So it looks like the 4 episodes have been split into their own entries now. Why?

Yeah, one entry embodying all episodes is better.

It's probably because they are being aired like 5 months apart.

Theatrical releases will have separate entries unless all chapters are aired together. (e.g. 5 cm/s, Memories)" (http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=141101 section II. c.)

It's the same for Broken Blade, Code Geas Boukoku no Akito etc...

Because MAL likes to be cluttered with unnecessary entries.

Too bad, they partly do it because they don't want an unnecessary entry staying on your watching list for years.

I don't really see a problem with that. The important thing is if it created a coherent and self-contained story, not the way and time it was released. E. g. I would never consider LotR a 3 separate movies because it doesn't make any sense. MAL guidelines and DB should be updated to stop with splitting everything because maintaining your list and finding anything becomes an annoying hurdle. Now ever series has one extra OVA/BD episode, some shorts and even web extras so what's the point of making 3-4 entries for one show. Same way we see more and more 4-6 part movies or OVA released every few months so who in his right mind want to have them separately and rate them separately when they are just one story.

In short: MAL functionality + AniDB way of handling DB please.

This way we can easily increase our e-penis by adding four entries instead of one!

They would have split it up if they could. Arise is in movies so it's easier. And I said partly.
