Credits for animes. [DONE]

Post by another tard »

how about having a multiple lined "credits" instead of a single lined "Producer" as it is now for animes?
so that i can specify stuff like japanese licenser and american licenser and producers and original creators and co-producers.
as it is now i have to write "original creator / Producer, co-producer / Licensers" all on one line, and it doesnt look good.
the licensers arent important really, but sometimes thats the only info available, and its better then nothing, and sometimes they were even involved in the production process.
just so that it would work to write like this;
Credits: Original Creator: Blabla-san
Producer: blabla-company
Co-producer: second blabla-company
Licenser: american blabla-company

Instead of writing;
Producer: Original Creator: Blabla-san / Producer: blabla-company / Co-producer: second blabla-company / Licenser: american blabla-company
as you would have to do now.

most of the time there is not only one company in charge of the entire production, and you cant see what did what. so it would be easier to just put them all in a mutliple lined "credits" instead of a single lined "producer", dont you think?
i dont know, just an idea.
you would have to write the "original creator" and "co-producer" things yourself, but you have to do that now aswell so thats nothing new. :)

hm,

but on the other hand that would bloat the size of the info table even more.
I am not sure if we really need this.

I think it would be very nice if there will be animation producer and general producer (as you can see on http://www.public.iastate.edu/~rllew/anitv.html for TV series). At least I could provide info on animation producer for animes I already have (about 150-200 titles) since I collect that info already. :)
Another thing very nice is if we could have info on producers not as just string but as link. Then we could find all animes from AniDB that producer created. :)

Do the collections thing instead. It should be able to handle credits as well and would even allow easy crossreferencing. :)

It seems this topic is frozen now. :(
May be, as partial step, do add field "Animation company" into anime records?

I think yidakis expandable [+] icon is a good idea

I think exp is trying to figure out if it's harder to do it the easy way ten times or the hard way once... :P
