Someone familar with the series please add the length in episodes. It would be apreciated TomStar81 02:39, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
TvTome says it is 26 episodes, with Season 1 being 17 eps, and Season 2 being 9 eps. TvTome episode list --169.139.185.1 13:59, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
- 'Second season' was aired seperately due to low ratings performance, replaced by 24 in its timeslot --KaranJ
- 24 as in the American TV show? How weird. --Cyde 06:51, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Added the length for ya Tom, also, thanks for fixing my date 141.149.178.111, I feel dumb on that one. -Cyraan 21:16, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Might need to correct this - the article calls the manga version an "adaptation" of the anime version even though it was released before the anime started. —Tokek 05:35, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- The manga is an adaption of the anime. The anime was planned first, and a manga commissioned --KaranJ
Some superficial things that could be added:
- Mugen couldn't read up until the second season, I believe. He was then taught and participated in the graffiti contest to win Momo-san's affection (which is weird when Fuu asked if Momo was male or female..san?)
- 'san' as an honourific is gender neutral. He felt the need to learn how to read as a result of being laughed at, and was forcibly taught by a minor character. --KaranJ
- Plot loophole - Mugen despises authority and being told what to do. It wasn't so much forcibly as just the derision of his companions. See: every other episode where he's recalcitrant as can be.
- 'san' as an honourific is gender neutral. He felt the need to learn how to read as a result of being laughed at, and was forcibly taught by a minor character. --KaranJ
- Jin's glasses are just for show.
- this is a spoiler --KaranJ
- Jin did kill his master in self-defense.
- this is a spoiler --KaranJ
- There's a spoiler warning for a reason. Other articles routinely give away the entire plotline to various animes/games/books, what have you. It's a representation of the facts. Whether these presented are trivial or not is up for debate, but witholding something so that someone's enjoyment of the series will not be spoiled? They have their own decision to make in reading.
- Didn't notice the spoiler warning on my previous read through. Request it be moved to the top. --KaranJ

- It is partially historically accurate, more in the way of paying homage to events that really transpired. The free fansubs make extensive note of these facts being used as almost in-jokes among the writers of the series.
anyone else wish to contribute to this list?
Question, though. How is Jin's glasses being for show a spoiler? I barely even realised it and it didn't change the story at all.
