Anime
Every adaptation links back to its source.
On REZICS, an anime, its source novel or manga, sequels, spin-offs, and game adaptations each have their own identity, connected by named relationships. Start with any one to find the others.
Example
One story, told in several forms.
For example, A Certain Magical Index began as a light novel by Kazuma Kamachi. It was adapted into manga, three anime seasons, and a film. Its spin-off A Certain Scientific Railgun has its own manga and anime. On REZICS, each is a separate work, linked by relationships that identify adaptations, sequels, and spin-offs.

Example.
Separate progress
Track the anime and source work separately.
Finishing an anime does not mark its source novel as read. The same character may survive in the source but not in the anime. Both accounts can coexist, each stating which work it comes from and which episode or chapter reveals it.
Relationships
Named relationships describe both sides.
Each relationship has a name in every language. One page says “adapted from,” and the other says “adapted into.”
Adaptation
A work transformed into another form, such as a novel adapted into anime.
Sequel
A continuation of an earlier story, such as a second season.
Series
Works in the same series, each with its own identity.
Remake
A work made again from the beginning, with its own identity and a link to the earlier work.
Spin-off
Another story that branches off from the same story world.
Release order and watch order can take different paths.
Works are listed by their announced release dates. To guide new viewers, create a separate watch-order list and include your reasons.
