@Akarin Done again, save for the Show by Rock franchise. I think it's like that because of how the titles appear on its logo, but I'll leave it up to a senior mod.

If you open the link I provided, you will notice that three of show by rock entries use capitalization, and the other two don't. There should be a consistency here. Yes, it is capitalized on the logo, so it should be "By" most probably.

Why is this in the database? There's no new content at all. Condensed TV broadcasts and rebroadcasts have been denied time and time again (the rebroadcast of Psycho-Pass comes to mind). Things need new footage to count as separate entries, not just a different airing format.

Same with this one, maybe: http://myanimelist.net/anime/32792/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_Unicorn_RE_0096. It's a TV version of http://myanimelist.net/anime/6336/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_Unicorn. Dunno if there's any new footage though.

It may not be as prominent as other shows with the tag, but Fairy Tail definitely has its fair share of ecchi moments, and I feel like it should have the tag. Also worth pointing out that the manga actually has the tag itself.

Or maybe [s1] Nisekoi: False Love and then [s2] Nisekoi: False Love 2

Also, why doesn't Hikaru no Go have Sports as its genre? I understand that it already has Game but isn't Go - similarly to chess - a sport as well? Chihayafuru also has both Sports and Game as a genre.

Request to split this show into 2 entries:

A third season is coming in June:
http://tech.xinmin.cn/internet/2016/05/31/30107807.html

Yes, it is referred to as the 3rd season and not the second. Rather, Episodes 14-27 are referred to as the 2nd season in most sources.
http://baike.baidu.com/subview/9363221/17967317.htm

-snip-

Comparing the logo of the show in the openings, in the second one starting from the 14th Episode, the subtitle "Wangquan Fugui" appears, distincting it from Episodes 1 to 13 which lacked said subtitle.

Thanks for the information regarding the subtitle! I will update this one later to have split seasons. Do you by any chance have the correct characters for the subtitle as well? Are you aware if the third season has a new subtitle? Any help would be appreciated!


Yes, the subtitle for the second season is the name of the character the arc is focusing on 王权富贵 "Wangquan Fugui".

As for the third season, according to this video: https://youtu.be/KOrQ129Ip0k
The subtitle (in the little red mark next to the title) is 月红 "Yue Hong". Which seems to be a portmanteau of two characters names.

anikore.jp lists furigana for anime.
https://www.anikore.jp/anime/6931/
So it's "enka".
It's great for just knowing stuff like in High School DxD the "x" is silent or that Galaxy Express 999, the 999 is pronounced "three nine".
That enka anime should get a new pic, the current one is of the manga's cover.

I also found that page on anikore but I wonder if it can be trusted. They don't seem to list their sources of information. And a few (smaller) sites seem to write おんか. To me "enka" makes more sense because it kind of seems like they were going for a play on words, but who knows.

I believe the main title should be
Bonobono (TV 2016)
the movie was the original item so any TV series of the same name must have TV in parenthesis. And since this is the second TV series made with the same title it now must carry the year in its parenthesis in addition. This combo indicates that this is the 3rd version/remake of Bonobono made.

Thanks to everyone for your input! I've done the following. (Note: Changes may take a bit to show up in the database.)

@kuchitsu - Karura Mau title change
@lanblade - Karura Mau image change
@GFearJ - The second and third seasons have been added. Thanks for your help with the subtitles!
@Zazie122 - After some discussion, it was determined that Momokuri (TV) will be removed from the database. That should happen soon.

That's a good point on the Bonobono entry. I'll run it by a senior mod. The "to-do list" I made in my last post will be handled shortly as well.

Late reply, but unfortunately no, so you have to check the entry every once in a while. This can be rather problematic when you request a bunch of edits, like I tend to edit plenty of broadcasting times, producers, licensors, and sometimes backgrounds, and it can be hard to remember all of that. I keep a list in Notepad of changes I make and later check to see if they eventually go through, if not, well time to request the change again or bring it up here. That's all I can recommend, listing what changes you requested, and checking back every once in a while.

