Talk:Noir (anime)

Mirielle is FRENCH. The last time I checked, Corsica still was part of France. They may have their own language and culture separate from most of France, but so do the people of Alsace-Lorraine, Britanny, and Provence. That's like saying Quebecois aren't Canadians or Hawaiians aren't American becuause they have a distinct language and culture that is different from their mother countries.

- Uh...actually, the story goes out of its way to say that Mireille is specifically Corsican (as opposed to being from Brittany or Anjou or whatever). I don't see what the big deal is: if someone is from Sicily, we understand that, by extension, they are also Italian, but saying that you are from Sicily contains extended connotations (e.g., La Cosa Nostra). Similarly, when I say I'm a Texan, that means that I'm also, technically American, but saying I'm from Texas often has additional connotations. RADICALBENDER★ 13:50, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Title of this show
The title of this show in the English language release is Noir, not NOIR. We try not to get involved in the weird, nonsensical casing that the Japanese are fond of and use the English language titles for the titles of these articles when they become licensed (when not yet licensed, we use the Japanese name, like Maria-sama ga Miteru or Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - when they're licensed and retitled, they'll be moved).
This is why the article for Kare Kano is officially at His and Her Circumstances and Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE is at Tsubasa.

Images
Do we really need four seperate images for an article of this length? Pyrop 03:26, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, it seems a bit too much. The opening sequence screenshot and Kirika's pic seem good for the article, but maybe the other ones could be taken off. It'll just clutter the page. – Kaonashi 03:35, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Looking at the article, I thought I could make it lots cuter by adding a screenshot. At the end, I ended up adding four because I thought for fair use it was better to place more and more compressed images than one in truecolor lossless splendor, and having more images also gives a far more detailed idea of what the anime is like. So I went for the title, for the after opening sequence, for a random scene and for a character (Kirika Yumura), and took my time tweaking JPEG parameters in order to get small but good looking images. At the end, they add up 250k, and make the article lots nicer... but that's just my opinion. Maybe I'm too graphic, but I just think that one image is never quite enough to ilustrate a game (like KULT: The Temple of Flying Saucers which I wrote yesterday); and 3-4 is a decent minimum... but well, maybe that's just me :).Rvalles 11:36, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
- I agree. Especially for something graphic, like a movie or a game, a picture says more than a thousand words can possibly hope to convey. An article on a movie without a few pictures won't tell a reader "what it's like". Shinobu 20:31, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
