It would be nice if somehow there could be a company index as well, similar to the way lists are compiled for staff/cast members. It'd make things a lot easier to see all the anime Gonzo/Pioneer has done/licensed, for example.

Is there a way to do this already?

Sorry if it's already been suggested. I also think it would be nice if some information could be included about the individual companies as well, but I realize that might be biting off more than we can chew at this point. Other information might include when the company was founded, key employees of the company, what other anime merchandise they produce (on ADV's page Newtype would be listed), and so on.

I was thinking about that today because of the anime network I wanted to see what stuff adv owns.

Ask, and ye shall receive! Very Happy

Actually, the "companies" part of the Encyclopedia was ready for some time, but I wasn't very happy with how the companies are listed: a lot of them seem to be the same company except with slightly different spellings. But I can't merge them without being *sure* they are the same company, because a lot of companies have "sister" companies with almost the same name. For example, "Nippon Hoso Kyokai" and "Nippon Hoso Kyokai satellite". I kept pushing this off until the list had been cleaned up, but since there's such a demand for it... there you have it! Wink
