You know an Episode for an Anime that's not listed...

AniDB is a userdriven DB and every user can add new episodes. So if you know an episode for an Anime thats not yet in Anidb we encourage you to add it. We also ask you to include as much info as possible when adding a new episode, it's for all users' benefit.

Where can I add new Episodes?!

At the bottom of every anime entry is a link names "Add Episode". Once you click it you're on the "Add Episode" page. There's a lot of info you can input here.

Basic info you should include when adding an episode

Episode number

Be careful with different episodeorders here. For the moment the japanese "How it was supposed to be shown" order is our standard

Episode Name (English)

Check the official page if it's licensed, if it's not use a translation of the romaji/kanji title.
If you have neither use: "Episode XX" where XX is the number of the episode. for OVA (complete ep#=1)
if there is no real ep title (aka when the ep title = anime title) just name the ep OVA
for Movies

there are only 2 states for this:
