I noticed this news story isn't linked from the De:vadasy anime page because the title of the anime is mispelled in the news story. I don't know whether or not it makes sense to change the title of a news story that is more than 10 years old, but I was hoping it could be linked from the anime page. If you do think the title should be changed, then the follow-up story also has the wrong title (it is already linked from the anime page though since it used the right name of the anime in the body of the article).

I was also going to submit several error reports for De:vadasy (mainly to the cast list), but I figured it would be simpler to list them here.

First, the plot summary is taken from the DVD description (see for instance the release page). It should probably just be blanked out until someone decides to write a new one (I guess I could, but I'm not very good at writing plot descriptions).

Also, the cast list doesn't specify the importance of the characters for the Japanese version, and specifies the wrong importance for many characters for the English version. Kei is the main character, and definitely should have primary importance. Amara/Amala (I'm not sure which is right), Naoki, and Takashina are all major characters, so probably they should be listed as secondary (assuming only the protagonist should be listed as primary). I'm thinking Yamada is the next most important character . . . I think he should probably be listed as secondary as well. The rest of the cast (the ones who are just listed as a title but no name) are all minor characters.

I don't have the necessary permissions to fix the news articles, but I have hidden the plot summary and corrected the importance of the characters. The order of the characters' names, and—in the case of the English-language version—the addition of the characters' full names is something I'll leave for later or another editor.

Fixed all typos, plus a few other things. Let me know if there's anything I've missed.

Thank you both for your work on this. Everything I had noticed seems fixed now.
