* '''VIDEO, VIDEO, VIDEO -''' this is THE definitive source for staff credits, and by video I do mean the one with original Japanese credits and NOT R1 credits. It's not to say that studio's haven't used some obscure credit type or mixing up 1 kanji in someone's name, that's where personal judgment comes in, but we'd still like to see what was originally give in the comment. | * '''VIDEO, VIDEO, VIDEO -''' this is THE definitive source for staff credits, and by video I do mean the one with original Japanese credits and NOT R1 credits.

* '''[http://cal.syoboi.jp/ cal.syoboi.jp] -''' this is the source we prefer for airing times of currently airing anime (remember, Japanese got like.. 28 hours in 1 day or something, anime airing after midnight still have the date of what for us is already yesterday, so those should be changed to reflect sane day count) and they also give the main staff credits, those are generally copied from the official page of the anime. | * '''[http://cal.syoboi.jp/ cal.syoboi.jp] -''' this is the source we prefer for airing times of currently airing anime (remember, Japanese got like.. 28 hours in 1 day or something, anime airing after midnight still have the date of what for us is already yesterday, so those should be changed to reflect sane day count) and they also give the main staff credits, those are generally copied from the official page of the anime. | ||
* '''[http://www1.vecceed.ne.jp/~m-satomi/ D2 Station] -''' or a more precise link - http://www1.vecceed.ne.jp/~m-satomi/data.animation.html . Imitates the exact credits given in the video and also adds episode specific credits (you need to click on the sub section usually as a link named by the episode range covered on that page). The only search you can do there is the browser search and there are a number of anime missing of course, but it's still a long list. Are there mistakes on that page? Yes there are. | * '''[http://www1.vecceed.ne.jp/~m-satomi/ D2 Station] -''' or a more precise link - http://www1.vecceed.ne.jp/~m-satomi/data.animation.html.

* '''[http://wiki.livedoor.jp/radioi_34/d/ Anistaff] -''' similar to D2_station but has a search similar to wiki and it doesn't really give full episode specific credits, just the more important ones like key animation and in-betweeners, if any episode specific credits are given at all. Yes, mistakes have been noted on that page as well. | * '''[http://wiki.livedoor.jp/radioi_34/d/ Anistaff] -''' similar to D2_station but has a search similar to wiki and it doesn't really give full episode specific credits, just the more important ones like key animation and in-betweeners, if any episode specific credits are given at all.

* '''[http://www.generalworks.com/databank/movie/anime.html SF Movie databank] -''' the link leads to their anime section. Only lists movies and OVAs, but they go back a long way to the past, there are cases where full credits are given, but often it's limited to the main staff. Mistakes noted on that page? Quite a lot, although the right to wrong ratio is in favour of right. They also peculiarly list R1 credits aka English credits if applicable for the anime, not all the time, though. | * '''[http://www.generalworks.com/databank/movie/anime.html SF Movie databank] -''' the link leads to their anime section.

* '''[http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/ JMDB]''' - this is a page I haven't quite figured out yet. There seem to be credits given for movies, OVAs and TV anime alike, but they don't have anime that broadly covered. Also there seem to be 2 different interfaces for the entry pages that list staff credits - one has links for creators, the other doesn't, and they seem to contain different data and different ordering for example - Metropolis with creator links and Metropolis without creator links When doing a search on that page, you'll always seem to get the version with dots and links, when I search in google "jmdb メトロポリス", I'll get the other version. Mistakes? I haven't actually used it that much, but I can assume there are a few on entries with a lot of credits. | * '''[http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/ JMDB]''' - this is a page I haven't quite figured out yet.

* | * '''[http://shirayuki.web.infoseek.co.jp/anime.html Shirayuki]''' - I haven't really used it much, it also has a fairly limited list, but still a good number of anime., plus it also provides episode ranges. | ||
* '''http://ia.ath.cx/''' - this is a funny one, but quite useful and then again not. It provides screenshots of the entire outro credit listing of an episode and the range of anime is quite varied, from really old ones to ongoing anime and since they're screencaps from the actual video, there are no mistakes. Of course, we can't copy from screenshots, can we, so that's why they're useless to most of us, save for the people who can actually write Japanese characters from the video without actually having that video. There are also some entries with text instead of screenshots, but those only give the most important episode specific credits - 脚本 (Screenplay), 演出 (Episode Direction), 絵コンテ (Storyboard) and 作画監督 (Animation Direction), which can most of the time be acquired from the Japanese wiki as well. | |||
* '''[http://www.allcinema.net/ AllCinema] -''' definitely more accurate than ANN, but the error ratio is a bit too high considering they only give the main credits, often the credits don't match the ones in video (that's not to say that they don't mean the same thing, but even that has happened), mistakes with kanji in creator names and sometimes even a completely different name. Yeah, we got someone here who has copied a whole lot from allcinema without checking the video, I'm not personally too happy about it, but the percentage of correct data gotten from allcinema still is much higher than wrong data. | * '''[http://www.allcinema.net/ AllCinema] -''' definitely more accurate than ANN, but the error ratio is a bit too high considering they only give the main credits, often the credits don't match the ones in video (that's not to say that they don't mean the same thing, but even that has happened), mistakes with kanji in creator names and sometimes even a completely different name.
