Talk:Stellvia

"Universe" is a possible translation of "uchuu", but it's usually the wrong one; "space" would be better.

Maybe, but it's better known by the fans as "Stellvia of the Universe": Google reports 378,000 hits.

Since there is no official translation of the full title - in the US is it simply called Stellvia - would it not be better the name the article just 'Stellvia' as well? Shiroi Hane 03:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC) Reply

Is there any opposition to moving this article to Stellvia? Shiroi Hane 15:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC) Reply

I agree; there is some precedent for this once a title is officially released in English. I say move to Stellvia and change the beginning of the text to Stellvia (宇宙のステルヴィア, Stellvia of the Universe) is an anime series... --Patrick Bernier 14:50, 28 December 2005 (UTC) Reply

Uhhh, I wouldn't call over 300 years to be anywhere near the "near future" timeframe. Heck, that's the same time period Star Trek: The Next Generation is supposed to take place! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.10.235 (talk • contribs)

The 'Hydrus Beta' name for the supernova is a translation error- they kept the name in its Japanese form. In English it should be Beta Hydri. Is it alright to change so that the link to the real star can be used? CFLeon 00:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC) Reply

I was thinking the same thing when watching the series, but it may still be a fictional star. Technically, Beta Hydri is not a star in a class that normally goes supernova, since it's very similar to our sun. (Unless the aliens caused it to explode in that manner somehow). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.19.140.9 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC-7)

It's the same star, and there's a reason it went supernova while being an "ordinary" star. I've seen the series and can answer why if you'd like, though it's a fairly large spoiler. ~Kylu (u|t) 22:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC) Reply

There are, in Stellvia, four basic "issues" that Mankind has to deal with:

1. The primary, energy, part of the Hydrus Beta supernova. Mankind was neither expecting nor prepared for this, and was decimated as a result. Another disaster would wipe out the race entirely.
2. The secondary part of the supernova, chunks of slower-moving matter comes around 200 years after the primary wave of disaster. In the years in between, all of humanity has been focused on one task: Saving Earth from this disaster.
3. Another "problem" is the aliens who seem to be curious about humanity and its plight, though at various stages it appears that they are hindering humanity's struggle against the final threat:
4. A cosmic string, which turns out to be the actual reason for the destruction of Hydrus Beta. It disrupted the star, causing its supernova, and followed the gravity wells towards the next convenient star in its path: the Sun. Humanity's continued survival now depends on the ability to somehow destroy the cosmic string.

Even if it's a spoiler, you'll still like watching the series. ~Kylu (u|t) 00:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Reply

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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

I discovered the series in 2020 on Amazon Prime UK. Presumably it's available via AP worldwide, though I don't have any information as to when it was added. Is inclusion on Amazon Prime notable? Lee M (talk) 05:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC) Reply

Since the above the show has become pay-only on Prime. That's an infuriating habit they have. Lee M (talk) 03:58, 7 September 2021 (UTC) Reply

User:Northern_Moonlight Removed for copyright? Two paragraphs from a blog post are not fair use?
