I'm moving this section here until some fanboy editor can find references to help improve this. Cheers! Duende-Poetry (talk) 13:15, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
And Once Again edit
One must ask, this arbitrary use of Popular Culture which, after an editor removes 75% of, are we any poorer as an encyclopedia because of its removal? We're still left with a list of unreferenced anime and video games. Why do we indulge those who are incapable of academic research with a place on this website? All it does is make more work for those of us who actually care that Wiki be considered anything more than a joke Duende-Poetry (talk) 16:34, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Pop Culture Trivia Will Be Removed edit
Because it seems to happen very often, I'm just leaving this here to ask people not to add trivial bits of information such as "a hyakki yagyō appears in such-and-such episode of such-and-such anime." That information does nothing to improve the article. If you think it is important to link the two, then the appropriate place would be to reference this page (Hyakki Yagyō) from that particular anime's page. Not vice versa.

Removing Pop Culture Trivia Again edit
I'm moving the pop culture trivia section here again, rather than deleting it outright, just in case someone feels it needs to be looked at more closely.
Please stop adding lists of trivial pop culture (read [Wikipedia:"In_popular_culture"_content]. It may take some work, but find a way to incorporate valuable data into a meaningful section, rather than just listing every instance of hyakki yagyo in your favorite animes. Any additions that don't fit the requirements in the pop culture article will be undone. Osarusan (talk) 14:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Nonsense edit
How about instead of obsessing over scrubbing away all references to pop-culture, y'all figure out what the hell "nights associated with the Chinese zodiac" is supposed to mean, 'cuz in all my research, that's complete gobbledegook. 82.29.160.67 (talk) 21:34, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
