Hello fellow Wikipedians, |
|||
I've made some pretty significant changes to the music section. I tried by best to clean up the English, which was a real chore, and I also changed some information about composers. The section originally stated that Yasuharu Takanashi only produced the two original soundtracks to the anime, while Edward Elgar and Sergei Rachmaninoff composed the music for them. This is completely not true. Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" appears in volume 1 of the soundtrack and is arranged by Takanashi, and Rachmaninoff's "Tower of Heaven ~ from Piano Concerto No.2 in C Minor Op.18" appears in volume 2 (and I don't know if this was arranged or not). Besides those and two other tracks in volume 2 arranged by two other people, Takanashi composed and produced ALL the music in the two soundtracks. Crediting composers whose works were arranged by a soundtrack's composer(s) is pretty nonstandard from what I've seen (that is, you generally won't see any sources listing a composer as a main credit when their work was simply arranged), so I've just removed all that information and credited Takanashi. If someone wants to add very detailed information about the music, just make sure to get it right. VGMdb has fairly detailed information about both of these soundtracks coming straight from the credits in their respective booklets, so check there before writing anything. |

The picture of the English VAs isn't really needed, no other Anime pages has it, it's making the page look untidy, the OVA section doesn't have it's lines in the right place.

I'm thinking about adding a setting section in the plot section, using [[One Piece]] (a GA) as a model. We could add settings like Earth-land and of course, the locales and races (i.e. Exceeds, wizards) and note the anachronisms.

|||
== No production section? == |
|||
:I remember there was a section that did exactly that. It was filled with locales and information that were only mentioned once, never visited, and were overall irrelevant to the story. The information that wasn't removed was instead woven into the plot summary where relevant, as it currently is, with only the essential information needed to understand these concepts (e.g., Exceed being cat-like), and links that contain further reading. Things that may be viewed as essential for a ''One Piece'' article do not always reflect what is essential for an article of another series.

::As you may recall, I was the one who added it in long ago before it was merged. Since the setting was merged not too long ago, should we rewrite the summary using the ''[[Dragon Ball (manga)|Dragon Ball]]'' article, which is also a GA, as another reference?

;Issues that need fixing |
|||
*Manga sections could use some refs for dates. For the special cross over, see if you can source it to its issue. |
|||
*Anime section states time issues for Animax Asia but a source does not seem to exist for it. Same with the statement about AXN. Citation issue also noted in that section. |
|||
*Not a big deal but the English letters attached with the Kanji should not be in all caps. |
|||
*The Taiwanese website for animax requests a user and password. |
|||
*Some references are missing publishers and are not consistent in their datings. |
|||
;Suggestions |
|||
*I'm not really sure about this but for video games, if something is licensed for Canada and USA, you can combine and label them as North America. I'm unsure about combining Australia and New Zealand as the [[Pacific Islands Forum]] though. Infobox seems messy, consider imitating [[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'s style. |
|||
*Consider merging the production section into the manga section |
|||
That's everything I can think of so far. [[User:DragonZero|<font color="Blue">DragonZero</font>]] ([[User talk:DragonZero#top|<small>Talk</small>]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/DragonZero|<small>Contribs</small>]]) 10:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC) |

==Vandalism Reverts== |
|||
Is there a reason why the plot section and link to the list of characters was not reverted after being removed in one of the recent bouts of vandalism this page has encountered? The other issues were reverted pretty quickly but this one was never restored, and IMO seems to be a rather important part commonly found on other such pages. It also leaves the character list orphaned. [[User:The one092001|the_one092001]] ([[User talk:The one092001|talk]]) 23:40, 5 March 2013 (UTC) |

|||
==Was the series intended to be only 48 episodes?== |
|||
[http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Episodes This wiki] contains an interesting claim that if verified with reliable sources could be added here: "Initially, the anime was supposed to last one season - until episode 48, but the series' massive popularity overturned this; it continued onto a second season of 47 episodes, a third season of 55 episodes and to a fourth season consisting of 25 episodes.". --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</font>]]</sub> 05:27, 30 May 2013 (UTC) |