Anyway, I see many background changes I requested finally got added (I recall those being Escaflowne, Date A Live, Kaleido Star, Samurai Champloo, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, and maybe some I forgot), even if they got reworked, but it was for the best from what I saw. One that needs some more editing is Samurai Champloo's. Broken BB code is visible.
including Samurai Champloo[/i].
Also to bring this up from the old thread... (Can't remember if I later requested an actual edit to the Background)
BigOnAnime said:
The "Background" for Trigun needs to be re-worded quite a bit. First off, here's this outdated bit via the encyclopedia entry for the show on ANN.
The intial region 1 version of Trigun released by Pioneer/Geneon (original Pioneer and Geneon Signature Series) did not include unique opening animations for each episode as did the Japanese release of the series. The first episode's opening animation was used for the entire series in the US domestic release, while normally, the opening animation highligted characters present in the particular episode that was playing. Geneon's latest release of Trigun (Limited Collector's Sets 1 & 2) has restored each unique opening animation to its original state.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=88
(Why I said outdated is the Remix singles were the final release, and also they don't mention FUNimation)

The show was originally released by Geneon Entertainment USA (back then they were known as Pioneer) and they slapped the English credits on the only clean opening the licensor provided them, hence why they used that on every episode. Their VHS tapes, original singles, the Geneon Signature Series singles, and first box set release (which just put all 8 singles into an artbox) used only the first opening on all the episodes. Geneon fixed that mistake when they re-released the show in two Limited Edition tins, and later when they put out the Remix singles (which re-used the discs from the tins).

When FUNimation got the show, with the first release, they repeated Geneon's mistake of using only the first opening instead of just simply rolling the OP's as-is, and then rolling the translated credits later (basically what Sentai is known for with their releases, the black credits screen at the end of each episode). They fixed this mistake when they put out the Anime Classics release.

Also, Victor Entertainment is who put out the DVD's (the DVD's didn't hit until 2004 it seems), VHS tapes, and laserdiscs for the series in Japan, not Geneon Japan (back then known as Pioneer as it would be years before this happened (read the "about")).

So simply, the Japanese release had unique openings for each episode while the initial Geneon and FUNimation releases didn't, but their final releases did.

Tide-Line Blue's runtime needs to be edited. I requested quite a while ago to change it from 20 minutes to like 23 minutes and it seemed to get rejected, meanwhile the special got its runtime modified after I requested a change. For proof that each episode is longer than 20 minutes, here's a screenshot I took right before the show expired from Hulu (I didn't have the time to get all the runtimes down). Note that the logos (Just Bandai Visual's) and everything took up about 5 seconds per episode.

Bringing this entry up again. As @Paulo27 said earlier, these two episodes aired in theaters WITH the Fw:Hamatora movie. Like some of the manner movies we have in the DB already. The current air date listed right now is of the Fw: Hamatora film. The two episodes were then later shown on TV which is what the background info covers.
We weren't 100% sure if they actually did air in theaters before but the DVD description of the Mini Hama collective confirms that they actually did.

I doubt there was another recap release like this. Or rather, I doubt anyone would have bought a physical release if there was going to be a digital one for free on the same day.
That means this is an ONA.
Also that means there is a version 1

I read a few pages ago about Sakamoto desu Ga - because I had been wondering why the episode number is still "?" and not 13. Some news already spoke of "episode 13" that probably won't get aired. But I think there doesn't neet to be a "special" for episode 13.

You can just set the main entry to 13. Since they intended to broadcast it at first. It belongs to the series and was not intended to be some special.

If this were some series with a story/plot and not episodical then it probably would end the story (vs. some specials that usually only are beach/fanservice episodes).

Katanagatari isn't a romance. It barely even has romantic subtext. If a tsundere girl working alongside a short-tempered guy were to invoke the 'Romance' genre, half of our database would be tagged as such.

@Luthandorius I agree with your sentiment, but it's not the way we do things around here.

