Anime Type: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:25, 3 January 2019

This page's content should be accurate with Anidb's features, unless otherwise specified. However I'm a lazy fuck and someone else will have to make the page look clean. And that someone is YOU. Get to work now. PRESERVE SECTION NAMES as those might be used in links. Reordering them is fine though.

When this article's rewriting is done, this message will be removed.

Anime types represent the medium for which an anime was first released.

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).

TV Series

Anime that is first released as a series on TV.

TV Special

Anime that 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.

Other

Anime that doesn't fall into any other category.
