Nothing here is copied. A piece is here only where its own source says it is anime: a rights holder’s Wikidata record, a channel’s own name, an archive’s subjects, Apple’s category or a station’s own tags; never a title alone, and never because it is animated. Each keeps its own catalogue’s profiles, and what is in Japanese says so.
