Hi everyone,
Based on the survey you guys filled out, it's clear that upcoming/current season anime are very important to you. I'm wondering what your opinion is on marking ovas/movies/specials as 'seasonal', and would appreciate if as many people as possible could reply (and/or vote on the poll).
Right now, we mark something as being in a season if it's a tv series that starts in that season. For example, something that starts in Fall 2012 will be marked Fall 2012 (and not any other season after)
But, we currently don't mark things like OVAs, specials and movies into 'seasons', unlike what the anime charts out there (such as Seasonal Anime) mark.
So the question is, do you tend to expect to see ANYTHING released during a season to have the season tag? If so, I can start marking movies, specials and OVAs that air during a season, with the season tag. I suspect people are going to say they do want these marked (and frankly, it's what I'm leaning towards personally too), just wanted to put out a poll to confirm/deny.
To clarify, if it's a multi-episode OVA (or multi-part special), they'd follow the same rules as TV series. Meaning the first episode = the season it gets marked as.
Another option which might be best is to mark OVAs/movies with season tags, but DON'T mark random DVD specials/add-ons with season tags (as that seems counterintuitive to me)
