Am I? I have no idea, I just use MakeMKV to rip the disc. No idea how else to rip the disc

I’m not, but I can imagine the uploaded hashes might have been compressed

There seem to be Bluray entries in AniDB, but I can’t tell if it’s the same version. I have UK region Blurays, so maybe that’s it.

But I think I’m gonna leave Shoko be and try something else

Interesting. I’ll have to look at it again then. I figured that since AniDB also has UBW split between season 1 and 2 (listed as 2014 and 2015) that I had to list them separately too. This does work by the way, but it’s just really cluttered. Which metadata provider should I primarily use then if not AniDB or Anilist?

Hopefully it works for my other anime too

Ah, I see. Since they keep talking about ’ your collection’ I figured it’d be for your own BD rips too. Tbf, I was already a little unclear about what exactly Shoko does, since the descriptions are very broad. Would Sonarr or Tiny media manager fit my use case?

I see, so that still requires a fair bit of manual work then (especially when episodes are not ordered properly when ripped).

I figured I’d use it since it’s made for anime. Renaming everything myself because the BD rips don’t name themselves properly is a pretty big chore, so I figured I’d use a tool for made for it. But it’s sounding more and more like Shoko was not the way to go

I’m naming it that way, because otherwise Jellyfin can’t handle it properly for me. Season 2 will not show up with the proper metadata if I put all of it in the same folder. My guess is that because 2014 (season 1)and 2015 (season 2) are two separate entries in both Anilist and AniDB and not grouped together under UBW, that it wants it that way in Jellyfin too.

Jellyfin is going to want:

This is the main problem I have right now. The example I gave in the post for example. I currently have to list them as entirely separate entries, both with season 01. Not one entry with season 01 or season 02, because that’s not how it is in AniDB or Anilist. As I said in another comment, I may checkout Sonarr if Shoko doesn´t work out.

I’ve read that Shoko works for many people, but yeah… I must be doing something wrong. Right now I’m manually renaming everything to the recommended Jellyfin naming structure and using the AniDB or Anilist plugin in Jellyfin to get the rest of the metadata. A bit of a pain… If I get no responses, maybe I’ll look into Sonarr or Tiny mediamanager

Also, just to add on:

• they’re all mkv files
• movies are structures a bit differently. It’s either a straight mkv or in a single folder.
• I’m in the EU region, so my blurays are UK blurays

It was certainly quick, and 2 seasons would definitely have been better, but it didn’t feel rushed to me.

Man, if only HIDIVE didn’t just up and leave every region other than NA. Oh well 🏴‍☠️

Oh god no

I’m glad we get to see adult Kumiko continuing the legacy

I’d be 100% down for a spin off about this

I need more Kumiko

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!! They did it! I’m so happy!

The grown-up versions of the characters are so unbelievably pretty, it’s insane.

Very happy they didn’t skip the music this episode!

Kumiko finally being comfortable to share Asuka’s piece was a great moment.

It was also fun to see Kumiko using Taki’s mannerisms as the advisor haha. Nice nod.

This season was amazing. The whole anime was amazing. It’s KyoAni at their absolute best. While it’s not the best of all the other entries, it certainly stands on its own. My main criticism of this season is the lack of actual music playing. We couldn’t really grow along with the band like we did in S1 and 2.

As far as I’m aware, this is the end. I will dearly miss it, but I’m sure I will rewatch it many times, like I already have with the previous seasons. I don’t think there will be anything like Hibike anytime soon

Wait, it’s over?!

At time of writing, I thought so, since the main plot seemed to be done, but you made me check and apparently not? 3 volumes left apparently, but from what I can gather, I’m not sure there’s a ‘greater’ followup. Who knows if that’ll get adapted though. It really looked like they wanted to finish up here.

The later ones were alright but S 5 sucked ass

I think S5 was better than 3 and 4. 3 and 4 were a snorefest without Kurumi and 3 was rushing like mad. S5 finally properly followed up on what was established in S1 instead of just repeating the same old date a spirit formula.

Well, this won’t stop me from stockpiling Kurumi merch

Same

This ‘test’ for Kafka was kinda dumb. He clearly didn’t want to fight, but the director forced and provoked him to by trying to kill him and the director’s immediately like ‘guess he’s an animal after all’ once Kafka’s fighting back. Like, no shit Kafka’s fighting back and lost control. What’d you expect? For him to just sit back and let you take his life? Even if Kafka was still in full control of his Kaiju side, his behaviour would still make sense.

Enjoyable anime, but, for me, doesn’t really stand out among many other battle shounen. It’s fine. Kafka being an adult was nice, but he may as well have been a teenager imo. The OP song was fine, but the ED was awful. Bog standard western pop that didn’t fit the show at all imo.
