Re do the page

This page could be better. The explanation are too long and we could with some good pictures. And the main picture is... it doesn't explain "Alice Academy".

Page move

I agree with the rename, but isn't there a more proper procedure for renaming articles rather than copy & paste? —Tokek 11:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

That is what the 'move' button is for. However, now there is a history at the other end it probably won't be possible without administrator intervention. Shiroi Hane

Narumi Cleanup

I think the Narumi Section needs a cleanup...cleanups are good.

Other Discussions

I have a question: Isn't Tobita Yuu a female? 67.82.102.128 16:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Nope obviously not... ---203.131.83.36 06:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Bart Simpson is voiced by Nancy Cartwright and Charlie Brown has been voiced by Erin Chase so the practice of using adult women to provide the voices for animated preadolescent boys is not a purely Japanese practice. The problem is that Yuu's voice actress (in the Japanese Anime and not the Animax dub) voices him like a little girl. Given that the character is already somewhat wimpy, this tends to throw off the occasional fan.

Star Ranking

Mikan's Zero-star soup is no doubt miso.

http://en.wikipedia.org/Miso_soup "In Japan, miso soup and white rice make up the traditional Japanese breakfast,"

The Rabbit currency is an invention of the Anime and is not found in the Manga. The conversion factor is one Rabbit = 100 Yen which is about equal to one American dollar. In the Manga the students are issued Yen (at this conversion rate from the amounts listed), which are far more likely to be useful outside the Academy grounds (should they ever escape).

I think that the below information is very illuminating. Could it be moved to the main page, please? I do think further discussion on the Academy itself (the "caste system" (star system), strict segregation from the "outside world", opinion of students from a young age that Alices are superior to others, etc) would also be beneficial...but this is definitely great. :)Jennkei 14:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I thought that Mikan got one bowl of rice with a seewead thingy on top. I don't think she got soup. Are we talking about the anime or manga?68.110.232.148 21:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Shape vs Type of Alice

You are mixing up two different concepts here. Both Natsume and the creator of Mr. Bear have an Alice Shape that drains their own lives, but the other guy isn't a Dangerous Ability Alice.

Also almost any of the Alices can have lethal impacts. (Imagine Mikan nullifying Ruka's Alice while he's being buddies with a dangerous animal.)

I personally favor the Animax dub names for the Alice Types.

Technical Ability: Their creations (robots, drawings, stuffed animals, cooking, chemistry, music, etc.) have strange features.

Latent Ability: Traditional psionic powers. (Reading minds, projecting mental illusions, telekinesis, fortune telling, clairvoyance, teleportation through space, projecting lightning bolts, flight, wall walking, etc.)

Somatic type: Alices that modify the user's own body. (Dog ears, pheromones, controlling other people with your voice, super speed running, etc.)

Special Ability: Alices that don't fit into the above categories. (Teleportation through both space and time, voice power that only causes people to laugh, control of people through their shadows, the ability to project rain, etc.)

Dangerous Ability: An Alice of any of the above types that the facility consider dangerous.

Other than for Meta-Alices (Alices that only work on other Alices), such as Mikan's, the Special Ability class shouldn't exist and Dangerous Ability is more of a social control than a scientific classification.

Alice Shape (or Form) is an entirely different topic.

Every Alice (of whatever class) is of one of four shapes, that specify how much of it can be used and how often.

Childhood Alice: They start out as an Alice but grow up to be an ordinary adult.

Diffuse: The Alice is always available, but at a relatively low power level.

Intermittent: The Alice can only be used for a short period at any time, but at a relatively high power level.

Limitless: The Alice can be used as often and as much as desired, but each use impacts against the user's own life and can kill them if overused.

So Natsume is actually a Limitless Latent Ability Alice of Fire who has been reclassified as Dangerous Ability Alice. (Even though his power is only slightly more dangerous than say Mr. Jinno's.)

Mikan is harder to classify, but I bet her Alice Shape is Diffuse as she doesn't have any problems blocking mind control Alices whenever they are used against her. (She must be using some sort of Alice judo to turn higher power level Alices against themselves so she doesn't have to match the power level of the Alices she defends against.)

Overall Alice power levels seem to be increasing over time, as the student's can generally over match the teachers when they have the same general type of Alice, but this may be due to a limited sample size. (Or perhaps the Academy is breeding up higher Alice power levels to give Japan a WMD program...)

Cleanup

Really, i think this article needs a cleanup...

210.213.159.187---

Edits

I just went and fixed some grammar, as well as fixed some of the wording to look better.

Subcategories

This idea is a bit of expanding as well as cleanup, but rather than just all character descriptions, maybe give simple stats for characters and then have subcatergories for different story arcs, abilities, schools, explanation of the world, etc. -AliceC 06:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the old page was better. I don`t mind the cleanup but what happened to the table?And some of the character's pictures are missing. Could someone restore the table and the char. pics as well?

Thanks RiZius 10:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

New article on characters???

List of Alice Academy characters - What's the point in making a new article? and that article needs a cleanup... 203.131.88.238 01:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

The list is huge, like many anime articles it needs to be split from the main page. --Squilibob 10:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Second Season???

Isn't there going to be a second season? So there would be more than 26 episodes. The second season has been aired in places around the world already.76.160.161.135 12:38, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Obviously no second season.

How do you know? The ending of 26 isn't very good for a wrap up, and there are rumors they will make up to 54 or 56 episodes in all. Also, I have been informed from research that the second season has aired in Japan. It will take a few more months or a year for it to come out in other places.68.110.232.148 00:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

This is only all RUMORS....there is no anime second season release...it is still not confirmed by the author: Tachibana Higuchi & the studio companies: Group TAC & Aniplex...The real thing is..."Gakuen Alice ~Kira Kira Memory Kiss~ was released on 22 June 2006 for the PlayStation 2 in Japan. There is also a Game Boy Advance game that has also only been released in Japan. In April 19, 2007 a Nintendo DS game called Gakuen Alice: Waku Waku Happy Friends was released in Japan"...the manga is still on-going but still no plan for the 2nd season of the anime for this year...Maybe, we still need to wait until 2008 or 2009...hehe - Zerwell 22:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Changing the Main Image

I Think We should change the main image ( the front gates (http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:Gakuen_alice.jpg) ) to a more specific one. For example, the manga cover or the anime logo itself.

-PBCNX 19:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I like the idea of the logo but I don't know what the logo looks like. Replace the gates with the logo if you find a fair use image please. --Squilibob 06:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Please add something about the manga of Gakuen Arisu/Alice Academy!

Why is this article doesn't have anything much about the manga? I checked the Chinese page for Alice Academy and it has even more info than the article in this Misplaced Pages.

Can someone help with this? Also, please add the ISBN for the Japanese version of the manga.

I added some info on alice stone colours in the character's list.

Fair use rationale for Image:Narumi.jpg

Image:Narumi.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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 04:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Added more info about characters in the other page.

I added more info about Subaru Imai and Shuuichi Sakurano. Uploaded a bigger image of the fanbook. hope someone could help more.
