"Avatar: The Last Airbender" not on anidb?
I realize it's not technically anime, but the show is routinely shared on various bt trackers that specialize in anime/manga. Avatar is clearly influenced by anime and is more or less an American anime series. I didn't know anything about it when I first saw it on some trackers and it would have been a lot easier if it showed up on anidb when I searched for it. I'm sure others have had the same problem.
Is it some kind of anidb policy to not also put American anime-style series in the DB?
Thanks and keep up the great work!

okay! fair enough for me! i just had never watched it and don't see nickelodeon, so i downloaded it thinking it was a new anime series.
then i saw it and it sucked. mostly because of the dubbing, but the style was pretty bad. i just thought an anidb average of 6 or something would have warned me. oh well. next time, i'll use google!

Avatar has every single element a GOOD anime has.
Drama
Romance
Martial arts
Characters similair to Animes
Storyline
So you will not post Avatar on the Ani DB only because it wasn't originally created in Japan? I call that discrimination towards nicely made Animes like Avatar.
Oh, who said that Avatar sucks cant know how to see Animes.
I watch alot of Animes, and I know how to rate Animes. I would give Avatar a 7.5/8.
I prefer Avatar above naruto, I say that Avatar SHOULD be on the Anime Database, even if it was only about its quality.

to be specific....anime (shortage of animeshôn) is just the japanese word for cartoon...and outside of Japan/Asia all what is called animes is a Synonym to japanese cartoon. But in Japan when you are asking for anime they give you the american cartoons as well.nwa wrote:It's a cartoon, not an anime.
[17:34:45] <worf> we should just implement lots and lots of new features and then rename "AniDB" aka "Anime Database" to "AniDB" aka "Animation Database"
[17:35:06] <worf> that way we could cover every tiny shitbit of american/french/whatever cartoons and CG animations
[17:35:18] * worf is looking forward to seeing Shrek on AniDB
[17:35:26] * DerIdiot adds werner
[17:35:56] <worf> woah ... old "Star Trek: The Animated Series" on AniDB! AWESOME!
[17:36:30] <SPF> oh yea, I have those series
[17:39:23] <worf> hmmmm, just thinking about it ... having ed2k links for animated hollywood movies on anidb sure would be handy :p
[17:39:41] <DerIdiot> for the mpaa to sue us all?
[17:40:47] <worf> yeah, that too
