On my first manga entry (Tokyo Babylon volume 2) I was unsure if I was supposed to manually add the volume number (inside parentheses) into the text box, as all the listed related releases had them formatted in this fashion. I wasn't aware that the system updated it automatically. So now the title of the release is Tokyo Babylon (GN2) (GN 2). =x My apologies. I got the hang of it after that, heh... Anime smile;;
release#18288

I see no error now; either you or another Encyc editor has it fixed. I added the cover art as well as a link from Buy.com.

I also noticed a release entry for an Evangelion Death & Rebirth/EoE Movie Combo bootleg. The two weren't legally packaged together in the US until 2005, in different packaging, in a release that's already listed separately on ANN. The only buy link for the suspected bootleg links to Amazon, where the reviews and discussion also indicates it as a bootleg.
release#1602
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000RIYA8S/animenewsnetw-20

Okay, this reminds me of the Sailor Moon bootleg incident. The release entry does not have a log recording who or when it was added, and I can't remove the entry entirely. Rolling Eyes

I went to add the Combo packs for this, but I can't because these still exist and use the same links. These don't exist and are preventing me from adding the two sets (the regular and limited edition combo packs) that do exist. I try and I get this message:

Code:
This URL is already associated with Ga-Rei Zero - Complete Series [Limited Edition] DVD


I'm also having trouble adding Melancholy of Haruhi-Chan Suzumiya and Nyoron Churuya-San Part 1 to the Nyoron Churuyan-san entry since I already have it added to Haruhi-chan's page. Since they're two different shows, but on the same discs, it should be listed under both pages. I assume I'll run into this problem again when I go to add Gunslinger Girl's Anime Classic since it contains season 1, 2, and the OVA.

Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball Z - Season 5 Dragonbox Set
Old Date: 2/08/2011
New Date: 4/26/2011
Source: http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Box-Five/dp/B0049TC8IK/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1301580097&sr=1-1

------------------------------------------------

Also, overall, I like this new way of adding releases. There are some link url issues similar to my Ga-Rei Zero problem, however. Like, for example, I can't add the Baccano BD listed on TRSI because I get this message:
Code:
Could not fetch page http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/cO-Vq1CVjBjBTlzH0q/browse/item/91573/4/0/0

I've had similar problems with Hero Tales. The url is right, and using long urls works for Amazon, so I don't get why it isn't working.

Something else that would be helpful is an edit feature after we add something. I goofed in a similar manner to Spoofer, and it'd be nice to be able to fix it immediately.

There also needs to be a DVD/Blu-Ray Combo option. For King of Eden I physically added it to the title, but it reads awkwardly like Eden of the East: King of Eden (DVD/Blu-Ray Combo) (Blu-Ray)

These need to be renamed (Anime Classic) instead of [Viridian Collection].

Sgt Frog

Sgt. Frog - Season One
For consistency's sake, it'd probably be better to rename this Sgt Frog - Season 1 Complete Collection. Also, all the releases on the entry page are in a weird order. It'd be much neater if they could be reordered to look like:

Amphibious Assault
Season 1 Part 1
Season 1 Part 2
Season 1 Complete Collection
Season 2 Part 1
Season 2 Part 2
Season 2 Complete Collection
Season 3 Part 1

Also, again for consistency, the colons in Sgt. Frog: Season 2 Complete Collection (my goof, I apologize) and Sgt. Frog: Season 2, Part 2 should be replaced with hyphens and the comma should be taken out of Season 2 Part 2.


And are there any plans to make DVD/Blu-Ray Combo an option? I ask because there are several I haven't added because I'd be in a similar situation as the King of Eden one I ran into. It'd be easier to just wait for the option to be added (if it is) and then add them to the list instead of doing it and now and asking for them to be changed later (like Rideback needs to be).

I'm still wondering about this. There are currently 5 (6 if you count Ga-Rei Zero, but, well, yeah) Combos I haven't added because it's not an option and I don't wont to clutter the title line by tacking (DVD/Blu-Ray Combo) at the end like I did with King of Eden. And with Funimation making this out to be their new release model and not just an experiment, this should probably be implemented.

2.22 You Can Advance

That title needs to be reworked. It should simply be Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance.

The BD release needs to be changed to the same title as well.

I'm reviewing my error reports ("[Error report] Consolidated errors for doc-watson42") and updating their status. I ran across this:

The subtitle for Spiral volume 1 is What are the Blade Children?, not The Melody of Logic, which is the subtitle for volume 5.

