| For all their "improvements and updates" Anime Taizen doesn't

|
| 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.

| 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.

| Yeah, a quick skim of the anime list comes up above 75,000

| The new site does seem to have more entries, but I haven't

| 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

| 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.
