Audiovisual initial feedback and requests

Brandon, there’s some quirks with how “specials” are handled. Let’s use からかい上手の高木さん Specials | L18 as an example.

  1. It’s listed as “season 4”, but the only special aired between seasons 1 and 2. So it’s a bit misleading. At a minimum, renaming it to “specials” on the show page would be an improvement. If there’s any way it could be put in the right order that would be a bonus.
  2. It can be risky to mark a “special” season as “finished” because if they add a new special it will be added to this “season”. So while these specials don’t necessarily air that often, it can cause some oddities for people who watched an earlier special and then a new special gets added.

EDIT: I guess more importantly, this will be a problem for seasons with split cours as well. For example, Komi-san season 1 part 1 aired and completed, so people will want to marked it as Finished and rate it. Then part 2 airs and suddenly people have the whole of season 1 still marked as finished but with more episodes than they haven’t watched yet (or may never watch). Are you going to automatically change people’s status from Finished to something else when more episodes are added? Seems like yet another reason to split the cours into individual seasons based on when they aired like AniList does.


Also, this bug may have already been mentioned, but I marked a show as “Finished” via the “you just rated this would you like to mark it Finished” popup, but it won’t remember that it’s finished. I tried setting it again and it doesn’t work.


Also, a bit of a nitpick, but in many cases I will never watch the specials for a show, so seeing 2/3 is a bit disheartening… (or I may just want to skip tracking specials on Natively since it’s so awkward.)

Wasn’t the “collapse series” button on the book page sticky before? Now it’s not remembering my selection and the one of the videos page isn’t being remembered either. Regardless of whether it was before, can you have it remember the previous selection? And importantly, remember separately for books and videos.


Forgot the rounding on the show page average score. :laughing:

How come the series is ゆるゆり but each season is Yuru Yuri? Seems to be ゆるゆり for the seasons at the source, so maybe a bug.


Why does the romaji return season 1 but the kanji returns the series page?


“Owned” strikes me as an odd status considering how common streaming is. At least for me, “Owned” and “Wish List” makes sense for books. But for video I just need a “Planning” status. Guess I’ll have to decide between “Owned” and “Wish List” for now.


Bug: Can’t edit the status from “Wish List” to “Owned” because it thinks the type of subs are required.


Another bug (maybe related to the other one about statuses not showing properly).
