Include Field for Licensor Entries [DENIED]

I'd suggest you give proper recognition to the various companies around the world that have licensed the anime you catalog here.

For instance, Hellsing needs one because it has at least 4
licensors (Pioneer USA, ADV UK, Madman AU, and Odex SG.)

Your DB is nice, but I think it biases things towards the fansubbers (and DVD rippers) and fails to mention that the series are often licensed.

Just a suggestion!

Yeah I was thinking about it too but since there is AnimeNFO for things like that I'm not sure it will be put in!

AnimeNFO may exist, but I think some balance should be struck, especially considering this site gives prominent positions to groups like Zhentarim DivX who are simply DVD rip groups.

Surely those who work with anime legitimately deserve to be represented with their titles.

Anyone remember the thread about "collections" and dynamic arbitrary anime info fields?

not sure about this one.

there will not be a special colum "licensors" or something like that.
but you could put that info elsewhere i guess.
about the collections, well, dunno if it's a good idea to use those for this.

BYe!

Reread the thread regarding those collections...

One part of the idea was to replace the static anime info fields (producer, licensor, etc.) and add these bits of information just like you can add alias names or short names.
