The link for the anime (vs. the manga) "Oh My Goddess" defaults to the entry for "Ah My Goddess".
OMG is an entirely different, earlier work, released in the US by AnimEigo.
Please correct this.
Thanks!

There are two completely separate anime releases that come up on a search for "Oh My Goddess"

In the search results, they come up as Oh My Goddess! (OAV) (#53) and Oh! My Goddess (TV) (#3639).

The former is the "Oh My Goddess!" OAV series released by AnimEigo in the 1990s. The encyclopedia page has the title "Oh My Goddess!" as the main title ("Ah! My Goddess!" is an alternate), which matches the titles shown on the covers of the releases.

The latter is the "Ah! My Goddess" TV series released by FUNimation in 2005. The encyclopedia page has the title "Ah! My Goddess" as the main title ("Oh! My Goddess" is an alternate), which also matches the titles shown on the covers of the releases.

I'm not sure what problems are here? Both will come up on search (as will other Ah! My Goddess anime), and both are correctly labelled based on their official US titles on the encyclopedia pages. The only thing I can see, would be to make it so that the TV series doesn't list as "Oh! My Goddess" on searches, although both are clearly labelled as OAV and TV, to mark their difference.

And you thought we'd be unaware of that? Talk about underestimation. Anime catgrin + sweatdrop

I assume the thread starter were talking about the alphabetical list:



@Misopup: Please refer to the last line of the legend at the bottom of the alphabetical list page:

Quote:
Legend:
the closer to this color, the more information we have
the closer to this color, the less information we have
licensed anime are in bold
alternative titles are in italic
