Talk:S-CRY-ed

message: Guys, episode 8 is not (and I repeat NOT) entitled "Mad Script". The second word is intentionally misspelled, and the kana in the episode title are altered to emphasize this (マッド・スプリクト). And in case I haven't ragged on everybody enough, it's "Mad Sprict". Period. Thanks. The Trashman 05:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mad Sprict 

message: 67.167.251.190's edits are been pretty erratic, strangely positioned, and started to wander from "character info" to "episode guide."
Some of the info is good, though. Revert and retro-fit the good bits, or just try to incorporate them somewhere?
The article definitely needs to be cleaned up and fitted with info such as Japanese voice credits and whatnot. I'd also like to know what Sunrise itself considers the official Romanized spellings of Scheris and Martin's names. Ah, for the good ol' days when this show was only on DVD and there were no freakin' dubbies to worry about. Damn you, Cartoon Network!... ah well, at least it's not as tough a situation as Evangelion has... The Trashman 07:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean-up? 

message: OK, so is Elian the clone of Zigmar, or is he the clone of the son of Zigmar?  If so, what happened to Zigmar's original son?
: Elian is the clone of Zigmar. Also, in reference to Straight Cougar and Kazuma, I believe that in both the anime and the manga, the two are nothing more than mentor/student. Although in Fist, Cougar and Kazuma address each other as brothers, I think it more in terms of endearment. Earlier in the series, during a fight between Cougar and Kazuma, Cougar claims that the two were "nothing more than two strangers that crossed paths" (Not literally quoted). -Sketch-The-Fox 00:30, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Elian? 

message: There seems to be a minor edit war over Cougar's fate at the end of the series. On the one hand, I don't think we should include details pertaining to this episode only, since they aren't included in the other character's descriptions. On the other hand, it's ambiguous what happens (or it was to me- I never even considered the possibility he had died until I read it here). I've edited it to somewhere in between for now; any ideas? --Ntg 04:51, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello. Has anyone noticed how fat Kazuma's information looks compared to all the other characters? I'm thinking that he should get his own page. Any and all feedback on the issue would be greatly appreciated. Ace Class Shadow 08:07, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kazuma 

message: May I suggest that a separate page for each character's alter.  I thought I should get some opinions on it before I (or anyone else) starts the idea.  This will also help in the character balance problem (see above) at the Scryed main page.
:I can understand the appeal of this idea, But very few of the alter powers  would be good candidates for this. Plus, I find alter powers to be too closely connected with their users. In the end, These Abilities are little more than fighting techniques.

thread_title:  Alters 

message: It's a common misconception that Kazuma has a surname in the manga (Torizuna). In fact he doesn't as Kazuma is called "トリズナのカズマ" (Torizuna no Kazuma) in the japanese version of the manga, which translates as "Kazuma, The Treasoner". Tokyopop mistranslated this as Kazuma "The Treasoner" Torizuna, giving him a surname that didn't really exist in the first place.

replies: text: Yeah. In fact they were taken from Bandai official english site, but it seems down now. Anyway, since it's down, I think it's really important to have their known ages on the article so that info don't get lost. Kazu-kun 19:14, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Currently, it's unsourced information, the English site isn't even linked from the article.  (If it was, the information could be conformed using the Internet Archive.) Edward321 15:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kazuma's age 

message: As the wiki article states: "although they often refer to each other as brothers, there is no concrete information to show that they are actually related"
Also in episode 26, while Kazuma and Ryuhou are fighting, Cougar himself says that Kazuma is LIKE his brother. This could be taken as proof that they are not related.

thread_title:  Are Kazuma and Cougar brothers? 

message: was it the manga or the anime?
i'm guessing the manga came first but for some reason i'm not sure. the only articles i can find on scryed are about the anime with very little information about the manga.
The manga is the adaptation based off the original anime series.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.93.81 (talk) 01:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which came first? 

message: The opening has three versions, not two, which correspond to the three verses of the song. The third episode has it. IIRC it was a mix of Kazuma and Ryuhou, or maybe HOLD or something. --Kajitani-Eizan 05:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Opening 

message: In the later episodes, in fight scenes between Kazuma and Ryuhou (once their alters have reached their full potential) they'll briefly jump to a view of the fight from far away and all you see are two steaks of light swirling and clashing in midair. Is this a reference to some earlier anime series? This same effect is used in Episode 6 of FLCL, which predates s-CRY-ed by about year. -SeaFox 01:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Arial Fight Seqences Referencing other Anime?

message: This was the official english scryed site, which is down now. It was launched on 06/02/2003, and was announced on the Bandai site.
Sadly it was flash based, so the cached copy on Internet Archive doesn't work. 
Several information was obtained from this site when it was still working, including main characters' ages. The site was official, thus there's no question the information is official too, and would be a waste to cut it off just because the site doesn't work anymore. 
Right now this article is the only place where people can find this information, so I think it's imperative for it to remain here. Kazu-kun 21:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice several words in ALL CAPS. Either these are acronyms, in which case they should be explained, or they aren't, in which case they should be set in Title Case. Thanks, Shinobu 20:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly, according to the consensus here, this article should be moved to S-cry-ed.  I'll go ahead and do that after a couple days if no one objects this reasoning... - Onmyounomichi (talk) 23:57, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should just be moved to "Scryed" if anything. I'm pretty sure the capitalization is just there for stylistic effect or the way the kanji is pronounced (suKURAIdo). Also no one refers to it as "S-cry-ed", it's either just "Scryed" or the official "s-CRY-ed". - The Norse (talk) 00:20, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

message: In the definition of s-CRY-ed under the section S-CRY-ed#Common Terms it says, "Finally, Akira uses it twice." This is a joke, right? It's been a while since I saw this series, so I wanted to make sure. --Eruhildo (talk) 22:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's referring to a different Akira (Mijō), from the manga.  She uses it twice, while fighting Mary Jane; once on herself (volume 5, page 21) and once on Hannish (page 37). —TangentCube, Dialogues 22:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, ok. I've never read the manga and I didn't see a character by that name in the article, so I thought it was talking about Akira. Is there a way to make that a little clearer? --Eruhildo (talk) 23:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
