Yeah, a quick skim of the anime list comes up above 75,000 entries (2,500+ pages of 30 results).

From main page under "AniDB Statistics":

> 13898 Anime

The new site does seem to have more entries, but I haven't checked what the differences are exactly (e.g. are some things counted in one but not in other). For example the table shows 36 movies from 1910s, in AniDB there is only 26 (search with start time between 1.1.1910 and 1.1.1920, the only entries are movies).

Huh. Maybe they have a row for each translated name too? 5x more due to that wouldn't be crazy.
Likely. Do you have "hide synonyms" on or off? With it on I saw 2301 pages of results (last item being #69055), with it off the number I found 12479 entries. Not sure what that ~1400 difference compared to stats is though.
That's the porn. There's a separate option to show/hide 18+ shows.
There's something not obvious because it requires login... it has entries for several files for each episode.

The files are fansubs/rips/etc. Each file has hashes and information about container and the streams in it (codec, resolution, bitrate for video, also the language for audio and subs). Also whether the ep is censored if applicable, whether it's a dvdrip/bdrip/streamrip... a ton of information.
