[REQUEST] default episode count display

[Ran]

I was wondering... maybe a small idea. I usually pick all recommended animes that sound interesting and decide what anime i'll watch first depending on the number of episodes of the series.

For that, at the moment, i have to browse through my want to watch list and open each anime page or set them to eg. temporarily "watching" in order to see how long the series is.

I was wondering if it wouldn't make sense to show the maximum episodes, instead of leaving that field blank, so it'd be easier to find one of a nice length. I suppose it would not get too confusing when looking at *all* anime because of the diferent colors. Although i don't know how many people would need that as a main feature, i suppose even those that don't base their decision on that might find it helpful not to have to look it up manually.

Bumping, since sothis doesn't seem to have noticed this thread. (Making the title more accurate too.)

To clarify, you want the # of eps in the dropdown boxes to default to the total # of eps in the series instead of defaulting to "Eps", right?
I'm guessing that would conflict with the way the db works & would result it making it seem that you had watched every ep of every series. That's just a guess though...

EDIT: Scratch all that. This isn't needed at all. It's already there.

He's talking about when you look at the list of anime, so that you can see how many eps each series has at a glance, WITHOUT having to go to each page one at a time.

Do we really need to check how many episodes they are, if they are already displayed in the main interface than that would be sufficient, it gonna get confusing with the watching scroll down box and the already watched scroll down box.

It empty for a reason, so indicate that you have not touch that anime yet

Although something like this would be possible:



The value for X would be set from the same place the value on the anime's page in the database (the first picture I posted) and the highest episode number in the dropdown list are set. That is assuming she plugs in the number somewhere to have those values set.

An interesting choice of location Dex, but personally I think something like the below would be better (as it keeps the episode counting together)
