If you are planning to apply for a character from an anime/manga adaptation of a game, please remember to use the comments field to supply more information that will help the applications staffer verify that the character is approvable at TAFL.
As I'm sure you are all aware, it would be pretty difficult for a staffer to be familiar with each and every anime/manga series ever created, which is why supplying links to pages with more information is always appreciated by the staff, as it enables us to process your application faster, but it is particularly important when applying for characters from these types of series. Very often, the websites that provide information for these series either won't provide information specific to the anime/manga adaptation, or they don't separate the information that pertains to it (meaning, they will have a character list, but it won't specify if the character is in both the game and the anime/manga, or just in one).
If the staffer is not familiar with the series and is unable to verify that the character is approvable, your application can not be approved. The staffer will usually email you back asking for more information, but it would make things a lot easier for everyone involved if you include the necessary information from the start.
Examples of things that can help us verify if the character is approvable are:
- Websites with information specific to the anime/manga version of the series (in this case, a list of characters that appear in it)
- Images that "prove" that the character is in the anime/manga (scans of pages of the manga, or screencaps from the anime)
-
I just wanted to bump this and bring it to everyone's attention one more time.
It is very important that you provide some kind of information that allows me to verify whether or not something is approvable as a manga/anime adaptation. I had to return several applications last round because I could not confirm whether the characters in question were actually part of the anime/manga or if there even was an anime/manga.
