So for example, instead of having a link that looks like this: http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=Hachimitsu&do.search=search which might not even work correctly if, say, the anime gets a sequel; in which case that link would lead to a search page listing both those animes. What you rather should do instead is link to the actual anime page for the anime. Such a link always contains an '''aid''', or an '''a'''nime '''id'''. For ''Hachimitsu to Clover'' that aid is '''2835''', and the link would look like this: http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2835.
