A basic, spoiler-free description of the entry.
When an entry is first created that is related to another work of a similar type, a simple description like "The second season of Hibike! Euphonium." may be added. This should be removed when a more appropriate description has been added to the entry.
It must be in English and a source should be provided if you took it from somewhere, so long as it's from one of the creditable types of sources below.

💡 TIP
Descriptions use HTML.
Please use <br>
for line breaks.
Links can be added as so: <a href="website">NAME</a>

<aside> ⚠️ WARNING The list of non-creditable sources is not exhaustive and only illustrates the bigger examples. Anything not specifically mentioned as a creditable source should be considered non-creditable by default. If you are really unsure, however, please explain the situation in your Submission Sources & Notes.
If you don't have a creditable source, you can still use the description you have, but no credit should be given.
