Talk:Oh My Goddess!/Archive 4

message: I've added a bit more information on the voice cast based on what I've found on the Japanese Wikipedia. There it noted different seiyuu for the TV series on The Almighty and on Chrono, Ere, and Ex, so I put them down in the table.
There seems to be a little confusion on the TV seiyuu for Ere and Ex, though. Japanese Wikipedia has Chiemi Chiba voicing Ere and Yoko Honna voicing Ex. I had found before on Ryu's Seiyuu Infos that it showed the other way around, and my searching of Japanese sites with Google doesn't seem to show any consistency either. One seiyuu database I check, Les voix des Anges, has both Ex and Ere listed on both Yoko Honna and Chiemi Chiba profiles. I haven't watched the TV series in any form yet, but I guess this comes from some kind of mishap with the TV credits. Anyone have the series and have a good ear for Honna's or Chiba's voices, and can tell which is which? I decided to enter in the way it was on the Japanese version of Wikipedia, as I guess having it in one way was better than listing the Movie seiyuu for them. The possible spread of inaccurate information bothers me, so I hope it can be clarified, though.
Lastly, it listed a seiyuu for Hild, "Gara Takashima (Game)". I found that the game is Quiz: Ah! My Goddess from checking the Seiyuu Database, so I added the appropriate information for Hild's and Gara Takashima's entries. Should she be listed on the main table, too, even though she hasn't voiced her in any anime adaptations? EmperorBrandon 06:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't see any reason why Ah! should be a disam. page instead of a simple redirect considering how everything that the Ah! page links to is linked in this page as well. I went ahead and changed it but I felt it needed mentioning her as it seems that it has been a redirect page in the past.--SeizureDog 05:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ah! My Goddess should redirect

message: A New PS2 video game came out last week for AMG, and I'd add the info myself if not for two things. 1) I know very little about the game, as I can't read the website (http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/ps2/megami/), and 2) This isn't the first game to come out for the series, so in light of that fact and the Soundtracks section (and the mention of a novel right below this topic), would it be possible to create a section entitled "Other Media" to list all the non-manga/anime AMG...things?

thread_title: Video Games/Other Media Section?

message: I think the official competition (translation) has concluded. The competition was basicaly an online poll of fans favorite characters. Belldandy for instance was voted #1, no suprise there. 
In any case this info can be incorporated into character articles. I just am not certain how to do it. We could use the infobox or add it in as trivia. What do you guys think?

thread_title:  This is hot, "character popularity poll" has concluded 

message: I just watched Season 1, File 40 ("Dangerous Date") of Fujishima's You're Under Arrest (Taiho Shichauzou). In this episode, the bagpipe tune that plays in the background of the amusement park, sounds uncannily similar to the opening theme (also with bagpipes) of the second TV series Ah! My Goddess: Everyone Has Wings (Aa! Megami-sama: Sorezore no Tsubasa).
Can anyone confirm this? Add to trivia?

message: At the risk of starting some giant war over what is almost just a nitpick, shouldn't Oh! My Goddess redirect into Ah! My Goddess instead of the other way around? I say this because in the Ah! or Oh! section, Fujishima says that it should probably stay as Ah! for consistency. Further, the only media to use the Oh! My Goddess name is the Dark Horse Manga and the OVA. Both of which were named, what, ten years ago? Also, all the more recent media has used Ah!, both the movie and the TV series. It may not be a big deal, but looking through the archives I noticed that it was never discussed.Xenon Zaleo 10:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "ah" is the reading of the Japanese Hiragana symbol while "Oh!" is the usual English 'translation' of the utterance.  In a way, they are *both* correct useage.  Fujishima, when he later learned of the English phrase "Oh my God!" said that was the sense he had intended (as in "Oh My Goddess!!!") but by this time most of the English translations were using "Ah" which is simply the writing of the sound of the hiragana symbol in our alphabet.  In other words, what you are seeing here is the difficulty of translating from one language to another.  And its one of those things like a dog chasing its own tail where we can debate for the rest of time which is the most "correct."  I think it is never discussed, as you say, for this very reason.  There is no "correct" answer, except to say that "Ah" is the closest we can get to the original Japanese sounding (albeight not the closest morphological English meaning) and I guess that's the convention that everyone has decided to use in order to keep people's head exploding pondering it. :-) Yanqui9 20:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I understand the history and why it's the way it is, but that still doesn't answer my original question. Oh! is certainly closer to the original meaning.....but it's also used only in the Manga, and this is likely because Dark Horse has had the license for so long. So I come back to my original question. Due to Fujishima saying that things should be Ah! for consistency and given that every license since the OVA has been Ah!, should this article still be Oh! instead of ah (currently, Ah! My Goddess redirects here, I'm proposing that instead, Oh! My Goddess would redirect to Ah! My Goddess with all the current information).Xenon Zaleo 05:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ah! or Oh!, again

message: Just wondering if Ah! My Goddess should be added under harem anime. I believe it should, since it generally fits the criteria. ie. Male surrounded by many females all interested in him romantically at one point or another.
:I would agree, although it's not the an arch-type of harem it certainly has all of the common ingredients. I'll add it to the harem page.  MkDoyle 11:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Could be classified as "harem anime"?

message: ::Few examples not the full list.
*Almighty and Hild are like Tsunade (Naruto)
*Celestin, Morgan le Fay, Sayoko Mishima, Toshiyuki Aoshima, Marler, and Hild, Lord of Terror are like Orochimaru (Naruto)
*Peorth, Chihiro Fujimi, Toraichi Tamiya, Otaki Aoyama, Sora Hasegawa are like Kakashi Hatake
*Minor deities can be merged in a manner like List of Konoha ninja
*Minor non-deities (humans) can be merged in a manner like List of Konoha ninja
Thats my basic roadmap
