Multi (To Heart) edit

  • ALT1:... that the creator of the robot character Multi expected his collaborators to be surprised at his decision to include the character in the visual novel To Heart, but instead received calm reactions?
  • ALT2: if we can start holding hooks for April Fools, even though it's a tad bit early ... that Japanese philosopher Hiroki Azuma claimed Multi is "the most influential" robot worshiped by male otaku after the Evangelion?
  • ALT3: ... that the inclusion of the robot character Multi in the visual novel To Heart inspired her creators to add a magus and an esper to the story?

  • Hook: April fools hook is fine. AGF on Japanese sources. Hooks are short enough, generally interesting. I honestly think that she was an inspiration to the moe genre may be an interesting hook as well.
Article: New enough, long enough. Referenced well (visual novel section is plot information, and thus does not need in-line citations). Where's the anime section? Is the plot the same? Paraphrasing checks impossible on offline sources, can't read Japanese either. English, online references look okay.
Summary: Couple questions. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:36, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. I haven't gotten around to write the anime section yet because I don't have access to them right now. From what I remember, the first series only go vaguely into the character's story, and the second series does adapt a few of the visual novel scenes, but has a rather different ending. I'll see about writing a summary of her other appearances later. I'm also open to ALTs on the moe genre. -- クラウド668 04:49, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
  • If you want to stick with ALT2, no need to make new alts. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
I probably can't work on it a lot until this Wednesday. Are the anime and other appearances sections absolutely necessary right now? And I'm not sure if I want to keep ALT2 or go with something more serious :P. -- クラウド668 01:31, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Nah, not absolutely necessary (would be nice though). I'll let you choose a hook, they all look okay. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:34, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I'll put on my serious hat and go with the original hook, I guess. Could you hold it off for a couple of days so that I can work on it a little more after I get back stateside, though? Thanks. -- クラウド668 17:39, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Added the adaptations and other appearances sections; I'll try to expand them at a later date. -- クラウド668 01:44, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
  • I won't have time to work on this article for a while. Is this good to go right now? -- クラウド668 14:49, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Yep, looks good. AGF on offline sources. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:43, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
