Talk:Texhnolyze

message: <Instr> I think you are being too certain in your interpretation of Texhnolyze. Though, what you are saying is very interesting and is beyond my ability to refute, can I add some things I think you missed?
Many of the characters in Texhnolyze are incomplete, in some way, that embodies their purity of character; they are only one thing, and that is it. Ichise is the embodiment of a will to survive, of a will to action. He, however, without wisdom or sophistication. Like someone said on the Amazon review (yes, that retarded 0/6 is mine), he is an animal, perhaps the human animal in its basic form. Ran would be his opposite.
Ran is possessed by overwhelming vision and knowledge. If you take a look at her visions, she does not see merely a potential future, she sees fate itself. So she is rather passive. Quite frequently, she hides behind her mask (I believe the mask is either Noh or Kabuki in origin, meaning that she is only acting as part of a role, as though the situation were already predetermined).
If you sympathize with Yoshii, you would argue that Onishii has no vision, that Onishii is only a preserver. If there was no Kanno or Yoshii, Onishii would simply extend his reign to the extinction of humanity based on its simple loss of fertility.
Also, btw, Rakan might have been better translated as Lacan, simply for the value of the allusion? Instr 18:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Needs major revision in the summary as many pertinent facts from the show are missing, misplaced, or in error.  Should remove interpretation in favor of hard evidence.  A Start-class article at best.

About Kano, he clearly is able to manipulate texnolyzed people, even to the point of speaking to them "telepathically" and disabling them, which supports the idea.  I'm not up to reviewing the DVD, but I'm pretty sure he said his mind was texnolyzed and I'm sure someone could find a direct quote, which could be included in the article.  I was under the impression that when Kano was talking to Ran, she was in the obelisk, away from him (after all, she was kileld in there)--it was only after she was killed in the obelisk that he got her body, from what I can infer.

text: Image:Texhnolyze cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: ==

message: It says that the Organo and the other groups vying for power in Lukuss (Lux) are "the Class". In fact, that is completely untrue. The Class are those ones who live above ground (The Hill?). They may be higher up on the food chain in Lukuss, but they're not a part of the Class. Doc, on the other hand, is a part of the Class. The same goes for Yoshii.
spoilers:
From the Geneon translation:
-The Class is below ground. According to Kano, they got themselves exiled in order to evolve or perpetuate a race dying of ennui.
-Kano and the Doc are Class. Yoshii is an overworlder.Instr 11:52, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Class 

message: First of all, how indepth should this part be, and more importantly should it avoid spoilers or should it be a complete analysis targeted to those that already saw the whole series?
MAJOR SPOILERS :
Texhnolyze is more about evolution of the human species... The world above is not consumed by technology as it is said in the article, but is just dying because all the people got rid all of their "animal side" and lost their passions and are just waiting to die. In the other hand on Lukuss the people are pretty violent (they have their "inner beasts") and are going towards their self destruction as well. (I think the intro of episode 21 is pretty clear on this). So the only thing that could be done to save humanity is to change/evolve. Ichise seems to understand that at the last episode (all the talk about change with ran) but it's already too late.
I would go ahead and change the article without asking here, but since I would pretty much rewrite all of the analysis part instead of refining it, I would like to discuss it first before making any changes. AcidArrow 14:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Analysis 

message: I agree that although the interpretation of Texhnolyze in the article is good, it is wrong however on it's opinions on the Surface World.  Saginuma (the disembodied voice and later the man who tries to convince Ichise to stay) explains that those who remain in the Surface World are the Theonormal (which according to TV.com's page on Texhnolyze (Episodes, summary for episode "Rogue 20: Hades") means people with orthotics, although this is never explicitly stated by any of the characters in the anime), and that they were trying to evolve to the next level of humanity (if I remember correctly).  Although there seems to be at least some technological advancements (the scanner in the train station, the work stations in the Government Office building), there are also many what you could call anachronisms in the Surface World.  Things such as the old radios, cars, cinema etc. appear frequently, this would mean that the Surface World is not so far ahead in technology (in fact, maybe even behind in most cases) than what the interpretation in the article says.  The interpretation gives me the feeling that the Surface World is filled with technology and machines, which is something more akin to maybe Ghost in the Shell, or Metropolis.
I believe an article change should be in order, but with a spoiler warning attached.  I was also thinking that maybe an episode summary may be in order, but it could be a tad excessive. --Ryushi 21:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ran Description 

message: The anime has two soundtracks as well as a track by Gackt which although isn't as important as the anime itself, does contribute a lot to the atmosphere of the show (as any good soundtrack should).

message: Your interpretation is inappropriate here. Your analysis is original research. If you want to offer opinions, they must adhere to the section ,Characterizing Opinions of People's Work, in the policy article, Neutral Point of View. It states that an opinion (or anaylsis) of a person's work may be stated if it is a widely held opinion (e.g. Shakespeare was one of the most influential writers in the English language) or if it is an opinion offered by an expert in a given field (e.g. an Impressionism expert giving an analysis of a Monet painting). Otherwise, I'm afraid, Wikipedia writers may only offer facts and let them stand on their own. It may seem drab, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not one a host of other portals available elsewhere on the net.

message: Sorry, no time to edit. Ran across this article, it felt incomplete, couldn't put my finger on it, decided to check out the talk page.
...What is going on with this talk page? I am so confused.

It looks like the Talk section needs some sorting out, and the article also needs a bit of work  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.254.173 (talk) 19:48, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
