AniDB stands for Anime DataBase. AniDB is a non-profit anime
database that is open freely to the public. This means that all
users have the ability to add or edit information to AniDB.
Although there are many features available to registered users,
AniDB's mission has three main objectives:
AniDB contains
information about all Japanese anime (TV series, OVA, Movies, etc.)
that can be accessed through the Animelist. AniDB considers "anime"
as an animated, professionally produced, feature work created by a
Japanese staff for the Japanese market. There are exceptions (like
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children), but that is the general rule.
Since AniDB is open for everyone, everyone is able to add or edit
series, episodes, specials, or any other type of information which
are or aren't in the database yet. This allows users the freedom to
shape AniDB's anime information to become the best it can be.
With AniDB users can create and maintain their own personal anime
list called a Mylist. By adding files, any user can begin creating
their own mylist once they have registered an account. Once a user
enters what he/she has watched and voted on anime, AniDB's Anime
Hint can offer anime he/she may be interested in by how they have
voted.
AniDB contains information about all anime related
files floating on the Internet. Users are able to freely add new
file information or modify information of existing files. There are
no files available to download from AniDB nor will its staff
encourage any form of direct downloading at AniDB or its forum.
However, any registered user can find useful hashes, video/audio
related information, and other types of information on files
entered by other users.
