Suggestion for manga magazines: How do we, or shall we, add more manga to a magazine? Take Shonen Jump Japan for an example: there are hundreds of manga have been serialized on Shonen Jump, but I found no way to add up the list (has only twelve and most of them were finalized years ago), even if the manga is within ANN's database. Say, the picture on Shonen Jump's page is Ichigo 100%, which is serializing in Shonen Jump Japan right now but I found no mean to add it up.
However, adding ALL manga which Shonen Jump had serialized could overload both the server and ANN staffs.

Right now, the encyc's set up so that only staff can link manga titles with the "serialized in" tag. I'd recommend adding the titles as normal and then PMing me or another staff member with a list of titles that need to be associated with Shonen Jump. |

This idea would also be good for anime. I know that i've listed 6 episode (Illusion) titles for the Jungle Guu Final OVA, but since i don't know the names of the other 8 i left it alone. This does make it looks like there are only six episodes for the whole series when in fact there are 14 episode titles (or 7 episodes each containing 2 sub "Illusions") |

It sounds like the episode titles should be listed out like Urusei Yatsura's first ten. Also in a similar vein, is it be possible to allow multiple tankubon counts to be listed for different editions? For example, Nausicaa's first edition has 4 tankubon and it's second edition has 7(I think). And the page counts are different, as well. The only one I recall is YUA and I believe Tempest manually entered that data. |

Hmm, that sounds like an idea, but what's the syntax to make it look like:

Recently, when I entered staff information I’ve noticed the inconsistency of translation about various tasks. I’d like to discuss this issue and let ANN Staff to determine the best translation.
プロデューサー, 製作, 制作 The first one is the katakana of “Producer” and must be a person. However, the other two can be either persons (“Producers”) or companies (“Production”). To make matter worse, the two latter phrases are difficult to differentiate. IMHO the second one is “Production” while the third one is “Producer.” I have no solid evidence to prove my theory, but 製作 is often linked with a “[insert anime name here] Production Committee” while 制作 is usually linked with animation, music, and sound production (アニメーション制作, 音楽制作, 音響制作), respectively. 原作 (“Original Story,” “Original Creator,” “Original Manga,” etc.) It can be the original of anything. However, things can get complicated when two or more persons (but not as a group like CLAMP) did the original work, such as “Story” and “Art” of a manga. Hope this translation could get unified. シリーズ構成 (“Series Composition” or “Series Construction”) Personally I prefer “composition” and most entries use “composition” instead of “construction.” After all we are not building a house. 脚本 (“Script” or “Screenplay”) According to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, a “script” is “the written text of a stage play, screenplay, or broadcast; specifically: the one used in production or performance” and a “screenplay” is “the script and often shooting directions of a story prepared for motion-picture production.” Looks like script is included in screenplay, and since a person who writes such a thing is called a “screenwriter,” I’d say “screenplay” is the better word in this situation. キャラクター原案 (“Original Character Design” or “Character Conceptual Design”) I’d say these are the most confusing ones, with roughly 1:1 ratio in ANN Encyclopedia. Personally I prefer “Original Character Design,” but I’ll let Staff and other ANNers to decide. 総, as in 総指揮, 総監督, 総作画監督 In most cases “Chief” is used, but I’ve seen “Main.” I’d say “Chief” is better. 原画 Isn’t this “Key Animation?” However I’ve seen a much more “direct” translation: “Original Art.” Those above are most common ones; there are some other lesser-known tasks with ambiguous translations. I’ll be very grateful if any Staff or ANNer could help to make this list more complete and clarify the confusion caused by different translations. Thanks in advance. |

All right, then: Inoue, You should have the text "Also credited as: Igami, Haruka or Inoue, Haruka" -and both those names should link directly to Inoue, You. And (I know this functionality already exists) any entry with one of these names
Inoue, Yô Inoue, Yoo Inoue, Yoh should be corrected automatically to Inoue, You. Please. - abunai |

Well, the problem here is that there is currently no one in the database name "Haruka Igami" or "Haruka Inoue", so I can't yet merge those names with You Inoue. First you'll have to enter one or two roles for those 2 names. |

If we could spilt Mermaid Melody Pitchi Pitchi Pitch and Mermaid Melody Pitchi Pitchi Pitch PURE (Becuase, the Japanese site episode list has started back at 1 for the start of Pure instead of going to 53) like Sailormoon and Sailormoon R (because MMPPP, as the series, had ended this April and its sequel replace it).

Hi,
I think you do a mistake on Hi no Tori (2004). A japanese speaking guy say me the Art Director isn't Minoru Nishida, has you report, but Minoru Yasuhara. Both of them have worked on Tezuka-based stories, but it's the last who works on the recent series

Would you please supply the source of your information (like a website or something else) other than word of mouth? According to the official staff & cast list, there are four Art Directors (美術監督): 河野次郎 (Kawano, Jiro(u), #6516) 西田稔 (Nishida, Minoru, #15893) 斉藤雅巳 (Saito(u), ?) 柴田正人 (?) My Japanese is not good enough to spell out all their names in romaji, but I'm sure there's no Yasuhara (安原) in the staff list. Neither is Minoru Yasuhara in ANN's database. In the future, please use "Report an error in this page" button to report an error. Use the forum only for problems that cannot be reported by the button (e.g. duplicate entries). |

斉藤 reads as Saitou or Saitoku 雅巳 reads as Masaki or Masami There is no person in the DB that matches any combination of these. 柴田正人 should probably be read as Shibata Masato. -abunai |

Thanks a lot! I just throw this name to Google and found a plastic surgeon, a lawyer, and a billards player who has his name here in katakana. Looks like this is a rather common name. |

Well... both "Shibata" and "Masato" are common - but the person I linked to is probably the right one, since his specialty is in the same field.
