Wasn’t obvious as I only saw thetvdb and don’t watch anime. This isn’t a unique issue for anime though. It’s an ancient problem at this point and without a simple solution.
Edit: huh, so medusa does support using AniDB as a backend. I seem to remember it didn’t or that there was some issue with it.
Oh yeah for sure, the issue with airing, vs dvd, vs streaming, vs etc etc order and what is “right” is terrible.
But it’s actually kinda solved with anime, everyone in the scene and such just uses AniDB and that’s all that matters. Sonarr tries to solve the terribleness of thetvdb by using theXEM, but it should just use AniDB as the backend for anime and be done with it.

Perhaps it was added later.

Yeah shoko which I mentioned uses anidb and tmdb but that only handles the metadata not acquisition