If you say so, though it seemed a lot more than what you described, when I watched it.

Then you need to change the way you do things. I think less database entries are better. More order. aniDB goes even further. Afaik they have more things listed at the main anime pages and just list specials there as "special" without making a whole new entry in the database. (Where here I suggested it only for this special case.)

But I think this discussion might be better suited for a suggestion thread then. But it seems MAL wants to stay with old/bad systems (there also have been a lot of suggestions regarding the genre system and how to improve it and not many team members answered there).

Really? I used to receive PMs regarding my edits (2014) before.
Maybe the mods gotten lazy busy now?
I've never been notified before about my requested edits, but then again, I only started editing the database a few months ago.

What are those edits? On the anime/manga/character/people pages or modification request, like this?
You should get notification/PM on those edits, if it's approved or not, unless the system was changed this year.

I tend to deal with just broadcasting times, background, producers, source, and episodes (usually adding for entries that are completely missing them) on the anime pages. I've also made a few external links and other requests in this thread and the previous one, but still have never been notified on if anything was approved or not. The vast majority of my requested edits go through though, even a few mistakes I made (which I later tried to correct). I've made hundreds of requested edits at this point. Ex: Getting Geneon USA attached to these (MAL confused Geneon Japan with Geneon USA for a very long time) was 99% me.

I mean you will get PM for the your requested available edits on the pages itself.
If it's just on threads like this you won't get nothing, but a least a post confirming it was been made or not.
But the problem with the PMs I got before was I forgot what was those edits I made. Like this:

I submitted a removal of Ghibli as a producer. But the studio that needs to be put in is not in the database. It's Studio Ponoc, founded by ex-Ghibli producer Yoshiaki Nishimura.
The video itself has the studio's watermark on it.

Swap the fantasy genre for supernatural.
Half of the cast are ghosts girls from WW2. They time travel by making a connection with a living human by using spiritual energy/"the power of life".

http://myanimelist.net/anime/689/Uta_Kata_Special
-genre: school, fantasy
It's summer vacation so she doesn't go there. The show takes place on regular Earth and she gets magical powers so Magic covers everything already. In the Special it's winter vacation so still no school.

+genre: psychological
This is a lot like Madoka Magica precursor. The girl and the people she interacts with have a lot of issues ranging from being assaulted, child rape, adultery, etc. that she either finds out via the use of magic or requires magic to get out of the situation. Later on in the series she can't handle her emotions and uses the magic to harm others and her friends--it's like a beast that swallows her and she mentally breaks down afterwards each time. It accumulates in the finale where she has to choose between destroying humanity or suicide after finding out the the magic spirits are virtues and vices and the only reason she was born was because a spirit wanted a new test subject (indicating they've been doing it for years so who knows how many hundreds of kids have chosen "suicide" since humanity is still around).
Also the title has in it between uta and kata. It seems to act like all those anime that have the star symbol in the middle of a title.

+genre: shoujo
I believe there was a discussion a long time about about Zero-Sum and the decision was that because the magazine targets both shoujo and josei (as listed on their own site)--anime adaptations will always have the shoujo tag as a lowest common denominator since the mag itself doesn't label which story is which (which is why 07-Ghost and Karneval are shoujo) and that anime adaptations would most likely be aimed at the broader audience (aka shoujo) anyway since josei doesn't bring in as much $$$. Or something like that.


Bump. It should have its Josei tag changed to shoujo. All the others were except for this one.

Does anyone know an easy way to romanize titles to MAL's standard? I just added the episodes for Najica Blitz Tactics and I didn't have proper romanization. Normally I add episodes using AniDB, copying and pasting their titles and airing date, and then using Wikipedia/FUNi/CR for synopsises. However for Najica, they didn't have any romanized titles.

If anyone can romanize the titles, that would be great too.

It's different when it's already English/Romaji rather than kana.

I know it's not approved yet, but:
1. We don't know what type of adaptation it is, so type should be blank.
2. Dunno if both the Negima! series and anime final should be in relations.
