8 years ago, when Anime-Planet was created, its main purpose was solely an informational database - no user accounts outside of the forum or personal anime/manga lists existed yet. Given how bad information on all of the other anime databases tends to be (copied from other sites, spoilers, synopses based on one episode, blank info, etc), one of my founding principles has always been to only put up a series if we had personally submitted information - this way, people could trust that if they find something here, it has info they'd care about.
However, given the addition of personal lists in the last few years, not having series info up isn't a good option for people who want to complete their lists. About a year ago, I started adding brand new season entries, even though they were blank, with the understanding that the info would be added quickly. To this date, that's been a success - we are only missing info on a few titles from the last year.
Given more and more people have come to rely on Anime-Planet for their anime and manga lists, I've decided to loosen the principle even more and start allowing more blank entries.
Starting now, I'll begin adding placeholder entries for any missing anime or manga that is readily available. What this means is that if at least a few episodes of the series is subtitled (ie, if someone wanted to, they could submit the information), I'll add it. At the moment I will continue to not add a very select niche of titles - ones that are totally unavailable period - but likely will eventually cave on that too.
In addition to blank titles, it will now be possible to add synopses but not screens (or vice versa) for 'blank' titles.
Hopefully this will help satisfy everyone who wants a complete list (by having blank titles), while still ensuring AP's info is always high quality and unique (by only putting info up once we get personally written/created info).
If you can, please start to list titles to add in this thread.
DO NOT LIST DVD SPECIALS FOR NOW, OR FALL 09 SERIES
PLEASE INCLUDE THE TITLE, AND THE ANN LINK
PLEASE ONLY INCLUDE NAMES FOR THINGS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE SUBBED EPISODES AVAILABLE
PLEASE DON'T LIST MANGA YET - THOSE ARE EASIER FOR ME TO DO
Thanks in advance.
