That list for Dogtato doesn't match with this list of the DVD episodes:

Episode order - R2 DVD vs R1 DVD vs TV (jap)

Yep.
Adding 13 DVD french fansubbed episodes to a so-called "12" episode serie quite boggled my mind as I am brand new to anime.
I confirm that :
TV9 = DVD9
DVD10 : Not aired (nude censorship), sorted S1 right now
TV10 = DVD11
TV11 = DVD12
TV12 = DVD13
DVD10 is a real episode necessary for story coherence.
Episodes 25&26 (sorted S2&S3 right now) were added later to the original 24 episode.Der Idiot wrote:more fun

24 eps shown on tv
26 eps released on dvd
Timewise they belong right after ep24, but form a stand-alone story.
So, I think that...
-When "last+1" episodes are added as such to the original release, the episode count should get adjusted.
-When "intermediate" (aka nn.5) episodes are added... urg, that would make "23(last) of 24 episodes", yuck.
-Episode count should be detailed, like "Episodes: 13 normal, 1 special"
When numbering or order got too much messed (release/broadcasts, licenses, extras), I think there is no better way than maintaining the parallel numbering.
It could get as ugly as :
Code: Select all
TV TV DVD
(Jpn)(US)
1 1 Not aired is US
2 1 2
3 3 3 (US re-ordering)
4 2 4 (US re-ordering)
5 4 5
- - 6 (DVD Bonus episode inserted into the serie)
6 5 7
6 (US made-up recall filler)
7 7 8
8 9 (Jpn cut)
8 (US cut)
9 9 10
---------
S (DVD Special, not part of episoding)
Probably a wise move as episodes get re-seasoned too when licensed, but consider these :
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves II
Despite the "II" in the title, it really really feels like "season 2".
