Baka-db is an archive that contains data and information about animes, mangas, ova, movies, and other media related to otaku culture.
It was created to be a big and good source of data that anyone can use for any purpuse.
All the content of database are in catalog folder, each folder represents a project that contents the medias that the project may have.
So for example if we have an anime called "Naruto" and a manga called "Naruto" both of they will go in project folder "naruto", and also if exist another season, ova, movie, special, or anything that is related to the project "naruto" it will also be is this folder.
Also you will notice that all files in the database have a prefix like en-US or pt-BR, this tell what is the language that the item is written, this is to have the same item in multiple languages.
Ex:
en-US_naruto-tv-series.mdpt-BR_naruto-tv-series.md
