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

Type

Normal Episode
Special/Extra Episode (DVD Specials, Bonus eps)
Opening/Ending/Theme/Credits Episode
Trailer/Promo/Adv Episode
Parody/Fandub Episode
Other Episode (Supportfiles (AC3 modpacks, fontpacks, subtitles for more than 1 ep), official PVs from the DVDs and other things.)

Note:

"Other" is NOT meant for OST's, Manga, AMV's or any other not official Special!
PV's are NOT allowed if they weren't on the DVD (R1, R2) as a special!

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.

Play Length

The play length of this episode. Round up.

Optional Info

We'd like you to add this info sooner or later to the episode since some other users will benefit from your work.

Episode Name (Romaji)

Please check our Kanji & Romaji Guideline for further assistance with this.

For OVA (complete ep#=1)
If there is no real ep title (aka when the ep title = anime title) just leave the field blank
For Movies
Just leave the field blank.

Episode Name (Kanji)

Please check our Kanji & Romaji Guideline for further assistance with this. AllCinema is a reliable source for this.

For OVA (complete ep#=1)
If there is no real ep title (aka when the ep title = anime title) just leave the field blank
For Movies
Just leave the field blank.

Episode Name (Other languages)

Please check:

The dub itself (if any)
The DVD cover (if any)
The official website (if any)

First Aired/Released and Finished Airing/Release

Check the official Japanese(!) page, Japanese TV Guide or other pages listed here.
Be careful with shows that have 24:00 and later air hours - this means that show will air on the night after the specified date. For the purposes of AniDB, a show listed as airing between 00:00 and 23:59 is added with the listed date; any show airing on 24:00 or later is added with the "first aired" date of the next day.
Example:
Japanese TV schedule says: 01.03.2005 25:30
this means it aired: 02.03.2005 01:30.
Such an episode would be added as "first aired on 02.03.2005".
