Talk:Kyo Kara Maoh!

message: Can someone pretty-please break the synopsis into 3 parts according to season instead of just putting the synopsis for season 1?
:Is it a good logical breaking point? If I remember right, it's the cut between Great Cimarron war arc and the Boxes arc, but I'm not so sure. Lemme re-watch the last Episode of S1 and the first of S2 so I can refresh on where the break is, then I'll be happy to, providing it's a good logical stop point.

thread_title:  Synopsis 

message: Actually, upon reviewing that section, I see what you mean, anon. It can't be further expanded until it gets organized since the section contain a jumble of info ranging from plot summary to setting to musings, etc. I have laid out a draft for a new design at User:Mfrisk/KKMsynopsis creating three sections to replace the existing single Synopsis: Setting, for info about time, place, backgroung, counties, etc; Synopsis, for a plot summary organized into three subheadings - one for each season; and Themes, to discuss the ideas of justice and right/wrong, unity, etc.
The major idea was to offset all the great info in the section into organized sections of its own, where it can be expanded effectively, leaving only the few strands of plot summary, where we can decide to expand or eliminate it, as the community deems.
Please stop by and expand, discuss, comment, criticize or otherwise see what you think!

thread_title: Proposal of a New Format for Synopsis Section

message: What is the presice translation of Kyou Kara Maou? I know that Maou is "Mazoku King." Mazoku is a very specific breed of demon. They usually look like elves covered in tattoos; Keika from Ja-Dou, Xelgaddas from Slayers, & ALL the Youkai from Saiyuki. But sometimes they take on other form, such as man-eating plants, etc. 
Come to think of it, Kyo Kara Maoh is one of the few manga or anime with Mazoku I've ever seen that didn't use the tattooed elf look. Like the way Ningyo were once fish with only the heads of man & are now man-eating mermaids with webbed finders, neck gills, & finned ears, when you see a tattooed elf you just know it's Mazoku. I think Youkai is just another name for Mazoku.
The kanji "今日", "Kyou", specifically means the time indicator "today". "から", "kara", is a prepositional "from". "Kyou Kara Maou" translates literally as "Maou From Today [onward]", which is read better in English as "Maou from Now On".
And due to Yokai, Akuma, Mazoku, etc all being fictional beings, there are numerous takes on how they may appear. Though I do believe one of the running gags in KKM is that the Mazoku are not what Yuuri (or Jennifer, for that matter) initially expect(s).
I guess a way to think of it is, when you hear "elf", do you think of Tolkien or Keebler. XD

thread_title: Litteral Translation?

message: This anime is still going on in Japan, right? Can I request season 3 spoilers via email from anyone here?
Me too! Spoilers get me going *_*
erm, I'm just wondering, why is it that the anime page is only separated into the 3 seasons? Can someone at least put down how many episodes there is for each season? or even the episode names for each of them like I've seen with other series pages? Thx~  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.7.183.131 (talk) 14:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I've seen the series classed as Shounen-ai elsewhere, and it can be seen why, with the engagement and the frequent homosexual references and undertones, so shouldn't that be one of the genres added? Also, what exactly classes it as a Shoujo anime? If anything I'd say it is quite the opposite.
Agree, it's actually shounen-ai but in the same time I think it's also shoujo. I don't know what others think but in my opinion, Kyou Kara Maou is more prefered by girls than boys as most of the characters in the series happend to be cute guys... I don't think most boys like to watch that kind of anime. Well, maybe that's why it's classed as Shoujo..
:Most shounen-ai series are classified as shoujo anyway, since the majority of shounen-ai fans are girls. Because of Kyou Kara Maou's shounen-ai subtext, I'd say it l
& that's exactly why Gensoumaden Saiyuki is misclassified as Shounen. Shounenai is a dead term though. It's a BL series; everything in Asuka DL CX has BL in it.eans towards being a shoujo anime. 
Shounen-ai is a dead term refurring to flowery, angsty, & often tragic boy-boy series of the late 60s to the early 90s. The series is a BL Fantasy Comedy, not unlike Loveless. It's not standard shoujo because the series focuses far too much on gay jokes (moreso than Jay & Silent Bob) & has as heavy an appeal for mix-&-match pairings as Saiyuki (i.e. it's a yaoi doujinshi magnet).
The illustrator, Temari Matsumoto (松本テマリ) however, is known for her BL illustrations in manga & "Gensou Suikoden 2" hardcore yaoi doujinshis, assisted by Sukesaburou Barugo & Ouji Henshoku. [JPQueen][Amazon.co.jp] So the look & feel of boy X boy love is at least intentional on HER part.
Also, the author Tomo Takabayashi has admitted in an interview with Anime New Network that she had previously done some works featuring BL (boys love)and the only reason she stopped was because she was more focused on the comedy aspect rather than the romance. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2006-03-02/5
So, wait, is this like a yaoi version of MariMite?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.65.85.234 (talk) 19:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Changed the line which stated "[Wolfram] is a half-brother of Conrad and brother of Gwendal". It is clear from their surnames that they each had a different father. (We all know how Cecilie really gets around!) --Lareine 17:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I deleted some of the aliases allotted to some of the main cast ("Baseball Boy" for Yuuri, "Enticing Eyes" for Conrad, "Mr. Beautiful Hair" for Gunter, and "Blondie" for Wolfram). All the aliases mentioned are from an Animax commercial used to describe the characters as a means of promoting the series in Asia, and are in no way mentioned throughout the series itself. 58.69.95.162 14:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a problem with this I hope someone can fix. When you click the Edit tab next to Conrad's profile, it goes to the edit page for Wolfram's profile. It you click the tab next to Wolfram's profile, it goes to Gwendal's edit page. And so on. The edit page for Conrad's profile is missing. Can anyone fix this? Sumhtun 04:57, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have current info on the license status of this title? Article says Geneon owns the title, but as we know, Dentsu ceased to operate Geneon last October. As far as I know, two more volumes were scheduled to be released since then and have not been, leading me to believe either no one (or Dentsu) owns the rights so it's in limbo or it has been sold to someone who has either decided not to continue prodction at the moment, or is in the process of starting production back up. This info is not readily available from a Google search, so I think it is that much more important to get into the WP article. Any thoughts? Mfrisk (talk) 11:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
