Welcome to Ichi Niche!

Ichi Niche was developed as a personal repository of metadata consisting primarily of animated tv shows and movies that I own. There are many community-built databases for multimedia content, some of which I personally contributed to for a few years. However, a lack of flexibility with the metadata (as well as a very baffling rigidness on a particular episode of the Justice League animated series) led me to my motivation to create this platform.

On Ichi Niche, the order of most tv show's seasons and episodes will be consistent with what is found on other platforms. However, some shows may have alternate ordering/categorizing for better viewability and acknowledgement of production ordering. Some examples include Reborn! being split into nine seasons instead of being one season, or the two-part OVA "Tylor's War" being added as a special to the The Irresponsible Captain Tylor page, instead of to the The Irresponsible Captain Tylor OVA page.

I'm also making sure that all assets that are used for each listing (e.g., Posters, Backgrounds, Trailers, Character Portraits) are consistent and high-quality for a premium look on any media player/service. NFO files will be available to generate via the push of a button on each page.

Ichi Niche is not just the database however, as the site will feature written reviews for various types of content as well as our co-hosted podcast the Ichi Niche Podcast which covers various topics related to anime, manga, and gaming!

It is my hope that this site built as a fan is useful, informative, and/or entertaining to other fans of animation, comics, and gaming. If you have any positive, general, or constructive feedback, questions, or requests please reach out via the Contact Form page.
