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.

    Can you explain? Are you manually setting tags for every anime you add? How does it work with requests made thru Seerr?

      I'm not using seerr, I've used overseer and jellyseer for a while years ago, but as I'm the only person interacting with radarr/sonarr... The value wasn't there for me.

      I suspect it's would still work, but haven't tried it out

      Sonarr/radarr has the ability to configure multiple library roots. Those are available in a drop-down when adding a new series through the (son|rad)arr interface

      This is eg /media/(anime-series|series) for me. Then I defined a rule for those paths to add an anime|lifeaction Tag.

      This then controls the tracker and quality profiles, as well as language preferences etc
