Re: "Fina" vs. "Faina"

As the original creator of this page and the one who was largely responsible for expanding it into its current incarnation, I will state for the record that the Japanese-romanised spelling of Ms. Shinozaki's name was 'Fina'. I have seen it as such in all promotional and officially-licensed material from Japan, including the Ryvius artbooks. It was only after the North American release that the name was re-dubbed as 'Faina', possibly for the Americans not knowing how to pronounce her name until they heard it. The issue has been addressed on Shinozaki-san's own article as an alternate spelling. For the sake on continuity, I will be reverting all instances of Shinozaki's name back to 'Fina'. If the anomynous user wishes to discuss this, the talk page is here for your use. I await your reply. -- Euryale 01:04, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I hate to dig this discussion up again, but I'm having trouble with the justification for "Fina" over "Faina". For one, they don't pronounce it "Fina". For another, I'm finding a lot of Japanese materials with names like "Kouzi" on them, so why is it okay to use "Fina" in one case and not "Kouzi" in the other?

I would like to have seen the discussion on Faina's article, but its not going to happen in Wikipedia's current delete-happy state.Rebochan (talk) 19:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Kikki's locations

after reading the part in the article that says kikki is in every episode, i was curious to find out if this was really true. googling resulted in nothing at all.

this is what i came up with:

ep 1: 1850, huddled in the top right corner

ep 2: 5:00, pushing cart

ep 3: 8:50, walking away in background

ep 4: 8:00, standing in background, not wearing head

ep 5: 6:35, watching the monitor. not wearing head

ep 6: 4:05, walking in background, not wearing head -16:15, her costume goes flying! she speaks!

ep 7: 10:25, wearing only arm, right side of screen

ep 8: 6:50, trading music chips. she speaks! she gets a scene!

ep 9: 5:55, dino head... but where's the girl?

ep 10: 4:50, lying facedown, wearing only arm -15:20, unpacking a box with a green dino head

ep 11: 7:05, walking in foreground with cat-mascot. talks!

ep 12: 11:10, sitting alone. wearing only arm. -19:10, still there

ep 13: 3:45, carrying a food tray, wearing only arm

ep 15: 15:35, costume pieces go flying. she finds her head!

ep 16: 15:30, appears for a second at bottom right corner. walking, holding dino head

ep 17: 4:30, finds something in a pile of junk

ep 18: 6:35, looking depressed

ep 19: 10:30, searching through trash

ep 20: 10:05, sitting by the doorway

ep 21: 4:15, getting out green dino suit -15:55, pushing a cart- finally has her full suit

ep 22: 15:15 at bottom of the screen, for a few frames

ep 23: 8:45, walking with half her costume -11:10, just standing at bottom left

ep 24: 0:10, sleeping. is this the first time she's been in the intro part? -7:50, at the back of the group on the left -14:25, sitting on the right -18:15, running with the others on the left. she's everywhere in this ep!

ep 25: 4:40, she found her body... and gets splattered

ep 26: 15:05 wearing her full suit again -20:00 sleeping

as far as i'm aware, she doesn't appear in episode 14, except during the opening sequence (which doesn't count, i assume, since everyone in the show is somewhere in that humongous crowd of people). also, in episode 9, the costume appears but kikki herself isn't anywhere to be seen (as far as i could see, anyway)

etymology of RYVIUS

is there some form of meaning for the names like RYVIUS, or DICASTIA? Just wondering because they sound too good to be original and was just curious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.222.22.2 (talk) 00:45, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
