"Sentenced to Be a Hero" publishing date

And here we are once more. Two times I've tried on the regular way, both times my request for a change was denied.

"Sentenced to Be a Hero"/"Yûsha-kei ni Shosu Chôbatsu Yûsha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku" ( https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt32536168/reference/ ) was first published on January 3rd 2026. Not in 2025. Nowhere and never in 2025. There is no evidence, that there was a public screening prior to the official date of broadcasting of the first episode on japanese TV on this date. The only place in the Internet who sais this is IMDb (and those, who are taking their data from IMDb). 

It is interesting, that "We [= IMDb] did not capture a specific reason during processing." The reason is as simple as clear: the evidence! I gave the proof for it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentenced_to_Be_a_Hero

What more? IMDb is usually so strict about this. If something was previously released at a mini-festival, that date always applies, instead of a regular release date. Why are they so determined to keep an incorrect date here, one that is apparently completely undocumented?

It's simply no fun and discourages further participation when you constantly encounter such obstacles and absurdities. It's incredibly frustrating. And it demonstrates a lack of value on contributors' time when you dismiss even proven facts as supposedly unproven or incomprehensible. You constantly wonder why you're doing all this over and over again. My to-do list is still very long – but I keep hesitating to tackle it further because I know that, roughly speaking, one in ten submissions is arbitrarily rejected.
