I use Sonarr, but it does mess up sometimes for shows even when you mark it as an anime to use absolute numbering. It most often happens with older shows that have lots of OVAs that are sometimes listed as episodes and sometimes listed as specials, depending on the database. So, if you are having Sonarr manage your downloads, then it can grab the wrong episode if it’s database (I think TVDB) and the release (usually using MAL numbering) disagree.
Comment on Shoko Server not recognizing any anime

Am I the only one here successfully using Sonarr to take care of Anime? Sonarr has the ability to sort by absolute/relative episode you just need a profile for it.
If I really need to bother with any renaming, I’ll use “RenameMyTVSeries” to mass-rename things, and drop them in the folder where Sonarr wants; or usually just have Sonarr grab the anime itself and apply its renaming rules.

I’ve never had a problem with how Sonarr handles anime. It works just as well as anything else.

Jellyfin is going to want:
This is the main problem I have right now. The example I gave in the post for example. I currently have to list them as entirely separate entries, both with season 01. Not one entry with season 01 or season 02, because that’s not how it is in AniDB or Anilist. As I said in another comment, I may checkout Sonarr if Shoko doesn´t work out.

I don’t understand why you’re naming stuff that way. You use a single UWB(2014) folder, because the year represents the date the show started. There is no UBW(2015).

I’m naming it that way, because otherwise Jellyfin can’t handle it properly for me. Season 2 will not show up with the proper metadate. My guess is that because 2014 and 2015 are two separate entries in both Anilist and AniDB and not grouped together under UBW, that it wants it that way in Jellyfin too.

You’re causing your own issues here. I use AniDB and everything too - and it works just fine as a single series, with a single year, with all 25 episodes in a Season 1 folder with proper metadata download and everything.

Grouping seasons into a series folder doesn’t work well in some cases, because that’s not the way they are released in Japan. A new season is (most of the time) effectively an entire new show entry. Show seasons are mostly a north american thing. No matter which software you use, there’s always going to be some minor issues if you group seasons into one entry.

In instances like this, you simply use a single Season 1 folder, with absolute naming for episodes. It’s really that simple.
