Should LUPIN VIII really be listed in the encyclopedia? It was never official released. Not even a dub track. The encyclopedia should only list anime that are actually view-able and existent as in released to watch.

If anything, the fact that this show was produced but never released makes it even more important that the encyclopedia should have it listed. How else will people know about its existence?

The encyclopedia should be the most extensive resource on anime. Taking out entries just because nobody can watch the anime in question seems counterproductive to what any encyclopedia should aim to be.

Look at it another way, does the entry's existence detract from the encyclopedia? The way I see it, this entry only serves to inform anybody who comes across it.

Tag "cancelled" added. Currently we've got 12 cancelled titles in the Encyclopedia.

Perfect! Clever way to keep the canceled/completely unaired & unobtainable anime known.

Props
