Hello,
I'm a big fan of Dragon Ball and own every US released DVD. In the encyclopedia, under Dragon Ball (TV), there are some DVDs missing, such as the Tournament Saga, Saga of Goku, etc. How can those be added? I'm not sure if I have the capability to do it. I did leave a note on that section but I thought that a website admin person would get the note, not the note appear on the Dragon Ball (TV) section. So, how can other titles be added? By the way, the Dragon Ball Z (TV) section also needs a serious update. Thanks.

Well, what you just have to do is go the the letter D section, then go under until you find the "Add an anime" link. Click on it, and just enter the name of the animes you want to add and give some proof for it.

And then, just wait until someone will add it (shoult take for over a week).

For the moment I'm afraid you can't add DVD releases to an anime. The release list is manually maintained by ANN staff (but eventually we hope to add the capability for users to contribute release info). I believe we have most releases that came out in the last 2 years but for older releases it's a bit uneven.

You were correct. The only reason you can see the note is that you're the one who submitted it, but it's invisible to every other user.

Since there aren't actually any new anime to be added, this isn't the way to go.

It could also be that Kraid wanted to add a movie, OAV, or anything which would be released in DVD... Rolling Eyes

Well, I really do not want to add new DVDs, rather older ones that have been out for a while but I would like them added inside Dragon Ball (TV), not on the outside. I'll try the link at the bottom of the Ds to see if that works. If you look at my collection, I have manually added a bunch of Dragon Ball and DBZ DVDs that I own since this site either doesn't have the DVD listed or it's inaccurate, and I'm not done yet.

This site does have the most accurate info for Dragon Ball, DBZ, and DBGT related info: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~vegex/guides/dvd_guide/

About that note I left, I'm glad that everyone else does not see it, only me. Well, I'll try to be as helpful as I can since I would really like to see the entire Dragon Ball and sequel section updated accurately.

Please don't Anime cry
That's for entering new titles, not old/new DVDs for an existing title like you want to do.
