'''AniDB considers "anime" as an animated, professionally produced, feature work created by a Japanese staff for the Japanese market.''' There are exceptions, but that is the general rule. Since AniDB is open for everyone, everyone is able to add or edit series, episodes, specials, or any other type of information which are or aren't in the database yet. This allows users the freedom to shape AniDB's anime information to become the best it can be. | ||
:*With AniDB you can create and maintain your own personal anime list called a [[Mylist]]. Never again will you have problems with notepad, Excel, Access or whatever programs you previously used in order to maintain a list of what anime you have or haven't seen. By adding [[generic files]], any user can begin creating their own mylist once they have registered an account. Once a user enters what he/she has watched and voted on anime, AniDB's [[Anime Hint]] can offer anime he/she may be interested in by how they have voted. There are many features and utilities available to help users have an easier and more productive way to maintain their mylist of anime. | :*With AniDB you can create and maintain your own personal anime list called a [[Mylist]].
