As for getting the Anime node to show, try selecting the node, brining up the context menu, and saving it as a favorite. Then you should at least be able to set the favorite (which is really just a bookmark) to the main menu in Transparency.
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, though I created a smart playlist that uses my anime folder as it's source. Kinda annoying that I can't choose the position of the anime button (it ends up after options) but it seems like the only way to fix this is to edit the skin itself. I've tried following guides on how to do this but I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I can't even get the new node to appear!

I didn't have an advancedsettings.xml file until I created one to try to fix my issues with episode matching with my anime, so obviously I don't have these high quality upscale shaders. How can I get them? And how good are they? I had some FFDSHOW upscale filters for MP that gave me great results since I had three sets of filters that were applied depending on if the video is SD, 720p or 1080p (the 1080p filter obviously left the video untouched ;P)
I'm currently trying to get my anime working and I'm having all kinds of issues!
1) It creates entries for a number of series, but MANY are missing
2) It often creates an entry, but no episodes are listed
3) The banner art is using the poster art, so it all messed up. This happened after I changed from the tvDB to the aniDB plugin but even changing the plugin's settings to include banners from tvDB didn't solve the issue.
4) I seemed to have been banned from the aniDB. Since there's no hash matching, is there even any point to using the aniDB plugin?
I suspect that Kodi isn't able to match the episodes to the files, but I was under the impression this script was suppose to fix this issue:

A few general questions!
1) While poking around trying to create a new node for Transperency, I saw a folder called "720p". Is Transparency a 720p skin? Seriously?
2) Can I create a series within a series? Like, if there's a bunch of anime that are part of the same franchise, can I keep them together?
