Regarding No Way Out (OAV) (#6995): The title "No Way Out" was from JapanAnime's announced release—which never happened. Instead, Media Blasters/Kitty Media released it as "Project Boobs" (Project Boobs at The Right Stuff International); I thus propose that the primary title be changed from No Way Out to Project Boobs.

IMHO the Lexicon entry World Manga (#99) needs a couple of changes.

First, change

Quote:
IC Ent (Ironcat) put out a short lived anthology called "Amerimanga." IC Ent may have coined the term.

to
Quote:
I.C. Entertainment (Studio Ironcat) put out a short lived anthology called "Amerimanga." I.C. Entertainment may have coined the term.

Also, adding a link to Tokyopop's entry would also be good.

Second, add the term "manga influenced comics (MIC)".

[Some still pending]

Edit: Since I just discovered that the Lexicon is now editable (at least for me at my level of permissions), I fixed text of the above and added HTML links, but while the text was saved, the links are not visible.

Secret of Devil's Island (OAV) (#4824) may have been solicited under that title, but is called "Hyakki: The Secret of Devil's Island" by Media Blasters/Kitty Media (cover here).

Note that the dash in the current alternate title should probably be changed to a colon, as there are at least two other "Hyakki's".

FLCL OAV (#277) is listed twice on GAINAX's (#54) page, rather than having all of the credits combined. (Is this an above-the-line/below-the-line type of error?)

Ditto Coyote Ragtime Show TV (#6451) on ufotable's (company #4362) page. This seems to be database bug.

Edit: And Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! TV (#6789), also on ufotable's page.

[Fixed]—duplicate report.

The "preists and preistesses" theme, while correctly applied (so far), is misspelled—it should be "priests and priestesses" ("I before E, except after C").

Pixy Junket (U.S. manga) (#4524) should have its type changed to "manga", as it was originally published in Japan. Proof: the Amazon.co.jp listing and Jason Thompson's Manga: The Complete Guide, p. 274.

A title change request: "Dosokai Yesterday Once More" to "Dōsōkai Yesterday Once More". Proof 1 and 2.

I've changed them, however, long vowels without macron are not "wrong," or we'd have to use them for Tōkyō and Ōsaka as well. Macrons are recommended but not required.

The large Encyclopedia images for subscribers have a problem: they overrun the border if there is "insufficient" header material. E.g. (NSFW) Shimai Tsuma ~Shimai Tsuma 3~—screenshot here. (I'm viewing these pages in both Firefox 2.0.0.14 and Safari 1.3.2 under Mac OS 10.3.9, at a resolution of 1600 × 1200.)

It has already been reported to Dan, as Encyc staff are far more affected than just oversize pictures.

Didn't know that subscribers can see images at 400x400. Shocked Most source images are not that big to begin with (remember there's still 100 KB limit) and have to be enlarged i.e. interpolated.

It's one of the benefits (we can set the maximum size), along with turning off the ads, and having a special server reserved for us. Very Happy

The title of Kisaku The Letch III (#4898) should actually be Kisaku the Letch—proof 1, proof 2, and proof 3 (pay attention to the covers, not the page titles).

Also, Shusaku (#3952) should be "Shusaku the Letch" (proof), while Shusaku the Letch (#5978) should be "Shusaku the Letch: Liberty" (which I've already entered as an alternate title; proof).

Anime #5748 should be titled "Ail Maniax", rather than "Maniax". Proof: the Pink Pineapple "あ" series page, the Ail Maniax episode 3 page, and the Getchu.com series link.

Elle (OAV) (#2122) should have that title removed and one of the alternate titles substituted, as neither of the North American, nor the Japanese release, use that title. Proof: el （エル） at Getchu.com; NuTech volume 1 and volume 2; Kitty Media's collection.

Edit: According to the Japanese Wikipedia article, "Elle" is the title of the first version of the game (1991), but not the second or the OAV.

Ikusa Otome Valkyrie (#8073) is the actual "Ride of the Valkyrie", rather than Ikusa Otome Valkyrie Shinshō (#9335), so the English title needs to be transfered. Screenshots for proof (click the cover image thumbnails on the first four): IKV Vol. 1 and IKV Vol. 2, IKVS Vol. 1 and IKVS Vol. 2, and Ride of the Valkyrie.

Blame this on John Sirabella's confusing (mis)information (see this post and Mr. Sirabella's response).
