Untitled

I don't know much about this series yet, but wanted to preemptively get a header up with the novels mentioned. I'll add more as soon as I know more. Doceirias 04:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This site might be a good source of information. http://irohanihoheto.typepad.com/seirei_no_moribito/ It seems to mainly contain translations of material from the Japanese Wikipedia, but there's also translations of other sources. 83.252.167.175 08:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Split?

Maybe we should make this a page for the anime (and first novel) and split the Guardian series off into its own page. The anime is specifically based on only the first book in the series, and the entire novel series has been picked up for translation. Doceirias 05:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Went ahead and did this. Hopefully it should make it easier to expand things. Doceirias 09:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mightn't it be better if we didn't include the first novel, since details and characters are very different? 16:59, 21 January 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.33.138.222 (talk)

The page should be about the first novel, as the original work. The anime expands the book's mid section, but it isn't that different; there ought to be a way we could keep them both on the same page neatly. Doceirias (talk) 20:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seirei no Moribito

Adult Swim's bumps have been calling this "Seirei no Moribito" all week long, suggesting that this is one of the relatively few series to be released in English under its romaji name. Should we go ahead and move the article, or wait for it to actually air and see what it's called then? —Dino guy 1000 18:14, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title comes from the novel. Doceirias (talk) 18:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, and to think I'd forgotten about that. What about the list of episodes, then? Should that be renamed (yet)? —Dino guy 1000 18:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd wait and see. Press releases had all used the translated name. Doceirias (talk) 19:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All right. Just to let you know, though, AS's latest revised schedule refers to it as "Moribito" as well. —Dino guy 1000 16:27, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The title card renders it "Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit". Guess it's settled, then (or is it? meh...). —Dino guy 1000 19:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's the title the novel used as well, so yeah. Time to move the page.Doceirias (talk) 01:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All right, I'll go ahead and move this and the episode list, then. —Dino guy 1000 17:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Voices

Is there any list that shows both the English and the Japanese voices for characters in the anime? 75.105.128.39 (talk) 08:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Follow the link to the Anime News Network at the bottom of the page. The character list will sometimes include voice credits for the major roles. May not have been updates with the English credits yet. Doceirias (talk) 12:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cover image

I was just adding a free use rationale to the cover image to keep it from being deleted, but it occurs to me that we shouldn't be using the Japanese cover with the book out in English. Anyone have the US release cover? Doceirias (talk) 17:10, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... Amazon.com does... —Dino guy 1000 17:22, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but Amazon doesn't like us swiping images from them without a link back to their listing. I think. Was hoping someone had picked up the book to scan it. Doceirias (talk) 18:05, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huh... really? I had no idea... That certainly makes it harder for us, then... How about this one? —Dino guy 1000 18:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~poke~ —Dino guy 1000 20:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Names

Is there any explanation for the decidedly un-Japanese names of Balsa and Chagum? Are they Ainu or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 06:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The book isn't set in Japan. Doceirias (talk) 16:31, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where, then? The article says they're Japanese fantasy novels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.208.51 (talk) 17:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're confusing "set in" with "written/published in". The books were originally written and published in Japan, hence the description "Japanese fantasy novels". However, the events of the books are set in the fictional country of Yogo and the surrounding lands, loosely based on feudal Japan (as I understand it). —Dino guy 1000 22:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay then. I guess the question would be: why does EVERYONE ELSE have a Japanese name except those two? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 23:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would be something to ask the author, since the names weren't changed in the translation (and I'm not entirely convinced that the other names are Japanese, either... just FYI). —Dino guy 1000 18:27, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has a Japanese name. The native names do resemble the Japanese alphabet a bit more than those of the imperial family or Balsa's country, but none of those names are Japanese. Doceirias (talk) 16:44, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I can be forgiven for being misinformed when I've only gotten to see three episodes, since those appear to be the only three episodes AS wants to air at a decent time slot.. :p —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 06:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's when a DVR comes in handy. ;) —Dino guy 1000 23:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reception links

Wanted to stash these reviews here in case someone can use them before I get a chance:

The latter got enough mainstream reviews, though, especially in the wake of the ALA award, that we may not have to use that last one. Feel free to either digest these in the article or add other review links here. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:58, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
