Content:Staff Credits: Difference between revisions

So what happens if you'll notice a mistake with the credit type? If the video says キャラクター設定 but the page gives キャラクターデザイン, then simply change it to what the video gives. It's simple if it's just a different variation of what is eventually the same credit, but it might take time if it's a case of アニメーション制作 vs. 制作 for example, as people who don't know the meaning behind this credit may not easily find that 制作 is Work and アニメーション制作 is Animation Work, another common mix-up is 制作 vs. 製作 (Production). If you notice a mistake in the creator's name, then you'll probably have a problem, since you'd need to get the correct kanji(s) from somewhere. One way is to look for another web source and hope they didn't make the same mistake (aka copy paste) or the method I use is once again a tool made by rar - [http://tools.anidb.net/krad http://tools.anidb.net/krad]. It's a kanji builder, you build kanji by combining radicals, is it easy to use? No. Will it eventually become easy to use if I've used it enough? It did for me. But yeah, it requires patience. Basically kanji are often a combination of other kanji. For example if you look at a kanji, notice it having a symbol like 广, then you click on it on the table, then you notice the symbol 耳, you click on it on the table, this narrows the selection down to only 2 kanji - 廰 and 廳 from where you should be able to make out the one in the video. But yeah... generally, if the name in the video is different from the name given on the Japanese page you used to copy, then just don't add that credit, no data is better than wrong data.

* D2 Station (Down, '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160920154048/http://www1.vecceed.ne.jp/~m-satomi/ here is an archive.]''') - or a more precise link - http://www1.vecceed.ne.jp/~m-satomi/data.animation.html. Imitates the exact credits given in the video and also adds episode specific credits (you need to click on the sub section usually as a link named by the episode range covered on that page). The only search you can do there is the browser search and there are a number of anime missing of course, but it's still a long list. Are there mistakes on that page? Yes there are.

* Harasawa animeprogram (Down, '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20080823191202/http://park8.wakwak.com/~harasawa/animeprogram/index.html here is an archive.]''') - also lists cast per episode

* アニメスタッフリスト　データベース (Down, just like the entirety of Geocities, '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180115004912/http://www.geocities.jp/inutori_bekkan/database/index.html here is an archive.]''') - a small selection of anime with staff and cast credits.

* ia.ath.cx (Down, '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120830130345/http://ia.ath.cx/ here is an archive,]''' but most screenshots weren't saved.) - this is a funny one, but quite useful and then again not. It provides screenshots of the entire outro credit listing of an episode and the range of anime is quite varied, from really old ones to ongoing anime and since they're screencaps from the actual video, there are no mistakes. Of course, we can't copy from screenshots, can we, so that's why they're useless to most of us, save for the people who can actually write Japanese characters from the video without actually having that video. There are also some entries with text instead of screenshots, but those only give the most important episode specific credits - 脚本 (Screenplay), 演出 (Episode Direction), 絵コンテ (Storyboard) and 作画監督 (Animation Direction), which can most of the time be acquired from the Japanese wiki as well.
