For GA-status:

"Speed Grapher was generally seen as an average anime by reviewers." - What is the source of this statement?
"Zac found the storyline to be "totally silly" though it was possibly very entertaining." - I don't understand this sentence.
"Theron, however, believed the series felt 'more natural'" - What's the point of this "however"?
There's a several international publishers and networks that are only in the infobox. They need to be sourced or removed.
The prose is fine, though most occurences of the word also are superfluous.

As for the future of this article:

The plot summary could use some work as it seems a bit erratic.
Some sort of production information would really be nice.
Japanese reception and reception from print sources should be added at some point.

Mmm, damn that was fast. I've done a few quick tweaks with regards to the GA-status points.

The source of the first statement would be the Reception section; it's a bit WP:OR, but I've seen this frequently in video game GAs. Would you prefer it be changed to something less OR-y?

Yes, it's a common mistake. You can't make a statement as general as that based on a handful of reviews. Good raise 14:55, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone might want to take a look at Fullmetal Alchemist then... Anyway, done. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR _{talk // contribs} 00:03, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The international publishers and networks–should they be mentioned in the "Media" section?

Yes, if you can find sources for them. (Further reading: Template talk:Infobox animanga#Non-English licensors, networks, publishers, and magazines) Good raise 14:55, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added the pertinent info and tweaked the infobox accordingly. I didn't see a complete consensus on removal of non-English licensors, nor do I feel that the infobox's size is an issue in this article and will leave it as-is for now. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR _{talk // contribs} 00:03, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the "future" points:

I'd love for someone else who's watched the series to work on the plot. You know, very well, that I have issues with writing about this one's plot (remember my horrific attempts at the episode list?)
Production information generally doesn't exist (though there are some bits about how the English voice actors were chosen in the English release DVDs) so unless I learn to read Japanese and discover information on the Japanese DVD releases (I'm actually hopeful on this one, though it would necessitate purchasing the DVDs...) a Production section is likely not forthcoming.
Japanese reception and print sources... hmm, if I ever visit Japan or find someone who is willing to look those up for me...

In any event, I highly doubt this will reach Featured level purely because of it's lack of information. Thanks for the review though! ɳOCTURNEɳOIR _{talk // contribs} 04:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm passing this article. Please consider reviewing an article yourself. Good raise 14:33, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
