Anime adaptation

[edit]

I've seen announcements that an anime version will come out in February 2007. Can someone add the info when it's out? Ninja neko 21:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seiko-chan

[edit]

I believe there's a wikipedia rule that people should be referred as to their identified gender, and so the section on Seiko-chan should probably use only female pronouns. 69.12.130.234 07:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Format for episode lists

[edit]

You may want to take note of {{Japanese episode list}} for formatting the episode list; parameters are listed on the talk page, and you can see it in action, for ex, here. For the Japanese titles, ANN has a list. —Quasirandom (speak) 21:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Having an option to add summaries for each episode can spawn a lot of overly detailed plot descriptions though... Ninja neko (talk) 14:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it can. Generally, you want to keep them to a couple sentences. Fortunately, the template makes it looks obviously bad when the summary goes on too long. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, I've converted the list over to the template. If summaries are added and get to long, well, that becomes an consensus editing issue. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Info of note

[edit]

Viz plans to release the live action movie in English in 2008: http://www.popcultureshock.com/our-favorite-manga-of-2007/43033/

The English manga was a top editor's pick at popcultureshock.com: http://www.popcultureshock.com/our-favorite-manga-of-2007/43033/

Mentioned in passing in case someone else has a chance to add these to the article before I do. The latter could make the start of a Reception section, collecting reviews and awards notice. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which two I've now added, along with another review. Need more! more! (And then after that, we can start working on a section on influences on the series. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the extra cover

[edit]

Given to the Foundation's edict to use as little non-free/fair-use media in Wikipedia as possible, I'm removing the cover of volume 16. The current guidelines are to have only one for the series and to combine as many character portraits as possible, and given the current one in the infobox has both Risa and Otani, having another just for Otani is superfluous. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Movie review

[edit]

In case someone gets a chance to use this before I do, here's a link to a review of the movie. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Love*Com?

[edit]

Viz and Madman both call it Love*Com. The movie is Love Com the Movie. The Japanese covers call it Rabu★Con (ラブ★コン). The covers disambigiuate it with "Lovely*Complex" (or sometimes "Lovely♥Complex"), but all indications are that the official title really is Love*Com and not Lovely Complex. Thus, I think this page needs to be moved to the correct title. Any objections? —Quasirandom (talk) 02:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

none apparently —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.249.176.77 (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So it would seem. Time to do the deed. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been moved to Love Com per Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Special characters. The ★ is a special character which should not be used in the article title itself. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:09, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As is, apparently, the * alternative. Even though without punctuation, the title is incorrect, oh well. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:21, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Since sister complex's contraction is siscom, I think it's safe to say the correct contraction for lovely complex would be lovecom, or in this case LoveCom. So I think we sould move it to LoveCom. Kazu-kun (talk) 20:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Check the Viz pages: they use Love★Com in all graphics and either Love Com or Love*Com in text -- never without a space. So that wouldn't be an official translation. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews for reception

[edit]

A place to put review/reception links, for use by all:

Feel free to add to the compilation, or strike out ones you use. —Quasirandom (talk) 22:52, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone who reads Russian work out whether this site is a reliable source? Not to mention, what about this Polish site? —Quasirandom (talk) 20:31, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

controversy dub

[edit]

should prob be updated to include the stuff about the writers hating the show and changing the plot etc and then writers being fired after it came outMuur (talk) 23:25, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide a reliable source covering this? I haven't heard anything about this. Xexerss (talk) 23:31, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
idk which count as reliable but theres some stuff here https://bnnbreaking.com/world/us/discotek-medias-response-to-lovely-complex-dub-controversy-balancing-translation-and-creativityhttps://nichegamer.com/lovely-complex-dub-writer-we-made-it-good-this-show-sucked/ https://epicstream.com/article/lovely-complex-dub-controversy-explained-jelloapocalypse https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1apa78c/discotek_media_will_cease_working_with_the_lovely/ Muur (talk) 00:58, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reddit is a WP:USERG source, so it doesn't count. Not sure about the other two sites, but if we were to add this event, I think a brief mention in the Anime section would be enough. I'd say that it would be better to wait and see if this gets more coverage though. Xexerss (talk) 01:44, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Be advised! Fake controversy surrounding the english dub is being used by internet trolls on Twitter/X to fuel a targeted harassment campaign against anime localizers, particularly women and members of the LGBTQ community. The campaign is being pushed by the usual suspects. Wikipedia should not fall for it. 46.97.170.155 (talk) 10:04, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The controversy is not fake. Furthermore, caring about the preservation of the authorial intent of a piece of media is not exclusive to fringe ideologues, nor does it require a sexist or homophobic attitude. If anything, there is an argument to be made that by acting in bad faith and potentially breaching contract (alleged), this individual sought to damage or overwrite the reputation of a shōjo manga series (written by a female mangaka, no less) which as a subgenre is often underrepresented or ignored in discussions of the medium for being too 'girly' or 'unserious'. Zetagaming (talk) 06:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not there was actual malpraxis is irrelevant to the broader discussion. This controversy does not exist in a vacuum. It's a direct followup to a targeted harassment campaign against anime localizers, particularly women, such as Jamie Marchi (by many of the same people who were harassing her back during the Vic Mignogna scandal), which came in response to localizers, translators and voice actors trying to speak up against being replaced by AI. The trolls are signal-boosting what is a minor instance of bad faith behavior by a single translator, in order to manufacture post hoc justification for their abhorrent behavior. It is my humble opinion, that any story that could potentially be used to peddle pro-gamergate rhetoric should be approached carefully. 46.97.170.155 (talk) 11:46, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. There should be a line drawn between what should be considered newsworthy. In this case, I honestly think the dub controversy isn’t that significant of an event to justify including in this article. Especially if ,like mentioned earlier, it is something that was overblown by “anti-woke” trolls. But, if you still insist that this is newsworthy information, then I recommend including more information from both sides of the debate in order to maintain balance. Again, I want to reiterate that I do not have 100% agree with this section inclusion. LupinTheThird0227 (talk) 14:04, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
