I decided I would spend a little time on a short anime, around 12 episodes long. To my surprise, the advanced anime search doesn't have a feature that lets me find one. I think it would be awesome if the users could search for anime with more specific searches.

Search the database for:
- specific episode/chapter/volume amounts.
- titles which have/don't have an adaptation.
- titles which have/don't have a sequel/prequel.

This would make it a whole lot easier for a user to find an anime that they have time to watch. I think this would also make lesser known anime/manga easier to find.

Searching by episode count would not be very useful because it would turn up a bunch of split cours. Nobody starts My Hero Academia expecting to watch only 13 episodes.

You could search for 13 episodes + no prequel/sequel then. I think the suggestion is good, I also sometimes feel like only watching a short anime and this would help me to find them better.

@ateks That would help significantly, but it would still exclude shows like Uta Kata that are 12+1 episodes.

And what if you want a 24 episode series? How do you ensure a split cour of 12+12 shows up in the results? The more I think about it, the less feasible this sounds thanks to the mods who insist Fate/Zero is actually 2 anime.
