I think when we open VGMdb for a new category, whether that's manga, western animation or film scores (sooner or later somebody will come up with a reason to add Pirates of the Caribbean), it should come with some responsibilities, such as adding the lesser known albums and actively collecting information on unknown albums -- and of course a few dedicated members willing to team up and get it running.
Otherwise you have ten "manga" albums on their own and that's more of a burden rather than a benefit to the database.
Before VGMdb officially started there were already 1000+ albums in the db -- so when it went live there was a foundation to work on. Adding all these along the way would've made VGMdb pretty much dispensable in the first few years.
That being said I'd rather like to see more improvements made to the game music/game category and a focus on the things we're excellent at.
