How to Submit Series Relations.

So they should be re-arranged after all. The proper story order is the order I listed all of the titles in in my previous post (each item on the list is a sequel of the previous item on the list). And the only overlap/retellings among all of them is that "Angelique (OVA)" is a loose adaptation/retelling of "Angelique (manga)". Everything else is completely different. I hope that clears things up.

Afraid not.

All manga and anime adaptions were based on the game. While we are certain that

Shiroi Tsubasa no Memoir (2000) Seichi Yori Ai o Komete (2001) Twin Collection (2002)

were on the same plot line, I'm not sure were to insert the 2004 OVA, which was made as a 10th anniversary for the original game released in 1994. As for two Koi suru Tenshi Angelique series: the story surrounds a new female lead named Ange; while male characters are still the same, spoiler[those two candidates to the throne in the original Angelique story are now queens of two worlds (Kandori and Seijuu).] Therefore two Koi series are considered either a spinoff or a sequel -- depends on how the new story related to the old one.

It's correct except for the placement of OVA 2004. OVA 2004 tells the very beginning of the story (as does the manga) so it should be before all of the other animations. The other OVAs take place long after the 2004 OVA.

That's why it's the prequel of Shiroi Tsubasa no Memoir, Seichi Yori Ai o Komete, and Twin Collection. That's what prequel means: produced later but with earlier stories. Like Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace is the prequel of Star Wars [Episode IV - A New Hope], The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. You don't put The Phantom Menace at the beginning of Star Wars saga when dealing with an article introducing the series from an objective viewpoint (NOT from Lucas' own), even though The Phantom Menace is the earliest story-wise. Right now I put it as the prequel of Shiroi Tsubasa no Memoir, for adding it as a prequel of three other OVAs are rather redundant and would clot up the relationship tree.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

- a sequel is a story that happens after the original - a prequel is a story that happens before the original So if a title B is a sequel of A, then A is not a prequel of B because A is the original title that led to the creation of B, not the inverse.

Oh, Thank you.
That clarifies things.
Well Ok.
The source of conflict here is City hunter.
The following is a list of sequels in chronological order:
City hunter 2.
City hunter 3.
City hunter 91.
City Hunter: .357 Magnum.
City Hunter: Bay City Wars.
City Hunter: Million Dollar Conspiracy.
City Hunter: The Secret Service.
City Hunter: Goodbye my Sweetheart.
City Hunter: Death of the Vicious Criminal Ryo Saeba.
The following is an adaptation:
City Hunter (live-action movie).


This gives you 11 titles. I don't know if you consider it enough for an omnibus.

Thank you

Add to that list the anime Angel Heart as another sequel. As pointed out by Dormcat to me recently the mangas have been linked but the Angel Heart anime page does not include any links to previous City Hunter series. There's the info anyway do with it what you will.

Well I don't really understand but whatever, you're the editor..

Nagagutsu Sanjyuushi (movie) (#3586) is the sequel to Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko (movie) (#3799), and is in turn succeeded by Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko 80 Nichikan Sekai Isshuu (movie) (#3614); the latter two are already linked, so Nagagutsu Sanjyuushi (#3586) just needs to be put "between" them.

Hand Maid May (TV) (#29) needs to have episode 11 split from it, as it is actually an OAV.
