Overall: Looks good to go, and I prefer the brevity of ALT2 with two small changes: linking to shirikodama (with it piped as "mythical ball") and adding "television" before "series". SounderBruce 00:39, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I've added your suggestions and struck the other hooks. Morgan695 (talk) 00:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
ALT2 is not going to be acceptable because it violates Rule C6, and it just tells the plot. Every creative work has a hooky plot. You could shorten ALT0, or pipe the link in ALT1 as follows:
- ALT1a: ... that Sarazanmai was conceived as a series about supernatural monsters for an adult audience?
- Or you could suggest something else. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:56, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
