message: re: "Also, they would often mispronounce his name as 'Ei-ji', causing Age to correct them by saying "It's A-G-E" (pronouced 'Ei-i-ji' or simply 'A-E-G')."
I think he corrects them because he doesnt want to be called -Sama, not because of how they pronounce his name. Refrence: Heroic Age Episode 2. ~0:18:29 --71.99.153.244 01:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I thought about that, but when I watched those parts over, I specifically hear that they pronounce his name differently than how he says it. Well, when a few episodes pass and he starts saying his name normally, we'll see. If it's still the same, then I was just hearing things, so I'll change the info.

replies: text: Ah. OK. I was just hearing things. DarkAngel007 07:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Age probably doesn't understand why people are tacking on "sama" at the end of his name. He can't even count. So japanese honorific titles are probably alien to him too.--ThePointman 07:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I was thinking the exact same thing, in episode 2 or 3 it sounded like they're calling him "Ecchi-sama" instead of "Eiji" or "A-G-E" or "A-GE"  209.226.9.2 (talk) 19:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Right now the article seems to imply that the Golden Tribe defeated the Heroic Tribe as punishment for their war. But the way I read it, seems more like that they basically fought each other endlessly until there was only 5 of them left, which led to the Golden Tribe reducing them to stones as much for their own protection as for any other reason.

message: > [...] a mecha based anime [...]
Heroic Age isn't Mecha. Mecha is anime about robots. Not any anime where such robots are present.
Mobile Suit Gundam, Getter Robo or Super Robot Wars are mechas. You can find there all fine details about the robots - and this is what mecha anime genre about and fandome is after.
On other side, for example Zegapain, Fafner of the Azure and Heroic Age (anime) are using mechas more like a contemporary element of sci-fi anime. After all battle machines need some shape. And modern fashion is giant human-like robots - or mechas. But this does not make the animes automatically mechas.
Even more so for Heroic Age: mechas are not even in center of action - heroic tribe is.
I would classify the anime as 'epic action'. Not Mecha.
:I say it's a mecha. Iolaus and the Ogan squad are main parts of the story. And on top of that, you hear hydraulic whirs and such during the Nodos battles. So yeah, the intended air of the battles is supposed to be mecha, if you ask me.DarthMonkey 00:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't honestly say whether or not Heroic Age is a mecha show, but your definition of one is... strange, to say the least, if mecha anime is discounted from being such just because it tries to tell a story. Imban 13:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mecha? 

message: Concerning the Heroic Tribe section: I don't think they need their own section since the sole surviving Heroic Tribesmen were made into Nodos. Besides, their info will most likely only be combat info, and placing it in the Nodos section already implies that all those in that section have Heroic Tribe forms. Plus, without being in the same section as their vessels, the amount of information would remain small, and it would mention who they belong to anyways. 
I wont remove the section until a consensus, or agreement, is reached though. Thoughts?

replies: text: I think we should have a seperate Heroic Tribe section. It seems that there will be histories for the different survivors, and I also think that the information for Belcross and the others don't belong in the profiles for the Nodos - at least, not as a main part of the Nodos section. The Heroic Tribe is its own tribe, the characters seem to have a history. It's not really my decision, and I'll probably not be really involved in this article anymore anyway, but I think they deserve their own section.DarthMonkey 17:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree that the section is superfluous. There is no Heroic Tribe around anymore, only the Nodos, which are already listed in their separate section. Belcross info should be merged with Age's profile to avoid confusion. It doesn't seem like there will be any characters from the heroic tribe coming up which are not Nodos. --Darkbane talk  17:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't believe we need a section specifically dedicated to the Heroic Tribe. Perhaps a reworking of the article, with some general background information put in plot summary, and the rest worked into each Nodos' individual character profile --Cronium 10:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heroic Tribe's own section 

message: I don't know why people knowing that Heroic Age draws elements from greek mythology and heracles' 12 labors, they can't find a decent romanization for character names even having the resources under their noses. It's been pointed that Karkinos is a crab that tried to help the Lernaean Hydra defeat Heracles in his second Labor, yet they left his Nodos name as Neruneia. Lekti's nodos Alemantas in the article vs the Erymanthian Boar from Mount Erymanthos from the 4th labor. Although I can't find anything official, Mehitaka's Artemia sounds better than the japanese sound of Arutemia. Yuti's Cerberus seems to be right.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.140.205.154 (talk) 15:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not figuring out the proper romanizations is pretty common - for example, I'm pretty sure the ship the subbers are calling Arutaia and this page calls Altoria is actually Althea but I have no idea what Iolaus's robot is supposed to be named. Imban 20:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Then again, Altoria seems to be one of Meleagros's middle names. I have no idea. Imban 20:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been looking at the katakanas for those mythological counterparts and the characters in the anime, although there are slight differences, I think the intention of the authors to use those greek names is still there. In the case of Arutoria as per the japanese pronunciation, they might be referencing Aetolia or Althaea, both are pronounced differently yet they are related to Deianeira and her brothers Kamui04 14:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think this series qualifies to genre/category space opera. Comments? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  04:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The intro in the space opera article precisely describes the Heroic Age anime. DarkAngel █▀▀007▄▄█ 04:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've carried out the change. Another fitting category: military science fiction? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  18:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't think it fits that category well enough. There's no doubt that it's scifi, and that there's a military presence in it, but the anime doesn't seem to emphasize military order that significantly. Instead, the conflicts and struggles within the structural orders are what's emphasized. Also, besides the main character not really being part of any specific order, and is instead treated as an outside source of power, the anime doesn't really portray any real conflicts and battles too clearly ; a speculative comparison can be made, but it would be original research. So....I don't think that cat is fitting, but that's really just my opinion. DarkAngel █▀▀007▄▄█ 02:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the series has giant space ship battles, and a lot of the plot is related to fleet actions. Granted, it's not the most military sci fi, but I do think it fits the genere relatively well, enough to be categorized as such. Would you object to adding this category here? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  20:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello! I've noticed that there was a change today on the names of the Silver Tribe (mainly) here. Is that right? I think the right name is Rome Ro instead of the current name in the page Rom Ror. --Kalel (talk) 11:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
