Question for Database

Arrangements · Nov-21-09, 10:53 AM

I want otakuchopsticks to be more of a find the right anime for you than a WHOLE database, cause you know ann has pretty much taken care of that.

What do you guys look at when "quickly" viewing a page on RomanceAnime.com or on ANN?

I was thinking of leaving out Episodes and just stick with number of episodes. Who actually looks at the titles of episodes?

Date of release.

Idk, I find all the information when I click on an anime title to be quite appropriate.
hahaha, I actually look at the title of anime quite often, but that might just be me >w<
And I think the date of release is very important.

Wow, that's actually a pretty big question. I'll try to sum it up as best i can.

If I'm looking for something new I go to known good animes and or mangas that are the style I'm looking for. Then either look for recommendations or chase down the artist or author. Normally doing a cross reference to the desired genre. I could go into more depth, but the search really takes on a life it's own. I could quite literally end up in a form of popular animes checking on members opinions or a translation site checking on the latest news.
If I find something interesting I normally check on reviews.
If it's something I'm already watching (or reading) I'm normally checking on episodes and additional seasons or OVA's - and possible spin offs. I normally do not check on episode titles unless there are extra episodes and specials. Then I'll try to check the titles so I can watch everything in the proper order.
If I'm looking for images I'll check on clubs or picture threads associated with the anime (and/or manga).
If it's something new I'll see if there is a reference to how many episodes have been released.

Oh, if I find a review that's spot on with my own personal feelings I'll see what else the reviewer watched. Sometimes I'll find something that way.
