Could someone tone down the overdramatic aspects of this article? The influence of certain fictionalized accounts of the Shinsengumi is a little strong... 221.254.245.147 01:32, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Just a little note, the Chinese (simplified) version has a copyright infringement notice on it...

Perhaps someone can add a link (and possibly a short description) of the movie based on the Shinsengumi?

[edit] The word sect
Is the word sect properly used in the article? This word has a strong religious meaning which sounds inappropriate here. alx-pl D 00:16, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- The word "sect" has been changed to "faction". Also, the last sentence of the introduction has been cleaned up.

[edit] RK anime
Scenes from the Ikedaya are NOT shown in the RK anime (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ikedaya_Jiken). Also, since the Shinsengumi WAS a police force, saying that Saito's post-Shinsengumi job was in the Japanese police is like saying that Saito's post-police job was in the police.

[edit] Picture
"Mannequins dressed in Shinsengumi outfits" The mannequins are wearing "Happi" not "Haori". The Shinsengumi Happi is popular souvenir for foreigners in Kyoto and not accurate historical outfit of Shinsengumi. They wore "Haori" not "Happi" --Hskf4 08:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gintama
Please stop adding Gintama to "Depictions in Media."
Gintama's setting is years after the Shinsengumi's era and members of the Shinsengumi aren't in it at all! The characters are very loosely based on the Shinsengumi members but featuring characters based on the Shinsengumi members in the series is not featuring the Shinsengumi members. Such info should be added to the Gintama articles.
Again, the section is "Depictions in Media", not "Shinsengumi Inspired Works." Seven 06:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say that Gintama is a Shinsengumi inspired work instead I would say it features a reimagined Shinsengumi. Kondo, Okita and Saitoh were all members of the real life Shinsengumi and these three are the most prominent Shinsengumi characters in Gintama I think you should seriously give that some thought--Bushido Brown 21:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
-
- Even according to the official information, Gintama is a Shinsengumi inspired work and Gintama's Kondo, Okita and Hijikata were only named after the actual members of the real life Shinsengumi. (Again, they are very loosely based on the Shinsengumi members.)

- This isn't about what I think. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable by a published reliable source. Seven 23:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image
I don't know about anyone else, but I think the main image at the top of the article looks silly. Is there nothing better we can use? Maybe just move an image of one of the statues up? LordAmeth 10:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
