I agree, things can get a little linguistically challenging.

Anidb treats each series (UK) as it its own series (US), rather than as individual seasons (US) of a single show (UK)... Clear as mud.


For your advancedsettings.xml, the general rule-of-thumb is to just copy the stuff you don't already have into the bits you do already have.
So, you should already have <advancedsettings> tags top and bottom of your xml, so you don't need to copy them, just copy the contents in between into your own. But then, if you already have a <tvshowmatching> tag, just copy the contents (the <regexp>s) into yours. (If you have two, copy into the one with same action attribute). The order of the <regexp>s do matter, though, as the first match is the one used, so you may need to shuffle things around (and don't be afraid to remove regexps that you'll never need).


To get English titles, in the scraper settings under the "AniDB 1" tab select the "Use official name instead of main name" setting (and make sure the language code is "en").


You don't need to worry about the anime-list.xml. The scraper knows what to do with it .
