For MyAnimeList the producer company of the series is Studio Puyukai, but for Anime News Network it isn't that. Which company is the producer of series?--White DemΩn (talk) 12:21, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neither MAL or ANN's encyclopedia are very reliable sources (both being user generated), but looking at the credits on one of the episodes (at around the the 2:25 point) you can see that Puyukai is listed under animation production (アニメーション制作). So yes, it appears they are the producer. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 13:01, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I watched this episode, but didn't pay attention.--White DemΩn (talk) 18:28, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sakretsu: Thanks. I had the same thought about splitting it up, though I hadn't considered splitting it beyond the light novels and the anime. As for the caption, I'm not sure if I see what you're saying. The image shows an earlier design for them, (the "Mahouka" design), and the caption is essentially trying to say "this is what they used to look like. Can you see the difference between it and how they look now?". Maybe instead of "how their designs later evolved", I should make it "how their designs would later evolve"? Or is that missing the point of your question? G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 13:50, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply

I just split it into subsections - in your opinion, do they work? G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 14:06, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, they do work, but you can consider reorganizing them

Sakretsu (talk) 16:12, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply

Ohhh, now I see what you're saying about the images; I'm just so used to seeing character designs organized this way that it didn't register. Yes, that could be a problem. As far as dividing up the production section between the various media sections... I would fight you tooth and claw on that. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 16:20, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should remove the second part of the sentence and make it just be Early concept art for the characters Subaru and Emilia.? G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 16:23, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would work as well.--

The article lists Crusch's retainer's name as "Ferris", which he is indeed credited as in the source (and in the character design image there). However, in Crunchyroll's subtitles, he is called "Felix" (as well as "Felis" one time, presumably by mistake?). His character profile on the anime's website also uses this spelling, so barring any objections, I'm going to change it to Felix in the entire article.

The problem is, the light novel website lists it as Ferisu (フェリス). Can someone who reads Japanese look at the light novels to see if there's perhaps a spelling inconsistency between the original and the anime? G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 01:46, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

G S Palmer, according to my knowledge this is a radio show, named Re: Radio life in a different world from zero (Re：ゼロから始める異世界ラジオ生活). The show began broadcasting on March 28, 2016 and is broadcast on every Monday (21:30). Rie Takahashi (Emilia) hosts the show.

I'm thinking of nominating this for GA status in the near future. But before that happens, could someone write a proper plot summary for the series? Right now it's far too short.

Sorry, but my summaries tend to be full of typos. Also the plot summary should follow the novel, not the premise. Additionally, there is so much information about the anime that it could be given its own article. Maybe we should consider asking more members from the Wikipedia project.

Rem/Ram's birthday:
A ton of stuff has happened to celebrate Rem and Ram's birthday. Should this be added to the article, as well as the sheer popularity of the two characters (especially Rem)?

"See Also" Section:
Can we delete the stuff in there? The stuff about All You Need is Kill is completely irrelevant to the topic.

Sure, if you can find a good way to work it in, go for it. Another alternative would be to add it to their entries on the

WP:ANIME), and it also uses the same time-travel mechanism. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 09:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply

Thank you. also looking at the characters section, is this based off of the anime or the entire series including the LN? Because looking at the character's page Rem is listed as a main character. She's not a main character in the entire series (there's arcs she's 100% absent from) but was a main character in the anime. Rem and Ram in the overall series are roughly equal in terms of importance including the LN (the main source material), which I am up to date on. So if Rem's a main, Ram's a main, or they both should be supporting characters. Personally I feel the altter, they are prominent supporting characters.

It should be based on the entire series. I'm not up to date on the light novels, so I would defer to your judgement on the matter. However, since she's definitely a main character in the anime, I personally would hesitate to remove her from the main character section. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 22:44, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So then maybe we should move Ram up? In the following arcs she does do similar roles to Rem did in the first couple.
