==Images==
Please try and add the following information, if known, when uploading an image:
* Source where an image was found.
* For anime screenshots, add the series, episode name, and the release the screenshot was taken from.
* For manga panels, add the series, chapter number, page number, and release the panel was taken from.
* For scans, add the name of the release it was scanned from and credit who did the scan, if known.
* If any edits were made to the image, state what they were (i.e. cropped, stitched screenshots, removed background).
* Keep the image sizes smaller, as the wiki code has errors generating thumbnails for images with large dimensions. For best results, keep the dimensions below 3000px.
