Item: Thousand-Year Blood War
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The Thousand Year Blood War arc is incorrectly numbered in your system and is causing conflicts in apps that use both thetvdb.com and themoviedb.org.
If you are lumping the entire post Blood-War run of Bleach as one season, then Blood War would also be part of that first season and the numbering would continue from episode 366 onwards. Either that or The Blood-War would be considered a sequel to the First show (i.e. it would be Season 1 of Bleach 2). (https://anidb.net/anime/15449
If you are actually breaking Bleach out into SEASONS instead of Cours, then The Thousand Year Blood-War arc would be Season 17.
see the following other sources :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bleach_episodes
Just one good example of how the current listing breaks certain apps is to view the Bleach show entry in the SeriesGuide app for Android.

Your Season 2 entry for the Blood-War arc over-wrote EVERYONE's existing Season 2 data. This probably also breaks Trakt integrations.

Then if you are going to break it up into seasons you need to understand that Bleach already had 16 seasons before the 1000 Year Blood War.
Episode 1 of Thousand year Blood War is S17E01. It is definitely NOT season 2. If you are going to append TYBW to Bleach, then please do it right.
These are the first 16 Seasons of Bleach (the entirety of the original airing of Bleach) for those that break the show into Seasons. https://thetvdb.com/series/bleach/seasons/official/2 for Seasons 3-16, all you need to do is change the number at the end of the URL that I have provided.
THIS is the first season of Thousand Year Blood War for people that break Bleach into Seasons: https://thetvdb.com/series/bleach/seasons/official/17
More to follow in 2nd post because your system keeps thinking my post is a spam post for some reason.

If you are using Absolute Numbering instead of Seasons, then Thousand Year Blood War (under your system) NEEDS to be in Season 1.
If you are using Seasonal Numbering, then you've got some work to do, since you aren't accurately showing the Seasonal Episodes for Bleach.
If your site content rules break the metadata that all the other anime show data sources use, then you need to review those rules with your bosses. Because what's going to happen is that you are going to establish this database as an unreliable source of metadata that breaks functionality in Anime show tracking apps. You break people's apps, you'll end up with massive negative backlash. We all see how ready the internet is to trash established institutions and websites.
The Ball Is In Your Court ..

You are wrong.
Our anime rules are available here. I quote:
"Long-running series with continuous episode numbers (e.g. 867, 868, 869) are added as a single season. "
"Sequels series (i.e. a direct continuation of the story) are added within the same entry. When the episodes numbers are continuous, all episodes are added to the same season. When the episode count is restarted (i.e. the first episode is Episode 1), the new episodes are added as a new season."
Each site has its own set of rules.

Bleach was NOT broadcast as a Single Season in Japan because they do not use Seasonal Numbering.
Bleach was broadcast as multiple Cours with very few hiatus periods. Bleach Episode numbering in Japan would just be E001, E002, etc. with NO Seasonal Identifier.
Technically, all Anime from Japan is this way. Seasonal breakdowns for shows are something that is only common in the West, because we seem to want all our shows to be Seasonal. The Arcs are the accepted Western Seasonal breaks (accepted by the publisher, the distributor, the Anime community, and Tite Kubo).
Arguing a point without having the correct information doesn't do anything to help you make your case.. That's fine though. I'll just send an email to someone a bit higher up and express my concerns, since you don't seem to be able to grasp that this policy you are so dogmatically following is breaking other applications and services. From a pure IT standpoint, that is a Service break that you are causing in someone else Service. Not

This fact indicate that its a single season.
As we list the anime series based on their original Japanese broadcast, and not based on their Western later broadcast, we are not concerned by these "seasons" break.
We aren't breaking any services. When other services have decided to use our API, they were aware of our rules and of the way we are listing series.
