It's a doujinshi that doesn't meet the database qualifications.

I don't know if I agree with that. I checked the guide and there's nothing in the guide indicating that the series shouldn't be listed as a full series. As a matter of fact, the guide specifically says episode count or airing count is used as the source for episode count. Gonna bump my request for a DB moderator to review this one.

Two OVAs released between the first and second seasons. First season and first OVA was AIC, second season and second OVA was Xebec. The two OVAs were released much closer to their studio's season than to each other.

In conclusion, either:
1.) Add AIC as another studio
2.) Separate the entry into two different ones, one for each episode (like ANN does: 1st one, 2nd one)

http://myanimelist.net/anime/24655/Date_A_Live_Movie__Mayuri_Judgment
-genre: school, comedy
They don't actually go school in the film. I really think comedy is muted in the film compared to the TV series. The first 45 of the film is the MC going on a date with each girl taking turns. So it's super romancey with minor comedy effects that a harem genre would already account for (each girl tries her best to make it the best date possible and not everything goes smoothly so we have a slight chuckle when say the restaurant she wanted to go to closed down and became a ramen shop). Then the last part of the movie is the actual interaction with Mayuri with regular drama crap, battling, and goodbyes.

+genre: harem, scifi
Like the original TV anime.

I don't believe the use of the mecha genre in the entire franchise is proper. As in, I don't recall there being actual mechas. The LIVE girls are aliens from another dimension with power suit like abilities which scifi already covers. And the JGSDF's anti-spirit team girls who fight the LIVE girls have powersuits themselves (which look similar to the LIVE girls outfits with a ton of flesh exposed) once again is covered by the scifi genre.

Also the movie's age rating can be bumped down to G as that's the official Eirin rating
http://www.eirin.jp/list/index.php?title=%E3%83%87%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BB%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96&eirin_no=&s_year=&s_month=&e_year=&e_month=&x=0&y=0
Nothing really violent nor ecchi happens in the film. It's the most kosher thing in the franchise.

This one is an oddball entry. It has a somewhat complicated history, having been absent from the original Japanese theatrical run and then apparently included in future releases of the first film... on some television airings, anyway. We are looking into it.

Aha, gotcha. I'd say that makes it eligible for the database. My bad, for some reason I thought it was a dub-only thing.

I have added adventure. I have left off the shounen tag because the property is an original work. Demographics are applied to adapted material (ex, manga to anime), since they run in magazines with specific demographics.


The first 9 are included at the end of episodes. The latter 6 were specials included in home releases. As such, the article encompasses only the specials.

You guys changed the duration to 31 seconds, I can't confirm if it exists or not but I guess someone did and I guess it doesn't, even if these 31 seconds were for what was shown in the theaters (in the case it was a manner movie or something), it was still posted online earlier so it'd be ONA and the date should also be changed to match that.

Apparently there was also meant to be an event for it this week, no idea if there was more shown there though.

Actually this might be a real location and the that PV might just be an ad?

The theatrical short was set to air as a double feature with the Kara no Kyoukai film. It's supposedly a different entity from the actual ufotable cafes:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-05-03/fate/zero-cafe-sd-4-panel-manga-film-adaptation-listed

The PV was uploaded before the theatrical release, but articles seem to treat it as just a public PV:
http://animeanime.jp/article/2013/07/08/14726.html

The ufotable store apparently sold copies with the PV, but not any full-length short. Some articles claim it was about 10 minutes long, but they were written before the airdate. As for the recent event, it appeared there may have been another Fate/Zero Cafe short shown on March 19. I'll do some more digging.

This was denied for awhile, but after some discussion it will remain in the database. Based on academic texts, the film was produced by a (unknown) company and possibly mass-produced. It would thus not be considered a doujin.

Since the Japanese titles all include Gekijouban Bleach in them, then they should be numbered as how several in database do, as the reasoning for why the One Piece films aren't numbered is because some are Eiga rather than Gekijouban.

Also bringing this in here as I see nothing was ever done (didn't even get any replies), the request to add these producers. This would really help make the database far more accurate.
BigOnAnime said:
Geneon Entertainment USA-This is a bit of a mess because no one bothered to back in the day do Geneon USA and Geneon Japan (later Geneon Universal, now NBCUniveral Entertainment Japan, they're separate entries which is fine), they just had one single company put down. This causes a problem on the shows where Geneon USA was the licensor, but Geneon Japan was also a producer on the show's production committee. So you have a producer listed as only the licensor on various entries. I know it would be a lot of work to fix this, but it would lead to a more accurate database.

Warner Bros. USA-This is a similar situation as the above, but not as severe. Warner Bros. Japan has been involved with anime production for a couple years now, but their parent, WB has licensed multiple series in the past. For example, they're the ones that put out JoJo S1 on DVD. VIZ Media wasn't involved with that release whatsoever. It's currently impossible to list WB as a licensor for JoJo S1 because the Japanese WB is involved in the production, and there's no separate entry for their US parent company.

These next two I mentioned in another thread, but I'll mention them again.

Overlap-They're the current publisher of the IS: Infinte Stratos light novels and are on the production committee for IS: Infinite Stratos 2. They're also bound to be on other production committees in the future.

Bandai Visual USA-They're dead, but they should still be added considering we have other defunct companies listed, including Kadokawa Pictures USA who also didn't do THAT much.

Anyway, it's still 22 songs, not 26. The other 4 are just bonus-tracks. 15 are the main story, and additional 7 are sort of add-ons/side-stories.

Almost every anime/manga site will use an abbreviated version of the title for the URL, and regardless of the branding, the titles of the anime/manga/games are ポケットモンスター (Pocket Monsters) and are still referred to as such with a simple look into the actual entries on the site. MAL uses a database viewpoint at the entries, so despite every person referring to the series as Pokemon both internationally and in Japan, when listed in JP news sites and wikis, the official title will be used and should be followed here. There's a reason for the synonyms section for entries, which are most often for popular abbreviations and acronyms like in this situation.

Like I said the site not using the Japanese name, but the most common name. Its even stated in a guideline or whatever somewhere.
Thats the exact reason why FMA is not "Hagane no Renkinjutsushi" eighter.
Pretty sure these are just exceptions.

Probably, but these names are already soaked in, and I don't think renameing these would do any good.

No, FMA uses Fullmetal Alchemist because it's in the Japanese logo, not because it's most common



Same explanation for why Detective Conan and Neon Genesis Evangelion don't use the Japanese title.

If there is an English subtitle, then MAL uses it as the name entry.

This doesn't apply to Pokemon because its subtitle is Pocket Monsters, not Pokemon.

Did you just make this up? Because this is so not true.

What is your explanation for those examples then? Because this is the pattern that those seem to follow, it definitely isn't due to what the most popular name is, I know that for a fact.

The title change has been requested a few times for them in the past, but moderators always use an excuse like "we'll wait until there's a feature to switch between romaji/english titles".

Seems like a petty excuse, it should still be changed regardless of what they 'might' implement in the future. Otherwise they just confuse people by having inconsistencies in the naming of titles.

There's tons of it between main characters. Heck two of the girl's were engaged by their parents in childhood. It's very plain and easy to see.
