well maybe the topic on transformer should wait until the real definition would finally be chosen.

And also i think that implementing this blacklist option would greatly reduce hatred toward entries "that shouldnt be there" and thus make the acceptation of things like transformers easier.

Should I add the blacklist option in the requested features or wait a bit?

Go ahead and add it to the tracker... This would be useful regardless of which animes are added to the system.

the original language is japanese OR japanese were heavily involved in the creation process (production would not count of course) OR it is directly releated to something that is already considered anime.
Ok, but Animatrix, from Warner Bros, ... hell, it stinks to have to consider it as an Anime. Or one day we will add a Disney and a DreamWorks to AniDB?

...you know the various people that made it, right? Check ANN or summat, some pretty big names. Sure, it's commisioned work, but Morimoto is Morimoto, etc.

From the soon to be published, "What is an Anime?"...
Animatrix [1] - Yes, it was animated by many well known Japanese Artists and has a anime style.

I'll post it with AOM 0.6. :twisted:

I kept threatening to do it, and then I got busy. I never got a chance to sit down, edit out the markups and proofread the whole thing. I am trying to get it out soon.

OK, it's finally posted. As I said, it does not resolve the Transformers issue, but I have seen more support for adding it than I have for leaving it out.
