#12> "Anime Taizen" Opens to The Public Today, Basic information on about 15,000 registered anime works is covered. In comparison, according to [1] MyAnimeList has 17′868 entries. Wikipedia states that "As of 2008, the site claimed to have 4.4 million anime and 775,000 manga entries" - this has to be an error. [1] https://www.quora.com/How-many-animes-are-in-the-world [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyAnimeList
It should be noted that MyAnimeList--as many sites do--splits an anime up into its separate seasons, specials, and sometimes individual cours.
Which means, for example, Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin doesn't count as only one entry. It counts as at least 6 entries based on seasons/cours alone, and more if you count OVAs, specials, and recap movies.

#13> "Since 2015, The Association of Japanese Animations (AJA) has been promoting the "Anime NEXT_100" project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Japanese animation. As a major initiative of the project, this database was first released on a trial basis on October 22, 2021, and after confirming functionality and operation, and making improvements and updates, it has now been released to the public."
For all their "improvements and updates" Anime Taizen doesn't seem to be holding up very well against the traffic.
I was curious about the 100 year claim. It's likely anime existed much longer but Namakura Gatana is often considered the oldest surviving Japanese animation and it's on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jybHrUxO78g)

Their statistics in homepage doesn’t claim they are bigger than Anime Taizen. They said they only have 13898 animes (title?).
And then they mentioned that it is not only for Japan anime but China and Korea as well.

From main page under "AniDB Statistics":
> 13898 Anime
The new site does seem to have more entries, but I haven't checked what the differences are exactly (e.g. are some things counted in one but not in other). For example the table shows 36 movies from 1910s, in AniDB there is only 26 (search with start time between 1.1.1910 and 1.1.1920, the only entries are movies).

Huh. Maybe they have a row for each translated name too? 5x more due to that wouldn't be crazy.

I know weebs go nuts for for "just according to keikaku" *keikaku means plan but this one is just baffling to me.
Why use a loan word that itself is a loan word that just comes back to season?

Because Shirobako was popular.
Well, or rather, consider the following (Ascention of a Bookworm S3): a 26 episode series airs in fall and winter, making it a two-cour anime; it's not a two-seaon anime because it's actually the third linearally related show.
We could call it the second sequel instead of the third season, but this doesn't seem to happen.
