Once more: some Anime chaos. Now the "Slayers"-franchise
I know, it is sometimes hard, to stay in touch and have all the overview in japanese Animes. So we need to correct once more a few things for the "Slayers"-franchise.
Main article is the Slayers series: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0112166/ . The first 3 season each contain of 26 episodes. Not more, not less. For the first season, this is correct. The mistakes start with seasson 2 (season title: "Slayers Next"): https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0112166/episodes/?season=2
- S02E27 https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt7776378/reference/ - this is as correctly named here a movie, not an episode of a series. And this movie already has it's own entry: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0161979/reference/ - so the series episode needs to be merged into the movies entry. See https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=488
- S02E30 https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt7776386/reference/ - this is the first part of a mini series ("Slayers: The Book of Spells", also known as "Slayers Special", "Slayers: Dragon Slave", and "Slayers: Explosion Array"), also already listed on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0161980/episodes/?season=1 - so here the episode need to be merged with the first episode of the mini series. See https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=736
Next is season 3 (season Title "Slayers Try"): https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0112166/episodes/?season=3
- everything is fine until episode 26. But then: S03E29+S03E30+S03E31 are a very own mini series, "Slayers Excellent". So these 3 episodes need to excluded from this series into this own mini series. See https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=737
- S03E32 https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt7776416/reference/?ref_=ttep_ep_32 ("Slayer Premium") is again a single movie by it's own, also already on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0462717/reference/ - so again, the episode needs to be exlcuded from the series and merged into the movie - See https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=295
Seasons 4 (season title "Slayers Revolution") and 5 (season title "Slayers Evolution-R") are correct. Finally, there are the movies connections - https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0112166/movieconnections/
- in the moment, just "The Book of Spells" is listed under "followed by" - there must be add the new to create (see above) "Slayers Excellent"
- and the 3 movies now listed as spin offs: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0161981/reference/ ("Slayers Perfect"), https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0161979/reference/ ("Slayers Return") and https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0161978/reference/ ("Slayers Great").
- and two more movies need to be add to the "followed by" section: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt1796619/reference ("Slayer Gorgeous") and https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0462717/reference/ ("Slayers Premium").
So. At the end, there must be a main series with 5 seasons, 2 mini series as follow ups and 5 movies as follow ups. See https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=657
Hopefully, my explainations are not confusing.
