AniDB
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AniDB stands for Anime DataBase. AniDB is a non-profit anime database that is open freely to the public. This means that all users have the ability to add or edit information to AniDB. Although there are many features available to registered users, AniDB's mission has three main objectives:
- AniDB contains information about all Japanese anime (TV series, OVA, Movies, etc.) that can be accessed through the Animelist. AniDB considers "anime" as an animated, professionally produced, feature work created by a Japanese staff for the Japanese market. There are exceptions (like Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children), but that is the general rule. Since AniDB is open for everyone, everyone is able to add or edit series, episodes, specials, or any other type of information which are or aren't in the database yet. This allows users the freedom to shape AniDB's anime information to become the best it can be.
- With AniDB users can create and maintain their own personal anime list called a Mylist. By adding files, any user can begin creating their own mylist once they have registered an account. Once a user enters what he/she has watched and voted on anime, AniDB's Anime Hint can offer anime he/she may be interested in by how they have voted.
- AniDB contains information about all anime related files floating on the Internet. Users are able to freely add new file information or modify information of existing files. There are no files available to download from AniDB nor will its staff encourage any form of direct downloading at AniDB or its forum. However, any registered user can find useful hashes, video/audio related information, and other types of information on files entered by other users.
