I think that's enough because it filters Yuri and Yaoi out of "normal" hentai. I don't disagree with you but can't really say I agree. |

| I recently found out that the DinoZone/DinoZaurs anime series got it's page changed? http://myanimelist.net/anime/3499/DinoZone It's now changed into a 5-episode OVA series. But the actual OVA series is actually 24-episodes. And there's a TV series with 26 episodes (aired 7-2000 - 12-2000) |

| Xadyu, yeah, it was recently changed by me on user request. DinoZone was originally released as a 5-episode OVA series. "TV series with 26 episodes" was actually produced by Sunrise Studio specifically for Western market. It is not included in the database because it doesn't meet the database guidelines. I can't recall all the details, but the same goes for the 24 episode version too. |

Also please remove the synonyms in foreign languages, I'm pretty sure they don't belong here (or at least it's the first time I see that). http://myanimelist.net/anime/5098/Andersen_Monogatari:_Match_Uri_no_Shoujo I don't see why there's a subtitle when the Japanese name in the entry does not contain it (and neither does the title on the image). Please remove it. Also please remove the synonym "Anderson Monogatari Movie" which is a meaningless distinction and is misspelled. |

They are released on DVD by independent organization and is Japanese animation, and there are other such entries on the site, but I guess this is a bit more abstract. http://homepage3.nifty.com/maya_y/Site/works.html |

Kineta said: I believe someone asked why we then have multiple movie entries for franchises. This comes from the rule: "Theatrical releases will have separate entries unless all chapters are aired together." The purpose of this rule is partially to allow users to set these movies as completed between chapters (much like the split cour TV series rule). Imagine if the Eva movies were all together in one entry: users would have the entry stuck on their lists as "Currently Airing" for 7+ years, with 2-3 year gaps of no new episodes. Aside from this, movies are a bit special in terms of release method, which also gives rise to a special rule for compiled theatrical versions to receive additional entries. We aren't looking down on one-shots or shorts (there are many shorts in the DB with individual entries). We're simply trying to manage the database in an effective manner which lies somewhere in the middle ground between the aforementioned two opposing user views. So what about this? http://myanimelist.net/anime/7616/Michi 2002 to 2008 and grouped in the same entry... why? because it's not "theatrical release", it's short experimental films. Maybe you don't consciously "look down" on shorts, but in treating shorts differently than mainstream releases it still creates the issues you think you are averting. I can see where you're coming from but trying to sort shorts as releases or collections just makes no sense when you look at outliers like this and how much of it comes down to individual interpretation. In the end I think it'd make more sense to just accept that they are individual titles and stop catering to people too lazy to look them up. The "user view" thing is just deferring responsibility to the user base, but that shouldn't happen since you don't compromise for other releases, there's no set of rules that can categorize all shorts appropriately, so it's needlessly complicating things for the sake of artificially decreasing the number of entries. |

It's weird that the official site has changed it now. ( ツ) chinese cartoons Well it's written with ポ, obviously if it were Poulette it would be プ. Why would it have been プ? That's romanized to "pu". ポ is romanized to "po" which fits the Po in Poulette. Hence why it's used in spelling for Polle a municipality in Germany, Poljot the Russian watch brand, for the Polesine Parmense and Polesella in Italy, for polenta the food, and for Polessk the Russian town. Granted it is also what's used to spell the man's name "Paul" (ポール). But if it was the feminine version of Paul (Paulette), shouldn't it have been spelled ポーレット? Because googling ポーレット brings up famous people named Paulette. And even a restaurant in Japan. http://bistrot-paulette.jimdo.com/ ポレット only brings up the anime and some filter ventilation cover thingie. |

| I made a thread back questioning the MC list for the Akame ga Kill anime. It seems I wasn't in the wrong doing so with it deciding to stray from the manga and do its own ending. Please do one of the following: 1. Remove Mine as a MC from the anime as her value is no more than any other of the Night Raid characters. 2. Make the other Night Raid characters that have just as much meaning as her MC's. If you're up to date with the anime, you should understand. |

| http://myanimelist.net/anime/22297/Fate/stay_night:_Unlimited_Blade_Works_(TV)/ I was wondering whether the "mystery" genre should be added or not. Since in the first few episodes, it isn't known which servant belongs to which who. We're on episode 7 (8 if you count episode 00) and all of the masters still aren't known. Archer's past/identity is a mystery (Saber's as well, unless you've read/seen F/Z), one of the main mysteries of UBW actually. Sakura being seen with Gilgamesh and whatever they have to do with each other is a mystery. Also what happened 10 years ago, when Shirou was rescued by Emiya Kiritsugu. Also a mystery (unless you've read/seen F/Z). Would the mystery genre be appropriate for this show? |

