Translation in progress This page is currently being translated; it may be incomplete, inaccurate or obfuscating. Moegirlpedia hopes that you can help with translating, proofreading, or copy editing this page. Progress: 90% This template was placed on 22:14, 31 July 2023 (UTC). The last edit was on 17:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC).

This format applies to the introduction of television animation, web animation, or other animated media. For animated films, use {{Film Infobox}}.

If the animation is the derivative work of a comic, a game or a novel, then do not use this template. However, you can use it in the "Derivative works" subsection of the main article. If, and only if, the animated work is significantly different from the source material, that is, when it is not possible to introduce the animation and the source material together in terms of content, you can use this as the main template.

First paragraph

The first paragraph is a brief description of the work, accounting for the author or producer of the work, the genre, and the airdate.

The general format of the first paragraph is:

'''''Work Name''''' is a/an '''Work Genre''' animated series created by '''''Producer Name''''', which started being broadcast on [Premiere Date] on [Platform] (TV channel, web streaming service)], with derivative works such as (comics, games, novels, etc.)

The format is not fixed, a one-sentence description of the work is sufficient.

Plot

This section provides a core synopsis of the work. The source could come from an official website. If the source is from another website, you need to rewrite it in your own words. The part of the plot is the one that the visitors most want to see, so it needs to be described in full here. If there are spoilers, {{Spoiler}} needs to be added.

Characters

This section introduces the characters that appear in the work. A description of the main characters is enough, no need to make an extensive list. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary for the editor to organize their own words before summarizing.

Lore

This section provides an introduction to some of the major plot elements in the work, especially ones with a whole new lore.

Staff

This section lists the work's production staff, which can be usually found in the show's opening and ending credits.

Voice cast

This section lists the work's voice actor cast, which can be usually found in the ending credits.

Episodes

This section can include a synopsis of the episodes of the work. If not, you may just write the title of each episode.

This part could take a long time to be perfected. For the sake of the article's aesthetic, you can hide the collapsible content with {{Hide}}.

Related music

This section can be written with information about music associated with the animation. You can usually find it in the ending credits.

Series works

If the work is part of a series, you can fill this field in. If not, delete this field.

Derivative works

If there are spin-off works, for example, comics, games, or novels based on the animation, then fill in this field. If not, delete it.

Other
