Talk:Strawberry Marshmallow

message: In the paragraph about the TV anime, a list of voice actors is mentioned with Japanese names, so I presume that these are the Japanese voices. Does that mean that the US DVD release is subbed? Otherwise, the English voice actors should be added too. 
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to add that the mentioned voice actors are the Japanese voices, especially since Japanese voice actors are often called seiyu instead. Fyrius 19:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, these are the voice actors for the Japanese version. I replaced "seiyu" with "voice actors" as not everybody might know what a seiyu is (state the obvious, right?), but you're right, it should mention that these are the voice actors for the Japanese original. --Fritz S.

replies: text: Sorry I didn't reply to this talk before changing the article (This talk was added to the top of the page for some reason) but I have changed it back to seiyu again. If you think it should be changed then there's plenty of space to change it to Japanese voice actors or Seiyu (Voice actors) or however you want to state it. I prefer using seiyu because (1) it is used in many anime articles, (2) it is not gender specific whereas actor and actress are and (3) Education through use, wikilinking the word seiyu is informing the reader what it means. --Squilibob 13:43, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph now says: "The plot in each story tends to follow two paths. Either it is completely nonexistent, with the action centering only on everyday events and conversation, or it revolves around some prank instigated by Miu and the other characters' participation in or attempts to thwart said prank." For the animated series, this is definitely not true; for as far as I know, there isn't a single episode mainly about Miu's pranks and reactions of the others to it. The animated episodes usually contain two or more plots from the manga, and it never occurs that both are about Miu's pranks. Often one of them is, but they mainly serve as a lesser part for comedy value, if you ask me. It does seem to be right for the manga, though. -Unsigned
:It's very POV in my opinion, but I'll just add "in the manga" to it for now - Squilibob 11:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For example, anime episode 7. The whole trip to the beach was started to get Miu to stop doing her jiyu kenkyuu. Or, episode 5 that was all about Miu being jealous of Ana and the solution to that problem. And there was another episode 4 where it was all about how Miu was ruining Nobue's part time job at a restaurant. --Zaorish 00:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Regarding the region 1 DVDs: Noticed today that some websites are listing two versions of the volume 3 DVD. One site, deepdiscounddvd.com called one LE with another "normal" one. Amazon.com also lists two different DVDs, one as WS (widescreen?) and this one. They both have the same release dates, and not much more info, but they do have different product IDs.
As far as I know, volumes 1 and 2 only have one version of the DVD. I'm guessing that this is either a mistake or simply the DVD bundled with some extra, as many anime DVDs are (such as a t-shirt or pin). But it might be worth keeping an eye on incase it's something significant. -- Ned Scott 19:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The info box at the upper right of the article says that 5 volumes were published, however, only 4 volumes are listed under Media. Does this have something to do with Ichigo Memento or Ichigo Prototype? I wouldn't necessarily know because I don't know when/how those were released, but I'm just trying to avoid confusion.

message: This may be valuable information worthy of adding to Ana's profile information, but I don't know how true it is. Comments on this blog entry suggest that the kanji characters Miu writes Ana's name with logically approximates the English insult word "bonehead". --65.167.146.130 13:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's entirely not true. Those three kanji, while can mean (as the article states) hole, bones, and cave individually, the middle kanji is translated wrong. Yes, that kanji does mean bone, but when it does, it's read as "hone", not "kotsu" which means a "skill" of some kind (Miu ended up figuring that a hard "tsu" wasn't so bad, when it in fact would make Ana's full name "Ana Kotsupora" instead of "Ana Koppora" which is what she was shooting for if it had been a soft "tsu" sound). So anyway, there's no way to get "head" out of hole, and cave, and that middle kanji isn't even meant to be read as "bone" in the first place, as I have explained. I'm changing it in the article now.--十八 14:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The middle kanji doesn't mean skill but bone. It's similar to reading as "kotsu". the kanji doesn't have the meaning as skill. (I'm sorry if my sentence is improper. I'm not good at English.) --219.108.50.119 10:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think they were implying that it literally meant "bonehead", but that it's a aproximation of how horrible her name sounds in Japanese. 71.225.97.173 (talk) 20:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Encore

message: I have removed the sentence at the end of the "themes" section that says "some have classified it as 'lolicon'." I think that may be misleading as the series is very rarely provocative/racy and certainly does not focus on sexuality. It's like calling Rugrats toddlercon. We shouldn't get in the habit of labeling every anime with a focus on young girls as "lolicon" when that term should be reserved for media with strong sexual overtones throughout as well as a focus on young girls. Not only that, but the reference the author provided never actually classified the anime as "lolicon", as the author implied.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.248.239 (talk) 21:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
