@Kamakou: interesting article, my review's below - ping me when you get a chance to make the updates, you've got seven days. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 21:21, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, grammar, and understandability): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, lists, and tables):

   Present tense appears to have slipped outside plot in areas - plot should be all narrative present but other past stuff is in past. Other than that, prose is solid.

   Fixed most cases of present tense that I could find. Per MOS:BLPTENSE, the historical present should be kept for lasting materials like the SFE and Arana Blas' published book. The statements of other analysts in the analysis section have been changed to past tense since they were writing for news-like publications.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.

   a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   No uncited passages and very solid sources. Only 11% similarity. Spotcheck was clean.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   have you taken a look at the refs on the talk page? not sure if they're relevant, but take a look. it doesn't wander.

   First, second, and fourth refs were reviews that were made before the show finished airing, so I think they're less preferable compared to post-hoc reviews. Third ref sadly doesn't go into the production process much; the voice actresses only react to a mid-season episode and talk about their predictions for their characters. Fifth ref is a short blurb that parrots a ref already made in the article. Sixth ref doesn't go into any detail about the series. Seventh ref is a nice detailed review, so I've added that one!

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   the howevers in reception are pitting the reviewers against themselves, which is fine but needs to be reworded a bit.

   Reworded.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   No signs of instability.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions and alt text):

   Relevant images, actually less fair-use more free-use than I expected, and good captions. No alt text, though.

   Added alt text.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

@Jishara: Thank you so much for starting the review! I think I've addressed all the points, you can read it over again when you have the chance. Kamakou (talk) 02:21, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

@Kamakou: Sounds great - two notes - I feel like the voice actresses' predictions could be relevant if you want to include that, but that's not required. I do think you need some during-show reviews, specifically because this one apparently fell off a cliff in quality midway, so I'd ask you include a bit of that to see the assessment pre-the quality change.

• ... that composers for the anime series Flip Flappers brought on throat singers and a didgeridoo while recording the soundtrack?

• Source: "たまたまホーメイの人が知り合いでして、そのふたりを呼びました。押山清高監督が [...] 自分で口琴を入れたりとか「これにはディジュリドゥ（オーストラリア大陸の先住民・アボリジニの管楽器）を入れてほしい」とお願いされたりしましたね。"

"I happened to know some people who did khoomei throat singing, so I called the two of them over. Director Oshiyama [...] personally added a jaw harp, and asked us to include a didgeridoo (a wind instrument used by Aboriginal Australians) at a certain point."
