AniDB used to be unable to cope well with files containing more than 1 episode. This is no longer the case, but unfortunately there are still remnants left behind from when it couldn't. Those include split-episode files as well as multi-episode files which we will cover here. Nowadays, we follow the how to add new episodes-guideline exclusively.
There were 2 ways these files were added to the DB:
Case 1 - The release is done completely in multi-episode files
If a group releases all episodes in multi-episode files (e.g. Future Boy Conan), these files were added to specials O (Other Episodes)
- Episode[s] xx-yy
- where x and y can, if necessary, be followed by (Part s of t) to indicate split episodes
Examples
- the file contains episode 1,2 and 3
- O1: Episodes 1-3
- 3 Episodes got merged by the R1 company and then later cut by the dvd-ripper
- O1: Episodes 1-3 (Part 1 of 2)
- O2: Episodes 1-3 (Part 2 of 2)
Case 2 - Only a few files are done in multi-episode files
If a group released just some files that contained multiple episodes (e.g. the multi-episodes in Prince of Tennis). These files were added to the first episode they contained and a filecomment in this form was added:
- Joint episodes xx-yy
