AniDB supports a number of short links that links to different aspects of the database, they are meant as a convenience for linking to information on AniDB. So for example, instead of having a link that looks like this:  
AniDB supports a number of short links that links to different aspects of the database, they are meant as a convenience for linking to information on AniDB. 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


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 anime. What you rather should do instead is link to the actual anime page for the anime. Such a link always contains an <tt>'''aid'''</tt>, or an '''a'''nime '''id'''. For ''Hachimitsu to Clover'' that <tt>aid</tt> is '''2835''', and the link would look like this: http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2835

Now, if you use '''short links''' the link is even more convenient: http://anidb.info/a2835


http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2835
Let's review. We have the search-link, the anime link, and the short link:
 
* <tt>http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=Hachimitsu&do.search=search</tt>
Now, if you use '''short links''' the link is even more convenient:
* <tt>http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2835</tt>
 
* <tt>http://anidb.info/a2835</tt>
http://anidb.info/a2835
 
Let's review. We have the search-link, the anime link, and the short link:<tt>
*http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=Hachimitsu&do.search=search
*http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2835
*http://anidb.info/a2835</tt>


You can use whichever you like, but for convenience, isn't the short link easier to use and remember (as long as you remember the aid)?
