More Episodes

This round compares full connected mainline anime series. It does not ask which single displayed season has more episodes. The higher stored series total wins; cards label the value as “series episodes” and identify the full anime series.

How the series is connected

MAL stores seasons and other releases as separate entries. AniMoredle follows only stored prequel and sequel relationships in either direction, visiting each connected entry once. It does not combine titles merely because their names look alike.

TV, ONA, OVA, Special, and TV Special entries in that mainline connection may contribute their entry-level episode counts. Movies can bridge two episodic entries but add zero episodes. Music and other unsupported media do not contribute.

Side-story, spin-off, character, and alternate-version relation edges are not followed. Entries identified as derivative children through outgoing parent-story or full-story relationships are excluded from representing a playable series.

Why the card shows a particular title

The displayed representative is the earliest released eligible episodic entry in the verified component, with MAL ID as the deterministic tie-breaker. This is release order, not the story’s fictional chronology. A narratively earlier prequel released later does not displace the original release.

Only the canonical representative is eligible for this category. Its title, cover, and MAL reference identify the series. The episode value still belongs to the whole connected component, not just that linked entry.

Special cases and missing data

An incomplete relationship graph or a cyclic chronology cannot establish a safe representative and is excluded. Unknown entry episode counts are not invented or added. Ongoing releases, missing MAL relationships, and delayed catalog refreshes can limit the recorded total.

This aggregation affects only More Episodes. Scores, membership counts, and dates in the other categories remain entry-specific. Read Data and Methodology or report a series-data issue.
