Featured
Series
Here
you'll find anime series that we've seen that we think
are worthy of having their own full sources of information
on the net. These series have established a name for
themselves by either being "classics" (anime that any
fan would recognize at the drop of a hat), by making
an huge impact in the industry during their inception
and release, or just because we've liked it! For now,
there are only a few 'Featured Series' information libraries
up - but we plan to have some more in the future if
space and time allows it. If you've got an idea for
a possible series that you think would be good, let
us know!
