Title Format

Anime Title (Season Year) - \{OP|ED}x Vy - "Song Title" [Tag1][Tag2]...

Title Components

Anime Title - Derived from the header of the anime's MAL page. We also permit the use of common synonyms, abbreviations and licensed titles with the use of the delimiter "/".

Season Year - The Season and Year of the anime's initial release.

• This will correspond to the location of the title in the Year Index of the wiki.
• In the general case, this value can be derived from the "Premiered" field of the anime's MAL page.
• For Movies, OVAs, Specials, and shows that do not premiere at the beginning of the season, we will derive the premiere within the boundary of the Season's duration.

{OP|ED}x Vy - The sequence and variant number

• Openings should be marked as OP.
• Endings should be marked as ED.
• If the number of sequences is not known, especially for new premieres, the numbering x is not required.
• The variant number Vy is only required from the second version onward.
• In the general case, we will follow the numbering of sequences on the anime's MAL page.

Song Title - The title of the music track

• In the general case, we will follow the anime's MAL page for deriving Song Titles.
• We recommend cross-referencing MAL with other resources such as Japanese Wikipedia and ANN's Encyclopedia to confirm the accuracy of Song Titles.
• If the title cannot be derived, we will allow the submission to use an empty value for this field.
• We permit the use of a parenthetical after the quoted Song Title to provide the original character set of the Song Title. This is useful in the absence of accepted translations on available resources.

Tags - Identifying characteristics of the video

• The first tag must identify the sequence as an opening or ending with [OP] or [ED] respectively.
• It is mandatory that the resolution of the video is tagged as [{frame height}].
• Include as many tags as are applicable to the video.

Tag	Description
[OP]	Opening theme

[NC]	No credits
[720]	720p video
