Welcome to the Anime and manga WikiProject, a group of Wikipedia editors that aims to create, expand, improve, and standardize anime- and manga-related articles.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on our discussion page.
Anyone who edits or otherwise contributes to anime- and manga- related articles is automatically considered a participant; there are no requirements other than that. If you wish, you can identify yourself with the project by adding your name to the list of participants. This helps to spread word about the project.
Voice actors, Japanese or international, whose principal work is in anime and whose roles are generally notable (such as Takehito Koyasu or Jessica Calvello);
Although its scope is broad, the project maintains an essential focus on anime, manga and related merchandise originally meant for consumption in Japan. This does not include works with incidental or minor association, such as:
Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on or are similar to Japanese media in terms of content or form (such as Chinese animation, Korean animation, manhwa, manhua and Western manga-styled comics such as Gothic Sports and Peach Fuzz);
Media, particularly video games, in which anime or manga characters make incidental or out-of-context appearances;
Pre-modern manga (such as Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga), their artists, and other related elements;
Composers, bands and musicians with incidental anime or manga association (such as having only a few of their songs sung for an anime opening);
Articles on compilation albums with only a few anime- or manga-related tracks.
