Regular & Puzzle Deck Donations

[credits_mod]

As Credits will be closing in June and there will be no more deck releases from July onwards, deck donations are now closed.

REGULAR & PUZZLE DECK DONATIONS
If you have images from OP/ED clips or an album/single cover which you would like to see as decks in Credits, here is the place to donate your images! We currently accept regular and puzzle decks. Special decks are only available for donation through Compilation or character single privileges. If you have the privilege to donate a special deck, please go here! As always, there are guidelines regarding deck donations so be sure to familiarize yourself with them!

RESOURCES
Firstly, not sure where to locate creditless OP/ED clips? Here are some useful links where you can start searching from!

✘ Torrent of Creditless OP/ED Collection
If torrenting is a viable alternative for you, feel free to take a look at this massive torrent chock full of creditless goodness. Thanks so much to indigotcg for sharing this link!

REGULAR DECKS
✘ OP/EDs of anime series and video games originating from Japan, insert songs, as well as official anime music videos [eg: Clamp in Wonderland] produced by companies in Japan are accepted. Vocaloid music videos are only acceptable if they're made by the companies. No fan-made productions, concerts, seiyuu events or OP/EDs from dubs or Western sources.
✘ Variant OP/ED clips are welcomed! For variant OP/ED clips with minimal differences, you may want to consider the option of combining the variants in one deck [eg: alright and himitsunokichi] or simply donating your favourite variant. Please be sure to offer deckname suggestions!
✘ Please provide a minimum of 30 different good-quality images for opening sequences, and 25 different good-quality images for ending sequences. The images should contain both scenery, characters and action scenes. Resizing for correct aspect ratio or flipping of mirrored images are fine, otherwise graphic alterations should be avoided. Don't take frame-by-frame screenshots of the entire OP/ED clip, please! We're making decks, not animated gifs.
✘ Please ensure that your images are in the correct aspect ratio! As a general rule, newer OP/EDs tend to be in 16:9 while older ones are in 4:3, but there are always exceptions so do look out for it. When in doubt, grab a screencap and ask a friend or a fellow fan to see if the image looks distorted. As an example, compare this image [in the original 4:3 ratio] to this image [in 16:9].
✘ Please also make sure that your images are not mirrored. As an example, compare this image [from the original clip] to this image [from a mirrored clip]. Series logos are the best way to check if the clip has been mirrored, especially for openings.
✘ Please be aware that deckmakers may ask you for more images if we are unable to locate the particular OP/ED online.
✘ Screencaps of non-credit/creditless OP/EDs are preferred but we recognize that not every OP/ED have creditless versions. Please make an effort to locate creditless OP/ED clips before using screencaps of the normal clips with credits. For very new OP/EDs, please make an effort to check and see if/when a creditless version will be released. Sites like CDJapan and Amazon Japan are good places to start - both have English pages and they tend to list down in the product page whether the Blu-ray/DVD will come with textless OP/EDs
✘ Please zip up all your images in a ZIP/RAR file and upload it to a filesharing site like Mediafire or Dropbox.

PUZZLE DECKS
✘ Covers of OSTs, insert songs, drama CDs and OP/ED singles of anime series and video games originating from Japan are accepted. No DVD/Blu-ray covers, fan-made art, or album/single covers from series of Western sources. Unfortunately, covers of character singles will not be accepted - but you can earn them here!
✘ OP/ED sequences which focus on one image are also accepted as puzzle deck donations! The sequences may not qualify as regular decks as, for example, they tend to show several parts of a full image shown at the end. In this case, we welcome the full image as a puzzle deck donation!
✘ For OP/ED singles/albums, we only accept covers which contain images relevant to the series [eg: characters, scenes, locations] - remember that we're an anigame-themed TCG, not a J-music game. If the OP/ED does not have enough scenes for 30 images, please consider donating the cover of the OP/ED single as a puzzle deck! When in doubt, just ask - we'll be happy to answer your questions.
✘ For insert songs and OSTs that are bundled together with Blu-ray discs, if the insert songs and OSTs have their own cover/images, you may donate those covers/images.
✘ Please provide one image that can be resized to 400x400 pixels. Please also ensure that your image is not ridiculously big to make things easier for our deckmakers! As a guideline, your image should not bigger than 2 MB.
✘ You can provide a direct link to the image uploaded on your own server or a free image host. Don't hot-link from other sites.

MONTHLY LIMITS
Each player can donate a maximum of 3 decks in one month. This can be 3 regular decks, 3 puzzle decks or any combination of both decks.
