on this one than on Jing....What's stilll to do, apart from the epsiode list? I never heard about Da Capo, but there seems to be plenty of material around the web...--SidiLemine 11:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The collaboration entry also mentioned an expansion of the infobox to include the anime, and plot summaries for the two anime series. I'm thinking that's gonna make this a pretty big article, but we'll see what happens. Magus Melchior 19:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox looks good, there's still the plot summaries for the anime. I'll go and look for the first season, I think I saw some very short ones. It's always easier to add on a stub than to go and create a plot summary. --SidiLemine 13:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Game

Shouldn't there be a section describing the game(s)? Also, I looked for a plot and most reviews say ther isn't any to talk about. Maybe this could be mentioned. Any thoughts?

If it's like most other ren'ai games, the plot is nearly completely determined by the user, so putting every possible thread in here would be, well, excessive. I agree that there's not enough info on the games themselves. Magus Melchior 01:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Character differences?

A few recent edits to the character section brought to my attention that the game and anime present the characters ~~very~~ differently; for example, the anime says nothing about Moe having a habit of taking sleeping pills, nor does it say anything about Misaki possessing Yoriko's body. I'm thinking we should make the distinctions clear, as I only saw the anime and almost suspected vandalism when I saw the edit diffs. Magus Melchior 05:50, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eh. Well, anyway, reworked the character list. The Japanese DC article has been tagged with a split proposal, maybe we should do that here as well, given the amount of detail crammed into anime/manga and games alike? Magus Melchior 07:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for it. That way there won't be people trying to write an article on a game they haven't bloody played in a languagea they don't even understand. Omgwtflolz 20:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article isn't just about the game at this point. There were details from both the anime website and Japanese wikipedia that you deleted without discussion or edit summary, and frankly, that's really annoying. Fine. Tagging with a split proposal. Magus Melchior 21:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Like? I don't recall removing anything that wasn't utter nonsense. Omgwtflolz 09:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was one thing that was in Sakura's bio (the other detail, Jun'ichi's yakisoba "addiction" is admittedly minor):

Although she was raised for much of her life outside of Japan, she loves the island country and had amassed much knowledge about it.

This is a rough translation of parts of her D.C. bio on the anime website, and can also be corroborated in the production itself. Also, I'd caution against pulling stuff just because you think it's nonsense (did you see the anime?)—please discuss it here, or at least tell us why you're deleting it in the edit summary. Chances are, the material is in there for a good reason. Magus Melchior 15:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where? And guess what, what I removed was utter nonsense. This is fact. Since when was Junichi addicted to yakisoba? And, if you'd just play the damned game instead of making ridiculous assumptions, you'd know that Sakura was interested in period films and dramas (not Japan itself!) long before she even moved to America. Sorry for being blunt, but you obviously know next to nothing about the topic and thus really shouldn't be arguing over what's accurate and what's not. Omgwtflolz 19:48, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(大の日本かぶれ) Look, this probably won't get us anywhere, as you quite obviously prefer bluntness over etiquette or civility, nor have you seen either anime season (which is where you get the Jun'ichi's yakisoba love). I could retort in kind, but I think I'll just avoid this article. I don't enjoy being jumped on by a rude editor. Goodbye. Magus Melchior 01:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see how pointing out blatant facts goes against etiquette or civility. If anything, it's those unfounded accusations that're worthy of being branded such. Or are you saying that you actually know what's going on? But wait, you're demanding that I consult you before removing utter nonsense, so that can't be right, can it? Regardless. "Although she was raised for much of her life outside of Japan, she loves the island country and had amassed much knowledge about it." Now, where does the bolded bit come from? Oh, right, whoever stuck it into the article made it up. Hell, I'd say that it'd be pretty obvious to even anyone who hasn't touched the games or shows before if they'd just read the other half of the sentence you quoted from the site. Really nice how you ignored its existence. Omgwtflolz 03:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reworking basically EVERYTHING. Thanks for the groundwork, which was about 50% erronous at best.--Asahi Otaru (talk) 14:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some cleanup?

