From what I've seen so far, you're watching the subbed anime version. The only issue there is that's kinda... unofficial. In other words, first there's the manga that the author herself writes, then there's the Japanese anime adapted from that, then fansubbers produce a subbed version of the anime (I tend to think of it as a rough draft), then official subbers produce a more polished (and edited) version of the anime. So through all those versions, certain details and names are going to change, possibly more than once. To me what's most important is the content: so long as you get that basically right, the names aren't as important. And anyone that's a fan of anime or manga knows the names can change without warning. No danger of that here since the series is finished, thankfully.

I suggest enjoying your first time through the anime. I think we have the anime pretty well covered as far as episode summaries go. Almost everyone who ever was a regular contributor here at least saw the whole anime. So if we're missing any anime details, it's not because we don't know about it, but because we just never got around to it. It's very unlikely that we need any new pages as far as anime characters are concerned. But I know we can use some more pictures/screencaps here and there.

The anime and manga summaries are basically done except for some name-altering here and there. Where we always ran into trouble was that we didn't have enough people who had read the manga (Kekkaishi was never as popular as Bleach or Naruto, I guess). Manga readers are really the only ones that can fill in the character plots beyond what the anime covers. I practically wrote all of the manga summaries myself with one other person adding title info and pictures. Now it's a matter of going back and adding all the relevant information to individual characters' pages. Which takes a while since I'm the only one doing it.

Also, in the interest of helping people find things, I've been wanting to get categories better organized, which you have a good start on already. But we may actually need a page devoted solely to getting people to where they want to go. Which reminds me: do you not have the drop-down menus at the top of the page that you can mouse over? At least as far as main characters and some concepts, that should show you how we've been spelling them.
