I, Narutolovehinata5, will be reviewing this article.

@Tintor2: The article is almost there (I feel the plot section might be a bit too short but given that it's a film and not a series it wouldn't be right either to describe every plot detail). But right now I'm seeing a glaring issue with the article: there's no detailed discussion on the film's theatrical release! Is there any information available for that, online or otherwise? For example, does information about promotional events, coverage about the premiere itself, box-office performance, etc. exist? Because unless that issue is resolved or cannot be resolved due to sources being unavailable I would fail this right now. And as an aside, are there any sales figures for the home release of the film? Because that could be a worthwhile addition to the reception section. As for the development section, do interviews with the film's theme song singers, comments by them, or otherwise discussion on the film's music exist? A somewhat more complete discussion on the film's music, similar to Puella Magi Madoka Magica would make for interesting reading.

In addition to this, while this is optional and thus not a pressing concern, do Japanese reviews for the film exist? Because it would interesting to see how Japanese reviewers and audiences received the film.

I also discovered a minor typo in the Plot section: it should be "it was Kawasaki's first animated film" or "it was the director's first film" as opposed to "it was director's first film".

Result:  On hold pending the issues I have raised being addressed. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:16, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the review @Narutolovehinata5:. I added the premiere date in the development section. As about the plot's length, the problem is that it's only 35 minutes long. There was also no original soundtrack as it used the ones from the tv series. The two theme songs were released as singles. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 14:04, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Well, you still didn't address some of my other concerns. But I can wait. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 14:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry. I was kinda busy. I tried fixing the director's problem. Also, I don't know if I can find a Japanese review and even I could, I'm unable to read that language. @Narutolovehinata5: Tintor2 (talk) 20:23, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Anyway, while I understand that you cannot understand Japanese, the information I'm looking for (box-office performance and other theatrical release information) might be available in sites like Box Office Mojo. Also, it's possible for you to use Google Translate to get at least basic information. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:05, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Sadly I can't find anything even in the Box Office Mojo. Fail the article if you will. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 01:49, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

So it seems that the information I'm asking about for the article probably doesn't exist, at least not online. As such, I'm going to request a second opinion for this one. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:59, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

I will give Tintor2 until the 19th to address the article's issues (whether through editing or explaining), particularly on the issue of a lack of discussion for the movie's release, as well as its box-office and home video performances. If these are not address this will be at best a 50-50. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 06:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5 I'm afraid you'll have to fail because the only site with sales Kaze is dead. Still, good work reviewing this article.Tintor2 (talk) 13:59, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Normally, I would fail this article now given that the primary author admits that some of my concers were unable to be addressed. However, Tintor2 has implicitly suggested that coverage about the film is either limited or no longer available. As such, the article's content might only be representative of whatever sources are available. Given the circumstances, and my own lack of experience in reviewing GANs, I'm requesting a second opinion for this one. I already did above, but I kind of messed up with the process, so this time I'm making it formal. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5 User:Tintor2 is apparently endorsing a quickfail of the article because of citation and reference articles no longer being available. See the recent quickfails for The Revenant (2015 film) and for Sonnet 129 to see if their approach is applicable. If the references are no longer available here in this article you might also add a citation template in the article to specify this issue. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 15:13, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the second opinion but I think this one is different from The Revenant (2015 film) because it's regarded as a short film. Also, Sonnet 129 appears to be quite different. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 17:04, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Given that the second opinion has also recommended failing the GA, I am sorry to say that this GAN has not passed. Nevertheless, Tintor2 did a good job in the article and did his best in improving it. As a consolation, I have assessed the article as C-class as opposed to Start-class, and it should be good enough for B-class with a little more work.