Well we did get a video post on Youtube recently of Todd Haberkorn getting his Fairy Tail tattoo which means Funimation has dubbed 100 episodes. When that will be released is unknown. -[[User:AngusWOOF|AngusWOOF]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF|talk]]) 06:01, 30 May 2013 (UTC) |
|||
==Ecchi== |
|||
I believe that this series does qualify for the Ecchi genre. Fanservice is a very reoccurring element in the series alot more than most Shonens. Even though the fanservice isn't straight up adult rated its still a regular asset that occurs throughout the series. Other features such as the OVAs and movie also have it much heavier and even have the fanservice as a focus. I propose we add Ecchi to list of genres. Even though the amount of Ecchi is on the softcore side such as Love Hina it definitely has way more Ecchi than any other regular shonen does. - [[User:SuperTiencha|SuperTiencha]] ([[User talk:SuperTiencha|talk]]) 16:41, 16 July 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:First, I'd like to see a cite for the claim that FT is ecchi (otherwhise we are dealing with ORish territory). Second. It is true that OVAs/movies are more racy (and those I'd agree are ecchi), but this is a regular trend with many shows. At what point, however, does a show become ecchi? Is GitS ecchi? Yet I'd argue that the amound of nudity in GitS is the same as in Fairy Tail the movie... with regards to the regular show (manga...), yes, there are some elements of fanservice, but how much is enough to make this show fall into that category? For now I'd agree to the word ecchi only if accompanying by a footnote that would specify it refers primarily to OVAs (and manga, I guess?).--<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</font>]]</sub> 17:47, 16 July 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:: per infobox template: Genres should be based on what reliable sources list them as and not on personal interpretations. Limit of the three most relevant genres in accordance with [[MOS:A&M]] So unless you have reliable sources that primarily classify the show as an ecchi genre, I'd remove it. It's also on the [[WP:COATRACK]]. Oh, and it has about as much fanservice as the often compared [[One Piece]]. -[[User:AngusWOOF|AngusWOOF]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF|talk]]) 21:18, 16 July 2013 (UTC) |
|||
Fairy Tail has significantly more Fanserivce than One Piece does. One Piece didn't get fanservice until years into the series and even still its not that common in it and is nowhere as overboard. Fairy Tail has atleast 2-3 fanservice moments around every 5 chapters/episodes and even has OVAs focused on it. Fairy Tail even goes overboard with it at times such as having a recent chapter where Lucy got striped and shown naked the entire chapter, Lucy and Cana's bath scenes together and alot of the outfits characters wear emphasize on cleavage and sometimes butt. The usage of fanservice in the series happens very often and sometimes the fanservice even goes higher than some other Ecchi genre series. - [[User:SuperTiencha|SuperTiencha]] ([[User talk:SuperTiencha|talk]]) 02:41, 17 July 2013 (UTC) |
|||
: Well it could have more fanservice than some rom-coms, but what do the critics and reviewers say? And is it more prominent than its other categories? Here's Deb Aoki's About.com review for manga Volume 2: [http://manga.about.com/od/delreymanga/gr/FairyTail2.htm] -[[User:AngusWOOF|AngusWOOF]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF|talk]]) 04:57, 17 July 2013 (UTC) |
|||
Classify it as ecchi or not the episodes from around 100 onward have a lot of fanservice. The Tenrou Island arc in particular, starting with the bath scene and increasing from there with Urtear being the prime example, going so far as a detailed crotch shot in 106. The only reason I wouldn't use this classification is that even in these fanservice heavy episodes there are only one or two times panties are shown but numerous opportunities where shadow was used instead. It really seems to be testing how close it can get without gaining this label. |

|||
== Profit, Financing and Copyright Ownership == |
|||
Can someone add a section on the money side of Fairy Tail? How much money did it cost to make the anime series, manga and movies? Who was involved in financing it? How much profit did each make? And how much did each of the key staff and writers, directors, animators and illustrators earn from it? |
|||
Who owns the copyright to Fairy Tail? The manga writer Hiro Mashima, the anime writer Masashi Sogo, the manga publisher Kodansha, the animation studios that made the anime, or a producer or production company involved in financing it if there was one? |
|||
How much say does Hiro Mashima have in deciding what's written in the scripts for anime episodes? Does he have any say at all? |
|||
If no one knows, could someone reading this ask them if they ever visit an anime convention where there's a guest panel for Fairy Tail cast and crew? [[User:Lindisp|Lindisp]] ([[User talk:Lindisp|talk]]) 14:07, 24 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
: I doubt that the business details concerning the breakdown of earnings of the participants will ever be made available or whether any of that is even notable, but the production can be noted if you can find some sources, usually interviews with producers and directors, regarding arrangements and creative control. The box office figures were posted for the movie article. As for copyrights, I'm assuming it's whoever they list in the episode and the book. -[[User:AngusWOOF|AngusWOOF]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF|talk]]) 18:20, 24 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
== Infobox streamlining == |
|||
Can we change the 7 OVA mentions in the infobox to bullet lists as discussed in [[Talk:Attack on Titan#Excessive infoboxes]] and convert the excess data into prose? I dont think the infobox should be unnecessarily overlong for these episodes even if the series itself hasn't much else media to show for it.