| http://myanimelist.net/anime/1531/Shakugan_no_Shana_Special:_Koi_to_Onsen_no_Kougai_Gakushuu! Type should be OVA. It was released by itself and not as a part of the main series. Sauce: http://www.shakugan.com/contents/hp0017/index02880000.htmlJ.C.Staff Can you please add this under More Info as well: The events of the OVA take place after the 13th episode of the first season. There is a special included as well titled: Naze nani Shana! Tokubetsu-hen (なぜなにシャナ!特別編) OVA SP: Marianne's Exploration of J.C.Staff (マリアンヌのJ.C.STAFF探訪) It starts out like a regular Naze Nani Shana special but after the introduction it becomes live action and you are shown a tour of J.C.Staff during Shakugan no Shana's production. PLEASE READ THE BELOW ALL THE WAY THROUGH DUE TO SOME BACKTRACKING http://myanimelist.net/anime/3956/Shakugan_no_Shana_II_Specials The 3rd special here is also DVD magazine exclusive. I think it should have its own entry as an OVA since the first 2 are specials included on the DVD release of the main anime. It was released a year and a half after special #2 so it doesn't quite fit together. Sauce: http://dengekibunko.dengeki.com/newreleases/978-4-04-868122-3/ And also because there are 3 episodes in conjunction with the 1st season that got released on a DVD magazine as well that I just submitted to the database. They're part of the same Dengeki Bunko DVD magazine line. Same issue here: http://myanimelist.net/anime/1066/Shakugan_no_Shana_Specials The "Itadaki no Hecate-tan" (aka "Master Throne Hecatetan") episode is a magazine exclusive of my new entry: http://myanimelist.net/anime/28603 I fudged up, the new entry should list 4 eps with a 00:06:54 duration. I completely forgot about that episode. Please add the ep title so the More Info section too. And "Itadaki no Hecate-tan" should be transferred as a synonym. Anyway, now that means the original #1066 anime entry should be 2 eps that end on May 23, 2008. Since I jumped the gun on making the new entry, the current title doesn't reflect all 4 eps as Itadaki no Hecate-tan is not a part of the Naze Nani Shana trio. So I guess naming the entry after the magazine the 4 were in would be better? "Anime "Shakugan no Shana" no Subete" (アニメ『灼眼のシャナ』ノ全テ) And back to Shakugan no Shana II Specials where I wanted that 3rd ep split. Since it's the same should it also be named after its magazine? "Anime "Shakugan no Shana II" no Subete" (アニメ『灼眼のシャナII』ノ全テ) At least the both of them will match that way. |

| ap19, abystoma2, Each episode released in the Nihon Animator Mihonichi block does stand out indeed, but based mostly on the weekly release schedule, same producer/studio for all works, episodes being numbered and so on, it is considered an ONA series, and will stay merged. Anime Mirai works might be merged in the future as well, as they should have been included in one entry from the beginning anyway, but at that time the nature of the project wasn't known well. I apologize for the inconvenience it might cause you guys. abystoma2 > http://myanimeshelf.com/anime/10741_Bouken_Shitemoii_Goro does this count?

I'm going to be stubborn about this. The first year of Anime Mirai was called the Wakate Animator Ikusei Project A and didn't have the name Anime Mirai until the second year. The original homepage for the first year still exists. Moreover, the works in this project aren't done by the same producer/studio and aren't numbered either. In addition, the works for the Wakate Animator Ikusei Project were merged on MAL, but then got split later (I don't recall if I was involved or not though), so I was hoping Nihon Animator Mihonichi would be treated in the same manner. In short, please don't merge the Anime Mirai works. It's not written on the first post or on the DB guidelines about how MAL treats a case like Anime Mirai or Nihon Animator Mihonichi. At least for Anime Mirai, one can say each individual work has its own commercial right that is separate from each other, in the manner that Little Witch Academia sold its own blu-ray. Then again, you have works like Kara no Kyoukai and Gundam UC, which are composed entirely of the same background, yet each movie has its own entry. These are numbered too, mind, yet they too were also intentionally split on MAL after several requests regarding this kind of release scheme. Short Peace is also another project where each individual work has its own entry. "same producer/studio for all works, episodes being numbered" are not valid reasons from these examples, and I believe "weekly schedule" is too weak as a reason for keeping these works merged given how there are splits works being aired within the same OP and ED/credits (Short Peace) as well as merged works that are aired at a radical pace (Bakemonogatari, Madoka, Oreimo specials). In other words, Leknaat has not provided enough valid reasoning behind why Nihon Animator Mihonichi is, as far as I know, the only entry that shouldn't be split, for the sake of a non-existent rule of classification instead of user convenience. Not that it matters, but the Bouken bit wasn't me but abystoma2. My question was resolved by Kineta on the MAL IRC. From Kineta's post here, I suppose each year of Anime Mirai should be split while the works within the same year/airing should be merged, and Short Peace should be merged, in order to keep things consistent. I can't say I like the idea of keeping Nihon Animator Mihonichi together (primarily for scoring, but also for respecting each individual work), but if there really are users who think it should remain merged in addition to the cluttering database problem, then I suppose my own opinion isn't of much use here. |

| I don't see the problem, I already mentioned a couple examples couple pages ago that are the same as this one, if they are released on a certain schedule, have about the same lenght, same producer, etc then they should be in one entry, Anime Mirai shouldn't be merged because nothing is consistent from entry to entry. Regarding Bake, I imagine it wasn't split because it kept the title, had the title for the series changed it'd have probably gotten another entry, the names you see in NAM's description are like episode names, not different projects. |

| ap19, sorry about the bouken part. Corrected. Anime Mirai entries aside for now this seems to become a bigger issue in general, as more and more such works are released. As you've mentioned, DB guidelines doesn't cover everything and should be updated and expanded. But that's not an easy task. You might want to read this recent post by Kineta that elaborates a bit more on the challenges we are facing. There also could be a separate discussion for Nihon Animator Mihonichi case, although it's pretty clear that users would choose convinience over keeping the entries tight, giving the chance to voice different opinions might lead to a consensus. Edit: That's fine, i guess. :) |
