This marks, to a degree, the end of our backlog of new titles to approve.

We still have a large number from one person, which we're doing a couple at a time, but otherwise, all new title submissions are getting processed the same day that they are submitted.

Unfortunately this says nothing of error reports. Area Seven (with help from Cookie) has been making an impressive dent in these, but there's still a large number of them to go, and then there's all the "other" information and alternative titles...

But it is essentially the end of the forum thread.

187 Titles to Approve


Of these, 103 are submitted by the same person. Mostly, or all, old movies.


Sumimasen.

I'm most likely the person who submitted these titles. I was trying to find information on some Toei movies from the Sixties that Miyazaki and Takahata worked on in their early careers. When I couldn't find them in the encyclopedia I did some Googling and came across the Toei Oldies site with a list of their old works. I found that although the encyclopedia had most of the Toei TV productions, it only had about 25% of the movie releases. So, about two months ago I started submitting the missing titles. I didn't realize that it would cause a pig-in-the-python situtation. I believe all the ones I submitted have been processed. There are still a few I haven't submitted yet because of some difficulty translating the titles or finding supporting sources.

Yup, they are titles submitted by you. But actually, we appreciate the submissions very much. While all the new anime tend to get submitted, its our goal to include all the old ones as well. So like I said, we really appreciate the submissions.

We all enter in titles using the "add anime" button, why can't you?

It probably would've taken you as much time to enter them using the "add anime" button as it did to type them up in this forum.

EDIT: OH NEVER MIND, you did it.

It might be a good idea to verify what it is you're submitting before doing it... In this case these are all April Fools jokes done by fansubbers.

I don't know about the others, but the Tachikoma Specials are real. I've seen ten episodes of them, myself. :p
