Sources and methods

The news content on courseason is compiled from published feeds and indexes of specialist publications covering the cour, the twelve-week broadcast season that structures the medium. These sources are selected for their consistent coverage of the industry in the North American market. Each story is processed with automated assistance to extract the core facts, which are then rewritten into a concise summary. The original publication is always credited as the source of the report.

When a fact appears in only one publication, it is treated as a single-source claim. Such information is included but presented without the corroboration given to facts reported by multiple outlets. This approach ensures reports are comprehensive while indicating the level of verification.

The site's reference pages, such as those for anime series, seasons, studios, and people, are built from stable, verified facts. Each page centres on a facts table containing information confirmed across multiple reports or official channels. A single credited photograph, sourced from official materials, accompanies these data. These pages are designed as persistent reference points, distinct from the flow of news.

All news coverage and reference pages are refreshed automatically. News is updated continuously as new feeds are processed. Reference pages are reviewed and updated on a scheduled cycle to incorporate new, stable information such as cast additions or official broadcast dates, ensuring they remain accurate. The entire courseason site operates through this combination of automated aggregation, summarisation, and systematic fact-based curation.
