Characters[edit]

Under the description for Kyoko, it is said that "She later kills herself by slitting her throat(reason is unknown)." However, it is unclear to me from episode 4 that she actually killed herself. Also, are these unnecessary spoilers in the first place? I'm not sure how spoilers are handled on character descriptions of ongoing anime series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.59.170.70 (talk) 18:45, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the character only make a brief appearance, I've removed her form the character section altogether. As for the "suicide", that is entirely speculation on the part of whoever inserted it into the article. Also, character descriptions are one such place where the reader should expect to come across so-called "spoilers". —Farix (t | c) 21:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yu's voice in Ayumu's daydreams[edit]

I suggest Yu's voice in Ayumu's daydreams should be put in the episode list (by its own section) rather than all in her character info, with a note of the seiyus are down in the list in her chara info. It looks cleaner that way, having all the seiyu in the character section is way too messy. (70.71.121.7 (talk) 07:22, 15 February 2011 (UTC))[reply]

"Is this a Zombie?" Japanese Official Romaji Title[edit]

IP Address 86.146.110.253 stated that the Title is "Koreha Zombie Desuka" as shown in the Cover Title. Our sources went by the Japanese Pronunciation, "Kore wa Zombie Desu ka". Please do not cause an Edit War and discuss below. --(B)～（ー．ー）～(Z) (talk) 18:31, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First off, you are actually not going by pronunciation. The pronunciation is 'kore wa zombie des ka'. So we are meant to write pronunciations, not how Japanese people would say you should write the words? When we write German, why don't we write their word for 'no' as 'nine'? That's how it's pronounced after all. 86.146.110.253 (talk) 19:37, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is really a huge difference between reading and writing for most Languages. In Japanese, the Hiragana "は" and "わ" is read as "ha" and "wa" respectively. However, the term "は" is read as "wa" when used as the next term after a noun as an Official Rule set by the MEXT. If you are talking about your opinion then I suggest you post a clear and suitable explanation on your opinion.
However, there was also a Discussion regarding that Title 2 years ago in this same page. You should take a look at the Discussion that happened just right above this Section. It might be possible to change the title if we can share our points and come to a conclusion on our consensus.
I should also remind you that I am a native speaker of Japanese as shown on my User Page. --(B)～（ー．ー）～(Z) (talk) 05:46, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So as a native speaker of Japanese, you don't see anything wrong with saying that "これはゾンビですか?" is pronounced as "Korewa zombie desu ka?" FYI I looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese which doesn't say anything about writing は as 'wa', it merely states that は is 'ha'. Can you also explain why all Japanese word processors would use 'ha' for は, yet Wikipedia are convinced that is just wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.110.253 (talk) 06:14, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You should check on this link actually. The reading of "は" is definitely "ha" in Most cases, whereas "wa" is situational, in cases where it is read "as a grammatical particle and serve as a topic marker of the sentence". We never claimed that "これはゾンビですか?" as "Koreha Zombie Desuka?" was wrong in the first place, we simply claimed that "Kore wa Zombie desu ka?" was probably the best Japanese Title according to our notable sources. That is why the Title is still open to changes if a Title with much better notable sources can be proven. I should ask the higher-ups at Wikipedia: WikiProject Anime and Manga for their opinion but for now, we are using "Kore wa Zombie desu ka?"
Also IP 86.146.110.253, remember to sign your future post(s). Thank you. --(B)～（ー．ー）～(Z) (talk) 06:45, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So you are saying that the best title is one that isn't used by either the manga or anime producers? 86.146.110.253 (talk) 08:09, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You might be misunderstanding something. To be very precise, we will choose the Title that fits best into this Article according to our notable sources. If the original author do claim that it is not, then there should be sources that you can find to prove it. If what you are trying to state can be recognized by many readers, then your sources probably should be more notable than the sources we have now. If you are really serious about this then you should find the notable sources about your claim, otherwise the article should stay as it is, as the original author hasn't made any claim about the romaji Title being mistaken yet. Thank you. --(B)～（ー．ー）～(Z) (talk) 13:09, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to walk into this dispute uninvited, but how about a compromise? The Title could read Is This a Zombie? (これはゾンビですか?, Kore wa Zonbi Desu ka?, displayed as "Koreha Zombie Desuka?"), if it's all right. --Ryanasaurus007 (talk) 19:42, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Uh no. We are not changing the name out of people's ignorance of the Japanese language. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:33, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have just checked IP 86.146.110.253 and found out that the reader was probably new to editing Wikipedia. Seems like he's not here to cause a dispute anymore. I'll close this section with no changes needed. Thank you. --(B)～（ー．ー）～(Z) (talk) 05:19, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Video games?[edit]

This article is listed in four video game categories, but the article seems to be about a novel series. The article only makes a brief mention about Lollipop Chainsaw. If there are no other video games that have anything to do with the novels (I'm not familiar with this series), then those game categories should be removed from this article, since it is not about a video game.

 Done A mention in a different video game doesn't mean the series has a featured video game. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:25, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
