Every piece plays where its own catalogue plays it, and is credited there: series and films their rights holders post on YouTube in YouTube's player; live channels from the iptv-org database on their own pages; films from their archives; podcasts from their publishers' feeds; stations from Radio Browser. 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.
