Abstract

: Streaming services are popular products that have established themselves as high consumption products, especially anime platforms - animated series developed in Japan. The term, which originally designates any animation in the country of origin, is used internationally for Japanese productions. This study takes as its object the anime platform Crunchyroll, from the perspective of Archivology, initially considering the description and indexing of an audiovisual document as essential practices to ensure efficient information retrieval. Thus, the general objective is to understand how anime on the Chunchyroll streaming platform are organized and indexed. With this perspective, the following specific objectives were developed: describe the informational structure of the platform; check how the content is organized and analyze the indexing of an intentional sample. To achieve the objectives listed, defining direct observation on the platform as a methodological strategy, to generate information that allows descriptive research to be carried out, with a qualitative approach. The analysis covers the informational structure of the site and the indexing of a sample of productions that feature Brazilian characters. It was found that the Crunchyroll streaming platform is a potential space to explore the theme of indexing moving images, highlighting the need for further studies in the field of Archivology on this topic. It was also noted that keyword indexing takes care of terms that are semantically closer to the content presented in the anime with a view to improving accuracy in information retrieval
