Original Runs...[edit]

The dates are abit mixed up. Can someone search for the correct dates? Please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.123.17.19 (talk • contribs) 14:42, 21 June 2007

Yes, especially since the TV series version explicitly references the character designs of both the original OVA series and the Nuku Nuku Dash! version it would seem to follow the creation of Nuku Nuku Dash!??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.160.218.42 (talk) 22:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seinen?[edit]

This is not a seinen show... Shōjo or josei seems more appropriate. Please revert and comment here if you disagree... ask123 14:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The manga that its based on was serialized in a seinen magazine. --ChuChu 15:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku Nuku DASH! merger[edit]

Right now, the article on All Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku Nuku DASH! is too far developed to make merging it back into this article appropriate. There is also plenty of reliable third-party sources to establish the notability of All Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku Nuku DASH! I don't understand why the article should be merged back into this article or why All Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku Nuku DASH! shouldn't stand as it's own article. --Farix (Talk) 14:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is an OVA of All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku. I don't see that it stands alone outside of the original, and I think it could be merged back in without that much problem. However, if someone wants to finish developing Dash to show it is notable on its own, since it does have an alternate universe type story, I could see keeping it separate. AnmaFinotera (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Demonstrating its notability has already been accomplished. Just how much more notability do it need to be? --Farix (Talk) 18:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wording that wrong. In general, I don't think an OVA needs to be separate from the main series, unless it is very different. I don't know much about Nuku Nuku, so if the OVA is significantly different from the series, then I can see keeping it separate, though hopefully that means someone will be expanding Dash into a full article? AnmaFinotera (talk) 20:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the merge notices. However, in doing some clean up in this article, I'm trying to figure out why it has its current name. The manga adaptation was first and its name is Cat Girl Nuku Nuku. It would seem to me that this article needs to be renamed to Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, per the MOS and naming conventions. Meanwhile, I've attempted to clean out a lot of confusing info, and false info, but this article needs a LOT more work to get it in shape. AnmaFinotera (talk) 00:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku is likely the title that most English readers are going to be most familiar with.

Is that the title ADV used for the manga release? Otherwise, that seems to be putting too much emphasis on one of the OVA adaptations over the primary and first version. AnmaFinotera (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently so.[http://www.amazon.com/All-Purpose-Cultural-Girl-Nuku/dp/1413900240/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204678152&sr=8-4] But then, the first OVA was released in the English language market almost a decade before ADV published the manga. Unfortunately, ANN doesn't keep track of the VHS releases. --Farix (Talk) 00:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay...though it should probably mention that somewhere in the article, that ADV released it with the OVA name. AnmaFinotera (talk) 01:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"True name"?[edit]

What are you talking about? I have all of the releases, and all of them have "All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl" on them. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 06:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The original Japanese name for the manga is Cat Girl Nuku Nuku and the TV series is Nuku Nuku'.' The US releases were all done with All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku. While the article should use the official English name, we should still use the original name for the opening, with notes as needed on renames. AnmaFinotera (talk) 15:28, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, the original Japanese name is 万能文化猫娘, and none of the manga I've seen has "Cat Girl Nuku Nuku" (though all of them have either "Bannou Bunka Neko Musume", "Banneko", or both). So (again), I ask you exactly where you're getting this info as it's just plain wrong. It's certainly not from the original manga covers, from the Japanese WIkipedia article, Amazon.co.jp. or anywhere like that. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 04:21, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay...then ANN must have it listed wrong. Normally their titles are right, but if the original Japanese manga cover has the full All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl then never mind. AnmaFinotera (talk) 04:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ANN is actually frequently wrong on less popular titles (and even sometimes on popular titles). Like Wikipedia, it's a good start, but it shouldn't be the ultimate authority. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 05:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?[edit]

Because I'm just annoying. No sources (reliable or otherwise), no significant coverage.. seems like a candidate for afd? Aar ► 06:06, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like you put any effort into searching. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Other results from Mania.com. Other results from ANN. Of course, there is still THEM Anime reviews and a bunch of other places to be checked out. --Farix (Talk) 11:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree that it needs some work, but it's definitely fixable. Dandy Sephy (talk) 11:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"One-sided"[edit]

The 'Plot' section claims there is "a one-sided war between Nuku Nuku and another android named Eimi", and also that "both their fights end in a draw". That… doesn't sound one-sided. 109.224.247.180 (talk) 14:02, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
