anime#15888
Wanted to clarify two things about this anime
First, in the encyclopedia, it is listed as a sequel... However, it is not a sequel to Rainbow Live. It is a compilation of Aurora Dream, Dear My Future, and Rainbow Live, and airs a different episode from the past 3 years.

I also wanted to ask if I should add cast/staff members from each episode they air. All of these episodes are reruns, so I wasn't sure.

Format of the show:

- Intro with flash animation where the characters talk about the day's theme
- Rerun episode with opening theme
- Flash animation outro
- Live-action segment with Prizmmy
- Rerun episode's ending theme

That brings up a good point, in how to handle repackaged reruns in general. I know that Hamtaro also was doing the same thing, a few years back, repackaging the old episodes under a new title, with minimal additional content, and Pokemon was (or may still be) rerunning old episodes under a new title, with nothing new.

It's one thing if it's a case like Break Blade, where they're changing the format of the series from movies to TV, or a compilation movie, but when it's something like this? Should it even be listed separately in the Encyclopedia? Or should the repackaging just be listed as an alternate title, with info about the additional content in the notes section, and precision used for any new staff/cast?

It did? I had no idea! :3 Hamtaro eh... Wink

I would like to know how our encyclopedia plans to categorize these.

I used to use this program called Keyhole to watch Japanese TV, and I saw that Hamtaro was on, so I tuned in... and it was one of the first season episodes that I'd seen dubbed, with a weird live-action puppet thing at the end ^^;
