This focus file searches across databases for Japanese media, including anime, manga, live action shows and movies, light novels, web novels, and visual novels.

jpdb.io is a little of a weird inclusion, but I think it will increase coverage and isn't too out of place.

I wanted to include http://www.jmdb.ne.jp but Mojeek doesn't appear to have indexed it because it's purely available in Japanese.

I uh, hope you can squash this into one commit, because this commit series was created purely with Github's web interface and I couldn't manage to get the icon and .focus file in one commit...

Re-reading the guidelines, I see there might be an issue with this bullet point:

not search across x-rated adult content

VNDB indexes tens of thousands of visual novels. Thousands of those releases are R18+ and contain NSFW images hidden behind a NSFW prompt. myanimelist.net also indexes over two thousand R18+ Direct-to-DVD releases which are...uh, they're porn. Same deal with Anilist for anime and manga, but I don't think Anilist lets you see R18+ content if you're not logged in.

On this one we've elected to leave it open for the moment, as it is possible that further comments from other people looking at this repository could help a decision to be made. Overall I wouldn't want us to not roll it in or roll it in without some kind of discussion/understanding where other people are with it.

It's always possible to drop myanimelist.net. It does index R18+ content but it only shows censored R18+ show/manga posters. VNDB shows lots of uncensored R18+ content, but it hides them behind a prompt. If MAL gets dropped, Anilist is a 1:1 replacement that won't let you see R18+ content without a login (as far as I can tell), but there isn't a replacement for VNDB.
