There are three things you need to specify on this page: The title of the anime you want to add as relation, what kind of relation it is, and whether to add the matching relation to the other anime ("Chained add"). On the top of the page you see the previous relations for this anime. Specify the anime you want to add as relation by anime title, synonym title or short title in the text field. Select the type of relation you want to add. Now you have to select whether you want AniDB to automatically add the current anime to the anime you just entered as relation too. Or if for some reason you want to do it manually. If unsure always let this be checked, which is the default. | There are three things you need to specify on this page: The title of the anime you want to add as relation, what kind of relation it is, and whether to add the matching relation to the other anime ("Chained add").
