[not urgent] additional content linking to an anime [DENIED]

Post by kidan »

As most anime have got at least one ost and a manga and some have got some goodies like screensavers or games, it would be an nice feature to bind those add-ons to the apropriate anime sometime.

In my opinion there are two ways to do this:
1. create an new Anime enrty (e.g. Love Hina Addons) and put all stuff there.
Drawback: this would blowup the animelist.

2. create something like the special-ep. flag for manga and addons. (like M01 - blabla, M02 -more blabla, A01 - a nice game, S01 - liveconcert of the VAs)
Drawback: It would be some codework (but not that much, as there is already a seperation for specials).

PS those ideas I put here are not meant to bug any dev here. I just try helping you to design the non-plus-ultra-killer-app. 8)

hm,

i am not sure if we need those.
the ost/manga stuff has been requested in the past.
however i feel that those should have their own dbs, i.e.
mangadb and ostdb.
anime entries could then be cross linked to the entries coresponding to that anime on those sites.
but i'd like to keep the anidb itself striktly anime based (no ost, no manga, ...).

that's why the only thing i can think of which could well use this special handling @M01/E01 would be subtitle packs.
and those can be implemented in a better way.

do we still need other "special" ep groups?

BYe!