I added Durarara!! part 2 to test the new feature (thanks, Dan!):

* I was unable to use shorthand http://www.rightstuf.com/i/aoa0702 format when linking to the TSRI catalog entry. I had to use the full URL from my browser, instead.

* I noted that the previous entry parenthetically lists the release as "DVD 1 of 3" while my addition is simply "DVD 2". Should I have used some sort of "2/3" notation in the DVD# field of the form?

I added a couple of the Dragon Ball Z single dvds and found the numbering for the dvds is off. Here is a list of the dvd number, episode numbers, and dvd title of the ones that are incorrect. Most are just off by one.

28 86-89 Fall of a Tyrant
29 90-92 Namek's End
34 106-108 Pelude to Terror
36 115-117 Dr Gero
37 118-120 Assassins
39 125-127 Encounter
40 128-130 Discovery
41 131-133 Race against Time
42 134-137 17's End
43 138-140 Hunt for 18
44 141-143 Temptation
45 144-146 Perfection
46 147-150 Unstoppable
47 151-153 Ultimatum
48 154-156 A Moments Peace
49 157-159 Guardian's Return
50 160-162 The Games Begin
51 163-165 Surrender
52 166-168 Earth's last Hope
53 169-171 Awakening
54 172-175 Sacrifice
55 176-179 Nightmares End
56 180-182 Opening Ceremony
57 183-185 Final Round
58 186-188 Gohan's Secret
59 189-191 Declaration
60 192-194 Crash Course
61 195-197 Junior Division
62 198-200 Draw
63 201-204 Blackout
64 205-207 Descent
65 208-210 Battle Royale
66 211-213 The Dark Prince Returns
67 214-216 Rivals
68 217-219 The Hatching
69 220-222 Atonement
70 223-225 Revival
71 226-228 Tactics
72 229-231 Defiance
73 232-234 A Hero's Farewell
74 235-238 Emergence
75 239-241 Evil Buu
76 242-244 Play for Time
77 245-247 Losing Battle
78 248-250 Ambush
79 251-253 Hope Returns
80 254-257 Last Saiyaman
81 258-260 Internal Struggle
82 261-263 Regression
83 264-266 Saiyan Pride
84 267-269 Vegeta's Plea
85 270-272 Price of Victory
86 273-275 New Beginning

I found one title, Dragon Ball Z - Cell's End should be renamed Dragon Ball Z - 17's End.
Also these two titles are currently associated with Dragon Ball Z when they should be associated with Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball - Feature 1: The Path to Power (DVD)
Dragon Ball - Fortune Teller Baba Saga DVD Set (DVD)

The new feature to add releases is great. But do you think there could be some guidelines on how to enter the titles (colons, dashes, parentheses, etc) so the entries would match up and be uniform?

The title for the first Zentrix release need to be changed to "Zentrix Collection 1 - Out of Time". The current title is based on the Japanese title, and I can't find an edit button, so I assume I still can't fix these things.

Each url is counted as a contribution, but does not count towards the monthly total.


I've added a measly 4 or 5 releases within the past couple of months but none of them seemed to affect my contributions. These would be my first contributions to the Encyclopedia, so maybe I'm just not looking in the right place? ( animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/my-contributions.php is just a blank page for me.) I'm not adding them specifically for aknowledgement, but it would be nice to be able to keep track of what I'm submitting all the same. Smile

The contributors page (Encyclopedia Additional resources—>Contributors) would be the other place to look, but apparently these days you need at least twenty five contributions to even rank.

Given that the FUNi Last Exile set doesn't appear to be happening -- presumably due to the upcoming sequel and Japanese BD set -- should the release entry be removed or somehow updated?

There are two problems with the Midnight Sleazy Train series releases (= two OAV series of three episodes each).

The first is that the release for the sequel OAV series, Midnight Sleazy Train Track 2, has been entered in the entry of the first series, Midnight Sleazy Train. This release needs to be moved.

The second problem is that the collection release, which covers both OAV series (proof), is already entered into the MST entry, and this is apparently preventing me from entering it into the MSTT2 entry, since I keep getting this error message:

Quote:
This URL is already associated with Midnight Sleazy Train - The Complete Collection DVD

I realize that this is probably an anti-spam measure, but there are a number of other standalone OAVs that have been collected together, for which I would like to enter the releases.
