Hi, I hate this s**e**
" * stands for the number of the episode and the season number"
And I would love it if you guys could omit the seasons in some of the episode coz some Anime series don't have any...
i.e. One piece, Detective Conan and Naruto and a few others
because they're just episodes and no season included and they're just Ongoing
Today's Episode of One piece was 784 and in your Schedule it's S09e38.... :3
so please fix this mistake and thank you.

Animes are also divided into seasons, or am I understanding you the wrong way?

They're saying that those specific ones aren't divided by season (just episode count).
I haven't watched any of them myself, but it's possible that the United States episode numbering for them are different.
Naruto I watched completely and it is divided into seasons.

He is not mistaken that Naruto and many others anime do not have seasons, they are ongoing without seasons, but with story arcs. Now we have a new season - this is a new story arc.

Is that based on US sources, I.e Crunchyroll, Hulu?
Or is that from TV Tokyo?
This is based on crunchyroll, I cannot read japanese on tv Tokyo :p
Also every other source I know, wiki, fandom wiki and so on divides Naruto into seasons, the DVD and Blu-Ray releases too.

Hmm,
but those story arcs are divided worldwide into seasons, the japanese do not do this?
A story arc is basically a set number of episodes that are designated for a part of the story. Each is given a separate name.
What's important is that you can have multiple story arcs per season (Fairy Tail is a good example of that).
Therefore it can't always be considered as a separate season.
Hmm, so can anyone read Japanese and can verify that with the series mentioned by Leon, it is all ONE season?
if so, we must change it.
Tho as I said, if you look around on the web, all three shows are divided into seasons everywhere, but it can be an american/european thing.

Yes, TV Tokyo aired Naruto without seasons http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/naruto/episodes/ep... I do not think that we should change the order of episodes, if the seasons are divided into an arcs story or chapters it's also fine and I'm opposed to any changes in the seasons.

Well, I also do not want to change it, but if the demand for this will get huge, we need to think about it :)
Kissanime and Horriblesubs and 9anime and so many other websites have these anime series with number not season-divided and tbh I've never seen Anime series divided that way except for you guys and If takes a lot of time for you guys to change it then don't coz I sure as hell know that it would take a lot of time... and thx for ur effort for reading this blog :)

Well, we want to have it the right way, but weirdly all western sites do separate those shows into seasons, be it wiki, be it crunchyroll, be it tvdb, be it the official dvd and blu-ray releases and so on.
I get it, that the Asian sites do not seem to make seasons.
Of how many shows would we talk here?
And yes, that would be alot of work...
Well, tbh the ones that i've noticed are Detective conan and One piece and Naruto and Naruto Shippuden and Bleach and Fairy Tail and Inuyasha and Gintama and Kyo kara maoh and KINDAICHI SHOUNEN NO JIKENBO and Youkai Watch and i can keep on going... and I've checked and u guys have all these seasoned and Japanese sites don't
and you can check More Anime Shows here: https://9anime.to/ or http://horriblesubs.info/ or http://horriblesubs.info/ :)
I know next to nothing about anime but is there a reason the Japanese sites don't break out seasons? Are there actual breaks in the airing schedules that the Western sites and DVD releases are using as season breaks? or are those breaks completely artificial? Do these programs actually run 365 days? I ask as we could put that information in the edit wikis and maybe not have to go in and change all of these shows if there are actual breaks in the production even if they aren't strictly speaking called separate seasons.
Just an idea, if it won't work feel free to say so, I won't mind. :)

Let's take one of the shows they mentioned and use it as an example:
Inuyasha
http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/yasya/schedule/schedule02.html
On their schedule it just shows the episode number increasing, with no mention of seasons.
According to TVMaze episode 27 is the last of season 1. Episode 28 aired only a week later so no break in the weekly schedule there.
FYI, if a show doesn't have any official seasons we would divide them into seasons by premiere year (http://www.tvmaze.com/faq/15/episodes). In our system an episode simply can't exist without a season.
I don't know enough about Anime to decide which is correct. Do I understand it correctly that there's a widely accepted definition of seasons for most of these shows, but that it might not originate from an accepted official source?
Regardless of the underlying seasons, displaying the lifetime number for an episode instead of SxxExx would be a possible feature (though how to determine which shows need it?). If you count the episodes on One Piece all the way from S01E01, the April 16 episode is indeed #784.

It's more secondary sources such as Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc that license and distribute (mainly in the US) that have a concept of seasons and will explicitly list them as such.
The fact of the matter is original broadcast doesn't seem to have used seasons, so do we continue to use seasons as specified by these secondary sources or not?

I would strongly suggest we keep using those seasons that are used by all western sources, including the companies that licensed it and are publishing the DVDs and Blu-rays.
Most of the time those seasons reflect a story arc that has been closed.
Not only that it would be an insane amount of work, we would also differ from all other western sources.
