Hi, community!
In order to have stable information, I created lists of casts directly from the end credits from each episode. I am sharing it here, in case anybody wants to see it (since it is directly from the end credits, it is all in Japanese). Feel free to comment on the list if you found any mistakes, etc.!!
I just finished entering all the casts for season 1 and season 2. I am planning to add season 3 as they come out!
Thanks!

That's a good and hard work! Thank you! Anyway, I'd like to point out that the main characters should be added in the regular cast section. Unfortunately, there's no way at the moment to know wich episodes each main character appears in.

Hi @Hebotsuki !!
I see
But what is the demarcation of "main casts" and "guest casts" anyways?? For Fruits Basket, I definitely know Tōru Honda or Yuki Sōma should be considered "main casts". But how about Ritsu Sōma? If you are familiar with this series, you know that he doesn't appear many times but I feel like he is considered as main casts (like in the official website). That kind of doubt was the only reason I add some main casts to guest casts...
Anyways, I know you are correct. I read the bible to this too. Let's hope TMDb can select which main casts were in each episode in the future!!

Okay. For season 3, this problem is fixed. Characters that are on the character page of the official website are all added as season regular character. Somebody can do season 1 and 2 but as a person who added all the guests, I warn that it is so much work... 😏 Also technically there is no "wrong information" except the fact that the main characters are considered guests.
But if anybody is going to fix it, I can guarantee that my database is correct! 😅 https://tvpi.sntmse.com/en/fruba
Good luck and sorry about this 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️

Hi @SM-SYaKo
You don't need to sorry. I'm just a contributor, not a moderator or someone with some kind of power to decide how things should be done. I think you had made a great job with this series, and I have seen you have also contributed a lot in other series too. That's deserve my aknowledgement. I think that it could be as it is for now until we can select which episode each main character appears in. As you say, rearrange all the two first seasons would take a lot of work, and maybe it isn't worth the time.
Yeah, sometimes it's difficult to say which character belongs to the regular cast or to the guest cast. I usually take the character page of the official webpage as a reference and, of course, being familiar with the series helps a lot. I prefer to have the main characters in the regular cast section, even if this character has a few appearances. I have seen some animes with only one or two characters in the regular cast section just because the other main character don't appear in all or almost all the episodes. I don't think regular cast equals to an appearence in all episodes, but I guess this is just my opinion.
Anyway, it's frutrating not being able to select the correct episodes appareances for every character of the series, let's hope in the future there'll be a solution.

I totally agree about this, we also talked about this in this discussion, if you two wanna read more about it. The wording for the season regulars used to be different, so I also got confused and made the same mistake as you, @SM-SYaKo, so don't worry too much about it. But it seems like the word "Preferably" was at least added back into the bible.
On another note, I just wanted to thank you two for being great contributors! Anime entries often used to lack crew and guest star info and because of both of your efforts, this is changing! :)
