Forum:Bad Idea

Note: This was moved from the Main Page Talk Page.

While the fact of gathering all the projects on Wikia about the various anime and manga series seems interesting, mixing anime and manga whereas there are both wikis for this, instead of reviving the original ones, seems like a bad idea to me.

Wikipedia sucks at mixing franchises together (just see wikipedia:Death Note or wikipedia:BLEACH), I doubt a better way can be found.

Also, the name animanga just scratches my internal ear. --Anime Addict 20:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Considering anime is based on manga more than 90% of the time having them separate (and therefore duplicate information), is wasteful of personal resources.


 * The one-page articles on wikipedia do "suck", but the point of this wiki is to only have the Summary and Plot in an article and then direct people to a "on topic" wiki or direct them to create a new wiki. The Death Note article here is short and directs the user to the Main Death Note Wiki wherein the users of that wiki do a better job (I hope) of differentiating between the anime and manga versions.


 * "Animanga" 1,000,000 hits on google, so it seems to be an easily recognizable term.--Sxerks 01:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I concur with Sxerks. The manga acts as the screenplay for the animated series and/or movie most of the time. When the manga stops serialization, the animated version generally stops airing as well. Gin-san (Talk) 11:33, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
