Reported Problem for Specials
posted by SupriyoSTAFFMOD on August 13, 2020 at 7:20 AM
Item: Specials
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: A month ago Special Episode 26 - Special Episode 29 were deleted because they were considered to be duplicates of these:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/532321-re-zero-kara-hajimeru-isekai-seikatsu-memory-snow
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/566451-re-zero-kara-hajimeru-isekai-seikatsu-hyouketsu-no-kizuna
where Special Episode 26 & Special Episode 28 were thought to be the duplicates of the above links and Special 27 & Special Episode 29 were the Specials of the previous two.
But there has been a mistake. Instead of deleting the Special Episodes from this series, the movies (Above Links) should have been deleted instead. That's because both these are not movies but rather OVA(s) which had a Limited Theatrical release in Japan.
Proof for Memory Snow:

Proof for Frozen Bond:

So can anyone please add 4 blank episodes in the Special Section of this series. I'll add the details myself.
...and delete the duplicates (First Two Links).

This is why the specials were removed. Content originally released in theater is not, by definition, an original video animation.

Just for a better understanding can you tell me which is considered more important, How the episodes are released or What it is considered by the Official Sources.
