Memorandum: How to submit "Related Anime"

While the first TV series shouldn't be listed as a sequel to it, I agree with it being listed as a prequel to RELOAD. Because the manga it's adapted from is part of the RELOAD manga, not the original manga. Yes, it chronologically takes place before the first TV series, but it's not part of the first series' story, it's a part of RELOAD's story, and therefore a prequel to RELOAD.

A entry for The Frogman Show was just added to the encyclopedia yesterday. It should have a link to Eagle Talon The Movie - The Chancellor Only Lives Twice. This news story seems to suggest that the movie is a compliation of the TV series, though anidb lists the movie as a sequel to the TV series (but I'd probably trust ANN saying it is a compliation over what is on anidb).

I hadn't intented to post again at ANN for the time being, but this is bugging me: Please be advised that the entry for Hyouka fails to mention its OVA.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe we have an entry for it to establish a relation for?

If you mean this:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-03-24/hyouka-manga-to-bundle-original-anime-blu-ray-disc
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-05-11/hyouka-episode-11.5-to-be-streamed-before-bd-release

then, if it was streamed half a year before the disc was released it is more of an ONA than an OVA, but it it officially treated as "episode 11.5" then it probably doesn't need it's own entry and it is indeed already included on the episode list (albeit incorrect as 11B instead of 11.5)

There should be a link between Jankenman and Jankenman: Kaijudaikessen. Both myanimelist.net and anidb.net say that Jankenman: Kaijudaikessen is a side story of the TV series, though I've not seen any of the series, so I can't confirm that. Also, they both write "Kaijudaikessen" as three words, "Kaijuu Dai Kessen", though I don't know which way of writing it is actually more accurate.

I have a suggestion to make the sequel/prequel visualization a bit more user-friendly and better understandable.

The way the relations between different series are shown are to complex to be able to have a good idea of the relation.
for instance,
see link: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1801
When you click on the link that points you towards the OAV, another 2 extra related shows pop up that weren't mentioned in the initial link. I find it very confusing to get a grip on how all these series relate to each other.
The way things are shown on aniDB is much more understandable. You can go to a new page there with a full overview: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=rel&aid=1308 (same series)
Is it possible to change the way ANN works to this way? Only with a few improvements.
For example:
- if a series gets revamped into new universes (say gundam or macross, you should be able to make a clear distinction between the different universes and their respective sequals, prequals of that universe.
- for movies of longrunning anime (naruto, bleach, DBZ, etc) that don't really tie in with the main story but can be situated in a range of eps, you should be able to mention where you need to situate this movie. So that people new to the series can know when they need to see a certain movie or when they need to hold off a bit.

my apologies if i posted this in the wrong topic/ thread but couln't find the right spot for this.
