Curious question, I host a single instance of sonarr that supports anime through tags. Is there an advantage to hosting 2 instances instead?

Single instance works fine, but a separate instance allows you to set global quality settings that are more accurate for anime: https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/Sonarr-Quality-Settings-Fil...

    You can configure quality profile via the tags too (I do have separate profiles for anime vs liveaction). I didn't even set the tag, as I don't intermingle them in the same directory, and automatic tagging by sub path is possible too

    So I'm also surprised why someone would configure a second instance for that

      If using the TRaSH guides (synced automatically with recyclarr), with all their quality profiles etc, I find that those mostly don't make sense for anime. It's easier for me to keep the anime specific stuff separate, different naming conventions, different episode numbering, etc.
