[[Category:Videorecordings]]
Anime television series are sort of like British television series - approx. 13-26 episodes, but rather than continuing next season, once the story arc is over, the story is over. The longer series are sometimes split into seasons when released in the US.  Anime television series consistently fall into exceptions to the rules as outlined in the [[Multiple records vs. single records for series and sets]].
[[Category:Local practices]]
 
Anime movies, OVA, and television series boxed sets follow the rules for cataloging videorecordings.
