| Can't we just stop making new entries for part 2s already? Now so many anime come in parts like Jojo, AoT, SpyxFamily and it's just pointless. Barely anything gets changed (except for aiting dates)so there's was no need to do this. |

Barely anything gets changed (except for aiting dates)so there's was no need to do this. studio who animate the series need time to animate so they don't mess up that's why they divide a season into parts so we can't complain about animation I wasn't talking about the release schedule at all, it's understandable that everything needs time. I'm talking about the database entry on the website. Why split it yet for another anime, why couldn't they just add an additional release date on the Second season entry for when the rest of the episodes just come out. Just look at jojo part 6, it's split into 3 entries on MAL, when there's barely any change except for release dates. Leave it at 1 entry and which has all the episodes in one place. |

_rahul___ said: That is not really a good excuse especially for this case, it is pretty clear that there has been a steady decline in the capabilities that anime studios have, as a few years ago we could easily get 24-50 episodes for a series and a decade ago more than 100 episodes, while now they are struggling to get 6-12 episodes out without having breaks for years, and splitting them into smaller and smaller parts, and people end up forgetting about the series and not following them at all (like if you compare the views between stone ocean parts its one example)zera_scarlet said: Can't we just stop making new entries for part 2s already?

| Absolutely. Adding another entry for the same season is pointless. |
| Here's where you can find me: https://bio.link/captainfahim |
| Per the MAL Anime Database Guidelines: II.3.1 If a TV series is split into two parts and at least one season (~12 weeks) falls between the last episode of the first part and the first episode of the second part, the second part will be treated as a second season and the anime will have two entries. This is done to organize currently airing series that have large gaps between seasons so entries are not left as currently airing for months on users' lists (e.g. White Album, Asura Cryin). Thus, if a similar gap occurred with a series that has already finished airing, that entry will not be split now (e.g. Cardcaptor Sakura, Big O). |

| Yeah, I don't really see the point and it just confuses those who watch it later on |

It would be correct but look at Mistfit at demon academy and Nier automata., they have been delayed without any announcement of when they will return. It's just an inconsistent rule that was brought up back in the days when studios didn't go on breaks so often, be it production issues or the pandemic like it is now and just went forward even though the episode would turn out bad, especially action shonens. |
| I think there shouldn't have been any split, but whatever. Consistency in listing ONAs has been funny for a while, so one shows are divided into parts, and some aren't (even if a break between episodes is shorter in their case, vide Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya by Netflix). |

| @Elfezen i don't think it's due to decline in capabilities, it's the fact that they were being overworked before and now employee welfare is more focused on than before |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| I agree. Breaking a season into parts and more entries is unnecessary. I always prefer complete seasons along with others like movies, OVA, spin-off, etc. it makes researching a show easier this way. |

| It still didn't reach the mess of AOT titles. At least for now. |

soupx360a said: fucking christ i hate this website the answer to this question is always a resounding NO they definitely did NOT need a new separate entry for this. JUST MERGE IT lmao I didn't even realize I already complained in this thread above No problem, maybe the more people post their disappointment about a third of the shows that come out having a 2nd/3rd part for a couple more episodes the more will the mods notice. |
zera_scarlet said: the more will the mods notice. The mods are not the ones choosing the rules tho. (They are literally random users with 1 or 2 privilege for their roles) And the admins really does not care about what the users want. You can just take a look at the Suggestions subboard to see that they don't even look what the users says. (The Support is also run by random users , and a few occasional mods) |

| At least I wish if they use the correct episode number for Discussion thread title Season 2 Part 2 episode 4 for example should be called Season 2 Episode 14 because that how it is listed in Netflix. It makes easier to know which discussion thread belong to the episodes I watched |

| @thepath Agreed, but it can't be helped. Record of Ragnarok S2 is another example of weird decisions regarding new entries, resulting in inconsistencies in the anime database. On one hand you can hear quite often how the official listing is important when creating an entry which, in example, splits season into two. But you also have wacky situations like this one. This season is treated as one on Netflix and it ain't listed as two separate seasons or parts or whatever. Few months break between the releases of each batch of episodes shouldn't be even anything decisive here, that'd justify such treatment of this season. It looks even more ridiculous when you check out Attack on Titan: The Final Season - Kanketsu-hen. Way longer break, separate listing on official sources of each special episode (minimovie format), but nah, no split was done to it. |
