[griffin]

I didn't realise that I hadn't completed the exclusives post (#6), so I've now done that, which should mean that everything released during 2017 globally, should be included somewhere.
(if you know something is missing, please let me know)

I have a small list of minor details I need to edit, but that should pretty much be it for the 2017 checklist - and the 2018 checklist is almost ready for release.

[griffin]

Movie section is now added.

[griffin]

Known exclusives and the TakaraTomy/HK sections now done.

Finally, it is complete... until the next update.
