Gekitotsu, and now also Sakubou as has just been announced, are following Seiran's airing model, coming out in the form of three "movies" which still count as just one cour of anime, but the MAL database has them as one entry each (as it rightfully and sensibly should). Yet Seiran remains a cluttered mess of three disjointed entries for no real reason, except that someone made that call when they were starting to come out. Shouldn't Seiran 2 and 3 be removed, and merged with 1, to represent the second season as a whole? Would make things much more orderly, I think... It could cause some issues with things like the transfer of reviews and such, but still I think it'd be a good idea in the long run.

Also, on a somewhat related note, for what it's worth, I think to maintain cohesion in people's anime lists, the entries should follow a "season" naming format. Like so:

"Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These 2nd Season - Seiran"
"Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These 3rd Season - Gekitotsu"
"Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These 4th Season - Sakubou" etc.

Because otherwise the alphabetical order is going to make a right mess of things.

There was a post asking a similar question and a mal mod said that they will be merged at a later date

Cool, thank you! I did look around to see if such an issue had been raised anywhere already, but I guess I just missed it.

What the hell, I updated my entry last month and now it's split into three once again? This is dumb.

Why is Seiran the only one with 3 entries? What makes it different from Gekitotsu and Sakubou?

Si they fixed it, and then they put it back as 3 movies? It's a pain to have that many entries only about Seiran whe the other parts are only 1 entry.

Have to agree with everyone else here. This should be single 12 episode entry. I can only assume they split it again due to some sort of technical issue, but even if there is a valid reason it's still incredibly annoying having it split the way it is now.

Honestly I think even calling it a 12 episode 'movie' is kind of dumb. Surely there should be a generic 'series' tag for episodic releases that don't otherwise fit into the usual 'TV', 'OVA', etc categories?
