AniDB:Dates: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:17, 21 September 2005

You may ask yourself "Why should I add air dates?" First, obviously, for information purpose and to create complete anime entries. Furthermore, casting a permanent vote on an anime is disallowed until the end date for that anime has been set. If you're sure that an anime has already finished airing (or was released through other means), but it doesn't have an end date set yet, you can try looking up the exact info on the sites below. (See also: How to update or correct existing entries)

So where can I find airing dates?

OVA

* http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/tachime/Date/datedd1997.html DVD release dates from 1997-2004; mostly useful as a starting point since DVD wasn't necessarily the first release medium

* Hentai: http://www.saimax.net/cgi-bin/searche_jpx.cgi Both, in English and in Japanese, search with romaji, it does have older hentais as well, but since it only shows the date the DVD was released, the dates for older animes are mostly wrong, basically for hentais created <1999 the dates are false.
