Content:C Episode Guidance: Difference between revisions

: 2. '''<u>Default Rule, OP/ED = C ep</u>: Anything credited as OP/ED is a C ep, unless an exception applies.'''

:: 2.1. '''"BD/DVD lookthrough" rule''': If the original airing did not include an OP/ED sequence at the end of the episode, but the BD release does include one ("BD exclusive OP/ED"), and the song was credited as OP/ED, this can be added as a C ep.

:: 2.2. '''Ordering of C eps (also applicable to S eps)''': BD exclusive OP/ED are ordered in the listing secondary to original airing OP/ED. '''ALL''' foreign language OP/ED would occur after the original language OP/ED. If there are multiple groups of foreign language OP/ED, group them together. More specifically: all original airing OP, all BD exclusive OP, all original airing ED, all BD exclusive ED, all foreign language #1's OP, all foreign language #1's ED, all foreign language #2's OP, all foreign language #2's ED. Within each grouping of C/S eps, order by air date.

:: 2.3. '''Eptitle of C eps''': The default naming convention for eptitle of C eps is: Opening 1, Opening 2, Ending 1, Ending 2, etc. If there is only 1 opening and/or 1 ending, drop the numeral from the name. If there are foreign language OP/ED, pre-pend the name with the language. For example: "German Opening 1".

::: 2.3.1. '''Major numbering''': The major numbering is linked to a song. Each time a new song is introduced to the OP/ED listing, the number is incremented (1, 2, 3, 4). The numbering is counted separately for OP and ED.

:::: 2.3.1.2. '''Song variants are considered major versions''': If a song is used multiple times, but a different variant is used each time (e.g. regular, acapella, falsetto, different singer, etc), we denote this with major numbering; each variant is treated as if it was an entirely different song. For clarity, different variant = different song ID, and, different implementation version (normal, instrumental, etc) = different variant, even though the song ID is the same.

::: 2.3.2. '''Minor numbering to track changing video sequences''': Songs are often linked to multiple OP/ED videos. The song remains the same, but the OP/ED sequence evolves as the anime progresses; for example, more characters may be added to the OP/ED as they are introduced in the main episodes. Where multiple C ep video sequences exist for the same song, we denote this with minor numbering as such: Opening 1a, Opening 1b, Opening 1c, Ending 1a, Ending 1b, Ending 1c, etc.

:: 2.4. '''Episode notes for C eps''': Episode notes for C eps are used to document differences in the video sequences when multiple C eps for the same song exist, due to multiple OP/ED video sequences. If a song only has 1 associated C/S ep, a note is generally not needed for this purpose.

::: 2.4.1. '''Episode range of video''': Document the episode range of the video, and specify TV vs BD/DVD ranges if they are different.

:: 2.5. '''"Regular OP used as Episode 1 ED" rule''': if the OP song and video is played as the ending of episode 1, but then reverts to normal OP usage for the remainder of the season/arc, we credit the song as ED for episode 1, and as OP for episode 2 and onwards.

::: 2.5.1. '''Both are C eps''': It is still a "C episode" for both episode 1 and episode 2+, however:
