Because it would change the underlying structure of AniDB this would require a total rewrite of AniDB. Therefore, it will not be done in the current version. When (if) AniDB gets a complete rewrite, it will most likely be included from the start.

This happens alot when series air 2 episodes at the same time; there is normally not a separate opening/ending, and the episodes flow seamlessly into eachother. If you add one of these files, when shadow-files are implemented, all episodes that are contained in the file will get added to your mylist even though you only have 1 actual file. Also, for animes that end in these kind of special episodes, the groups' status will change to '''completed''' instead of ''stalled'' as they are now.<br><small>[[Groupentries:Status|further information]]</small>

One subtitle file for one episode: the file will most likely be added to the episode with a comment telling which RAW(s) it belongs to.<br>'''2.'''
