Greyjoy: Removed Badass Normal. It doesn't apply if "pretty much every person in the show" is one.
Space Drake: Concerning my Crowning Moment Of Awesome entry here; is the per-episode thing a little excessive? I wanted to ensure there were examples of the trope but I think I may have gone overboard. Scifantasy: I think you did. But personally I've found that people tend to apply "Crowning Moment Of Awesome" too casually. Tanto: That's because it doesn't actually have a definition. It's just "any moment that someone, somewhere, thinks is cool enough to talk about". No, I'm not bitter. Why do you ask? Scifantasy: Heh. You have a point. The problem is, it's one of those extremely Subjective Tropes. Count your blessings, though. There could be worse problems for this wiki to have than a lot of geeking out. At least it's pretty well contained. Really, I think that the big thing is to try to keep CMOA-creep from infecting pages outside the CMOA set. So, Space Drake, maybe shift your comments to the Crowning Moment Of Awesome Anime page? There, you can fight it out. Space Drake: CMOA examples moved to the CMOA page. For the record, I still think at least episode 3 was a legitimate Crowning Moment if only for the huge Xanatos Gambit based on a bluff, and the animation and voice work of Chiko sliding from confusion to "oh yeah, it's so on". Scifantasy: It's damn awesome, I don't deny it...but the page looks a lot saner now. Gloating Swine: On timeframe: It all looks late forties/early fifties to me, with a few bits of mild Schizo Tech like the tank and plane in episodes 2 and 3. Chiko's family had an electronic television (invented 1936), but people seemed to be watching a public one, implying that they're not all that common yet. I'd say The Roaring Twenties is definitely wrong, but could be The Fiftes, though that doesn't quite fit. Scifantasy: Tricky. If this was the US I'd be more confident saying "between the wars." Zeppelins, gangsters with guns, and the way they refer to "the war" screams post-WWI, but before WWII. Of course, that's if this was America. I don't know enough about Japanese history to comment. Gloating Swine: Pulling it. One of the newspapers in the first episode has a date on (the second one that flashes up). January 2, 1955. It's readable on the HD version.
Nerem Was Angie really always out to get Chiko? As she seemed to snap after Chiko runs away with the stolen goods. And later when Chiko asks if she had basically always been a thief and just playing Chiko, Angie tells her that she's 'a moron if you believe that' implying that Chiko was wrong. Gloating Swine: Cut
Dentaku: I wonder whether it's wise to use Japanese characters. Most people who visit this site will likely not have the right character set installed and only see garbage. Gloating Swine: Agreed, they don't display at this location either. Nuked it, the Japanese title is in the page pic anyway. |
