  • "The DVD box cover of the Popotan anime." from the caption, is not a sentence.
  • "The anime, which features character designs by Haruka Sakurai based on the original concept by Akio Watanabe[2][3] under the alias of Poyoyon Rock,[4][5] was developed by Shaft, directed and storyboarded by Shinichiro Kimura, and written by Jukki Hanada." is very convoluted. Try splitting it up into multiple sentences.
    • Done. Semi-colon split the character designs (which was probably the section that made it so convoluted).じんない 03:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "They originally aired on TBS's satellite station BS-i from July 17, 2003 through October 2, 2003" needs a comma before and after BS-i.
  • "From August 15, 2003 through August 17, 2003 the first episode of Popotan, "Secret House", was shown for free at Ishimaru Electronics in Japan." needs a comma after the second 2003 and personally, I would use "to" instead of "through" or just exchange the whole intro for "Between August 15 and August 17, 2003,".
  • "At the same time Bandai released DVDs without the figurines at a lower cost." Needs a comma after "time".
  • "The discs also came with a promotional figurine of one of the girls." I assume you mean "Each disc also came with..."?
  • "[11]Geneon USA licensed needs a space between the ref and the next sentence.
  • How come only the opening theme is mentioned and not the closing theme? More detail could be given here, including the name of the artist.
    • I added all information on the any release based directly on the anime's songs.じんない 03:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • EP# should be bolded. Other lists tend to just use # as well, so you may want to consider that. I personally don't care either way.
  • Do "mansion" and "ghosts" really need to be wikilinked? Same with most of the other wikilinks in the episodes; I'd assume most readers know what "Christmas" is.
    • I removed ghosts as it's not that pertinent to the story. Christmas, or rather the idea of Christmas, plays a somewhat more important role in the anime and while most people might be familiar with it, it is also relevant to the topic, especially as it relates to 1 episode in particular.
    • Mansion...well...i could remove that one. While it is a central location not knowing about it would not inpede one's reading of the list as much as Christmas would.じんない 03:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • On that note, can you wikilink to List of Popotan characters more often? I have never seen this series, so I had no clue who the characters are.
    • I added links to characters mentioned not at the top. That should be enough links to that page.じんない 03:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I trust Malleus Fatuorum (talk · contribs) did a good job copyediting, so I won't even look at the episode list for errors I won't find. Good job on the list overall. And why yes, I stole this comment layout from Matthewedwards (talk · contribs). I quite like it. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR ( t • c ) 01:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I really dislike the formatting of some of the citation templates... Anyway, I did a minor c/e and tweaking, so I will support. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR ( t • c ) 04:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: instead of using multiple sources for the Japanese epsiode titles, I believe it would be better to use a single source (perhaps http://www.b-ch.com/cgi-bin/contents/ttl/stry_list.cgi?ttl_c=601) as a general reference, as many other animanga FLs do. —tan³ tx 10:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another comment: per WP:MOS-JA#Titles of books and other media, "S・U・K・I" is styled inappropriately, and should probably be "Suki". —tan³ tx 10:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Did this myself. —tan³ tx 03:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done...took me a while to figure out what was the actual "title" and was was the "work" it was published under.じんない 10:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No other problems I can see. Support. —tan³ tx 03:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

It was mainly by concerns with reliable sourcing that held this back on the two previous occasions, and my previous concerns have now been satisfied.

  • My only question is what is Getchu, and what makes it a reliable source, as I couldn't find much info about it. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:58, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Getchu is a major retailer of adult games in Japan. Sourcing from it would be analogous to sourcing from Amazon, I believe. —tan³ tx 00:15, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other Comments

  • Where you have multiple references (e.g. [10][18][19][11]) they should be in numeric order.
  • Citations should use consistent templates, I changed one from {{citation}}, but wasn't sure if the Getchu was citing the website ({{cite web}}) or something else.
    • The article cites various pages on Getchu. The article cites either the media itself or the web sites. No real print media beyond the media related to this exists that I know of.じんない 01:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think you may have misunderstood. Most of the Getchu are {{cite web}} which is fine. However ref 27 and 29 use the form {{citation}}. These two refs need to be changed to a specific citation template – depending on whether you are citing the web page itself: {{cite web}}, or the CD notes: {{Cite album-notes}}.

  • The image is missing an fair-use rationale

Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:58, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. I fixed any remaining issues I found myself. I wish to congratulate Jinnai for persisting with this, through 3 FLCs and my many opposes/comments. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support My concerns were resolved in previous FLCs.

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
