Yeah, when you see that message it means there's a bug, period. Good thing it was reported in this thread because gmail decided the automated notification belonged in the junk folder :-/
Anyway, that issue is fixed now. |

The release date for Vagabond 34 is 2012-10-02 in the encyclopedia, but is 2013-03-19 at Right Stuf, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble.

Fixed and thanks. As you can see, the release date was grabbed from the publisher and/or retailers automatically, and once the field is occupied it wouldn't update itself should the publisher and/or retailers have postponed the date. A similar problem: the description of this volume 34 is actually the same as volume 1; of course it's not true, but that's how retailers to "fill in" the description field (shrug). |

We don't have the CLAMP North and South Side anywhere at the moment that I can see - would be "fun" trying to figure out where to slot those. It is possible to connect a single release to multiple titles but still... |

I got a reply from Vertical_Ed about what is contained in there upcoming artbook:
So it doesn't have much art from the anime, BUT there is some in there. I'll show my bias and say that I want it in the Encyclopedia because it is material related to an anime being released by a prominent R1 publisher. It's also a popular franchise and the fans of it would very likely be interested in it, though they may not know it exists. The only reason I know it exists is because I saw it on TRSI's "New and Changed Items" section. However, I do agree with dormcat when he says artbooks should only be linked to the material the art is taken from, and since the art is mostly taken from the combat books with little coming from the anime, I wont fight it if it gets rejected. If it's OK with the editors I'll add it in. If not, so be it. |

That's true, but it can only take you so far. Most artbooks contains original high-res art which can't be traced specifically to the manga or anime. You might be able to make a distinction based on the artist and/or art style, but very often an artbook belongs to a franchise as a whole rather than a specific manga or anime. In that case it makes most sense to add it under the original work that started the franchise. |

Maybe we could link an artbook with a mangaka / illustrator? It is not uncommon with an artbook containing art from several titles.
I'd say this happens most often with games, the type of original work we don't have yet. The Queen's Blade case is exactly one such example. |

Oh, Queen's Blade was originally a game? No, a book! No, a game-book! WTF. Well, in that case putting the artbooks under the first TV series seems like the best choice to me.

The franchise started with gamebooks, thus falling in somewhere between a paper-based game and a graphic novel. To make things more confusing: most of arts in gamebooks were provided by famous animators / character designers, not mangaka or illustrators, giving the finishing a distinctive anime art style. |

I keep botching the releases I'm adding because I'm stupid.
Bodacious Space Pirates - Collection 1 (DVD 1) Bodacious Space Pirates - Collection 1 (Blu-Ray 0) Those numbers after DVD and Blu-Ray need to be removed. Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl [Premium Edition] (Sub.DVD) This one just confused me. I've noticed that there was a section for Blu-Ray + DVD combos under releases, and so assumed that this would just go there. Unfortunately it only ended up under DVD. I've actually noticed several combo sets that aren't under the Blu-Ray + DVD combo section. There are cases like recent combo for Strike Witches 2, but something like AnoHana, whose release is still fairly recent, is only under Blu-Ray, despite being a combo. It actually still uses the old +DVD trick. I was thinking that all combos added before the section was added would just stay the way they are since all of Funimation's upcoming combos are placed correctly, but that's not right either since the old Ga-Rei Zero combos (1 | 2) were placed into the Blu-Ray + DVD section even though I remember adding them before a combo section existed (I was still asking for one at the time). I just don't get what's going on with the combo packs. Also, since we're talking about Ga-Rei Zero, this release needs to be fixed.
That part in parenthesis needs to go. ... OK, turns out there's about a dozen more labeled similarly (or at least from what I saw in a quick scan). I thought it was agreed that collections wouldn't use the numbering system, did that change? Another example is Steins;Gate where it's two releases read:
Those # of # shouldn't be there, right? |

I remember now first coming across Queen's Blade as the game books through some nice art. The anime itself came as something of a shock ^^;
BSP done. I was just planning to add Denpa Onna myself.. I've fixed it up, but had to enter it using the old "+DVD" fudge since there's no option for sub only combos. I don't think the automatic system works with combos either. I'll look at the others now... --edit-- Anohana is down that way because it is sub-only. Going to wait for further input regarding volume numbers. |

But how are there some under the combo section, then? It's so jumbled right now. Cat Planet Cuties is another release from earlier this year that's properly separated into the Blu-Ray + DVD combo section. Meanwhile, Shiki, released the same month as CPC, is only under the Blu-Ray section. |

I think that just means an editor either entered or fixed them. I'm not aware of it ever picking up on a combo for me, but then I've mainly been entering UK and AU releases which are a whole different kettle of fish...
--edit-- Corrected the Shiki releases. --edit-- And a few others I found through search strings. |
