The encyclopedia relies heavily on user-submitted information. If you see something that's not in the encyc, feel free to add it.

...Except if it's "not anime but related".

We don't want any more clutter than there already is. When it comes to that special category, ANN staff might add something to it IF and WHEN they feel necessary, on a completely arbitrary basis. Super Sentai Series is live-action right? So don't bother submitting it. This is first and foremost an ANIME encyclopedia, let's try to remember that.

I'll give you a more precise explanation:

The Kamen Rider titles are in the Not Anime But Related section because they were based on the manga series by the late Shotaro Ishinomori. Same goes with Jinzou Ningen Kikaida and Inazuman. Super Sentai and Metal Heroes are not in the Encyclopedia because they have no tie-ins with Ishinomori or any manga artists.

The only exceptions would be Himitsu Sentai Go-Ranger and Metalder, both of which were created by Ishinomori. However, we have no plans on adding them to the Encyclopedia in the near future. Other tokusatsu titles by Ishinomori such as Kaiketsu Zubat and Robot Keiji K won't be added anytime soon, either.

If you want Super Sentai or Metal Heroes, go to Japan Hero.

BTW, if you're wondering about why Chouseishin GranSazer is in the Encyclopedia, it's because we have the manga adaptation listed.
