Default Episode Release Day?? - 06-01-2011, 04:57 PM

Hi!

I wonder if you could have the release day (day of the week, e.g- Monday, Wednesday,etc) mentioned on the Episode page so that people know what day that particular anime is available for downloads??

After the Earthquake disaster occurred in Japan, i noticed that some of the episodes had different release dates. Displaying the day the episodes are released may help people know if the day had been changed.

For e.g - Fairy Tail which at the beginning was available for downloads on Mondays is now available for download on Saturdays. While most people are aware of the change in release dates in advance, others may not. Showing the release day may help people know in advance if the day had been changed.

I hope my suggestion is good.

Thanks!!

Just because there's a set release day doesn't mean it will be available that day. For the most part it works with anything Crunchyroll does since Horriblesubs and similar rip it immediately, but even they do not always release "on time". Anything outside Crunchyroll is whenever a given fansub group releases their episodes. My point is it would be unreliable.

I support the idea of adding some sort of schedule, maybe on the sidebar showing when each anime airs. I understand the subtitles won't necessarily be released the same day the anime airs, but it's nice to have an idea of when to expect the next episode.

I thought the reason people used this site was that they didn't have to keep track of when animu was released...

There was something like that almost implemented by Naga but it doesn't seem to work anymore, I'll see if I can get someone to fix it.


Seems like my spoiler gave people the wrong idea, hiding a nsfw sig inside a spoiler tag is not enough.

People should read. There's no mention of air dates, but rather when it can be downloaded.

And thank you Bele.

Nice contradictory statement there...
There is no 'release day' for 'when it can be downloaded' because
there is no set-in-stone schedule for subs, ripped or otherwise.
Thus, most people run by the approximation that episodes will be released
within the 12-24 hrs of their air time, which can be given a definitive calendar...

As for 'when is shit released?', there's the RSS Feed for posted episodes...
Air times on the other hand, will tell you 'it will be released sometime after now...'

Have you never checked in the upper right corner, their it is, the release day, click on the day a week ago, then you know the stuff that's still coming.


Well, I don't think you mean the original releases but the subbed, no one knows for some sub groups but most of them have a standard time, well, I use the calender of Crunchyr***. Then I know the latest change.
The episodes jumped a lot after the earthquake (but this is off course only for the horrible(subs) releases).

I just wanted to add in my .02. I don't care either way if there is a calendar or not, but seeing Tiggerz's statement made me think for a moment.

Since basically this site makes money for the owner, as little or as much as it may be and the uploaders make money for downloads, it would be somewhat logical I would think that his original suggestion be taken as a decent suggestion.

Maybe with a thrown together calendar of airing times in Japan, it could possibly generate more site traffic? (People googling things like "anime calendar," "anime showtimes," etc, etc.) We all know what more site traffic means, more money for uploaders and the owner.

Just another way to look at his suggestion. I may have looked at it differently than you guys did.

As I said in my post up there ^ such a calendar was almost implemented by Naga, then he got something more important to do, like getting shot at or something, and now it isn't working so I'm trying to get someone to fix it.
