Not stale.
Joining in - this is an issue any updates on this? edited Thought I may elaborate a little. I tried to created a different sonarr connection from overseer and enter details of the anime recommendations under the "TV option" it still tagged it as Series Type: Anime - resulting the inability to search for old animes that are divided into seasons. (as season packs) - old animes usually no longer maintain downloads per episode, and only exist as a season pack
Description
There's a whole magnitude of reasons why the "Anime Series Type" implementation at sonarr is a whole can of worms, both for older shows (naruto, one piece, pokemon etc.) and newer shows (mostly using normal season and episode numbering). Please see here for further info:
https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/6495
The tl;dr version is:
Desired Behavior
Allow users to have a default setting for Anime Series Type. Allow users to choose 'Standard' as the default setting for Anime https://i.imgur.com/D5ZNdF8.png
The most popular tracker for Anime: AnimeBytes does not use single episodes for non-Airing Anime. Season pack searches should be the main focus when requesting seasons via Overseerr. Everything could be finished in a matter of just 4-5 searches per Season, rather than 100 searches for 10 episodes.
The other option:
Allow users to not automatically search for Anime on Sonarr, so that the user can fulfil the request manually. Anime is extremely hard to get right automatically and due to Overseerr hardcoding the Anime implementation and forcing users to use Anime Series Type, we're stuck with the bad implementation from sonarr.
