Hello everyone,

I'm having some trouble sticking the correct crew function on some Japanese crew for animation features. Could you guys help me out? I'll give the translation (or explanation of what that person does) of the function and I'd need to find out the correct DVDP crew function? Here goes:

- Background artist (person who draws & paints backgrounds) => Art Director? or Other?
- Author (mangaka who made the manga the anime is based on) => Original Material by? or Original story by?
- music by => Composer?

Also, a question regarding studios/production companies:
- "with the collaboration of Fuji TV" => Studio or Media company? Or not profile at all?

Those are some of the problems I've encountered so far. It's not always easy since some Japanese terms don't fit exactly in the predesigned 'boxes' of DVDP or their Hollywood counterparts. So any feedback would be welcome!

Hey Taro,

This is what I would say:

Background Artist = Other
Author = Original Material by
Music by = Composer

Collaboration with Fuji TV = Studio

hope that helped

Agree with Donnie completely.
