          "identityBasis": "The selected published identity includes the specific aliases Ilse’s Journal, A Sudden Visitor and Specialfolgen 1-3, begins in 2013 and selects three OVA installments. Kodansha’s original book12 listing explicitly names Ilse’s Notebook and its December2013 DVD; book13 separately identifies one new Jean-centered training animation in April2014; book14 separately identifies the march-training animation in August2014. Those two distinctive story identifiers correspond to the licensed U-NEXT listings under the separate titles Unexpected Visitor and Distress. Book15 explicitly starts the distinct No Regrets adaptation in December2014. The official anime distribution announcement lists the three original named works separately before No Regrets and Lost Girls. Thus the generic selected OAD label is limited to the first three book-bundled works, not all eight items under the later distributor collection. This is a combined edition correspondence based on the original publisher, authorized distribution inventory and selected aliases; no plot text, dates, episode facts or runtime counts are imported.",

      "reviewRationale": "Official animation and theatrical lists identify the television series and 21 named animated films. Toei distinguishes both Kai runs; the official announcement identifies two additional animation projects. This family includes alternate and compilation treatments and therefore does not claim a single narrative continuity. Membership implies neither narrative chronology nor canonical continuity. Official product inventories also establish the separately reviewed animation bonuses and theatrical editions; no television episode mapping or chronology is inferred. Official product inventories also establish the separately reviewed animation bonuses and theatrical editions; no television episode mapping or chronology is inferred. Additional primary-source edition review extends the selected animation family without episode facts or chronology claims. The photographed original audiovisual packaging explicitly presents this exact named video as DRAGON BALL Z, carries the Bird Studio/Shueisha/Fuji TV/Toei Animation copyright line, Bandai issuer marks, and original printed animation stills on the rear cover. Together with the matching exact title, edition barcode, and cassette label, this supports membership in the named Dragon Ball animation family. Evidence is publisher-printed documentary packaging in third-party collector custody, not publisher-hosted prose or a fan-database relation. Only SERIES_MEMBER is asserted: no sequel/canonical chronology, episode identity, cross-provider relation, date/runtime import, or equivalence with the full Terebikko game catalog.",

F&C’s current OVA records independently list the two 2002 animation releases credited to F&C FC01. Their typo agein is resolved by the original animation publisher’s correct title.

The reciprocal chapter navigation establishes the selected three-part animation identity. Edition codes and year are identity evidence only; no release or episode facts are imported.

Original chapters, re-editions and compilation consistently credit Toshio Maeda as original creator and Phoenix as animation producer. The existing original Urotsukidouji animation is independently cataloged by NDL under the Japanese family name with original creator Toshio Maeda.

          "identityBasis": "The publisher’s dedicated revival landing page explicitly names 鬼作 魂 in its document title, separately from the other named product. Its linked product inventory, already captured in June 2004, lists the distinct first return-volume DVD KSXA54931 with 2004.5.28 and a 2004 animation copyright. The later capture retains that record and adds separately numbered return-volume codes. The same inventory distinguishes these return volumes from the separately explained compilation of the earlier Kisaku THE ANIMATION volumes. This establishes the selected Spirit animation edition without relying on plot or images.",
          "membershipRationale": "Pink Pineapple’s dedicated Kisaku revival site explicitly names Kisaku Spirit and Kisaku Shirudaku under its series-revival heading. Its own linked product inventory identifies the Spirit return-volume releases by separate 2004/2005 DVD codes and identifies the other listed product as a compilation of the original named Kisaku THE ANIMATION first through sixth volumes. That explicit original-work constituent statement bridges the earlier animation to this named family site; membership is not inferred from two vaguely similar package titles or from a shared source-game credit. The original animation also has its independent 2002 publisher product page. These publisher records establish broad animation-family membership for the two selected identities. They do not by themselves establish direct sequel chronology or a complete franchise roster.",
