Thank you, Banana.

However, the guidelines for unaired episodes do not apply here, or at least I couldn't find anything in there that is relevant to Full Metal Panic specifically since all 12 episodes were originally aired in 2003. The full listing of all 12 episodes also already exists on TMDB but only in the Full metal Panic Fumoffu independent show listing with the matching air dates.

In any case, I would like to sincerely thank you for your kind attention and moderation on these boards.

They do. They are two unaired episodes/segments:

Thank you! I stand corrected. Have a lovely day! 😊

Thanks, you too!

If you think all the segments should be split, please make a new report instead of hijacking this one.

I'm saying that season 2 should have 12 episode per the original request by not combining 1A and 2B.

They were allegedly broadcast as one episode. I have to follow the same guidelines for all episodes. They're either distinct segments and should all be split. Or they're not, and should remain whole.
