Grammar[edit]

Spiral is a mystery story with a plot that is much deeper than other detective series, like Case Closed (Detective Conan).

So, does that mean that it has a deep plot like case closed or a deeper plot than other detective series including case closed?

Piano[edit]

Added a piano piece to the "Piano music" list. --Mufurc 21:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's nice…I always wondered what the pieces were that Eyes' had "played" in the series. DJLon 03:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey i have a question, during tense scenes throughout the anime, they played one paticular peice, i can be heard in the ayumu verus rio event when Hiyono throws him the key from the train passing above. So my question is, what is the name of that song? Numerrik 1:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Name Changed[edit]

I changed the name of the article because Wikipedia ALWAYS refers to anime by its English title. 82.41.66.173 14:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)DanZieBoy[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Spiral-v01-c01-cover.jpg[edit]

Image:Spiral-v01-c01-cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gap in article[edit]

The english version lasts 25 episodes, and by the end of these episodes the nature of blade children is left partially unexplained. Is there another version in the original language that lasted more than 25 episodes, or is there a manga? How long is the manga, how far into the story did it run, and how does it differ from the anime? If at all possible, could I have at least a couple of my questions answered. I understand this page is 100% volunteer, but it would be nice to understand whats going on.

There is a manga and it is 15 volumes long and explains things in much more detail. I haven't finished the manga yet, and I will tell you when I finish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.12.46.226 (talk) 00:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name Meanings[edit]

what are name meanings please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.65.2 (talk) 04:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Character Page[edit]

I think that the characters should be split off into their own page, considering its getting quite long. It would also allow for characters from Spiral - Alive to be included on the page. Also, there are a lot of smaller pages for each of the characters that don't carry enough information of their own to warrant their own page. For example, Ayumu and Eyes' pages just have the blurb from this page and information on their relationships with other characters, which could be condensed or removed in any case. 24.84.2.239 (talk) 19:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, we need a character page, probably. As for the individual character pages, they could stay; they just need a lot of clean-up and expansion. Raven23 (talk) 04:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilers[edit]

I took them out because they basically explained everything to anyone even remotely curious, ruining the actual point of the show. If anyone wants to reinstate them, I say put them on their own page, since they're the first real info anyone will see, before even characters. -- Nerem I am repeating my removal of the spoilers. They ruin the series and are unnecessary. Put them on a seperate page please, or under a spoiler template or SOMETHING. Nerem (talk) 07:52, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a spoiler-free zone, and removing spoilers is a warnable offense, and can eventually lead to banning if continued. Your removal has been reversed. AnmaFinotera (talk) 03:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, can we /kindly/ move them off the /front page/, as it basically details the entire plot and ruins the story for those who haven't finished the story or are interested, without any sort of warning. In fact, it presents it as 'normal background information', when its really /the entire plot/. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerem (talk • contribs) 03:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As part of this, I am going to remove the spoilers to its own page, as it is detrimental to the page itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerem (talk • contribs) 03:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. If you continue removing content, you will find yourself being blocked. As I already told warned you before, we do not hide, warn, etc spoilers. Wikipedia is an encylopedia, as such we cover the entire work from beginning to ending. There are no spoilers on Wikipedia only coverage. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read the article.

Article Name[edit]

The article name has been changed. As per Wikipedia's naming conventions and the MOS, we should always use the official English name for the article title, and that official English name is Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning. AnmaFinotera (talk) 02:16, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chapter names and science fiction[edit]

I am bemused to notice that several of the chapter titles are taken from classic science fiction stories: "The Game of Rat and Dragon" is from Cordwainer Smith, The Mote in God's Eye, Childhood's End, Blood Music, The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth, "The Darkness Must Not Fall" may be a mistranslation of "Lest Darkness Fall", and, of course, "A Cold Equation" looks like an allusion to "The Cold Equations". And possibly others I'm not recognizing. It might be worth searching for reliable sources that have noticed and discussed the implications of this. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
