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: 65% This template was placed on 21:55, 31 July 2023 (UTC). The last edit was on 21:55, 31 July 2023 (CST).

This format is suitable for 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.

'''''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.

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.

Staff

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

Voice cast

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
