Item: My Dress-Up Darling: Season 1 - Wakana Gojo, 15 Years Old, Teenager

Language: en-US

Type of Problem: Incorrect_content

Extra Details: Here we go, once again... S01E13 doesn't exist according to the official site, https://bisquedoll-anime.com/1st/story/ and at, https://bisquedoll-anime.com/story/ it clearly indicates that Season 2 starts with #13. This episode should be numbered S02E01(13) or S02E13.

For Solo Leveling S02, which is numbered the same way as this show, raze464 asked for suggestions on how to fix the rules and I suggested the following ideas, partially quoted at the bottom. I received zero response from raze464 but the suggestions apply to this show as well.

So how is this going to get fixed, has TMDB actually listened to the community and talked internally about changing the rules? I don't think anyone, mods and community members, want more problem reports with 10+ pages of comments but until changes are made they sadly are probably still going to happen.

Isn't this suppose to be a community supported website, well listen to the community and fix it.

How would you change the rules, then? Please keep in mind that TV anime entries are not exempt from the regular TV guidelines, which say the first episode of a season is always episode 1 and this absolutely cannot be changed.

I have suggested before (maybe not for this show but absolutely for multiple other shows and have got no response from mods in return) two different options for the first episode of the second season: First, S02E01 (13)You Aren't E-Rank, Are You. The (13) could be added as another data point to season/episode (more work on the back end) or it could be included as a part of the episode name. This shows that it is the start of a new season AND that the designers have continuous numbering.

Second, S02E13 You Aren't E-Rank, Are You. This is the most accurate way to follow the designers intent but you would need to modify the guidelines so seasons can start with numbers other than 1.

I lean towards the first option, while it's a compromise in accuracy (the official website doesn't list a S02E01) it does represent all the intended data, season separations and episode numbering. Both options don't loose any data, primarily season artwork, but the first seems to me to be easier to implement.

As far as rules that cannot be changed please see your own previous comment,

Giving you guys an update: moving forward, new episodes of Urusei Yatsura should be added as combined segments (i.e. the April 19, 2024 episode should be a single entry titled "Asuka Returns / A Stormy Date (1)" on TMDB) and previous segments will be merged. Travis, the admin, ultimately decided during an internal discussion about X-Men '97 that these types of segments shouldn't be split since that's not how they were originally released.

The episode guidelines have their own separate "Anime" section because anime is done differently than regular (western) tv shows so it does need special consideration and we just want you to reconsider that fact that the designers season separations are JUST as important as their episode numbering.
