Talk:Children's anime and manga

message: So why does an article on the Japanese word for child not even state that Kodomo is indeed the japanese word for child?  This should be fixed or the article name should be changed.  24.215.67.146 14:44, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hello.  I started this article some time ago.  If you look back, you will notice that the original text of the article was a simple definition of the word "Kodomo" (e.g. "child".  While this beginning text has evolved into something quite different, you can see that it started off as a simple and accurate definition.  Frankly, I don't care whether this article survives or not, but please note that I never intended the article to evolve into a particular description of anime.  I don't know when someone removed my original text of the definition, but I'm sure you can look back and find it if you want.  --Xaliqen (talk) 22:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Regardless of where it supposedly belongs, I believe the original definition is far more appropriate (and accurate) than a description of manga for children.  In any event, I'm not quite sure what you're driving at, since the article is in quite a different state at present than when I started it awhile back.  If your purpose is merely to inform based on your current understanding, then please consider me informed of your opinion.  --Xaliqen (talk) 07:45, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello, I'm a annoynamous editer on wikipedia, but I will join up to help edit better.  I recently was looking at [Manga] and [Anime] talk pages, and I saw how much there sub-topic articles needed work, and I figured that I could help write the Kodomo article, since no one was even talking about it.  I clicked the link to the kodomo page, and saw that the article leaves much to be desired.  So, if you wikians don't mind, I'll set up a account, and write a draft for the page soon (november-ish).  Here's my first citation link.  http://www.comicreaders.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=96
Anyone want to collab with me, I'll put my account name up soon.  Pleasure to be writing with you!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.110.133.216 (talk) 01:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This Article needs some help. 

message: Indeed, it may better to scrap the article altogether. There are several problems that seem difficult to overcome:
* As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "Kodomo manga magazine". Magazines serializing manga suitable for younger children still get classified as shōnen and shōjo. So by the logic we use to set the "demographic" tags, there may not be any "kodomo manga" at all.
* The phrase "kodomo anime" is not uncommon in Japanese (ABC TV's used to run a slot during school breaks called Kodomo anime taikai for example), but it may refer to either the type of anime this article describes, or anime suitable for children in general (not just younger children), and it's not always clear which. The longest essay I could find on the subject is the Japanese version of this article (which is marked for V and OR).
* I don't remember seeing the term ever occurring in English literature regarding manga and anime. I'm not an avid reader of it either, but I was quite surprised when stumbling on this page (especially considering its previous name).
I'll try to have a closer look at a few English books on anime on Monday just in case, but I'd say the article as it stands can go. Bikasuishin (talk) 21:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you ask me, Kodomo probably is just the Japanese way of saying "Children's television series". I fail to see how this could be considered a genre, let alone a category. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. There is no such genre. This article offers nothing of value, and is confused and confusing. Matt Thorn (talk) 15:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

*Oppose as there is clearly anime and manga aimed at very young kids (Anpanman, for example). ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Then why didn't move Shōjo to Shōjo anime and manga? Sidenote: this article desperately needs to be sourced. T_T --Eruhildo (talk) 04:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this needs to be sourced. And I've changed my mind. In order to be consistent, this should be moved to Kodomo manga. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:44, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

message: (Excuse my english) I think a good start for the revised version of the article could be from http://www.jappleng.com/articles/view/manga/1/kodomo_genre
I think there is a difference between kodomo and kodomo ai?  I'm no expert on the subject but I think that ai kodomo or kodomo ai refers to anime/manga like kodomo no jukan while kodomo by itself is for children.

message: Can you discuss your rationale to WP:BOLD rename the article from Children's anime and manga to Kodomo anime and manga as seen in this edit? The demographic in itself already has an English equivalent which we can use. lullabying (talk) 20:38, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you show that "kodomo" is widely used as a demographic description by reliable English-language sources? "Children's manga" is the term that ANN and Crunchyroll use in their reporting. —Farix (t | c) 19:33, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
