In general, database entries are not verified or vetted by AniDB staff members before they are inserted into the DB. As such, AniDB expressly cannot guarantee the validity of any entries in our database, and AniDB cannot be held responsible for the content of the database entries. While AniDB does not guarantee the validity of entries in our database, we do undertake in a "best-efforts" basis to periodically review database entries at random. Should you see an error in any of the database entries on AniDB, you may submit a change request to make an edit.

Please note that if there are multiple accounts associated with that email address, we will remove all related accounts unless you specify otherwise.
