This is a non-prescriptive rule and is only stated as a suggestion; regular numbering rules still apply and can modify the numbering as appropriate.

Framework for OP and ED Episodes - C and S Episode Guidance

This framework describes how OP and ED episodes are identified and classified within AniDB's C and S episode types. Refer to discussion on the AniDB Adv. User forum here for further detail.

The following rule cascade shall apply. Higher ranking rules take precedence over lower ranking rules. For example, Rule 2 will have greater precedence than Rule 4.

General Principles

  1. Within the rules, all references to "BD" are also references to "DVD". However, when used in notes, spell out in full for all applicable instances.
  2. Within the rules, all references to "TV" are also references to "HDTV" and "www". However, when used in notes, spell out in full for all applicable instances.
  3. Spell out "Episode" and "Volume" in full; no exceptions.
  4. Short episodes, given their significantly compressed duration relative to standard 20+ minute episodes, are to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This Framework may be used as a guide, but should not be applied directly to a strict standard without use of discretion.

Rule Framework

1. Default Rule, non-OP/ED =/= C ep

1. Default Rule, non-OP/ED =/= C ep: In general, anything not credited as an OP/ED song is never a C ep; always add as S ep.

Rule 1 details


2. Default Rule, OP/ED = C ep

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

Rule 2 details


3. Insufficient video =/= C ep

4. No opening/ending segment

5. Anime that use summary or recap type OP/ED for the majority of OP/ED

6. Fansub-created chopjob cuts

7. "Loaned" C episodes
