How do you sort anime with multiple seasons? Also, would it kill Japan to just use Season 2, Season 3 etc. Instead of just adding random words?

>square brackets before the name of the series

I'm probably retarded but I just default with the shanaproject settings for auto rss downloading, so it goes by release season instead of show season.

>xD
Kill yourself leddit

I don't like it either, but it bothers my OCD more to have it out of order.

Then create a folder for each season. A bit redundant but it works I guess.

>main folder: anime name (year)
>subfolders: anime name season 1 (year), anime name season 2 (year)

If you sort the folder which contains all these, it just puts all the [1]s together and doesn't sort alphabetically by series.

In other words, it's absurdly inefficient and speaks to a lazy, indolent personality.

>Working!!
>Working!!!

Fuck you Japan do it the fucking sensible way

I don't

Like this
>title:season#:subgroup

...

>How do you sort anime with multiple seasons?
You don't need to. Anyone capable of rational thought should be able to tell seasons apart by name or content.

>title
>title [season x]
I'm not an autismo

>xD
Fuck off.

This will always be funny.

Might as well ask here. How do you guys organize the monogatari series. Give each ____monogatari it's own main folder?

Title
Title - Season X

>folder
just put them all under a "-gatari series" folder

Monogatari series > part 1 > Bake/Nise/Neko
Monogatari series > part >season 2/hana/Tsuki
Monogatari series > part 3 >Owari/Koyomi/Kizu
and yes I have autism.

I put them on my shelve.

Dog Days
Dog Days '
Dog Days ''

Now I will admit calling S3, "Dog Days Double Dash" is nothing short of genius but spelling it with 's is full retard.

Same names just with a bracket with a number in front.

I just sort it into subfolders according to how TVDB separates into seasons. I use Plex so it manages all my media

I thought that the reason why they need to add the subnames has something to do with how their copyright law works over there but I'm not sure

>[fong]_Black_Magic(...).jpg

keep talkin'.

I like this. But do you do it for series with only one season as well?

What?

>open kissanime
>watch season 1
>if it's good, watch season 2
>if it's meh then put s2 into my backlog
>if it's bad than don't watch s2
So easy.

At least buy a Crunchyroll sub you piece of shit

At least download utorrent you piece of shit

Try a multi hook lure next time.

If he's gonna stream, he might as well just do it legally.

I just have a few main folders I use

New
- Airing shows
Completed
- Shows that finished airing
Archive
- Best releases from a DVD/BD source
I checked every single release in my completed folder and replaced ones I found better.

Folder names
"Anime Name"
"Anime Name (DVD)"
"Anime Name (BD)"

Currently at just over 9TB

with sequel
main folder:

K-ON!

sub-folders:

[Frostii] K-On!
[DAE] K-On!!

without sequel
main folder:

True_Tears_(2008)_[720p,BluRay,x264]_-_THORA

i keep a txt with the airing order of what is in my drive

I use a folder for each season like this

It does get messy though because not every season gets its own icon, and this triggers my ocd so much.

Picture is from 2014 btw, right after I lost a hard drive, its a ton neater now But i still miss icons for some shows and it triggers me so much

>having OCD

I just let everything pile up in my download folder and use the search function when I want to find something.

...

Absolute madman

My rule of thumb is if the franchise would otherwise cause a mess they all go into a single folder

This, the search function is more powerful than organizing it

Monogatari Series->[Season Name]->[Files]

This post inspired me to finish organizing my anime folder.

>unit 01
laughed

Sort them by release so you have Bake, Nise, S2, etc separated by folder.

Like this: [Release group/s] Series Title
Example: [FFF-Vivid] Non Non Biyori Series

Where can I get icons like this?

Once I'm done I usually move them to Watched but usually forget since I'd need to update the location in my torrent client and thats too much effort for me.

Once the drive gets full I trim the crappy shows I'll never watch again

see: . I have downloaded it and can proove, that there's no virus or anything other than .ico files contained in the archive

Thanks. Time to spend 3 hours making my folders look pretty

>Then create a folder for each season.

What do you think this is?

