-Anime types represent the medium for which an anime was first released.
+[[Content:Anime#Types|Anime types]] represent the medium for which an anime was first released.
+===unknown===
+Anime that has no type set yet. Generally for anime that hasn't been released yet.
+===TV Series===
+Anime that is first released as a series on TV.
+===OVA===
+Original Video Animations (OVA) are animated films and series made specially for release in home-video formats (e.g. VHS, DVD, BluRay).
+Original Animation Discs (OAD) are animated films and series made specially for release as an item bundled with something else, such as a manga, light novel, visual novel, etc.
-{{color|red|NEEDS THE IMAGES THAT ARE USED TO DISPLAY TYPES (e.g. in mylist)}}
 ===Movie===
 Anime that is first released as a movie in theatres.
-===OVA===
-Original Video Animations are animated films and series made specially for release in home-video formats (e.g. VHS, DVD, BluRay).
+===Other===
-===TV Series===
+Anime that doesn't fall into any other category.
-Anime that is first released as a series on TV.
-===TV Special===
-Anime that is first released as a one time episode/movie on TV.
 ===Web===
 Anime that is first released as streaming media.
+Original Net Animations (ONA) fall into the Web category, rather than the OVA category as the name may otherwise suggest.
+===TV Special===
+We classify anime as TV Special when it is first released as a one-off, (generally) non-recurring episode/movie on TV. A TV special can have multiple episodes.
+A notable differentiation from a normal TV series is that TV specials generally are '''not''' serialized. Further, if Japan/China/Korea specifies that it is a TV special, it is probably a TV special. A good resource for Japan is [https://cal.syoboi.jp/ syoboi] to check serialization.
+====Recaps and TV Specials====
+Recap rebroadcasts may be a TV special, depending on its serialization status. The following are some examples.
+Given the often unusual circumstances surrounding such releases, these examples are only provided as general guidance, and moderation discretion should be applied on a case-by-case basis.
+These examples are not exhaustive and not prescriptive. Even if some criteria are met or not met, moderator discretion should be exercised on a case-by-case basis.

+!  Example Anime
+!  Outcome
+|-
+|  {{short|a9127|Psycho-Pass: New Edit}}
+|
+# The New Edit was a serialized broadcast, following a standard weekly airing pattern, making it not a TV Special.
+# The New Edit broadcast contained minimal, if any, new content, making it not a standalone anime.
+# The New Edit broadcast is effectively the same length as the original series (11 x 50 minute episodes vs 22 x 25 minute episodes), making it not a recap.
+# Therefore, New Edit was added to Psycho-Pass as O episodes with file-episode relations.

+|  {{short|a16259|Kimetsu no Yaiba: Natagumo Yama Hen}} and other Kimetsu no Yaiba (KnY) recap specials, other than {{short|a14689|Kimetsu no Yaiba: Kyoudai no Kizuna}}
+|
+# The KnY recap was '''not''' a serialized broadcast, as it was a one-off TV airing, making it a TV Special.
+## The distribution rule above takes higher precedence in determining if this is to be a separate anime entry, and the initial determination is a separate TV Special entry. The remaining criteria still should be considered to see if the TV Special standalone entry determination holds.
+# The KnY recap contained minimal, if any, new content, suggesting not a standalone anime.
+# The KnY broadcast is somewhat shorter length than the original series (140 minute TV special vs 7 x 25 minute episodes = 175 mins).
+## However a lot of the time savings came from cutting out OP/ED sequences, suggesting minor if any scene deletions, and likely simply a repackaging rather than a recap.
+# Therefore, KnY was added as a standalone TV Special, as the remaining criteria were deemed in this case via moderation discretion, to not be sufficient to counteract the TV Special determination.
+|-
+|  {{short|a14689|Kimetsu no Yaiba: Kyoudai no Kizuna}} recap movie of episodes 1-5 of Kimetsu no Yaiba (KnY)
+|
+# The KnY recap was '''not''' a serialized broadcast, as it was a movie that premiered in theatres, making it a Movie.
+## The distribution rule above takes higher precedence in determining if this is to be a separate anime entry, and the initial determination is a separate Movie entry. The remaining criteria still should be considered to see if the Movie standalone entry determination holds.
+# The KnY recap contained minimal, if any, new content, suggesting not a standalone anime.
+# The KnY movie is somewhat shorter length than the original series (105 minute TV movie vs 5 x 25 minute episodes = 125 mins).
+## However a lot of the time savings came from cutting out OP/ED sequences, suggesting minor if any scene deletions, and likely simply a repackaging rather than a recap.
+# Therefore, KnY was added as a standalone Movie, as the remaining criteria were deemed in this case via moderator discretion, to not be sufficient to counteract the Movie determination.

+We classify anime as the Music Video (MV) type in the following situations:

+!  Scenario
+!  Description
+!  Outcome
+|-
+|  1
+|  MVs not related to any existing and/or newly announced anime
+|  By default, add to AniDB as an MV type anime unless there's a reason not to do so.
+|-
+|  2
+|  MVs related to an existing and/or newly announced anime, and are sold/distributed separately, e.g. with a CD single
+|  By default, add to AniDB as an MV type anime unless there's a reason not to do so.

+|  3
+|  MVs related to an existing and/or newly announced anime, and are '''not''' sold/distributed separately
+|  Assess on a case-by-case basis using moderator discretion. Decision criteria could include, but is not limited to, the following considerations.
+This list is not exhaustive and not prescriptive. Even if some criteria are met or not met, moderator discretion should be exercised on a case-by-case basis.
+# Airing time gap between the MV and the related anime: the longer the gap, the more likely the MV '''is''' a standalone anime
+# Whether the MV covers the whole song: if it does not, it more likely '''is not''' a standalone anime.
+# Relation between the distribution channel of the MV and the anime: if the MV was first published by any of the below, the MV more likely '''is''' a standalone anime. This list is not exhaustive; other non-anime publishing methods should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
+## A record label / recording studio
+## A company credited as doing "music work" in the related anime
+## Directly by the artist (e.g. through the artist's YouTube channel)
+If the MV does not meet the definition of an MV anime entry, it should be added to the related anime's entry as an S episode instead.
