TMDB for Anime is Idiotic

[NyhTF (Nyh)]

TMDB seems it will never change it’s idiotic rule that if a show reports sequencial number it will be placed all into one season. EVEN IF IT REPORTS SEASONS.

The mod from TMDB raze464 seems to be a stubbon idiot. He does this to animes like Re:Zero STORY｜TVアニメ『Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活』オフィシャルサイト even if it has listed seasons but then breaks his OWN RULE for shows like One Piece One Piece (TV Series 1999- ) — The Movie Database (TMDB) where he has seasons and sequencial numbers.

Please this has been a requested problem for years and multiple times. Get in contact with TMDB to change their Anime Bible rules or change DBs for anime.

TMDB Anime Series

TMDB’s handling of anime seasons is becoming an issue since they classify seasons that don’t reset episode numbers as a single continuous season. I asked a moderator, “Would One Piece be considered one continuous giant season, given that episode 1122 is still counted from the original release?” and received the following response: “As indicated in the content reports for that series, it should be merged by the administrator into a single season.” The longer Trakt relies on TMDB, the more often…

Justin replied to this one 2 years ago and said it was an issue but nothing has been done!!:

Another source for animes

Please consider another database for animes as source than that damn tmdb. They’re freaking useless when it comes to animes. Their anime rules are a joke. No matter how many users are complaining.

That’s not true though. It’s on some list to merged with a tool or in the backend eventually. But that lost has been going on for years sadly.

Yes i’ve heard this awell.
HAHA, imagine using the new trakt lite for One Piece once it’s merged.
You’d be scrolling to the right for 10 minutes.
To see how that feels go to Sazae-san: Trakt Lite

This has been discussed repeatedly - there’s simply nothing Trakt can do about it for now, they have no control over TMDB’s (stupid, I agree) decisions.

The only solution we have for now is to use alternate orders (which are curiously only available on the website). For Re:Zero see Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-: Seasons - Trakt.

This is correct. Unfortunately there isn’t anything we can do about it due to TMDB’s rules. The alternate orders are the solution for now.
