Arts Animation Anime
Anime is Japanese animation. Several anime titles are dubbed in English and broadcast in English-speaking countries, but many fans prefer to buy original anime videos (OAVs) or subtitled anime.

No sites will be listed at this level/ Please navigate to the most appropriate subcategory based on the site''s content.

- Absolutely no hentai sites or any sites containing adult content are permitted here. Sites with adult content are accepted only to the Adult - Anime category.

- Do not submit fan sites to the main Anime category. Fandom category is for all fan sites made for more than one Anime title.

- Sites covering specific titles or series such as Sailor Moon, Pokémon, and Dragon Ball Z should be submitted to their respective categories. Fan sites for all specific titles and other series will not be listed outside of their categories.

All submissions made that do not comply with these guidelines will be deleted without question.

If you have any further questions, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.

The Open Directory Project editors are committed to building the most useful Directory on the Internet. We want to help your promotion efforts by listing your site in a timely manner. We want your website to be found easily. By choosing the most appropriate category, you assist us in both these efforts.

Sites which are incomplete, having Under Construction notices, or which contain broken graphics or links have a poor chance of being listed. Please wait to submit your web site until it is complete. Please double-check the URL, and, if possible, include an e-mail address so we may contact you if we have questions.

Collectibles

This category highlights collectibles from your favorite anime or manga series. This includes dolls, shitajiki (pencil boards), cards, stickers, action figures and almost anything else that is big enough for a cute anime face to fit on.
Any kind of gallery or information site on anime products is acceptable here. Fan sites that trade and sell products in addition to information on collectibles are more than welcome here also.

Dealers should look to the Shopping branch to be listed, as shopping sites are seldom appropriately listed in the Arts branch.

Some series have specific merchandise categories, for instance: Revolutionary Girl Utena and Sailor Moon. Websites pertaining only to those series would best be served by submitting directly to that merchandise category.

Personal galleries of non-animated artwork should be submitted to the category for Fan Art or Original Art as appropriate.

Multimedia

Multimedia sites can include episode downloads, video and sound clips, music, games, screen savers, icons, images, skins, and other items, and must involve multiple anime titles to be listed here. If a site contains only one type of media, it may belong in another category specific to that media. Sites that also include significant informational content do not belong here.

Before submitting, please consider whether your site would be more appropriate in another category instead:

When writing your description, please keep the following in mind:

  • Avoid using promotional language ("amazing site", "most comprehensive", etc).

  • Do not use terms such as "you", "I", or "our".
