And I raise you Pokémon. Holy mother of fuck that's messed up. Some episodes switched around for foreign distribution, some removed, and two seasons put into one, making the entire ordering one season and three episodes off. Had to manually edit nearly everything after Sonarr tagged them because Sonarr used the UK tvdb ordering iirc (the UK removed a couple episodes) but my source used Japan (scene) and Emby used US tvdb. Something like that

Ouch, my condolences.
It's fascinating that it took me longer to scroll through that than most people have or ever will spend on watching the show.

Wait until you have to match foreign to english naming to match the release name.
I did that for the first 3 seasons of a dvd pack I ordered and ripped to get the dub iny language (and the 2 rips on trackers were of a too low quality)

Just give up and get streamlined mythbusters. Easier to watch anyway.

What's the difference?
Sounds like a fan cut release

Each myth is contiguous in each episode rather than being interweaved. Much more satisfying.

Also, repetitions are removed and some of the fluff (though sometimes a bit too much of the fluff has been removed according to some opinions I read once upon a time on reddit). To make up for it, replace the missing fluff with the stupidly long fluffy tail of content which this comment is now somehow turning into. Fluffing the fluff. And also, repetitions(!) are removed but also the fluff.

The initial idea is probably to extend the viewers interest over the whole episode rather than pick what you wanted to see.
Works more for linear tv. Not so much for VoD.

Thanks for the insight :)

I've heard they're called smyths on reddit and there's a complete collection in some thread over there.

That sounds interesting, I'll have a look!
