I notice that some series do not return a studio, is there any way to ensure that a studio is returned for these series?

Are you using url nfo files (if so what ids are in them for each)? I'll try and test, see if I can replicate what you're seeing.
Out of 577 series the following are effected by this issue:
Brother, Dear Brother
Senki Zesshou Symphogear
Toward the Terra
I am not sure yet as to why only these 3 are effected.

If you pick a random show on the website, you'll see a "Main Staff" box near the top of the page, with a link to "show more" further down the page. The api, however, will only return the "Main staff", not the full listing. If "Animation Work" (or just "Work") is not listed in that box, then no studio will be returned...

So 37/577 are wrong and from that we can assume that ani.db will be missing the studio information about 6% of the time.
Hopefully if they are informed that their site does not present important information 6% of the time they will fix it.

Of course, it may not have when you posted (sorry for the delay), so try refreshing. I might be a little wary of adding supplemental information to too-new shows in case it becomes redundant.

This way users can ensure that this scrapper is as comprehensive as possible by submitting missing information in a simplified manor.Quite a few ways to help - I'd say if you're just wanting to update one or two shows, it would be better to just PM me, so as not to flood the thread with posts, but if you do a whole batch, maybe post it in the thread and I'll +1 you for being extra-helpful .