I think the character part need some cleanup. How do I put it, it's kind of hard to read and looks unorganized. --かがみ 16:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Working on it. The whole article in fact needs some serious cleanup. --Asahi Otaru (talk) 12:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seiyuu aliases

I personally don't think the aliases should be mixed up in the CV listings, and should be mentioned as they have been listed ingame or by cast. Whether wikipedia then redirects that link to the seiyuu's entry is another matter, but I believe that seiyuus should just be presented as they have been in the series and be respected to be known as the aliases they use. --Asahi Otaru (talk) 05:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Information about Hatsunejima

The link to the Hatusunejima article on the Japanese wiki is: ja:初音島 Who wants to take a crack at translating ALL THAT juicy info? --03:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Seen that entry many times, but information on that entry is not entirely relevant to this one, and if I were to do the translation I'd do it in a seperate article. Also, it should be noted that if we do start including so much of D.C.'s details we might have to end up splitting it like the Japanese version before it turns into one long mess.--Asahi Otaru (talk) 07:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

The article direly needs references and citations, and some central point of information. The subsections feel "awkward", and very list like given how narrow they are. It could easily be improved, just give it a go. Atm, it remains at Start class.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Naming convention

Okay, so recently I've acquired After Seasons (currently playing this one) and D.C. II, and I was thinking, wouldn't calling the title by D.C. After Season: Da Capo After Seasons (D.C. After Seasons ～ダ・カーポ～アフターシーズンズ) be a bit too long and sort of confusing? And seeing that before the title screens in the games, the game is referred as Da Capo: After Seasons and Da Capo II, as if the subtitles are furigana, (unless you are using Utamaru as your system voice, which would render the game's title be a bunch of nya's) so perhaps it would be better if we change the titles to just something like D.C.: Da Capo After Seasons or so? -- クラウド６６８ 22:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been concerned about the naming conventions since day one on this. For instance, I doubt many people refer to this series as D.C.: Da Capo, as I've only ever seen it referred to as Da Capo, and same goes for Da Capo II, and any other Da Capo game. Further, there's the guideline set out for using the common name of something or someone to make it easier for people to find the page. What with the repetitiveness that the titles have a tendency to get wrapped up in, how about we choose to scrap the "D.C." part, and just use Da Capo, Da Capo II, Da Capo: After Seasons, etc? Yes, we'll have to move this article to Da Capo (visual novel), but all the other ones will be simple and clearer. I mean, if we have Suika (visual novel) instead of Suika: Suika (due to the how the logo is written), then I don't see why we can't do this. The only thing then I am worried about is backlash from WP:MOS-ANIME#Article names and disambiguation which says to use the "official English" titles, of course as you know nothing but the original Da Capo game has been licensed and released in English in the entirety of the Da Capo franchise. And the kicker in that case is that the game is listed as "Da Capo" at MangaGamer's official website, so at least we'll have something to say if someone from WP:ANIME says anything. Also, MangaGamer has chosen to turn Hatsunejima into the "island of Hatsune", which I guess we could turn into "Hatsune Island" for use in the articles.--十八 00:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As much as I love referring (when typing or writing) it as D.C.: Da Capo, seeing that MangaGamer is referring to it as Da Capo, I suppose we should use that, as you have stated, would make titles of the fandiscs/spinoffs much simpler. And seeing that they are possibly being used as furigana, and we have Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru instead of Shōjo wa Onee-sama ni Koishiteru, I see no reason but not to use just simply Da Capo. At most, I suppose we can have a "commonly abbreviated as D.C." in the lead of the article. -- クラウド６６８ 03:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's really my first time to notice that's how Suika's logo is rendered as, by the way, after seeing the logo for so many times. -- クラウド６６８ 03:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
