Anime plotline'''

A man (later named as Hakouro is found by Eruruu and her family, having no memory he begins to see Eruruu, Aruruu (Eruruu's sister), and Tusukuru (the grandmother), as his family. He is introduced to state of the country that he and the people of the neighboring village are in, as a greedy Emperor is over taxing the villagers. Soon Hakouro is able to recognition in the village by killing Mutipaka as white tiger with metallic fur, Mutipaka had been attacking the other villages, and Hakouro has found the weakness of the animal: water. Later Tusukuru gives the man the name Hakouro, the name of her son (thus the name of Eruruu's and Aruruu's father). ''

thread_title: Storyline article

message: What I know so far: Karura and her brother are the last of the Giriyagina, a tribe with a great deal of (natural?) strength and arrogance.  Their strength causes them to lack empathy.  Evinkuruga (what's the katakana for it?): Touka and Genjimaru (and Sakuya and Hien?).  Sense of duty, ears that seem like folded bird wings, very protective of the person they swear loyalty to. Urutori and Kamyu: no idea.  Aruruu, Eruruu, Tusukuru, Nuwangi, that guy with the axe (why isn't he in the article?)... are they all one tribe?  Yuzuha and Oboro don't have the same ears, though they're siblings...
Am I getting all of it correct? --Raijinili 03:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it would be nice to define the races/tribes and even empires found in the anime/game... And there is Kuuya's race, I don't know the name of it. --Rev-san 15:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: At a guess, the tribes breed true rather than mix (at least for Yuzuha/Oboro and Sakura and Hien.)  Still, without more evidence we can't really say for sure.  Guess it isn't important enough to mention.  Jachra 06:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The tribes/races of Utawarerumono 

message: Quote from one of the fansubbers on a forum:
"I guess we should've put in an explanation on the website or something. Basically, Utawarerumono has heavy Ainu influences. The people in Tusukur's village all dress in Ainu-ish garb. Their village is situated on the northeastern part of the continent, whereas the Ainu are currently situated on the northeastern part of Japan. The names used have an Ainu flair to them, including エルルゥ アルルゥ and トゥスクル. The Japanese word for the sung vocal traditions of the legends of the Ainu people are called うたわれるもの though that is not the only interpretation of the title. Thus, considering all these Ainu influences, it seems appropriate to use their romanization system to bring forth the exotic quality that comes with it. Hence, Aruruw and Eruruw are romanized according to the official Ainu romanization system. The Ainugo Jiten (Ainu dictionary) published by Sanseido was used to determine the proper way to romanize Ainu (and in this case, the Ainu-ish language used by the people in Utawarerumono). To be a bit more specific, Aruruw is essentially 3 syllables in Ainugo: A ru ruw. The 'ruw' is the r consonant sound, followed by the u vowel sound and then ending with a consonant sound of w. Oh, and fun trivia fact, Tusukur means "sorcerer"/"magician" in Ainugo."

text: Basically this is for discussing whether or not the names should be romanised in Ainu style or modified Hepburn. However, I think we should stick with Hepburn until ADV releases Utawarerumono in English and says so otherwise. No matter how it's written, the pronounciation is the same, but peronally, I find the Ainu romanisation very confusing looking. Roxybudgy 06:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I would say using the proper Ainu romanization makes more sense. (I might also add that when you hear the characters' names in the anime using that style of romanization sounds closer to how they say it.) I am also for general use rather than strictly abiding to rules. (I might add I also dont like the style of Hepburn that Wikipedia uses for anime related article and should stick to the generally used romanization.) 68.41.170.184 05:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Romanization of names 2 

message: I have cleaned up the Characters section. Please reconsider carefully before reverting it back to the old style. 1.) Corrected some grammer. 2.) Removed repeated information already accessable in Backstory section. 3.) Removed screenshot of Karuru as only one screenshot is permitted in an article.C Ronald 14:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean up 

message: I am still not 100% sure as to the correct spelling of Touka's tribe in Utawarerumono.  I have seen 'Evenkuruga' and 'Evinkuruga'.  I believe that the latter is the correct romanization, and spelled it thus during the overhaul I did of the Touka article.  Can someone confirm the correct romanization for me?

thread_title:  Touka's Tribe 

message: Why do Touka and Orikakan have their own articles?  The former reads like a fan wrote it, especially the "Personality" part (sounds like an odd use of 'Tsundere' either way), while the latter itself states that Orikakan is a minor character.  On further examination, the creator of both articles was also blocked from Wikipedia.  Mekryd 16:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seperate Character Articles? 

message: アルルゥとあそぼ!! Means Let's Play With Aruruu and not Aruruu and Asobo. (Yes I know Asobo should have long vowel, but I also know that Japanese like to play with words like this to be cute) So I just changed that.ParallelPain 08:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Japanese Link 

message: According to the game, it was the human population, not the surface world that changed. The article mentions "post-apocalyptic air" but this seems to be in error. It is stated directly in the game that it was the human's pursuit of "renewing" themselves that eventually resulted in their inability to exist outside of a sterile greenhouse environment; humans were now unable to fend off simple bacteria. Also other life forms (e.g. trees) were having no trouble living on the surface. Granted, I'm relying on Mirror Moon's English patch for this info, but I doubt that there is a discrepancy between the languages here. Anyone have a good reason to think the article is correct the way it is before I go ahead and change it?
