Yeah, the batch releases might be tricky. I understand that there is a second batch set to be released later for this show. Things didn’t work out the way I thought they would with this batch, so I am going to do some digging and figure out what happened. I suspect that the airtimes were not listed in the AniList api the way I thought they would be. So, I will have to take a look at the api and figure out how to parse it for these.
In any case, I hope that I can have something in place before the next batch comes!

I wanted to follow up on this as I have gotten a chance to dig through AniList’s api to figure out if there is a better way to handle this for the next batch.
Unfortunately, the api only lists an airing time for episode 13 and not any of the other episodes of the batch. This means that rikka will only automatically have the ability to create a thread for episode 13. There is some time before the next batch drops (July 17th it looks like). I am going to poke around with a way to allow rikka to create additional episode threads as requested.
My idea right now is to basically create a special way to request threads via private message that bypasses the usual checks rikka performs, but just for this show. It would make things a little ripe for abuse if there was a bad actor out there, but for just one show, I think I can accept the risk.

Thanks. Not sure what’s the best way to handle it, this show didn’t seem to get enough discussion last season to have threads for every episode. Appreciate you trying to work on a solution.
