This error is a bit too complex to report via the normal channels, as it takes a little bit of explaining.

The entry for UFO Princess Enban Oujo Walküre Deluxe (OAV) is wrong. The information here is for the Season 3 OAV, and they are not the same thing.

Enban Oujo Walküre Deluxe was a single-part OAV which was released late last year as a recap of season 2, and had a preview for the upcoming third 'season', which is also being released as an OAV.

This entry should be titled UFO Princess Walküre 3: Seiresetsu no Hanayome (I've seen this often translated as 'Bride of Star Spirit Season'). The information in the entry corresponds almost entirely to S3, so it would probably make more sense to just change the title and then make a new entry for the single UFO Princess Enban Oujo Walküre Deluxe OAV.

The Oujo Walküre Deluxe DVD has catalog number ZMBZ-1893 and was released 2004/12/22. This is attached to the current entry and will probably need to be moved / re-added.

For a quick reference to back this information up, the Official Japanese site has all the current DVD releases. The first two entries are the first two DVDs of the current Season 3 OAV, and below that is the single Oujo Walküre Deluxe OAV DVD. Annoying blinking text aside, even if you can't read the Japanese you can see that there's a pretty clear difference between these DVD releases, with Deluxe even having a different logo. Also, there is this news article which explains that Oujo Walküre Deluxe is a recap and preview of the real thing.

Sort of unrelated, but it would probably also be worth changing the S2 title from 'Valkyrie' to 'Walküre' for consistency's sake (or alternatively, changing all the 'Walküre' to 'Valkyrie'). I'm pretty sure that Walküre is the official spelling, as it is what most of the Japanese sites refer to it as, though we will probably need to wait for ADV to get around to releasing the first season in order to find out what the eventual 'Official' english title translation is.

Since I was the one to add the alternate title and the DVD that was released on April 22, 2005, which is actually the 1st DVD for the third season OVA, I removed these.

I know this is sort of bad form, but I've tried to point this problem out multiple times and it keeps on getting ignored, so bumping. All that's needed is for the current 3 episode titles attached to this entry to be removed, and a new entry created for the real UFO Princess Valkyrie S3, then we can actually add the correct information.

EDIT: the Deluxe OAV should be marked as being a recap of S2 rather than a sequel as well.

There's a bit of inconsistency here. First you say this should be renamed to "UFO Princess Walküre 3: Seiresetsu no Hanayome" and then you say we should create a new entry for S3?

But the main point is that Deluxe seems to be merely a promotional item that doesn't deserve to be its own anime. If it's meant to be a preview for S3, then doesn't it make sense to put it with S3?

Well, with Kusanagi-sama's deletion of some content, it seemed like it wouldn't make sense to rename it any more.

Actually, it probably would make more sense for Deluxe to just be included in the S3 entry. To be honest, I hadn't thought of that.

So...now that an agreement has seemingly been reached, how come nothing's happened? Neutral
