Biography from TheMovieDB

Takafumi Adachi (足立 たかふみ) is the Japanese creator of the Metal Saga, consisting of Metal Fight Beyblade (Beyblade: Metal Fusion), Metal Fight Beyblade Explosion (Beyblade: Metal Masters), Ballet Hero Fantasy Dan's adventure feat. Steven McRae, and Metal Fight Beyblade 4D (Beyblade: Metal Fury), He also writes and illustrates the manga of the Metal Saga. Adachi has ties in Duel Masters, another franchise created by Tomy, in which Adachi created a manga unrelated to the main storyline of it. Also, while Metal Fight Beyblade was under development back in 2008, Adachi was asked by Tomy and quote, "Make a new Beyblade series unrelated to the first one." With this, Adachi quickly revived Beyblade and had it become even more popular than the original.  Adachi also has worked on other manga such as, D.M. Fighter Honoo as the author in 2006 and Kung-Fu Panda as the artist in 2008.  Adachi specializes in the shonen-type of anime and manga.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
