   @birdulon @picandor The thing is that I absolutely hate part 1 and part 2 bullshit. I know it's a single production, but it's ugly and nonsensical. If the show stops airing, but whatever is airing after a season pause should be considered the next season
   
   There's stuff that follows the rules with being a split season thing, only skipping one season between, but then it's especially annoying when they don't follow the rule and they skip 2 seasons or even more and you're still expected to call it part 2 or something. It's lame, I hate it

     @coolboymew @picandor It's only really a problem for seasonal viewing where anilist viewers have an expectation of being able to mark discrete airing blocks as "completed" in realtime.
     
     People watching the shows after everything is out don't have to know how troubled the original release schedule was, in some cases the only hints are different OPEDs, like with episodes 24 and 25 of Code Geass which were originally aired 4 months late and the only thing that seemed off for me was that the last two episodes of the season had a new OP.
     This is also more-or-less reflected in how MAL/anilist/etc. have no problems with older shows being one entry even if they had large hiatuses in the middle, so long as they were fully released before MAL/anilist existed, but they absolutely insist on splitting newer entries with part 1/part 2 etc. and not merging them afterwards.
     
     Years ago I put Gintama on hold as motivation for properly implementing cross-entry episode mappings in trackma and never got around to it :blobsad:
