mysql> select va.anime_id, anime, count(vid_id) as "count" from video_anime va, anime a where va.anime_id = a.anime_id group by anime_id order by "count" desc limit 10;
+----------+-------------------------+-------+
| anime_id | anime                   | count |
+----------+-------------------------+-------+
|        7 | Dragonball Z            |  1577 |
|       27 | Neon Genesis Evangelion |  1076 |
|      789 | Dragon Ball Z           |  1011 |
|       46 | Cowboy Bebop            |   916 |
|       24 | Trigun                  |   779 |
|        8 | Final Fantasy 8         |   701 |
|        6 | Rurouni Kenshin         |   523 |
|       29 | Sailor Moon             |   487 |
|      166 | Final Fantasy 9         |   457 |
|       19 | Gundam Wing             |   385 |
+----------+-------------------------+-------+

Notice how both "Dragonball Z" and "Dragon Ball Z" are in the table. Someone (a while ago, judging from the anime ID) decided that he was watching "Dragon Ball Z", and certainly not "Dragonball Z". What brilliance.

PS: MySQL really hates that join. The join --- which has a freakin' primary key --- increases query time by an order of magnitude (estimate). Fun, fun, fun.

I think it's even stupider that you people qualify Final Fantasy clips as anime.

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy 10
Dragonball GT and Dragon Ball GT

If Anime=Animation

OK .. so let me get this straight.

If Anime=Animation
and CG=Animation
then CG=Anime

so by your way of thinking ... then

Ice cream = Cold
Frozen steak = cold
Ice cream = frozen steak ?

No .. i think not . This is the perfect example of why all you youngens out there need to finish high school ,( wait a minute ... we learned this in elementary)

I'd like to introduce you to a friend of the org, it's name is Humor.

Of course ice cream = frozen steak.

You know, it didn't use to be, but with everybody changing logic all of a sudden, it doesn't seem to matter.
