Megumi Hayashibara & Manabi edit

Where does it say that Hayashibara turned down the role for Manabi? Someone got a source for that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.197.157.0 (talk) 00:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC).Reply

That information is from the Japanese wikipedia, but we're not supposed to cite other wikipedia pages. I'm sure the info was from some interview in some Japanese magazine, but the Japanese wiki page wasn't cited, so there's no telling where the info first came from.--() 05:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Year edit

This is relevant to the setting, when I have the time I'll review to see what year it is set in, but I remember a key aspect of the plot here was that it was at least a decade or two in the future where there are shortages of students which are causing the school closings.

It's explicitly stated to occur in 2035, I believe in episode one of the anime.-- 04:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
I thought it would be mentioned in the first DVD booklet, but I can't see it, nor from flicking through the others. I've listened to the first episode and not heard the date, but then most if it went over my head anyway and while I have a fansub somewhere I've no idea where...

It should also be in the manga, btw.-- 00:01, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

"Anime series based on manga" edit

I'm not sure this applies here. While the manga came out first, I believe this was more of a media-mix project. Ufotable is, after all, an animation studio and the animation process is a lot more involved and drawn out than it is for manga. JA.wiki, citing a book I do not have, says that planning on the anime started in 2003. Shiroi Hane (talk) 01:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Mentioning Okazaki as the author of both the OP and ED edit

I added a source to "Lucky & Happy" in the anime section, where only "A Happy Life" was being mentioned. The previous edit implied that only one song was made by her, but the truth is that Okazaki made both songs, and I also think it's important to mention this since I'm pretty certain (but can't assure) that Hayashibara-san deliberately chose both songs to pay a homage to her friend, Okazaki Ritsuko. It's not the first time she's done covers for her, at the very least, and some more references won't really damage the article.

As may be obvious, I'm not an user and normally don't edit wikipedia articles, however I think there should be no problems, since I edited this the same way "A happy life" was being referenced. If anyone thinks the way I posted this is wrong, feel free to edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.25.167.108 (talk) 04:54, 6 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
