What follows is an exchange of messages between me and elnipp after he moved "Colorful Episodes 1-8" and "Colorful Episodes 9-16" from episodes 17-18 to S3-S4. I am too tired to edit the messages or write a summary so I'll just post them unmodified.

More than that, AznA isn`t even mentioned among the groups that subbed the anime and the anime isn`t mentioned on the AznA page: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... 76&nonav=1
I wouldn`t say that the former solution of having the files as episodes 17-18 is the best, but it is definately better than the current solution which removes a lot of functionality.
Think of these episodes as "Part 1 of 2" and "Part 2 of 2" from almost all the movie entries... you don`t put these parts in the special section even though the movie is listed as having only one part.

I see your point though, but that`s clearly a bug imho. You might wanna post it on the forums and tell EXP to include the groups doing only the specials.
If you think this would be better suited for the Feature Request forum then please feel free to move it there.