|||
== Anime - Continued run == |
|||
The latest press release of the Fairy Tail anime lists the upcoming episodes of the new anime series starting with "Episode 176", continuing where the last anime left off. For this reason, I feel we should do what the ''[[Gin Tama]]'' page does and merge the "Fairy Tail New Series" section into the original anime section; we keep the "Original airdate" as is, but under that we add the new, ongoing airdate. [[User:Immblueversion]] ([[User talk:Immblueversion|talk]]) 14:07, 28 March 2014 (UTC) |
|||
: The Sequel is technically different, and i would say, it's a whole class below the original: Very cheap animation, lacking face expressions, faces aren't even representing the original, noisy gag-focussed boring storylines. They must have cut the budget quite a lot. Anyway, just by this reason, it should never be mixed. YMMV. |
|||
== Link to Fairy Tail wikia? == |
|||
Why aren't we linking to the useful resource that is Fairy Tail Wikia [http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page]? Please note that the argument that fansites like this violate WP:EL is not valid, I asked about this at [[Wikipedia:External_links/Noticeboard#Honorverse_wikia]] recently (where I note the example of Narutopedia Wiki, linked uncontroversialy from Naruto article). So if there are no other objections, I'll add a link to it to our elink section. As for number 12 at [[WP:ELNO]], it is slightly bigger than the Young Justice wikia ([http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/Young_Justice_Wiki]) which was approved at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links/Noticeboard/Archive_14#Young_Justice_Wiki]), seems stable and is actively maintained. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</font>]]</sub> 08:14, 28 June 2014 (UTC) |

Otherwise your argument would not be valid, as either the sites are similar and the rules apply to them too, or you are wrong and this is not a case of OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</font>]]</sub> 13:09, 30 June 2014 (UTC) |

: I've got issues with some of the wording on the wikis, such as its preference to use non-Kodansha English spellings such as Jellal Fernandes, Meredy, and Tenrou Island, and without explaining up front the variants. Also, how to estimate the stability and the large number of editors. -[[User:AngusWOOF|AngusWOOF]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF|talk]]) 21:24, 30 June 2014 (UTC) |

:I'm not a ''fan'' of fan-based sources or ELs. I'm inclined to believe (without bothering to check) that some one thought it was a good idea to put the Wikis on the Star Trek/Wars pages simply because they figured it was a good idea, and it just stuck. That's just my theory. Even if that's the case. That doesn't mean it is a good idea. Those pages get the same level of treatment that Wikipedia gives to fansubbing groups for obvious reasons. Especially since it is a playground for fan theories. I mean look at [http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Jon_Snow/Theories this for example.] Merely using that page to represent the fact that including such links poses the problem of making it seem that Wikipedia supports [[WP:OR]]. Thats just one of the problems with this.

The latest revision of the page claims Lucy is 16. I thought she was 17. Please keep this spoiler-free, though, I haven't watched the whole series yet. -[[User:Λίνουξ|Λίνουξ]] ([[User talk:Λίνουξ|talk]]) 17:25, 19 July 2014 (UTC) |

:: They do list the ages of the characters in their character profiles for the chapter headings, but the specific number is not significant other than Wendy who becomes the youngest of the guild members. It could be replaced with "teenage". She is the youngest among Natsu, Grey, and Erza although not by much, just a year or two. Would have to see if the Kodansha back covers summarize her by age. -[[User:AngusWOOF|AngusWOOF]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF|talk]]) 00:16, 21 July 2014 (UTC) |

== Fairy Tail Online == |
|||
I stumbled upon [http://ft.o4games.com/], which appears to be a browser game. Can't really find much about it, but we don't mention it. Is it licensed? Should we mention it? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</font>]]</sub> 13:52, 19 February 2015 (UTC) |

== Too detailed of plot section == |
|||
I think the recent additions to the plot section have gone beyond what Wikipedia judges as a well written plot section. |
|||
″The objective of a summary is to condense a large amount of information into a short, accessible format. It is not to reproduce the experience of reading or watching the story, nor to cover every detail. For those who have not read or seen the story, it should serve as a general overview of the major points. For those who have, it should be detailed enough to refresh their memory — no more.' |
|||
As such I've added the plot cleanup template to the page. Thoughts? |

Setting in Plot?
[edit]I'm thinking about adding a setting section in the plot section, using One Piece (a GA) as a model. We could add settings like Earth-land and of course, the locales and races (i.e. Exceeds, wizards) and note the anachronisms. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 00:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
- I remember there was a section that did exactly that. It was filled with locales and information that were only mentioned once, never visited, and were overall irrelevant to the story. The information that wasn't removed was instead woven into the plot summary where relevant, as it currently is, with only the essential information needed to understand these concepts (e.g., Exceed being cat-like), and links that contain further reading. Things that may be viewed as essential for a One Piece article do not always reflect what is essential for an article of another series. User:SubZeroSilver (talk) 02:20, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
- As you may recall, I was the one who added it in long ago before it was merged. Since the setting was merged not too long ago, should we rewrite the summary using the Dragon Ball article, which is also a GA, as another reference? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 02:32, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
