| Mod bias? Why does this anime get differentiated with and have it's recap episode split into a separate entry? Many series have recap episodes that are left in the original season so why make a change with this one? |
 |
| Totally absurd, desu. There are one hundred series out there with recap episode, but only AoT recap gets it's own page. |
| It's probably the same as Bakemonogatari. http://myanimelist.net/anime/6948/Bakemonogatari_Recap |
 |
| The database is inconsistent. |
 |
| Yeah it seems the shows with a lot of fanboys like Bake and this get preferential treatment. It's still an episode of the show, it will count towards the original episode count, if it isn't aired separately it shouldn't get separated from the season IMO. On a site based around ratings whoever is making these decisions shouldn't be so biased, either do them all, or do none of them. |
|
| It's separated because it's a ''special'' not a regular episode. But I don't know why they don't separate them for all anime. What is the benefit that fans get from this? ''preferential treatment'' Eh?. You seem like a petty person. |
|
| For the same reason that all this: http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=recap Not for a preferential treatment, that is stupid. I don't think that Bible Black fans has preferential treatment just because Bible Black: New Testament Recap is in the database |

They both counted as episode 16 of the first and second series. Thus, they are included in the episode count of the series and are not special episodes. There is no inconsistency here. Special episodes (recap or not) get their own entries; regular episodes do not. You may find the Anime DB Guidelines to be an interesting read. Or next time you can just ask first. |

| Well I'm just going by the only western official news out there. http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/news/2013-06-08/attack-on-titan-episode-14-to-be-a-recap "The July issue of Gakken's Animedia magazine is reporting on Monday that episode 14 of the Attack on Titan anime will be a recap compilation episode. The "Ano Hi Kara" (From That Day Onward) episode will air on July 6." Any chance of linking me where you guys got the information this is a special and not part of the episode count? |
|
| Maybe just the fact that the recap is the episode 13.5 and the next week is the 14? |

| It's generally better to not trust ANN without verifying their information first. The official website and schedule are often better sources of information, although the schedule isn't always up-to-date. |
| Cheers, I'll shut up now. |
|
| It's because of the 13.5. MAL could add an extra episode to make it 26 but that would be weird since it's not episode 14. Maybe after you click + on 13 it should go to 13.5 instead of 14? Well, a +1 to my completed number I guess. |

It's so obvious, people! Why are you making a scandle? -.- Official sources are always right. Look at the first episode of Sailor Moon S... It's a recap of Sailor Moon R, but Toei Animation included it on the normal schedule - it's episode 1, not 0.5 or something like that! In this case, it's episode 13.5, not 14. The next week's episode will be called episode 14. Is everyone clear now? |

| I don't know if anyone already went over this but they split off any episodes of a show that do not have any new footage. A recap that has any new scenes or monologue/dialogue is not split because it's providing new content even if only a small bit. This has been part of the system here for awhile and this is why you'll see other shows with recaps that are not split - because those recaps probably have a scene or two, or a few lines, of new material. |
