message: Shouldn't the awards be in chronological order? That's why I had the French award first, since it was in 2007, and the Shogakukan award second (in 2009). ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:33, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh. Interesting point. I've organizing Reception sections this way: responses to original format, responses to translations of that format, responses to the chronologically first adaptation, translations of that, then the next adapation, and so on. This is more or less a mirror of how we organize a series article: source work first, then adaptations. It could be argued that domestic and foreign responses to a format should be on equal parity, and chronological within that grouping. Hmm. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:40, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Coming back to this, I think either order can be justified. If you prefer the original order, we can change it back. —Quasirandom (talk) 03:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just seen most awards listed chronologically, but there really aren't enough awards for it to make a lot of difference. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: English manga review

message: So going by Viz's anime site and preview of manga v1, it looks like they're ignoring long vowels -- so Ko instead of Kō, Ichiyo instead of Ichiyō, and so on. Time to go through all four articles and make some adjustments ... —Quasirandom (talk) 22:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and also Koshien instead of Kōshien. (I note the article on the stadium itself is inconsistent, with o in article name and ō in lead, making a bit of a mess.) I'll make that replacement my next pass through. —Quasirandom (talk) 04:20, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Yeah, Viz is retarded/lazy that way. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 07:07, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  *wry smile* I haven't seen Seishu(u) yet (maybe tonight), so I'm holding off updating that, and the other schools. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Hmm...I think it's fine leaving it the way it is. People will understand it either way. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 05:56, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ah, here we go -- page 9 of chapter 1, Ichiyo is "first year of high school" -- so either they're being inconsistent between manga/anime, which is unusual for Viz, or they're continuously numbering elementary/junior high grades and starting over with high school. FWIW, there has been hardly any mention of high school grades in the anime episodes so far. —Quasirandom (talk) 04:07, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Following up on this, based on further episodes, it's the latter: junior high is seventh/eighth/ninth grade, while high school is first/second/third year. How ... odd. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:41, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

text: We should just force everyone to switch to metric. It's easier to use anyway, and certainly makes a lot more sense than 12 inches = 1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yard, 5280 feet = 1 mile. I think that system as thought up by some drunks one night in a bar somewhere in England. The metric system is much easier. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 07:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, but ... —Quasirandom (talk) 23:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, once we rule the world, we can put it into place. I guess we'll just have to tolerate the idiots until then. ;p ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 23:17, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

text: i feel lucky to live in France where the metric system is used but still the French adaptation is far from perfect. --KrebMarkt 09:12, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Not sure why Viz is doing that as a "district" is a part of a prefecture  (a "-gun" 郡, usually) and the tournaments are very clearly prefecture-wide. Just more sloppiness from Viz, looks like. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 23:37, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's part of the reason I'm holding off using it till they consistently translate it that way. (They also seem to be translating the games that Aoba can't play in as "official" games, which is literal; I'm going to continue, for the moment, rendering that as "tournament" games as more descriptive -- it's the prefectural tournaments and Koshien games that girls are banned from, in boys' baseball, with all other matches being unofficial practice games; "tournament" makes this clear to those who don't know this.) —Quasirandom (talk) 00:12, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect they'll continue to be sloppy. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 14:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

text:  Okay, I think I may know what's going on here -- most places, it's a prefectural tournament, but Tokyo Prefecture has two tournaments, for south and north Tokyo, with Seishu in the latter. It looks like it's this sub-prefecture unit, which is non-governmental, that they're translating that as "district". Which is as reasonable a choice as any I can think of at the moment. (I need to double-check the banners on the stadium at the start of ep.16 to figure out the kanji used.) —Quasirandom (talk) 21:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  And the stadium banners say it's the North Tokyo 地区, which in my dictionary at least can be translated as district (as well as sector). So in conclusion, they weren't being sloppy but looking ahead to later information. I'm still going to use "prefectural," though, as outside of Tokyo is the qualifying tournaments are by prefecture. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:31, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I would translate 地区 as "regional", which is closer to what they use in the States and Canada. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 03:03, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

text: I think it's fine to leave it for now since the Japanese release uses it. Maybe add a footnote indicating it's not used in the Viz translation? Also, I went through (a few days ago) and updated the chapter titles based on the first Viz volume on the List of Cross Game chapters article. Since it covers the first three Japanese volumes, I put the same info into the appropriate sections for the ISBN and release date for the English release. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 22:47, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ah -- I haven't seen the JP v.2 table of contents. Good to hear. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:12, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
