Tokyo Revengers


MAT13 posted 19 days ago

I see you've split Tokyo Revengers back to three seasons, but they don't have seasons, see official site with episodes from 1-50...

https://tokyo-revengers-anime.com/story/#/50

US often splits non-season anime into seasons or arcs, but that isn't official, they even split anime like Meitantei Conan, One Piece, Naruto, Boruto, Bleach and others.

Tokyo Revengers does have a bit gaps since it doesn't add fillers, but it's same as Bleach: Thousand Year War we have as a single season: 
- https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/80375/bleach-thousand-year-blood-war/episodes

The policy is not to add seasons simply because US splits anime into seasons (based on their own reasoning and deciding which episode is part of which season, since official anime doesn't always do that simply because anime has multiple arcs). Do you still think Tokyo Revengers should be split into seasons? Why go against official site?

Hi

Thanks for the heads up, I'm not sure what happened there. I see I've added images so it might've been synced to the image source at the time

I've changed it back to one season

Cheers

No problem. Ok, thanks.

BTW, Japanese anime sometimes keeps episode numbering without resetting them (i.e. Solo Leveling) so while there's obvious season 2 with new subtitle, they may still continue including next episode number (i.e. #13) in front of title, instead of restarting from 1. So both cases exist, but those kind of differences can be seen on their site.

For example Wind Breaker (https://wb-anime.net/) has episode 1-25 (ep 1-13 for S1, and 14-25 for S2) on official site and in the anime itself, but there are clearly two seasons and each has its own poster and even season 1 and 2 on official site despite episodes being grouped.

In US, I think every anime is split into seasons (probably to more easily group it on DVD releases or something), even though there is 1 season only, so just FYI to be aware of this ;))

Repeat Australian Story episodes added


BazzaG posted a month ago

Both of the Australian Story episodes you added are repeats:

https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/2500385/australian-story-28x05-making-a-scene-claudia-karvan
https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/2966765/australian-story-29x18-nick-cave-with-leigh-sale

Just because they are listed on TheTVDB website does not mean they should be listed/added to TVMaze (or visa-versa).

Mind you, both sites have heaps of errors.

Both deleted

Looks like that Claudia Karavan is also listed as a 2025 episode on the shows webpage, so that's probably where the mistake came from

The ABC has frequently, in fact, I think always, added repeat episodes to the current season on iView. Given that I watch the show & have done so for decades, I usually spot the repeats even if the title has been slightly altered. Over the years there have been some "update" episodes ... personally I don't count these as repeats & the ABC has always indicated them as such.

June 21st was Easter Monday which explains the repeat episode. No idea why "Making a Scene" was repeated on July 21st.

If you want I can unsync this show from tvdb, sounds like you have a better handle on it than we do :)


BazzaG posted a month ago

That's up to you and/or the TVMaze mods. What I find surprising is why would TVMaze consider TheTVDB, IMDB & other such sites as "masters" ... AND Visa-Versa, without doing so sort of validation? Having said that, perhaps that already happens but failed in this case ... I don't know.

Of course another fix would be to allow repeat episodes to be listed on the shows webpage ... particularly if the episode is also listed on the networks webpage for the show. Personally I don't have a issue with that as long as there is a option to add a "repeat" flag.

I was politely asking if you'll continue editing it so we don't have to worry about this one show

We only ever import from 2 places

The futon critic, which is a place that list press releases from all the American networks and streamers, so you can find all things USA and global streaming in one place without having to check 15 places or worry about geo-blocking. 

We also import some things from TVdb, more restrictively, of course. And it's mainly for shows that are not maintained regularly by any of our editors. Right now we have about ~19,000 shows listed that are still running and we obviously don't have the manpower to maintain all of those properly

We don't sync or take anything at face value from IMDB or any other user generated sites.

Of course another fix would be to allow repeat episodes to be listed on the shows webpage ... particularly if the episode is also listed on the networks webpage for the show. Personally I don't have a issue with that as long as there is a option to add a "repeat" flag.

Policy changes or adding new features is a long shot at best

Yes, looks like Rose already beat us to it :)

My Happy Place


tvjjbj12 posted a month ago

Hello Aidan,

I was delayed making my update to Season 1, Episode 6, "Bangkok, Thailand with Simu Liu" after watching it. I was coming back to change the Airdate to August 31, 2025 and add this Comment: 

"This episode finally premiered on August 31, 2025, at 22:00. Coverage of current news prevented CNN from broadcasting it on other scheduled dates, including the last one on July 6, 2025." 

But, you beat me to making my update. 👍🏻 The episode title you used "Bangkok, Thailand with Simu Liu" is a variation. This CNN press release https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2025/03/25/star-studded-travel-series-my-happy-place-to-premiere-sunday-april-27-on-cnn/ lists the episode titles as listed for Episodes 1-6. 

I wanted to contact you before changing your work. It just seemed fair. Thanks for all you do.

Joe

Hi

Dont be shy about making any changes to edits I've made. 

It looks like my edits come from one the scripts we use to sync against press releases. They arent' always correct or fully updated, so the wrong info gets through every now and then without me noticing.

As for making comments on the episodes about wrong info or edits that should happen you should know that most of the edits go through other tools and I don't visit the episode pages and therefore never read them. So using the edit requests thread or leaving a note here on my talk page is better.

So just go ahead and make any changes necessary and call me an idiot when I get it wrong, that'll help with adjusting the tools :)

Cheers
Aidan

Aidan, thanks for your advise. I don't believe I have access to the "scripts" you use. I have enough to just edit what I do. I wish my time allowed for more. It's enjoyable to be a TVmazer.

I grant you the same privilege to call me an idiot when necessary. 😃

Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain

Cracky7 posted 3 months ago

I noticed you changed the airdate of 1x07 "Marbella" to June 22. The episode hasn't aired, the previous airdate (June 29) was correct. Also from what I can see, 1x08 is expected for July 6. For some reason when I try to make changes it won't let me.

Hi

Thanks for the update. I was going by the press release listings, but I guess they aren't fully updated

The dates are changed now, they go into lock mode after they've been changed a few times and with the previous date move from the 15th it kicked in

Thanks again and keep up the good work :)