>implying
My sorting skills are lacking

this here fampai
yes you do that, or merge bake+nise+nekokuro, nekoshiro+the rest, tsuki+owari+koyomi, or separate movie and tv

I have a DxD folder whichcontains Season 1, 2 and 3 folders. Inside Season 1 everything is named High School DxD XX, inside Season 2 everything is named High School DxD NEW XX and so on.

A better question is with the Gundam franchise, since timelines are such a convoluted mess I prefer to watch each separately and in random series 'order' (for instance, watched Victory before any UC Gundams, Turn A after that)
Do you guys have any better ideas?

Give up

>Title
>Season

Even if each season has a different name. It's the only way Plex picks it up properly.

Why do you guys save all the shows like autistic fucks?
I only keep my favorites.
For airing shows I download the episode,watch it and delete it, if I really liked the show I wait for the bd release and keep it.
For example,why the fuck do you have SAO,is one of your fav?Or you just have autism and don't want to delete it?

Why delete it? Storage is cheap

>title
>season 1
>season 2

In your case, it would be:

High School DxD
>Season 1
>High School DxD 01
>Season 2
>High School DxD New - 01
>Season 3
>High School DxD BorN - 01

If there are any OVAs or Specials would make subfolders under the specific season they were released in. I haven't found a better way to organize them than this. It has worked out well for my collection so far. Don't see a reason to change it yet.

Because it's shit.

Its not hurting anyone. It can remain

where can I get these icons?

You can find them at the corner of fuck off street and check the thread terrace

I just sort them by title, if sequels have different alphabetically then that's just how it happens.

just google anime icons, not that hard
go for complete pack

I make a folder for each series and put everything for that series inside it.

Like so.

pic related how to properly sort your anime. every series/franchise has one root folder. the sub-folders have season 2, the ovas, movies etc. everything related to it. took me 6 years to build this

>[OVA]
Why not just make a OVA folder and dump them all in there?

Because that folder would have more than 1000 files. Some OVAs have 12 episodes or more. Also sometimes a series follows chronologically after an ova. the folder structure is chronological so i dont have to look up what to start with.

like this

>Some OVAs have 12 episodes or more.
Then have standalone OVAs and TV based OVAs

If you persist in your logic, he'll start having heart palpitations because he's been doing it wrong for 6 years lol

dude, i know my stuff. my folders are perfect.

Whatever, I just put them in the same folder the same way I downloaded them, sometimes there is the root folder with s2 episodes loose then a folder with the name of a fansub with s1 then a second folder with the s3 with a random name.

Is not as if its complicated since series are 12 episode long and there are usually 4 season at most.

But I certainly would prefer if they named the series with S2, S3 instead of !! and random words, once you have them on your HD is not hard, but when you want to start downloading/watching a new series you have to go to anidb and look for annoying relation charts instead. Not that is extremly annoying but is an step we could skip.

I always want multiple season of an anime to be close to each other and in order, I also use folder icons, if no icon can be found I make my own

i dunno but dxd was a pile of shit.

>xD
Get out faggot.

>Bundling your porn together with normal stuff
Disgusting.

...

"anime name folder"
"s1 s2 s3" folders inside

>High School DxD

>Season 2 Episode 1
>filename is ep 13

' is just Japanese shorthand for "kai" though, meaning revision or next. Like Unit 02' from the Eva movies or the kancolle ship upgrades.

I have a folder for currently airing stuff, a backlog folder, and an archive folder. Archive is by full name, so monogatari series and Gundam are completely out of order. But that's okay. Respecting creator's intent. Definitive BD releases replace the TV versions if I can be assed to download them. Currently airing stuff is also alphabetic by title. Backlog is the most fucked up, usually still contains sub group folder names and such.

I fucking wound up watching Season 2 of OreImo first because the only difference in the title of the seasons is a fucking period at the end.

Just image how far I thought this shit would have gone if the first season ends in marriage.

not hurting anyone

What? Obviously I meant to take those folders and put them in a OVA folder. Not take out all the episodes and put them in a single folder.

I think, this is a pretty simple naming scheme, as I basically have all the important information in the folder title.
Also, I'm not retarded, if I see the name of a folder, I know which season it is, so I don't need to add anything about it in the folder name there.

>Dual Audio

I need to reorganize my folder. (Pic 1 / 2)

2/2

Sometimes it's the only option.

Do you have to set up the audio for each episode?
Wew lad
