Talk:List of anime by release date (pre-1939)

Lead and scope
Following the recent AfD of this page, it was renamed to limit the scope to pre-1939 works, and some mention of why this is significant was made in the AfD discussion. However, no such explanation was added to the lead here, so that an otherwise-uninformed reader would have no idea the cutoff isn't completely arbitrary. I'd prefer someone who actually understands the significance to note it in the lead, since I don't understand it myself. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:00, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

 * I need reliable sources in the form of books, DVDs (must be by known companies), or news. We cant use sources like Dailymotion or Youtube as that promotes the person who uploaded the video (unless it is by a notable company). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:24, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Wrong date
"Furudera no Obake-soudou" is from 1936, not 1935. Just follow the source link. 2001:871:256:366C:584E:2E98:6789:BE72 (talk) 22:03, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
