"relations" explained?
Hi, this has been bothering me for a while, and i searched the wiki page and faq's but didn't find any real info on this. Is there somewhere where the anime relations are explained, ie like what does "same setting" and "other" exactly mean? I can figure most of them out, but a few of them need some explanation I think
