Yeah, each movie needs to have its own standalone basket of reviews.

Different movie, different ticket, (slightly) different staff, and definitely different opinion.

If MAL insists that the Infinity Castle Movies should be combined into one database, then all anime with the "Part 2/Cour 2" tags should be treated the same way.

Edit: After re-reading MAL rules, I believe they're intentionally doing this as a formality. Let's see if the database changes after Week 2/3 of October.

Agreed. Having them lumped together is obtuse and annoying.

Like Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel Movie, this should do the same.

Yeah they should do it. I am guessing they will separate it once more information is released about the next movie.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

@FZREMAKE they lumped AoT's Final films together so I wouldn't be so sure

I'm guessing that's their procedure for every series doing its final arc in movies. They count it as more "episodes".

Fate didn't got this coz heavens feel is more or less a standalone and not the final arc of a tv series

I used to not agree until I saw they'll come out in different years.

@Tyrecty But they changed it for Haikyuu when the new movie was announced.

It just makes no sense. This is the first time I've seen MAL do this with a movie trilogy. Even Heaven Feels is separate.

Yep, I agree aswell. Every entry should be separate because I think the second and third movies are gonna have way different ratings so it's all gonna be a jumbled mess. Not to mention for review purposes aswell, The entry just feels cleaner that way.

@Tyrecty Yeah because they weren't films, they were just 2 long episodes, 1 hour each

I just noticed this. Yup, this is atrocious. Embarassing even.

Indeed, especially since there'll probably be a ~2 year time gap between each movie.

@TheRealRouges
II.4 Movies
Theatrical releases will have separate entries unless:

  • all chapters are aired together. (e.g. 5 cm/s, Memories)
  • the gaps between subsequent movie premieres for all parts of an original or unadapted series are less than 3 months. (e.g. Wave!!: Surfing Yappe!!)
Maybe, I guess. They're probably doing this as a formality.

We can wait until week 3 of October since it'll be three months following the release in Japan.

I agree. The fact the movies will be out years apart means that this entry will be in our “watching” lists for a long time! Plus, searching for reviews will be difficult in the future.

Honesty, I don't know with MAL at all. By their own rules, this should be separated entries (against my own preference). On the other hand, you have Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System trilogy or Cyborg 009: Call of Justice that goes against the same rule dazedcowcow62 quoted.
