It says it has 11 episodes, but they were 12. Can it be fixed?

"Almost all of episode 12, aired on December 18, 2022, featured only live-action footage and is therefore not included in the episode count."

Hellshake Yano episode was 100% live action, which is a nono for this database.

They might aswell remove the hellshake yano episode at this point then.

Oh well, that's sad. I think MAL should be a proper database and have a good episode list, who cares if it cheats on 10 minutes of real anime watching.
Thanks for replying!

Except this database is for anime works, not individual episodes.  The series as a whole is a work of anime, and the series contains 12 episodes.  If there were an entry page for each individual episode, then sure exclude episode 12, but episode 12 is a part of a greater whole, which MAL is inaccurately representing as having only 11 episodes.  MAL should be a honest database that contains factual information, not one that operates on the arbitrary opinion of its administrators.

Yeah, it’s kinda crap if they are not including the last episode….if they are going to include stuff like music videos, which I find odd to include in a list of anime, this should be fine.

Hell, there was anime in that episode and it was longer than some of the “short animations” that are on the site.

It’s kinda like, there was an episode of South Park that parodied the ‘I shouldn’t be alive’ series, and half of it was done in live action. Was it not an episode of South Park because it wasn’t animated? Is there one less episode counted now? Of course not. And it should stand that there are 12 episodes of this anime.

Hellshake Yano IS animation just not ink on cells. It's creative use of sketchbook, the coils, overlay and ANIMATION OF THE PAGE :|
There are 12 episodes.

Also, a second Kinen special was released more than 3 years ago (it even had Hellshake Yano, ffs) but MAL just turns away like it doesn't exist. Same with works like the Hisoka one-shot from Hunter X Hunter. I'm not surprised anymore.

Is there at least a place to report it? Rabble rouse, if you would?

Nice, thanks for letting me know! Now if they only fixed other bs like sepparating JoJo's anime on 3 entries coz it wasnt all released at the same time, marking oneshots as mangas, and fixing manga chapter counts it'd be pretty nice.

They did the same thing with Gal & Dino sort of. A 12 episode anime, but MAL lists it as 11 minute episodes. I go to watch the series and each episode is actually 23-24 minutes. That's because 1/2 of each episode has a live-action segment. It's such a dumb way to put in the database. What am I supposed to do, skip to the credits as soon as the animation is done? That's not watching a series, that's just looking up clips at that point.

That's pretty sad. Only a really big nerd would care about the exact minutes of Real Japan Animation™ watched, instead of accurately represent a series on a database.

I think its more valuable for a database to list 12 episodes, instead of 11 animated episodes (which should be 10 because they should then also exclude Hellshake Yano). It's not a good desicion, i dont know why they made it.

There is a section for the forum where you can request changes to the database, which is just about the only option available, but it seems they're just willfully ignoring requests to adjust the episode count.
