How do you organize your Anime files?

(1/12) > >>

OniSamurai:
I'm just wondering, being the organized neat freak that I am when it comes to, well everything, how do all you guys organize your Anime downloads? I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to neatly organize them, but can't decide on a way to achieve this without having multiple folders for each and every series.

Here's an example:
Death Note
Ergo Proxy
One Outs

Thats just a random 3 that I picked out. Now, in my list of many Anime they are named as such:
[TSR]_Death_Note_01-37.DVD[H264,Vorbis](Complete)
[A-Kraze]_Ergo_Proxy_hdtv
[B2E]_One_Outs_[X.264]

Original files names. Not bad looking, but when you are trying to search through many different series on say, a 1TB external hard drive, it can be pretty annoying to fish through them all to find the one you want.

So there are several options. I could rename the original file of say
[TSR]_Death_Note_01-37.DVD[H264,Vorbis](Complete)
to be just
Death Note
but then I wouldn't know what version it was without looking at the actual files. I could also do:
Death Note[TSR][DVD][H264,Vorbis]
which makes it look at bit more organized, cause then I can have them listed alphabetically and still have all the info I want. But then what about when it comes to OVAs and such? Do I really want it to say:
Pokemon Season 1
Pokemon Season 2
Pokemon Season 3
Pokemon Movie 1
Pokemon Movie 2
etc...

And so on. So I could just put it in its own folder, but then its like an endless amount of clicks just to get to the show I want...

Anyways, I know I probably sound completely anal about all of this. I'm just wondering how you fine people going about organizing your wonderful torrent downloads.

meh use simple:
first there is folder called ''Anime''
then in that folder has all the names of anime example:
full metal panic!
if that serie has more seasons, that are with diffrent season, in that folder, there will be other folders like this:
(click to show/hide)                                   Full Metal Panic!                -> Full Metal Panic! - 01 - The Guy I Kinda  Like is a Sergeant
Anime->Full Metal Panic->Full Metal Panic? ~Fumoffu~
                                   Full Metal Panic! TSR
thats basicly it :P thats how I organice my anime files.

I have mine organised as shown in image:

Tiffanys:
Series Name [possible additional things] \ seasons

Always like that. I make sure the series name is always first, that way i can start typing it to get to it instead of having to look through a sea of brackets trying to find what I'm looking for (oh, the horror...).

Sosseres:


Kinda like that, four folders spread over four drives where I just set my client to download to whichever has the most space at the time of changing. Then I search my torrent client for the files, use windows search or download a duplicate. I don't really care about sorting or keeping files after I watch them. :) I also tend to have >100 episodes in my media player as an additional layer of sorting.
