True, I agree with you.

And it's actually the same season it's just that they're airing it with a gap in between because of production issues due to COVID.

So it's better to not make a separate entry for this.

Totally agreed.

I don't think they've actually said that the split is because of the virus? (pls prove me wrong)
But it seems pretty obvious.

Also "2nd season part 2" sounds and looks very dumb (unless they make it the official title of the 2nd cour).

For split cours they’ve always put them as separate entries, might as well try to be consistent unlike the naming conventions.

Many old split-cour anime do not have split entries, so the database is inconsistent as it is.

Also shouldn't anime like Railgun T and other delayed anime get second entries for the remainder of their episodes in this case, since about 12 weeks will have passed when their next episodes will air (12 weeks is the definition of a "season" in the db guidelines).

It says it is pending approval. I trust that they don't approve it since it is rather silly.

I take it that only Attack on Titan has this problem so far?

Railgun T was not postponed as whole, specific episodes were delayed. Same with most other shows like APPARE-RANMAN. This is an entirely different thing.


Some olde split-cour are not split into multiple entries because the rules didn't exist at the time. But after the rule were established they've been consistent. In order to remain consistent, this entry has to exist - the show needs to have split entries. It's a very simple thing and every major anime database will do the same thing.

I believe in opposite. Use rest of 2020 to continue making episodes, so there's no concurrency of airing during summer. This relieves pressure on production and so quality of episodes will be just as high if not higher than airing some episodes in summer. Then when January 2021 comes they'll just produce the remaining episodes like they are gonna do anyways. Based on this approach, start airing in January 2021 produces greater than/equal quality without any break in airtime.

But then you'd just end up waiting longer to see the entire series then you would with their current split core schedule. Currently all episodes would be finished airing by the end of March 2021, but with your plan we wouldn't get to see all the episodes until Summer 2021.

Plus not to mention that postponing production for another half a year altogether would be a financial burden for the studio and production company. They need to sell blu rays in order to make a profit from their show, and postponing it another 6 months could risk people becoming disintersted and poorly effect the blu ray sales. Logistically, splitting the cours is the best way to ensure quality and timeliness.

To preserve consistent last episode date, start airing season in fall then. That still ensures continuous airing while providing production more time to get episodes done before release. So then it becomes about financial burden of waiting 3 months. Is anyone actually gonna boycott the season for being released 3 months later? I personally don't think so. Everyone is hype for season. Splitting cour actually has negative effect on audience's memory, which might require production to make recap which takes more time (to make and release).

Resistance is futile.


Split-cours and different entries in MAL are the rule here since everyone started to care about "anime seasons", when they edited the rules.


It is simple: 1 cour of 12, 24, 52 episodes? ONE entry in MAL that will appear in "airing anime" over several seasons.

The cour is split? So in the seasons between the 1st cour and the 2nd cour, this anime will be absent, and that is why it will demand another entry in MAL.

It was a rhetorical question. of course not.

Are we going to count all the delayed anime as a split cour since they're not airing non-stop? It has been two months since the last Houkago Teibou Nisshi episode better make a new entry

Is not the complete series already complete?

I think they are spliting only because the Covid crisis, wishing that in 2021 the market and economy will return to normal levels.

The anime studios are funded by mershandising, and most of it is under serious reduction of revenues at the moment.

If they would just release the season on BD with Eng subs the day ep1 airs, they'd actually get me to buy seasons. Otherwise you just wait until it's over and watch it all at once. Cliffhangers are so fraught that I have to watch seasons that way.

and that's what's called being impatient. precisely because you are already waiting anyways, shouldn't hurt to have a season inbetween both parts. most long series do that nowadays and it's the norm for some reason: it's not only efficient from a production standpoint, but also keeps the hype for 1 more season rather than just making a 2-cour show and being done with it.

I think it's fine as long as we know it's coming. It's not uncommon for American television to take mid season breaks, so if we have to wait for a second half for anime, so be it.
