You know an Anime that's not listed...
AniDB is a user driven DB and every user can add new anime entries. So if you know an anime that is not yet in AniDB, we encourage you to add it. But before you do so, please check the AniDB Definition of Anime and make sure the new entry is really an anime according to our definition! Furthermore, please check the anime is really not added to the DB under a synonym!
We also ask you to include as much info as possible when adding a new anime, it's for all users' benefit.

Pic
The Url to Pic allows you to add a picture for this anime. It will be displayed together with the anime info. You can use the Upload a Pic function to upload a pic directly from your hdd to the AniDB server.
You could enter a complete URL to a pic here, but the previous method is prefered, because it ensures that the pic stays available and is loaded directly from our server. The upload a pic function generates short image names which look like xxx.jpg (xxx is a number). After uploading a pic copy this imagename as is into the Url to Pic field (don't add http:// or anything).
