* For example, the US release of {{Short|a1530|Dragon Ball Z}} condensed the first 80 episodes from the Japanese airing into 65 episodes for the US airing; this is informally referred to as a "US chopjob". The Japanese episode count and airing dates would override, as Japan is both the first-release market and the home market for the anime.

Where the 1st air date is a special airing, i.e. a pre-screening, we generally use this as the air date, given that this is the 1st worldwide release. However, if the special airing is '''extremely limited''' (for example, a one-off airing on a Japan airlines flight), this would generally not be used as a 1st air date. '''Discretion should be used on a case-by-case basis!''' See Adv. User subforum discussion for details [https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=cmt&id=70753 here.]
