+====Air Date General Rules, 1st Airings, and Special Event Airings====
-Where the 1st air date is a special airing, i.e. a pre-screening, we generally use this as the air date, given that this is the 1st worldwide release. However, if the special airing is '''extremely limited''' (for example, a one-off airing on a Japan Airlines (JAL) flight), this would generally not be used as a 1st air date.

+# Airing dates on AniDB document the "standard airing" for a given episode. A "standard airing" is defined as a broadcast airing; this includes terrestrial TV, satellite TV, and web streaming TV (e.g. YouTube, Netflix, NicoNico, Abema TV, etc); this also includes TV Specials, as defined by Japanese broadcasters.
-'''Example of limited airing 1st episode:''' {{short|a12233|Boku no Hero Academia (2017)}} -- Episodes 1-3 were shown at a special preview showing, selected by lottery, held on March 28, 2017.<br>
+## For web streaming TV, the broadcast must be a completely unrestricted public airing on the video platform, as a non-private/non-restricted video.
-'''Example of non-limited airing 1st episode:''' {{short|a15342|Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear}} -- The first episode was streamed on Abema TV on September 19. Regular TV broadcast started on October 7.
+### A paywall (e.g. a premium subscription) does not count as a non-private video; it still counts as an unrestricted public airing, as it is no different than subscribing to satellite TV such as AT-X.
+### A YouTube video marked "private" and available only by request is a private video.
+### A video on a streaming platform (e.g. d Anime Store) that requires a limited-distribution personal invite code (e.g. only 1,000 codes will be awarded) counts as a restricted video.
+### A video available exclusively in "live stream" mode without the subsequent ability to watch as video-on-demand counts as an unrestricted airing; this is no different than waiting to watch a TV special broadcast on MBS at a specific timeslot.
+#### By extension, a video-on-demand that is only available for a limited-time-window, e.g. only posted for 24 hours before the "special airing event" ends, counts as an unrestricted airing; this is actually less restrictive than a traditional TV broadcast, where the video is only available at the broadcast timeslot, and no longer available afterwards.
+# Regarding limited pre-airings:
+## Event-based and physical-location-based pre-airs are never used as the airing date.
+### Example 1: a pre-airing at a convention centre that is coupled with a voice actor Q&A + meet and greet session
+### Example 2: a public viewing in an open park with a projector screen
+### Example 3: a one-off airing on a Japan Airlines (JAL) flight
+## Regarding pre-airs in theatres:
+### For terrestrial TV, satellite TV, and web streaming TV (including TV Specials), all theatre pre-airs are disregarded and are not used as the airing date.
+### For movies, by definition they are aired in theatres, therefore the earliest full theatre date is used as the airing date. Pre-release festivals and other pre-air events are disregarded.
+#### Pre-release festivals and/or theatre pre-airs are defined as a limited-location release (e.g. only 2 theatres in Tokyo), premiering up to 1 week (7 days) before the full theatre release.
+### For OVAs/OADs/ONAs and music videos:
+#### A somewhat common occurrence for OVAs is to have a movie pre-air 2 weeks in advance. In this scenario, use the movie pre-air date as the OVA air date, regardless of the # of available theatres.
+#### If the movie pre-air date is less than 2 weeks, ignore the pre-air date and use the retail release date.
+#### If the movie pre-air date exceeds 2 weeks, the OVA may instead be more correctly classified as a movie, as decided on a case-by-case basis by moderators.
+# If a episode originally intended for a broadcast release receives an early/advanced release in a different, unrestricted format, that format's early/advanced release date shall be used as the AniDB airing date.
+## Example 1: {{short|a14623|Jashin-chan Dropkick Dash}} was released in its entirety on Amazon Prime Video (Japan) and Crunchyroll on 06.04.2020; episode 1's TV broadcast started the same day. As such, all episodes use 06.04.2020 as the airing date, rather than the original broadcast date.
+## Example 2: {{short|a15734|Gekidol}} released its full series in BD format on 03.03.2021, which predates the TV broadcast of the last few episodes. As such, the last few episodes using the 03.03.2021 BD release date, rather than the original broadcast date.
