Talk:Robin Hood (1990 TV series)

Co-production

@Vaati the Wind Demon: The Tatsunoko site gives no indication that it is a co-production with an Italian company. The only production credits given are NHK, NEP (NHK Enterprises), and Tatsunoko Pro. You gave this page as proof of the co-production, but anyone who licenses the series and creates a localized version of it would have to list Tatsunoko as a co-producer since they produced all the animation. We do not list the show as a co-production in cases like this as it was simply licensed for airing in Italy. Please provide some actual proof that Mondo co-produced the original series, and didn't simply license it and produce a localized version. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 08:00, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, I just watched the opening and ending credits for the series and Mondo is not mentioned anywhere in them. For anything. It is highly unusual for NHK to produce an animated series in cooperation with a non-Japanese company (not that it hasn't happened, just that it is very rare). Unless you can provide something more than a passing mention on Mondo's site where they claim to have co-produced it, I will be removing that information again. The burden is on you to prove it belongs there, especially in the face of overwhelming evidence that Mondo had nothing to do with the original production. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 08:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: Here are the English Credits, it still lists Ippei Kuri as the Author, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsIYpwDl1go. Plus while watching the series, both Japanese and English, I noticed that the Japanese had updated scenes and refurbished animations, episode 26 shows this the most IMO. English Episode 26; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU3WJ5OUpS4 and Japanese Episode 26; http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/4E0MIvLQMxg. --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 13:20, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Ippei Kuri is a Japanese animation producer who works/worked with Tatsunoko Pro. What does that have to do with Mondo? You are insisting that this page show it was a co-production originally, so please provide definitive proof of that. If they aren't being listed in the OP or ED credits, they didn't produce it. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 15:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't see how the Official Company's Website who claims to have co-produced the series isn't enough to be claimed as a reliable source, it came straight from the official website's mouth. It was listed in the credits, did you not see the credits link I posted? If that's not enough proof, I'm outta idears, you can remove it if you want, that's all the proof I can find for now. I'll have to do some extensive digging in different languages. I can understand some Japanese, but not professionally! --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 17:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Since the series was originally produced in Japanese, those are the credits which count. The English-language (or other language) credits will of course list the English (or other language) production company in addition to the original Japanese production company. We don't list the company that licensed the series as a co-producer. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:49, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
