Well, is there really a need to put in common Japanese words from anime/manga in this list? Kawaii, chibi, nekomimi, otaku, etc. is okay, but ai, and others? How about names of the colors or animals? :) --Rev-san 14:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I've been a little busy with Real Life, but I've been trying to stick in only common words that happen to make up common elemenst in anime manga titles, like Ai... Alex Law 15:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
This is not a Japanese/English dictionary, or an article listing a bunch of words from Japanese culture. I say we remove anything that isn't to do with anime or manga. If somebody wants to find out about a kimono, they'll go to the appropriate Wiki page. If they wish to translate Japanese, there's dictionaries online. And most of the words I'm keeping have links anyway.
In fact, why not bit this page completely? Harley Quinn hyenaholic 12:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
This article gives the impression of being assembled by a bunch of random otaku who want to show off their Japanesey knowledge and be the nihongo cool kids. Probably better to just delete it, although maybe it does serve some purpose to someone reading up on the stuff in question? I just can't see that the majority of this information is really relevant, and if all of the unnecessary stuff is removed, how many words would even be left? 69.34.9.2 (talk) 15:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I recently removed terms such as "beddo shiin", "parodi", and the like. Just because the English word is spelled out in Japanese; and then romanized, it does not become a term in anime and manga -- because, then we'd be able to take something like car chase (カーチェイス) and include it.

I removed the following entry from this article:
It doesn't exist (maybe nuguwayo?). Does not seem notable. Does not have any sources. Appears to be a hoax.--Endroit (talk) 12:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
That seems to be PoV. Anime fans all around the west use at least some "anime terminology" and start to learn japanese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CuSilva (talk • contribs) 21:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
