As you've described here, you scrap those Animes who are not auto. scrapt manually. If the anime and the episodes are displayed correctly, you can go to "Settings > Video > Export Video Library > Single" and export your Database. There is also the option "separate", but be careful, with this option you export all the tvshow.nfo, Artwork etc. into the Animes Folder, and you maybe overwrite other nfo's.
After the export is done, you will have a xbmc_videodb_Date Folder and within you will find a videodb.xml. Open it with a Texteditor (Notepad ++), search for your Anime and copy all the information between <tvshow><title>Anime Title</title> ...... </tvshow>. Past it into a new Textfile and name it tvshow.nfo. This you can place in your Anime Folder, so next time the AniDB Scrap. will correctly scrap it.
But this really should be the last "option". Such measures should only be needed for difficult named Animes like "Gundam 00" or Animes where you need the year in the title, like "Hunter X Hunter (1999)"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to rename titles, so they group together, you can easily change it in the tvshow.nfo.
Example, i use for all my Gundam Animes the "Mobile Suit Gundam - XX" Tag. Now there are Gundam Series who are not displayed like this, maybe they are named differently or they have no English name in the AniDB, so XBMC will display it like "Gundam Unicorn" > "Kidou Senshi Gundam Unicorn"
The title will be displayd in XBMC, and the showtitle will be for AniDB.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think grouping Animes into Sets isn't working with XBMC right now, since it counts as TV-Show.
Multi-episode files, how do you want them to work?
