The cast for the live-action Marmalade Boy (#5053) is really Chinese, but there was no option for a Chinese cast....

Look, dude, if you were a newbie I'd explain it to you, but you've singed up way earlier than I do, plus you've got over 2,500 submissions, and now you complain not having a Chinese option? This issue has been talked to the death; please look for the corpse of the dead horse yourself, if you still want to beat it.

The limitations regarding Chinese cast, explained elsewhere, unfortunately apply in this case as well.
This will be dealt with in a future version of the encyc. For This title I'll add a comment stating that the listed "English Cast" is in fact the original Chinese cast. |

1) dormcat, relax. No need to get pissed off just because people repeat the same questions/mistakes over & over & over & over again. Even though you are often exposed to the same recurring issues, the same is not true for most other users and you can't expect them to know the same "obvious" stuff that you do.
2) why is this title even in the Encyclopedia? Is it really relevant? |

As "not anime but related", yes, since it is based on a manga. |

Ah, now it's a good chance to ask. There are several live-action titles based on light novel/manga/anime (or vice versa) waiting to be approved. What should I do? 1. Approve as long as related to any anime studio and/or staff. Many tokusatsu was approved this way. 2. Approve as long as related to light novel/anime/manga title(s), regardless of nationality. 3. Approve as long as related to light novel/anime/manga title(s) and made in Japan. 4. Approve only if the live-action is Japanese and a direct adaptation FROM anime/manga, not the other way around. 5. No live-action will be accepted in the future anymore. Thoughts? |

Ok, let's go with "Approve as long as related to anime and made in Japan or Korea"
* needs anime version, wheter preceding or following the live-action; manga and/or light novel only is insufficient * Japan and Korea because we have those 2 languages in the encyc How does that sound? |

Fair enough, but I'd like to point out some ironies:
The project of Death Note live-action movie was announced much earlier than its anime. Same for NANA. Such thing would never happen in the future then.
How about English, French, German, Italian, etc... then? I wouldn't be surprised at all if this Polish film gets an anime counterpart. |

How about this:
4pt if adapted from anime / 2pt if adapted to anime 2pt if adapted from manga / 1pt if adapted to manga 1pt if adapted from light novel 2pt if original anime/manga/l.novel was a massive hit 2pt if made in Japan 1pt if Japanese anime/manga creator is involved 2pt if reviewed on ANN 1pt if mentioned in ANN news ...and it gets accepted if it gets 8pts or more 
All I'm saying, really, is that one should look at the big picture and figure out if it's relevant to anime fans. Last edited by Dan42 on Thu Mar 04, 2010 3:37 am; edited 1 time in total |

LOL! Two thumbs up! 
Agreed. Say, soon we'll have an anime adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. While it's a masterpiece in the history of literature, we definitely DON'T need all its adaptations throughout centuries of history.
