How come you can only find the pages for certain titles by using the search function? I was debating with this guy a few months back whether BASToF Syndrome was a valid anime or not, and because I didn't find it in the encyclopedia right away, I argued it wasn't anime because it wasn't in ANN's database. Anyway, turns out you have to use the search function to find its page.

Plus is there an easier way to look for Live action versions? I notice that people have live action titles added to their My Anime lists, and I was wondering how I can add live action to mine. There's already a general section for both anime and manga, is there one for live action?

Thanks Laughing

As I understand it, the titles not listed directly in the Encyclopedia as anime, are not anime. That section is no longer available without searching but the titles you are coming across are not anime but related in some way.

Live action works the same way, easiest to find by searching for it, or by finding the manga or anime it is related to and it will sometimes be listed in the "related" section in the top left corner.

Here's the link for which you are looking: Not anime but related. BTW, BASToF Syndrome is Korean animation, and is therefore not anime (since "anime" is, in English, Japanese animation).
