Fairy Tail in nutshell:
 
 
Lots of fanservice, trolling and nakama power! Nakama power in every fight and *spoiler* a timeskip that is not a timeskip! Now that's what I call trolling

why are they even there?

Why are hades,ultear,knightwalker,azuma,and jose on the main page under that welcome to the fairy tail wikia thing? their not even main characters. why not exchange them with makarov or some actually top protagonists? -- Troll King Imhungry4444 23:35, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Becuase the top row displays protagonists and the bottom row displays antagonists.  Iam...JakuhōRaikōben  23:36,10/10/2011 

ah well that makes sense but idk if azuma or knightwalker should be there. why not brain and faust? -- Troll King Imhungry4444 01:11, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

True, both of them were the leaders of their respective arcs, I'll trade them now.  Iam...JakuhōRaikōben  01:19,10/11/2011 

Funimation dub episode titles and character quotations

I was thinking, now that the Fairy Tail anime is being dubbed by Funimation, should the episode titles be changed to correspond to the official English title cards as translated and provided by the Funimation release? For example:

  1. "Fairy Tail (Episode)" --> "The Fairy Tail"
  2. "The Fire Dragon, the Monkey, and the Ox" --> "Fire Dragon, Monkey, and Bull"
  3. "Infiltrate! The Everlue Mansion!" --> "Infiltrate the Everlue Mansion"
  4. "DEAR KABY" --> "Dear Kaby"

If for whatever reason people may choose the unofficial, "literal" translations of the episode titles to be kept (for example, the title of episode 3 contains punctuations that are removed from the Funimation translation), could there possibly be an additional section in the episode template featuring such a translation? And while the remaining episodes uploaded online by Funimation do feature English translations via subtitles, I am more in favor of waiting until those episodes have official English title cards, but only if this change is accepted.

On a minor note, I noticed that all quotations taken from the series are based on fan translations. Granted, there are many manga chapters and anime episodes that are without official translations and such, but for those who have been officially released in English, would it be out of the question to replace them with quotations from the Del Ray/Kodansha manga translations, if not the Funimation dub (though I feel it would be more ideal to use the manga, since that is what Fairy Tail primarily is), or would it be too much trouble?

I hope you will consider this proposition. Immblueversion 17:18, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

See the discussion here. However, I'll try to add the FUNimation title on the template. RelikzRelikz Talk 19:18, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

I would be against using the Del Rey/Kodansha as well as the Funmation translations as I'm not familiar with them or how they are run. If they change something for censorship purposes or because they think some wording fits better than another then we would have incorrect translations on the site.  Iam...JakuhōRaikōben  21:06,10/18/2011 

Well, if we're only limiting the importance of official translations to determine how character names are spelled, then I guess I slightly overestimated something here. Immblueversion 00:37, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

We use Kodansha for the name translations because Mashima does the english translation for those himself, however naturally he does not do the entire volumes, so...  Iam...JakuhōRaikōben  00:42,10/19/2011 

New dub actors?

As of yesterday, the first Fairy Tail Blu-ray/DVD box set has been released to those who pre-ordered it on the online shopping website "Right Stuf". According to those who obtained it (I am not one of them), the voice cast lists for episodes 4 and 12 have confirmed the English voices for two characters whose English voices were previously unknown: reportedly, Cancer is played by Will Short, and the young Gray Fullbuster is played by one Ryan Reynolds (not the live action actor; this Ryan Reynolds is a woman and a real Funimation voice actress). Should we wait for an actual video to be uploaded and verify these claims, or should I just go ahead and add these? Immblueversion 02:00, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... I think that'd be fine since it's just two characters. Though you are going to have to link us to one of these conversations before it can be done.  Iam...JakuhōRaikōben  02:40,10/20/2011 

Unfortunately, this was via PMing on YouTube with a person who verified that s/he obtained a copy of the DVD by uploading a clip from an episode that has not been uploaded by Funimation previously. So unless there's a special method, I wouldn't be able to link you in any way I can think of. Immblueversion 18:33, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Would it at least be possible to link me to this person's youtube account so I can see the video? If so that should be enough for the change to be enacted. It's not that I think you are lying or anything, it's just it's always best to have at least some proof.  Iam...JakuhōRaikōben  22:01,10/20/2011
