My submitted Lazuli sprite doesn't have any "Any Origin" type. It was supposed to be
Original Character. Without the Origin type, sprites like that have no chance of being selected in the database, iff. the origin type drop-down menu is specified.
What I suggest: Create a "No origin \ Various" option, or add an origin to all submitted sprites that doesn't have one yet. The problem with the latter one is that future submissions should have consistency in their origin type, so having a "Various" option for all sprites that don't have an origin would be a better choice, I think. What do you think?

Also, I'm not sure if you guys are experiencing this too, but there is something wrong with how the sprite's text information's alignment is shown.
Take a look at this image:
It's also worth noting that some sprites that should share origins don't.
For example, last time I used the Database a week ago, I noticed some of the Final Fantasy VII crew had their origin listed as "Final Fantasy VII" and others something like "Final Fantasy 7". Since choosing the Final Fantasy VII option from the dropdown only shows those whose origins are the former, not all the Final Fantasy VII sprites are even being displayed when searched through by origin.
I'm willing to bet other Origin categories also have this issue, and that there may be other Origins that aren't even selectable off the Origins drop-down menu (based on the fact that only one version of "Final Fantasy VII" was selectable, I'm lead to believe that the Origin box is filled by hand and not via a routine and thus subject to human error).
Unrelated - is having both FFT: Newtype and FFT: Parted Ways as separate Origins really necessary when they're both essentially the same project?
If I had the ability to fix the home page it would already be done, that thing needs a complete update and is VERY outdated.
Not even really referring to the sprite section.
