I have fond memories of Encarta.

It is almost as though it is trying to destroy its own credibility by not allowing editors to cite from anything that the author of a fictional work says directly.

They have some basic information on one of those list types of articles but you won't find an article for a lot of main characters unless they're popular outside of just the media. Like Goku.

I do use it often probably because it's usually one of the first results that appear in my searches.
